the nut the general officers trying to
crack. They made little progress this after
noon.

SUTTON'S RESTAURANT.
Mr.. Harrington, the New Proprietor, Will
Keep Up Tvs Repute.

Sutton's at No. 55 Weybosset street has been
regarded as one of the foremost restaurants
in the city. IL gained this enviable reputation
under the veteran restaurateur, Mr.. j. A.
sutton so long and favorably known in this
city. Mr.. sutton has now retired and has
been succeeded by Mr.. Walter h. Harrington.
who also has an established reputation in the
same line. Mr.. Harrington fol- long time
conducted a restaurant on weybos5et street
opposite the Narragsnsett Hotel, whore the
excellence OF the fare furnished aud tho
superior service provided were recognized,
and attracted very large and substantial
patronage. In his new enterprise, Mr. Har-
rington will not only keep up the well-earned
reputation for excellence In every respect that
Sutton's has enjoyed, but his enterprise ana
energy are certain 60 result in additional
facilities for the promotion of the comfort
and pleasure of patrons. As heretofore, only
articles of the finest quality will be served,
while the cooking VIII be unexcelled any
where in the city. The service will continue
OF the best, for Mr.. Harrington's corps OF
assistants are careful, intelligent and. like
their employer, ever reaGy to conserve the
pleasure. convenience and comfort of patrons.
Under Mr.. Harrington's able management
this restaurant is certain TO increase in popu-
lar favor, and to continue in the leading place
IL has so long occupied among the eating
establishments OF Providence.

THE VERDICT.
Ordered by Judge Colt in
U. S. Circuit Court.
1t Was in Favor of Church
Against Proctor.
Outcome of Illegal Packing of Fish
for Food Supply.

This morning in the United States
Circuit Court Judge Colt directed the jury
to find a verdict for the defendants in the
suit for damages fer breach of contract
The suit was brought in the sum of S20,-
COO
The cause of the trouble dates back to
August 3, 1888, When Church agreed to
sell Proctor and deliver TO Stills wharf at
Tiyerton, Il. l., as many barrels of men,
haden at one dollar per barrel as he,
Proctor, might need during the slivering
season OF 1883.
Proctor claimed he needed 90 600 barrels
OF fish in his business that season, and
that the difference between the contract
price and the market Price OF the fish was
81 per barrel.
Mackerel We're scarce and Proctor's pur-
pose was two fold in obtaining these
menhaden. He proposed Just to pack
them in barrels and pals and sell them
for food fish, and secondly to pack and
sell part of them tor bait.
On August . the contract was broken
after Church had delivered about 40 bar
reIs of fish. Proctor and his men, how
ever, stayed at Tverton until Oct IL,
during which time he packed about 500
barrels of split, or slivered fish, branded
Alaska Mackerel, Russian Mackerel, Fam
lily White Fish or any name that the pur-
chaser might elect.
During the packing of the 800 barrels
of differently branded fish Proctor failed
to conform TO the statute law of Rhode
Island respecting the packing OF fish, but
excused himself on thu plea of ignoraence
of the statute.
The case was first tried by the United
States Circuit Court in November, 1893,
and q verdict was rendered for the plain
tiff. 1t was taken by writ of error To the
circuit court of appeals. In reversing the
judgmelt { and ordering a new trial that
court held that the branding of menhaden
as Alaska mackerel and other like mis-
leading brands was an imposition and
fraud upon the public and in violation of
law, independently of the Rhode Island
statute and that no damage could be re-
covered under this contract, and no ac-
tion maintained covering any period in
which Proctor contemplated or was &C
tually engaged In placing upon the mar
ket nenhaden TO be used as food fish un-
der false, deceptive and misleading
brands.
The case was then returned 10 the Unit
ed states Circuit Court ana from Proc
tors own testimony he admits his pur-
pose to have been to pack and ship men
haden in manner forbidden by the
Rhode Island statute at the time the con-
tract was made, and further admitted
that he carried out this purpose from
August until Oct. IL, 1883, when he left
the State.
IL was upon this point, this purpose to
make an illegal use OF the law, that Judge
Colt directed the jury TO lind verdicrt
for Church. Proctor's ignorance of the
law was no excuse.

CHICAGO ROBBED.
Dishonest Officials Secure thousands Of
Dollars by Forgery.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Times Herald
today says: Thousands OF dollars have
been filched from the city treasury
through clever scheme concoted by
three tax sharks, clerk in the comp
troller's office and another in the special
assessment bureau. The steal was ac-
complished by forging special assessment
tax receipts. IL is another grab at the
special assessment fund, and while it is
not known Just how much money has
been obtained, IL is possible that go, 600
or $4,000 slipped out of the peoples
vaults before the conspirators were de-
tected. Investigation has already de
velopsd that they have obtained at least
$1,000. Neither comptroller Wetberell,
City Treasurer Wolf nor Chief of Police
Badenoch will give the names of those
implicated i'm the fraud. The tax sharks
have been located IL Is probable that
several arrests OF those connected in the
matter will be made today"

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
Strong Efforts 10 Be Made TO Increase
Their Compensation.

WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Strong efforts
will be made by the House committee on
postoffices and post roads to secure the
passage by the House OF bill to increase
the compensation OF railway mail clerks.
The first hill introduced IN this Con.
gress was one by Mr.. Linton Of Michigan,
to reorganize this branch of the service
and the committee has directed Mr.. Lin
ton TO report the bill favorably. BY its
provisions the number of classes in the
service on salary ais, is increased from
five to ten and salaries Of clerks range
from $500 TO $500. The proposition TO
have two per cent. OF the salaries with
held TO establish pension fund was
Withdrawn, as IL was feared that the OPP
position to pensonis I'm the House might
endangcr the whole bill.
Reliable statistics show that the NOR
tality among railway mail clerks through
railway accidents is greater than that
among the troops in the civil war.

lowing platform which was unanimously
adopted bX the conventions:
The Democratic party congratulates the
people OF this STATE that owing to our
continued and incessant demand for a
revision of the Constitution the party in
power has been driven to sec the impera-
tive need of a change in our fundamental
law. The Democratic party, however,
demands a revision OF the Constitution by
the representatives of the people duly
chosen for that purpose, and not by com
missions appointed by the party in
power The scheme of the party now in
power Is only TO retain power and more
surely fasten upon the State corporation
rule.
We deprecate the recklesseness and law
ish expenditures Of the public money by
the party now in power in this State. and
remind the people that the present condi-
tion of the finances OF the State is a re-
newed warning that the power to spend
the public moneys should be taken from
the present hands, which have already led
the State to the verge of bankruptcy.
We demand rev sion of the jnequitable
tex laws of this State. 1t has become
apparent that the continuance in power
of one party for SO many years has Ied to
the gross abuses which can be cured only
by change of party administration. and
we pledge the people that IL elected the
candidates of the Democratic party will
benefit Of the whole people of the State
and not for a few.
In the lull which followed the adoption
OF the platform the dea of selecting ma
tional delegates today cropped up again
and the harmony of the convention was
on the ragged edge OF chaos for few min
utes that seemed as hours TO the manag-
ers. Delegate Mccarthy of the Third
Ward moved that the delegates be chosen
today and John O'Connor of the Eighth
Mard, Providence, seconded the motion.
A lively discussion fol owed but mo-
tion to table MIR. McCarthy's motion
prevailed and DIR. Garvin of Cumberland
was asked to make a speech IN order to
kill time and prevent any more uncom-
Portable suggestions while the convention
awaited the arrival of the nominees to
give thanks for the honors conferred.
The convention waited an hour for
NJ essrs. Dorney and Greene to find the
nominees and notify them. Then sec
ond committee was appointed to find the
first one and a few minutes later all re-
turned and informed the delegates that
the candidates ere grateful and would ac-
cept in writing.
