THE MOON SHONE BRIGHT
Even the Elements Range Themselves
on the Side Of the Awashonks.

Luck was with the Awashonks last
night. 1t looked like rain all the after
noon and it looked like rain late at night
but there was a bright moon and starlig ht
interval of three hours from 7:15 until 10 rs
p. m. when the clouds got completely out
of sight and that was just time enough
for Captain Pettey to take lot of his
friends down around Prudence and back
affording them all the pleasures incident
al to the trip.
In the first place the boat is speedy
enough for exhiliration effects and To
cause comment without nervousness. As
result of that speed the Awashonks
slipped into the east passage just abreast
OF the 450-foot Priscilla, which from
the deck OF the smaller boat had the ap-
pearance of floating mass OF flame. OF
course the latest New Yorker got ahead.
but the Awashonks party could still see
1T when their craft lodged in between
Prudence and Canonicut Islands
and came out into the west passage Just
in time TO get view of another big IL
in the passing OF the Connect
icut. The sail up was just an pleasant as
the sail down and the moon was still in
evidence when Captain Pettey whistled
for the bridge.

TRIED TO ESCAPE.
kanoIe Attempted To Knock Down 4
Wall With His Shoe.

A young man, John #. Konole, about ~
years OF age, was arraigned In the Sixth
District Court this morning, charged
with maliCicusly defacing . building
belonging to the City Of Providence, and
pleading guilty, was fined go and coats.
Kanole Was arrested In the Second Dis
tr!cf last night for drunkenpess. He WAS
iEcarcerated in the Second Station
in one Of the cells in the baso-
msnt. Several timos during the
night the officers on duty in this station
heard peculiar noises in the bassmspt, buf
when the cause was sought nothing coula
be discovered.
Early this morning, however, the noises
became more vigorous, and finally the
officer IN charge proceeded quistly
to the basement and made IN
Investigation. The sounds proceeded
from Kanole's cell and after locating the
source definitely the cfiicer ssprangn :
gbt and looked into the cell.
Kanols was discovered In his stocking
feet, with one of bis heavy shoes In his
hand, and IL was with that that be was
disturbing the peaceful interior OF the
station. He was making hsroio
effort to escape and when dis
covered had succeeded In batterin9
down two bricks In the wall of the csll.
The heavy iron-shod heel of his shoe
crumbled the bricks to dust and had be-
not been discovered at that time lie would
have undoubtedly accomplished the feat
Of releasing himself. The heavy
lock on the coll door was found to be badly
battered, but the chunk OF iron resisted
his efforts and he was forced to work else
where.
The officer promptly removed Kauole
from the cell and took his shoes away
and in addition to q fine of ~ and cooto
for drunkenness he was fined on . charge
Of defscing property.

SUES FOR LIBEL.
Charles R. Flint, ESQ.,, Resolves to
Punish a Guilty New York Paper.

The many Providence friends OF Charles
X. Flint, Esq, will be interested in read
ing the following editorial from the New
York Commercial Advertiser, which says:
ave hope that Mr.. Charles r. Flint will
succeed In his most praiseworthy effort to
discipline The Evening Post. Mr.. Flint Is
one OF those men who In this town are
rightly held OF much account. lie is
merchant, and no one OF hts years has
done more than he to build up the com
merce of this port. His name is without
a stain; his ships sail all the seas, and he
himself Is Of mighty sound and goodly
substance. And yet we have not seen any
man in business life that was made the
target of more malignant, vicious, aud
cowardly assault than was recently this
same Mr.. Flint by The Evening Post Nor
was the offense in any degree mitigated by
the haste with which the editor Of
The Post admitted that his charges were
wholly false. and that his attack upon
Mr.. Flint was founded upon habitual and
gratuitious mendacity. This particular
kind OF lying ought to be madc expensive,
and Mr.. Flint's suit against The Post for
s25O.0O0 IL OF a most wholesome tendency
and moderate withal, provided anything
The Post may say can be thought to pos
sess such value"

NEWPORT NE WS.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


NEWPORT, Aug. 10.--Last evenings per-
formance at the Opera House proved that
in Parsons production of the "White
Squadron" the management secured q
first-class attraction for the opening
night. The play is one which abounds in
chances for good acting and in neatly ar
ranged scenic effects.
The work of Julian, Smiley and Neil,
who impersonated officers in the Brazil
ian army, showed most careful study on
the part of those gentlemen. and w. A.
Whitecar as Victor Staunton, made an ideal
officer In the American navy, winning
from his first appearance the hearts OF the
gallery gods and obtaining deserved ap-
plause from those in the orchestra circle.
Miss Almossino's Hope Staunton' was q
clever sketch OF demure Quakeress. All
other parts were well taken, and the
piece went off with a snap and vim which
is usually lacking on a first night.
The summer residents in the southern
portion of the city are complaining OF the
low water pressure. The Newport Water
Works Company discovered that their
nous use OF water on the lawns and at
the stables of these people, and have taken
this way to, in n slight measure, decrease
the consumption.
Elmhurst, the residence OF Mrs. Lowis l..
Hazard on Broadway, was struck by light
ming during the heavy thunder shower
yesterday afternoon. The bolt entered by
means OF the telephone wire and played
havoc with portion OF the plastering and
wood work in one OF the bed rooms. The
damage will not be over 600.

days, closed last evening. The fair has
been highly successful, and the proceeds,

MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL.
Hands jme Sum Realized for the Bene-
lit Of st. MarIa's Home.

The midsummer festival planned by la
dies OF the Catholic churches OF this ciN
and Pawtucket for the aid OF st. Maria's s.
Home was continued last evening at Ade-
iaide Park. One could hardly imagine
THAT the ground had ever been used by
the dirt begrimed players OF the national
game. The field had boen transformed
into beautiful pleasure ground and was
In every way fitted to accommodate the
throngs OF pleasure seekers who enjoyed
The festivities OF the evening and at the
same time aided worthy charity.
Electric lights studded the field, and
pretty girls, pretty booths and sweet mu-
sic were very much In evidence until late
hour OF the evening. Everything was in
formal, and the many patrons seemed TO
be enjoying themselves TO the fullest ex-
tent.
A concert by Hedly's National Band
was the principal at TRACTION early in the
evening. The program was as follows:
naien, '...'.....

standard Bearer March 81. .Fahrbach
After the concert the HedIy orchestra
furnished music for all those who desired
to take part in dancing, A large floor had
been laid out In the right pasture for this
purpose and as soon as a natural shyness
to be the first couple had worn of the
hoor was crowded. The floor director
was Mr.. John Mahoney.
The tables and booths presided over by
pretty girls and fringing the limits of
the diamond were designated by various
names. The most noteworthy OF these
were the columbus" table, the "Homev
table, elm" table, "Bannern table and
Excelsior" table.

charge OF the affair were as follows: Com

SUIT FOR ISLANDER.
The Horace Daniels Litigation Once
More Takes Sensational Turn.

Deputy Sheriff Goodell has today served
a writ OF $4,000 for slander on Lawyer
Louis l.. Angel In behalf OF John K.
Goldsworthy.
The suit is the result of some wholesale
charges of corruption that Mr.. Angel
made in the Probate Court of Lincoln
yesterday at the hearing on
the Horace Daniels estate. At
the time the Daniels will was
filed Goldsworthy was Judge of the Lin
coin Court of Probate, and he was ap-
pointed as administrator Craw-
ford Fairbanks, whose admins
tration some Of the heirs were
SO dissatisfied with that they have
brought the matter into court and en-
ployed Angel as their counsel. Mr.. Il.
ID. Bassett is attorney for the admins
strator, and yesterdays proceedings were
so very warm that Mr.. Angel refused to
ride to the city in the same car occupied
by Mr.. Bassett.
The attorney for the heirs had accused
the ex-juoge of probate, the administrator
whom he had appointed and the oppos-
ing counsel, of bei.sg together in a con-
spiracy to rob his clients and accused
them of having succeeded and
he demanded reparation. Mr.. Bassett
suited his reply to the occasion, and the
court attendants at Central Falls were en-
tertained by some very spicy repartee.
Mr.. Goldsworthy fatty denies the
charges duplicating him in any such
deal, and that there was a deel.
The plaintiff in the slander suit has as
sociated with himself, for the prosecu-
tion, Attorney George j. West.

NO PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Democrats Cannot Agree To Make
Even the Necessary Appropriations.

WAsHINoroN, Aug. 10--In comparison
with It's most recent predecessors, the
63rd Congress bids fair to become noted
for its abstinence from public building
appropriations. Although two sessions
have nearly passed and although many
bills, large and small have been reported
from the proper committees, but one
solitary act has succeeded In pasring the
gauntlet of objectors In both houses and
obtained the Presidents signature. After
the experience of Wednesday when the
House committee on public buildings was
given the day and could not succeed in
passing a single bill on the calendar be-
cause of the economical tendencies
Of several members from the South, those
who had pinned their faith upon the sue
cess Of sundry building projects for their
districts have abandoned hope Of securing
anything which involves IN Appropria-
ton. Particularly II this true Of the
Chicago members who have waged an
arduous and uphill campaign to bring to
the attention of Congress the needs of
postal service Of their city for adequate
housing. In the spring they worked for
sometime to induce the committee to visit
Chicago. After that q now visit, which
convinced the COMMITTEES men of the
necessity for new postoffioe, there was NO
trouble In securing Recommendation,
but that having been obtained, there was
q struggle to bring the bill up on the floor.
After Wednesdays set back, they are
greatly discouraged and hardly expect to
be able to do anything.
Various expedients have been resorted
to to push bills through other than the
regular channels. Several public build
ing amendments were tackled to the sum
dry civil bill In the Senate and have caused
q disagreement between the conferrees.
Most important Of them ID the provision
for the purchase of ground for q site
for q news government printing office.
No one In Washington doubts the need
for a new printing Office building,
the structure which now shelters
5000 people being crowded, Ill
ventilated and sure to become death
trap in case Of fire, but there has been q
continual disagreement between the Sem
ate and House over the selection of new
site. The house COMMITTEES recommends
the use Of land already owned by the gov
ernment, while the Senate committee re-
ported in favor of square which is con-
sidered too high priced.
Besides the demand from Chicago, there
has been strong pressure brought to
bear for the completion of the New York
appraisers warehouse, which was planped
to be an II story building, but has been
stopped at the fourth story because of
the lack Of money.
