GuiIty---HeId for Jury.
Bail Fixed at $20,000---No Evidence
in Defence Put In at Richmond.

The afternoon session of the Richmond
court at Soituate, where Lawrence &.
Keegsn was given a preliminary hearing
ON the charge OF numbering Mrs. Emily
Chambers. was noted principally for the
introduction by the Government
OF witnesses who were posi-
tive in their identification OF
the accused and the horse and buggy with
which he was seen on that fatefui Thurs
day afternoon. So conclusive was that
evidence in the minds of Attorney Gen
eral Dubois and Town Solicitor Owen,
that no attempt was made to call the re-
mainder OF the 80 witnesses summoned by
the State.
Chief among the witnesses were Mrs.
Annie V. White of Providence, Nelson
Bennett of Johnston, Miss Fannie Oatley
OF the old Bank Village and Gilbert
Bishop of Scituste.
Mrs. White was a new witness, secured
by Detective Parker, and had known
Keegan by sight four or five years and
saw him drive past her house on Friend
ship street between and a o'clock in the
afternoon, accompanied by Q woman in
black.
She was positive as to time, place and
man.
Mr.. Bennett was satisfied as to the
horse and buggy aud identified Ksegan,
saying that he met him at 4:10 O'Clock
and noticed that he had gray eyes, al
though he could not describe his dress
with any degree of consistency.
Mr.. Bishop was very positive and Miss
Oatley was sure of everything, except
that the man she saw had black whiskers
or moust che. Henry Taylor was the last
witness called and he told about lending
his revolver to Keegan and the manner in
which it was returned. Judge Johnson
found Keegsn probably guilty and bound
him over to the grand jury, fixing bail at
$4,000.
Lawyer McGill, counsel for Keegan, said
TO THE NEWS reporter: 1--WE did not in
tend to put in any defence at this time,
but we will prove an alibi all right"

BURNED TODEATH
Four Children the Victims Of
Fire at Nyack.

NyACK, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Four gra2d-
children of Rev. William Taylor, Methol
dist missionary bishop of Africa, were
burned TO death in fire which destroyed
the residence of their father, Asv. Ross
Taylor, here early today.
Mrs. Taylor first discovered the fire and
told her husband, who investigated aud
found they were surrounded by flames.
They were almost blinded by the smoke,
which was growing denser every moment,
and they saw that all they could attempt
was to save themselves, and even thst
seemed impossible. At length, by
hard efforts, they reached the opsn
air and saw that the property must be
burned without any hope OF saving their
children whose escape and rescue was cut
off. Michael NJ. Mullaney, a laborer, and
two decorators named Edward Linra and
William Ruth, jumped from the third
story window and were badly hurt.
All three were seriously hurt and
were sent to Bellevue hospital, New
York. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor found
it impossible to save four OF
their children, Arthur, Harriet, Ada and
Schultz, sged respectively III, y, ana
years, who were on another floor. These
children perished, but two others, Sew
art and William, escaped by jumping
from an upper window. The bodies OF the
four children who were burned to death
were found at o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor are under the charge o. pi ysicians
and neither can be seen.
Rev. Ross Taylor is the son of the noted
Bishop Taylor, the distinguished mission
ary bishop to Africa of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
TIE origin of the fire is not known. The
funeral of the four children who were
burned TO death was held at st. Paurs M.
f. Church at IL o'clock this morning. Tho
four chsrred bodies were placed in one
casket.

BIG ENTERPRISE.
Beginning, Progress and
Present ! ate of the Work.

The filling-in of the cove basin begun in
the fall of 1883, and today the improvement
of the Cove lands. has reached an interest
ing point, and resume of the
work may be interesting. The work Of
filling-in and constructing the river
walls, in charge of Contractor j. j. Few
man, cost the city approximately 1891, 900
and employed 1900 cubic yards
OF gravel 10 replace the mud
taken from the cove and
800, 900 cubic yards of regular filling ma
terial. Many of the granite blocks
which confined the old cove were
utilized in the river walls.
The area filed in comprised about twen-
ty-nine acres. BY the general plan later
adopted by the City Government it was
voted TO extend Francis street across the
basin TO the junction OF Dorrance street,
nearly opposite the City Hall.
Promsnade street was TO be extended
from Gaspee TO Steeple streets and new
street laid out from Exchange place, in
front OF the proposed new passenger
Two short streets were called
for, one running south from
Francis to Gaspee streets and the other
northward from Promenade to Gaspee
streets. All the work of filling-in and
building the river walls
Was Completed in 1892.
Since that time the city has
built the Francis street bridge,
1900 square feet in area,
ou two grsnitn piers and a superstructure
of iron. The finishing touches Will
be applied to the bridge this
week. The railroad company has not
been idle and have built a new iron work
bridge over the Moshassuck river where
the present tracks cross, and have just
finished the iron work of tne Gaspee
street bridge.
The abutments aud iron work for the
Promlnade street Bridge, where the street
goes under the trac IS, are in place and the
peirs and abutments for the railroad bridge
over Francis street are practically
finished, although the iron work will not
be in place before spring.
Thee railroad company has made some
Alterations in the Plans
for the new passenger station, which has
been shortened To avoid extending over
Gaspee and Promenade streets.
