work for S150. The defendant claims
that he simply took the pIaintifr with
him To the Office of the inspector of
buildings, and be never did or intended
to let the latter tho job. In further ex-
planation of wnat took place at the city
hall the defendant claimed he misunder-
stood the question put to him by the

asked the business of Harris and not the
name of the contractor that was tn do the
work.

RHODE ISLAND TWINS.

An Oyster and . Quahaug Joined After
the Manner Of Chang and Eng.
Oysters have q we'll known habit of
attaching themselves to any object they
may come in contact with in the water.
An old shoe or boot, bottle, another
oyster, or o small quahaug are familiar
examples. but In almost every instance
where an oyster and quahaug are found
grown to each other one is much smaller
than the other. Exceptions to this rule
are 80 uncommon that when an oyster
man of Pawtuxet found an oyster and q
quahaug attached to each other and Of
the same size the oldest olammers and
oystermen in Pawtuxet said they had
never seen the like before.
The oyster was large one, at least
or years old, and the quahaug to which
1t was attached at the hinge Of the she'll
was within year Of the same age and
had also attained it's full growth. Both
bivalves were handsome specimens, and
both were alive. The two, united yet
separate. were placed on exhibition in
the window of Green's fish market,
where large part Of the male popula-
ton Of the village assembled ct. some
time during the day or evening. There
they were viewed by men Of experience
in the handling Of quahaugs and oys.
ters, who all said they had never seen
another instance where O full grown
oyster and quahaug had united.
Now, alas, only the shells remain to
tell the tale Of this natural curiosity !!
Fred Remington, clerk in the market,
opened both bivalves last week and ex-
tracted the meat without breaking the
hinges or separating the shells. With
the edges Of each shell slightly apart,
showing the interior. the two are more
of a curiosity than before. Providence

Of colored glass bricks has been plan
ned to be built at Newport Tor Rs6dho,

not yet permitted to disclose the name
Of the prospective owner Of this uniqne
architectural oddity-frst, because he
Is still abroad, and, second, because cer-
tain details Of construction have not yet
been determined. a8 M
This building, which will be design.
cd somewhat after the style Of an old
Pompeiian palace, Is to be begun during
the winter. On account Of the elaborate
ness of the design and the great care
and skill required in the construction
Of the building, it will not be completed
under two years. The architects say
that the ground plan Of the house will
in some respects resemble that Of the
house of Pansa, familiar to readers Of
"The Last Days of Pompeii. The
bricks will be Of various sizes. shapes
and colors, and the effect will be of an
oriental richness which will defy de-
scriptioD.
This will be the first residence in the
world constructed Of ruch material and
ON these lines. II is to be built in the
form of a square inclosing an open
court, inside of which fountain will
play. BY means Of electric lights, with
many colored globes concealed at the
source of the fountain, the water will
fall in shower Of varioolored hues. 1t
is said that the owner Of this fountain
contemplates on certain occasions hav-
ing perfumed water flow from the foun-
tain, thus scenting the entire court,
and ON occasions Of festivity oontinu-
ous current Of California wine Of his
own vintage will flow from the pitcf or

How the Next Assembly Win Be
Apportioned.

The New Orleans States, in
speaking of the resolution adopted
by the recent Democrats. Conven.
ton. says:
ssOne of the most interesting and
important acts of the Democratic
Convention at Shreveport was the
adoption of new basis of appor.
tionment. A year ago the States
said that the discussion of that sub
ject would engage a great deal Of
the attention of Democrats when the
convention met and the prediction
was then made that an apportion.
ment based on population was likely
to be adopted and would sprove of
great satisfaction. Nearly every
delegate who has returned to the
city expresses his satisfaction with
the new apportlonment as one which
is fair and which is likely to put a
stop to the continual kicking that
has been going on in the country,
with respect to the basis of represen-
tation. Country members are, as a
rule, pleased, and the Fifth District
people are, of course, delighted, for
they made the fight for the new APP
portionment and In the next conven-
ton they will have something like
the representation to which their
loyalty to the party entities them.
1t will be a matter of considera-
BILE interest to show what each
parish Will be entitled to in the
event that the committee should lay
down plan of awarding one dele
gate to each 1880 people, with an
additional delegate for fractions
over 1900. This is how the roll
would stand:
