STRUCK BY THE TRAIN.
JOHN HUBB1RD FEARFULLY MAN-
GLED ON THE ~ T.. ROAD TO-DAY.
Was Walking from His Work Towards
His Home in HarrisvilIo- Ho Is Now
MT the Rhode Island Hospital.

John Hubbard, 60 years of age, night
watchman at the Mapleville mills was
struck by passenger train on the Woon-
socket division OF the New York and
New England road this morning, and was
terribly mangled and bruised.
Hubbard, who lives in Harrisville, was
walking on the track towards his home.
He had gotten half way over bridge
when the train due in Burrillville from
Woonsocket at 9:d5 a. m. rounded q
curve short distance away and
bore down upon him. Before
he could get off the track and before the
train could be stopped the engine struck
him. As soon as possible the train was
brought TO a standstill and the man
was picked up. Ii was found that the
wheels had passed over his left leg just
above the ankle and had nearly severed
the foot from the limb. His right leg
was found to be broken in two places be-
low the knee, and numerous contusions
and cuts completed his injuries.
Hubbard was taken to the station at
Burrillvile and was attended by DR.. Rob-
crt Wilcox, aud aS soon as possible he was
brought TO Harrisville, where he was
placed on the 12:45 p. m. train, due
in this city at lao p. m. end was
conveyed to the Rhode Island Hospital in
the ambulance.
Hubbard il the father OF G.. w. Hub
bard who is in business in this city.
DIR. Wilcox accompanied the victim of
the accident 20 this city and went with
him TO the hospital.

AN ELECTRIC SOLUTION.
BRISTOL PASSENGERS NAY ne
LANDED wEORD STREET.
Proposed TO Draw the Train Along South
Water Street by an Electric Motor.
It's Thought 1t Would Be satisfactory

In view OF the renewal OF the agitation
by the citizens OF Bristol and Newport
counties, whereby they are urg-
ing the Consolidated railroad
to extend their Old Colony system
to the center of the city, many suggest
ions have been made whereby at least
temporary relief may be offered the pa
irons of the line, while the problem OF the
overhead system is being adjusted. The
Old Colony road, which Is leased by the
Consolidated, has been granted the
right of way through South Water
about TO Crawford street at grade. Hence
the Consolidated would meet with no OBJ
stacle from the city authorities il by some
contrivance they could land their passen-
gers at Crawford street bridge. Accord
ingly the suggestion has been
made that an electric motor
might be attached to the train on its ar
rival at the station on India street and
the cars drawn over the present track on
South Water street. This would not in
yolve any considerable outlay, as the
plans and estimates have already been
designed and submitted, and
this plan could be readily perfected during
the winter months, when the passengers
meet with conditions which bad weather
and delays render peculiarly aggravating.
1t is believed that this scheme
would meet with the approval OF all the
patrons of the line, and President Clark
OF the Consolidated would be regarded as
a public beneficiary If he would give the
enterprise his prompt and unqualified en-
dorsement

Why The Aldermen Have PsFSiStentiy
Refused to Concur
IN THE FIRE COMMISSION BILL
Alderman West Said TO he Getting
Ready Ia Submit as Member of AS
ssmbly q Bill Repeating the Law Call
Ing for Such Commission.

1t leaked out today that one OF the
most significant reasons why the board OF
aldermen have steadily refused to concur
in the bill creating fire commissioner
is based upon the determination of Alder
man West, who is member of the general
assembly, to introduce bill repeating
the law and seeking to vest the
control and management of the fire de-
partment in the board OF aldermen as is
the case with the police department.. AS
Alderman West and his colleagues have
steadily. antagonized the bill, they are
undoubtedly favorable to the election of
chief, deputy and assistants, and ex-
ercising the authority of appointmentan and
removal by recommendation of the chief.
AS the general assembly will not meet
until the last OF January, the city council
will pass the election OF these officers and
in the interim, the department will run
along under existing conditions. 1t is
quite likely that Alderman West may Sc
cure the passage of his bill in the house
which has a Democratic majority, but
it may meet with rejection in
the Republican senate perhaps for the
same reason that the Republican common
council have insisted upon the election OF
the commission in conformity with the
law passed by the general assembly when
the Republicans were in the majority and
passed the bill because the city council
asked for legislation creating the commits
sion.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
A Former Rhode Island Minister Arrested
in New York.

FORMER khOre fsIanu minister ARRESTED
i'm New York.
LONG ISLAND CITY, Dec. 27.--As was pre-
dicted in THE NEWS when the case first
came into public notice Rev. Edward Bell,
editor of the Weekly Flag, and his wife,
were arrested last evening on the charge
of neglecting and i'll treating Arthur Bel,
13 years old, child by Bells former wife.
The boy was taken to the hospital a
week ago, following the death of his 16-
year-old sister Edith. She died of pneu-
monia and dipbtheria. She had no medi-
cal attendance, and her body was ex-
humed for chemical analysis. The neigh
bors assert that the girl was shockingly
treated. Several weeks previous TO that
another child in the family, Harry Bell,
IL years old, was found dead under SINH
lar circumstances. The autopsy showed
that he was suffering from typhoid mala-
ria.
Agent Meyer of the Brooklyn society
for the prevention of cruelty to children,
swore out the warrant on which Bell and
his wife were arrested Meyer says he
has evidence enough against both to have
them indicted for manslaughter in con-
nection with the death OF the two children
named.
Bell was formerly minister at Wake
field, II. Land was afterwards well known
in this city.

NEWS ALSO CoNGRATULATEs
Wilbour, Jackson a. Co., and sheldon g.
Binney ON Their Kesum ption.


The members of the firm of Wilbour,
Jackson & Co., and Sheldon & Binney
have been holding receptions at their
Offices today. Since an early hour in the
morning their friends have called TO con-
gratulate them upon the resumption of
business and TO wish them the greatest
success for the future.
Soon after the two firms were compelled
to make arrangements they placed a
proposition before their creditors. This
was to the effect that they be permitted
to resume business, and, IL this permission
was granted, they would agree TO meet all
of their liabilities at the end OF three
years.
The creditors took the matter under ad-
visement and after a number of meetings
had been held they decided to accept the
proposition. Mr.. c. s. Sweetland, the
assignee, was notified of the decision and
ycsttr rday he reconvcyed all of the prop
erty TO the two firms, and placed all future
responsibility on their shoulders.
Among those who called at the office
this morning were many persons who had
formerly had business dealings with the
firm, and as they expressed the greatest
confidence in their abilities to meet all
their claims, and were willing to open
accounts with them again, it ia believed
that they will have no trouble to meet
their part OF the agreements.

A GRIEVOUS AFFLICTION.
C. ". LIPPITT LOSES TWO CHTL-
DREy IRON SCARLET FEyER
and His Remaining Child Is Danger
Only n Few Hours.

The many friends of Mr.. Charles War
rem Lippitt, the treasurer of Silver Spring
Bleaching and Dyeing company, will SYM
pathize with him in tho sudden death OF
two of his children.
Mr.. Lippitt's three children were taken
suddenly i'll yesterday morning and al
though it was at first regarded as nothing
more than slight indisposition the little
ones grew worse SO rapidly that the family
physician was summoned ffc soon dis
covered that they were suffering from
scarlet fever OF the most dangerous type
and he scarcely left them during the night.
Notwithstanding his care, however, the
disease was beyond his skill, for the
youngest child, an infant daughter, died
att O'Clock last evening, and the oldest
boy, Charlie, who was about six years old,
breathed his last soon after 8 o'clock this
morning.
Although the other boy, Alexander, is
regarded as in a most critical condition,
it is thought that his condition was
somewhat improved this morning, and
the physician is in hope Of being able to
save his life.
The children seemed to be in the best OF
health on Monday. Early in the morning
they were taken to the home OF their
uncle. Mr.. Henry f. Lippitt, where they
found a large Christmas tree awaiting
them. They remained there during the
day enjoying the Christmas games and
pleasures with the other children and no
one would have imagined that they had
but few hours of life before them.
The members of the family are almost
heart broken at the suddenness of the
blow and every effort is being made to
save the life of the other boy.
