FULLER'S PLEA.
Says He Isn't Guilty of High
way Robbery.
Is Further Charged With Stealing
the Money From Him.

Frederick Fuller, olored, who for the
past 20 years, has been employed by the
Providence dealers on Canal and Dyer
streets, was arraigned in the Sixth Dis
trict Court this morning on the serious
charge of highway robbery. He pleaded
not guilty and was held in the sum of
$1,000 for trial Tuesday. 1t is claimed
that Fuller met Joseph WILLIAMS of River
side Square, East Providence, on Dyer
street, near postoifice court, at 5:tO this
morning, who he grabbed by the Iapels
of his vest ripping it open and then took
81 from Williams inside pocket.
Pstrolmen III. Nj. Willard and nj. j.
Luby saw the men struggling and went
to them, VIXEN Williams told his story.
Fuller was taken to the Central police
station AMI the money was found in diff
erent pockets of Fuller's clothing. The
latter stoutly denied his guilt, however
The alleged assault was made so quickly
that none OF the storekeepers or many
farmers who are about the street at that
early hour, saw it.
Fuller has been arrested many times
before for drunkenness, assaults and
larceny. Not being able to procure bail
today he was sent to Crsnston for safe
keeping. Williams was under the In
fiuence of liquor.

A SUIT OF EJECTMENT.
Brought Against Mr.. Perry, Head of
the Chute Syndicate.
Manager Boyden OF Crescent Park Has
Entered Case In Court.

Yesterday afternoon in the Seventh
District Court at East Providence the
case of George Il. BoydeD VS.. Marsden J.
Perry, for trespass ana ejectmeut, was
entered, and by agreement of the parties
was continued four weeks. The premi-
ses include about two and three quarter
acres of land ut Crescent Park, upon
which the chute Is located. The alIega-
tion which the writ contains is that on
August 25, 1895, the defendant did, with
force and arms, detain from plaintiff
possession of a certain close tenement
and estate to the plaintiff belonging,
with a description of the property from
which it was desired to eject Mr.. Perry.
MIR. Perry Is at the head Of the syndi-
cate which controls the chutes in this
state, and the land upon which the one
is built at Crescent Park is supposed to
be leased from Mr.. Roydcn, who holds the
property under lease from the heirs OF
the Page estate. There has been, so IL
is understood, some d dispute between Mr..
Boydcn and the owners of the chute over
certain matters, and the case in court
yesterday was without doubt the out
come OF the dispute. Van Slyck q Num-
ford were attorneys for plsintif and @.
Frank Perkhurst for defendant.

THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.
VIII Begin Tuesday Next--Services In the
Synagogue.

Monday is the last day In the year for
the Jewish residents OF the city. Tuesday
begins the year 5657, according to the
Hebrew calender, which reckons from
the creation of the world. The ceremon-
les will last for two days, beginning Tues
day morning and lasting till Wednesday
night. The Jews will BILE each day
and preaching, the people only going
home for food and rest nj night.
The authority for this Is taken from the
23rd chapter OF Leviticus In the Bible,
beginning with the 24th verse. In
fact. the whole chapter outlines the boli-
days peculiar to the Jewish people.
1t will he noticed on perusal of the chap
ter that the seventh month is designated
as the beginning OF the new year; this
would seem TO be July,
but II must be remembered
that the calendar at that time began with
March, thus making the seventh month
September. Ten days after the New
atonement. From sunset of the 10Th to
sunset OF the 18th of Septem Der. period
OF As hours. the people will neither est or
drink. BY this fast the Jews do verify
"afflict their souls" After this, on the
18th OF the month, will come what Is
known as the feast of the tabernacle.
This will last for eight days, although
the Jews will not feast all these days. 1t
will simply be succession OF holidays,
beginning with Saturday and ending
with q Saturday.

Why Old Fashioned Town
Meeting LingerS.
To Administer the Affairs of
Dexter Donation.
Took Eight Years TO Build Wall
Ar0uEd Asylum Grounds.

Recent reference to the Dexter Train
ing Ground has brought from reader OF
The NEWS a request for somo informa-
tiol about the Dexter Donation town
meeting. This town meeting as 1t is
called, Is held for the purpose OF trans
setting business in connection with the
Dexter Asylum and other property be-
queatbed by Ebenezer knight Dexter.
MIR. Dexter died in 1874, leaving large
amount OF property, including his form,
now the Dexter Asylum, TO the town OF
Providence for the benefit OF the poor of
the town. The town formally accepted
the beqnest rni undertook 10 carry out
all the conditions prescribed in the Will
and for the purpose OF facilitating the
sion wrs elected by the freemen of the
town to take entire charge OF the dona-
tion.
So long as Providence rem aimed town
tho business OF the Dexter donation was
transacted at regular town meetings, In
watch oil the freemen participated. When
Providence became city in 1882
It was deemed expedient to con-
tinue lhl town meeting, though 1t
Is. some. hing OF an anomaly, for
the purpose OF administering the affairs
of the Dexter Donation. Those meetings
are now held In the council chamber In
the city hall, and at them the commits
sioners make their report to the freemen
and the freemen elect commissioners for
the ensuing year. 1t Is very interest
ing proceeding to one who is familiar
only with modern municipal methods
and gives a pretty good idea OF how
tbinrs were done in the years gone by
when Providence was still in the country
town stage of development.

BIJOU OPERA HOUSE.

Although the recent settlement of
"a Midnight BelP' controversy did
not seem to be in Mr.. Lifts favor, ow-
ing to the big certainty he was obliged
to guarantee, yet as it is turning out,
Mr.. Lifts move was q wise one in
every respect. "a Midnight Bell"
with Digby Bell, Laura Joyce Bell and
a great cast, the Bijou's attraction for
next week opened recently at the BIZ
jou theater, Milwaukee, land as might
be expected after the big controversy,
simply did all kinds Of business Every
performance Ct the engagement was
sold out, even standing room being at
a premium. The public nowadays is
not slow to appreciate q good thing
and realizes one in the, opportunity to
witness at popular prices tsuch an ex-
cellent attraction as Hpytis "a Mid
night Bell" by far the most popular
farce that ever Mr.. Hoyt HAS written,
and what makes the ATTRACTION yet
stronger is the fact thaGsthe cast is
headed by such we'll known operate
stars as Digby Bell and his charming
wife, Laura Joyce Bell.
"a Midnight Bell'' is the most le-
ultimate comedy Mr.. Hoyt has ever
written. 1t locates its story in the
environs of New England and affords
a true picture of rural life in that dis.
trict. The scenery for the presenta-
tion here is entirely new and was
painted by that noted artist, Arthur

Francis Clarke's friends among the

the talk On the part of the Democrats.
to the effect that the Populists will
not stand by Mr. Clarke at the cleo

morning:
Il probably see more Populists in a
day than any other member of the
party in town, because / am on the
move all the time, and l have yet to
find one who will not support Mr..

stand by him to man. admit that
the Democrats may put up another
candidate. Very likely they will, but
he will be gold standard Democrat
and the silver Democrats will stand
by our candidate. See if they don't.
All this talk about the POpuliSts
wanting Clarke to withdraw is non.
sense. He will stay right in the race
and fight it out until the day of elec-
tiOn.
Mr.. Clarke. who came in just at
that time, added that the silver Re-
publicans would stand by him ALSO

livered a political talk at the hall,

from top to bottom. He spoke to a full

which is to be started at st. Cloud. 1t
is silver reform paper, which is ne
cessity in the Sixth Congressional dis
trict, and judging by his lecture here,
we believe that he is able to make it
pretty hot for the gold bugs in the dis
trict this fall. Success to you Mr..

dressed the Free Silver and Gold club

called to meet at the city assembly
hail, but owing to the large attend
ancc it was found necessary to adjourn
to the opera house TO insure sufficient
accommodations. That the audience
was held Wrapt in the closest atten-
tion to every arg m mt advanced, goes
without saying. Mr.. Twitchell gave
more sense in his short talk Of less
than an hour than the goldbug orator
from Minneapolis (W II. Eustis) who
held the platform here the previous
evening could have uttered in an all
night talk.
Mr.. Twitchell is a very worthy gen.
