BRIEF LOCALS.

Mr.. +. p. Owen was in no senses ituated
week ago yesterday.
About Is feet of the fence on Block
street, owned by the New York, New
Haven q Hartford railroad has been
taken away.
At p. m. yesterday horse attached to
Charles Greene's express wagon ran away
on Mulvey avenue. The horse was stopped
on Cemetery street by John Metcalf.
There was but one arraignment in the
Sixth District Court today. Emma
Skuse, common drunkard, was sentenced
to six months at the State Workhouse.
The Charity Building, North Court
street, was at one time the residence OF
Samuel w. Bridgham, the first Mayor of
Providence. Bridg ham street was named
after him. In those days, 1892 1910, the
name was always pronounced Briggam.
The Crawford street cadet corp, under
command of Colonel Rourke, is being
augmented daily by recruits
for Coxey's Army. BY order
of the commissary each recruit is required
to provide himself with Block Island
turkey" and half pint of alcohol be-
fore receiving his commission.
Mrs. Annie G.. Lindsay of Albro street,
has just returned home after an enjoyable
visit of five weeks spent in Lowell, Mass,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Mosely friends of hers
who formerly resided in this city. Mrs.
Lindsay thinks the "spindle" city is all
right, but prefers Providence, and she
does not see many alterations since she
left here.
The tearing down of Butler row on
Westminster street recalls several in
teresting incidents of Providence his
tory of so years ago. 1t was in
the back part of this building that DIR.
Benjamin Dyer had his medicine shopand
laboratory, where a stolen body was dis
sected by students, the operation result
ing in the famous legal scandal of Cover
nor Fenner and Judge Dorrance. Another
story told about the old physician Is
that he firmly believed that he had
discovered the real elixir OF life in moth
more mysterious than currant wine. Ac-
cordingly he filed in many acres OF
the mud flats along Eddy street
this side OF Ship and planted
currants with the expectation of ofproducing
wine for The whole country. But he pro-
duced too much and when his neighbors
got tired OF storing the elixir for the
doctor in their cellars the scheme was
given up.

Issuing Licenses.

The License Commissioners have begun
the ssue of licenses for the year ensuing
May /. Nearly one hundred have been
granted, of w hich some thirty have been
issued. The alterations required are being
made slowly, but nearly all dealers
have expressed willingness to
comply with the request of the commits
sioners respecting these changes, all of
which were recommended by the commits
sioners as the result of personal inspec-
lice captain assisted in the inspection of
all the places in his district. Applications
are not considered until reports are re-
ceived from the police department. that the
shops are arranged as recommended by
the Board. 1t is probable that all those
shops which do not display a license
therein on the 1st day OF May will be
ordered to close.

Factory Inspectors Bill.

fore the Senate committee on special leg
islation on the Factory Inspectors
bill. Mr.. Charles Merriman addressed the
committee and pointed out the many abb
surdities which ornament the bill
introduced by DIR. Garvin. One of
these startling provisions called for
by the Doctors pamphlet is
to the effect that the
inspectors shall enforce all the laws
of the State which would of
course do away with the neces-
sity of sheriffs and all other officers.
There Is not much doubt but what a
factory inspection law will be made, but
it is very apt to be q reasonable one.

LATEST
Theory That He Wants to
Lead a New Party.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Democratic
discord could not be greater than
it mas been since the delivery OF Sena-
tor Hills speech. The theory OF new
Cleveland party is matched by another as
to the intentions of Mr.. Hill, concerning
which that gentleman maintains the most
nrofound silence. This theory Is
that Hill regards the Democratic
party, as national organization, as
absolutely wrecked. This theory
credits Mr.. Hill with the design OF
raising his own peculiar gonfalon, in
scribed with the somewhat trite mottol ~
am a Democrat" in the hope oil raiIylng
about his personal captaincy all the re-
manning fragments OF the Democratic
party.
With these he proposes, according TO
this theory, TO weld the Populist element
by proclaiming as one of the CHIEF tenets
of his creed, the recognition OF silver as
money metal, and the extension oil bimet-
allism TO all the republics ofthe American
continent and the maintenance OF rea-
sonably protective tariff.

GEARYS RED HOT TALK
Ha Attacked Leland S.aaioTd's Memory
Most YlCl0u;ly.
SPOKE OF CRIME AND THEFT
The California Congressman Made
Most Sensational Assault
Upon the Founder OF the
Great University.

WASHINGTON, June li.-Before the
house committee on Pacific railroads to-
day Representative Geary argued strongly
that the act creating the Central Pacific
railroad contemplates that the govern
mcnt take possession if there be default
in the payments. Heretofore the COM
pany has never been in a position to pro-
ceed against the dishonest directors but IL
the government took possession it might
reach back 10 lsG2, recover all the money
diverted through the construction COM
pany or otherwise, returning II to
the public treasury.
II do not know" said Geary, "why wo
should put poor old Coxey who trod on
three or four blades Of grass. in Jail
and let go another criminal be-
cause OF the enormity Of his offense.
who iilcEes millions, and then defend him
because. in his last moments he erected
with his money and the pepole's money,
university.
I'VE of California are proud OF that uni
yersity, but ashamed of the motives that
built 1t. IL was erected from motives of
revenge TO destroy another university boz
cause the graduates refused to make the
founder q trustee. Would you wink at tho
crime through which that institution
was erected? No respect for men living
or dead should blind US into leaving q
monument to criminals that should be
monument to the people,"
Would you have tho government con-
troll this railroad or all roads?" inquired
member.
This railroad first, all roads after
wards" replied Genry.
Representative Mcguire stated he was
opposed to any OF the funding measures
providing for an extension of the period
for the payment OF tho Pacific debt.
BoIincr inquired IL Maglire did not
view this as an opportunity TO experiment.
on the government control of railroads?
Mcguire answered that he regarded il
as an opportunity TO settle the whole rail-
road question. lie could sec no reason
why the government should give up q
chance OF recovery of S3O,OO0,eO of the
Stanford estate aud Huntington property
because tho Hopkins and Crocxer estates
had been settled. The effect
OF the funding bill would DO
/ TO postpone tho foreclosure or proceed
| iurs against the stockholders until the ex-
p.ration Of the funding period. Maguire's
I proposition was THAT the government
I should secure the appointment OF n ma
| joriiy of the directors of the Central Pa
ctic. who should institute suits to secure
! the diverted funds. In conclusion he adj
| vocated the necessity of legislation to
suspend the patenting of the Pacific land
grants, for which he had introduced n
resolution jointly with Senator White.

RUSHING IT THROUGH.
Tho Senate Disposed of Lot Of the Tariff
Bill Yesterday


WASHINGTON, June ll.-By agreement
reached Saturday, the wine and spirits
schedule was considered under the five
minute rule in the senate to-day. Allison's
amendment TO increase tho rate on brandy
and other spirits distilled from grain from
Sl.s0 per gallon 10 $3.50, the present rate,
was first taken up. sherman and Allison
supported the amendment; Jones op-
posed 1t.
The wine and spirits schedule was
adopted, practically without change from
tho compromise plan, aud the cotton
schedule iakcn up.
The senate completed the cotton sched.
ule at . o'clock. Dolph made vigorous
attack upon the mauner in which it had
been rushed through, 10 pages being dis
posed of in 30 minutes.
Tho FAX, hemp aud iute schedules were
then proceeded with in a manner that in
dicatcd that wool and woolens would hc
reached tins afternoon or tomorrow.
Morrill, was granted the privilege Of adj
dressing the senate ia support of his
amendment TO the naval appropriation
bill authorizing the appointment of q SUI
pcrintendent of the United States naval
observatory from civil life at salary Of
$4,000, and providing for the reorganill-
ton OF the observatory.
Quay rose to n question Of privilege and
sent to the clerks desk what he character
lied tho Lying statement for which soma
tor Chandler is given as authority II
proved Ia be a Washington dispatch to n
New York paper and alleged that Phila-
delphia syndicate IN which Quay was an ac-
tive agent, "was seeking to get control of
the surface roads OF Washington through
congressional legislation Tho dispatch
stated the scheme was as malodorous as
the sugar trust scandal.
The statement contained in the article,
Quay said. was absolutely false. The
facts were that certain citizens of Phill-
delphia had corporate interests in certain
railroads in the District of Columbia
and were seeking the enlargement o! the
scope of their franchises. Az the request
of Thomas Dolan he introduced the Phill-
delphia gentleman to Mcmillan and
Faulkner Of the District Of Columbia COM
mittee so they could present their case.
Last Friday. being informed the bill al-
fecting the Interests Of this corporation
would be under consideration, in the
house to-day lac asked some members of
the delegation from Pennsylvania TO be
present to help constitute a quorum. THIS
was the extent OF his connection with the
matter.
Quay said he departed from bis custom
Of treating with silent contempt the
1000 newspaper lies about bin because
! IN this case they were evidently written
for the purpose Of affecting legislation,
| and because Chandler was gwen as al.
! ihority for the statement contained
| therein.
Chandler said he had heard Of this syn
dicate, perhaps. aud had discussed the
matter with the newspaper men, but he
