HER CRIES FRIGHTENED HER ASSAILANT AND HE
 FLIED.
Albert Young Arrested and Sup posed To Be the Guilty
 Party.

The East End of the city was i'll quite d turmoil of excitement at an early hour this morning caused by the report which spread like wild fire, that negro had attempted an assault upon the person of Mrs. Lloyd, widow of the late Met Lloyd.
 Searching parties were at once organized and with the aid of the police the city was secured over for the fiend, Of whom Mrs. Lloyd was able to give slight description, and Albert Young was finally arrested on the supposition that he was the guilty party, and the manner in which he has acted since his incar- eeration tends to prove most clearly that he is indeed the man who committed the outrage.
 The story of the attempted assault is as follows:
 About , o'clock this morning Mrs. Lloyd was awakened by some one moving in her bed room, and a second later she observed man crawling upon the floor in the diree- tion of her bed. Before she had time to S se ream the man sprang up and seized her and placed his hands over her mouth and forced her back on the bed. She struggled desperately and was finally enabled to utter ascrean. The noise of the struggling and the scream awakened Mrs. Lloyd s sister, who was sleeping in an ad- joining room, and she started to in- yestigate. Tho man heard her ap- 4 ! proaeiing and lie turned loose his intended victim and fled.
 The man had effected an entrance # into the room by moving u window z paine, lifting the window fastening and then raising the window. X # lamp was burning in the room and # tlls the midnight marauder had $ turned down very low.
 fife description of the man as \ given by Mrs. Lloyd suits Albert E Yoang very well, and she says that E she believes that Young is the man. # Young was employed by Mrs Z Lloyd yesterday to de some blow ing and he WAS therefore acquainted with the premises.
 The officers have other clues by which they expect to establish the
 gllt of the proper party even il
 Mfs. Lloyd, who on this morning
 was nearly prostrated with fright
 isunabe to identify him.
 Mrs. Lloyd was carried to the iai
 this morning to see ii she could
 Identify Albert Young as the negre
 who attempted to assault her last
 night She could not positively
 state that he was the right man
 but thought that he was, as his
 general appearance was similar tt
 that of her midnight visitor. Th'
 officers are now searching for othe
 slnes that will establish the guilt o

ONE WAY TO KILL 'EM. =.
An Expert Rises TO ASK What's the Use Of

The question of filtration of Pawtuxet water
is just now agitating the public mind. and a
gentleman well versed in both natural and

tie use of filters anyway, now that tho Roent-
gen rays may bo utilized TO destroy bac
teriar' He explains his position in this man.
ner:
Science has already demonstrated that the
Y rays Will destroy bacilli, and it is only a
\question Of time, according to experts, when
the scheme may DO perfected so that oil bac
terra may be killed by their use. 1t has long
been known that light will destroy bacteria
Now, suppose we take a glass tube and

would be suited TO the propagation Of bac-
terio, and put In quantity of water. In the
water would be germs Invisible to the naked
eye. but in rs hours there would arise
columns OF bacteria all alive. The X rays
thrown upon them would kill some, but not
oil, perhaps, hut with the perfection Of tho
apparatus which is promised, IL may be pos
sible TO demonstrate that all would die
Then, il that case. why not have a public de-
monstration. suppose thore is an epidemic
from contaminated Pawtuxet water. Let the
citizons OF Providence stand before tho cam.
era, shoot the X rays through them. and
there you are.

LOT OF WEATHER.
Commissioner of Public Works Preparing
for "Giaer'l Thaw."

The topic "weather" has this winter heon
practically written up in more diversified
forms than it would nave been possible to
conceive at the beginning OF tho season, be-
cause OF the frequent climatic changes, and
today there Is more weather. This morning
tho weather was such as to indicate n rainfall
or sudden thaw. so the commissioner OF pub
lie works has devoted most OF his attention 20
clearing the cutters and for that purpose
several road machines, which IL was thought
might not have TO be used again this season,
were put on and a number OF unemployed arc
thereby given work. Gangs OF shovellors
have also been called into rcquisition.
Tho storm began at 4.s0 y. m. yesterday,
with now. and not with rain, as some people
horeabouts have imagined and stated. Up 10
O'Clock this morning. ~ inches Of snow had
fallen, and 10 was Of the heavy kind, princi-
raly, melting proportionatoiy fast. IL made
wheeling worse than Shedding, and the lattor
was 80 stiff that two horses were required on
she milk punss. The general direction OF the
Wind was north, and between and p. m.
yesterday IL reached maximum velocity Of
u miles an hour-what the weather bureau
calls brisk wind.
Q The best thing 10 be said about this sioru.
Is that up 10 present writing no serious dam
age was reported, and the electrics made
average good time. IL may interfere with the
kt. Patrick's Day parade, however.

growth of this part of the State, and as
suming we are to be met in fair and
liberal spirit II is our purpose TO make
them prompt and ungrudgingly.
Your present demand, however, is OF
different character. You ask us TO make
an entirely new departure, the effect OF
which, on our business, we confess we
cannot measure, but which must necessi-
tate large expenditures and losses.
BY the explicit terms OF our contract
with the city we are required To furnish
ITS people at the agreed rate OF fares with
the "same or equivalent service TO that
furnished in 1892 IL Is true that we
have greatly extended and improved that
service without making any demand upon
the city for compensation.
But we are now asked, without any
change of fare, to substantially double the
service furnished in 1892, at great expense
and loss of revenue to the company, and
we beg respectfully TO submit II this Is to
be done, that fairness and equity demand
that the city should give the company
something approximating adequate COM
pensation OF the expenses and losses to be
Incurred.
We are unwilling to appear to dictate
what this compensation should be, but
would be glad to have your suggestions
on this point.
THE MATTER NOT SETTLED.
Chairman West of the special committee
says that he has no opinion to offer as
to what compensation" should be sug-
gested, and that that feature will be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the COM
nrittee.
The Alderman from Ward who is on
the committee said today that there should
be no compensation at all, and that hs Is
not in favor of granting the railroad COM
pany anything more.
Members of the Common Council are all
interested and most of them are very
skeptical as to the ultimate results Of the
negotiations
