IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Mills Stopping For Lack
Of Water.
OFF FOR CAMP TOMORROW.
Body Of Robert W. Twohig Claimed.
Newsy Notes Of the Town.

Water is low In the Blackstone and will
be lower II the natural downfall OF rain
is not soon forthcoming. Several OF the
mill owners are not finding much fault
as business Is so quiet, and they use this
as an excellent excuse to cease work and
make the inspections for repairs.
The older residents state that the pres
ent condition OF the river is much lower
than for some time before and those who
have steam are continuing their business
without delay. The low water, poor bus
mess and the stringency in the money
market combined has caused much idle
ness among the working people, whose
presence Is seen on the streets. There are
some among the employees who were anx-
ious for a vacation and their desires will
be gratihed.
On the other hand to those who cannot
afford to be idle and who have nothing
laid by for rainy day 1t will be more Sc
we're. The general feeling among business
men here is that the present condition OF
things will soon ichange for the better
and those who have large amounts in the
Pawtucket banks do not appear very un-
easy. Machinists complain of dull
period, ION the account of the present
manufacturers condition of affairs. The
Farwell Woolen Company is doing an in
crsasing business.
For Camp Tomorrow.
The Cadets will leave for Camp
Moriarity at Crescent Park tomorrow af-
ternoon, numbering 35 muskets, three
officers, two musicians and a few guests.
They will probably 60 by boat. Upon
their arrival quarters will pe assigned,
followed by guard mount and supper.
The evening until taps will be devoted to
enjoyment. Sunday mornings reveille
will bring every one up early, and after
| breakfast clothing will be cleaned for
church. The command will march to the
Riverside church in body, and Capt.
Phillips has issued strict orders that
every man must attend unless excused by
illness. Sundays work will require only
what Is necessary, such as policinL-<ssf
camp, guard duty and II fair weather or
ders may be issued for dress parade. Mon
day the real work will be begin.
| Created Excitement.
Last evening two men and boy drove
down Central street In a fish peddler's
wagon. When near the corner of Mill
| street, string had to be procured to tie up
| the harness as the horse walked out of the
| shafts. To repay the loaner for the string
he offered to "set 'em up" but when In
formed the nature OF the business trans
acted at the store he was much surprised.
Within a short time after the trio disap-
peared one of the men and the boy came
down the street followed by a crowd.
They were fighting In the team. The boy
managed to "do up" the older man and
drove across North Main street bridge at
rapid gait, the crowd giving up the
chase.
Embury Church Excursion.
Although the weather was not of the
most encouraging nature, fairly good
number participated I'm the annual excur-
sion OF the Embury Sunday School today.
| They went to Rocky Point on the Paw
| tucket steamer and after dinner will sail
to Newport.
