The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1896-12-16

This action looks very peculiar to many
people, e. it ID well known that they have
power to Judge for themselves In this mat
ter. II seems to many that they ought to
order hearing upon the matter and con-
slider the testimony which the police de-
partment 10 willing to give. 1t looks rather
as IL they were dodging the issue under
cover of the recent decision OF the Ap-
pellate Court. The TRIBUNE was compli-
mented by the members of the board for
it's accurate statements in respect to the
business for which the meeting was called.
The Dawson Tournament.
Two more frames were played in the
pool tournament which is In progress un-
der the auspices of the Dawson Club. The
following Is the record of the scores made
last evening: Frank Gooding, 100; Louis
Crawford, 81. In the second game Edgar
Oldham scored 100, and Robert Cummings
scored 80. This was the closest game OF
the tournament and aroused much interest.
At the Congregatiol Church.
The second lecture in the series which Is
being given by w. w. Littlefeld at the
Congregational Church, was delivered last
evening, and Notwithstanding the in
clement weather a good sized audience
was present. The subject chosen for last
| evening was "The Homes and Haunts OF
the Pilgrims in England" The subject
was treated in a masterly manner, and the
vivid descriptive powers of the speaker
deeply interested those present. Mr..
Littlefield has very pleasing manner In
| illustrating the strong points in his narra-
tives, which adds much interest to the
.oI of 40
Grand Rounds.

evening, and routine business was the
| order of the evening. The subject of at
| tending the funeral of w. o. Brown in
| body was brought up, and 1t was explained

| no display would be made. The Post de-
| cided to respect the wishes expressed, and
will attend the funeral as private indi-
| yiduals. 1t was voted to send a floral
Offering as tribute of respect from his

Laid to Rest.
The funeral of William o. Brown was
soiemnized this afternoon from his late
| residence on East street. The various
| societies of which he was a member were
represented individually, as Mrs. Brown
| was not favorably disposed toward soci-
| ety funeral. Services were conducted at
the house by Rev. George p. Perry OF the
Broad Street Baptist Church. Prayer was
| offered, and the reverend gentleman pic
tured the happy life spent by the deceased
| and laid great stress upon his earnestness
| in church work. A quartet from the
Broad Street Baptist Church rendered
| touching selections in accord with the
| solemnity of the occasion. Four nephews
| of the deceased acted as bearers, and the
| interment was at Oak Grove cemetery.
