Iconoclast Brann is the Cause of the
Suit.

of j. NJ. Kelse, editor Of the Magno-
liza Journal, against Il. L. Emmer-
son and his two daughters, editors
of the Columbia Banner, for $1,000

verss between the two papers rela-
tive to the merits OF the writings Of

"despicable skunk, "deprayed

Corn has deteriored owing to lack
OF moisture, and peas, sorghum, and

Stock water is becoming scarce in

CENTRAL SECTION.

The temperature averaged AZ de-
grees per day above the normal, and
no rain has fallen except in a few
widely scattered localities.
Cotton has deterierated in most
localities, while in the northwest
part Of this section the condition
continues good and very promising
Rust and blight has appeared in
most cotton fields and is damaging
the crop considerably. Picking has
commenced but will not be general
until about Sept. 18th. Mr. j H.
Hudson, of Pine Bluff, Jefferson
County, says: "Rust has injured
cotton materially in a large part OF
the county. Worms will be plenti-
full by the last OF next week but
hardly numerous enough to damage
cotton much. Mr. Chas. McNally
OF Fairfield, Jefferson County, says:
Worms covering fields in wide ter
rltory, Raging the leaves The
week has been the most disastrous
OF the year. Hot, dry winds with
cool nights have caused cotton to
shed all squares and small bolls, the
grounds being covered with them.
The damage cannot be relieved even
by rain at this time. Plants whiting
and in warv placas dying. From in
dicutions worms will destroy all
leaves and squares by Sept. 10th to
18th" Mr.. g. r. Motsinger. OF Cas-
cade, Faulkner county, says: Cot
tor is generally in good condition. II
very little rust but no preceptille
damage. The crop is better than at
this time last year" Mr.. w. j.
Locke, of Lonoke County, says 4:
Cotton suffering from the excessive
heat, the crop will be considerably
shorter than was supposed two

Meeting Of Joint Standing
Committee on Highways
This Evening.
Autopsy Held Yesterday Upon
the Body Of Henry WeIch by
the Medical Examiner.
,LICRNCE BOARD MET LAST NIGHT.
A Simple But Profitable Invention Nuisance
Ordered Abated- -Rawson Eldredge Dead
Dawson Road Race-Local Notes.

This evening there will be a meeting OF
the joint standing Committee on High
ways to consider the petition Of j. Henry
Fales that the city assist him to defray
the cost OF moving one Of his buildings
OFF the public highway. The house In
question Is a four tenement block, which
now rests some 10 or II inches on the
city's property. The building is located
next to the one occupied by Hiscox's
bakery on High street. When High street
was widened Mr.. Fales sold to the city
a certain number OF feet of land, and 1t
was understood at the time that Mr.. Fales
was to move all of the buildings back,
except the one in question, at his own ex-
pense. The conditions then imposed upon
both parties were carried out.
Mr.. Fales for some little time has been
contemplating extensive changes, and now
ne wants the city to assist him In moving
back the present structure. He also ap-
piled for a permit to raise the building
and build two stores on the lower floor.
Mr.. Fales was present at the meeting Of
the Board of Aldermen, and in answer to
question put to him by President East
wood admitted that the city had paid him
in full for all the land taken. OF course
the action of the commit zee cannot be an
ticipated, but 1t is safe to presume that it
will act according to the best interests Of
both parties concerned.

ROBBERS STILL AT LARGE

Strenuous Efforts Being Made by Police
Department to Capture Them.
Although strenuous efforts are being put
forth by the police department to capture
the men who assaulted and robbed the
man named Mccall they are still at large.
1t transpires now that there were three
men together early in the evening and one
of them was q colored man. There was
some suspicion that q man who was ar
rested yesterday was one Of the guilty par
ties, but 1t was impossible to connect him
with the robbery. 1t IL safe to say that
the men disappeared from this locality as
soon as the deed was done, as two men an
swering the description given, were seen
hurrying through Valley Falls about S:15
o'clock that evening. In all probability
they headed for Woonsocket Immediately
after committing the assault. In the fu-
ture the police officials will take no
chances with strangers, and any one act
ing in suspicious manner, and who can
not give q good account Of himself will be
detained pending further investigation.

The SENATE TO ORGANIZE
SETTLEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE
QUESTION IS IN SIGHT.
Republicans Accepted Democratic Proposition
Plan 10 psf War Vessels on Reserve List.

Washington, April A.-The Repub.
lean senator's In caucus have decided
to accept the proposition made by the
opposition for the filling OF the senate
committees, leaving the arrangement
Of the details to Senator McMillan's COM
n.ittee on committees.
The caucus also considered the Ques-
tion Of filling the elective offices OF the
senate, and the managing committee
was authorized to negotiate with the
opposition. to the end OF securing divi-
sion OF these places.
Both the secretary and the sergeant
alarms OF the senate are Democrats,
and the Republicans think they should
be allowed To name a man 10 flll one
Of these places. The details OF this ne
gotiation will be left TO a sub-commit-
tee consisting OF Messrs. Mcmillan. Lodge
and Spooner.
The appointment OF this committee
was made upon the recommendation OF
Senator Baker, who suggested that the
Republicans should be given the secre-
taryship Of the senate. He also said there
should be a readjustment of the patron
age Of the places, which would ensure to
each senator his full share In accordance
with the arrangements Of two years ago.

ABATING A NUISANCE.
A Resident OF Claremont Street Notified
TO That Effect.

A Resident OF Claremont Street Notified
70 That Effect.
Word was brought to the police station
Wednesday night that resident of Clare
mont straet was emptying the contents OF
his vault in close proximity to the house
OF his neighbor. 1t seems that he had dug
two large trenches under the bedroom
window OF his neighbor, and had partly
filed one of them with the contents of the
vault. Although 1t was upon his own
property, yet It Is clearly against the sani-
tary laws of the city, and punishable with
q fine. The complainant has family OF
nine children, and he was afraid that this
proceeding might cause considerable sick
ness in his family.
Health Officer DIR. Mann visited the
place yesterday and notified the man to
stop work and fill up the hole. 1t seems
that the person in question did not take
kindly to the orders given and intimated
that he would do as he pleased in the
matter. 1t was thought that he might re-
peat the performance last evening, and to
prevent any attempt of the kind the place
was kept under police surveillance last
evening until Late hour.

Simple Yet q Powerful Factor in Saving
Coal.
Superintendent Parker of the United
States Cotton Company and Thomas p.
Burke, engineer at the same place, have
just patented device for regulating the
draught on q boiler. The device Is very
simple, yet it is of such . character that
thousands Of dollars can be saved In q
year. 1t is simple rod which is attached
to the valve, and 1t 10 30 constituted that
it regulates the draught and keeps the
steam at a regular pressure, not varying
one pound during the whole day. Quite q
few of them have been placed in different
mills, and in every instance they have
given excellent satisfaction. At the Wam-
sutta mills, New Bedford, the company
claim that 1t saves them $50 per week.
Mr.. Parker has been offered 10000 for the
right, but he refused 1t unless there was
royalty clause added to the contract.

THE LICENSE BOARD


Met Last Evening and Considered the First
BsAch OF Licenses.
A special meeting of the Board of
License Commissioners was held lasteve-
ming to consider the first batch Of licenses
for the ensuing year. The incidents which
made the meetings of the Board 80 lively
Last year were absentevening, probably sbe-
cause those people who would have bean
present TO raise objections to somo Of tho
licenses being granted, felt that under ex-
listing circumstances, II would be useless
to waste the timc. Last year strong pro-
test was raised against some Of the places,
but they were OF no avail % nearly al were
granted except those governed by the
statutes.
There were very few spectators present
in the District Court room when the meet
ing was called to order. One OF the most
prominent persons present was The Sage of
Rrailrosd Street, John r. Deapis. Il was
noticed, too, that he held . quiet little
confab with President Sloan OF the Board
in the hallway previous to the meeting.

manner or whether he was there - q

AN AUTOPSY HELD

Yesterday Upon the Body of Henry welch
the Victim of the Bicycle Accident.
An autopsy was held yesterday afternoon
upon the body Of Henry welch, the victim
of the bicycle accident, Wednesday night
on Broad street. The Medical Examiner,
when he learned of the circumstances of
of the case, felt that an inquest ought to
be held in order to learn the exact cause
of his death. When the young man was
lying upon the bench at the police station
the statements of the young man who wss
with him at the time Of the accident were
very contradictory.
When questioned by DR.. Mann he de-
MED all knowledge Of the injured mans
identity, and said that he was riding be-
hind him when the accident occurred. He
further said that the rider who was COM
ing from the Pawtucket direction was not
dismounted by the collision, but kept on
his way toward Valley Falls. A few mo-
ments after he admitted that he knew the
young mans wife and would go after her.
This6tory does not coincide with state
ment made yesterday by Mr.. Ponton, bar
tender for Lamorine on Broad street. Mr..
Ponton was on his way home from his
work and the collision occurred directly
III iTOhb Va
Mr.. Ponton says that there were but two
bicycle riders in the vicinity at the time,
and those were the parties to the collision.
Both riders Mr.. Ponton says 'wepe thrown
from their bicycles, and that the other
rider assisted him to carry Welch from the
middle of the car track to the sidewalk.
After making the remark" 81 guess heiis not
hurt badly" Mr.. Ponton says, the other
bicycle rider rode of. The two stories
differ materially, and give ground for the
belief that an inquest Is necessary to bring
out the full facts in the case. One says
that he was there and the other says prac-
tically that he was not.
At the inquest yesterday afternoon
Medical Examiner French was assisted by
DIR. Marshall, Medical Examiner of Cum
berland, DIR. Kingman of Pawtucket and
DR.. Mann. They found lineal fracture
Of the left temple bone four inches long.
This was directly over the temple. The
anterior and middle miningeai arteries
were ruptured, and these had caused q
hemorrhage of the brain, and the hemor-
rhage had caused . compression of the
brain. No other marks were found on
the body, most complete investigation
failing to locate any. An inquest has
been ordered, and in all probability 1t will
be held In few days.
