Prince Bismarck q Rroin

We have heard much of the brain Of
Prince Bismarck. And now the an.
thropologist, Herr Otto Ammon, tells
us that it is probably the heaviest
brain known to anatomical science.
Fortunately the time has not vet come
when the exact weight of his brain can
be obtained, for the brain of the old
chancellor is still alert in his own head
and not lying upon the desk of the an.
atomist. But Herr Ammon, in con.
sultation with Professor Shaffer, tho
sculptor, has concluded from the meas.
urements taken for Skaters bust Of
the great statesman that the old mans
brain weighs as much as 1867 grammes,
and consequently exceeds in weight
that of the brain of any known genius
Cuvier's brain weighed 1880 grammes,
Byron's 1907, Kent's 1850, Schiller's
1880 and Dante's 1920. The average
weight Of the European and American
brain is only 13S0.-New York Com.

A fierce battle was fought between
man and bear in the Chicago Zoo
logical Gardens the other day, which
came very near proving fatal to the
man. The bear was a great Russian
grizzly, weighing nearly 500 pounds,
and the man, who was his keeper,
used no weapons except his fists.
The animals keeper, Cy De Vry,
had occasion to poke the old bear,
Billy, in order to exhibit him to some

vioiously. De Vry instantly caught

Judge Rogers, who heard the testimony
in the suit brought by John A. Carroll
against John Is. Allen, town treasurer Of
Warwick, has decided that Mr.. Carroll
is not entitled to the 5000 he sued to re-
cover for injuries received by him by
reason OF en- alleged defective highway or
any part thereof His honor on the con-
trary, declares the defendant entitled to
his costs
Carroll claimed that there was hole in
n macadamiZcd road between Apponaug
and East Greenwich into which the wheel
OF his wagon went and that he was
thrown out aLd had one of his wrists
broken.
1t was shown at the trial that no one, not
even the plaintiffs witnesses knew of the
defect complained of before o'clock on
tho morning of July 81, 1896, the day of
tho accident.
The town surveyor was working on the
road about mile from tho place tho
plaintiff complained of and he and four
other witnesses testified that they know
nothing Of any hole in the highway which
had been closely filled with dust.
The court holds thero was not fair

was tried without a jury under the pro-
visions of the statutes in regard to cases

TO TESTIFY In MANY CASES.

1t Is reported In legal circles that these
ten Italian spoilers are now in possession
OF testimony by which the police expect
To convict 65 persons, 80 of which are
against licensed dealers
There Is also a financial loss connected
with the work done by these men, for on
the stand one of them testified that he
had been given money TO purchase liquor
for those who were illegally engaged in
the traffic and he also said his chum had
been given money for similar purpose.
1t is estimated that to get tho evidence
against the 80 persons no less than sl25 Of
the city's cash has been expended by these
men all of which is undoubtedly wasted.
There Is still another cost TO be added,
should the testimony of the men be
taken for an Italian interpreter must DO

are that the city will DO saved this sum.

Did the Conductor Fall or
Was He Pushed Off?
East Providence Officers
Favor Latter Theory.
Unfortunate Man Was Near Front
OF Car When He Met Death.

The fatal accident to n. s. Hersey OF
the Crescent Park route at midnight, Sat
urday, has been the theme of talk by the
employees Of the Union Railroad Company
and large number Of citizens. IL was
believed to be an accident until yesterday,
when the police of East Providence heard
enough To awaken the suspicion that the
hapless conductor was the victim of reck-
less individuals on the car and that In
stead of falling from the car he was
pushed off. The East Providence police
are so far convinced of this version Of the
fatality that an inquest has been ordered.
Ii has been asccrtained that Hersey
was at the front OF the car whom he fell
or was pushed. Four men who
boarded the car near the car house at
Riverside persisted In making distur
bance and the conductor had gone to the
front twice ana requested the men to
keep quiet.

OPINION OF SOME PASSENGERS

Several passengers were of the opinion
that the fatality was purely an accident.
They said that the conductor slipped his
grip on the side of the car and losing his
balance fell to his death.
Hersey was 81 years of age and had a
wife and one child. The family lived on
Potters avenue until few days ago
when they moved to Riverside for the
summer. They boarded at Edward
Tobin's. Twin Cottages.
Hersey met with a serious accident on
this route last summer near the Pomham
Club house. While collecting fares he
leaned too far out and was knocked from
the footboard by trolley pole.
Since recovering from the effects Of that
fall be had been in the employ OF the
Union Railroad Company.
The result Of the investigation will be
watched with n great deal Of interest and
IL Hersey was murdered the murderers
will suffer. The police of East Providence
will find out whether IL was an accident
or violence that deprived the conductor
of life.
