customs at this port and held the position
until the time of his death.
In 1882 he accepted a position as marine
reporter on the Providence Journal, and
held it until last July, when, on account
OF ill-health, he was obliged to resign.
Again a noted tennis player falls before
the all-conquering man from Ireland, and
today's game decides whether he captures
the championship cup,or whether Wrenn,
with his peculiar method Of play, over
comes the stolidity of the Irishman.
Good body played the same game yester-
day ss he did the two previous days. The
sets also went the same way, Larned
captured the first; the second went to
Goodbody; the third to Larned; the
fourth was hard struggle, but wretched
returns OF Goodbody's lobs lost it for
Larned. The fifth and decisive set marked
an early spurt by Larned, who immedi-
ately went to pieces, allowing the set to
go 6-2.
The summary was:
Good body beat Larned 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 7-5,
6-2.
The fair danes of society held their
second cat boat race yesterday afternoon.

out Of the race.

He assumes the several disguises in order
to bring villain to justice and prevent
the dishonor Of the heroine. He makes
the play interesting by his clever
dialects and speciality work and holds
the attention OF the audience
by various devices developed by exper-
fence with the play. His comedy efforts
were ably seconded by Jack Tucker who
is also comedian of recognized ability.
j. Francis Kirke played the villain with
his usual earnestness and energy, and Miss
Katherine Angus, who made her first ap-
pearance at this theater, gained
the good will of the spectators
by her skill and personal attractions.
The Others in the cast who performed
their parts satisfactorily were Clifford
Dempsey, Orson Dunn, Il. w. Carroll, q.
w. Thomas, James Snow, Miss Eva Will
Jams, Ellie Il. Seymour, and Little Allie
Fisher. Nip and Tuck and the living
pictures will be seen all the week.

Westminster Theater.

The seasons second week at the West
minister Theater opened last night with a
crowded house and an attraction well
calculated to please. The name of the
combination this week is John f. Fields
Drawing Cards, the grinding monarchs
OF merriment, and as the program
intimated it would be, each act in their
amusing performance was a revelation of
something new in the way Of fun.
The Kaffa Brothers followed immedi-
ately after the overture and performed
feats in tumbling and acrobatic business.
Maud Beverley vocalized after the manner
OF good many funny people,
and her character songs were full of
snap and fun, as well as being pleas
ant to listen to. John Edgar
created the next sensation. He was in the
sketch team with James Curran and did
something entirely new, this season. called
the cane dance which is very skillful.
John f. Fields himself, accompanied by
Charles Hanson, comes on at this point in
the show and gives a genuinely
original thing, very appropriately
called instrumental comedy. The
pair can play on any instrument
generally known besides few more that
no one but themselves ever heard about.
That is the instrumental part. The
comedy comes when they can tear around
and dance and fall over each other with
out losing note. Charley Cases strong
point is drollery. He explains a great
many OF the intricate problems Of child
hood in way that calls for encores.
Effie Huested and Mabel Guyer are enter
tanning as character duetists and dancers.
John and Harry Dillon sing songs that
are "bent and twisted" and bend and
twist themselves in the comical okum
dance. They make one OF the funniest
pairs on the stage. Miss Marie Gina APP
pears as one of Vienna's favorite soloIsts,
and wins for herself the same title
In Providence. George l.. Austin, the
wire king, not only excels in wire walking
tricks but he livens up his act with a
good deal of unexpected comedy. John
ME Carroll comes out and amuses the peo-
pie. The show winds up with Mszuz and
Abacco who have an act funny enough to
beat the band that is entitled 1.-The Tramp
and the Brakeman"

ALMOST READY.
The Tax List For 1894 is About
Completed Now.

The department OF the assessors of taxes
in City Hall is hive of industry this
week. The Board has been actively en-
gagged for several months in the task Of
the valuation OF the ratsble property
throughout the city. and an
extra force of clerks are devoting
their best energies to the
task of posting the books which involve
the registry and collection of some Is, 900
accounts, and the exercise OF expert
mathematical science. The assessors are
unable to give any reliable information
as to the aggregate valuat ion Of
real and personal property as
compared with that OF last year. They
have discovered that number of wealthy
possessors of personal property have trans
ferred their residence outside the city
thereby contributing to q material reduc-
tion in the revenue. While an unusually
large number of business blocks have
been erected or are in process of construc-
tion, yet the Board are inclined TO the
opinion that the improvement OF real
estate from residential point OF view,
will not equal that OF a year ago, for which
the business depression is largely account
able.
The City Council has fixed the rate
of taxation at sl.6O per 800, the same as .
year ago.
The total valuation OF real and personal
estate in 1898 was Sl59,sl2,6 66o and the
amount OF tax 1885,, ,O00,ee. Previous to
last year the rate of tax for five years was
sl.5O per 800. The assessors expect to be
ready for the publication OF the figures
by sept. 1, and the prospective taxpayers
will then be afforded an opportunity
either to smile or To weep according as
the Board have seemed TO have exercised
profound wisdom or poor Judgment.

Just as he was putting on the last plank
three Jewish women appeared on the
scene, one OF them weighing nearly
300 pounds and standing nearly six feet
high. They demanded that particular
plank, but the old man refused. Then they
grabbed the plank and knocked the old
man down. The big woman grabbed him
around the neck and began to choke him
until he let go the plank. When
the three women and the plank
disappeared in the rear Of the

GOVERNOR DIDN'T FISH
And the Rest Of the Party Consider the
Executive Secretary a Hoodoo.

Senator Kenyon OF Richmond had the
distinguished honor OF entertaining
Governor Brown, Secretary OF State
Bennett, Executive Secretary Jcn-
nings and other officials OF the
commonwealth at his hospitable dwelling
in South County yesterday. He supplied
them with fishing tackle and they cs-
sayed to capture some large-sized trout,
pickerel, perch and incidentally bass or
two. Secretary Bennett, with the
patience and perseverance OF an Isask
Walton, hung to his task and is said to
have had big luck.
Such was not the experience of Secretary
jennings who didn't capture an approach
to q bite, and returned home heavy
hearted. His Excellency watched the
fishermen from afar, and drank in the ex-
hilarsting ozone which was waited across
the farm. Neither of the party is inclined

first time that the latest amusement
craze was seen in this city and the sur
prise OF il was charming. The groups
were arranged by Frank c. Chase and
his skill and good judgement
were illustrated in the COPIES
OF famous printings by living figures, in
oluding "SpringSime," Cupid" North

dramatic performance, which consisted
OF the amusing farce entitled "Nip and
Tuck" with Comedian Harry webber
leading the cast by five different charac-
ters including Nip the detective, Roger
the gardner, Mons. LaVslle the French
man, Surgeon Glim and Sampson the foot

w. A. LUTHER INSANE,
Had Hidden Big Carving Knife That
He Intended to Use on His Wife.

William A. Luther was adjudged in
sane in the Sixth District Court this
morning and sent to the State asylum. II
has been noticed by his friends that his
mind has been affected for year or more
and at intervals he was thought to be
dangerous. During the past week his
actions were such that the members OF bis
family deemed it wise to place him in
confinement, and at their request Mrs
Luther called two physicians last Friday
who at first decided that he was insane,
and afterward said that he was not, at
any rate not to that extent that IL would
be necessary to place him in confinement.
On Saturday evening Luther was furi-
Gus and made an attempt TO kill Mrs.
Luther, who, to save her life, left the
house and has not dared to return, and as
Luther is large and powerful man there
was no one in the vicinity who cared to
lend Mrs. Luther any assistance. Ac-
cordingly she decided that he was not
in fit condition to remain at large.
In court this morning Drs. Keefe
and Gardner testified that he was insane
and Mrs. Luther's story left no doubt in
the mind OF Judge Cooke, as TO the in
sanity OF Luther. After Luther had been
taken from his house, IL was found that he
placed large carving knife on stand
near the bed under piece of
paper in such careless way
that il would not be noticed by persons
in the room. IL is said that the parents
of Mr.. Luther were insane at the time OF
their death and he has at the present
time an uncle who is in an asylum in one
OF the Western States. Until a few
years ago he was much re-
spected and was for many years
connected with The Journal as a com
positor. and was for q number OF years a
member OF the police force OF this city,
but OF late he had drank heavily, which
is said TO be the cause Of his present con-
dition. He is about go years old. There
are no children.
