PROVIDENCE SIDETRACKED.
A Drummer's Scheme for New Rail
road Line.


road Line.
"rve got an idea for you," said drum
mer to a News man the other day, "and
it's big Que, too"
"Pve got some goods here that I must
sell in Pawtucket, and I've been COM
pelled TO stop off here because the firm
thinks we ought TO do some business
here But it can't be done. Why, l can
stop out a. GlDeyville and do some trad
ing, and can go to Pawtucket ana do a
good business in half day for each
place. But / come to Providence, salt
down two days and go away in debt for
nv hotel bill"
swell. what about that ideaf said
the reporter.
ooh, yes, that makes me think. But
the story brings OH the idea hat Paw
tucket aud Olneyvilie are greater bust
ness centres than Providence. You know
when you come up on the train IRON New
London, when you reach Olneyville the
train bears off to the right TO get into
the station in Providence. Now, | pro-
pose TO do away with that bend and go
Straight from Olneyville TO Pawtucket.
That would save about mile IN distance
for the train to run between New York a d
Boston and we drummers wouldn't miss
anything by not stopping at Providence" F"
The News man stood aghast at the great
idea, and finally murmured, "but you
can'G get any commerce by water to Paw
tucket."
"Get commerce! Why young man you
can get commerce anywhere that you in
run water. Give Pawtucket half the
show Providence has aud she would
have ner harbOr dug out in n few mon, hs
and have ship lines running all over the
world"
"Yes," said the scribe perhaps so. but
what of PrOvideuceg'
"Oh, Providence" said the drummer.
"Well, I'll tell you. Providence is sleepy
n ow, and IL the railroad should 90 shy OF
it in lew years Providence would be-
C ONE n second Fields Poi t and Fox
Point would become renown d for its
Maxfield clam dinners You people
never intended Providence 20 be n place
of business anyhow. You always have
tried TO make IL the center of social win
ter activity, and "a snore resort think
it would be bowling success"
The reporter got down his map and
surveyed the field. and found that what
the drummer had said was true, but
it occurred him that TO ruu a Lew
line Of railroad from Olueyyille to Paw
tucket would necessitate the cutting
away or climbing OF Fruit Hill. and he
suggested that slight obstruction to the
drummer.
"Well, perhaps that would make my
idea extensive" replied tue commercial
man. but think IL ought 10 be done just
the same. That's too great an idea To be
blocked by hill only 27j feet high" and
TIE drummer gripped his satchel littl,
tighter, and turned the corner on his
way TO the hotel.

TOLEDO. o., April a-Juige Taft to
day continued the injunction against
Chief Arthur aud the Brotherhood OF
L gineers. thereby prohibiting the boy
cott of the Ann Arbor freight.
Judge Kicks holds Engineer Lennin
guilty OF con- iempt. Every point of the
decision is in favor of Ann Arbor road.
1t could not be a more complete victory
for that company.
The preliminary injunction was issued
ten days ago, and was brought against
the Brotherhood engineers TO prevent
them from leaving their employment,
because their road. (the Ann Arbor) han
died freight transshipped from another
road whose employees had struck.
An appeal was taken by Chief Arthur
and carried to the higher court. which
reaffirms the injunction of the lower
court aEd makes it permanent.

Mr. BIodgett's Work.
The whole figuring heretofore on this
election has been based upon the effect
iveness OF the work OF Supervisor Blod-
gett. The ID mocrats have GAINED that
all but few of tie removed naturaliZe
voters names have been returned To the
lists b. the filing or their papers. Only
230 have been stricken from this citJ =
list, according Co the records at the city
hall. But the Democrats haven't SAID
anything about the dead men whose
names nave been removed. There are
even more of them than of the illegal
voters These dead names have been
used by the Dem ocrlts to vote upon for
years, aud the ioss OF them will be a great
blow TO the all ged ajorlty in this city.
OF course the Democrats claim that
the dead mems names have not be IN
used, but there are good evidences TO the
contrary. Here Is letter from Mr.. Nc
Intosn which shows how persistently
the names OF non-voters have been kept
on the lists of the Third ward.

blocks were burned aud more than 200
residences, the total loss footing far
above $S,0O0,Q00. Three thousand peo-
pie were made homeless by the great
confagration. The schoolhouses,
churches and public buildings left
standing were all utilized as places of
shelter during the night, and it cannot
