A $40, 900 Suit for SIander Now Being
Tried Before Judge WiIbour.

A year ago last March, Edgar j. Spof-
ford OF Lonsdale wrote a letter to a man
named Lothrop, concerning the private
character of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac l.. Sar-
ties written about have sued the
writer for slander in the sum of $40, 900 for
the husband and 5000 for the wife.
Previous to the writing OF the
letter all parties concerned had been on
the best OF terms with their families,
taking turns in visiting each other.
According to the testimony of the
defence Spofford had got Sargent one
job after another as mill overseer,
until Sargent had circulated evil re-
ports about his benefactor and family.
1t was TO refute one of these reports
and TO explain his own position
that Mr.. Spofford wrote to Lothrop
and indecent people the Sargents were.
The case is now on trial before Judge
Wilbur.

HOAR'S REPLY.
Senate Asked to Enact a
Spasm Into a Law.
Proposed Measure Hostile to Best
Interests Of the Country.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May S-After reas-
serting that the people meant that the SEN
ate should respond only to their deliberate
will senator Hoar said II was today asked to
enact into law spasm that the people
excitement of the fall of 1892, of
which the American people were re-
penting in sack-cloth and ashes, was
to take effect in the infinite mischief
and misery Of great action of legis-
lation. The senator's were TO hurry
and get the work done before the
people could get at them. This
Democratic majority of two, said the
Senator, made by the junior Senator from
North Dakota and the junior Senator
from Kansas, are expected to
compel the American people TO
submit to measure which they have un-
mistakabiy condemned and which they
loath and hate, as they tell us on every
occasion and in every form
IN which they can utter their
viii. Idle factories, extinguished fur
unprecedented msjorities at the polls are
clamoring in the deaf ears OF thisaccidental
majority in the Senate to wait and pause
until the will of the American people
can again find its constitutional
expression. When the Democratic
RIsSy Issi;y senator sss go Hosr e soMsr eSiS, the %
credit OF this country was
dishonored and when tue party came
back in 1893, IL found the country at the
high water mark of human prosperity.
in the fourteen months of administration
of complete Legislative and executive
power Democratic statesmanship and the
dread of Democratic statesmanship had
had their full effect. The workman had
left the mill for the highway. The
farmer and the merchant and
the manufacturer were alike unem-
ployed. The statesmanship that lighted
the furnaces had been succeeded by the
craftsmanship that builds soup houses.
''This bill, !" he said, sis founded upon
no principle and has no legitimate
parentage. 1t is born of an unnatural
union between two hatreds that of section
against section, and that OF class against
class" The present bill was not
free trade measure, continued the Sena-
tor. Ii contained clauses in the high
est degree protective, inserted for the
undisguised purpose OF buying votes. 1t
was not protectionist measure either
moderate or extreme. There was not a
scrap of good hearted Americanism in the
bill. Mr.. Hoar said there were eight
Democratic Senators representing great
Northern constituencies interested in the
continuance of the protective system.
Five of them represented States that
have recently declared unmistakably in
their elections and now have Legisla-

big Crowd Saw an Unscientihc Contest
Between Bowen and Abbott.
New ORLEANS, May s. stanton Abbott
of England and Andy Bowen of New
Orleans fought for purse of $500 at the
Auditorium in the presence of 1000 people
last night. The fight was for 10 rounds
only, at the request of Attorney General
Cunningham.
The exhibition was clumsy and un-
scientific throughout, Abbott disappoint-
ing the spectators by the poor form he
displayed, though the fight was fast and
furious at times. From the first TO the
fifth round, Abbott did the best of the
fighting, landing some left-hand jabs
with telling effect.
Rounds five 10 nine-Bowen evened up
matters and in the eighth round the home
man landed heavy right handler on the
forehead and fairly knocked the English
man down. The latter recovered quickly,
and dealt some left-hand body punches,
which did not do much harm.
The tenth round was an exhibition of
fast fighting, both men landing many
blows without single scientific ono. At
the end Of the round the contest was de-
cided a draw and the purse divided
equally between the two fighters.

Ill Only Few Days His Death Comes
as "a Great Shock.
Hon. William +. Sayles, the senior

Sayles, died at his residence on East ave-
nue. at 7:20 o'clock last evening
Mr.. Sayles had been ill but a few days,
having remained at his Office until
Thursday and his desth will be a great
shock to the communities in which be had
taken such great interest.
Mr. Sayles was born in Pawtucket on

at the Fruit Hill Classical Institute, the
Seekonk Classical School and at Phillips
Academy.
In 1912 Mr. Sayles entered the employ of
the commercial house of Shaw a. Earle in
this city and continued with them until
is41 when he purchased his first
unacquainted with the business into
which he had entered and he was
also hampered by his small capital but he
continued to increase the capacity of his
plant and by constant application i'm
proved the system OF work until
he had succeeded in establishing repu-
tation that was equal TO any in this Sec
fourths of all the fine goods made We're
brought to his bleachery which had a ca
pacity of four tons daily.
In 1854 the plant was entirely destroyed
by fire, but Mr.. Sayles proceeded to re-
build II in more extensive scale and
within six months he was able TO resume
work with plant that could turn out six
again enlarged in 1S55.and the capacity has
been steadily increased until at the pres
ent time its capacity Is about fifty tons.
Mr.. Sayle's brother, Mr.. +. Z. Sayles,
was admitted to partnership in 1853 and
since that time the two brothers have
worked together. During the years in
which the bleachery has been established
village has sprung up and this is
named Saylesville, while Lorraine also
owes its existence TO to the works of the
company. 1t was Mr.. Sayles who built
the Moshassuck Valley railroad that
runs from Woodlawn TO the bleachery,
and he has spent thousands of
dollars in building churches, schools and
halls for the benefit OF their operatives,
and in 1878 he presented the Sayles Hall
TO Brown University In memory of his
son, William Clark Sayles, who died while
student at the college.

also director in the Third National Bank

FROM THIS PORT.
Fall RiverFIoating Palaces to
Hail From Providence.
Better Terminal Facilities Here the
Cause Of the Proposed Change.


NEW YORK, May s.-The rumor OF
changes in the terminal points of the Fall
River Line did not excite astonishment
upon the part OF any of the employees
when they were seen upon the subject to-
day. One of the leading officsals, in the
absence OF the Superintendent, said:
"The entire business, both by land
sna saad. water "a the Is New nov York, IN Ne% snS
This company Is now an integral part OF
tibet, and as they can supply better facili-
ties for terminal business at Providence
than at Fall River, 1t will undoubtedly be
good policy to change the route OF these
large steamers to that port.
"The only question at issue was the
practicability OF taking the large craft up
the Providence river.
Whether this will also put an end to
the stop at Newport for freight and pas
sengers, do not know. Nor is the
projected change blow at Fall River.
The company owns considerabl bic
property at both Fall River and
Providence, and the movement is q
necessary concession to the increasing and
natural demand of our business. The cor
poration of the Fall River line is a
Massachusetts institution and of necessity
the chief Offices must remain where they
now are and always have been, in Bos-
ton."
A high official of the Providence Line
says that the change has been decided up
on, but will probably not take
place this season. The idea is 10 make
Providence the outlet for all eastern
travel.
Arrangements have been made to have
the passenger steamers Massachusetts and
Connecticut run from this port to
New York, beginning Monday, June 4.
The first named steamer will arrive here
from her winter quarters June 3rd.
