TIDINGS FOR FIFTH WARDERS.

1t has been known for some time in the
Fifth Ward Republican Committee that
Councilman Thomas w. Waterman would
not be a candidate for re-election this fall
but the leaking out of the news was
received with general surprise and regreU
throua hout the ward.
Councilman Waterman notified the COM
mitteo some time ago. lie recognizes the
strong sentiment in his behalf among
his constituency where he has already
served faithfully for tour terms but the
growth of his business and the iinpor-
tant work to be done by the Friendship
Street Church Society of which he is u
conspicuous leader, with other objectiors
demand so muct or his tiIne that he feels
entitled to be relieved from further SER
vice in the city government.
A report no less surprising and regret
able TO Fifth Warders is the informal an
nouncement that school Comm tteeman
James II. Smith will decline to serve an-
other term. Mr.. Smith has been on the
school committee thin iteen years and Is
recogninzed as one of its ablest ana
most conservative members whose SER
vices to our public schools have been un.
usually notable.
MIR. William Andrews of Andrews 81
Son the fruit dealers, is mentioned for
g councilman Waterman IS shoes, as yet no
one has been suggesteded for Mr. Smiths

"Narragansett Hotel. Hall & Johnson,
Lessees and Proprietors.
AT six o'clock this morning that be-
came the sign OF the big and famous
hosteIry that for 20 years has stood Provi-
dence in good stead when she has had
visitors and has offered them as good
accommodations as could DO found any
where the country over.
The new proprietors are not new to the
city or to the notei. Indeed. they have
been here as long as the hotel has an
have been in the hotel since the day il
opened. They did not exactly begin busi-
ness with the laying OF the foundation
stone, but they were on the ground ana
settled down TO stake their fortunes with
the Narraga- sett when the doors were
opened-a mem Sriable day. that was, too,
nineteen and half years ago.
But that is another story. Ii is here the
purpose TO tell about the new proprietoTs,
rather than about the hotel whose history
is part of Providence.
So many. folk all over this broad land
know Hail and Johnson that it would
ordinarily seem quite unnecessary TO in
trJduos them. But as most people here
in their own city live at home and not in
hotels IL Is fair TO presume that with the
renewed public interest that the change
in proprietorship of the hotel has arous-
ed, there is considerable curiosity to see
what the two new men look like and
what kind Of fellows they are.
The thousands that know Mr.. Hall
and Mr.. johnson would probably unani-
mously declare that they are good busi-
moss men ard good fellows and If they
don't know all there is to know about
the hotel business IL isn't because they
haven't talent and epXeri5nce-for they
have den onstrated the former and evil

leans. 1t was just after the war that Mr..
Hall began his career with the New Or
leans engagement and ho has thus fol-
lowed it uDinterruptedly for thirty years.
And he Is still a young man.
He was four years with the New York

clerk. Up to o'clock this morning he
has been for many years cashier OF tho
hotel and it Ia In that position that his
face is most familiar tn the travelling
public who would rather pay bills to him
than perhaps any other hotel cashier in
the land. he does it 80 nicely.
Mr.. James Edward johnson came with
Mr.. Hall upon the opening Of the Nara
gansett. For years he has ofliciated as
head room clerk and thousands feel
cordially acquainted with about the
pleasantest faced ana most modest man
that ever Yraoed hotel office.
Mr.. johnson is Windham County.

boyhood home for some time where he
attended tho Dudley A Academy, and in
y orwicb, he secured on Office training

section.
He didn't come to the management
rs head room clerk by any means. Like
his partner and long time associate, MIR.
Johnson began near the bottom-rather
nearer than Mr.. Hall because the latter
was an experienced hotel man when he
came 70 the town. while MIR. Johnson was
entirely new to the business. Mr.. John
son began az cashier of the cafo. And he
kept on up through the position of night
clerk to head clerk. Today he is pro-
prietor and every body is glad to see Hall
and johnson there.
The hotel will have thorough over
hauling and rettting and, Of course, a
new elevator capable Of running good
deal more than one story in five minutes.
This morning the new proprietors were
found comfortably installed. Indeed
patrons who looked for them in their old
places found them apparently Just there,
though new men were doing the actual
work Of their former positions as cashier
and hesd clerk respectiN ely. The new
appointments are: A. Baker. head room
clerk. w. IL. Marshall, assistant. II. w.
Anderson. cashier, and A. T.. Hopkins,

naturally been dropping in thick and fast

Engine.

Experts Tell of the Condition of the
Engine.
Coroner Lincoln continued his inquiry
yesterday afternoon into the cause of the
accident at the Providence Rubber Shoe
Works.
Charles II. Kulgore said that from ap-
pearances OF the water gauges he thought
that the old boiler was in running order
but that the new one showed too much
water.
That being the case it would be danger
Gus TO have too much water in the boilers
and If there was too much water it
would show caraessness on the part of
the engineer. Later he examined the
engine ana took out the piston head and
did not find any water In tho oyclinder.
There was hardly a possibility that the
boiler might be too full and yet the
water not get into the cylinder for
generally the water went into the
cylinder when the boiler was too full.
