BIG BANK CAVES IN.
A Monster Landslide This
Morning
AT THE DEMPSEY ESTATE.
Rain Undermined the. High Wall on
Park Place.

About 8 o'clock this morning the
monster bank wall In the rear of the
Dempsey estate, which faces on PARK
Place, cayed in with crash and brought
mp against Darn owned by Daniel o'Neill
in the rear OF his estate on East avenue.
The handsome Dempsey property
on Park Place Is about fifty feet
higher than East avenue In the rear and
the land was graded down to bank wall
which is about twenty-five feet high.
This wall was only finished about three
days ago, but instead of putting In n good
foundation II was built on an old wall
that mad been there for years.
The heavy rains caused large amount
or water to collect In the East corner iand
undermined the old wall which gave way.
A small barn owned by Mr.. Dempsey Is
situated at the foot OF the wall and is
rented by w. X. Rounds and when he
saw the walls cracking ne got his horses
and wagons out lively.
The express company that rents Kssper
Kern's barn got several wagons out OF the
way just in time.

| YELLOW GAME,
Very Loose Fielding by
the PaWtuCketS.
LOST TO THE PORTLANDS.
Tomorrow's Big Game Meeting Of the
Association.

The crowd that attended the game on
the Dexter street grounds yesterday sf-
ternoon were very strangly reminded OF
the famous yellow day OF few years al o
for the work Of the Msroons was de-
cidedly OF that shade, especially In the
outheld where the yellow tinted cloud
seemed to hang the lowest all the time
and occasionally shifting SO as to envelope
the infielders.
In other words II was a loosely fielded
game, the only good features being the
usual errorless work of Roach behind the
bat and the herd work OF Morse in the
box.
The batting was not strong until the
seventh inning, In fact IT was an of day
all around. One run was all the home
team got until the lucky seventh when
Wise lined the sphere out for two bases.
Meakin followed with another two bsser.
After these came two singles and an error
by Burns which gave Pawtucket i've runs.
The crowd became excited and yelled
like Apache Indians.
Morse was taken out In the seveni b
and Meakin put In and of the eighth men
who came to bat before the latter only
two hits were made.

It Will Make a Nice Little Trip For
S, mebodv.

The specially summoned meeting OF the
City Council yesterday was a case of
"much ado about nothing" The only
matter of business was the passage of a
joint resolution authorizing the City
Solicitor to apply to the General Assem-
oily for permission to bond 5000. 900 of the
present floating debt, besides the $500, 900
school.
In other words, Il makes a nice trip for
the City Solicitor to the famous May ses-
sion and incidentally, OF course, 1t will
be necessary for the Mayor ana some OF
the members of the Board OF Aldermen to
get down to Newport so that this act may
not be lost, strsyed or stolen. The same
thing could have been done just as well a

people, completely annihilated George
Godfrey in glove contest at the Casino

trate In the sixth round.
Then the thousands in the audience
yelled like fiends. John L. Sullivan
rushed onto the stage and into the ring
and embraced Mnher. So did Jack Mo
Auliffe. And the whole vast crowd OF
spectators tried to DO likewise
It was contest Of giants, and for big
men went at an awful fast pace. Not
one moment Of the score of minutes that
the men passed in the ring was wasted.
Maher clearly and completely bested
Old Chocolate. In science, hitting pow
ers, In generalship and In avoidance, God
frey was outpointed.
From the start to the finish it was
Maher's fight. He punched Godfrey as
often as he cared TO- George was slow,
and awkward and stiff.

A CUMBERLAND LETTER.
DIR. GaryIn's Rubrlc.

DIR. GaryIn's Rubric.
Editor Tribune:
DIR. Garvn has many phases which are
humorous to the everyday fellow who
sees fun in the braying OF an ass or I'm the
rivalry OF two young roosters 10 outcrow
each other. He is as stolid as dough and
cannot see point or explain one better
than that renowned philosopher, Dick
Swiveller. lie and DR.. Smith and some
others up In the wilds of Cum berland
have no sense OF the funny parts in them.
At a recent Democratic caucus the wise
and learned doctor of all the Ills of the
body polite, and of religion as well, acted
as exorcist In an endeavor to cast out cer-
tain rascally devils from the Democracy
OF that town. IL was a sight never to be
forgotten. The doctor was solemnly per.
forming, as he supposed, the politico-
surgical operation OF omphalotomy which
was to sever McGirr and others from the
Gsryin-Smith Democracy of Cumberland.
He went at his work with ali the
enthusiasm OF an astbmatic court
crier with voice and manner
indicative OF that affection
for the party which one clap board on a
house has for another. He was In the
omophagic state. He could eat McGirr
and Shea and Leighton raw and do 1t as IL
he were only saying off column of wood
plate OF one OF his speeches on the present
dilapidation OF the world or his thirty
six principles of religious belief which he
evolved some years age when he wanted
TO start a new religion. The labyrinthal
mind OF the doctor did not go, however,
back to the time when his followers
signed nomination papers for Mr.. Ballou
lad H. Afnll liza kaA
received a square Democratic nomination
tor the General Assembly. In this respect
1t must be presumed that the doctor had
taken dose OF lacticarium from Doctor
Smith, for his obtuseness was plumbum.
OF course he was rubucus toward the
wicked Democrats who had got tired of
him and his fads and did not like his de-
feat in the Spring.
The doctor, however, forgot one thing.
He has been great stickler for the ball
lot reform law for caucuses. He forgets,
however, that any man who presents his
ballot at Democratic caucus Is allowed
to vote II he declares that he will support
the ticket nominated at the caucus. I'm
der this rule OF the Democratic State Gem
trail Committee IL cannot be seen what
good the doctor has done. The evil Is
apparent in the dissensions OF the party
and the disgust which all OF the Demo-
Gratis feel towards this charlatan OF po-
Titles who has slept with every known
party and has been constant to none. The
spectacle OF such a political chameleon
trying to read" good, constant and true
Democrats out OF the party would cause
anger II IL were not that the singular
obtuseness OF the doctor causes a smile.

TERRIBLE MURDER
A Boston Woman Meets a
Horrible Fate.
TWO ARRESTS ARE MADE.
A Mysterious Visitor of the Victim
Wanted by the Police.

Boston. May 29.-Mrs Annie Butler, a
wellknowu dressmaker, who has been
employed by many well-known people In
the Back By, was found dead at her
apartments In 90 Church street Saturday.
IL now transpires tnat death was the re-
suit of violence, that the woman was
murdered. The police have arrested
Anderson Pickering. 40 years old, native
OF the British provinces. in connection
with the crime
A woman, Carrie l.. Brent, is at the
bOslse of detention. She Is detained as a
witness The police 90 not reveal whether
she was present at the occurrence or not
When the woman was found she was in
her room covered with blood The neigh
bors at first thought the death was due
10 natural causes, and that the hemor-
rhage occurred as the result of fall OF
some other mlshap of an innocent natnre,
or that the woman was killed by disease
resulting In hemorrhage.
The appearance of natural death was
however, found to be deceptive, accord
Ing to the police, who stated that the
woman was injured so as to bleed to
death.
Mrs. Mclaughlin occupies the tene-
ment overhead at 80 Church street.
She claimed very little knowledge OF
the people beneath. The most import
ant Information she could give was to the
effect that man brought wood in bas-
kets 10 Mrs. Butler, just as il it was her
husband.
Mrs. McLaughlin's Story.
The facts, according to Mrs. McLaugh-
lin, must be correctly told. Evidently the
police seem to consider that she can be
found when wanted.
IL is not strange that the matter has not
been made public before, for it seems
that the best course has been adopted, In
order that the murderer could be appre-
hended.
The idea that the woman died OF a
hemorrhage of the bowels is secuted by
the police officials of station 4, who are In
position to know.
The crime was such dastardly one,
according to the statements given out by
the police and confirmed by the people In
the locality, that IL is likely to attract
more attention than IL otherwise might,
perhaps.
The fact that the woman was SO horribly
injured that the resulting hemorrhage
deluged her surroundings makes the case
practically one of butchery. The dread
full details are too shocking DO be gone
into at length.
The case of the woman will probably
go down in the sa me category as that of
the little Baud ct girl, who was mur.
dered, and of the victim Of Frank Almy's
rage.
The brutal circumstances will probably
be ventilated in court before long. Il Is
said that the perpetrators of such deeds
rarely escape; the author of this cowardly
outrage is likely to be soon brought to
Justice.
The question that remains to be solved
Is whether the murderer was aided and
abetted In his act or not. It In thought
that he was not; that perhaps the woman
was under the influence of intoxicants as
well as her slayer.
