Denver Aldermen in Danger
of Being Lynched.

A Special Force OF Fifty Policemen

PREVENT MOB FROM VIOLENCE.
Before Adjournment Council Passed
the Obnoxious Ordinance.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-A special from
Denver says: The fight for an independ-
ent water service or a reduction OF the
prices exacted for the present service,
which was made an issue of the spring
election, eliminated last evening in the
passage of the ordinance submitted by an
Alderman charged TO be in the pay OF the
Union Water Company
For eight hours the Aldermen sat I'm the
council chamber while an indignant null
titude OF citizens threatened them with
lynching II they carried out the plan con-
templated for the passage of the ordinance.
force OF 30 policemen in uniform and a
score OF city detectives in citizens cloth
ing were In the room and they were ex-
pected TO interpose between the mob and
the Aldermen IL IL came to the worst. A
rope was shown by the crowd and it's use
was called for when Alderman Emery
changed his vote from the side of the tax
payers to that of the water company
There was a rush toward the rail that
separated the crowd from the Aldermen,
but one OF the citizens representatives in
the meeting jumped on chair and begged
the crowd TO remain cool and allow the
proceedings to go on In an orderly
fashion. The crowd hooted and for a
time there seemed no possibility of hold
ing them back.
Finally, after appeals from Aldermen
Leet and Ames, the rebellious element
began TO melt away, and the Council was
permitted to go ahead with the transac-
tion of routine business. Just before ad-
journing, however, the Council passed the
obnoxious ordinance.

DIED IN HIS CHAIR.
f. w. Crosby Succumbed TO Heart
Disease In the Narragansett Hotel.

+. VIC rosby, ca years old, died in his
chair at the reading room of the Nara
gansett Hotel at 80 O'Clock this fore
noon. The body was taken into private
room b and there examined by Medical
Examiner Palmer, who decided that death h
was the result of heart disease. The re-
mains were placed in charge OF Under
taker Knowles.
Mr.. Crosby retired from business in
California nine years ago and at that
time came to Providence, where he and
his wife have resided ever since in apart
ments at the Chestnut Street House. After
coming East he did not actively resume
business, but has always been a familiar
figure in the stock quotation rooms of the
several brokers offices.
Two years ago he suffered a paralytic
shock from which he never fully recov-
cred, although he has been able to be
about town, and this morning when he
left the house after eating breakfast he
was apparently i'm his usual health.

! the character and construction OF the
| building itself, and from the large
number of financial institutions which
have already signifed their intention
to locate in the building and the large
number of institutions already perma-
nently fixed in the immediate nefghbor-
hood OF this building, it will definitely
| establish this as the banking and Office
centre of Providence.
A number of the shrewdest and most
conservative investors in Providence have
already interested themselves in the
building.
Plans OF above described building can
be seen at the Office Of William III. Her
rick, IL Custom House street. Store and
office space arranged to suit tenants.
There is a main entrance on Weybosset
street, one on Postofiice court, and one
on the new Exchange street (now Dun

iron thoroughly protected with terra
Gotta and plaster. The basement, first
and second story corridors will have
marble floors and dado Of marble.
On the basement and first floor there
are stacks OF safes to accommodate the
differe mt offices.
Above the first story, the building
will be cut up in offices to suit the re-
quirements of tenants, each Office hav-
ing wardrobe and bowl. There Is also q
safe, in which there will be private boxes
for the different offices on each floor.
The corridors throughout the building
are II feet wide, tiled with white marble,
and windows in each Office which will

The NEWS presents to its readers today
picture of the new Grosvenor building,
to be erected Immediately on the Gros-
venor estate. This building is after
plans by Winslow q Wetherell, the noted
architects of Boston, who have built a
large number of the buildings of this
character which have been erected in New
England, and elsewhere in the country.
The builders are Messrs Norcross Bros .
who have national reputation for build
fngs OF this character.
IL Is TO be built in the most thorough
and substantial manner, with steel frame.
The first three stories of stone, the bal
ance of brick and terra Gotta with tile
roof 1t Is TO be absolutely fireproof, and
every Office in the building Is to be an
outside one, thus giving beautiful light.
1t will also be ventilated in the most inn
proved and modern manner. Ii will have
five elevators 1.-TWO eXpress) thus giving
rapid and easy access To the upper floors.
Ii will be bounded ON three sides by
three of the principal streets of Provi-
dence, on the fourth by Postofiice court.
The location is therefore, unexcelled. 1t
will be- architecturally, a most attractive
building and credit TO the City OF Provi-
dence.

have met with remarkable success in the
placing of the securities. The subscript-
ion books open today and close on the
third of July, but up to last night sub
criptions have been received to the
amount of nearly 5000, 900, leaving but a
moderate amount for the public to SUBJ
scribe for. These subscriptions have
largely come from institutions and trus-
tees, showing the high opinion which
investors of that character have of the
building as an investment.
1t scarcely necessary TO say that, located
as 1t is, 1t will be promptly filled with
desirable tenants; in fact, applications
have already been received-enough to
nearly fill one half the building, and this
practically without solicitation.
This building will be to Providence

in advance for a month.
When the testimony for the plaintiff
was all in, Robert w. Burbank moved for
the defendant, on the ground that the
action was brought originally in the
District Court, and no action for trespass
on the case could be brought in that
court, unless some relation between She
parties as landlord and tenant was shown,
and such relationships has been clearly
disproved by the plaintiffs testimony.
After arguments by Messrs. McGuinnes
& Doran, attorneys for the plaintiff,
the court denied the motion.
The defense introduced testimony to
show that the plaintiff approved his tes-
for the plaintiff with special findings.
j. Frank Woodmansee was given iudg-
ment by default in his suit against Harry
