A COMMENDABLE CHARITY
MANY ORPHAN CHILDREN PLACED
IN GOOD HOMES IN THIS CITY.


One OF the most firmly established char
tiles of the Catholic Church Is the rearing
and care of the orphan children, placed In
its charge and the attention of those of
that religion in Pawtucket and Central
Falls have been attracted to this worthy
branch of charitable work by the recent
visitations of Mr.. Lynch, the visiting
agent of the Home for Destitute Catholic
children of Boston. The visits made to
Central Falls and Pawtucket by this gem
tlemap have been remarkably successful,
as he has placed 10 orphans in Holy Trim
ity Parish and 20 In st. Joseph's. Next
Sunday Mr.. Lynch will again visit St.
Joseph's Church and anticipates that he
will find homes for 100 orphans i'm the city
parishes within short space of time. The
children who have been given homes in
this vicinity are remarkably bright and
intelligent.
Mr.. Lynch has been connected with this
branch of tho work for the past six years
and has been remarkably successful In Sc
curing pleasant homes for his charges.
Mr.. Lynch was born in South Carolina
and Is the nephew of the late Bishop Lynch
of Charleston, he was educated in France
and is lawyer by profession. Mr.. Lynch
is member Of the Knights of Columbus
and OF the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion. H5h
Previous to his trips to this city, Mr..
Lynch located over 60 orphans in Taunton.
In the years of his service for the Asylum
he has been remarkably fortunate in not
having the children meet with an accident
of any sort while they were under his
charge. The work he promotes is certain
ly worthy of encouragement. -~.

MANY ASPIRAN'FS
Candidates For Position Of
Attorney General.
Willard B. Tanner, Former Paw
tuCket Attorney, Is Mentioned.
Ex-City Solicitor BarnefieId Would Be Pleased
to Receive the Nomination.

The question of who will succeed Ed
the State, is beginning to assume an In
teresting phase. The announcement of the
present incumbent that he will not allow
his name to go before the convention again
and that he Is ready to retire, provides for
some speculation as to who will step into
his shoes.
The name OF Willard Il. Tanner, q for
mer Pawtucket attorney, and Thomas B.
Barnefield, ex-City Solicitor, stand out
most prominent, the former, 1t Is believed,
having the inside track. Mr.. Tanner
served as Assistant Attorney General
under Robert w. Burbank and with sue
cess. He is one of the cleverest lawyers at
the bar, and both in criminal and civil
practice has shown his ability. When Mr..
Dubois was nominated several years ago
Mr.. Tanner gave him close fight and mar
rowly missed winning.
George A. Littlefield would not be averse
to accepting the $45OO plum II 1t was
thrown his way. Col. Walter II. Stiness
Is mentioned as one who would make a
thoroughly excellent man for the position.
He has had experience, too, and is very
popular in the profession.
On the Democratic side, George Il.
Brown and Clarence A. Aldrich are spoken
of prominently, with a number OF dark
horses in the stable to draw upon. II is
possible that fusion of Democratic and
Independent interests may be accom-
plished this next spring, and II that comes
to pass, Robert w. Burbank, 1t Is stated,
will not go out of his way to avoid nom-
ination as a citizens representative. He
held athe office for some time and made q
lively prosecutor.

CONTRACTORS SUED.

Peter Healey Begins Suits Against Robert
Kirk & Son OF This City.
The suit of Peter Healey against Robert
H. Kirk & Son, contractors and builders of
this city, was begun yesterday afternoon
in the Common Pleas Division of the
Supreme Court. 1t is an action brought
by sub-contractor against Kirk & Son, the
contractors for building st. Mary's Con-
vent In this city.
The plaintiff resides in Providence and
the defendants in this city, and the work
was done last May. Mr.. Healy claims
that the architect made some objection be-
cause the first coat of mortar was not
scratched, but that the defendants told
him to go ahead the next day and they
would pay him, and he accordingly COM
pleted the job, but has not received the
payment that was promised.

A GILT-EDGED DANCE.

npIiinentary Social Given mt the Alca-
znr Last Evening.
= The complimentary social given by the
Gilt Edge Social. Club at the AlcaEax.k last
evening, was very enjoyable affair and
was largely attended. The orders con-
tanned % dances, and the music for the
dancing was furnished by the Alpine Or
chestra, under the direction OF Ned Young
The committee who arranged the affair
were Daniel McDuff;Q chairman James

Dupree, Frank Hannigan, James Slavin,
Daniel McDun, John Cervin and Patrick
McNulty. -
The grand march was led by Daniel
McNabb and Miss Annie Mccormick and
was participated in by about sixty couples.
A pleasant feature of the evening was the
presentation of diamond rings to four
young ladies'; this was done during the
intermission by Louis III. Murphy in a
neat speech. The cause of this action on
the part of the club was recognition OF
the services of those who received the
rings, at the fair given by the club at
Hibernian hall on Nov. 3.
At the fair the club offered diamond
ring to the lady securing the most votes |;
after the winner had received the prize
the club decided that inasmuch as the
contest was a close one, between five OF
the contestants and that all five had
worked hard for the success of the fair,
that the most graceful thing to do would
be to present each Of the other four with
similar gifts, which was done last evening
and the act was graceful one on the part
of the members of the organization. The
fortunate young ladies were Miss Minnie
Dupree, Miss Lizzie Slavin, Miss Maggie
Downey and Miss Mamie McElvanna. A
collation. was served at midnight and dur
ing the intermission songs were rendered
by Andrew Curtin and Frank Handigan.
The affair will be recalled with pleasure by
the one hundred couples who attended.

A, letter From An Insurgent
leader Tells of Some Dastardly
Work By the Spaniards.
WOMEN WANTONLY SHOT DOWN.
Two Young Girls Tied and Cruelty Lashed For
Sending Information to the Insurgents
Much Indignation.

New York, Dec. 30.-A dispatch to tn
World from Key West says:
A recent massacre by General Mel
Quizo's troops in western Cuba is de-
scribed in a letter received here from
an insurgent leader.
In q little hamlet 40 miles north of
Pinar Del Rio dwelt about IS people,
most OF them old and all non-combat-
ants. They lived from hand 70 mouth,
having few cattle and some small cane
fields and truck farms.
Spanish guerillas. commanded by
Pierronti, visited the place fortnight
ago. All the people were assembled and
searched for valuables, the women and
girls being subjected to indignites.
Not finding as much as they wanted,
the guerillas shot two young men, pre-
tending that they were Spanish de-
serters.
Six others were tied to trees and hor-
ribly whipped. being accused Of sending
information to the insurgents. Some
Of the older men were beaten and other
wise maltreated.
Two young women were tied to trees,
their backs were barred and the lash
was applied numerically because they
resisted the soldiers advances. Their
screams so aroused the anger Of the
older women that they made a COM
bined attack on the guerillas with clubs.
The guerillas easily beat them off, and
then fired indiscriminately among them.
killing 10 or 20 men and women and two
young children. The others escaped,
though the Spanish murderers fired al
them as long as they were in sight.
The guerillas then fired the houses,
throwing the dead bodies into the build
ings, drove of the cattle, destroyed the
crops and tramped their horses over the
potato patches, so nothing in the way
Of food could be had.
The women who were whipped were
left tied to the trees. Had not several
of the fugluves returned after the
guerillas had gone and liberated them
they would have died of exhaustion.
These poor people, left without food
or shelter, took up their abode in the
foothills, building themselves huts Of
branches and grass. Some have died
the Is now survive.
A Cuban planter was driven off his
plantation north of Pinar Del Rio city
two months ago. Since then he and his
wife, two daughters and young son
have been living in the forest in a
thatched hut in constant fear Of Spanish
marauding parties.
The letter told of other outrages, and
stated that for miles and miles. where
formerly were happy homes and -four
ishing fields, not house nor a living
being is to be seen.
