THOSE CHANGES.
Defects I'm the Building Laws Which
Resulted i'm Amendments.

The object of the amendments to the
building law introduced yesterday in the
Legislature is that several defects in
the present law may be remedied and
new conditions resulting from the
growth of the city better pro-
vided for. For instance, IL the
amendments become law there will be
but two building districts in the city
of Providence, instead OF three. The
first or close district i'm the heart of the
city will be left as il is, and all the
rest will constitute one district governed
by the same rules and no building may be
erected within five feet OF another wall
or property line unless IL has fire
protection walls. The city shall have
power by ordinance to change at any
time the limits of the first district
and in the first district
the rules relating to wooden buildings
are more stringent. At present
wooden building 30 feet high
and with an area of $500 feet may be
erected. The proposed limitation IL IS feet
for height and 1000 square feet for area.

DEmOcRAcY's TRICK.
VIII Not Keep the Republican Mem
bcrs of the Assembly From Newport.

bcTS VI INC <AsscHDty rTohu NcWPoHe
The Republican members of the House of
Representatives have not been thrown
into any state of CONSERVATION by the
OF the Rumps :" to keep the
House in session until Tuesday, the
day Of the Inauguration of the State Gov
ernment. They are fully aware that the
revolutionists are capable OF violating any
provision OF the Constitution, the
law, or parliamentary authority In the
ssSs%es snd thsy win 'nf not s'a1 Bs sur
prised II an adjournment is taken
from Friday to Monday and
a special effort made to repeat the expert
ment of Monday last by the locking OF the
door and service of warrants. The men,
bers-clect Of tho incoming Assembly
invariably take the A o'clock boat for
Newport Monday afternoon, and the De-
mocracy may justify their action by
reference to the fact that their term
of office Goes not expire until
Tuesday forenoon. Under the constitu-
tion the Senate cannot adjourn sine die
without the consent of the other branch,
nor for more than two days. The Senate
will probably adjourn from Friday to
Monday, when of course, there will be
no quorum, and then simple
adjournment will be taken which
i'm effect is a dissolution of the body. AS
the scheme has been given publicity, it is
more than likely that the minority will
take steps TO avoid Imprisonment
byplacing themselves beyond the reach OF
the shcriff's deputies. There are earlier
means Of transportation to the summer
capital than the afternoon boat, and
having fled out OF the county in which
Sheriff White has Jurisdiction,
they are not likely TO be dis
turbed. Joe Mullen is likely to be the
chief victim of this post-mortem proceed
ing, and when the chamber has been
finally deserted by the gang he will offer
up choice paean OF thanksgiving.

THE ROPE BROKE.
Painters Hurled to the Ground
and Badly Hurt.

James O'Neil and Abraham Dorr, paint
ers employed by r. Ii. Ryan, were hurled
from staging while at work on the house
ODD Potter's avenue this morning, and
were severely injured. The men
started to work at 8 o'clock, and
were upon a staging about twenty-fiv
feet above the ground. Suddenly there
was a sharp snap, and instantly one end
OF the staging fell, precipitating both men
to the ground. Dorr chaDced to alight
on his feet and hands and was
not badly injured, but O'Neil struck upon
his back on some debris. He was uncon-
scious when picked up by fellow work
men. The ambulance was summoned and
convened him TO the hospital where il
was found that he had sustained
severe injury to his spine. The injuries
are OF such character as to render his
condition critical. O'Neil lives at o Rug
giles street and Dorr at % Joslin street.

STOP IT !

In another column appears a notice
signed by number of the candidates
protesting against a list OF appointments
sent out last week for speaking before
the primary. The appointments were
gotten up without the knowledge OF the
candidates and number of them do not
give it their sanction. The gentleman
who made out the list and sent them
abroad, did a thing that the people nor
the party will at this time hardly APP
prove. 1t has never been the custom
Of the candidates for county offices here
TO make a list OF appointments TO speak
before primary election, and it is not
probable that there will be a deviation
from the rule in the present instance
OF course the right of free speech is
denied to no one, but in an organization
like the Democratic party, the members
OF which are supposed to be governed by
rules customs and regulations, adopted
practically for the best interest OF the
cause, there should be a concert of act
ion by all, else we may go down in de-
feat. Speech making at this time is not
considered practicable, il so the subject
would doubtless have been discussed
among the candidates earlier in the
action. Such course among the friends
Of the party only serves to bring about
great deal of disorder and contention
that is not easily gotten over. The Gross
Richardson contest last fall is pretty
fair sample of what too much speaking
brings on before a primary. The can
didates really have but little to speak
about and our opinion is that this matter
should be nipped in the bud, and the
bulk Of the fire reserved for the enemy.
The News in expressing this opinion
does 80 for the good of the party at large
and not to CRAFTY the notions OF any par
ticular candidate. Those gentlemen are
able TO look after themselves, but let us
maintain the success Of our party at all
hazards. Give US quiet canvass.
