Gratis and Populists Of Kansas have
practically effected fusion of interest in
the coming election. Since Tuesday

tlcally no opposition. the Populist NOM
inee for governor. J. NJ. Leedy, was NOM

STRUCK BY A TROLLEY CAR.
An East Providence Woman Has a Narrow
Escape In This Ci,y.

Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. DIR. r. p.
Eddy OF East Providence, drove TO
Greenvilie with her daughter, Miss Hope
Eddy, who is to pass part of her vaca-
tion at that place. Mrs. Eddy was re-
turning about z O'Clock last evening and
drove down North Main street. She
held up at the foot OF Bowen street TO
allow an electric car TO pass. She then
turned to cross the street to enter Bowen
street, put JAILED to notice another car,
which was close hind the one that
passed her. This car crashed into the
buggy, breaking of one wheel and let
ting the carriage down. The horse,
which is a spirited roadster, ran a short
distance, throwing Mrs. Eddy from the
carriage. She. was taken up and carried
into a drug store near by, where restora-
tives were administered, and later car
rage was procured and she was taken to
her home in East Providence, whore 1t
was found she was quite severely injured
about the spine, in addition to receiving
a serious shock to her nervous system.
The horse was captured and il was found
to be so seriously injured in one OF its
hind feet that il is quite doubtful II it
will ever be of much service. The buggy
was badly broken.

weeks ago, because his wife claimed he
had abused her. and also threatened her

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 7.-Michael
Il. McNulty, formerly proprietor of the
Eureka Cafe, and widely known with his
brother, z. Ii. McNulty, also an owner
of several liquor stores in this city, dis
appeared from his usual haunts about a
week ago, and anxious creditors have
been looking for him ever since. 1t
transpired that just before McNulty left
town he had sold the Eureka Cafe for
5000. At the same time there was said
to be considerable money TO his account
at the Pocasset Bank. On the day after
his departure checks 10 the amount of
several thousand dollars were sent to the
Bank from Providence. This .eit the
MoNulty accounts rather slim.
Attachments upon the EcNulty
property were promptly nled, and since
then there have been all sorts of rumors.
The latest sensation was the presentation
of a note by the Massasoit Bank for pay
iDent OF 5000 to one Fremont, Ver-
mont man, said TO be the price Of piece
of real estate. This note was endorsed
Patrick III. and Thomas +. Nc
Nulty. The last named is a contractor,
formerly policeman, snd the three are
brothers. When the note came to light
Thomas +. McNulty promptly declared
that be mad signed no such papers, and
Patrick McNulty has not been seen in
this city for several DAYS, whether his
name and that OF the other brother are
forged could not be learned.
Meanwhile u. III. McNulty's saloon
has been sold and things are very much
muudled. Captain Timothy Hurly and
III. Daley, Boenm Il Co of New York
and many tradesmen are named among
McNulty's creditors.
Michael McNulty was widely known
among the sporting fraternity in this
vicinity. He married the oldest daugh hter
OF the late John Campbell, who had
amassed considerable fortune in the
liquor business. 1t is said that Mrs. Nc
Nulty has advanced $40, 600 for use in her
husbands business. The arrest in Bos-
ton created big sensation in this city
where McNulty's affairs have been dis
cussed with keen interest for fortnight.
About $3.50 o'clock this morning the
man was brought tefore Cap:ain Cain
for examination. The captain ordered the
prisoner to place his money in The savings
bank for safe keeping. McNulty agreed
to do tbs, and an officer was sent TO see
that he fulfilled his agreement. The bank
officials refused to accept this money
without the written consent OF Captain
Cain or without his giving security for
the receipt given McNulty for his roll.
The officer and his prisoner bad scarcely
returned to the station house when the
telegram from the Fall River authorities
to hold McNulty was received. McNuIty
stated that he came here in search OF his
wife. whom, he believes, is stopping at a
down town hotel lie heard the new
charge with indifference, appearing like
a man who had ceased to care for conse-
quences as long as he has had his 1un.
This afternoon the prisoner was returned
to Fall River.
