In the Case Of Margaret 4.
Leach Against DR.. Lane.
The Suit is Brought to Recover
Damages From the Defendant.


The case OF Margaret A. Leach against
DR.. Edward M. Lane of this city 10 at
tracing considerable attention In medical
circles. In the Common Pleas Court,
Providence, this morning decree was en-
tered granting authority for the use of the
X rays to determine whether the arm lis
properly set.
The case Is brought by the plaintiff to
secure damages from the defendant, as 1t
is claimed that the arm was improperly
set. J. Osfield, Jr., who appeared for DIR.
Lane, objected to the use of the rays ON
the ground that the proper testimony to
offer In the case would be that of compe--
tent surgeon.
The court took the ground that the x
rays in this case was to all intents and
purposes the same as the use Of spectacles
or magnifying glasses to discover some
thing not visible without their use, and
therefore ordered that the plaintiffs arm
be examined by the use of the X ray, which
will be done, and the result reported 10 the
court.

EFFORTS TO ORGANIZE.
SENATOR'S STRIVING TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT ON COMMITTEES.
Thev Are Many Delicate Points to Be Settled
Before Things Are Satisfactory.

Washington, April 10.-The committees
representing, respectively, the Republi-
can and Democratic sides of the senate,
resumed their efforts yesterday to reach
an agreement on bisis of reorganizins
the senate committees. The Republi-
cans have gone to work with the serious
intention of taking charge OF the COM
mittees, but they find that in assuming
this task there are many delicate points
to he settled.
In accepting the Democratic PROPOSE
ton to take most of the silver Republi-
cans and Populists they find that they
are compelled to assign places to old
senators in those two parties which are
much sought after by straight Republi-
cans who have not been so long in the
senate. but feel that they deserve to be
rewarded for party service. The dis
position would be to favor the straight
party men at the expense of others, but
for the fear that this course would have
an injurious effect upon the fortunes OF
the tariff BILL The tariff is indeed CIV
ing the managing committee and all the
Republican senators more concern than
any other factor in the situation. 1t is
doubtful whether they would attempt
to proceed but for this bill. They fear,
however, that If they do not take the
work in hand the bill might be seriously
delayed some Of the Democrats having
practically warned them that they would
object to any further legislation of any
character unless the committees should
be filed. There also Is a feeling on the
Republican side that any allotment
which might appear to discriminate in
vidiously against the Populists and sill
yer Republicans would imperil the tariff
bill by precipitating an unseemly
wrangle on the eve OF it's presentation
TO the senate. The committee will do its
best to overcome the difficulties thus pre-
scented, but the work of making the ad
justment is likely to consume more time
than was expected.

Ordinance Regarding Awnings.

The Mayor has called the attention of

awning shall be placed or confined over
any sidewalk unless said awning shall be
constructed Of cloth or canvas and sup

same and of the supports thereof shall be
at least eight feet above the sidewalk; /;
provided, however, that wooden awnings
may be constructed and maintained, all
parts whereof shall be at least eight feet
above the sidewalk, in case they are con-
structed by permission Of the Board Of
Aldermen and are maintained in man.

Increase to Five Per Cent.
to Be Made in Providence
The City Council Committee Will
Recommend the Advance.
II Is Not Likely That the Matter Will Be
Submitted to Arbitration.

The special committee of tho Providence
city government appointed to look into
the taxation on the Union Railroad Com
pany and to fix the rate for ensuing five
years came to a decision yesterday after
noon and recommended an increase from
3 to 8 per cent.
United States Senator Aldrich, the Presi-
dent of the local road and the representa-
tive here of the big street railway syndi-
cate, contended I'm recent addresses to the
committee that per cent. was out of the
question, in view of the large outlay
which has been made in equipping the
road and which it must continue in ex-
tensions for the accommodations of people
In the suburbs.
The fact that the committee has decided
to levy tax Of 8 per cent, with the CO.
operation Of the City Council, does not
mean that the company will be compelled
to pay that amount. The legislative act
provides that in case of disagreement in
regard to the amount of tax, the question
shall be submitted to three arbitrators to
determine what is q fair amount which
the railroad ought to pay for the use Of
streets.
1t is more than probable that the ques-
tion will be referred to the arbitrators, as
provided under the provisions of the act,
in which case the city and the railroad
company name one each and the two thus
appointed name the third. Up to Dec.
80, 1896, the city has received from the
Union Railroad and Cable Tramway Com
panies S110,357, under the special 3 per
cent. tax, the first payment being made in
June, 1892.

Wool and Supar Coming In.

Boston. April 10.-The receipts of
foreign wool at this port this week were
40 600 bales, a record-breaking number.
This is due to the purchase of 81, 900 bales
at London by representatives OF Boston
merchants, which will be shipped as
speedily as possible. The handling OF
this wool interferes with the handling
Of other merchandise at the various
wharves, and importers find it hard to
secure storage room. The largest preW.
Gus receipts Of wool In one week were
10000 bales. The sugar importers have
received $4,000 bags this week, with sew
eral large cargoes expected to arrive here
