Heard Calling Out OF Darkness--Accident
Happened off Hog Island.

Captain Burton OF the steamer Mount
Hope sent dispatch to manager Watson
Of the Providence, Fall River and New
port Steamboat Company this morning
stating that the Mount Hope ran into q
sailboat last night and one man was
drowned. Manager Watson Immediately
went to Fall River TO investigate the cir
cumstances.
The steamer was on her way from this
city TO Fall River. About 10 O'Clock,
when off Hog Island Lightship the
Mount Hope ran down catboat and
drownded one man and killed another.
Just as soon as the catboat was struck
life saving boat was lowered from the
steamer and search was made for the
victims OF the accident The body Of
one man was PICKED up. The fearful
cries of another man could pe heard from
the darkness but after dilligent search,
nothing could be found except an over
coat floating in the water.
The man who was picked up was prob
ably killed in the collision as there was a
deep cash over his right eye.
The only thing to identify the remains
was bill made out to +. A. Stagg, from
a coal dealer in New Brighton, Staten
Island, N. Z. The catboat sank imm~TS

New York. Aug. 2s.--With the words
of the Mckinley letter Of acceptance on
nearly every tongue, ex-President Har-
rison acted as the eastern proxy of the
Republican candidate last night and
struck the keynote of the eastern cam
paign in an explanatory and careful
speech to 5000 people. Half as many
people who composed the audience were
denied admittance, because of lack of
room. The enthusiasm was tremendous,
and the many brilliant points were re-
ceived with hearty applause. The au-
dience was a distinguished one, and from
the early hour when they cheered the

The atmosphere OF the Chicago CONVEX

the onlookcrs and amazed the country.
The courts OF the president were ar

years and the firm has placed the utmost

His methods were TO take money from

Latter Arrested On Charge of Cruelty
Treating Horse.

This morning special officer Joseph
Smith Of the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty 20 Animals went to what is
known as the Gross place in Glocester,
near Harmony, and arrested Henry p.
Jacoy on the charge OF abusing horse.
Jacoy is something of a character and
one that will not be III ssed in tho COM
munity IL stories told of him are true.
The Jacoys live in an old house away
back in the woods tnree-quarters of mile
from what is known as the Snake Hill
road, and 2ear the Waterman reservoir.
IL is seldom that the family gets wha, is
called a square meal, which Is due to the
fact that Jacoy is shiftless, and what lit
tie money he gets he spends for liquor.
About three years ago Mrs. Jacoy suf-
fered shock of paralysis and from that
time until she died last Friday Jacoy
made the woman live in a little building
in the rear of the house that is not ut for
a hen house.
Last Friday Mrs. Jacoy died and was
buried the next day. When some of the
relstiyes called at the house they found
that none of the seven children, the eld-
est of whom is 13, had clothing to wear
10 the funeral of their mother, who was
to be buried in lot near by. Some of
the smaller children had old rags wrapped
around their bodies, which were held in
ace ny pieces OF string. They were
dirty and halt starved. Monday Jacoy
left his family TO care for themselves as
bert they could, hitched up his poor old
horse and drove to Scituate, where he
got drunk. When on the way home the
horse, which had not been fed, could go
no further, so Jacoy beat him with club
until ii bied from the ears and nose. Some
OF the farmers on the road made him
cease his beating. The horse was got onto
lis feet again and Jacoy drove OF, but
only for short distance, when the horse,
completely worn out, collapsed. Jacoy
began for the second time to beat the ex-
hausted beast and this time someone TO
put the animal out of its sufferings shot 1t.
Then complaint was made TO the society.
James Il. Brown overseer of the poor
OF Glocsster, accompanied Mr.. Smith
and took charge OF the children and at
the next session of the probate court he
will have them sent to some institution
where they will receive proper care ana
attention.
Mr.. Charles II. Thurber, agent OF the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, has oeen called upon a num-
Der OF times by people in that neighbor-
hood, but the case for some reason was
out OF his jurisdiction, and it is by his
instructions that Mr.. Brown takes charge
OF the little unfortunates.
Jacoy's father was well known all over
the State, for he for many years was the
landlord OF the hotel at Harmony aid
was known far and wide as "Bob" Jacoy.
Henry was an only child, and he spent
the most OF his Gays in that Wild country.
Mr.. Smith brought Jacoy before the
Eighth District Court this afternoon and
he was sentenced to six mo 1ths at the
county jail at Crsnstcn.
