CRANSTON.
Oath of Mr.. Aldricb, an Old and Promi-
nent CiliZen.


Mr.. William ii, A. Aldrich, one of the
Oldest residents OF Knightsville and
among the most esteemed of Cranston's
citizens, died this morning st o'clock.
Death was not due to any malady, but
en- expected emo as result of old age.
Cranston Hank that occupied quarters in
the hotel now known as the Nsfrsgansett
Hotel, opposite town hall. Generous to
fault, kind In bis intercourse with fell
low men, his death is iamentoo by all
who knew him. The deceased leaves no
family, having never been married. Re
was assessed for 5000 real estate and
$3.50, 900 personal property.
by very wise provision two large
catch basins are being built at the juno
tior of Cranston street and Burnham
avenue. BY the change OF grade on Grams
ton street that street will slope from the
east snd from the west toward Burnham
avenue. This change OF grade will make
Burnham avenue the drain for basin
OF large area. How TO conduct so large a
body OF water TO Spectacle pond wit hout
doing damage to property bordering on
the street was perplexing question; but
was ingeniously solved by the suggestion
OF catch basins.
A basin Is being built on each side OF
Burnham avenue near the junction. These
basins ara seven feet deep by four feet In
area. They are connected by 1s-inch pipes
with the openings in the cutters on
Cranston street. The earth into which
these basins are sunk in composed largely
OF sand, so that he water will be rapidly
absorbed.
1t is thought that two more basins
similar in structure will be buIi on
Burnham avenue near the railroad bridge
to catch part OF the large dow that
runs along tho railroad EN- bankment.

POLICEMEN AS CARPENTERS.
A Protest to the Supervisors Against
Their Being So Employed.

Protest to the Supervisors Against
Their Being So Employed.
The Carpenters unions of this CITY,
represented by their district council, have
decided to raise a big protest against the
employment of policemen as carpenters
In repairing the several police stations.
Ever since there has been police force in
this City patrolInen have been taken off
their beats to repair lockers, make and
mend benches and do other work for
which carpenters should be employed. OF
late years one patrolman has been Ike pt
constantly employed in this manner, and
at times several have been called off the
streets to manipulate the plane and ham,
mer.
at present besides the regular police
carpenter, George Russell, it is said that
several officers are carpentering, partic-
uiarly IN lifting up the Harbor police sta
ton. Several Of the memb bers of the Dis
trlct Council had their attention called TO
inns, and committee was appointed to
LOOK into the matter. Committe teeman Nc
Cartney called upon the Chief and the
Police Commissioners and was informed
tnat the police stations are in constant
need OF repairs. However, they said the
supervisors had never appropriated any
money Tor the payment of regular car
penter, SO the work had to be done by q
police officer.
At the meeting last evening the COM
mlttee was instructed to prepare and pre-
sent to the Supervisors petition that
sufficient money be set aside for the pay
ment OF journeyman carpenter to pre-
iorm TINS kind of work in the police sta
tlons. In the petition attention will be
called to the fact that the City is none too
well patroiied by police and even more
o1hcers should be appointed. Every
Policeman should be on duty protecting
llVes and property and not manipulating
a lackplane and hanging doors. Atten-
uon is called to the fact that there are not
few competent carpenters out of work
who should have the opportunity of earn
Ing living. Carpenters will work for So Ia
oay or $50 month. The same work cost
tne CITY over $102 month when it is done
by policeman

Mrs. 0. j. Marble, who has milk ranch

with two footpads that will last her for a
lifetime.
She had been visiting friends in the City,
and was driving home in her buggy be-

Fifteenth avenue two young men stepped
In front of her horse and ordered her to
pull up" Before she could do so one of
them seized the horse by the bride and
brought it up with sharp turn.
The other stepped up to the now thor
oughly frightened woman, and, pointing a
revolver at her head. said: Hand out all
the money you have in your pocket" She
nearly tainted when she saw the revolver,
and implored the footpad not to shoot.
well, hurry up and give US your money" !"
