OUT in THE BLOW.
Georgie Phillips and frankie Whitney
Had Storm Experience.


Georgie Phillips and frankie Whitney
went to Newport Wednesday evening.
Generally speaking, a trip to the twin
cspital isn't of special interest to eny one
save the persons directly concerned. But
this trip was OF more than common In
terest.
George is IL years old and frankie is
one year his senior. They live during the
warm season with their parents at River
View on the west side of Narragansett
Bay.
Anchored OF the shore was a 20-foot cat
GOAT, owned by Harry {. Curtis, and the
two lads decided to borrow the craft for
trip 10 Newport. They started at
o'clock. When the terrific wind storm
struck the bay, the boys were well on
their voyage. Tho storm churned the
water into foam, but the boys never lost
their nerve aud kept the boat pointed for
Newr ort.
When the wind was the ferccst the par
ents of the boys found out that the
youngsters were on the water, and their
feelings can be better understood than
described. Water men OF experience said
that no boat guided by such inexperi-
enced hands could live in such a blow,
and every one became of the opinion that
the little yoyagers had been drowned.
The anxious parents were nearly ois-
traeted all night long, and the first thing
yesterday morning q search was made
for the missing lads. Anxiety, however,
was relieved about 3 o'clock when a tele-
phone message was received from young
Philips at Newport, stating that he and
frankie were all right. They arrived in
Newport at 10 O'Clock and made the trip
from River View in three hours.
They said they could have done 1t
quicker il they didn't have to scud under
b re poles during the blow.

MILK INSPECTORS WORK
Facts Given in Mr.. P0tter's Report

Many Samples Examined and Number

The report of Inspector OF Mix
Potter was given to the Board of Alder
men at it's meeting yesterday afternoon.
1t shows that from Sept. /, 1895, to Aug.
1, 1896, there were 1888 samples OF milk
examined and analysed. the greater por-
tion of which was taken from milk
wagons during the early morning hours.
Many OF the samples which were exam
ined during the past year were collected
from stores and restaurants and con-
sidera bic nunbe were brought to the
inspectors office for examination by store
keepers, milkmen and the public.
Nineteen complaints were entered In
the courts with the following results:

strains of music from every sort of or
ganization, from military band down
TO u troupe of colored MINISTRIES.
The procession of boats wound its
length in and out and up and down the
harbor, in a serpentine trail half mile
long.
Notable dipiays were the white swan
boat of the French frigate Du Bordeu,
beautiful alike in design and execution,
and the monster house boat OF the New
port naval reserve. From the tiniest skiff
up to this latter boat, ranged In size
the craft which made up the parade, and
among the music OF innumerable bands
and singing societies, the hoarsness of
multitude OF steam whistles, the rockets
red glare and bombs bursting in air,
and beneath the flashing searchlights,
the procession slowly swept along.
Unique among the sights OF the harbor
was a water fountain, arranged by the
torpedo officers near the pier, and illumi-
mated by the station search light and
colored lire.
Nearly 5000 sight-seers went to New
port TO enjoy the illumination on the
steamers Aweshonks, Squsnlum, Mount
Hope and Day star. No finer view was
offered anywhere than from the decks Of
these steamers. A complete circuit of
the harbor was made and near view of
the principal decorations was obtained.
lhe Mount Hope was trihe crowded,
but the other boats were com fortably
filled. After seeing oil there was to be
seen Providence passengers were landed

The numb Der of licenses issued by the
department was 962. The Inspector rec
ommended that 1t would be an immense
advantage to the city IL all dealers in
milk were required to pay a nominal
sum for their licenses, the same to be
secured annually, and the money so re-
ceived to be paid into the city treasury.
The inspector said, that in his opinion,
the licenses OF those dealers who persist
in selling adultersted milk. after receiv-
ing sufficient warning, should be re-
vooked, and the dealers not be permitted
to re-engage in the business. The con-
sumption of milk was as follows: Num-
Der OF quarts used daily, estimated $4,000;
number of quarts used annually, es-
timated 27,375, 900; value at cents per
quart, daily ;45OO; value at cents per
quart annually, S1,643,00
The Inspector said thar these figures
shS wed the magnitude of the business,
and the importance OF rigid and
thorough milk inspection, as even a 10
per cent. adulueration would defraud the
public out of $3.50, 200.

Mr.. Potter stated that the require
ment most needed TO secure better milk
supply is a revision OF the milk laws.
The inspector stated that it was the prac-
tice of some dealers to place an easily re-
movable collar marked "skimmed milk"
around the necxs OF the cans while they
are in their possession. The collar, are
legibIe only to the practiced eye and be-
ing easily removable were taken off before
or at the time OF delivery, thus the pur-
chaser would not be aware by any marks
on the can that he Is receiving inferior
milk. Mr.. Potter thought that the
standard of purity should be raised from
II per cent. total solids to IL per cent.
the standard OF fat should be raised
from 2 1-2 per cent to 3.7 per cent. and a
standard of 9.3 per cent. solids, not fat,
be stahlished for skim milk. MIR. Potter
saio that in view of the fact that Sec.
of the present lsws 10 abused SO much he
would recommend that the sale of SIX i'm
milk be enetirely prohibited in the city
OF Providence.
Mr.. Potter also recommended that there
should be some kind Of inspection in
regard to the dairies supplying milk TO
the city.

TWO VERSIONS OF IT
Attorney Walsh Gives One and Special
Cough the Other.
THE LAWYER is BADLY CUT
He Is Now in the Hospital-The Of
fIoer Says He Was Justified
in Using His Prisoner
as He Did.

Attorney Walsh is at st. AIMS hospital
with three ugly gashes in his head. He Is
under the care of DR.. st. Jean, and,
though he is not dangerously wounded.
still his condition is serious. How he got
these injuries is to be judicially invesu-
gated.
Special Officer Jack Cough inflicted them
and there are two versions of the affair.
According to the special. Walsh met him
on Monday night on lower Commercial
avenue and abused him as man and an
officer. Cough placed Walsh under arrest
and on the way to the jail the lawyer re-
sisted and he had to take him by force. At
the door to the jail the officer says that
Walsh resisted him further and struck
him, and that the policeman had to de-
fend himself with the paddock which fas-
tens the door He knocked Walsh down
and dragged him into a cell. Cough says
further that Walsh was drunk.
The version of Attorney, Walsh is diff
ferent. He says that he was not drunk.
and had not been drinking. The cause of
the policeman's enmity towards him is a
bill which he has been collecting for a
client. Walsh said:
IT was walking quietly up the street.

and l was not drunk Jack began calling
me names and said he would like to throw
in a few Irish attorneys. He kept up his
abuse until retorted in kind, and then
he arrested me. went with him because
he was an officer, but told him to go and
get Chief O'Brien so that could put up
bond. He kept on calling me names and
while we were In the dark at the rear of
the jail / struck him two or three times
and knocked him down because couldn't
stand his insolence.
when he got up told him I'd go to
jail all right, he need not be afraid of
that, but he must learn to respect n man,
even though the man was his prisoner
He opened the jail door and as l was go
ing in ahead of him he struck me with
the paddock over the head. 1 don't know
how many times, but there are three cuts
on my head. / was dazed by the first
blow. l was bleeding stream when he
threw me in the cell and begged him to
go for a doctor, but he would not do IL,
and would not go for Chief O'Bren.
Several hours afterward Officers Ste
vens and Norman came into the Jail and
they went for O'Brien, and they took me
TO DR.. st. Jean, and here 1 am.
II am very weak from loss of blood and
] would have died there in the cell If they
had not come to my assistance"
He thought he had bled a bucket of
blood and the appearance of the Jail
would justify the belief. .sa
Cough was appointed a special about
two months ago on trial by. Mayor Thorn
ton. His beat has been in the residence
portion of the Third ward. As soon as
Walsh is able to appear he win be ar
raigned on a charge of disorderly conduct

"LiIy OF Killarney" Last Night. The

A night of opera was enjoyed by an
immense audience at Evans opera house
last evening, when the Carletons produced
a double bill. The first was an operetta,
1.-The Charity Girls" which was a pretty
bit and mirthful During its progress Mr..
Carleton sang the famous Trilby song,
Ben Bolt" and Miss Atkinson sang Tell
Me IL You Love Me-"
THE Lily of Killarney" the chief event
of the evening. was a pleasing presenta-
ton. 1t is described as a romantic Irish
musical comedy, and though flaws might
be found with the description, there are
very few in the production. 1t is THE
Colleen Bawn," Dion Boucicault's famous
drama, set to music. The thrilling ro-
mantle tale makes a good plot and Sir
Julius Benedict has written music ringing
with Irish airs and melody to tell the
story in song.
Miss Rena Atkinson took the character
of Ely O'Connor. and not only sang IL,
but looked IL. Her pure, sweet voice
charmed all hearers, and as IL rose in
trills and bell-like notes, John Maguire's
friends all said with one accord he had in
deed found a canary bird The solo II
Am Alone, was the gem of the evening
Mr.. Carleton was Danny Mann, a part
attractive in no way but musically. and
he made II thus the power of the opera.
The performance was artistic and we'll
nigh perfect, but there were two incidents
that marred IT, and which might be elm
mated. for they had no place in the opera
and there was no excuse for their intro
duction, else it be to cater to the vaude-
vile. Allusion is made to the wild dance
in the first act, and the Bowery song
both of which were decidedly discordant
in an otherwise harmonious evening. They
were good in themselves. but out of place.
William Hamilton rendered several es-
pecially fine bass solos and Jay c. Taylor
was very good i'm the tenor part of
Hardness.
George W. Campbell's song. THE Col
leen Bawn," was also much appreciated,
The entire cast was as follows. Ely

A small town. Sulphur City, has grown
up in the neighborhood of the mines.
at which lived the operatives engaged
in trying to solve the problem. AS the
expense of these employees had to be
paid, and as not pound OF sulphur
was obtained, the several companies
organized to mine 1t went, one after
another. into bankruptcy. until the
property fell, a short time ago, into
the hands of the great Standard oil
company.
Long before the discovery of petrole-
UNI In Pennsylvania a party of hunt
ers stumbled on a petroleum spring in
Calcasieu. The Louisiana petroleum
company was organized to mine for 1t,
and while mining discovered that side
by side with the oil was one of the
most valuable deposits of nearly pure
sulphur in the world. The sulphur
was 400 feet below the surface and ex-
tended below 500 feet further. There
was no doubt or question about this.
but unfortunately just above the sui
phur was a quicksand 160 feet thick.
One effort after the other to reach the
sulphur failed. The drill struck an
underground we'll. then a gas well.
After several deaths the American sui
phur company gave up the enterprise.
Then a Belgian engineer undertook the
work and endeavored to neutralize the
quicksand by freezing it solid and bor-
ing 1t through, and erected valuable
refrigerating machinery for that pur-
pose. but the quicksand would not stay
frozen and that system Of mining had
TO be Abandoned.
Within the last few weeks the Stand
ard OIL company has got control of the
property 1t set about mining in a
fashion the very opposite to that of
the Belgian engineer. Instead of using
freezing as the means of getting at the
sulphur. II is trying heat. Superheated
water is forced through 10-inch pipe on
the sulphur, melting it, and the liquid
sulphur water is then pumped up. A
little exposure to the air. so as to evap-
crate the water, leaves almost pure
sulphur. The experiment has been a
success beyond expectations.
