TRAP LAID FOR HIM.
BY the Treasurer, and
Mills Was Caught.
RUMORS THAT HE SUICIDED
Investigation Of Charges Against Mills
by the Military Board Suspended.i

NEwBuRrPoRT, Mass, May a6.-The an
nouncement yesterday morning Of the en-
bezzlement OF j. Albert Mills from the
Victoria Mills corporation was eagerly
read by the people of this city. j. w.
Langdon, who is temporarily acting as
agent of the corporation, was beseiged for
news by reporters every hour in the day.
No Arrest Was Made Yesterday.
but 1t is given out on the best authority
that Colonel Mills has companion who Is
undoubtedly an officer Of the law. II now
seems probable that warrant will be is
sued and an arrest will be made today.
Every effort to obtain an interview with
Colonel Mills has been unsuccessful. In
variably the reply to the ringing of the
door bell was that the colonel did not wish
to see any one.
The examination of the books Is pro-
gressing as rapidly as possible, but 1t will
be some time before the full amount Of
the embezglement Is ascertained. 1t Is
given out that Colonel Mills
Admitted the Embezzlement
to the directors at the meeting last Satur.
day. The treasurer of the corporation,
Daniel Ii. Kane, laid a trap for the unsus.
pecting agent on the last pay day, and
into it the embezzler fell.
The report that Colonel Mills had COM
mitted suicide spread rapidly throughout
the city early last evening, but on investi-
cation 1t was found that there was no
truth in the rumor 1t caused much ex-
element, however.
To BE believed OF Command.
The military court Of inquiry ordered to
investigate cercain charges of Major Cope
land against Colonel Mills of the Eighth
infantry, M. V. NJ, was to have held it's
third session at the South armory yester-
day afternoon. The members of the court
were on hand, as were Major Copeland
and a corps of witnesses, but the defend
ant, Colonel Mills, did not appear, de-
tanned, 1t was understood, "by circum-
stances beyond his control"
After waiting awhile and talking over
the news of Colonel Mills trouble, the
court finally decided to adjourn, subject
to the call of the president, Colonel Ban
croft. 1t was the consensus Of opinion
that the case would be discontinued, the
new difficulties in the path of Colonel
Mills being of such nature that it would
be useless and needlessly expensive to
proceed.
During the afternoon 1t was learned
that, in view of the criminal charges
against Colonel Mills, the commander-in-
chief had decided to issue an order reliev-
ing him from the command of the regi-
ment, 'for the good and efficiency of the
militia" pending investigation, and that
Lieutenant Colonel Dodge had been Or
dered to take command of the regiment
and receipt for the state property.
Up to the time the governor Left for home
he had not been able to give any attention
to the matter, but that such an order will
be issue d early this morning Is certain.

TWO GAINED!
Democrats Carry
S0uthKIngSt0Wn
A MAGNIFICENT FIGHT.
Baker Will Probably Be
Our Next Governor.
REPUBLICANS ARE WORRIED
Catching At Every Straw to Retain
the Reins of Power.
Catching At Every Straw to Retain
the Reins of Power.

The special election in South Kings
town yesterday for two members of the
General Assembly, which convenes next
Tuesday, resulted in a substantial Demo-
cratic victory.
Browning was chosen senator by 6S ma
jority, and Walker representative by 5S
majority.
The Democrats made magnificent fight
against the greatest odds.
The Democrats have 81 members OF their
own party elected in the two houses and
the Republicans claim 81.
The present Lieutenant Governor has a
vote in the selection of State officers In
the new Assembly, and under ordinary
circumstances the Republicans would
elect their State ticket.
| Senator Thomas Carr Watson, indepen-
dent Republican, OF Jamestown, has
bolted the Republican ring at the State
| House, and he states absolutely that he
will vote for the Democratic candidate for
Governor. This gives the Democrats the
spare vote necessary to choose their State
ticket, and 1t settles a prospective elec-
tion day muddle that bid fair to spread
beyond the usual dimensions.
The Republicans Will now have to
arrange new programme, and IL there is
anything In the rumor that they may have
the support of a Democratic member that
fact will come to light. That there is any
truth to the story, however, is regarded as
improbable. The plain, absolute condi'
tion is that II Senator Watson votes with
the Democrats the Republicans are de-
feated.
There Is a vacancy, however, in the
House from Westerly by failure to elect
and 1t is expected that the Democrats will
force Senator-elect Hoxie to take his seat
in the Senate or remain out Of 1t.
This with the detection of Senator
Watson would leave the Republicans in a
decided minority.
Another element entered into the con-
| test today when Joseph w. Vaughn, the
Democratic candidate for representative
i'm the town of East Greenwich served
notice upon Assemblyman Samuel Allen OF
that town and upon Secretary State Utter
of a contest of the East Greenwich seat in
the House of Representatives. The
charges are bribery, fraud and corruption,
also illegality.
The delight Of the Democrats over their
hard earned victory was manifested on all
sides. Telegraphic and telephone COM
munications was promptly had with Rep
resentative- elect s. X. Honey and guberna-
torial candidate David 8. Baker, and mu-
tual congratulations were exchanged.

kind OF clothing. We sell you as low,
and many of our customers say lower,
than you pay to those dealers who try all
sorts of schemes to induce you to buy
cheap, mean fitting garments, there is but
one real cheap kind of clothing, that Is
the best II you are interested in good

Policy of the Administration.

WASHINGTON, May e6. - The attorney
generals. explicit instructions to the
United States district attorney in Chicago
to present the matter of the opening of the
Worlds fair on Sunday to the federal
courts, in case he found, on his return to
Chicago, that the commission adhered to
its announced purpose of opening the
gates on Sunday next, is understood to be
in line with general policy adopted by
the administration, after full considera-
ton.
Attorney General Olney, being seen, un-
hesitatingly confirmed the statement as to
the nature of the instructions he had given
the district attorney, and rs to the deter
mination of his department to take legal
measures to prevent the law of congress
being violated

THE SENATORS WON.
Tey Played Close and Uphill Game and
Lowared the Champions Colors.

BosroN, May 20. - The Washingtons
played fine uphill game yesterday at the
South End grounds, and succeeded in
throwing down the champions, when the
latter had obtained good lead in the first
inning and again in the fourth.
Meekin was much wilder than Stivetts,
but when he did get the ball over the plate
somehow the local men couldn't hit it
safely.
Camel and Tucker did about all the bat
ting for the Bostons, Duffy and Nash be-
ing the only others to do anything. The
boys seem bent on slamming at the ball
with all their strength, and are paying but
little attention to sacrifice hitting Nc
Carthy was an evil genius in Meekin's
eyes, and got his base four times on balls.
Merritt handled Stivett's delivery in fine
shape, and Duffy and Mccarthy made
several good catches.
