Leaving Ills Hat behind BIN.

About 2:30 o'clock this morning Pat
rick Burns, watchman at the Rumford
Chemical works, observed a man in what
he supposed a drunken condition, walk
down to the head OF the James street
dock. Mr.. Burns, little later, went down
the dock to sec what had become of him and
he found him lying on the cap log appar-
emily asleep. He warned him and used
his best endeavors to have the man leave
the dock, but OF no avail. He succeeded,
however, in getting him to get under
cover Of the Long Island Brick com
pany's shed. Mr.. Burns then retired TO
the works and attended to his watch
mans duties, after which he re-
turned tc the dock and found that the
man had gone, but that he had left his
hat behind him. Mr.. Beems searched
the premises very carefully and rushed
through the streets in the vicinity but
could find no traces of him. He at
once notified Frank j. Baxter, assistant
superintendent OF the Point street bridge,
who with graphing irons worked about
the water for an hour or more but failed
TO find the body. The hat was taken to the
police station and it Is believed that the
man walked or fell over the edge OF the
wharf and was drowned.
Who the man was, is at present, mys-

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

A Rous'ng Meeting in Blackstone Hall
Expected Tomorrow Night.
Blackstone hall has been engaged for a
special meeting OF the Providence
Athletic association tomorrow even
ing, called to authorize the govern
ing committees, and especially the
special commission, that is sputting up and
rebuilding, to proceed and finish up their
work. 1t Is understood that the commit
tee has some mighty interesting informa-
tion to give the club on the
action upon which depends, perhaps,
the very existence OF the
club. The beautiful building on Wey-
bosset street Is a monument to the good
taste, economy and ability of the commit
tee in charge and when completed will be
an honor to Providence and to the club
that occupies it.
The club now has some 500 members,
most Of whom are residents in the city,
and it is expected that Blackstone hall
won't be big enough to hold all who
attend. At any rate interest in
the meeting is lively and an immense lot
OF curiosity has been excited as to just
what kind of information the committee
refers to in it's circulars as proposing to give
out. Officers from other athletic clubs
are expected to be present. Altogether
the meeting promises to be important,
not only to the club, but in way, to the
whole citv

A MAD Gilman
II Tclling His Customers How Their
Laundry Was Stolen From Him.

IL Tclling His Customers How Their
Laundry Was Stolen From Him.
Wah Lung is thoroughly mad. His
little laundry at 366 1-2 Branch avenue
resounded to the choicest of Chinese
"swear" words at intervals during this
morning, and instead OF the usual sphinx
like placidity which characterizes his
calm moments, dark scowl, bespeaking
thoughts of dire vengeance, distorts his
features.
The cause of this great change in the
disposition Of the representative of the
fiowery kingdom is directly due to the
operation of a midnight marauder who
stole into Wah Lungs shop last night and
distracted quantity of clothes valued at
800.
So quietly did the burglar enter the
shop that Lung was unaware OF the visit
until this morning when he awoke to
find his shelves bare and the clothes miss
ing.
Then there was howl of mingled rage
and sorrow and Wah Lung tore about his
little shop at furious gallop.
He reported the robbery to the police of
Station 2, who investigated the premises
and found that the thief had entered by
forcing open a rear window. Mah will
sleep with one eye open henceforth. The
owners of the laundry that was stolen are
being explained to this afternoon by an
excited Chinaman.

HUBLEy's HAND.
a Suspicion That He srutiIated II to Get

a Suspicion That He Sfutilated II to Get
Insurance.
WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 12.-Zacharias
A. Hubley of this city had hand injured
by On accidental discharge of gun he
was carrying while hunting in Halifax ~
August last. Had he lost his hand he
would have claims for s06, 800 from % ac-
cident insurance companies, but he merely
lost finger.
For this loss he waited 20 weeks indem-
nifty from each company in all amount
ing to s6725. And they won't give IL to
him. Seventeen OF the said companies
refuse to acknowledge the claim. Three
have compromised on 10 weeks indem-
nifty.
Hubley carried 90 accident policies in
70 companies. Nearly all OF the 2p
policies were taken out since Jan. 1, 1891.
The policies aggregated s133, 500, and
weekly indemnity Smounts TO s672.5o.
Each pays one-half for the loss of a hand
when it il taken off at the wrist.
An insurance Investigator got the gun
and tried experiments with il, but being
unable to kill himself decided that Hub
ley had done something queer. He says
that Hubley tried to get four doctors to
cut off his hand, but was refused
One Of the doctors said that the hand
was down tight on the muzxle of the gun,
and the hole was just about the size of the
BARREL II the hand had been away from
the muzzle of the gun, even quarter or a
half of an inch, the hand would have
been blown off.
As it stands now, he has $50. 10 weeks
indemnity from three companies He has
refusals on anything whatever from the
other companies, and be has memories OF
sec, $50 he would have received IL he didn't
have his hand left. e.8

Smithonian Social Club Fair.

The second week OF the Smithonian
Social club fair in Carroll street hall
opened last night with much brighter
prospects than was anticipated, judging
from the adversities of last week to which
the inclement weather was almost wholly
responsible. The attendance last night
was very satisfactory and included the
Pekin Literary association and Providence

in body and gave liberal patron
age to the various booths which are
laden with ornamental as well as useful
articles. The voting on the various ar
ticles is progressing finely, the dolls and

much interest as the watch and

quietly but with great earnestness. Miss

music is furnished for those who desire to

MRS. LINCOLN'S LECTURE.

some isappointmcnt That These Lee-
tnres arc Not Well Attended.
Mrs. Lincoln gave her last lecture on
scientific cookery this afternoon at
Tillinghast's hall. The committee Of
ladies who were instrumental in bringing
Mrs. Lincoln here do not feel that the
lectures have been taken up with as much
enthusiasm as they were led to expect
from the warm reception given the sub
ject of scientific cooking ct the Food and
Health exposition held in Infantry hall
last month. The ladies who were present
at the lectures, however, felt
they were amply repaid by attend
ing for they not only obtained
many recipes OF appetizing dishes
entirely new but also gained many i'm
portGnt points of value in regard to the
economy OF the kitchen. The coming hol-
iday season and subsequent attractions in
other directions riay explain in part the
apparent lack OF interest, and the COM
mittee regret that they were unable to
procure Mrs. Lincoln for any other dates
more acceptable.
The audience this afternoon was the
largest of any OF the lectures. A new way
OF preparing baked potatoes for the tn BILE
was shown. The best method of preparing
coffee was demonstrated. Oyster salad
baked bananas and red cabbage, after the
German style, were also prepared. Mss
Barrows Of the Boston Cooking school
assisted Mrs. Lincoln and did much to
contribute to the success of the demon
st rat ion.

HOKE ON THE BENCH.
That's why He Went Into the Cabinet SO
He Wonld Not TO Forgotten.
Special TO The News


he Would Not 10 Forgotten.
Special to The News.
ATLANTA, Dec. l2.--The announcement
recently made that Hoke Smith would
probably be selected to fill the next va
cancy on the supreme bench is substan-
tiated by certain friends of the secretary
here.
When Mr.. Smith went into the cabinet
there were two propositions open to him.
One was to go into the cabinet and be APP
pointed to the supreme bench before the
expiration of his term, should vacancy
occur, and the other was TO continue the
practice of law in Atlanta until that time.
Now, Hoke Smith is nothing il not
thrifty. If he remained at the bar depend
ing upon getting the appointment some
time in the future, the value of
his services to- Mr.. Cleveland might di-
minish, and he would be passed over.
To put it plainly by this
time he might have been sailing in the
same boat with Mr.. Blackburn, the origi-
nal Cleveland man OF Georgia, who trusted
to the presidents memory and got left. So
Hoke decided to take the cabinet plum, as
there he could better keep Mr.. Cleveland
reminded OF the supreme court promise.
The fact is certain that Mr.. Cleveland
practically promised Mr.. Smith the place
and that before the present term is over,
unless the supreme court judges refuse to
accommodate the president by dying, he
will appoint Mr.. Smith TO the bench.
Another interesting item is that in such
event Mr.. Smith proposes to make his
residence in North Carolina.

NEW YoRK, Dee. 12.-The Herald's
special from Montevideo, Uruguay, via
Galveston, Texas, says: The Herald
correspondent at Rio Janeiro, Brazil,
sends word that the fighting in
the bay between the rebel war ships
Tamandare, Gunabara and Trajan and the
loyal forts and land batteries IN
Nictheroy still continues at lively pace.
Even official communication between
here and Rio by cable has been shut of
today and it Is expected that something
of great importance has happened there.
1t has been ascertained that the loyal
gunboat Tiradentes will again return to
her dock here in few days, presumably
Cor repairs.
The federal forces in Rio Grande do Sui
are preparing for another attack upon
Bage. They have decided TO risk every
thing in this fight and IL successful lay
siege to Santos next.
The Herald's Washington despatch says.
The navy department today after several
hours struggle over complicated cipher
despatch from Captain Picking, made the
following translation of the message:
0O''The Brazilian government hns re-
quested foreign consuls to warn vessels to
move from their present anchorage and
has drawn a line within which it will be
dangerous to venture. This will prevent
the loading and unloading of cargoes."
The state and navy department
authorities interpret this to mean
that President Peixoto is getting ready
for business, and that a big battle
Is now imminent. IL not back in Rio
harbor, the presumption here is that
Admiral Mello, with the Aquidaban, is
somewhere in the immediate vicinity.
