The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-05-26
While the Front Approach is
Pretty, the Rear Part isa
Standing Disgrace.
TROUBLE ON THE "BOWERH. .
Electric Wire Support Charged With the
Dangerous Element Findings In the Petit
Case-Charged With an Alleged Assault.

II is given out on good authority that
the entrance on the Washington street
side of jerks Park will receive the atten-
tion of the city fathers at no distant day.
In conversation with a member OF the
Common Council TRIBUNE reporter
learned that something in that direction
would be attempted in the near future.
While the park has one OF the prettiest
front entrances In New England, the rear
entrance Is a disgrace to the city, and In
the opinion of the councilman ought to be
attended to at once.
He further remarked that the majority
of the citizens of the city lived to the
westward of the park and were entitled to
a respectable entrance on that side. For a
small amount of money the city could pur-
chase two OF the estates, tear down the
buildings and make wide driveway and
entrance that would compare favorable
with the other parts oi the park.
Another important matter which may
be the cause of trouble and may result in
suit against the city some day is the lack
of light in that locality.
At the rear end there is steep embank-
ment and several people have had narrow
escapes from meeting with mishaps while
walking along the embankment after
nightfall. 1t is particularly dangerous
place and one that should receive the at
tention OF the City Council before some
one receives an injury there.
Arrested For Assault.
John Ready was arrested last evening for
an alleged assault upon Francis Quinn OF
summer avenue, his father-in-law. 1t
seems from the story that Ready and his
wife have not been living together for
sometime, owing, according to the state
ment of the wife, to the Ill treatment she
has received from her husband. Late yes
terday afternoon Ready and some COM
panions went to the house looking for the
woman. While there Quinn, the father
in-law, an old man, came home from work,
and In passing into the house said some
thing to Ready about the manner In which
he had treated his wife.
Whereupon, 30 1t Is alleged, Ready
knocked the old man down and gave him
. horrible beating, cutting him In several
places. Some boys who witnessed the
affair went and told Officer Coombs Of the
ARRAY, and he went in search Of Ready.
When Ready saw that the officer was look
ing for him he started on the run to evade
the officer. Then began spirited race, in
which Officer Stafford joined. Ready, pur-
sued by the two officers and followed by
two or three hundred interested specta-
tors, raced through Washington street to
jerks Park, to Broad street, and thence to
High street, where Ready was captured
and taken to the police station. During
the race when the officers saw that Ready
was liable to escape them they took posses
sion of a passing team, which enabled
them to overtake the fugitive.
The Excelsior Club.
The Excelsior Club, an organization
composed of some of the leading French
citizens of this city, will present the drama
''The Two Orphans" at the Pawtucket
Opera House this evening. Some little
time ago the same club produced the STIR
ring drama, "The Master Of the Forge" at
the same place and it proved grand finan-
cial success. The present drama is one
that appeals to the susceptibilities of the
itheatregoer, and in this particular in
stance, the amateur actors being of unex-
ceptional ability, a positive success Is
assured.
Moro Trouble On the Bowery.
Every once In a while some Of the in
la5itants of the "Bowery" fare up and
make reading matter for the people of the
city. Last evening Manoog Noradian re-
ported at the police station that he had
been assaulted by one, Negles Anvasdrian.
The alleged assault took place in one -
the Armenian boarding houses. It seems
that Noradian is cook in one of these
places AMI has to provide for 22 men.
Anvasdrian is one of the boarders, and
last night while at supper found fault be-
cause his ham and eggs were not kept
warm for him.
Noradian said that he told the irate
bOarder that he was doing the best he
could for all, not intending to slight any
one in particular, but according to this
statement this answer was not satisfactory,
and there was an immediate mixture of
broiled ham and eggs, men, boarders and
dishes, and when the debris was cleared
away he was found at the bottom pretty
well used up. 1t was rather difficult to
get a connected story from him so he was
instructed to 60 and get the Armenian
interpreter, and make formal charge.
Noradian left with that intention, but at a
late hour last night had not returned.
Charged With Electricity.
Quite an amount Of excitement was
caused last evening at the corner of Dexter
and Darling streets at the discovery that
one Of the electric car poles was charged
with electricity. II was, first noticed by
two young men, one Of whom leaned up
against the pole and received a severe
shock. The policeman on that beat was
notified and he sent word to the police
station. Sergeant Louks notified the au-
thorities at the car barn, and the defect
was remedied at once. In very short
space Of time when the fact had got noised
about Of the peculiar occurrence there was
