Division 15, A. o. H., held its regular
monthly meeting in Concordia Hall last
evening, Vice President Dennis +. Drury
presiding. There were six propositions
for membership aud 10 new members
were initiated. The division Will hold
ball May 3.
One OF the oldest residents of Wanskuck
had peculiar experience last night. lie
retired as usual q bout 10 o'clock, but had
not been in bed but a few moments when
he felt something crawling up his right
leg. and very soon another object began
To creep up his left leg. His hair stood on
end and the cold sweat came out on his
forehead. He could not stir or cry out
for several minutes. He imagined every
moment he would be bitten by some poi
sonous reptile. At last with yell that
aroused every inmate OF the house,
and the neig bors for several blocks in
the vicinity of st. Edwards Church be
rolled out of bed and rushed down stairs
screaming. His face was as white as a
sheet and his legs tremb as IL with the
palsy. Ii was some time before he could
tell what had frightened him. His SON
in-laH, William Donavan, procured a
lamp and went to the room and searched
the bed. He found four pretty little
white kittens and the mother all together
But the old man still believes there was
something there besides the kittens.
In the North End there are a number of
young men who invest few dimes every
day in the policy game. A resident OF
Charles street invested e in what is
known as the Hennery" gig Monday
evening. When the little red printed
slips came out yesterday morning
some OF the numbers were miss
ing, and this fact aroused the
sn picions of the man who had
laid his money on the Hennery and he
went to Boston. There he found that the
Hennery numbers had come out and he
had won $500. He now claims that
the policy writers of Providence have
cheated him out OF this money, and he
intends to make it hot for them il he can.
He says this cheating has been going on
for some time.
Count Hope, A. o. +. OF A., held a
largely attended meeting in North Star
Hall on Gladstone avenue last even
ing. Two candidates were initiated
and there were two propositions for
membership. There has been q great
deal of sickness among the members for
the past six months and in consequence
nearly $500 have been paid out for sick
benefits.
