How Yesterday Was Passed at the
Various Shore Resorts.

II was an ideal Sunday for outdoor re-
creation yesterday, and tho shore resorts,
the parks, the bay, the Pawtuxet and tho
drives In and about the city presented all
which mark the midsummer season. The
Continental steamers made hourly trips
TO Fields Point, Silver Spring, Pleasant
BLUM and Crescent Park and shore dinners
were served by Managers Atwells, Max
field, Cranston and Boyden from
noon. AT Silver Spring the SON
OF old King Hiram had his prelimi-
mary opening, and he has renovated and
introduced improvements at the resort
which are calculated TO maintain its pop
ularity and attractiveness. The cottage
the indications point to prosperous
season. ~
At Pleasant Bluff Manager Cranston
catered to some 800 visitors. During the
afternoon the big vernndah in front OF
the hotel was favorite resort, and the
cooling breezes tempted hundreds to
linger until nightfalI.
Roger Williams Park and Cable Cottage
claimed their share OF the public patron
age, and boating parties made merry on
the Pawtuxet. Members OF the Rhode
Island and Corinthian yacht clubs
engaged in friendly competition in their
swift sailing pleasure craft, tho
vessels. The livery stable keepers did
thriving business, and scores OF bicyclists
OF both sexes were seen upon the highways
engaged in healthful and exhiiarating ex
ercise. The tautog fishing season is on
and some large stories are current today
Nayatt Point. The prevalence OF such
delightful weather win give an impetus TO
the engagement of seaside cottages.
The demand Is uncommonly active
at present, and the prices are substan-
italy the same as year ago, There are
comparatively few available locations on
the east shore from Riverside to Bullock 3
Point and by the first OF June 1t IL antici-
patcd that the season will be in full blast.
"They cleaned mo ont completely in the
dining halls and restaurants before the
middle OF the afternoon" was Manager
Boyden's summary OF the day agreeable
experience at Crescent Park. Nearly 20JO
excursionists moved 10 and fro about the
grounds and II was an orderly and we'll
behaved gathering. The steamers and
the electric cars and private carriages
swslled the population attimeiy intervals,
and Mr.. Boyden will proceed to open the
dining halls in anticipation of an early
for transportation by land and sea.
Five hundred or more persons visited
Fields Point yesterday, where an excel
lent dinner was served. Many important
additions have been made at this popular
resort, the more prominent ones being an
immense kitchen, with all modern inn
provements for making chowders and
other work. There are also several private
dining rooms where parties OF four or
more can sit and enjoy a dinner opposite
the main dining hall. Colonel Atwell

JUSTICE CREEPS.
The Benson Case i'm the
Appeals Court.
Indicted Seven Years Ago for Con-
spring to Defraud the Govern
ment-False Surveys.

The half-forgotten Benson case came to
the surface yesterday 10 the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. The day had
been set for arguments by counsel for the
United States, but they decided to submit
briefs, and nothing now remains but the
decision of the court, which may not be
reached for several months.
Benson was indicted and imprisoned for
conspiracy to defraud the Government on
Novem Der 26, 1887. The indictment was
presented by Grand Jury of the United
States Circuit Court, which alleged in the
first count that John A. Benson and Nj.
f. Reilly of this city had conspired viii
othe persons on December IL, 1884. to de-
fraud the United States OF the sum of
$2500. 1t was ayeIred that Benson and
Reilly knew that contract had been en-
tered into between Deputy Surveyor FitZ-
patrick and the United States Surveyor
General for California TO survey and
establish ed certain townships and sub
division lines, and that Benson and
Reilly knew the terms of that contract. 1t
was stipulated in the agreement between
Fitzpatrick and the Surveyor-Geperalt tia
the surveys should not commence until a
certain time, and that no accounts should
be paid for them unless certified to by w.
II. Brown, who was then the Surveyor
General. The contract was approved by
the Commissioner of the Land Office.
Benson. knowing the terms of the con-
tract and in pursuance of the conspiracy,
had a fictitious and fraudulent survey
made of the lands, which was presented
to the Survey or General as FitZpatTick's
work. False and fictitious field notes were
presented with the survey. and the Sur
veyor-Genera, according to the indict-
ment, was asked 10 pay for the work.
Benson, while the Indictment was pend
ing, petitioned the court for a writ of
babeas corpus, alleging that he was re-
strained of his liberty by the United States
Marshal. He conteDded that he was NOT
charged in the indictment with any crimes
against the laws Of the United States and
Tor that reason no court had any jurisdic-
tlon to hear or determine the matter set
forth against him. lie also contended that
the Indictment was not returned or fled in
any court of the United States, as the
Circuit Court OF the United States for the
district OF California had been abolished
by law prior to the return or filing of the
indictment.
C. Il. Hanford. who was sitting as
Circuit Judge, heard Benson's petition and
discharged him from custody. The Gov
ernment promptly gave notice of appeal
from his decision and in the brief filed
Yesterday, one year after the prisoner was
released, gave bis reasons for demanding
reversal of Judge Hanford's decree.
