committee on the Fifth Ward school
house met last evening, but failed to
award the contract. For an hour the
committee held meeting behind bolted
DOORS II is understood that one OF the
committee objected to the lowest bidder,
Mr.. Murphy, getting the contract be-
cause he did not deal from a certain firm
in town. This policy has been pursued
by the committee from the start. In
stead OF inviting architects to submit
plans, they hired man right out and
now ii looks as II the contract would tie
given out irrespective Of the lowest bids.
Newport tradesmen are disgusted.
Should the COMMITTEES ignore the lowest
bidders, it Is rumored that an injunction
will be placed on the building pending
an explanation for such an action.
The Board of Aldermen made an official
count OF the ballots cast for the Assembly

resulting. They began the count at 10

The Story Of DR.. William r. White
Who Attended the Victim.
Coroner Lincoln Goes 10 Hospital TO Take
MOrse's Ante-MOrtem Statement.

Harry Morse, horse jockey 80 years
old, is dying at the Rhode Island Hos
pitsl as the result of injuries received last
Tuesday and great deal OF mystery sur
rounds the case. The only statement
which the police have to work on was
one made by Morse himself while In a
drunken condition on the day of the as
sault. He said that he had been assaulted
at Rowan's stable In the rear of Westmin-
ster street, near Stewart, by borse trainer
named Fred Carpenter, WHO, he said,
kicked him in the stomach and bit him on
the head with heavy whip handle. his
internal injuries and an abrasion on the
forehead substantiate this statement SO far
as the nature OF the assault was con-
cerned.
The only reliable story In connection
with the affair which has been told is
that of DIR. William X. White OF Green
street. He said today that at / o'cloI k
Tuesday afternoon be was called TO At
tend a man at 27 Cottage sreet and there
he found Morse suffering from both the
effects of blows received on head and
liquor. He dressed his wounds which
at the time were not considered TO be
erious, but this forenoon his condition
was so much worse that DIR. White
ordered him removed to the Rhode Island
Hospital where he has received constant
attention from DR.. Mitchell. But there
is no hope for his recovery, and this af-
ternoon coroner Liacoln has been called
to take his anti-mortem statement. The
police first heard of the affais this after
noon.
The story tod by neighbors on Cottage
street and which they say was told by
Morse on the DAY he was brought home
by drunken companion is tnat last
Tuesday forenoon he went to Rowan's
stable to collecr bill of $40, which Car
penter owed him for services as a jockey,
aud that a row over the bill followed,
which resulted in the assault by Carpen-
ter.
