Is COnsummated.
Some Questions About the Annexation
PropOsition--Oth Notes.
THr News BUREAU. oLsEryIrrr.


No. Hartford Avenua I
The deed OF the 81 acre lot on Webster
avenue Johnston from the "west Provi-
dence Land Company" to Edward Records
of New York city was recorded yesterday
at the town clerks office in Johnston.
The price named in the deed is a nominal
sum out 1t is understood that the DUR
chase price is about 100000. The sale
was made some weeks ago asannounced
in The NEWS, at the time, but pending
some preliminary arrangements it was
not put on record until yesterday. This
is the most important real estate tranfer
made in this town in years. AS 1t is the
finest residential site in this section Ii
is anticipated 1t will be q boom to the
town as soon as the several hundred lots
which 1T contains are-pH -apen-the
market.
CAN ANNEXATION RE VOTED ON?
The required mum ber of signatures to
the petition requesting the town clerk to
call special election to vote upon the
proposition to annex portion of the
town of Johnston to the city of Provi-
dence were filed with the clerk at 1888
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Some ques-
tion has been raised as TO the right to
call special meeting on the same day as
the regular one, also as TO whether there
is any provision for the calling of
special election unless the town sergeant
should notify every voter personally.
This objection was exploded this morn
ing by the discovery on the records OF
vote passed April 2, 1862, which provided
for special meetings being called by
posting notices in certain localities as the
law requires for regular elections.
The town officials who have charge OF
the ceiling and holding town meetings
Bre seeking legal advice today regarding
the validity OF holding special election
as proposed.
TOWN COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Republican town committee met
last evening to arrange for holding eau
Gus to NOMINATE officers to be voted for

approval. Next Thursday evening at &
o'clock was fixed as the date for holding
the caucus which is.to occur in the Coun-
ell chamb Der. Candidates were informally
discussed and another meeting will be
held previous TO the caucus to give
further consideration to list OF candi-
dates to suggest to the caucus.

PAWTUXET VALLEY.
PHENIx.

Inspector Butterworth IL making tour
OF the valley villages looking for nuis-
snces along the banks of the Pawtuxet
which might pollute the water.
James Colwell, of Cranston, had the mis-
fortune to wreck his bicycle on River
street last evening. He was riding down
the street and when near the Phenix mill
met carriage gong In the opposite di-
rection. In turning out to avoid IL, his
wheel struck one OF the rails OF the cleo
trio car track causing him TO lose control
OF the machine, which shot towards the
sidewalk and struck one OF the posts
which support the trolly wire completely
wrecking the front wheel and bending
the frame OF the machine.
Rev. Alfred Talyor officiated at the
special Ascension Day services at st.
Andrews church last evening.
Mrs. Robert Stansfield and Mrs. Robert
Yeaw, who have been the guests OF Mrs.
john Ray, have returned to their home
In Rockland.
The practice OF dumping ashes and gar
bage in the public streets here has grown
to such an extent as to become a nuisance
and the long drought nas made 1t almost
uncomfortable. IL front OF some of the
company houses and stores the street is
fairly covered with ashes and decaying
vegetables, which are menace to public
health. Complaints have repeatedly beel
made to the owners and occupants of the
stores and dwellings but with no result
and now the residents have determined
TO bring the matter to the attention of
the town council ana ask that body to
take measures to abate the nuisance.

The agent fairly gasped the words,
but Charles understood him at once.
! No. 18, the through freight, and No.
S, the express, between stations on a
single track road, were rushing to-
gether with nothing to stop them!
Charles turned as white as. the agent,
while look of despair crept over his
face. Suddenly his eye rested upon
his wheel, and hope came to him.
/ He remembered the long curve Of the
track and the short cut of the road,
sand how they came together again
further on almost at right angles, and
then Continued sin parallel lines. He
thought of the slow progress of the
freight It was one chance in a hun
dred, but perhaps he could head off the
freight train and stop her, particularly
as he had SO much less distance to 20
and could get great speed on the down
grade.
He was on his wheel in a moment,
riding as he had never ridden before.
At first there was a smooth stretch of
road leading ITO the steep hill, which
threw the road at right. angles to the

track, and over this his wheel fairly
new. With his head bent low over the
handle bars, he glanced Meth u, Us the
right nor left, but fastened his eyes
upon the road, which seemed like some
white, silent river flowing by him with
great rapidity. It took but a moment
or two to get over this road, at the
speed he was riding, but it seemed to
him to be years.
IL was now on the down grade, and,
although he could not see the freight,
he.k knew it was near from the presence
OF the cloud ofathick, black smoke.
which hung above its course.
He soon reached the crest of the hill.
In moment, he thought, he could see
the freight and know whether he could
stop her or not At length the train
came into view, and he saw at once he
could not hope to head it off, but that
by using all his. speed he would be able
to reach it before all the cars had passed
the place where the road curved in
by the side of the track.
AS he started down the hill he nut
all his weight on the pedals until the
bicycle shot down the grade at great
pace, gathering, speed with each revo-
luton OF the wheels. He was going so
fast that when he came to the level
it seemed to him that his speed in
creased instead of diminished.
Now, he is approaching the track
with lightning swiftness. The road and
railroad begin to converge. Moments

Tonight is the time I was to nav

THE RAG FORTH. -.gt


pass which, seem like years. HeIraises
his eyes, the train. is directly ahead Of
him; he will just reach it before it
passes entirely. The engine has already
passed and some of the cars.
Once more he looks down and puts
all his remaining strength upon the
pedals. He raises his eyes again, and
finds he is shooting along the road he
side the& freight, which is now going
at good speed. He cannot hope to keep
this pace long; already the freight is
gaining upon him.. :;
A brakeman is half asleep on one of
the cars. Charles waves his hand fran
tically and tries to shout, but to his sur
prise his voice makes little sound, and
that is drowned in the rumble of the
train. The brakeman laughs and waves
his hand in response, as if it were a
good joke, his riding race with the
train
a Would he laugh, Charles thinks, if
he realized that that great mass of
wood and metal, passenger No. $, was
coming toward him with the force of
a tornado?
The freight is surely gaining, and
they pay no attention to him. A shor+
distance ahead the road and track d.
verge again; what shall he do? He
rides with the energy of desperation,
and the brakeman at last calls to a
brakeman to look at him. They
can't seem to make out why he should
try to beat the train, when it is so hope
less a task.
His heart leaps with hope for mo-
ment, but it is soon dispelled. for the
other brakeman laughs, and then both
wave their hands at him in token OF
farewell.
Charles, in the agony of despair, let's
his hand fall downward, and as he does
so it comes in contact with bunch in
his coat pocket. Again hope comes to
him, for he remembers it is the rem
nant of an old red flag he had used to
clean his wheel, and had stuffed into
his pocket.
Quick as a flash he has drawn the
rag forth, and now waves it in answer
to their moclSing gestures. It is old
and soiled, but its red is still bright
enough to look sinister and dangerous
as Charles waves it frantically above
his head.
The smiles die away from the faces
of the brakemen. One of them starts
on run along the cars toward the en-
CINE. Then there comes the whistle Of
"down brakes Charles is sick and
faint, but he realizes he must keep up.
Slowly, oh! so slowly, it seems to him,
the trains speed diminishes, and at last
it ceases to move.
A, brakeman climbs down and runs
towards the bicyclist, for he still waves
that piece of red flag above his head
with one hand while with the other he
clasps firmly the handlebar of his wheel.
The brakeman is close to him now and
grasps his wheel, for it is beginning 10
wobble frightfully. He holds it firmly,
for Charles is, for the moment, too weak
to dismount.
No. 5 has passed V stationi'
Charles stammers out between his gasps
for. breath
That is enough; the brakeman knows
only too well what it means. He shouts
out the information to another brake
man who is nearer the train, and the
latter starts on a run for the head of
the train with his red flag. Will he be
in time to stop the express?
