Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1894-07-27
in CENTRAL FALLS.
Very Sad Case in The
Court Today.
VERY SUCCESSFUL PICNIC.
Members Of the st. Jean Baptiste So
ciety Had a Walkover.

A sad case was before Judge Con this
morning. A person who was at one time
highly esteemed in tho town and had held
good positions and was valued member
OF one OF the church choirs In Pawtucket
was arraigned on the charge of being va
grant. He pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced to six moDths on the State Farm.
SLOW Highway Work.
The work on Broad street drags weariIy
along. The gang has been taken from
where II was working near Foundry street
and the work OF paying that portion of
the street In front OF the school house has
been commenced. Foundry street has
been left with bad opening and a little
time would haye finished the work there
so that teams could pass with little
trouble. A very small gang OF men Is
being employed, whereas a very large
number might be set at work. At the
rate tho men are now working the entire
job will not be completed this year. The
Council should see that the work is COM
pleted as rapidly as possible. The least
that could be done for the accommoda-
tion OF the store keepers would be to re-
pair one side OF the road at time, In or
der that they might not be shut OF en-
tirely from their places Of business.

The memb mbers OF the st. Jean Baptiste
Society, and more especially the Guard OF
Honor, returned last night from Crescent
Park happy and satisfied at the pleasant
features OF their picnic and proud OF their
Victory. Although tire Fall River delega-
tion numbered about 5 TO 7compared with
the Central Falls contingent, the latter
carried away all the prizes.
The first number was the military con-
test. The Guard of Honor went Through
their various movements In great shape,
ana when the Fall River Military Guard
were Invited TO go through their evolu-
tions, the Captain simply refused. He
had seen the Guard OF Honor and wss sat-
!stisd his men would not be "in IL" at all.
In the Presidents race President j. Il.
). Brazeau of the 81. Jean Baptiste So
oiety OF Central Falls camo In first and
MIR. Damase Collette, Honorary President
OF the same society, second.
The potato race was won by II. Fon-
taine OF the Guard OF Honor; the 2nd
prize went to Jean II. Brunette of the
same company.
Tho wheel barrow race attracted a good
of the Guard OF Honor, got the prize by
six inches.
No tug-of- war took place, the Fall
River people oeing afraid of Central Falls
giants.
At the conclusion of the sports, Presi-
dent Brazeau introduced President Chas.
do Gagne of the Ligue des Patriotes of
Fall River. This gentleman proved to be
quite an orator and entertained the ex-
cursionists for more than half an hour.
Many were disappoin ted In not seeing
on the grounds any OF the distinguished
Canadian speakers who were advertised
To be there, bnt the French people have
been 40 often fooled that way that 1t -
their own fault N they are not used to 1t.
