"saloon Alley" Too Much For Alec.
Alexander Mason came to town last eve-
ming, and the memories of his visit will
long remain In the thinking cells Of Alec's
memory. Alec makes regular custom OF
coming to town once q week to dispose Of
his marketable stun, and In return he
loads up with the good things to be found
in grocery stores, meat markets., etc. Some
times, though not often, he strays into
one OF the gilded palaces, where they serve
up delicious decoctions of different kinds
of brain destroyers. Last evening he
struck ''Saloon Alley" Central street, and
the temptations, and after results OF the
temptations, and after results OF the temp
tations, were too strong for poor Alec, and
he fell by the wayside. His brain had be-
come mixed up, and In his attempt to turn
his noble steed the other way he gave an
excellent exhibition of how near he could
come to driving through a window with
out doing any damage.
Alec had the whole of Central street to
himself for awhile, because his actions
with the horse were so erratic that 1t was
not safe to get near him or the horse.
Chief Goldsmith came along and put an
end to the circus performance by escorting
Alec and the turnout to the police stetion.
He was fined q and cost, this morning, In
the District Court.
Mischievous Boys.
Word was teleohoned to the police sta
ton about $50 o'clock last evening that
some mischievous boy or boys had thrown
a stone through the window of one of the
passing trains from the Clay street bridge.
Sergt. Louks started, out Immediately to
investigate the case, but could not get any
trace of the culprits further than the fact
that Just previous to his arrival at the
bridge o boy was seen to run toward Dex-
ter street. Several times the police de-
partment has arrested boys for this dis
picable action, and they were Let Oh with Q
reprimand. Anyone caught in future In
this sort of business will receive the full
penalty of the law.
Will Replank the Central Falls End.
Carpenters have been to work for some
time replanking the Cumberland side OF
the Valley Falls bridge, and It was decided
late yesterday afternoon by the Board of
Public Works of this city to have the Cen
tral Falls side done. Orders were given to
Contractor NORM to that effect, and a
much needed improvement will be made.
The last time this bridge was replanked
was during the administration Of Andrew
Patt, as Highway Commissioner, In the
year 1891. The roadway was then raised A
inches higher in order to prevent the sur
plus water from lodging on the bridge.

while working about his yard was felled t.
the ground by telephone pole which
had become rotten from old age. Th'
pole had been neglected, as there wa
scarcely a sound part of 1t beneath TIT

juries received. No immediate steps wer'
taken by Mr.. McGrath of this city to seel
