MANY MUNICIPAL MEETINGS.
UNUyUALLT BUST TINES IN AND
 AROUND THE CITY HALL.

Important Sessions of the Police Commis.
 sioners. Board of Public Works and Com
 nittees on Streets, Sewers and ordi. nances.
 The meeting of the police eommis. sioners. which was to have been held Tuesday night. but was not owing to the lack Of sufficient members to make a quorum. was held last evening and several matters of interest 10 the de- partment and to individual officers were transacted. Commissioner Prince presided and there were present also Commissioners Clancy. Gilhuly and Toronto.
 A communication was read from Treasurer Farnam of Yale college. in which was enclosed check of $50 with a request that 1t be divided among the officers that did duty at the Yale cam pus during commencement week. The matter was referred to the superin- tendent with power to act. The officers referred to are Officers S. N. Smith, William Tighe, Jeremiah McGrath, J. H. Moore and William Curren.
 Officer Reilly Of the Grand avenue precinct appeared before the board and asked that he be allowed five days pay for time he was laid up in con- seQeunce of injuries received while in the pursuit of his duty @ short time ago. Pay was allowed him.
 The recent Morris Reilly escapade was revived by the appearance before the board of Officers McKeon and Hofr- man. who 1t will be remembered, had their clothes torn and their bodies bruised while attempting to arrest Reilly. Officer Hoffman's bill amounted to $l2, while Officer McKeon stated that Ss.l5 would cover all the damage done him. Hoffman, it will be remembered. was the officer that Reilly so vicfously attacked. The claims of both men were allowed.
 Officer William E. Doherty was given permission to spend his days from now until September 24 at woodmont. and Officer Taylor of the Dixwell ave- nue station was granted leave of ab- sence to go to England on August 24 and to return on or about November l. When Officer Taylor's request was made Commissioner Gilhuly signifi- cantly remarked that by granting the request the payroll would be helped out. At present the board is several hundred dollars in arrears on the pay roll.
 A petition was then read asking that patrolman be permanently detailed at Starin's dock. The commissioners. however. could not see the necessity of so doing and consequently laid the matter on the table.

Edgewood Street Railroad.

The construction of the Edgewood avenue railroad has been delayed on &C., count of the inability of the company to get rails, The coke strike caused n dearth of this fuel at tho iron works. and the rails could not be furnished.
 The company recently made arrange mcnts with the Dixwell avenue rail- road so that as soon as their line Is iit- ted with electricity from York street to the green the Edgewood road will be able to carry passengers to Chapel and Church streets.
 The connections remaining 70 be riade are those on sherman avenue, between George street and Edgewood avenue, and the one from Edgewood avenue and Mott street out to Westville.

Committee on Streets.

I 'f ,,',r ",
 A meeting of the committee on streets of the court of common council was held last night. and the important question of replacing brick sidewalks with concrete or artificial stone cume up. The board immediately went into exec utive session. and the 2lO complaints against defective sidewalks were con- sidered. The complaints were classi- fled as follows: Some sidewalks were said to be all right. some fair, some bad, and some very bad. Action was taken which will compel property own CTS. whose complaints are considered as very bad ones. to relay their side walks before October l, 1894. This ac- tion, 1t is thought, will compel resi- dents on such streets as Howe and Park to relay their sidewalks with artificial stone, and those residing on such streets as Hamilton and Wallace, to relay their walks With concrete.
 Those walks which Were classified as bad it was voted should be relaid be- fore October l, while on the walks classed as fair and all right no ac- tion was taken, inasmuch as the com mittee deemed them not in need Of improvement at present.
 The old petition for the hardening of Ashmun street. which was presented before the one requesting that the thoroughfare be paved with vitrifed brick, was taken up and with very lit tie ceremony the petitioners were given leave to withdraw. The bicyclists, who petitioned that the space between double car tracks be paved with vit- ritied brick or asphalt, were also given leave to withdraw.

Barbers and Sunday Closing.

l The ordinance committee composed of
 Aldermen Connor and Wright and
 Councilman Dewell held a lively meet ing in the city hall last night, that was
 in some respects rather "barbaric." The
 The matter considered was the Sunday
 closing of barber shops. There were present about fifteen tonsorial Artists, and most of them had something to say in favor of the petition. After the committee had listened to their verbal music for about two hours it decided that the petitioners be given leave to withdraw. After this decision the knights of the razor and scissors brigade were much chagrined.
 Attorney Bishop appeared for tn, Lar- bers and read a lengthy petition signed by 145 citizens and twenty-six boss bar bers asking that the petition be favcr- ably received.
 Mayor Sargent was also pres 1t with two law books from which he endeav. ored to instruct the members of the committee as to what power they had to make such ordinance. He laid parti- cular stress on a clause to the effect that no discriminating laws should be passed that would tend to place e bur den on one set of business men and not on another. ...
 Alderman A.. Maxcy Hitler said that in Boston the authorities had tried to force the candy and soda water places to close on Sunday and had failed. Alt torney Bishop stated that all laws should be enforced. On being asked by Mayor Sargent whether or not the law which states that a-man be fined S4 for listening to a concert on Sunday was enforced Attorney Bishop replied that laws that were obnoxious should be withdrawn. --.-.-. ..-...--.,- ....
 President Joseph Haury of the Bar bers' Protective association, stated that everyone of the associations were in fa- vor of Sunday closing. Upon being asked by Alderman Connor if all busi- ness could be done on Saturday night he remarked that 1t certainly could. Councilman Dewell asked how 1t was that only twenty-five bosses out of 150 in the city had signed the petition. MT. Haury stated that great many bar bers had told him that while they did not care to sign the petition they did not oppose 1t. Barber Bassimiers at State and George streets; Barber Schultz, and Barber Cohen of Ss Church street spoke in favor of the petition. MT. Cohen saying that. he was sure that shops on the outskirts of the city, would be willing to close

BIGGER THAN EVER BEFORE.

The India street office of the State Fair
was evacuated this morning and business
operations were transferred to Narragan-
sett Park. The Associations clerks are
just at present busily engaged in attend
ing to the entries, which are coming in
faster than ever before. Each department
this year is expected to contain a more
extensive exhibit than in years past.
For instance, the Merchants Dis
play" building will be crowded
as it has never been before.
Merchants of this city who in previous
years used only a small space for their ex-
hibits have spoken for twice and three
times as much this year. Superintendent
Copeland says that nearly every foot Of
floor in the building has been sold.
The management have decided to give
special attention this year to the school
department, information which doubt
less will prove highly gratifying to
parents and the public generally.
The space given last year to the food and
health exhibit will this year be allotted to
the educational department. The pro-
ducts of the students at the Manual Train
ing High School, will pe among the chief
features OF interest. They will afford the
people OF the State an opportunity to
Judge for themselves the amount OF good
that is being accomplished at the young
and prosperous Providence institution.

ONLY A BLUFF.
The Whiskey Trust Never Really At
tempted to Secure a Big Loan.
8y The Associated Press.

81 The Associated Pres.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.--The Herald says thi.
morning: No one in Chicago believed las
night that the Distillers ever made seri-
Gus attempt to borrow 100000 The
traders who are now in a position to
understand the various moves made by
those who were manipulating the market
think the whole story of the big loan was
cooked up to give somebody achance to
milk the street. They say it is absurd to
suppose the loan could not have been made
on the security offered. Advices from
Peoria last night confirmed this opinion
and convinced traders that the large
quantities of whiskey had been aiken from
bond at the old revenue for personal
account as much in fact as the distillers
would have taken out themselves had they
got Mr. sage's money. The revenue collec-
tions at Peoria yesterday were s927, ,69s,
which broke all records. Money kept
coming in all day from mysterious sources
to 10 used in getting whiskey from
bond. Orcers were received. by
the company for s1,175,00O worth OF
goods. IL filed what it pleased and let
the rest go. Ever since the tariff bin
passed, Whiskey has been taken from
bond at the old tax rate in q rather
mysterious way.
Now that it is all over the discovery is
made that the Peoria houses have only
2,SoO, 900 gallons left on which tax has not
been paid. Why they should be making
such heroic efforts to raise 5000, 900 to
take that out when only s2,5OO,OO0 would
be required, is something nobody but out
siders can explain. The total collections
at Peoria since the tariff bill passed aggre.
gates S4,31s,7fs. 1t is known that nearly
2,5o0,0oO gallons OF goods have been taken
out, most of it during the last week, and
the supposition is that several heavy ope-
rators cornered that amount on their own
responsibility.

ON A SAND BAR.
The Big Providence Liner
Connecticut Is Ashore.
Ran Into the Sand OFF Fields Point
in Thick Fog This Morning.

The palatial steamer Connecticut
captain Williamson, OF the Providence
line, lies In an eaSy position on The
sands on Fields Point, having gone ashore
this morning in dense fog at about 5 &c
O'Clock. She will come off wit thout injury
at high tide late this afternoon.
Ihe Connecticut came up the river
pretty nearly on time through one OF the
densest fogs ever encountered and when
nearing the city slowed down until barely
headway was kept, and blew her whsle
long and continuously, with Pilot George
Rowland and Captain Williamson both
peering out OF the pilot house window.
THE NEWS marine representative, ac-
companied by Mr.. Joseph Sweet, put out
from Kettle Point in a boat TO the light
on Fuller's rock, and as the fog lifted
hailed Captain Williamson and informed
him OF his exact location.
lie thanked them and proceeded slowly
up by the light and almost disappeared in
the fog, when he began TO back water and
came down by the light again, his reason
being that on the starboard side
OF the channel the bottom is
rocky and dangerous, while on the
port side the shore was sandy, and he
feared that the tide had swung him too
far over TO starboard. He then started
up agssEi, after getting his bearings, and
few moments later the great steamer
slid quietly upon the sand bar near Fields
Point and stuck hard and fast aground,
So easily did she take bottom that none
OF her 175 passengers knew of the acci-
dent, there not being even a perceptibe
jar. The great wheels revolved, but could
not move her.
THE News representative and Mr.
Sweet then rowed down river and nailed
the tug Charles McWilliams, which was
lying at anchor with barges in tow, and
she promptly came up alongside the Con-
necticut and took a hawser.
The big whistle blew the distress signal,
five long blasts, and the tugs Reliance
and Walter l.. Sutton came down to help
her.
Hawsers were made fast to all three tugs
and the big wheels of the steamer revolyed
while the tugs puffed and puffed, but to
no purpose. Hawsers snapped and broke
under the fearful tension, and it was final
ly seen that she was on the bar to stay
until the next high tide.
The trunks OF the passengers were taken
off on a tugboat and the freight by the
William Marvel and lighter.
The passengers were brought to the city
on the steamer What Cheer, on her way
mp op her first trip, and were landed at
the New York dock.
This is the first time that an accident
has ever happened To Captain Williamson
and Pilot Rowland, and this was through
no fault Of theirs.
No one was at all alarmed, and there
was not the slightest con fusion.
She careened over to starboard as the
tide left her, and her freight will be taken
oh by lighters. She will come off readily
NJ high tide late this afternoon and has
received no injury.
As the fog drifted away the boat was the
object OF interest to passengers on the
Warren & Bristol road, as well as to the
hundreds who came to the city by the |
line vessels.

Bureau today is authority for the state
ment that the Bay State, Brookline and

Addicks and other interests have agreed
he should have it. lie and his friends are
to have &c, 900 shares OF Bay State stock at
an average OF sl5. They agreed to supply
it and take the chance in the market,
hence the action OF the stock in the mar
ket the past ten days.

WILL ERECT MEMORIAL.
The Second X. 4. Regiment TO Mark
Its Position on July 4, 1868.

Ihe second TX. i. Regiment TO Mark
Its Position ON July 4, 1868.
The Second Rhode Island Regiment has
voted an appropriation of 800 for the
erection OF a suitable memorial to mark
the spot where the command threw out a
skirmish line on the morning of July 4,
1868, on the Emmetsburg pike near the
battlefield of Gettysburg. General
H. ii. Rhodes was appointed q committee
to select the marker, and to see that it
was suitably inscribed and properly To-
Gated. General Rhodes has obtained a
satisfactory design executed by Alfred
Coombs of the Westerly Granite Com
pany. 1t consists of block of granite,
rough hammered, 30x1s inches, with a
polished slanting top. This will bear the
inscription, "Skirmish Line, 2d r. /. In
fantry, Colonel Horatio Rogers, ,Jr., I'd Bri-
gade, Sd Division, 9th Corps, July 4, 1863"
In the front of the base the insigni OF the
9th Corps will be cut in the form OF a
Greek cross.
The regiment has already erected a
handsome granite monument at Little
Round Top, costing $1,000, half of which
sgm was contributed by the State and the
other half by the regiment. Early on the
morning of July 4, 1863, they were ordered
to establish a skirmish line in the pike
near Cadoris' barn, and they were en-
trenched the greater part OF the day en-
gagged inthe hazardous task of reducing the
body of sharpshooters which were disput-
ing their advance. The Second Regiment
was brigaded with the Seventh, Tenth
and Thirty Seventh Massachusetts, Regi-
ments at this time in the Third Division
of the Sixth Army Corps, and they
performed valuable service as
the annals of the rebellion disclose. Cen
eral Rhodes is chairman Of the State Antie-
tam Board, which is to visit the battle
field at Antietam and mark the spot
where the Rhode Island batteries and reg
iments participated in the conflict. The
board expect to start for the field about
Oct. !, and it is the purpose OF General
Rhodes to superintend the location OF the
memorial while in that vicinity.
