FIRE IN THE CENTRAL NINE
Caused by Hot Cinder from Locomotive
Flames Discovered in Time to Prevent
Serious Damage Death Of Mrs.
David Reese, of Avenue A.
FIRE IN THE CENTRAL NINE

6 O'Clock last evening the locomo-
tive shed in the big vein at the Central
mine was burned. The fire was sup
posed to have originated from a spark
which ignited some timbering in the
locomotive house.
John McHugh, a night engineer at the
Central air shaft, discovered smoke
which was issuing from the fan wheel.
He supposed the fan box or some other
part OF the apparatus to be on fire, and
investigated. He soon discovered that
the smoke came from the mines, and
at once called down through the speak
ing tube and questioned the men in the
next Vein below They replied that
they knew of no fire in the mines. Mr..
McHugh, in company with Timberman
Absalom Jones and Driver Boss James
Quinnan. went to the foot of the big
vein and found the fire at the locomo-
tive house, which is about $50 yards
from the carriage. When the fire was
discovered the shed was badly dam
aged and the engine was on fire.
A hose was procured from the OK
FORD breaker and run down through
the opening. The water, to put a
stream on, was pumped from the mines
In short time the flames were ex-
tinguished. The next man to visit this
vein would have probably gone down
about O'Clock this morning. so if the
fire had not fortunately been discov-
cred the damage would have been
great. Among the officials that visited
the scene We're Superintandant w IT
storrs, Benjamin Hughes, Master Me-
chanic James Eaton and Inside Fore
men Thomas Davis, Louis Roberts and
Henry F. Davies. They came to the
conclusion that the flames We're due to
hot cinders which ignited the wood

Danger Of COasting.

Coasting Is, no doubt a pleasant win
ter pastime among the children, but it
Is usually attended with a good deal of
danger. Last night at . o'clock only
by the most remarkable luck was a
fatal accident averted on Fig street
and Pittston avenue. The youngsters
go up Fig street as far as Stone avenue
and the grade Is quite steep. The sleds
come down the hill at a furious rate,
and just about the time they attain the
highest speed they run at right angles
across the street car tracks on Pittston
avenue. If car happens to be due,
there is danger of a collision, as the
children can not see the car nor the
motorman the children until it would
be too late to avert the danger Last
night sleigh containing four young
sters ran directly ahead of street car,
and but for the motorman had his car
all but stopped when he came to the
crossing there would have been
tragedy; and the motorman would not
have been running slow had not the
current been suddenly shut off.

AN ELABORATE AFFAIR
Was the Tanner Cheetbam
Wedding Today.
Nuptials Were Celebrated at the
Church OF the Holy Trinity.

Seldom, II ever, has the Church of the
Holy Trinity been the scene of such sn
elaborate affair as that which occurred In
that edifice at o o'clock this morning.
The occasion was the marriage OF Miss
Nellie Cheetham, the we'll known milliner
OF ftbis city, but whose residence ia In
Central Falls, to John Il. Tanner, we'll
known business man OF Providence. The
interior OF the pretty church was magnif-
Gently decorated with palms and beautiful
exotics OF nearly every description, and
the elaborate costumes OF the bride and
maids OF honor, together with the strains
from the church organ, made the occasion
one long TO be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to be present, and
the affair while enjoyable, was also very
solemn and impressive.
Long before the hour announced for the
wedding to take place people began to
congregate at the church and by 8 O'Clock
the church was well filed.
1t was 9:20 when the bridal party
reached the church and they were met at
the coor by the four ushers, and that duty
was agreeaDly performed by w. A. Bacon
and ID. McCaffrey OF this city and James

Ing and illness. Deceased had for some
time suffered from cancer In the back,
and last week an operation was per-
formed, In hopes OF relieving the sufferer,
but owing to his advanced age the opera
tion resulted fatally.
John II. Abbott was born In Hampton,
Conn, 62 years ago last February, but
when still young man removed to Paw
tucket, where he had been engaged In
business for number OF years.
At one time he was employed in the
market OF N. II. Whipple, resigning that
position to enter the employ OF the Chi
cago Beef Company, with which firm he
was connected for over 13 years as man
ager. He closed his labors with that COM
pany, however, some three years ago and

gagged IN this business at the time Of bis
death.
In politics Mr.. Abbott was Democrat,
and was member OF the Town Council OF
this city during the last year OF the town
government. Since Pawtucket became a
city he had held no political offices, and
although rendered the nomination for
Mayor by his party, refused to accept,
owing to pressure of business. He was
member Of the school committee for i've
years, holding the Office of chairman for
the greater part OF the time. Deceased

Last Night.
ENTER MAIN STREET STORE.
Fail to Get $4,000 That Was IN the
Safe.

A very poor piece OF safe breaking was
discovered this morning when one OF the
semployes OF the New England Grocery
store on Main street opened the doors of
the store.
The police are hot on the trail any may
have one or more In custody before the
Ink Is dry on the TRIBUNE. Boys could
not have done poorer job and every
thing points to the work OF juvenile
cracksmen.
IL they were older hands they nigh
have made big haul. The safe contained
considerable coin and this was what the
bows were after 1t seems.
In the centre of the store is an ordinary
sized TerwIlgef safe built at New York.
All the cash Of Saturday afternoon and
evening was In It..
When the store was opened this morn
Ing II was found In topsy turvey condi-
tion and the door of the safe was found
pried open.
Investigation proved that the thieves
had gained the rear by an alley way and
had pried open zinc-lined door which
was fastened with bolt. Inside OF this
was another door which was opened by
pushing hard enough to spring the bolt.
Then they went up stairs and refreshed
themselves with some dried beef, smoked
salmon and six bottles of soda water.
Then they turned their attention to the
safe and the knob of the com bination W as
broken off. A one-fourth inch hole was
then drilled In the combination, but the
attempt to blow open the door was a
failure. They then attempted to pry 1t
open with chisels and got about half of
the outside sheeting of when they must
have been frig ghtened, as two of the chisels
were lest In the door, and the six others
on the floor. There was about e, 900 In
the safe.

During the past week the market OF
Charles Z. Conley was broken into but nc

A SCRAP" WORDS.
A Lively Scene at the Public Library on
Saturday.
From the Sunday JournaIJ

From the Sunday Journal.
The air was yesterday afternoon full Of
rumors Of "bit OF ruction" In the Free
Public Library between two of the trus.
tees Of the institution. IThe Librarian
and her assistants are very reticent about
the matter, II, indeed, the assistants knew
much about 1t, but the story on the street
Is to the following effect:
Not long ago a collector and dealer in
old books offered to the trustees large
collection OF books relating to Rhode ISL
and-some 700 in aiI-at q stated price.
This offer was considered by the trustees,
either collectively or individually, and
there was disposition to make the pur-
chase, provided the books were worth the
money asked.
Two of the trustees thought this part OF
the matter better be looked into, and the
opinion OF some expert be obtained. This
was agreed to, and Sidney s. Rider Of
was applied to and yesterday sent his son
out to examine the books.
While the young man was thus EN-.
ployed one Of the trustees, who had
recommended the purchase of the books
In the first place, came in, and seeing
what the young man was about, prompt
ly ordered him out of the library.
Another trustee, who was in favor OF
obtaining an expert opinion attempted to
stop this, and then "the fun commenced"
History will not record what was said,
but rumor had 1t that the thermometer
went "way up" In the library for a few
moments.
