CRAMSTON COUNCIL.
Objcctors Present and They Kicked
at Some Proposed Things.

ODJcctors Present ana Ihey hlcko0
at Some Proposed Things.
The regular monthly meeting OF tho
Town Council was called to order In the
council chamber, Knightsville, about IL
O'Clock this morning, with all members
present. Outside the railing were about
10 persons whose countenances showed
the anxious expectation working within.
The audience was not as large as was
anticipated; but the reason is evident.
Many who wanted to object believed that
in spite OF objections the commission
would be appointed on Cranston street SO
that the time when their objection would
avail much has not as yet arrived.
The matter OF Cranston street was
oilled up; the notice was read, and the
Town sergeant returned his warrant GER
tifyiDg that he had served notices on all
but three or four The obiectors were
called upon, and Mr.. Sweet of Cranston
responded. He said he objected, II the
change would throw any more water on
his land. Mr.. Sweet already has claim
for overflow of water on Cranston
street. He asked that the present def
cheney be remedied or he will sue the
town. Mr.. Reuben Wilbur next ad-
dressed the Council. Mr.. Wilbur asked
the reason why new commission is TO
be appointed. Mr.. John NJ. Dean an
nounced that some Of the AUDITORS are
now willing to give their land. Mr..
Wilbur expressed himself as being in ia
vor of the improvement, but thought that
il should not be done under the Better
ment act, but rather that the whole town
should pay for the improvement, as the
benefit would be general. He asked
why the new commission will make
different report from the old one. MIR.
Buulong said that some of the assess
ments levied by the old commission
were unjust and cited as an example the
assessment OF Mr.. John M. Dean. Mr..
NJ. a. h.. xtaI-
sion TO be appointed had been instruct
ed. He was answered that the Council
had no power to instruct the commits
sion.
Mr.. Wilbur says that Cranston street
has heen surveyed SO many times that
the stakes are SO thick that pedestrian
can hardly help stepping on them In
No other objectors appearing the other
side was asked to speak. No one an
swered, or had time TO answer,
before the case of Mr.. Hines OF
Oak Lawn was called In relation
to line fence on "Conley'A"
the street committee.
A petition for concrcting walks on
Edgewood was also referred to the street
committee.
Council then, after reading the resolu-
tion in relation TO the widening of Gram
ston street, decided to assess one half the
damage to be paid by the town, and the
following named gentlemen were appoint
ed a commission thereon: Messrr.
George X. Bsbbitt, John Q. Davis, Eddie
NJ. Shaw. all of Edgewood, Shaw avenue.
Mr.. Joseph Richardson notified Council
that the change of grade on Cranston
street damaged him and he expected the
town TO settle.
During the discussion q recess was
taken TO examine the grade. This was
about II IN.
The afternoon session viii be upevcnt-
full end short.

Vo the Citizens Of Providence;
The Census Department Is now engaged IN
completing the enumeration Of the City OF
Providence. The reports made by the enum-
orators who covered the city In June indi-
Gated so many families as absent from home
would have been an act Of injustice.
The situation Is one for which neither tho
IL arises from the provision of the General
Statutes which requires that the census OF
the population of the State shall be taken on
Tho ever.inoreasIngl annual flight TO the
country ana shore which has developed dur
ing the last decade has made the first month
of summer the most unsuitable time OF the
year in which to take the census of n large
city. Prior 20 June first many. families had
left the city for their synmer homes and | by y
finished thoir district the departures for the
season were almost over.
few families were enumerated at their
Bupmer homes: othors protested against
being enumerated anywhere except in the
City of Providence. and there were doubtless
many persons who had moved outside the
II was apparent that in order to counteract
the unfortunate operation or the law IL would
be necessary TO await the return of these
families before completing the enumeration.
Since the last week Of September special
pgents OF the Department have beon visiting
nll residences previously returned as "unoc.
cupied" or "family absent for the summer"
and several hundred names have already been
added to the first returns.
IL may be that even after this precautionary
measure some persons may be omitted. but
such possibility will be lessened II all per
sons who were residents of the city on June
first and who have besn hitherto overlooked
10y the enumerator will kindly send their
names and addresses 10 state Census Office, 30
North Main street, City.
The enumeration Of the population is the
Ilost valuable portion OF the census work, for
Sc reveals the social. industrial and political
condition OF the people. Its value Is proper
tionate TO its accuracy, and ~ is with a view
60 make the present census as perfect as pos
sible that the Department is now making this
extra effort In regard TO the City of Provi'
dence; an effort which Is not required by
the census Is taken. The task will be easier
and the result more satisfactory IL the resi-
dents OF Providence who have not been enum-
Grated will kindly cooperate with the Depart
ment, as before Indicated.

WHY WASHINGTON HOUSE WAS
Nor BURNED.-During the revo
luton Washington could, of course. visit
Mount Vernon seldom, and Mrs. Wash
ington was accustomed to spend the
summers there. In the winter lull o.
hostilities she usually spent some time
in camp or town with the General. Dur
ing Washington's absence from Mount
Vernon it was left in charge Of one Lund
Washington, distant relative. In the
wear of 1871 British man-of-war lay
in the Potomac, off Mount Vernon, just
as similar ships did first and last IN
nearly every tidewater stream on the
coast, as the Americans had no ships
with which to oppose them. Lund
Washington was desperately afraid
Mount Vernon would be burned, as in
deed was threatened, and so, with a
shrewdness that was more character
istic of New England than of Virginia
in those days, he went aboard the ship
in q rowboat, taking fresh supplies from
the farm as present to the command
er. This act of aiding and ahetting an
enemy came to Washington's ears, and
he rebuked Lund Washington in Ian.
pusge which was probably as stern as
he ever used. The agent was com
manded in the most unmistakable
terms to let the British burn Mt. Yer
non if they wanted to but on no ac'
count to offer them any more Virgins
eggs, milk aud vegetables from the
farm of the commander-in-chief OF the
opposing army.-Richmond State.
