HORSE HAD A FIT.
vinnacco's Animal Crashes Through Plate
Glass Window.

When Providence horses attempt dam
age they are very successful, ss the off,
GERS end clerks Of the Phenix National
Bank, corner OF Weyb ybosset and Dorrance
streets. thought this forenoon. when j.
Vlnracco's horse care crashing through
one of the large plate glass windows on
the Weybosset street corner IL happened
about 1920 a. m. that the horse was taken
with n tit and lay down TO have IL out,
whereupon it was deemed advisable to
bleed him. This was done and worked
the most peculiar metamorphosis.
The animal Jumped u aud began to
tear around, ss IL Athlete with blind
stageers, while poor Vinnacco, who is an
ice cream manufacturer, No. 2 Manchester
street, held on with all his might. The
horse was too strong FOR the man, and
after gyrating few times stuck his dazcd
head through the glass, which is valued
at $40. The result was a cut in the
equine's nose. which DIR. Smith OF
Young's stable sewed mp with four
stitches. Vinnacco borrowed another
horse, and policeman O'Neill LETT word
for him To remember that now the horse
has had one fit, the owner will be liable
for all damage done. The street was
crowded at the time. and the escape from
injury Of pedestrians was remarkable.

TURN TABLES GONE.
Expert Railroad WOrkmen Remove
Terminal Distractions.
Something About the Fine Balance OF
Big Locomotive Twisters.

The bridge men of the New York q
New England Railroad have Just complet-
ed the work OF removing the two big
turn tables In the New England freight
yard and that practically clears up that
big section for the work of the new term
inai facilities, and an intricate tracing OF
rust streeks is all that Is left to indicate
where the innumerable spur tracks and
round house connections used to be.
removing turn table Is no ordinary
day-laborer sort OF q JOB, and 1t takes ex-
pert bridgemen to do ii. The special
psny numners 10 men, and Is in charge
of MIR. keene. They have a special car
htted up for comfortable living place
and In 1t the men eat and sleep and
travel to any point on the system where
their special services may bc required.
They were four days, including layods
Tor bad weather, in taking out the two
tables, and loading thom onto fiat cars
Tor transportation. The New England
table was OF the old fashioned Sellers pat
tern, ana made in four sections, or cast
inss, including the Dig pivot or spindle,
the revolving center piece and the two
lateral iron girders which completed the
framework and upon which the platform
for the rails is placed.
The other table, called the Providence
and Spring field, was the last one taken
up. IL is of wrought iron, the parts
trussed together like bridge and max
ing one solid mass.
There are two tables left now within
the city limits, and they belong to the
Consolidated, and are in the vicinity of
Charles street.
While the old tables. such as those Just
removed,are only 80 feet long, the mod
ern sort, for the accommodation OF the
big engines, average 65 feet in length,
and the one near Oregon street Is 20 feet
long and weighs somewhere in the vicin-
fty OF ID tons. Add TO this the 220, 600
pounds which big engine and tender
with coal and water aboard will weigh,
and then consider that four men, with
lever handles, can easily revolve the
whole mass, and II will be very evident
that turn table, as cumbersome as it
may look, is a most nicely adjusted piece
of mechanism.
sle0O, ready to set, and the transportation
and work OF excayating for the basin and
setting up Will cost another $1,000.
On the Pennsylvania Road the tables
are turned by steam power, and in some
places electricity has been CxperimeDted
with successfully. Rut SO long as four
men can turn an engine, and so long as a
dozen or more "wipersn and 'oiiers" and
spare hands are at work at every round
house, ready TO Jump TO the handles ct
moments notice, II Is not PROBABLE that
the additional cost OF a special steam or
electrical plant will meet with general
favor among the railroad men.

Abbey, SchOeffel & Grau
Make Assignment.
Practically Stripped of Every
Dollar They Had.
Operate Profits Swallowed Up in
Dramatic Ventures.

New YORK, May 23.--After an extended
and brillisnt career as operatic and dra-
matte managers, after introducing to the
American public the greatest actors and
singers OF Europe, after presenting grand
opera on more splendid scale than has
ever before been attempted in this coun-
try, Messrs Abbey, Schoeffel g. .irau,
controlling the Metropolitan Opera House
and Abbey's Theater, in New York, and
the fremont Theater in Boston, have
found themselves I'm sci ious financial
difficulties, and have made an assignment
for the benefit of their creditors.
Their operate ventures since 1891 have
given them magnificent profits, but with
two or three exceptions their dramatic
undertakings bave been most disastrous,
and the latter have not only swallowed
up all the great gains of the opera sea-
sons, but have run the firm into such
debt that they find themselves, as firm
and as individuals, practically stripped
OF every dollar that they owned.
The condition of the firm has been seri.
Gus for some time, but they had good
ground for hope that. they could pull
through successfully. The crisis was
precipitated oy Air. Abbey's present scri-
Gus illness.

DOCTORS SUDDEN DEATH
Brights Disease Takes Off DR.. Wins
low Without Warning.
Was Found Unconscious In Bed and Re-
mained SO Until He Died.

Yesterday afternoon DIR. B. II. W!nslow,
a well-known and talented physician OF
this city, died at his late residence, S60
Broad street, after an illness OF less than
"a hours. DIR. winslow appeared to be
enjoying good health up to Thursday
evening of this week, and had made ar
rangements for performing, with Drs. j.
K. Brown and Herbert Terry an import
ant operation on Friday forenoon at
residence on Gilmore street. AS he did
not arise at the usual time Friday morn
ing the housemaid went to his door to
call him, and from the heavy and labored
breathing within the room discovered
that all was not well. Several physicians
in the neignborhood were called, and en-
deavored by every means available TO
arouse him from the conatose condition
in which ne had been found. All efforts
were unavailing, the patient remaining
unconscious up to the time of his death
at $3.50 u. m.
The physicians in attendance ascribed
the cause of death TO Bright's disease,
producing profound uremic poisoning.
Deceased graduated from Bowdoin,
Me, medical school in 1890, from Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phiiadelpnia, in
1892, and then spent season abroad. AS
self to hi, constituents aud TO all whom
he met, and severe indeed Is the shock
which his sudden death produces in
those who had learned 20 know and to
love him. Ever faithful to the interests
OF his patients he neglected himself and
made easy the onset and advance of the
insidious disease which caused his un-
timely death.
DIR. Winslow was born in woolwich,
Me-, 2S years ago. His parents, Rev. and
Mrs. George w. Winslow, OF Belfast, Me-,
and his elder brother, George q. Winslow
of Weymouth. Mass, have the sincere
sympathy OF the community in their sud-
den bereavement.
Besides his connection with local medi-
cal societies, DIR. Winslow Is a member of
the Masons, Odd Fellows, Druids, and
United Order OF Workmen.
The funeral services will be held at the
late residence OF the deceased tomorrow
afternoon at O'Clock.
