RAILWAY MEN DANCE.
SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL HELD BY
CONDUCTORS AND MOTORMEN


The conductors and motormen in the
employ of the Pawtucket Street Railway
company held their first ball in the Music
Hall Assembly rooms last evening.
The event proved decided success I'm
every particular, the gay conductors had
plenty of opportunities to indulge I'm quiet
fiirtations right under the eyes of the su-
perintendent.
The motormen faced pretty girls instead
of chilling winds and storm, and enjoyed
the change. Every one was happy, every
one enjoyed themselves, every one danced,
and the first annual ball will be long re-
membered by those fortunate enough to
attend 1t.
And the ladies, of course the success OF
the ball, of any ball In fact, Is due To their
attendance. The conductors and motor
men were more than usually successful in
this respect, and flashing eyes and attract
i've gowns were to be found on all sides Of
the ball room.
The success of the affair wa largely due
to the efforts of the following "ommittee of
arrangements: Treasurer, i ank Mont
gomery; Secretary, Wilbu~ Halliday;
Thomas Mahan, Frand Del N, Charles
Cranshaw and John NewcomL.
The floor director was j. Milton New
comb, and he was ably assisted by the fol-
lowing aids. John Gates, Thomas Mehan,
Frank Delarn and Charles Cranshaw.
The grand march in which 100 couples
participated, was led by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Newcomb, and the dancing, which
followed until late or rather early hour,
was INDUCED in by 125 couples. The music
was furnished by McClosky's orchestra.
During the evening a supper was served in
the ball room by Caterer Arnold.
Among the guests were noticed Charles
f. Luther and Chief Electrician Walter f..
Gibbs. The ball is understood to be an
annual fixture and from the high standard
of last nights dance will be an event to be
anticipated with pleasure.

SMALL FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Blaze Started from An Unexplained Cause
In Roll OF Carpet.

Blaze Started from Am Unexplained Cause
I'm a Roll OF Carpet.
About z o'clock last evening fire was
discovered in the three-story frame tene-
ment on Anthony street, near Main, owned
by Adolph Bonier. Officer Mcconnell
hearing cries of fire, rang in an alarm from
box 81, and the firemen promptly respond
ed. A line from the chemical engine soon
extinguished the blaze, which would have
proved serious with little more headway.
The third floor tenement, in which the
fire started, Is occupied by George Savery,
who yesterday moved his family from the
opposite apartments on the same floor.
The fire started in a roll of carpet which
stood at the head of the landing, the only
explanation Mr.. Savary could give was
that possibly some matches may have
dropped on the carpet and ignited. The
damage consists of charred woodwork and
will be slight.
The recovery of Mrs. Savery, who is con-
fined TO her bed by illness, will be retarded
by the shock experienced from the excite
ment.

New YORK, Dec. Sit is due more to
good luck than to careful management
that some one was not killed in a collision
that occurred on the Lexington avenue
cable line at One Hndred and Second
street last night.
There were three cars in the smash-up,
and the one in the middle was crashed
into by the others, which were going at
full speed in opposite directions
Such was the force of the collision that
the gas tank in the middle car exploded,
and, tearing away the bottom of the car, 1t
was hurled into the gutter. The three cars
were well filed, and most of the passengers
vert women. These became bysterical, but
no,one was seriously injured.

and 1t was happy thought of Mr.. Sloan's
to conceive. He is brother of the late
George s. knight, who made this comedy
SO famous some few years ago, and he en-
acts the same part (Snitz) as did his
brother, and it could not be placed In more
competent hands. Mr.. Sloan, who was
the principal comedian Of Rice's "14g2"
company which had such a long run In
New York city, will also introduce his
famous speciality OF the tramp, which made
such hit In Rice's "14s2." The original
bowery boy and author of "1'he Band
Played On" Charles b. Ward, is with him
and will introduce his speciality.
