walls in this city Is bound to re-
suit In fatalities aud that ut no
distant date. Men and women are
both In fault. but the con-
ductors are chiefly responsible. II man
signals car he is given an opportunity
to run r. 1t. II he won't run the car
will probably stop for him, but
IL depends upon the motor man
aud the conductor In charge. Last
Saturday on the Broad street line, just
this side OF the park, working man
attempted to get on an inwsrd bound
car. An outward bound car was rapidly
approaching. He slipped and rolled
under the car. Shrieks of horror
arose, the brake was put on with all tie
power the stalwart MOTOR man could APP
ply, and so sudden was the
shock OF stopping that the
fuse burned out over the moier. The
man had been rolled along in the DIRT and
was badly bruised but WAS uninjursd, 30
far as limbs or severe cuts were
concerned. How he escaped
Instant death was mystery.
For one thought the man WAS dead.
But IL was no fault OF those in charge OF
the car. 1t is poor pla !. this educating
the people to hop on aud of fast moving
cars urged on by electricity. Boston claims
a victim every week. The trolley cars
carry deaf aud loss OF limbs in their
wake everywhere. The cities OF New
England and of the country In
surrendering their streets to
these corporations should retain
power to s. control the rate OF sp ed.
safety appliances and other regulations
to insure safety that the pub ic would be
amply protected. The Providence CON-
a a H.. I...f IL
should take even greater precaution than
ever TAo Young lives were crushed out
yes erday. i hope Providence may be
long spared such fatalities, but it is use
less to expest so as long as this habit of
hopping ON aud of is allowed and encour-
aged.
I should really like to know by what
right the hucKsters monopolizs every
crossing in the vicinity OF the Crawford
street bridge every weekday morn
ing. doa't want my country
friends to think thlt do not want them
TO come into town, for on the contrary i
do aud it gives me an appetite to see
their wagons loale down with all sorts
ofgood things e. eat, but. gen lemen. give
the residents OF the ci y roo eloush
10 ross tue streets, and l won't say u
word.

While strollinR up Westmins or street
last evening MY atteation was attracted
to the middle OF the street by the sound
of eeI singing with tarnborine accom-
panist. At first / imagined that
was one OF he happy bands Of salvation
Army people " no are doing their utmost
To convert what few sinners still
remain in our z iod aud prosperous city.
Upon ol sser observation | found that the
sweet music ca ne from u parry wagon
drawn by six handsome gray Lorses. VINO
were bedecked with plumts and other
horse paraph, iala that goes TO make
IA turnout of this sort attractive The
turnout came u II tie closer, and / saw
that those on board had little narrow
baud OF bright red ribbon above their
head gear, and were singing all the
time. Upon investigation l found
that it was Corps 40 OF the Salvation
army OF the good city OF Tauntou. Mass,
who wce ON their way To pay visit 10
Corps No. OF this CITY. The party mum
berei about 30. aid were in charge of
pretty Miss Emily Corrigan. whoss
title was that Of a cnptain. Now the
Providence corps did not allow their
friends flo the land Tor water) OF tho her
ring to outdo them in the way of music.
l. was Salvation Army jubilee in full
blast. They had pleasant call aud drove
of TO the Massachusetts, b irracks about
10 O'Clock. There is something very at
tractive about these peculiar people. What
it is Icannot describe. but they seem TO
be homes earnest snd simple in their
grand work. and we cannoi appreciate the
eff sct thav exart imam fha MAMMA WI N
whom they labor. but we do know, you
and ], that they have been Instrumental

The departure of the New York steamer

the event Of the day lur the cottagers
