Kingman Taken Into Gus
tOdy in Boston Today.
The Phillips CO. of This City
Brought Suit Against Him.
Claims That He Owes the Concern
Fifteen Hundred Dollars.

Richmond L. Kingman, the well known
owner and racer OF trotting horses,
whose stables are located at Grand
Rapids, Mich, was arrested at the Adams
house in Boston today on writ issued
by the Thomas w. Phillips Company OF
this city. this step being taken TO recover
the sum of $1,000, which, it is alleged,
Kingman owes the company.
Kingman has been the treasurer OF the
Pneumatic Torpedo and Construction
Company of New York. Some time ago
this corporation entered into contract
with the United States government to
furnish certain number of guns for
projectiles. The contract price was
$3.50, 200.
After the work of constructing these
projectiles had been commenced the
Pneumatic Torpedo and Construction
Company entered into a sub-contract
with the Thomas W. Phillips company
for a certain kind of copper work for
which they were to be paid about SIS
600. OF this amount all but $500 had been
paid and as this was Iecured by two
urer, his concluding payment was
allowed TO run.
Some weeks ago Kingman came to
Providence and on Saturday night, 1t is
claimed, he borrowed s25 from the
Thomas w. Phillips Company, promising
to return 1t on Monday. Since that time
he has not been heard from and yestsr-
day Mr.. Phillips and the company's at
torney. Harry G. Curtis. went to Boston
and obtained the papers for the arrest of
Kingman through the Office of Attorney
A. II. Latham.
Kingman was arrested this morning
and, as the Boston attorney teIephoned
offered to settle with the Providence peo-
pie IL he should be allowed ia go to the
Mystic track, where his string of dozen
horses are now stabbed.
To do this, however, necessitated vari-
Gus complications. The arrest was made
in Boston and Boston is in Suffolk county
while the Mystic track was in Middlesex
county, to which the Boston sheriff had
no right to take his prisoner. A great
deal Of telephoning followed, and at last
Mr.. Curtis consented to q scheme that
would enable his client to retain bis hold
upon the man, and at the same time al
low him to go TO Mystic to meet his
friends. This plan provided that the
Boston attorney should Issue more pa
pers, returnable In Middlesex, and de.
liver them to one of the authorized Off
cials of that county. Then. the sheriff of
Suffolk might take him TO the MiddIesex
line and deliver him to that county Off
cisI, who might take him to the track.
When his business there was concluded
he could pe returned TO Suffolk county
I'm the same manner and be all owed to
settle his case.
This plan also met with the approval
Of the Boston attorney, who said that it
should be carried out II Kingman was
willing 10 consent to such an arrange
ment.
1t Is believed that the case will be amic-
ably settled some time today.

It Is More Than 5000 in EX-
cess of Last Year.
There are Over $4,000 Citizens
Entitled to Cast Ballots.
Belief that at Least 900 Will Exercise
the Franchise Next Month.

One year ago there were In the city of
Providence 22,535 persons qualified to
vote for Mayor, and this total was divided
as follows. 12,s7S registry voters qualified
to vote ooly for Mayor and other gen.
eral offices, and 9657 real estate and per-
onal.property.voters qualified to cast bal
lots for Aldermen and Councilmen as
well as for general officers.
This year the figures, according to the
last tabulated statements of the Board of

election in the spring, are as follows: To-
tai mum Der Of qualified voters 25. 7Os; reg
istry voters 1886; real estate ana per-
sonal property voters 1882.
The Increase is: In total vote 3i73; in
realty vote 125; in registry vote, 3oss.
Some allowance must be made for tho
changes from the spring estimates as the
result of deaths and removals IN the last
six months, and what the actual decrea 10
from the 25, 70S is, can only be a matte.
vf guess work until after the final can
vas. The most conservative estimate.
however, is that %, 400 people will be able
10 vote iu this city on Novemb er il

ies, as shown by the evidence, is as con-
sistent with the view that a partnership
