PAWTUXET VALLEY.
Dry Goods Store at Arctic Broken
Into and Robbed.
The Knights Win Shut Down Fiskeville
MIL Indefinitely.

The dry goods store of Sinnott Bros,
at Arctic Center was broken into again
last evening and the burglars helped
themselves TO the best the store afforded.
The store was entered in the same man
ner that 1T was year ago. The robbers
broke large pane of glass In the front
door and after gaining AN entrance ap-
parently examined the stock and helped
themselves TO the best I'm the place. After
examining the goods on the counters
they helped themselves to some spring
clothing and shoes and departed as they
came, through the hole in the front
door leaving no trace behind. This
morning Mr. Sinnott could not tell exactly
how much had been taken, but he did
not think that the loss would amount to
over 500.

perance Union met In its rooms In the

Considerable excitement was caused in
the valley this morning by the report that
the Fiskeyille mills, owned by Is. B. *
probability would never again be started.
The cause of the excitement was the
orders which were received few days
ago to work up all of the stock on hand.
superintendent Carey said this morning
that he received orders to run off the goods
i'm process of manufacture and shut down
the mill, but beyond his orders he knew
nothing Of the Intentions of the firm II
regard to the plant. The Fiskeville mil
is one of the oldest in tho valley and tn,
machinery is old and out of date. IL ha
been kept in n good condition as possible
however, and today is in fairly good run
ming order. The mill which is a compare
lively small one, has not proved to be ,
paying investment for some years and al
though IL could not be ascertained thi
morning it is probable that the profit de
rived from it would not warrant the ex
pense Of replacing the old machinery b.
new. The result of the shutting down O
the mill will be felt by the business mel
of the village, which has never been
very hustling place, and the operatives
many of whom have worked In the mil
for years, will also be embarrassed by beinI
thrown out Of work at the present time.

GRANTS BODY.-The body of
General Grant was removed on the
afternoon Of the 18th from the tenn
porary tomb which has sheltered it
for nearly twelve years, to the i'm
posing mausoleum which is designed
to be its permanent resting place. -
There was no elaborate ceremonial,
and beyond the attendance of q
guard Of honor, the removal was ac-
complished without special incident.
The interest Of the public in the
event was attested by the presence
of several thousand people, although
the hour for removal had not been
previously announced.
The cover of the steel case which
had held the casket was removed
some days before. This cover had
been held in place by several scores
of rivets, and a great deal of time
was required to remove it. The
first work on the 18th was to remove
the lid OF the cedar box. There
were four wreaths and a sheaf of
wheat on this lid. There they had
been for nearly twelve years, but
they were in remarkably good
state of preservation.
The casket was placed in the sar-
cophagus at once, without any fur
ther ceremonial. The lead casing
was sealed, and then the massive
cover of the porphyry sarcophagus
was lowered into place by use Of q
derrick.
The ceremonies in New York on
the 27th, attending the dedication OF
the splendid monument built in
Riverside Park to the memory OF
General Grant, will be of a very inn
posing character. There will be a
great military and civic display.

Some Of our Democratic gold bug
contemporaries are greatly nauseated
by the horrible prescriptions DR..
Dingley is giving them the in form of
high-protectiou pills. But having
selected their physician when they
voted for Mckinley, the great Aes-
culapius of the high tariff system,
warranted to cure all the ills the
country is heir to, they must take,
notens COlenS, the remedies he pre-
scihes, let them be never so nauseat-
ing and bitter. They are crying like
babes and kicking like mules, but
their cries are unheard and their
kicks make no impression. The
Baltimore Ne'CS, Democratic
journal which supported Mckinley,
referring to the opposition of the
gold bug contingent to the Dingley
bill, walls out thus:
"Their sense of right and decency
is outraged now, not because the
party Is pressing measure for an
increase of the tariff above the Will
son tariff, but because it is engaged
in pushing protectionism to a point
never before reached, and is show
ing in such matters as the retroactive
clause and the duty on scientific in
struments and on books a spirit of
ruthlessness never before equaled."
What else did you expect, pray,

Was not the tariff one of the issues
of the campaign? Having made

DON'T TRIFLE WITH THE Gun
A deplorable accident took place at
Huntington Sunday night, the 18th,
by which Miss Flora Teubert lost
her life.
1t appears that r. b. Woods, a
young man, had been paying his re-
spects to the young lady and was
there in the evening, and upon leav-
ing he was accompanied to the hall
by the young lady. In thought
less manner she remarked that she
would likely die during the week -
Upon this, young Woods took out n
pistol, which was of 81 calibre, and
pointing il toward her, said: " |
will give you something TO help you
along" In some way the pistol was
discharged. The ball entered the
breast, but did not strike the heart
The girl suffered great agony for
twenty-four hours and then died.
Young Woods WAS astounded when
the gun fired, and is almost crazed
because OF the accident. He says he
cannot account for it's going off, a.
he does not remember of having
pulled the trigger.
MORAL: D0n't tritie with the gun;
