THE ICE.
IL is beginning to Yield to the Slightly
Warmer Weather.

IL Is beginning to Yield to the Slightly
Warmer Weather.
Those whose callings do not compel
them To go down TO the sea in ships have
inferred that the thaw during TIE past five
days has succeeded in lifting the Ice en-
barge that has blocked the passage Of
ships for almost a month at this end OF
the bay. The ice has broken consider
ably, and boats have broken several pas
sages for their private use.
Farther out the ice still maintains an
u~nbroken pan OF solid material
averaging seven inches in thickness aud
20 tough and unyieldiug that smaller
craft are still unable to force a passage.
Around Rocky Point the ice broke up in
large segments last week, but n sudden
change in the wind on Saturday sent the
whole mass careening down in the direc-
tion OF this port.
In consequence of this fact the facilities
for navigation at this end of the bay have
again been placed in "a badly hampered
condition. Boats that have determined
upon a cruise suffer keenly from constant
contact with the Jagged edges OF these
itinerant icebergs and nearly every craft
is provided with iron or wooIel shields.
Still. the thaw is having its effect upon
the ice at the other end of the bay and
hope is now expressed that the present
conditions Will D o be improved subj
GENTLY TO permit at least a fair state of
navigation.
The steamer Richard Borden left again
to-day, touching at Bristol. This Is the
Secr ID trip that she has made in nearly
three weeks. Last Thursday she made
the first "trip in w As eeks.

THE L0NSDALE INQUEST.

Occupants of the Sleigh Were Not singing
and Did Not Hear the Bell.
At the inquest into he Lonsdale calam'
ity Saturday afternoon the testimony OF
several of the members OF the sleighing
party was taken. The principal facts
brought out in their testimony were:
That the party ceased singing near the
Catholic OAK. which is contrary TO the
story as related at the time OF the acct
dent; that neither ~ ringing OF the bell
nor the blowing IL the whis lie on the
locomotive was heard by the party, one
witness going SO far as TO say that IL the
whistle or bell had been sounded they
would have been heard; hat there was
very little liquor in the party, aud "A pint
bottle of whisky doing for the halt-doZen
or so who desired IL; that the driver stood
up at his post all the time, and seemed To
be "A careful aud experienced man. None
OF those who testified saw the driver
drink anything, or have n bottle.
those Of the party who testified were:
Arthur Blackwell. ThomasS Sc FORA, Frank
Schora, John IL ggett, Mrs. Mary Schora,
Maggie White and Katie Locke.
To.day's Testimony.
At the inquest into the Lonsdale IA
tally this afternoon Division Superin-
tendent Frank G. Spencer OF the y. Y,
y. II. and III. testified that the railroad
had maintained a hagman at the Lousdaie
crossing Tor "A number of ears. Whether
or not il was the duty OF the railroad to
put "A flag man mt a r1ssing depended
upon the locality and the laws OF the
different towns.
Some time flagmen were placed at
crossings by the railroads Voluntarily.
Where no 50, cial hours were designated
by the town council 10 was sufficient to
place "A tiagman AT a crossing
during the hours when II appeared
that the business and travel of the
locality demanded it. The business hours
of the day are too well defined to allow
the removal of a flag man during these
hours.
There are but four regular trains
through Lonsdale between o o'clocS at
night and $3.50 in the morning, The flag
man is stationed there during the day be-
cause of the great travel and the greater
number of trains.
Mr.. Spencer considered that at the
locality in question the whistle and bells
of the locomotive were sufficient notice
of the approach Of the train after 9 l.. VI.
in addition 10 the usual posted warning.
lie did not consider the crossing n Ian
gerous one after 9 O'Clock. He thought
some crossings might be consi iered more
dangerous han others, but proper pre-
are not taken.

OTHER WRIqS FOR TOMORROW.
Supervisor BIodgett Proceeds Against
One Warden whose Action in Re
turning Ballots seems to Have Been
Improper-Ths Penalties are Severe.

The state institutions at Cranston and
heavy fine are staring the wardens of
the Tenth and First ward in the face.
The revelations OF tie sub-committee
which counted the congressional votes
In those wards were evidence of appar-
eut crookedness or at least great ignor-
ance.
The fact that large number OF ballots
had disappeared and large number of
state ballots had been returned to
the congressional counting committee,
has been brought to the attention OF
Supervisor Blodgett. pThe ballots OF
Wards One and Ten OF the city were
counted by Senator Roman, Represen ta-
tive McOsker and Deputy Supervise
George A. Rice.
Upon request Mr. Rice brought com
plaint against Stephen j. Larney. the
warden of District Ward Ten OF this
city for violation OF the election
laws. This morning Mt 10 o'clock,
Supervisor Blod yett issued writ OF
arrest against Lsrney, and ordered 1t
served today. The extreme penalty for
such apparent ,violatiol OF the laws Is
5000 fine and three years Imprisonment.
TIE minimum penalty Is 500.
he facts IN the case OF Lerney. the
warden, who Is the legal custodian of the
ballots after their counting are these !:
The packages returned 10 the congress
sonal counting committee cnntainod
one ballot for the Dsnocrati; state
ticket. The count of the ward
officers showed 130 votes for Melville
Bull for congress. The package sent
contained only one ballot Tor Mr.. Bull.
The package was loosely done up and
not properly sealed. 1t lis thought that
these ballots might have been sent 10
Newport.
The same sort of irre2ularity appeared
in regard to the ba.lo Of Ward One,
District One. of which William j.
keenan, was warden. The same
committee counted these bal
lots as those of Ward Ten.
complaint will also Ie ents red against
the ward officers of this ward aud dis
trict tomorrow. Supervisor Blod-
gett had not today determined against
whom the complaint should be entered
today. whether the warden or the clerk.
In this ward and district the count
showed $50 votes for Melville Bull. The
package returned to the committee con-
tanned only one vote for N. Bull. IL
contained however 4S2 Democrai ic, l3
Prohibition and Republican state ticket
ALI OF which should have besn sent to
