Work at the Sockanosset School a
Credit to the Boys.

Superintendent Murray OF the Socka-
nosset School for Boys was in town today
and gives an interesting accoun of the
work performed by the boys who are en-
gagged in the construction Of the indus
trial building which is TO be utilized in in
struction in the mechanical arts. The
dimensions of the building are 45xs5
feet, and two stories in height. The
lower story is to be OF brick and will
be used as a masonry and foundry.
The upper story will be of wood and
will be used as a drill hall. Operations
were commenced in May and q force
of 20 boys was employed under the super
vision of Messrs. French and Mumford.
Ten of them were instructed in setting
the foundation and brick laying, and the
others were used as mortar boys and
carriers. They were selected from the lads
who were advanced in their studies and
to whom the practical experience
would be invaluable. Their hours of labor
are from 7 to II and from j to 4, N
severa. of them nave displayed remarkable
aptitude and skill in the art of bricklay-
ing. One of the best worktfen has earned
his parole n discharge from the insti-
tuition, but at his earnest request
he has been allowed to remain.
The work has shown wonderful
improvement and is worthy OF critical ex-
animation. After the masonry has been
completed the boys viii proceed with the
carpenter work and interior f%inishings,
preliminary instruction in which was
given during the winter. Superintend-
ent Murray says that they are very indus
trious and enthusiasts and take great
pride in the erection of the building as a
monument TO their mechanical ability.
The foundation is being laid for the
new cottage, for which the General As
sembly voted au appropriation of $4,000
at its January session. Ii will be of the
same general type of architecture n
arrangement as the other pa
%vilions, though somewhat larger. II is In
tended to accommodate 10 TO 40 boys, n
they will be selected from the younger
element, as separation from the older boys
is regarded as more beneficial and salu-
tary. There are about 200 inmates at the
present time. Superintendent Murray has
been greatly amused over the reports OF his
intended resignation on the ground OF i'll.
health. He has not contemplated retire
f4eRt, and says that heisin good physical
condition. He Ia highly gratified at the
success OF the establishment of the mill
tary department, and says that its in
iuence in the promotion of discipline and
good department has been marked.

is imperative, as owing to the
o~ver-crowded condition OF this depart
ment it has been found necessary To put
three or four prisoners In one cell, and To
arrange cots in the corridors. Work will
be commenced in the fall, and will be
pushed forward as rapidly during the
winter as weather will permit.

TIRED OF LIFE.
Unsuccessful Business Ven
ture and Other Troubles.
Led George Salmon to End His Ex.
istence by InhaIing Of Gas Today.

George Salmon, a coppersmith, IS years
old, chose q unique method this forenoon
of ending his life that has been made
misera BILE by the combined results Of an
unsuccessful business enterprise and do
nestle unpleasantness.
About nine o'clock he went to his shop
rance street, and after locking the doors
attached q section Of rubber tubing to an
open gas jet and placed the other end in
his mouth. An hour and a half
later his dead body was found on
the floor by Martin Rylander, one OF his
employees. Two letters were found near
him, n to his wife at los Clifford street
and the other to his son George.
Salmon left homo last night, after
bidding everyone goodbye n
the first intimation which the wife had
of his whereabouts was when she got the
letter stating his intention to commit
suicide and why. Some three months ago
he opened a %stauran at the corner of
Westminster and Walker streets,
and placed his son in charge
OF 1t. On that venture he has lost
considerable money. Besides that the
woman who was his second wife kept a
boarding house at 105 Clifford street and
her husbands home there has not been q
comfortable one it is alleged.
The son, George Salmon, Jr., was over
come with grief when he saw his fathers
body and exclaimed sit was that restau-
rant and that wife,"
Officer Duffy sent for Medical Examiner
Palmer, and the usual formalities of the
law were gone through with.

WIFE WAS CUTE.
So She Trapped Salesman
Friedman Very Neatly.
He Had Deserted Her and Was Not
Worth Catching.

Harris Friedman, Q travelling salesman,
Is years old, was neatly trapped yesterday
by his wife whom he had deserted
q year ago In Williamsburg, New York,
leaving her and the three children almost
penniless. He carried away the proceeds
amounting to $500. The story OF bis
heartless desertion is of local interest.
Two months after he went away, Mrs.
Friedman learned that he was work
Ing as O clerk In a Westminster
street clothing store. The name Of the
hrm Is withheld out OF regard for the pro-
prietors. She came here, and when he saw
her he ran out Of the back door. The next
she heard of him he had skipped TO
Canada. About q month ago she learned
that he had returned. She procured q war
rant for abandonment, and she devised q
scheme TO entice him back to Williams
burg that he might be arrested. SO when
she met him she kissed and embraced him
and said the children missed him sorely.
Friedman couldn't think of leaving
~Providence, but she cutely reminded him
that her father would advance him $500 so
that he could go into business again in
Williams burg. That changed his de-
cision, and 1t was arranged that he would
Join her Sunday afternoon, and that she
would turn over the $500. He was on
hand, kissed her several times, and asked
her Tor the collateral. She pointed out
Policeman Short, who stood near by,
armed with the warrant, and remarked
that he had the wampum. Fried
man dropped to the game but couldn't
escape. Then he denounced his wife and
swore revenge. At the police station a
bag containing gold and greenbacks was
found tied about his waist. He had
nothing to say when arraigned except
that he had been the victim OF trickery.
Mrs. Friedman excused her resort to the
little game, something after this fashion.
" He had spent my dowry of $500, sold out
for $1,000 the business my father had
given him $500 to start, secured all
OF my jewelry and deserted me. l
just hated to kiss him in Provi-
dence, but the success OF the scheme
depended upon IL. He came here and !
am to hsve him punished. I paid a weeks
board for him in Providence because he
told me he was as poor as a church mouse.
He had a bagful OF money though when
he was arrested" Friedman was held
in $500 for trial mex Thursday. 1t
was a kiss of revenge, but 1t trapped the
erring husband and the penalty for his
violation of the nuptial oath is likely to
be commensurate with his heartless and
re~prehensible conduct.

ROCKIES POINT, Queenstown Harbor,
July 24.-The Vigilant and Britannia
started this morning on their twelfth race

ing nine turns in all against eight turns
yesterday, for after sailing three times
around the course, the yachts had to sail
an extra four miles or so up the harbor
and up the river, turning sharply to port,
to the finish of the clubs headquarters.
The prize today was $500 offered by
the club. There was a large attendance of
sightseers at all the points commanding
the course and the fleet OF yachts present
include q number of arrivals from Eng
land. together with q few foreign yachts,
including two craft flying the French
flag. Conspicuous amid a contingent OF
naval and military men was Rear Admiral
Henry Z. st. John on board the gun
boat Albatross. The breeze just
previous to the start was from the
northeast and while IL was softer than
yesterday, when the yachts averaged about
ten knots per hour over the course, 1t pro-
missed to be steadier. An excellent start
was made shortly after 1890 a. m, the
w yachts getting away in fine shape
with the Vigilant in the weather berth
coming out under Rochss Point.
The Vigilant crossed the line broad on
the Britannia's port beam but slightly
later.

for the race to Poorhead and both sported
