of the boy. About IL O'clock he was taken
from his unhappy home in a very much
abused condition. His father and mother
were drunk, and, because he was not able
to obey the inebr ates' demands, h. was
pounded shamcfully. The unfortunate
lad has been an invalid for nearly two
years, and for the past six months has
been confined to his bed,
His parents continued to abuse him, and
the boys screams were heard by neigh

Offer Morrison was called, and he at once
arrested Sawyer and his wife for drunken
ness.

where he now lies In precarious condi-
ton, and the attending physician says
there Is no hope of his recovery. The

age, and the trial of young McCarrick on
a charge Of revelling. The "rescuer" was
busy marshaling his witnesses, the
"sisters" and "brothers" of the soul
saving arrangement over which Harkins
presides. He also took notes Of the diff
ferent parts of his defense that he wished
to bring out forcibly.
The crowd got a little impatient and
now and then Kissed or jeered at Harkins.
The audience was destined TO be disap-
pointed for Judge Shove came In at $3.50
and announced that both cases would be
continued until next Wednesday.

The Football Association May Build One ON
Its Grounds.

The football ASSOCIATION May Build One on
Its Grounds.
The people OF Pawtucket may still have
q chance OF seeing polo here this season
for the Free Wanderers Foot oall Associa-
tion have taken the matter I'm hand and
may build a suitable rink.
This piece of news will be received with
pleasure by the many admirers OF the
game and they all, no doubt, will lend
their assistance to make the proposed
scheme a success.
The association organized a sho.. time
ago by electing Abe. Haigh, president; |;
William Kenyon, treasurer; Robert
Turner, secretary; Joseph Walker, fnan-
cial secretary; and John Clark, manager.
The team was a failure financially last
year but otherwise il was decided sue
cess, winning everything. The cause OF
the team going in debt was high salaries
and hard luck.
The weather clerk seemed against them,
but this year II Is said he has been "seen,"
80 better weather may be expected. How
ever team will be put in the field and the
makeup will be the same as last year with
the exception OF In goal. Denny Shea has
gone back to Fall River, but In his place a
man considered equally as good, il Denny
can be equalled, : has been secured. His
name is Murray and he comesirom Scot
land. Saturday he will be given n trial,
also Newman, another acquisition, in
the game with the Y. M. Z. A. team.
Irving OF the East Ends has written, say
ing that he would like to tend goal for
Pawtucket. He is good man so the team
Is solid.

to form a stock company and petition
for a charter has been drawn up and over
100 have signed signifying their intention
to take stock.
The stock will be a share and each
share will entitle the holder to a vote. The
idea IL to sell 400 shares as IT is thought
s2,cH0 Will be sufficient. Copies of the PEI
| tition will he struck of and left at differ
ent places for signatures. II is the inten-
tion OF the association to build a rink
suitable for polo and exhibitions on the
grounds on the Barton street end.
There Is plenty of room for a rink ana
IL will not interfere with either football
or baseball. Unless a rink is built the
polo team must be transferred to some
other city.
IL is also the intention OF the association
to have New England iLeague baseball
team hear next Summer and thus 1t will
be paying Investment for anyone to
take stock. Pawtucket will support all
three teams managed properly and our
polo team was a success and only because
1t had good men at the head.
There will be a meeting OF the stock
holders at the football house on the
| grounds tomorrow evening and all inter-
ested are invited to attend. Several well
TO do men have said they will take stock
in such an association and the fact that &
rink is to be built will bring In many
members. The shares are selling fast.

wealth, Charles +. Choate looked after the
cases " the defendants. Lawyer Choate
did not want TO try the case single
handed, but Judge Bouve overruled his
motion for continuance, and
The Trial Began.
The defense brought forward no wit
nesses, and neither side made argument,
somewhat to the sappointment of a
crowd that PACKED tie courtroom TO suffo-
cation.
Lawyer Coughlan made good point by
offering AS evidence record of the appica-
tion Of the Old Colony road to the SUI
preme court for writ of injunction re-
straining the electric road fro IN laying its
tracks at the North Arlington crossing.
Judge Knowlton had refused to grant
the injunction. This was important rs
showing that the Consolidated officials
were cognizant that the electric road had a
legal right to cross the Consolidated
tracks.
The evidence did not show that the three
defendants actually assaulted the com
plainant. but Judge Bouve considered
that he was
Justified In Sentencing Them.
He said he felt that he ought not to
send the cases up to the grand jury, be-
cause they were clearly within the juris-
diction of his court; he was Of the opinion
that the action of the Consolidated road
officials was entirely unwarranted; the de-
PENDANTS acted under a mistaken concep-
,tion as to their rights. and their acts ex-
posed great many people TO serious in
jury.
Mr. Sanborn took the sentence with pla-
cidity. "We've heard one chapter today"
be remarked, but in Plymouth there will
be two chapters"
There Was General Rejoicing
over the verdict among the townspeople,
who sympathize strongly with the electric

MANTLE FROZEN OUT.
Senate Says He Is Not En-
titled 10 a Seat.
LOSS OF A SILVER VOTE.
The Prospect Of Early Action In the
Senate Is Good.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Lee Mantle's
claim TO "A seat in the senate from Montana
has been rejected-yeas, 35; nays, 80.
Although the case was hung up on a
motion to reconsider. growing out Of a
misunderstanding as to Senator Mcrgan's
pair with Senator Quay. 1t is believed by
senator's that the decision will stand.
This means that Governor Osborne of
Wyoming will not appoint successor to
Mr.. Beckwith, and that ex-senator Allen
OF Washington, also appointed by the gov.
ernor of his state, will not be seated. II
Is now known that Allen, II admitted,
would have voted for unconditional re-
peal. while Mr.. Mantle and the Wyoming
man would have voted against 1t and foi
free coinage. Thus the silverites, accord.
ing to the vote yesterday. lose two recruits
and one vote net
What the Vote Indicates.
The vote was not strictly a test of the
comparative strength of the repealers and
the silverites, although the silverites, espe-
cially on the Republican side, did all tina
they could In the circumstances to get
votes for Mantle. But senators In many
cases divide rather on the legal aspects of
the case. so that the roll call does not indi-
cate how they would vote on the question
OF unconditional repeal. There is no
longer, however, any doubt on either side
Of the senate that the majority for uncon-
dtional repeal would be larger than the
majority against Mr. Mantle rather than
smaller.
Ranging all the IS members of the SEN
ate (there being vacancy from Washing
ton, from Wyoming and from Montana)
as they are expected to vote, IL present, on
the Voorhees, bill, the estimates OF the best
judges In the oenate give Al in the affima.

ers do not wish to give the names OF the
senator's whom they expect to vote for the
Voorhees, bill at present, for obvious rea-
sons, but there can be no question that
they have at least 45 votes now and good
prospect OF two or three more by the time
the vote Is reached
Policy of Delay.
There are half dozen southern senator's,
who would rather vote the other way, but
who are willing for the sake Of the admin
istration to cast their votes for uncondi-
tioDal repeal il they are needed. Delay is
the only weapon the silverites have now
In the senate (although they are still
talking of fastening on free coinage
amendment without seeing how they will
do it), and that cannot be used indef-
initely.
Senator Voorhees, has already notified
them that they will not be allowed to use
the national bank ejaculation bill as an
obstruction, and Democratic senator's who
will vote against repeal have notified the
Republican silverites that they will not
go into a filibustering movement with
them.
The prospect therefore, for early action,
perhaps some time next month, I'm the
senate is good, after the house shall have
passed the Wilson bill by the large ma
jority now expected, and shall have prac-
tically suspended business until the SEN
ate disposes of the matter, as the house
now proposes to do.
