Unexpected Death OF Several Prominent

NEWPORT, March 9.-The Democrats
opened their campaisa on Saturday even
ing when they held ward caucuses for
the purpose Of electing delegates to the
city convention tonight, when the as
sembly ticket will tie chosen. In the fifth
ward the. caucus chose members for the
city committee, not caring to have the
convention do this for them. Who their
Assembly candidates wilt. be Is causing
much speculation. Strange things happen
in these days, and each day heralds the
news OF supposed staunch Democrat
being in the ranks of the Republicans.
The party has.yet to select leader, be-
ing without one since Colonel Honey re-
tired from politics.
Yesterday there were a number OF
deaths in Newport, several occasioning

was in the death of Mr.. W. b. DE Blois,

He was on the street less than a week
ago. Mr.. Thomas Simpson also died,

twenty live years leader of the Newport
band. lie leaves large family. Mrs.
Everett j. Gorton also passed away after
a lingering illness.
The weeks services held under the
auspices OF the Evangelistic Association
of New England came to close last
night with union service in Central
Baptist church at 8 O'Clock, the building
not being able to accommodate the peo-
pie. The best speakers in New England
have been present and much good has
been done.
The report that Mr.. Cornelius Wander
bilt Is secluded in this city is without

EDGEWOOD.

Among Edgewood's most urgent needs
Is that of public library and reading
room. The literary society established two
years ago has accumulated con lderable
number OF books and magazines, and IL
willing to contribute them as nucleus OF
public library whenever suitable room
shall be provided for such an enterprise.
At present no room is available for the
purpose, and several projects for securing
one rave been discussed by those inter-
ested In the project. The latest plan sug-
gested Is that the town be asked TO make
the contemplated addition to the school
house of this district sufficiently large to
admit of one room being used for library
purposes. 1t is thought that SO small
request as this Will be granted readily in
view OF the fact that Edgewood has re-
ceived but few benefits from the town,
while 1t has contributed more largely
than any other section to improvements
in other parts OF the town. An effort will
be made in this direction.
About the first of April ground will be
broken for the erection of a handsome
edifice to be used by the Congregational
Society for Sunday school purposes and
as temporary place OF worship. 1t will
be located at the corner of Arnold avenue
and Broad street, and will be built OF
stone. Its cost will be about $4,000.
Never before has this community been
SO stirred politically as at present. The
turning down of Senator Merrill by the
caucus held last Wednesday meets with
almost universal dIsapproval. In this
Republican stronghold only three men
are known to be opposed to Mr.. Merrill's
reelection to the Senate. The expressed
sentiment here is that the caucus was cal
led and conducted in such a way as to
prevent the Republican voters OF the
town from expressing their choice as to
candidate. and Mr.. Merrills friends have
demanded that he shall run as an inoe-
pendent candidate. Nomination papers
have been signed by the requisite num-
ber of qualified voters, and, the Demo
cratic caucus has endorsed his candidacy.
Edgewoodites recognize in the attempt
to depose Mr.. Merrill, the purpose of
some OF the city charter advocates to sad
die city government upon the town OF
Cranston whether the people want it or
not. The people of this section do not
endorse the city Of Cranston project.
They prefer separate district; but real
izing that this cannot be obtained this
year, they prefer to remain under the
town form OF government until favor
able time arrives for securing what they
want.
