Mr.. Howard had not been out of bed

WHAT THE ZINES sid.

The substance Of the Times article
is given below:
ssThe condition of Congressman w.
III. Howard. of Alabama, the author OF
IF Christ Came to Congress" on the
floor of the House yesterday afternoon,
led to several unpleasant reports, and
affored some Of those whom he pre-
viously denounced IN his book their
first opportunity to retaliate upon the
unpopular author.
ssStories were set afoat to the effect
that the Alabama representative came
to the Capitol under the influence OF
liquor, that he had to be assisted into
the chamber, where he threw himself
on sofa, and was soon wrapped IN q
drunken sIumber.
ssThese reports do not bear the light
OF investigation. Careful inquiry to-
day into the matter shows that, in
stead of being intoxicated, Mr.. How
ard is a dangerously sick man, who,
notwithstanding his physical condi-
ton, insisted on being at his post Of
duty when the final vote was taken on
the bond bill.
a Times reporter called at the Tenn
pie Hotel this morning, but Mr.. How
ard was too Ill to be seen. His wife,
however. gave the reporter full state
ment of her husbands condition. She
was naturally indignant at the charges
made against him.
HIS WIFEs EXPLANATION
sMr. Howard has been unWell for
some time she said, and returned but
4 short time ago from Alabama, where
he had gone in the hope that the trip
would prove beneficial. Wednesday
night he collapsed completely and we
had two physicians with him most q
the night.
"He is suffering from nervous
prostration, think, and am afraid
| he also has a more serious ailInent. dc

TOO weak to move

to the Capitol yesterday to vote ON thu
bond bill and DIR. Bovee finally con
scented to his doing SO, provided h'
wrapped himself UP carefully ane
made the trip in d carriage. Notwith
standing these precautions the triI
proved TOO much for him and he was
| FRUSTRATED.
at is cruel to say that he was IN
toxicated. Why, he never was drunl
IN his life, and has not been drinking
at all of late

Bovee, Mr.. Howard's physician.

ia the report that Mr.. Howard was IN

Mr.. Howard is a very sick man
| and had it not been for the silver bill
I would have prohibited his going on
yesterday. / have talked to him abou
going ON trip of two or three months
on a sailing vessel. It is absolutel,
necessary that he lay aside the care
of public life and take a complete
rest

New faces in familiar roles are con-
spicuous in the production of Rice's pop
ular burlesque, "1492, that began a
series of four farewell performances in
the Providence Opera House last evening.
To the many in the large audience that
were familiar with the spectacle, the
changes were interesting and it was the
verdict that they did not affect the de-
lights that the seemingly everlasting ia
vorite OF burlesques always furnishes. Mr..
Mark Smith as Queen Isabella, how
ever, has been seen in this part before,
and Mr.. VIII II. sloan as Ferdinand, and
in the famous tramp sketch, are among
the principals and they were an excep-
tional success where criticism is gauged
by the high standard of their predeges-
sors. "1492" without Theresa Vaughan
seems strange, TO be sure but the clever
young woman who filled her place demon
strated that there are always others. that
deserve to be stage favorites.
New specialties color the spectacles,
and there is nothing lacking in scenery.
chorus and accessories to make the fare
well productions abundantly delightful.
The scheme of the extravaganza always
offers something new, and almost every
thing that is old about it seems to grow
better with age. II ploases the eve al
ways the music is fetching and familiarity
with 1t makes it the more pleasant, while
the It'd bits of fun, the variety show and
the Kaleidoscope novelties are hardly less
a constant surprise with their repetition
for successive seasons. The crowded house
last evening attested the perennial popu-
larity of "1492" and indicates that the re-
naming three opportunities TO enjoy it
in Providence viii not be lost by an
amusement-loving public.

EDGEFIELD BOTTLED UP.
The south Carolina and Georgia
shuts Out the Gap Road.

Augusta, Ga. April 1.-The little town
of Edgefield, S. c., one of the most ia
NOUS places in that state, found itself
without railroad facilities and suddenly
cut Off from the outside world this morn
ing. A number of men from there who
were present at the Crisp-Smith debate
last night found themselves without rail-
road facilities for getting home. The
cause of the suspension is given as fol-
lows: About three years ago the Carolina,
Cumberland Gap and Chicago road, gener-
ally known as the Gap road, went into
the hands of a receiver. The receiver,
Mr. Herbert, leased it to the South Caro-
lima and Georgia, the lease to be termi-
thirty days notice. The Cap road was
then operated in conjunction with the
South Carolina and Georgia, twenty-four
miles on their track, TO Aiken. then to Au-
gusta, sixteen miles on the South Carolina
and Georgia tracks. Two years ago a bad
wreck occurred on the Gap" road
near Edgefeld, in which Mr.. Weatherford
and two negroes were killed, and Messrs.
Parker and Hair were badly hurt. Suits
for damages were brought against the
South Carolina and Georgia by Croft &
Tillman for these parties. The first suit,
that of Parker VS.. the South Carolina and
Georgia. was decided recently in favor of
the plaintiff Then the Cap road was
sold by order of court and the bOndholders
bought it in. The South Carolina and
Georgia entoned the Gap" authorities
from confirming the sale because of the
damage suits pending. 1t is supposed that
all these things caused the South Carolina
and Georgia 10 take the action 1t did last
night. 1t was a great surprise 10 the peo-
PIE of Edgefield and Aiken. The Gap
road had only one engine, old one and
this was turned over to them without coal
and they were helpless In addition they
were notified that they could not use a
foot of South Carolina and Georgia track.
The W at Aiken extends from the South
Carolina and Georgia track and conse-
quently the Gap" engine could not turn
around, that is II she had the coal to do
il with. AS il is now the people Of Edge
field have no railroad or mail facilities. To
reach that town from Augusta one must
90 to Trenton on the Southern and drive
thence eight miles
