DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING
A MEETING OF STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE HAS BEl.N CALLED
viii Raise Cry OF Reform In lte Canvass
Promised Some Republic Support.

A meeting of the Dem ocratic State
Central Committee has been called for
next Tuesday. The desire of the COM
mittee is to see on what basis the old and
new wings of the party can be brought to-
gether, in order to present solid front to
the enemy In the coming spring election.
IL the leaders of the old wing can weed out
the socialistic tendency which allied itself
with the Democratic party during the
Bryan campaign, the so-called gold DEM
ocrats are more than willing to come back
into the fold.
The leaders hope to win back the 1000
or more votes they lost for the sake OF
being called regular. Strenuous efforts
will be put forth to win back all those
voters who left the party when Bryan was
nominated to head the ticket. Offers have
been made to the so-called Democratic
boilers by persons calling themselves
"Anti Machine" Republicans to combine
for the purpose of revising the constitu-
tion and to overhaul the laws relative to
taxation. The strength Of the indedend-
ent vote cast In the recent election Is cited
by the Democrats as an example Of what
may be done with "Reform" as watch
word

IN THE DISTSICT COURT
JOHN DONOHUE BEFORE JUDGE
BLODGETT FOR ASSAULT.
The Other Material That Furnished the Gist
For the Wheels OF Justice.

Gloom! gloom! gloomy gloom invaded
the seat of the police tribunals this morn
ing and to the monotonous drip of the
rain drops five prisoners, also filled with
gloom and remorse, faced Judge Blodgett.
James Whalen, who registers from Bos-
ton and is a bridge builder by trade, over
estimated his capacity last night and was
corralled by Officer Cooper on Exchange
street in a 'razzle dazzle" mood; q and
costs for James.
Edward Reilley, residing in Central
Falls, was found by Officer Smith in the
wilds of Woodlawn at an early hour this
morning and was charged the usual q
and costs for intoxication.
Peter Mann is a mill operative and halls
from Fall River. Incidentally, it may be
remarked, that the police records have yet
to contain the entry of anything not mill
operative from Fall River. Peter is a
Frenchman and inclined to be normadic.
few days ago he reached Attleboro and
stopped with one, Paul Fallafori. He left
his fellow countryman the other day, and
shortly after his departure, his host missed
his Sunday shoes, in fact, he missed the
footwear considerably more than he did
Peter, who reached Pawtucket yesterday,
and after negotiating loan with pawn
broker was plus a quarter, and minus the
shoes.
While the quarter lasted Peter was free
silver man and enjoyed life, but about
midnight his funds gave out and he looked
around for bed. He rather liked the ap-
pearance of 81 Pleasant street, and pro-
ceeded to make himself at home. He was
so successful in his attempt that when the
lady of the establishment prepared to re-
tire she found her apartment invaded by a
man-Peter Mann, who was in the land of
dreams, and, who, with becoming mod
esty, had not removed his clothing, not
even his shoes. The police removed Peter
and preferred charge of vagrancy against
him this morning, and he can sleep for the
next six months, IL he desires-at Grams
ton.
Mrs. Ella Baxter, formerly Mrs. Pierce,
and prior to that Mrs. Benedict, produced
brand new five dollar silver certificate
and paid $4.60 for being hilarious on Ions
dale avenue last night.
John Donohue and James Ford had a
little "mix-up'' yesterday afternoon in the
restaurant conducted by the former, which
led to Donohue being requested to furnish
bail in the sum of 500 for his appearance
on Friday to answer charge of assault
preferred by Ford. The case is somewh hat
complicated and is of some days standing.
Donohue conducts a restaurant on Main
street, between Broad and Dexter, and
Ford, having heard that Douahue had
made statements somewhat derogatory re-
garding his financial standing, called to
talk it over, and as the argument waxed
warm, Ford claims kicked him In the
vicinity of the fifth rib causing injuries
both mental and physical. Donahue does
not entirely agree with this side of the
story and the matter will have rehearsal
on Friday morning

WANT TO- BE ANNEXED.
THE TAXPAYERS OF MARIEVILLE
DESTROYS OF JOINING THIS CITY.
Movement With That Result In View Started
Promoters Hopeful.

Residents of Marieville have awakened
to the fact that it would be to their bene-
fit to be part of the city OF Pawtucket,
and commenced negotiations to that end
today.
Ambrose Cloquet, and attorney of Gen.
tral Falls called upon the City Clerk, this
morning, and applied for the blanks used
in obtaining the names OF signers of petit
tions. Mr.. Croquet said he had been con-
suited regarding the matter, and that a
canvass Of the hamlet would be at once
made and the necessary signatures secured.
The inhabitants of Marieville are prin-
cipally French Canadians, and the general
impression seems to be that the service
and protection of the various city depart
ments would be of great advantage to the
growing district. In return for this, the
city would be large gamer in real estate.
If the annexation movement meets with
favor, the Common Council of Pawtucket
will be asked to apply to the General AS
sembly TO that end.
