look grew to an expression Of consterna-

eyes seemed almost to start from his head,
n n could easily imagine the walter
expected to see the man fall forward on
the table and die.
Finally the waiter could Keep silence no

In q frightened way,

"Oh, yes, lots Of times. Wbyi"

NEWPORT, July 31.-The high rate of
speed attained by the cars of the street
railway in descending the steep grades on
Levin street and Beach Hill have caused
many prophecies of a dangerous accident
and yesterday afternoon it was only by
the merest chance that one was averted.
The IL 40 train from the postofice, con-
sisting of a motor and tow car, had just
discharged its passengers at the beach,
when motor No. 16 came down the hill at
a rapid pace and before the motormsn
could check 1t, struck and badly demol-
ished the tow of the standing train.
The passengers on the stationary train
had ali alighted before the collision, and
those on the runaway, while not injured,
were badly frightened.
The motorman claims that he was COM
ing down the hill at an ordinary rate Of
speed, and whenh he tried to apply his brake
it failed to work. Several people who were
on the hill are of the opinion that too
much power was on, and when the man
realized this, it was too late to check the
speed.
The Casino hop last evening was the
most successful OF the series. Society
turned out en- masse, and danced to the
music Of Mullaly's orchestra until the
hour Of midnight. Many fetching gowns
were worn, prominent among which was
a handsome blue silk, trimmed with yell
low silk and lace, worn by Miss Gam
nell.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Fitzhugh Whitehouse
gave a reception to about $50 Of their
friends yesterday at Eastbourne Lodge.
The drought still continues and farm
ers, gardeners and the management of the
Newport Water Works Company, all have
a care worn look. The condition Of af-
fairs Is probably the most serious In the
avenue portion Of the city, where several
magnificent lawns have been ruined by
the continued heat.
Notices extraordinary and personal APP
peals appear to have little effect, and the
water in the reservoir of the company
steadily grows lower, and although every
effort Is being made to prevent q famine,
1t looks at the present time as IL the
scarcity would be felt the latter part Of
the month.
