The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1896-12-31

Again, however, disappointment stares
us In the face, for out Of all the hustle
and running around of workmen yester-
day the only result visible to the eye Is the
fact that two Welsbach burners have been
placed In the station, one In the back
room, called by courtesy an Office, and the
other In the hallway, so-called. Probably
this Is the extent OF the repairs to be made,
and il this proves true the committee
should receive the thanks of those people
who have occasion to go to police head
quarters upon business.
Severed an Artery.
The son of j. c. Stevens, newsdealer on
Central street, accidently struck his hand
against show case in the store last even
ing and severed an artery. DIR. Howe was
summoned and took the necessary pre-
cautions to stops the flow of blood, and
weld the broken artery together.

Central Falls Assembly, Royal Society OF
Good Fellows, has received a check for
5000, payable to the widow OF the late w.
o. Brown, from the Supreme Treasurer OF
the order. The money was paid over to

The Presbyterian Cnurch.
The members of the Presbyterian Church
are greatly disappointed on account OF the
delay in the completion of the church. 1t
was expected that the vestry of the church
would be so far completed that the congre-
CATION would be able to hold services there
commencing tomorrow. An elaborate
program had been arranged for the open
ing of the vestry, but the continued cold
weather, delaying the plasters, necessarily
retarding the finishing OF the woodwork,
compels postponement of the carefully
prepared program. From now on the
work will be pushed as rapidly as possible
in order to have the vestry ready at an
early date as possible.

The first of series of entertainments to
be held by Ballou Post, No. 3, will take

his wonderful banjo solos, and the un-
eaualled Darktown quartet. Readings

Entertainment and Lecture.
An interesting and unique program was
followed out at the entertainment which
was given at the Broad street Baptist
Church last evening. Rev. George +.
Perry gave a lecture upon his travels
through the different countries OF the Old
World and the program was arranged In
such manner that the lecture was inter-
woven by other numbers on the program.
The opening number on the program was
a piano solo by Miss E. Sproat of Provi-
dence. Then followed description OF his
travels abroad by Mr.. Perry.
Commencing with his embarkation on
the steamer City st. Paul, Mr.. Perry car
ried his listeners to Southampton, thence
through the leading cities Of France, and
the British Isles. The discourse was list
eRed to with deep attention by the audi
ence. and at it's close one would imagine
that he had seen all these sights himself,
80 vivid and realistic were the descriptive
powers of the speaker. During the dis
course the following program was rend-
ered
piano "waves of the Ocean"
Miss 4. Sproat.
Vocal solo.... Using, Smile Slumber''
Miss Sadie Duxbury.
Violin Solo........ ............... selected
Miss Harriet Anderson.
Vocal Solo................."Fe le, ID lsrael'
Miss Sadie Duxbury.
Violin Solo........... ..."Whispering Bells"
Miss Harriet Anderson
Piano Solo...... ''..'oooo Night
Miss +, Sproat.
Miss Duxbury was in excellent voice,
and the ease with which she executed the
difficult selections was a revelation to
those who heard her for the first time last
evening. The work of Miss Anderson on
the violin was up to her usual standard OF
excellence. The entertainment was for the
benefit of the organ fund, and good sum
was realized from this source.
A Housebreaker Failed.
Tuesday night suspicious looking char
acter was seen hanging around the resi-
dence of Charles M. Read on Broad street.
Word was sent to police headquarters, and
Sergt. Louks in company with officer Han
rahan responded to the call. They found
tracks of the man in the snow all about
the premises. A careful examination was
made, but the would be housebreaker had
left for parts unknown. In all probability
he was frightened of by the fact that he
had been watched pretty close by the gen.
tleman who brought the news to the police
station.
Naturalization Meeting
A naturalization meeting was held last
evening at Democratic headquarters last
evening in Huot's Block. The members
of the Democratic city committee were
present and assisted the voters in the de-
tails of the work. Quite a number of per-
sons who had not taken out their second
papers were present, and upon the advise
of the committee went to the City Hall and
placed their names upon the registry
books, in order to be able to vote at the
coming election. Another meeting will
be held this evening for the same pur-
pose.
