CRANSTON.
People are Now Discussing the Tax Rates.
General Mention.

That which touches mems pocketbooks most
attracts their attention. Thus it is now in
Cranston. The probable tax rate for next
wear is being warmly discussed. The rate
now Is 81 on every 500 valuation. Town
Treasurer Balm estimates that the running
expenses OF the town will be about sl50,0)0.
This does not incluie extraordinary expendi-
lures such as have been recommended by
Street supervisor Conley and others that will
probably be asked for. The repairing of Dyer
avenue at 5000; the completion OF the APP
proaches 10 the new bridge near the Cranston
print works at 5000; the macadamizing of AL
lens a enue at about s25, 600, and: tler smaller
jobs will likely make total of at least s4O,-
900. This, added to the necessary appropria-
tions for the running expenses, makes total
of $4,000. Liquor licenses will bring into
the treasury about $500, and money owed to
the town for curbing may make the balance
Of $40 0OO This will leave sls0,00J to be OBJ
tained from taxes. Now, TO raise $4,000 on
a valuation Of $40. 900 tax rate of 7-l0
per cent, or sl.70 on every 800 valuation
will be necessary This is not popular rate
and will not be adopted, but ii is evident that
a cut must needs pe made somewhere else
necessitate another issue of bonds. The tax
rate advocated by many is S1.25. Town Treas
urer Balm, Mr.. Frank Budlong and others Ia
yor tax rate of sl.25. A rate of A.25 on
every 500 of valuation will yield an income of
sig3. $50, which, together with about $4,000
cx ected from liquor licenses and curbing
work not yet paid for, will give total of
Sls8s50. This sum will be consumed in the
necessary expenditures "a follows: $4,000
schools $4,000 for sinking fund, interest on
floating debt and discounts: $1,000, state tax {;
$1,000. salaries; $3.50, gas and gasoline lights
tno electricity; $4,000, general highways;
s 800, watering streets; $3.50, police service; i;
$500. relief of towns poor; s3000 stone
crusher; and $1,000 for the annual mscellane-
ous APPROPRIATION. This makes total of Sll2.-
90. Allowinga inargin for taxes uncollect-
able, even this may not be spent II the
town wishes to keep the expenditures within
the receipts. Ihe above list provides for no
special work upon tho highways The $4,000
for general highways and bridges will not be

As A VAGRANT.
Brown Was Sentenced In the Dis
trict Court.
Detectives Will Continue Looking VI
HIS Record, However.

The man giving his name as James A.
Brown who was arrested on Prospect
street at 9 10 o'clock yesterday morning by
Sergeant Gilmartin Il puzzler for the
members Of the detective department..
They cannot get from him word by
which they can locate him. That he Is a
slick fellow, there is no doubt, and every
effort will be made TO connect him with
the Young and Sturges burglarics. There
is one thing positive, the attempt to break
into George Lippitt's residence on Young
Orchard avenue cannot be charged to him,
for when the residence was attacked
Brown was i'm cell mt the Wickenden
street station and had been for two hours
or more. just how far the detectives have
probed his case has not as yet been made
public. In the Sixth district court this
morning Brown was arraigned on the
charge of being an idle person, and living
without employment TO which he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to serve
a term of six months at the state farm.
Brown will not be allowed the privileges
of an ordinary rag at the state institu-
tion, hut will be kept In close confinement
until his case Is settled by the detectives.
If nothing can be found to hold him here
on serious charge, all of the principal
cities and towns will be notified and Chief
of Police Baker has no doubt that he is a
''good chap" TO have in custody.
This forenoon Detective Parker escorted
Brown to photograph gallery and in "A
day or two Browns photo" will adorn
the Rogues' gallery at the city hall.

SUES SISTER-IN-LAW.
Mulycy Claims Baianc. Of $591 Is Sill
Due Him.

A dispute over work done on house owned
by his sister-in.law, Hannah V. Mulvey, was
the cause of SUIT brought by Michael H.
Mulvey, the trial of which took up nearly all
of the time of Judge wilbur's court today.
The plaintiff claims that Mrs. Mulvey, the de-
fendant, agreed to pay him $500 for the plas-
tering and mason work on house she was
building in 1894. The payments, he says, that
Mrs. Mulvey made TO him amounted to s2U9,
and the suit is TO recover the balance of S59l
and interest. Mr.. Mulvey, on cross examina-
tion, said the mason work and plasterin
were to be done near alike as possible as
similar work was done on house owned by
the defendants sister. he also stated that he
had transferred his claim to Hugh v. o'Don-
nell The only demand made for the settle
ment of the claim, the plaintiff admitted, was
made, IL at all. by his former attorney, who
has since died
The defendant denies any demand was ever
made upon her for the balance due on the
contract, or that the work was done in ac-
cordance with the specifications furnished by
the architect.
Bassett a. Mitchell were attorneys for the
plaintiff and /. J. Mccarthy and W. II. Greene
attorneys for the defendant.

RECEIVER UPHELD.
Was Right in Making Assessment on
Policy Holders.

The Appellate Court in an opinion
written by Mr.. Justice Stiness on the in
structions asked for by receiver James
c. Collins, .Jr., of the Commercial
Mutual Fire Insurance Company holds
that the action Of the receiver is right in
regard to assessments The policy holders
are held 20 be liable TO an amount not
exceeding three times the premium, and
the plan of assessments reported by the
receiver Is approved The claims Of L.
n. Hirsch. j. G. Bradford and American
Straw Company the court thinks the re
ceivcr may recognize they having bcon
onco proved but never presented 20 him.
The receivers authority Is held broad
enough TO contest or compromise "A claim
against the company which he is satisfied
Is not first claim. As to losses that
have been occurred to parties insured since
tho appointment Of the receiver the court
thinks should not bc included In the
assessment and the receiver Is instructed
not To assess for such losses. The taxes
due the city of Providence are held 90 b,
payable without formal proof.

SET FREE.
Police Satisfied He Had Nothing to
Do With Wife's Death.
Autopsy DISCLOSED No Marks and Showed
Woman Was Burned 10 Death.

just how Honorah Hennessey died will
in all probability, remain mystery
The result of the autopsy held under the
direction of Medical Examiner Perkins at
the morQue Yesterday afternoon, revealed
the fact that the woman's death was
caused by burning. There were no marks
of violence on her body. When this con-
clusion was reached James Henncsscy her
husband, who was held on the strength
of what Nellie McCartin, a sister of the
dead woman, told the police, was set
free. The old man took his release in u
manner that showed he was deeply
affected by the tragedy. The police
officials from the first did not think he
was guilty, but deemed il best To hold
him in custody until the affair was in
yestigated
Captain Matthews says that IL expert
testimony is worth any thing, the persons
who claimed that they saw Mrs. Hennessey
upon the street as late as 3 o'clock Tues
day afternoon, must have been mistaken.
There are many things about the case
that are shrouded in mystery, and the
most important is as To how SO much fire
could be confined In small room, and
do SO little damage. The second question
Is, why did Mrs. Hennessey not make an
outcry when her clothing caught
fire, and again how did the fire ignite
her clothing. These are questions
X tndSI Sllll puzzle tDc poilsc uuu
detectives and not "A few of them advance
the theory of suicide, but few OF the
officers are satisfied that IL was an accident
pure and simple, but there is not the
slightest indication that any one but Mrs.
Hennessey IL to blame for tho sad occur
renee.
AS near as can be learned Mrs. Hennessey
was not a drinking woman and the fact
that quite large sum of money had been
placed i'm the Providence institution for
savings would naturally demonstrate this
fact All who know the family say she
did all of the buying for the house even
TO the tobacco used by her husband. That
she and her husband drank beer at home
occasionally is not disputed by Mr.. Hen
nessey, but there is not IA person 10 be found
that will say that they ever saw either
one of them under the influence Of liquor.
Neither did Mr.. or Mrs Hennessey quarrel
unless the statement of Nellie McCartin
he taken, and but little IL any reliance can
be placed on what she says, for she Is for
some cause unreasonably preJudiccd
against Mr.. Henncssey.
1t Is probable that the case is settled as
far as the police authorities are concerned.
At the conclusion of the autopsy, the
remains were turned over to Mr.. Hennessey
l.. Mccarthy to prepare them ready for
burial
Services will be held at the undertak-
ing rooms tomorrow at O'Clock and one
Of the pastors from 1T. Patrick's church
will ofiiciate, after which the remains will
be inferred at St Francis cemetery.
