SUIT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
INSTITUTED AGAINST DUNNELL
MANUFACTURING COMPANY.


Frederick A. Sutton, through his attor-
ney, j. Osfield, Jr., commenced case to-
day against the Dunnell Manufacturing
Company of this city, for $4,000 damages
for injuries received on the 18th of Aug,
In the engine room of company's print
works.
Mr.. Sutton was engineer for several
years and on the 18th of last August just
as he was about to leave the engine room
to go home for the day part of the floor
ing on which he was standing gave away
-on account of the rottenness of the tim
bers and he went down into large pool OF
scalding water, which had accumulated
under the floor through defective drainage
and was badly scalded and otherwise in
jured, 80 that he has not been able to do
any work since and 1t Is probable that 1t
will be great many months before he will
finally recover from his injuries.
The writ is returnable to the Common
Pleas Division of the Supreme Court on
February8.

DECLINED, WITH THANKS.

Proposal of Mr.. Metcalf to Editor of Nor
wich Index Not Entertained.
Hon. Henry B. Metcalf of this city and
the editor of the Norwich, Conn, Index
are at swords point on the temperance
question. Mr.. Metcalf wrote the editor of
the Index and informed the editor that II
he desired honest examination of the re-
suits of license and prohibition, respect
lively, the same to be conducted on the
basis of actual evidence, without any bluff
or bluster, he could be accommodated.
The Index replied as follows "The evil
dent desire of the Honorable Henry B. Is
to inveigle the Index into free advertising
scheme in the interests of the Prohibition
party, and we cannot possibly con-
slider such proposition. There Is moth
ing new to be learned, no end to be gained,
by long -winded discussions on this sub
ject. By their votes the people have
shelved the question for all time and out
side of few towns in Rhode Island and in
Maine the prohibition issue attracts not
even passing attention. We have seen
with our own eyes the workings of the
law in the East and West and South and
it is the universal opinion of the people Of
these sections that the prohibition Of the
sale of liquor Is the biggest farce In the
annals of unpopular legislation. The
few people who uphold 1t may be sincere
in their belief, but the opinion of the ma
jority is everywhere against them. But the
Honorable Henry b. Metcalf can have some
statistics II he really wants them"

New York, Jan. 15.-The Press this
morning says: Captain Philo McGiffin
lies in the post graduate hospital with
body shattered and mind unhinged by
wounds received in the greatest naval
battle of modern times. A retired Off
Ger of the United States navy, he took
command Of the Chinese ironclad Chen
Yuen in 1894, and fought her for five
hours in the Yalu river on Sept. IL of
that year against an overwhelming force
of japanese warships. The Chinese were
defeated and Captain McGiffin was
wounded badly in the head and thigh
by flying splinters of wood and iron.
He returned to America and wrote a
graphic account of the fight for the
Century magazine in 1895. About three
months ago he began to display eccen-
tricity, and imagining that he was tor
mented with worms crawling under his
skin he cut numerous gashes in his body.
Then DR.. Graeme Hammond took him
In hand, and when he is in a fit physical

the surgeons after the famous battle,

The fratricide occurred at Shaftesbury

ton got drunk and quarrelled over a
trivial matter.
As John died without having told the

quarrel John, who was boarding with
him, struck him twice In 'he face. and
threatened to kill him. Later he took
possession Of the house. and when Solo

The shooting. Solomon says, was In self

them, inclined to be reckless.

Beautiful "Zephra" Presented for the
Third Time Last Evening.
Another large and appreciative audience
witnessed the third production of
"Zephra" at the Opera House last evening,
when the performance passed off even
more gracefully than On the previous even
ings. Mrs. Broome, Miss Brennan, David
j. White and Philip Greedy, as in the pre-
vious performances, acted their parts per-
fectly, while the dancers went through the
figures more gracefully than ever.
The singing of Miss Brennan and Mr..
Greedy was particularly well received. Mr..
Greeley knows his profession from A to z,
he arranges all his compositions and ex-
cells in dainty bits of music as can be seen
by looking over his graceful lyric, "Under
Her Little Umbrella" his new Irish love
song, "Maggie McGlynn," which has just
been given to the public.
Mr.. Greeley Is now at work preparing
another song, 1.-THE Gates of Paradise" !"
which will shortly be finished. All of his
productions have been received with
marked favor in the musical world, and
his singing in the part of Juna, Prince of
Mythland, Is one OF the features Of
"Zephra."

Just at present, when the life of city Off
cials who are appointed from year to year
is one of anxiety and worriment, the ques-
tion is now frequently asked, "How about
the police"
Like some of the other city department
employees who are given their appoint
ment, some of the patrolmen have fears OF
the headman's axe.
Perhaps some of them have reason to
fear that they will have to sing the song
of the comedian in "The Tar and Tarter"
called ~ am in want Of situation"
On the whole, however, Pawtucket has a
force at present to be proud of. In the
main it Is made up of active, able-bodied
men, and in many respects it is superior
to the departments of other cities. :.
1t is rumored, however, that there will
be shake-up OF some proportion in the
department at an early date. At the con-

A PATROLMAN RESIGNS.
WILLIAM M'CUSkER LEA YES THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Action Was the Outcome Of Unofficial Charges
Against Probability Of Other Changes.

Officer William McCusker, who has been
on the police force for the past nine years,
handed In his resignation to Chief Rice
last evening and was relieved from duty,
and his name was not called at the evening
roll last night. Later In the evening he
left the city and his destination Is not
known.
Thus ends the much discussed topic re-
garding the conduct of the officer. 1t Is
reported that the trouble would have
never been public property had 1t not
been for the conduct of friend of Nc
Cusker's, In whom he had implicit conf
dence and who talked to parties regarding
II who were careless regarding their talk
of the matter.
AS far as can be learned the report that
the late officer had paid $250 or goo, to
avoid prosecution, cannot be traced to a
reliable source. DIR. j. A. Slattery says he
has never received cent, and he CT, tainly
ought to know.
So thus ends the career In Pawtuc'Set of
a man who was always liked by his iellow
officers and superiors and apparently per-
formed his duty In satisfactory Iranner.
The unfortunate affair will be RENE N bered
with regret by his former fellow members
on the force and his many friends In this
city.

THE TEACHERS Side OF IT
DICIPLINE OF CENTRAL AVENUE
SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED.


Since the meeting of the School Com
mittee the matter OF the petition sent 10
shat body by several residents of the View
regarding the action of Miss Mary T.
Fredenburg toward their children, has
been a much discussed topic in that Sec
tion, and 1t is but fair to state the question
from the teachers standpoint.
The teachers associated with Miss FIRE.
denburg say that the condition OF che
school has Improved under her direccion
and that she he's had many difficulties to
encounter.
Among the many matters the principal
had cause to worry over YVES the fact that
the cars of the Interstate and Pawtncket
Street Railways pass the school, and the
EMPLOYEES Of the roads have frequently ap-
pealed To the teachers of the school to keep
the pupils cut OF the street and thus avoid
the danger Of q shocking accident. For
the good OF the scholars, Miss Fredenburg
endeavored to enforce the rule reading as
follows: seThey (the teachers) shall exert a
careful supervision over their pupils while
n the school room or abuut the building
in order to prevent all Improper conduct
on the school premises; and they shall
also extend their supervision to pupils go
ing to and returning from school"
The small xaricty store conducted by
q Mrs. Lswlsss has recently been potent
factor In the trouble, and the loss OF trade
caused by the enforcement OF the rule has
caused the greater part OF the recent fric-
ton. The action taken by the principal
was taken under the direction of the mem
bers of the School Committee OF '96, and as
far as can be learned the teacher had no
discretion in the matter after reporting
the matter to her superiors and receiving
instructions.
OF late with the exception of a little ir-
ritation now and then, and what the petit
TONERS called the strained relations be-
tween the parents and the principal" +" mat
ters have been moving along smoothly in
the Central avenue school. The suspended
pupils, or nearly all Of them, returned to
school on their promise to obey the rule,
with a single exception, who was allowed
by the Superintendent to return to school
on condition that he might visit the store
when his mother told him so.
