turbing the peace. John German was
acquitted of vagrancy charge and dis
missed, but Charles Brown got sixty

A Dull DaY

There was but little business of either
interest or Importance transacted at the
court house yesterday. The sign of mo
court today still hung out in depart
ment four, as Judge Van Dyke only
yesterday returned from Bakersfield
where he had been trying a couple of
water suits. What little business there
was in department two was of a desper-
ately desultory nature: the court only
sat during the forenoon in department
five, and Judge Mckinley was still pre-
siding over the unraveling of experts
evidence on the Lytle creek water case,

A BRIGHT Double Eopfe

Is a pleasant object to contemplate, par
ticularly if one happens to be its proprie-
tor. But the hue of that justly esteemed
coin is not provocative of admiration when
visible in ones complexion. This indica-
ton of biiousness, as well as discomfort
in the vicinity of the liver fur upon the
tongue, sick headache, sourness of the
breath. nausea, constipation and dyspepsia
are speedily remediable with the never
failing aid of Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters, the finest Alternative. carminative and

also thoroughly reliable. They whose sed-
entary pursuits tend to impair the active

secretion never seek its help in vain. 1t is
capital appetizer and promoter Of nerve

attention TO the fact that one of the most
serious boiler explosions that have oc-
CURED in Providence took place, as did
the one at the Ann and Hope mill re-

1857 there was at the corner of Eddy and
Clifford streets a very extensive rubber

ward. The whole establishment covered
some 20, 900 square feet of and and in
cluded five buildings. Just before z
O'Clock on the morning of October Q of
that year the boiler in the works burst
with a deafening roar. The boiler was
raised from its foundations, hurled
through the wall of the factory, which
collapsed, to the other side of the street,
where 1t crashed through the front of a
dwelling house, completely destroying it.
Fire broke out Immediately, and before 1t
was extinguished had burned every one
of the five buildings with their contents
OF stock finished and in process, and all
the machinery. The most lamentable
feature OF the explosion was the instant
killing of a passer by. Ira Smith, a
macbinist, was on his way to work and
was just passing the rubber factory when
the boiler burst. The brick wall toppled
and fell, crushing him TO death beneath
