IL is almost inconceivable TO one who
stands on tho bridge at Market Square and
watches the stream OF people, teams and
cars constantly passing over 1t, that
Providence was ever SO small as to find
an lS-foot bridge at that point sufficient
for its wants. Yet such is the case. As
late as 17l6 bridge Of that width was
erected there and served the town for a
long time subsequently,. Nor was II the
first built at that point, for in 1719 a
bridge was rebuilt there, the one previ-
ously spanning the river having been
carried away by n fresbet IL Is more
than probable that the earlier structures
were even smaller than the one erected
in 17i6.
In this connection il is worthy OF note
that il was the construction OF this lS-
foot bri:ge that led TO the esta blish-
ment of the first lottery in the State. In
1744 tho General Assembly granted au-
thority for the establishment of lottery
for the purpose of obtaining funds TO pay
for new bridge at Weybosset street.
Fifteen thousand pounds was the amount
OF the scheme, 1900 pounds of which
was to be used in paying for the bridge.
The town purchased 400 of the lottery
tickets, probably TO encourage the citi-
zens TO buy; but history saith not whether
among the 400 there was winner.

There mpst have been something OF
a row between the managers OF the lot
tery and the committee empowered to
build the bridge, for i'm October, 17i5,
the latter were notified not to proceed
with the work until further orders.
When the Assembly met in February fol-
lowing, the committee got even with the
lottery men by securing from that body
a formal order directing the lottery man
ayers 10 pay forthwith the 5000 pounds
into the town treasury. This was done
aud work On the bridge began, aHd-was
prosecuted without interruption to
completion. The lottery scheme thus in
augurated flourished for many years
aiterward, but was finally made illegal
and since that has been under the ban Of
the Law.

evening upon the occasion of the musical
entertainment given by Herr Aamold,

acknowledged ability, and his execution
last night was wonderful. He plays
with great expression, and in his selec-
ton "The Traumarie,'' which was given
as an encore. he charmed the audience
by drawing from his instrument the
most beautiful tones. His range of
selections was wide, and he was equally
at home in the different class of pieces.
Miss Beamer gave great satisfaction in
her vocal selections, and was compelled
to respond to hearty encores. Her sing
ing of "Girzlhs Serenade' from Ben
Hur, was especially pleasing.
The entertainment was of high or
der throughout, and proved one of the
most attractive ever given in the city.

MRS. LANGTRY ROBBED.
Jewels Valued at 100000 Taken
from a Depository on
Forged Order.

London, Sept. 19.-During the absence
of Mrs. Langtry on the continent, a forged
order was presented at her bank for her
jewel box, which contained 100000
worth of jewels. The box was deliv-
cred to the bearer of the order. Mrs.
Langtry returned home few days ago
and today she sent to the bank for her
jewels, when she learned that the box
had been delivered, under the circum-
stances as indicated, on August "a. Mrs.
Langtry Immediately drove to the Office
of Sir George Lewis, O. c., her legal
adviser, and informed him of what had
taken place. Scotland Yard was ut once
notified of the robbery.
Up to the present time no trace has
been found of the missing jewels. There
is reason to believe that the value placed
upon the jewels which have so mysteri-
ously disappeared is not exaggerated, as
they have long been famous and included
three tiaras, one being of diamonds and
pearls, another of diamonds and rubies
and a third of diamonds and turquoises,
besides several necklaces and rivieres.
The box in fact contained nearly all
the gems and precious stones that Mrs.
Langtry possessed.
The order upon which it was delivered
was written on paper marked with Mrs.

BATTLE WITH A COLONY OF RATS

It was g. hard-aarned victory Tna1
Walter Carter won over an army OF
rats in Camden, says the Baltimore
American It was a case of fight OF
perish, and Carter fought. When the
fierce battle was finished he counted
the heaps Of fallen enemies. There
were 1O2 Of them. Carter is member

fered severely from the depreciation OF
rats, which seemed to grow in boldness
as they increased in numbers. They
were into everything climbing all over
the store and gnawing into boxes, bar
rels and bins to such an extent that the
owners were appalled,.
1t was the junior partners habit TIC
open the store in the morning, and he
invariably heard great scampering
over the place as he entered by the dim
light He concluded at last to have II
out with the little beasts, and began
an investigation to locate their rendez-
vous. This he had no difficulty in find
ing. AS he opened the door of a small
brick smoke-h house in the rear OF the
store. now little used, he saw fully
dozen rats run into holes in the floor
and walls They quickly recovered
from their fright, however, and emery
ed to glare viciously at him out OF the1I
wicked little black eyes. Carter walk
ed out got a short, thick club and
lantern, and re-entered the smoke
house. This time he closed the door
behind him. The dim light of the Ian.
tern served to half daze the rats, and
Carter had no difficulty in killing three
big fellows. AS they gave vent to dy-
ing squeaks, however, scores of other
rats emerged from seemingly nowhere,
surrounding the young man with the
club on all sides. To show an instants
fear meant probable death for the IN.
yader of the rats domain. It must be &
fight to a finish. Carriers retreat was
cut off. and he started in to fight.
The rats leaped at his hands and face,
and crawled over his feet, all the while
keeping up horrible din of squealing
that nerved Carter to his task. One
after another of the soft, ugly things
struck him as he stood dealing blows
right and left, and telling rat at al
most every blow. Still the numbers
multiplied, and the coura geous fighter
began to fear that he would have to
fall before the horrid foe. He had
been bitten several times on the hand,
but had managed to keep the fangs OF
the vicious beasts from his head and
face. Thus the fight kept On for fully
fifteen minutes, and Carter was grow
ing weak from the violent exertion.
At last, however, he felt that the rats
were gradually thinning out and
he had less trouble in keeping them
off him. This gave him fresh courage,
and at length he realized that he had
won. No more rats appeared.
Almost overcome by the exertionsan
excitement, Carter staggered out into
the open air and gathered himelf to-
gether In q few minutes he recovered

Stoned at the State Line.

A circular letter has been issued by
the Vermont Board OF Agriculture.
which states that cattle are being
brought INTO the state by car loads
from the milk stables of Boston,
thereby cndangering the health of
our citizens by having unwholesomc
meat thrown upon the market, and
exposing our cattle to contagion by
scattering infected ANIMALS among
our diaries. The board gives notice
that it has placed "A quarantine on the
state line and asks the public to in
form it of any attempts to cvade the
quarantine, to the end that all cattle
coming into the state may be en-
amined for tuberculosis.
