COMMON PLEAS DIVISION.
The only case tried In the comuon
pleas division OF the Supreme Court to-
day was tnat of August Ferescke VS..
Ange Albert Prefontsine, and Judge
Rogers and jury heard the testimony.
Both the plaintiff and the defendants are
residents OF Woonsocket and the former
seeks 10 recover the sum OF 5000 for In
juries received while in the employ OF the
defendant and which he alleges were due
to the faulty construction of a scatolding
The plaintiff testified he was a painter,
and on the 25th of January last was en-
gagged in painting . building at Manyille
when the staging broke and he was
thrown to the ground and severely in
jured. This staging the plaintiff also
said, was put ap by a man named Gil
man. under the direction of the defend
ant.
The defendant denied that the staging
was improperly constructed, but said that
every care was taken in the building OF
1t, and that ths accident could not have
been avoided by any reasonab bic pruden ce.
The jury, after a brief deliberation,
brought In a verdict for the defen dant.
Page Il Owen were attorneys for the
plaintiff and Oscar Lapham attorney for
the defendant.
The grand jury will bring in its list OF
indictments tomorrow morning.
BOTH PARTIES GOT A VERDICT.
The Ladd-Gay controversy was this
morning disposed OF, at least so far as
the common pleas division of the court
is concerned. The trial yesterday OF the
suit of Frank +. Lsdd W.. Charles p. Gay
to recover possession Of large number
OF wedding presents that he claimed the
defendant, his father-in-law, had refused
to give to him, resulted in verdict for
Ladd for possession of the goods and 10
cents damage. The jury in tho suit of
Charles p. Gay to recover S10l.75 against
Ladd alleged to be due for the care OF
Mrs. Ladd during ner sickness, brought
in verdict for the plaintiff for S2s.

TABS" ON CARRIERS,
Device Intended to Prevent Post
men Wasting Time.
How the Invention Works at the Provi-
dence POstoffice.

The manufacturers say ii Is a simple
automatic, accurate method TO prevent
the loss of time. Two new Bundy record
ers have been placed in the posto:fice.
They went into operation yesterday, and
nov every letter carrier in the city
knows "tabs" are neing kept on tim.
The clocks are in the rear OF the mailing
room, and look like two ordinary we'll
made eight-day time keepers. But they
are not ordinary, because they record the
time of every letter carrier. The govern
ment paid s75 each for them, not con-
sidering the cost Of the psraphernslia hat
goes with them.
Each letter carrier has heavy key OIL
the rack, and he is identified by mum.
Der. When he comes into the building
he takes his key from the rack, places
1t in the keyholo gives it a turn and the
number of key is recorded .on slip oi
paper, together with the hour and the
minute. The key itself records the mum
Der, and the machinery which the swing
ing pendulum drives, does the rest. II
Is absolutely certain in its work, anc
there can be no going behind the re
turns. No carrier can justly make claim
for any time other than is set down or
the coil of paper on the inside OF the
clock. 1he other clock records the
carriers time of leaving the mailing
room in exactly the same manner as hi,
coming In.
This record was formerly kept on
books, but Postmaster Hayward said the
record could be tempered with, but now
the new machinery will prevent erasinR
of facts.

AN ASYLUM BURNED.
The Children's Home at Columbus, o., ID
stroyed by Fire.

The Children's Home at Columbus, o., De-
stroyed by Fire.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4-The Franklin
County Children's home, two miles
northeast of the city, burned yesterday
morning. The city fire de partment
was called at $50, but owing to the
long run the fire had enveloped the
whole building before the engines
reached the scene The children, of
whom there were lat in the home,
were just rising. The attendants hur-
riedly marched them out of the build
ing, and it is believed by Mrs. A. D.
White, the superintendent, that all
were saved. The Panhandle Railway
Co., along whose line the home is To-
Gated, sent out a special train to
bring the children to the city,
but as the weather was terribly
cold, many Of them had been
hood, where they are temporarily
quartered. Being thus scattered it is
difficult to tell whether any children
are missing or not. The attendants
say all the children under their care
were taken out and that there was no
panic. The building was large three
story brick, built Is years ago at cost
of S125, 0OO The superintendent A. D.
White, died two years ago and his
widow was placed in charge of the
home by the commissioners. The
center portion of the building
was completely destroyed. 1t is
hardly possible that any of the
walls can be built up again. In fact,
the walls of the north wing fell in un-
der pressure of a strong wind. The
commissioners are severely censured
for the inadequate insurance on the
building. The insurance on the build
ing is only $50 700 and that on the con-
tents e. 00O

state the joint report on the Alaskan
boundary which was agreed upon by
him and the Canadian representative,
Mr. King, at their meeting at Albany
this week. The report probably will
not be made public until it is trans
raitted 10 congress. but it shows a
practical agreement between the sur
veys of the two governments and may
have the effect of partially qrieting
the apprehension OF trouble over the
boundary.

Insurgents Steadily Gaining.
HAVANA, Jan. flowing to the near
approach of the insurgent forces to
Havana and the disturbances in the
province of Pinar del Rio, martial law
was declared yesterday in the province
of Havana and in the province of Pr
mar del Rio. Maxine Gomez has de-
clared his purpose to penetrate into
the province of Pinar del Rio. Although
his forces have not reached the borders
of that province, the action of the au-
thorities is understood to indicate that
they have no hopes of preventing him
from carrying out mis- threat.
1t is not only the organized armed
force of the advancing insurgents that
the authorities find themselves COM
PEELED to prepare against. In fact,
there is little apprehension that this
force could effect much success in an
assault upon this city, great as is the
damage that they have wrought in the
country But the irresistible pro-
gress of the insurgent army whittier
it listeth from one end of the island
to the other has served immensely to
increase the boldness of their sympa-
thizers, who have hitherto remained
passive non-com batants If these were
to see the occasion for d -uccessful
stroke there is no doubt that great ac-
cession to the insurgent forces wou Id
be gained thr oughout the provinces OF
Havana and Pinar del Rio, and there
are grave fears that an uprising would
occur in the city of Havana itself.

The One Agreed Upon VIII Provide for the
Payment of About $137.9OO,OOO.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The sub-com-
mittee of appropriations in charge Of
the pensions appropriation bill, has
completed the consideration of the
bill and will report it to the full COM
mittee on Wednesday. The bill carries
about $137, 900, 900, a decrease of little
over So, 600, 900 from the estimates sub
mitted by the commissioner. Three
important amendments have been at
tached to the bill. The first provides
that no pension shall be suspended on
charge of fraud until the charge shall
first have been adjudicated in United
States district court, except where the
alleged fraud constitutes plain vio-
lation of statute, as in the case of the
remarriage of a widow. The second
amendment provides that any claim
under the act of 1890, if granted,
shall date from the date of the first
application. Pensions under the pres
ent practice is rejected, suspended or
dismissed on the first application from
the date of the adjudication. The
third amendment repeats the section
of the dependent law of 1890 requiring
widow to show that she is a depend
ent for her support on her daily labor.
