THE LIGHT KEEPER.
Difficult Task That the Tender OF the
Bug Lights Performs.

The light house at Sassafrass Point and
at Fuller's Rock are almost as familiar to
the residents OF Providence as the Arcade.
But the same can not be said OF the man
who cares for them. He is, however, well
known to the residents OF East Provi-
dence where he has resided the past
q years. His name lie John j. Mullen and
he has had charge of both houses for nine
years, having been appointed by Collector
McWiIliams during President Cleveland's
former administration. For this work MIR.
Mullen received the princely sum OF
$500 a year (both lights). In the summer
time II Is pleasant exercise to do the work
but during the winter and In stormy
weather il takes a boatman and man OF
nerves. They are lighted just before sun
| set and extinguished after sunrise. The
lamps which furnish the light are known as
sixth order or bouy lights, and at the pre-
sent time of the year burn about one-hai
pint Of oil q night. The largest light on
the Rhode Island coast is AT Block Island,
andis known as the first order.
In the winter time when there is rain ac-
companied by extreme cold weather, the
work is most difficult, and Mr.. Mullen
has been obliged to crawl around the
base OF the tower from the
head OF the little iron lad
der that goes up from the watel
to the door which opens into the house
and this feat with the wind blowing
gale is far more pleasant to read abou,
than to perform.
During the nine years that he has had
charge of the lights, Mullen has visited
them twice q day, with but n exception
and that was during a heavy storm in '92,
when it was an utter impossibilit,
for a man to make landing
owing to the ice that had been broken b.
the steamers and piled up around tn
house. On several occasions IA
has walked on the ice from
one lighthouse to the other, which
was Of course early in the morn
ing before steamers came along
The supplies are received ono
a year and tho houses are inspected ever
three months. "Jack," as the keeper
best known, was born in this city an
has practically spent his LII
on the river. He is a
excellent boatman and has for his teachs
Jerry Angel who in days gone by made
business of letting sail and row boats.

COLD MISSING.
A Keq of $1,000 Stolen While In
Transit Through France.
Ru Oh Associated Pres.

PARIS, July 31.-In some
manner, a cask of gold from New YORK,
valued at $4,000, has been stolen while en-
route from Havre to Paris.
The French line steamship La Touraine,
Captain Santelli, left New York on July
21 for Havre with 40 casks OF Ameri-
can gold on board, valued at ~$2,OOO,ooo
and consigned to various concerns.
She arrived here July % and the forty
casks OF gold are believed to have been
safely landed at Havre and placed, COM
plete. on board the train running between
Uayre and this city. But when they
were counted on their arrival here there
were only 80. The police were at once
notified and are now at work on the case.
Two theories are being worked out, one
being that the gold was followed from
New York by expert thieves who waited
maternity their chance to abstract one OF
the casks, and found this chance while on
their way to this city. The other Is that
the thief or thieves hid in the car In
which the gold was su subsequently, placed,
and on the way to Paris one cask OF gold
was thrown out of the train and the rob-
Der or robbers jumped after it. The Tact
that only one cask OF gold was stolen
seems to indicate that only one person
was concerned in the abstraction OF the
| cask from the train.
The police refuse to n pro-
gress they nave made in investigating the
mystery, declining even to give out tht
name OF the c~onsignees. 1t is asserted
however, that the authorities have no,
been successful in finding substantial
clews and that the police OF New Yori
will be asked to go 10 work on the cas-
on the line of the first theory previously
referred to.
Although it is positively asserted tina
the cask of precious metal was stoier
while on its way to this city yesterday
there are people who ask IL a mistake
may not nave been made in tn
counting of the casks at Havre
and whether the gold was no
distracted on board the La Touraine
To this, the steamships company's ofhc
ers reply that it is impossible for thieve
10 get at the gold on board ship, so closet
is it guarded, in addition to the fact tina

situated in the most secure part OF tn

cash down for, probably at a pre-
MUM, the money would be tied
up years to come and the holders
who might want to use their
money otherwise would find them
selves unable to command it at
sight. There would not be ten per
cent Of these bonds taken by those
who would purchase a 500 bond or
less, and after being hawked about
town to their detrimant would in
the end have to be disposed of to
the man with capital who makes
a business of such investments
These bonds cannot be made to do
duty for savings bank, and it is
useless to attempt 1t.
