1t would be neither fair nor just to the

tax for their use. Owners of private carri-
ages are now required TO take out a
license, but no fee is charged, and there
is no valid reason why the owner OF a

Senator Beane'S Bill to
License Bicycles.

Strong Opposition.
How Police Regard Charley Smith.
Fight With a Madman.

Two or three weeks ago the Gossipe-
noted the fact that the marked increase
In the mum Der OF accidents resulting from
the careless or reckless riding OF bicycles
had led to the suggestion that bicyciists
De compelled to take .out a license and
have their wheels numbered. This sug-
gestion seems to have chrystalized into q
bill which Senator Beape of Johnston has
framed for presentation to the General
Assembly at its present session at New
port. This measuve, it is understood,
imposes license fee of ~ on every person
using a bicycle, and for this reason 1t is
pretty certain to meet with very vigorous
opposition. Mr. Beane's bill goes further
than was contemplated by the gentleman
who first suggested the licensing of
wheelmen, In that 1t calls for a fee. and
for this reason II Is not likely to prove
satisfactory either TO riders or to others
who, while believing that the use Of the
wheel in public and crowded thorough
fares should be so restricted as TO reduce
the liability OF accident TO the minimum,
DO not think a tax should be levied in
order to accomplish that result.

At the north east corner OF Thayer and
Meeting streets there stands a modest
two story and half house on the second
floor of which there occurred little
more than nine years ago, a shocking
murder followed by one of the most des-
perate struggles between madman and a
policeman that has ever taken place in
Providence. In this house Mt that time
their resided colorsd family named
Jackson, who had as q boarder Mr.. jack
sons nephew. Edward Turner. Mr.. jack
son was an invalid, aud bad for long
time been confined to his bed by heart
disease and dropsy. During his Illness
members OF the Lincoln association took
turns in watching with him, and on the
23d OF March, 1877, jt came Mr.. John &.
Rovelto's turn to perform that humane
service. Partolnan James Ash then and
now connected with the Third station,
was on that beat and abovt 2 o'clock in
the morning he heard cries OF ''murder"
from the Jackson tenement. Hurrying
nephew, powerful negro, pounding
Rovelto's head to Jelly on the threshold
OF the door TO the chamber III which
Jackson lay sick, helpless and almost dy-
ing. The officer grappled with Turner
and terrible struggle ensucd. The
negro fought with The fury OF a mad
man. Every article he could lay his
head, among other things large sized
glass water jug, which he seized from a
side board and smashed on the otiicer's
forehead. Gradually the officer forced
his antagonist into the hallway, where
there was nothing that could be used as
weapon. There Patrolman Ash sue
ceeded in getting bis twistsrs on Turner's
wrist but they were shattered in
moment, and another fierce battle en-
sued. Eventually neignbors came to tho
officers assistsnce,an Turner WAS placed
in cell at the Third station. During
this fearful struggle Mr. Rovelto expired
from the awful pounding he had received
at the hands OF the maniac, Turner. The
suffering Jackson was SO wrought upon
by the frightful scenes enacted before
him that he expired not very long after
the murder Of the man who had met his
death while rendering q Christian SER
vice.

1t Will be big thing for Providence
should the contemplated substitution OF
electricity for steam power on the Fall
River ana BRISTOL road materialize. With
the terminus Oft road at eF-Heaf- the
Weybosset Bridge IN this city there would
be vast increase in the travel from the
City OF Spindles to Providence. Indeed,
the effect would be TO very largely increase
the business OF local merchants and to
divert TO Providence very large part OF
the tpade of Fall River which now goes
to Boston. 1t has always been a matter
OF disappointment that this CITY has been
to great extent shut out from the trade
OF Fall River, but this was due mainly to
the unfortunate location OF the station
here. III when the Fall River ~ Bristol
Railroad was first constructed a way had
been found to make the terminus at the
Union station on Exchange place, Provi-
aepee would today enjoy the bulk of the
Spindle City's patronage.

The Golf WaistcOut.

FROM Harper s BaZr.
The girls heads are now full of plans for
Christmas presents, and, after mature de-
liberation, they have finally hit upon a new
idea. Tired Of knitting golf stockings, and
yet not willing to give up making some
thing to be worn while playing their be-
. loved game they are making golf waist
coats for their fathers, brothers and others
Of the masculine sex.
1t is rather i difficult task to tell how
these waistcoats are made. The back of
the garment is cut out and made of satin
the two fronts are worked on heavy canvas
In regular cross-stitch, first in heavy silk
and then worked over in worsted. The
worsted is the n cut and frayed out little
to form soft woolly surface. AT the West
chester Country Club the other day a girl
was making beauty, as she sat before
big log fire. 1t was worked first in yellow
silk. and the worsted covering was. of black
Needless to say that the youth for whom
this warm and practical Christmas present
is destined Is Princeton man.
Some of the girls have tried making these
'watstcoats for themselves. but of course
hot of such heavy materials. They look
very well and smart under a cutaway
jacket.
