A very interesting game Of foot ball
took place here on Saturday between a
team composed of players from the
different teams of Shenandoah and our
home team. The home team was badly
crippled for want Of players as seven Of
the regulars could not play. Notwith.
standing this u team was picked, some of
whom never pl tyed foot ball before, and
they defeated their opponents by score
OF TO o. The game was interesting
throughout, some very pretty plays being
made on both sides Reese and Mcclure
made brilliant runs, the former scoring a
touchdown after run of twenty-five
yards, and the latter carried the ball for
fifty yards before he could be stopped.
The playing Of Fortner and Ryan and the
kicking done by Carr were remarkable.
Fortner succeeded in making some Of the
best tackles made on the home grounds
this sea .on. Corrigan, r. Mckinley and
A. Mckinley, the three new men who
played with the team, deserve credit for
the manner in which they played and our
boys are thankful to them for the help
they rendered. On behalf of Shenandoah
il must be said that they all played well
and conducted themselves as gentlemen.
For them Dougherty did the best work.
His punting and sprinting did much to
ward keeping the score as low as it was.
The teams lined up as follows:

THE POLICEMEN'S HANDlCAPS.

One of the beat known officials con-

that the City of Providence is 100 years
behind the times in ts criminal laws, and
the laws now In force seem to be
more to protect the citizen from
the police than otherwise, for 1t
is not an uncommon sight to see
we'll known criminals walk out of the
court rooms free on echnioslity. "For," /"
said the efficial, "but q few days ago four
men were discharged in the Sixth District
Court who were charged with breaking
and entering Q building in the city. The
warrant was made out saying that the

STEAMBOAT FIRE DRILL.

On ell steam boats that carry passengers
1t Is the duty of the captain, required by
the laws of the United States, TO have at
least once week fire drill, so that in
csse OF fire the crew msy be familiar with
the portion of the work that is expected
of them. On nearly all steamers, = regu.
lar hour on certain day OF the week is
set apart for this, and il is an interesting
sight, especially on the large steamers.
Csptsin Kelly OF the steamer City OF
Newport 10 one of the few captains who
lives up to the letter of tne tnw for when
the crew are busily engaged in unloading
or loading the steamer he will send in an
alarm Of firs. Then there's rush, for the
men do not know at the the time whether
the alarm il for practice or for actual SER
vice. Each man has aparticular duty to
perform and the arrangements are such
that the work of one may not hinder the
remainder OF the crew. On the Newport
hot water is used in cess Of fire, and the
engineer Will, at the time required, tur n
on the water, and woe be TO the poor
fellow who holds the pipe IL he is not
ready, but he has no one TO blame but
himself, for it is his duty TO see that the
line is always in working order. Al the
last drill, water was turned on and good
stream was being thrown over the
steamer In less than one minute, and
just before that the crew were scattered
about the steamer and dock. Captain
Kelley Is always chief OF the fire depart
ment on these occasions, and prides him
self on having one OF the best steamboat
ire brigsdes in New England.

BALANCE WEIGHT.
Something About the One for College
Mil Electric Cars.

Considerable interest has been mani
| tested in the operations OF the union
Railway Company for equipping their
| College street line with the necessary ap-
paratus for running cars up the hill by
electricity in accordance with the permls-
sion granted them by the City Council
recently.
The grade on College street is SO steep
that sonnet hing beside the usual motive
power Is required to assist heavy cars,
laden with passengers, TO the top OF the
hill, so balance or counter weight viii
be used.
This weight plan Is not new to the
world, and has been in operation In
Seattle, Wash, for several years, and IL
generally adopted in eastern Pennsyl-
vsnia.
In the mou ountainous districts Of some
countries the cara are used to counter
balance each other, one going up hill as
another goes down, both connected by an
endless rope or cable.
The plan adopted in Providence Is es-
sentislly the same, only the weight takes
the place of one Of the cars. A conduit
has been built at the side OF the street In
which rails were laid Q bout two feet apart.
On these rails run two csst-iron trucks TO
transport the neavy Welgnty tWo huSA'
being better than one long one
because they readily conform to
the various slight changes in grade to be
encountered; they are more flexible, 80 to
speak.
At the bottom Of the hill IL large iron
air cushion, to act as q buffer TO the
weight. An endless cable connects with
the trucks and passes over large wheel
at the end of the air cushion and two
smaller wheels at the top of the hill.
This cable runs under the middle Of the
car track and has clutch, or coupling,
sticking up with which tho car connects.
In going up the hill the car clutches
the cable and starts the weight on q
downward trip and this weight, weigh
ing about as much ~ one car with an
average load, renders material aid, as will
be seen. Any extra burden is easily taken
care OF by the electricity.
Coming down hill the car clutches the
cal and with the expenditure OF a little
electric current, draws the weight TO the
top.
OF course for dou BILE track two weights
and two coLduits are necessary, but 1t Is
the intention Of the company TO use but
one track for the trolley system this win
ter and the word on that is being rapidly
pushed to completion.
