MUST GET OUT.
Belle Blanchard ordered TO Leave
the State.
Keeps House Of Ill-Repute, and Has Re-
ceiyed Stolen Goods.

Belle Blanchard, who has conducted a
house Of ill-repute for many years in
this city, must, upon the order of Chief
of Police Baker, pack up her effects and
get on the other side of the State line, or
take chances of being convicted OF the
crime of receiving stolen goods.
Early in 1894 the home Of Mrs. nj. s.wii-
son, 1864 Washington street, Boston, was
robbed of $500 worth of goods, and
man named Sullivan was arrested and
convicted OF doing the job.
He also said that he sold all of the stun
to Belle Blanchard of this city for $50.
Officer Lynch of Boston and Detective
Parker went to the house and made a
thorough search but could not find any
traces OF the stolen goods.
A short time after that Sullivan con-
fessed that he he'd broken into anot her
house In Boston and the goods ne had
stolen he had sold TO Miss Blanchard.
The house was searched for the second
time, but u othing was found.
A few months ago one Of the inmates
of Miss Blanc charo's house went to Boston,
told the police there that Miss Blanchard
did purchase the stolen goods from Sui
livan and that they were stored away.
On Oct. 8 Detective Parker was called
upon to apprehend Eastha IA. Parker VINO
house. Mr.. Parker went to the house,
and was told that Miss Parker had been
there until Monday of that week, but
had gone to Boston. Miss Blanchard
requested MIR. Parker to exousB her and
she would learn just where Miss Parker
had gone. She left the room, went
down stairs where she saw Miss Parker
and told her to get out of the way which
she did. Yesterday Detectives Parker
and NickeTson called az the house in
search OF Miss Parker, and searched and
succeeded in finding her. When she was
taken to the city hall she said that she
was in the bouse when the detective
cslleu before.
When in.the yard Mr.. Parker and Nick
erson began to poGe boxes ana barrels,
about, and they succeeded In finding
basket between the outhouso and the
fence which contained four valuable
vases, pitcher valued at $40. and a
piece OF statuary. Mrs. Wilson of Boston
was notified and she came to the city
today and identified her property.
Chief Baker says owing to the fact
that Sullivan is serving term In the
Massachusetts states prison ii would re-
quire some trouble in getting him into
the State and he was satisfied to LET the
matter rest; the Blanchard woman will
leave town. IL not he will push the mat
ter. Miss Blanchard's present residence
is at 81 Mathewson street.

THE BASEBALL ASSOCIATION.
Important Meeting to BE Held at the
Narragansett Tonight.

A special meeting of the Providence
Baseball Company will be held at the
Narragansett Hotel this evening. The
object OF the meeting is to enable the d.
rectors TO discuss the financial condition
of the club and to decide whether addi-
tional stock TO the amount Of 5000 shall
be issued or not.
The raising OF this question is due to
the fact that the stockholders will soon
be called upon to decide whether II VIII
be more advantageous TO procure new
bali grounds than to repair the old. For
some time the directors OF the club have
been expecting an order TO vacste the
land on which the grounds are situated.
The owners have talked Of cutting the
tract into house lots ana of running q
street through the diamond. Each year
the directors haze feared that the threat
would be carried out, and the prospect
this year is more discouraging than ever
before, as the club, IL 1t obtains the lease
for another year, will be compelled to
expend nearly $1,000 on the grounds to
put it into condition for another year,
while the expenditure OF thousand or
two more would enable them to build
new grounds in a more convenient local
ity.
That has always been one of the faults
to be found with the present location.
it was not convenient and it is for this
reason that many OF the directors be-
lieve that it would be a good business
venture to remove the groun DIS before
they are compelled to move, and to Sc
lect another site at some place where
the street car accommodations are better
and where the business men can reach it
more easily.
AT any rate, this is the question that is
to be brought before the directors at
the meeting tonight, and many believe
that another season will find the Grays
winning the championship on a new
grounds.

In PRINTERS HANDS.
City Clerk Has Sent In Manuscript
for Ballots.
Total Number Ordered for Coming Elec-
lion is 63,720.

The city clerks manuscript for the
tion has gone to the printer today, and 1t
is now too late for any candidates to
change their minds and withdraw. Any
nominee elected to office one week from
today against his will may have the
privilege of resigning, but he must be
voted for first.
The number OF ballots to be- printed
this year is less than that required year
ago, thanks TO change in the election
law. The old provision was that for
every so voters, or fraction of 30, there
must be 100 ballots prepared. That is, to
illustrate by an extreme case, II there
were 81 voters, 200 ballots would have TO
be printed, and no more than that for 100
voters. The present law requires that 90
ballots shall be printed for every 90 voters
or fraction thereof.
There will be Al different kinds OF bal
lots, two sets for each district; with the
general ticket, of course, the same on all I;
the property ballot differing in each
ward for council tickets, and then still
another change for each district on the
clerk and warden ballot.
Thetotai number ordered by City
Clerk Clarke, EXCLUSIVES of specimen bal
lots. 10 63, 720. The First District of the
Sixth Ward requires the largest number,
having 1920 property and 1900 registry
ballots. The Third District. of the Third
Ward requires the least, having ESQ
