Evidently the men who struck against
reduction OF wages at the Rhode Island
Tool Companys works on West River
their places were filled very shortly after
they went out. About twenty of the
strikers organized Wednesday and yes
terday sent word to Superintendent
Whitehead that they would like TO have
their wages increased. As was expected,
no reply was received as there was no
room for the men and the superintendent
did not care to discharge the men who
had taken the strikers places.
Two men got into a row on West River
street last night about 10 o'clock. The
men were very drunk, but pummeled
each other as best they could,
considering their condition. The
a crowd, who urged the oombatants
on. The cry of "police" at the top of a
woman's voice dispersed the crowd and
spoiled the fun. fhe fighters ran into q
neighboring saloon.
Another prize fight took place in the
Silver Spring woods last night between
young tough from Olneyville and an
other from the North End. The mat
ter was kept very quiet, espe-
cially from the police. The spec
tators numbered about 20 and they
enjoyed the fight immensely. When IL
was over one of the men had very bad
black eye and his nose will probably be
disfigured for life. Both men have local
reputation as scrappers.
"Only Country Girl" will shortly be
presented by the Players Club of Vans
kuck, which II composed of some Of tho
best amateur talent in the city. Colonial
Hall will probably be the place where the
entertainment will be given. A WELL
known professional will play the part Of
ha Ofr ha
well-known elocutionist, will be the
leading man.
The Rag Hills and the Henriettas played
another game OF ball yesterday in the lot
near the Silver Spring Bleachery. Nolan
and Mccarthy were the battery for the
Rag Hills and Mulvey and Costigsn for
the Henriettas. AT the close of five in
nings the score stood 21 to 13 in favor OF
the Rag Hills.
The Shrouded Circle of the Dirty Thirty
Is planning for something novel in the
way of May festival, and IL the plans
are carried out thousands of persons will
wend their way to Windmill Hill
May and there witness q bull fight with
real bull and q cohort OF brave and
sturdy toreadors. Seventeen of the Dirty
Thirty have already signified their will
lingness to act rs toreadors and the
Young Ladies' Literary Club OF Tooleville
has agreed TO embroider banners for the
victors and furnish red blankets with
which to madden the bull. A committee
of seven was appointed last evening TO go
into the farm districts of North Provi-
dence to make arrangements for purchas-
ing bull with padded tips on his horns
or with horns capable OF being equipped
with padded tips.
AT an early date grand concert and
bali will be given, the proceeds of which
are to defray the expenses of purchasing
and maddening the bull. There is also o
rumor that a cskewalk will be given on
the evening OF the contest on Windmill
Hill, and II the bull is slain there will be q
barbecue, tickets for which may now be
obtained from any member OF the Thirty.
The affair is being arranged for with
the greatest secrecy and every precaution
is being taken TO keep any inkling of 1t
from the police.
