THE POULTRY SHOW.
Pleasant and Peculiar Music In
Music Hall Today.

Judging from the appearance of things
ut Music Hall this afternoon this year, s
poultry show will not only exceed any
previous exhibit of the Rhode Island
employed Will have TO work tonight In
order 10 get the awards made before the
public Is admitted tomorrow.
They have made excellent headway,
however, all the entry cards being mp
and a number of the premiums and COM
mandatory caros being in place.
To visit the hall is something like GO
ing into pandemonium, with the excep-
tfon that TO most ears the crowing OF
cocks is neither discordant nor disagree
able.
On every hand one hears growing.
First a big grandfather rooster, thinking
1t is morning, utters hoarse cock-a-doo-
dle-doo, and then diminutive bantam
on the other side of the ball wakes up
and answers in the salute in shrill tones
which are by no means weak. This
arodses the Brahmas and Leghorns and
plymouth Rocks, who go at 1t in concert
with sufficient force to bestir the fat
ducks, turkeys and geese and the first
thing you know the whole hall is filled
with Natures music. Even the doves
bill and coo in tuneful echo. 1t is really
worth while TO attend the concert.
or course there are great many exhi-
bitors, too many, in fact, TO enumerate
here. Among them, however, are few
quite worthy OF mention. Take, for in
stance, Col. II. j. Hamilton's beautiful
crested Polish fowl which created such a
sensation last year. There they are in all
colors black, golden, golden black,
silver, silver and black ana in white. j.
III. Blood of Walpole has some fine buff
Legnorns, as have Il. II. Brown OF Old

y. Smith of North Andover, and several
others exhibit some handsome white Leg
horns. Conlms & Batterfield of Stafford
Springs show some bearded silver Polish
worth noticing, il they don't receive an
award.
w. III. Congdon has a fine lot OF black
Leghorns and another of red crested
brown bids of the same species. The Wy
andotte birds came in for n large share
of attention, also. j. w. Andrews of Digh-
ton has some fine whites, King & Whit
ing of Plainville some pretty buffs, w.

Continuing, the st. James Gazette
says: "It SO his loss will be regarded by
all who have come in contact with such

Broad Street SQuatter Com
mitted to Buffers.
His Wife Appears as Complains
ant Against Him.
Had Threatened to DO Her Injury.
Opinion of the Doctors.

Tom Atwood is no longer driving nails
or digging post holes at the old Eoyle
burial ground on which he squatted few
weeks ago. The long and strong arm of
the law stretched forth. seized Tom and
now he is languishing in confinement in
the Butler Asylum. Ii seems that At
wood has been as erratic in his treatment
OF his family as i'm his methods as =
builder. At least that wss the tenor of
the testimony given by Mrs. Atwood this
morning before Judge Sweetiand in the
District Court.
Mrs. Atwood stated that her husband
had been very violent of late and bad
several times threatened to do her bodily
injury. She was in fear that he would
carry out his threats and believed At
wood should be placed under restraint.
DIR. Palmer ana another physician who
examined Atwood testified that he was
unquestionably OF unsound mind and .
dangerous person to be at large. Upon
this testimony Atwood was ordered COM
mitteo TO the Butler Hospital for the
Insane. During the hearing Tom sat eat
ing popcorn and at one point broke out
with an assertion that he wanted law
yer TO look after his interests, and added
the declaration that he had as much right
TO be heard as those who appeared against
him.
For many years Tom Atwood was .
driver on the Cranston horse car route,
and at that time had the reputation Of
being one of the best men in the Union
Railroad Compapy's employ.
An accident occurred, however, which
led TO his summary dismissal
lie was proceeding with his car up
Westminster street one day and at Dor
rance street, in spite of warning, drove di-
rectly in front OF an approaching dummy
engine drawing a long train OF cars. The
horse car was wrecked and the dummy
derailed
subsequently Atwood secured position
as driver in the Fire Department, which
he held until about six months ago, when
Mt fire he acted so queerIy, threatening
persons about him with an axe, that 1t
was apparent his mind was unbalanced.
lie was dropped from the department
and IL is understood he then spent some
time in the Butler Hospital.
Little was heard of him until about q
month ago, when he .squatted on what
was formerly the Hoyle family burial lot
at the corner OF Broad and Moore streets.
On this piece OF land he proceeded to
build in the most erratic fashion, q
structure which he said was Intended for
a greenhouse. He was still at work on
this cranky structure when the complaint
of his wife led to his arrest and subse-
qCent commitment as an insane person.
1t is understood that in the opinion OF
the doctors who examined him, there is
little hope of his restoration TO a sound
mental condition.

The Typhoid Germs We're
Not Found.
Investigators at a Loss to Ac-
count for Trouble.
Search is Being Continued to Solve
the Question.

In connection with the typhoid fever
cases supposed to be tracea BILE to Johnston
milk, the State Board Of Health has com
pleted the chemical analysis of the water
taken from the wells on both the Little
field and the Harris farms and reports that
the water IN both wells is as pure as any
well water. This practically settles the
supposition thar any contamination en-
tered the milk from the water in pro-
cess OF cooling, and DIR. Swarts says that
this throws the Investigation back on
the hypothesis that contamination enters
the milk in the process of straining, il
being possible for the typhoid germs 10
have been in the strsining cl oths. The
doctor also states that there is no reason
10 suppose that there was any occasion
for diluting' the milk, although Inspector
Potter is reported as being of different
opinion.
The meteorological analysis OF the well
water in question will not be concluded
until tomorrow.
DIR. Chaplin has been away today. but il
was stated at his office that a few more
cases of typhoid fever were reported to-
DAY. The number was not obtainable.

Manager Alden will doubtless secure a
place. The other best cadidates are Tai
colt, Cedy, Chapman and Foster. The
Freshmen class contains many good
bowlers, but as yet none has shown the
form required by the State League. The
bowling alleys in the Gymnasium have
been repaired and new balls purchased in
order TO facilitate the work Of the team.
The regular match will begin next term.
Efforts are now being made TO form an
ice polo team to represent Brown. A list
OF players has been submitted to Profes-
sor Moore OF the Athletic Advisory Com
mittee in order that the team may play
under the authority of the college. The
team will be chosen from the following
candidates unless other men prove their
superiority at later date: Hale, Matte
son, Jones, Watson, Owen, Jenckes,
Hunt, Merriman and Budlopg. Hale,
'96, will act as manager and schedule
of games will be arranged with other
colleges. Two games will probably be
played with Harvard, which was twice
defeated last year by an independent team

that Lincoln Field will be flooded in order
that suitable playing surface may be
had near the college.
