SOME VERY QUEER FACTS.
A Workman Steals SO and Skips-
To-night's Polo Game-Notes.

The trial OF James Browning In the
District Court here yesterday, charged
with being connected with the murderous
assault at Evans grocery last September,
and also so closely connecting him with
the notorious gang of desperadoes, was
by no means such farce as was the
work recently done by Constable Sher-
man in the arrest OF O'Neill and McNulty,
who, according to the evidence of Albert
Harvey, were implicated in the Pontiac
affair; and,Harvey give as his authority
the statements made to him by Browning,
and which the latter denied. IL is a bona
fide fact that the one given the credit as
being the leader, Crowley, is now doing
a sentence of Is years; while Murtha and
Browning are each under 5000 bonds
and at Cranston awaiting the action of
the grand jury next month. The last two
were arrested through the work of the
regular district police and Captain
Goldsmith was the complainant. Three
Of this gang are cared for at the pres
ent while the others who dealt with
Constable Sherman enjoy their freedom.
Goldsmith bagged his game, while the
constab bic allowed his to fly, after placing
them under arrest. Whether aci uated by
the desire for the reward or notoriety, he
in the eyes OF those best informed OF the
facts, "threw the district police
down." SO to speak, and with what knowl-
edge he procured in the majority ii is
claimed from police headquarters, took
up the case himself, which was a bomb
to the captain and Others when the
first man was arrested and locked up at
the local police station. ANY police con-
l. A,. II. IT.
to lock prisoner up at the local police
station, and Captain Goldsmith is not re-
sponsible. The work OF the constable is
still a subject for discussion by taxpayers
who are anxious To rid the place of such
gang. Sheriff Wall was a much surprised
man when he arrived here with Fish and
son to learn that the work had been per-
formed by Others than the regular police,
and he was with Constable Sherman when
the pair referred to were released from
their cells and departed.
A we'll known town oihcial said yester-
| day "Some OF these police constables
wero too premature, and acted simply
for the nightly dollar. They should be
checked by those under whose direc-
tions they are sewing. Some OF them
have been known TO remain out half OF
the night for the sole purpose of "run-
ming In" some one so as to make a dollar.
These specials get all OF the "fat" when
they make an arrest while the town pays
the board OF the prisoners at the State
institutions just the same. IL takes but
a few OF these JOBS to amount to fair
weeks pay"
Looking for Nine Dollars.
Saturday night last number OF the
men employed on No. shaft of the Cen
tral avenue sewer were laid of. Several
will remain with the expectancy that they
may resume work, and among those who
departed was young man who stole 80
from a roommate before he left. AT
noontime the loser, not finding the thief,
started on foot TO- Worcester, where he
belongs.
Quiet Kitchen Dances.
Tuesday evening there were two
kitchen dances in the "Bowery" given
by the colored gentlemen who still re-
main employed at the big sewer, to their
departing friends. A jolly good time was
enjoyed and everything was quietly con-
Quoted.
