ONE TO THREE.

But the Brakeman and His Lanterns Had
the Best Of the Argument.
There was very lively scrap at the depot
last night in which a freight brakeman
came out best i'm an encounter with three
tramps, with only lantern to defend
himself.
AS the local freight pulled out of the
Pawtucket yard on its way for Boston
about $3.50 last evening three hoboes
boarded the train, and were not discovered
until the train was passing the Broad
street crossing, when, by the aid of the
electric light, the tramps were discovered
by the brakeman who ordered them of,
but instead of complying with the request,
which was twice repeated, the men made
for the railroad man with the evident In
tention of doing him up. Armed vita
his lantern the brakeman gave the tramps
an exceedingly warm argument, and they
had gotten decidedly the worst OF the en-
counter when the train was stopped, and
the hoboes were put off, Officer Sweet
was not at the depot when the affair took
place. No arrests were made.

John Holyoke Claims to Have Lost ZIG
This Morning.
As Chief Rice was on his way to dinner
at noon today he was informed that man
was on stoop on Garden street and that
he had been seen to drink something out
of bottle.
The Chief telephoned to the station, and
the covered wagon was sent to the place,
and visions of another suicide foated
through the minds Of the reporters at the
station.
In short time the wagon returned and
in 1t was John A. Holyoke of Worcester,
Mass, who had undoubtedly been drink
ing something out of bottle, but 1t was
not poison-that is, the poison that kills
Immediately.
DIR. jerks soon arrived and after looking
the man over decided that he was suffering
from the effects Of bad liquor, SO did every
one else around the station. After being
placed in Q cell Holyoke Immediately went
to sleep, and 10 was with difficulty that he
could be aroused sufficiently to talk.
Sergt. Gardiner managed to get the in
formation that he had f16 In his pockets
this morning and that some one had given
him drink. Further than that he had no
recollection.
80 for the present 1t Is q question
whether Holyoke was given something In
the nature of knockout drops, or whether
the financial part of the story Is imagina-
tion Of a disordered brain.

FUNERAL OF MRS. GAMMELL
OBSEQUIES TOOK PLACE IN THE
CHURCH SHE HAD ERECTED.
Friends Gather Around Her Bler-Inte rmeut
Occurred at Swan Point Cemetery.

The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Gammell
was held In the Church of the Messiah In
Providence yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Gammell died in Europe about two weeks
ago, and as she had always expressed the
desire to be buried from the Church of the
Messiah, which she had erected as a men,
orial to her son, Arthur Gammell, the re-
mains were brought to Providence and
yesterday they rested In the edifice which
her wealth had given to poor parish.
The funeral was of most simple char
acter, and there were no words of eulogy
spoken. The Rev. c. A. l.. Richards, ID.
D., the rector of st. Johns Church, read
the church service, with the Rev. Z. II.
Porter assisting.
In the church were assembled representa-
tions of all the old families Of Rhode
Island, as well as nearly every member of
the highest society of Providence, but
mingled with these were many who were
aged and showed signs of poverty, and
they were among the most sincere mourn
ers, for they had come to pay the last trib-
ute OF love and esteem to their benefactor.
The remains were inferred in Swan
Point cemetery.

THE PEDLER'S STORY.

An Arabian Nights Entertainment at the
Police Station Last Evening.
Acting Captain vananda is thinking Sc
riously of studying Arabic, and knowl-
edge of the language would undoubtedly
have been of great assistance to him last
night when he received call from an
Arabian pedler.
As near as could be understood the man
makes living by selling dry goods and
fancy articles, and he has partner who Is
named Antoine Moses. Antoine Is married,
and while the peddlers were plying their
trade yesterday the woman returned in
time to find two young men and a boy
looking over the stock Of the vendors,
which is stored In room on the third
floor of the house In which they live.
It was to explain this happening that
the Arabian visited the station last night,
and with the aid Of friend who talked
English with Q wonderful accent poured
out q tale of woe In q dialect that would
make his fortune on the variety stage In Q
minute.
