Ere ght Train.

An unknown man was Instantly killed
last night about q o'clock near Foundry
street, Central Falls, by the Worcester
express leaving Providence at 5:45. The
engineer alone saw the accident and lie
did not report IL to the local officials.
1t seems TO be the Old story of NAH
walking on the tracks and two trains
coming in opposite directions. 1t appears
that he was walking home from some
factory along the line, on the tracks. The
Worcester express was coming from the
south, and "A freight from the North. The
man probably became confused, and in
trying TO avoid the freight train, stepped
in front of the express. The engineer of
the express gave warning whistle brit
almost INN ediately the engine strud k
him. Ihe pilot picked him up and carrie "a
him along until the train was stopped.
The body was placed on stretcher ana
carried To the gate house at Foundry
street. Medical Examiner Frepch viewed
the body and gave 10 over TO Undertaken
Burns. The man was Instantly killer.
4 lerc was n compound fracture of ii g
skull over the left ear, making n large
hole. There was n cut on the abdomen,
one leg " as broken and the face was cut
In his pockets were 30 certs and two
knives. He was feot y inches high ana
weighed about 140 pounds. He was about
80 years old. of light complexion. light
moustache and black hair. The clothing
| which was OF good material, was dark
blue. The body was seen by many people
but not recognized. Some knew him by

Action Taken in the U. S.
Circuit Court
WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION
Brought From Canada In the Sloop
Yacht TOmahawk.
HOW TIE SEIZURE WAS MADE.

At 1 o'clock this afternoon United
son appeared before Judge Brown in the
United states circuit court and made "A
motion that the phenacetine and other
drugs seized by the government officers
on information furnished py Gilbert NJ.
King be forfeited, and decree of for
feturs was entered on the testimony
presented.
Special United States Treasury Agent
Hsntz testified as TO the nnding OF the
drugs in this city, Pawtuoket and Woon-
socket, aid deputy collector swore as to
the seizure of the merchandise On this
testimony the goods were declared tor
telted. They Will DO ADVERTISED for sale
by United States Marshal James :. Mic
Cabs and be disposed of at public auc-
tion before December IS.
|. These are tho drugs the seizure of which
occasloned such stir early last October,
ana brought TO public notice the fact
that q member of one OF the oldest ana
best known families in the city had a
hand in alleged smuggling of contra
band goods into this country from Can
ada. The bulk of the drugs consisted of
phenacetine and the whole was valued at
about $1,000.
@ho oSAHhipO thu tOOds Du
by Mr.. King led to rather startling
revelations. 1t recalled the loss of the
yacht Tomahawk of Highland Light
Cape Cod. and led to an imputation that
the yacht had been scuttled after IL had
been employed In the smuggling business.
Tho facts in the case warranted the
belief that the Tomabawk had brought
the drugs from Canada 10 Portland. Me-,
from which point they were transferred
TO this city and placed in the King man
sion on College street. The difficulty of
disposing of the drugs led To the scheme
to distI ibute them In the places named In
the hope that they could be gotten rid Of
without attracting enough attention to
call down upon tho offenders the wrath
of Uncle sam.
Gilbert NJ. King evidently was OF the
opinion that surrender of the goods
would be n judicious action and for the
information furnished there was com
promise and all hands engaged escaped
arrest. The government will make "a
profit on the seizure OF the amount the
drugs Will bring at fore sale and lie
whole incident, except the puzzle auctiou
OF the drugs is as good as closed.

SPECIAL ELECTION.
That in Second Ward For Council
man is Very Quiet.
Numb r of Votes Cast s, Far In III. Two
Districts $50.

A special election for fourth council
man is in progress in the Second ward
today. Augustus Jones il the Republi-
can and Daniel L. Kelleher the Demo
cratic candidate. This second trial was
made necessary because the official count
of the ballots cast at the election on No
vcmber ? showed that Mr.. Jones and his
Democratic opponent were tied, each
having received exactly the same mum ber
of votes
Indications today point very strongly
to light vote. Whether the suit Just
brought against Kelleber Will have any
effect on the number Of votes cast for
him has not yet been seen. There were
those yesterday who are closely ultimate
with nifairs in the Second ward, who
said that kelleher's goose was cooked and
he would stand no show today, tut there
We're others equally confident that he
would be elected.
The ward rooms were eXceedingly quiet
and up TO l o'clock but 100 votes had
been cast in the First district ward 10 I'm
on Meeting street and log at the Second
district polls On North Main street.
ihe clerks and supervisors are hoping
this election will also result in n tie
They consider this sort of an election a
genuine political snap" 1t would
seem so too when on the average thers is
space OF about four minutes between
every voter. Or course there is often
more than this for number will some
times come In at once, occasionally even
as many as five.
The election officers had an opportunity
to become familiar with current litera-
ture during the day. and it is not every
day they can draw salary for reading the
magazines No wonder they hope for
another tie

The L. A. TiIlinghaSt Co.
Forced to That Course,
In NEED OF READY CASH.
Liabilities Placed at 100000; Good
Assets 100000.
ACTION CAUSED NO SURPRISE.

Something that has boon expected In
business and financial circles for some
time happened yesterday evening. The
l. A. Tillingnast company made an as
signment for the benefit of its creditors.
This occnsioned no surprise because IL
has been known for months that the COM
pany was on the edge of failure. Ready
cash to carry on extensive enterprises
could not be procured and the where
withal TO meet matured notes preoipitated
the inevitable. Mr.. Tillinghast has made
no personal assignment yet and the pres
ent difficulty only involves the l.. A..
Tillinghast company which consists OF
President 1illinghast Treasurer Pre-
served w. Arnold. Henry u. Root nj.
Dewing and A. W. Winsor The directors
of the company assert that the assign
meut was due To the extensive outside
operations of the president OF the corpor-
alton and that the catering and restaur-
ant business OF the company was pros
porous Had business been confined TO
this alone the company would be one OF
the most fortunate I'm the city. Well
enough was not good enough and big
real estate enterprises, requiring large
amount of capital TO sustain them. had
wrought disaster.
When these extensive real estate schemes
were begun they were the wonder Of the
town because OF their magnitude. The
general public looked upon them as indi-
eating the association OF wealthy .nen In
a big project TO get control of valuable
property in this fast developing city,
purely as safe business Investment.
This Illusion, however, was dispelled
with the first breath OF suspicion created
by rumors OF pinched conditions. Then
there was q stamrede of confidence and
the operations of the company were re-
garded as only speculation pure and sim
pie.
The assignment was recorded NJ the
city hall late yesterday afternoon and the
assignee is Preserved w. Arnold. treas
urer OF the company, who resides at
North Providence. It was brought abGut

ant and contents by Comstock ~ Son OF
