THE REFUGE HARBOR.
What the Commissioners Have Al.
ready Done Toward It.

Tit commissioners appointed by Cover
nor Brown to supervise the expenditure
OF the appropriation by the State for the
construction of the broadway from Great
Salt Pond on Block Island in the town
OF New Shoreham to the sea have returned.
The bids were opened on Saturday in the
presence OF the commission and the town
council, and after some consultation il
was decided to hold another meeting next
Saturday. They visited the locality and
obtained some interesting statistics i'm re-
gard to the proposed Improvement. The
Great Salt Pond covers a terri
tory OF 1000 acres on the east side
OF the Island, 500 OF which vary i'm
depth from Is to 60 feet. There is a strip
OF land some so feet in width Intervening
between the edge OF the pond and the sea.
The proposed channel is to be 300 feet in
the bottom and the plan is to dredge
1t to the depth OF 10 feet at mean low
water. 1t Is estimated that
1t will require the removal of 1870, 900 cubic
yards OF sand and deposit to complete the
broadway. The bids varied in amounts
from $4,000 to $780, 0O. The movement
to establish this harbor of refuge is not OF
recent origin. Years ago the work was
attempted, but IL was abandoned
for want of sufficient funds.
The advantages OF this inlet
haven are manifold. The present landing
place IL on the west side which is partially
protected by a breakwater and naturally
the hotel and residential property is
largely concentrated I'm that vicinity. The
opening OF the harbor on the east side
would tend to develop the property and
would greatly lessen the distance by
steamer from New London, Watch Hill
other excursion points. There are
admirable locations along the sides OF the
pond for cottage and hotel sites, and the
popularity and attractiveness OF the re-
sort would be greatly enhanced. The
town council is understood To
be favorable TO the enterprise.
and there is comparatively little
opposition among the townspeople, who
have recognized the advantages which
will accrue to the Island. The United
States Government has ordered a survey
OF the territory and II Is thought that Il
may cooperate with the state and town
authorities In the establishment OF the
harbor for the protection OF the merchant
marine.

A BLACK F|END
Horribly Outraged a White
Woman in New York City.
Terrible Struggle In Defence Of Her
Honor-The Brute Escaped.

Nv iHc As6fttQtt0 fTCS1-
NEW YORK, July 26.-Mrs. Fem, a white
woman, the mother of q family, was
beaten, robbed and and outraged In this
cityy yesterday by an unknown negro.
The negroe, who is still at large, entered
her room In the latter part of the morn
ing, when she hrppened to DO alone, and
demanded ten cents.
Mrs. Fein was frightened, but remem-
bering that there were hundreds within
sound OF her voice to protect her, nerved
herself TO refuse and prepared to scream.
The cry was stified by the black fingers
that encircled her throat.
She was pushed back into the next
room her bedroom-aDd thrown to the
floor, while the negro with his
disengaged hand pulled a long knife
from his clothes. Then with doth ktees
planten on the woman's stomach he held
the point Of the knife to her lips and
threatened to kill her instantly IL she
moued. Hanging from the bedroom was
q long roller towel.
The negro reached IL without letting go
on the woman, and with his teeth and one
hand tore 1t in two.
With one strip he firmly bound the wo-
mans hands behind her back.
The other he wound around her
neak and out and tied the ends
tightly to one Of the legs of the
bed. This acted both as a gage and fetter,
and effectually prevented Mrs. Lein max
ing the least resistance.

How an Artist Got an Inspiration For a

How an Artist Got an Inspiration For q
Pretty Painting.
There Is a picture by Hatfield hanging
in the Jordan gallery which has a very
pretty story. Mr.. Hatfield was one day
putting the finishing touches to a mag
nificent canvas q study of birches. Being
called away for a few moments, he return
eel to be greeted by a sight that would
have paralyzed an ordinary man. His lit
tie daughter during his absence had slip

complete, and thinking no doubt that the
introduction of u figure or two would add
interest TO the landscape proceeded to
supply IN Sprawled across the freshly
painted canvas in brown ocher was one
of those well known weird, m~isshapen,
nondescript figures that children draw
and call "a man." and little Miss Mis-
chief, so intent upon her work as to fail
to notice tha- entrance of her father and
with satisfaction beaming from every fea-
ture, was rapidly running the result Of the
patient labor of many weeks.
AS said before, this sight would have
paralyzed an ordinary man, and SO 1t
would, but Mr.. Hatfield is not an ordinary
man; he is an artist. He was not seized
with commissions, nor did he express his
grief in ordinary and conventional ways.
No, he silently and stealthily seized sketch
ing materials and began TO work as IL life
itself depended upon speed. The old pic
turo was entirely forgotten and disregard

Met with TERRIBLE Deaths.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, May 29.-The
worst wreck that has ever occurred on
the Wisconsin Central, by which at least
six persons lost their lives and several
were wounded, some. seriously, took
place this morning. No. f. passenger
train, with Engineer James Hubbard at
the throttle, pulled away from Abbotts-
ford 20 minutes behind time. Just as
the engine reached the upper switch at
Manville, and while running down
grade at terrific speed, it jumped from
the main track to the sidetrack, and
rolling down slight embankment,. with
the tender on top, turned bottom up.
Two sleeepers. one coach besides the
smoker and baggage, five in all, began
burning Immediately, and all but one
was destroyed. Engineer Hubbard was
found lying at the edge of his cab so
terribly scalded by escaping steam that
he died in about 10 minutes. Fireman
Bearhart was dead by the engine when
found, being scalded to death. Jason
Bigelow, the head brakeman, was not
found for about eight hours, his remains
