A Mound Of . arth.
The bright little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Mcknight was buried this after
noon from his parents residence on Sum-
ner avenue. The remains rested in beau
tiful white casket, and it was surrounded
by loving tributes of floral designs from
his grief-stricken parents and their many
friends and acquaintance. Still, in death,
vet the marble countenance was as a mag
net to the eyes of his fond parents, and the
inal parting was piteous in the extreme.
The funeral cortege was followed to st.
Francis Cemetery by the friends and rela-
Iives of the parents, to whom sincere SYM
pathy is extended in their hour Of sorrow.
Homeless on the Street.
About Gas last evening Officer Hanrahan
found woman wandering around Dexter
street crying, and under the influence of
I quor. She was taken to the police sta
tion and locked up for safe keeping. This
woman's downfall should be an object les
son for all. Once she presided over
a happy home with all the comforts that
one could desire, but her love for strong
drink has brought her to her present con-
dition. 1t Is understood that she has no
visible means of support, and report says
that she has been sleeping around the diff
ferent sections of the city in out-houses
and barns.
Struck BY Express Train.
Central street crossing added another to
its long list of accidents last evening, ana
the fact that the victim is still alive is
considered miracle. Joshua K. Brinton,
paymaster at the Greene q Daniels mill,
was walking up Central street hill and
arrived at the crossing while the Lonsdale
accommodation which leaves there at S:22
for Providence was at a standstill at the
depot.
The crossing gates were down. Brinton
stopped and crawled under the gates, with
the intention of crossing the tracks and
had but partially crawled under the gate
when the Boston express, which leaves
Providence at $40, dashed through the
city at lightning speed. Young Brinton
was struck squarely on the frontal part Of
the head and knocked to one side.
The blow split his scalp on the frontal
line from the top of his head to the base Of
his nose. There were parallel and
diagonal cuts. The left side of his face
was badly scraped. He was picked up and
taken into the waiting room of the depot,
where DIR. George j. Howe administered
relief. He was then taken in the ambu-
lance to his home, 80 Greene street, Paw
tucket, and DIR. Remington was called in
consultation. A more thorough examina-
tion was made, but no bones were found
broken. It was thought that the skull had
been fractured, but at present there are no
signs of It, and late today the young man
was resting quite comfortably.
Brinton is the son of Loring w. Brinton,
who Is the bookkeeper for Weatherhead &
Thompson of Central Falls. He Is 10 years
old. When he attempted to 60 under the
gates he was hallowed to by Peter Four
nier, the crossing tender, who was stand
ing across the street. Brinton evidently
did not hear the caution, owing to the
noise of the trains.
Winter Convocation.
The winter convocation of the Episcopal
Convocation of Pawtucket, will be held at
st. Georges Church, on Central street, to-
morrow afternoon and evening. The busi-
ness meeting will be held in the parish
house at p. M, and several important
matters are to come up for consideration.
Supper will be served at 6 o'clock, and at Z
o'clock a missionary meeting will be
opened. The probable speakers are Rev.
Arthur Aucock of the All Saints Church,
Providence, and Rev. ii. w. Washburn of
St. Johns Church, Providence.
Grand Army Meeting.
According to all accounts the members
of Ballou Post heard few facts last even
ing which some of them may not like.
Old comrades are allowed to loaf around
the streets, and in some cases not a parti-
Gle of coal or wood in the house. One in
stance happened lately which looks very
peculiar. An old comrade of the Post was
hired in this manner by Supt. Dame, and
the French boss came along in the after
noon and discharged this same man. The
question arises, who is the boss of the
highways, Supt. Dame or the French boss?
Entertainment at Holy Trinity Church.
Next Sunday evening there will be an
entertainment given in the lower vestry Of
Holy Trinity Church, which deserves the
patronage Of every person in the parish, as
it is for the benefit of the Sunday school.
The entertainment will be given under the
auspices of the Christian Doctrine Society
Of that parish, and the committee of ar
rangements have secured some of the best
talent available. One of the principle
events of the evening will be mock trial,
and this feature promises to be very in
teresting.

ing fight for city officers will be hot one.
1t has been learned that ex-Alderman
Jollie of the Fifth Ward will make bid
for the Board of Public Works, and will
have the backing of the present Alderman
