but even as Bryant uttered these words
Monahan discharged the gun and Gau-
thier fell. Bryant saw the blood squirt
from his comrades breast and within an
instant lodged behind Monahan and out
of the door.
Thinking the murderer was after him,
Bryant fed through the town and found
shelter under barn until daylight when
he gave tho alarm, notifying Selectmen
Woodbury. Gates and Irving Fogg who ut
once started on Monahan's trail.
No one can be found who saw the
murderer leave the coal mans shanty or
who came in contact with him until
about o'clock, when Talleyrand Good
enough, laborer, who lives near the
Grand Trunk track, about one-sixth.of
mile from the freight yard, met the man
walking on the track.
WITH GUN POINTED AT HIM.
Monahan, still carrying his gun, came
wildly toward Goodenough waving his
arm. Goodcpough stood still. Monahan
came up with rush and, raising his gun,
shouted that he had already killed two
men, and he ordered Goodenough TO
throw up his hands. The workman put
him to move along in front OF him. With
the gun pointed at his back Goodenough
started. and with arms still extended in
obedience to Monahan's command, he
marched down nearby street and around
the village cemetery, which is not far
from the Grand Trunk tracks at this
point.
There was apparently no other purpose
in the murdcrer's mind than to frighten
tho victim, and when he had accom-
plished this. he suddenly turned away,
leaving Goodenough by the cemetery
fence, and went up Church street. which
crosses the railroad not far away.
Just as Monahan reached the crossing
selcotmen Gates ana Fogg, who had
come up the track, met him. Mr.. Gates
stepped quickly toward Monahan, whr,
without word. levelled the gun which
he still carried. and fired the contents Of
its second barrel almost in the select
mans face.
MURDERER DISARMED.
The shot scattered and some severed
tho jugular vein. As the gun flashed MIR.
Fogg attempted to seize Monshsn. The
murderer clubbed his gun and aimed a
blow at Mr.. FoRg's head. The latter
wardsd the blow with his arm, receiving
a severe bruise. and he grapplcd with
Mopahan. Both men went to the ground
but Mr.. Fogg gained the mastery and dis

A NEW CHURCH.

On. May Soon Be Erected on Orchard
Avenue.
Some little time since the members of
the Calvary Church purchased and partly
paid for lot OF land on Orchard avenue
between Wayland and Butler av,nues.
From present indications it is more thau
probable that sufficient money to con-
clude the purchase OF the lot and to erect
church edifioe will soon be in hand,
and IL is expected that ground will be
broken for the building shortly.
The building will not be Of pretentous
size, but will have n pleasing appearance,
and the lot is of sufficient size for the
erection of more commodious structure
should tho occasion demand later. The
edifce in contemplation will have a
seating capacity Of 224, and will cost
approx imatsIy $1,000.

THE CABLING GOO-GOOS.

Already we are being treated TO sugges-
tions as to how different and how much
better the City Assembly ticket selected
10y the truly good twenty of the Muleague
will act when it takes it's soats in the
State House than the citizens of Providence
have been accustomed TO witnessing i'm the
common practices of its delegations in the
past. According to these interesting
notices the thirteen of the Mulcague are
"best men,, citizens who are regardless
of politics. tho better element " business
and professional men who sacrifice their
personal convenience to the public in
terests and so are allowing the use of
their names" on the Goo Goo ticket etc,
etc., al nauseum.
What stuff and nonsense it all is. The
old ghost Of the municipal campaign of
1896 is TO be yanked out and put through
its PAGES for the State campaign of 1897.
We take IL that since the fall of 1895 the
citizens of Providence have had a lesson
in the fantastic politics of Goo .Gooism,
its cant, its Philistinism, its hypocrisy
and its uncomfortable prctentiousncss.
