IN CENTRAL FALLS.
A Peculiar Case Before
Judge G0ff.
A CYCLIST INJURED.
An Illustration of the Loose Manage
ment of the Republicans.

Judge Gof had queer case before him
this morning. Thomas Lane Is young
man about 27 years OF age and years ago
was smart lad. For some time he has
shown symptoms OF being insane, and
upon the complaint OF his father he was
brought before the Court upon the charge
OF insanity.
Upon his arrival DR.. Remington ex-
amined him, but could find no indica-
tion OF the charge pefferred against him.
When His Honor questioned the father
II was learned that the son was partly an
imbecile.
The father was well to do, owning con-
siderably real estate. He wanted the son
taken away. The Judge refused to take
the case, and the father then attempted to
put the unfortunate in charge OF Overseer
of Poor Baker, but that gentleman also
refused to entertain the case. The son
then returned home with the father. The
son presented "a most unpleasant sight.
CycIist Hurt.
James Fowler of Providence, a well
known cyclist, while riding his machine
on Cross street Sunday afternoon, was
run into by large Newfoundland dog
and was thrown. He sustained small
fracture Of the right wrist.
Loose Work.
That the affairs OF the town are carried
on very loosely everyone knows, and al
most everyone admits. One of the Suu-
day papers gave the following illustration:
"rhe muddle that the school census
| enumerat ors got into during the recent
| enumeration is a matter OF considerable
| Importance, but no one knows where
| the matter stands today, notwithstand-
| ing the fact that the subject has been
| considered by a committee and acted
upon definitely by the Council. The
| trouble arose over the fact that two OF
| the enumerators had turned in lists OF
names, many OF which were duplicated.
| To a double bill the Council objected to
paying, and it was referred to the COM
mittee. The committee reported that
| the trouble between the enumerators had
been settled, and the bills had been made
| satisfactory to the committee, and the
Council voted to pay the bills. A
| compromise was made of the bills, and
the men have received the money for
| their work. The town has been secured
| against having to pay for work that was
| done twice, and that is all that has been
done. Have the books of the enumerators
been corrected2 That Is the most i'm
portant matter. The town could well af-
| ford to make settlement with the emu
merators either through a compromise or
| by paying each bill, for, either way, 1t was
but matter of few dollars, but the town
cannot afford to have a census that Is at
fault, and most seriously So, and az 1t
| stands Is valueless to the school authori-
ties of either town or State.
"The heenumerators have been paid and the
are wort HESS. Upon the enumeration of
| the school children Is based the State ap-
prupriation for the town for public
schools, and it is doubtful il the appro-
| priation will be made this year on any
such enumeration as has been submitteds >
| What the Council should have done when
| it found that the work was erroneous, was
to have ordered 1t done over before any
payment was made"
Successful Plant
The Farwell Woolen Company, which
| purchased the plant and business of the
| Central Falls Woolen Mill Company some
months ago, is evidently making success
of its venture. Since it took hold of the
property 1t has made many changes, and
| its working force has greatly increased.
| During this week a number Of old style
| cards are to be removed from the second
story of the main building, and the room
thus obtained is to be utilized for a weave
shop. Sixty looms of an approved pattern
| will be put in at once and started as soon
as possible. Other improvements are In
contemplation, looking toward the in
creased efficiency of the plant.
| Interesting Items.
