Sudden Death Of William F.
Watson This Morning.
Found in a Semi. Conscious State
From Which He Did Not Recover
Poison Was Found In His Room and the
Medical Exaniser Is Considering the Case.

William F.lWatson of 81 South Union
street was found at an early hour this
morning in an unconscious condition in
his room. DR.. Bennett was summoned
and after finding that the man was dead
and his shirt covered with blood decided
that the case was one for the Medical Ex-
aminer and accordingly summoned DR..
French, who during his investigation
found bottle partly filed with poison,
which he removed for the purpose of
analization.
Watson did not fully recover conscious
ness and died without medical attendance.
On Monday the deceased was arrested by
Officer Mclaughlin for being intoxicated,
and In the District Court yesterday morn
ing paid fine of q and costs. The blood
on his shirt discovered by DIR. Bennett is
probably accounted for by the fact that
before his arrest Watson fell in front of
the Opera House and cut his face slightly.
When called upon by a TRIBUNE re-
porter this afternoon, the Medical Exam
iner said he had not fully considered the
question of the cause of death, but did not
think there was anything indicating
crime in it's connection, and would an
noqnce his decision tomorrow morning.
The general impression among those
familiar with the case Is, that the deceased
took an overdose of bromo or medicine of
that nature to recover from the effects of
liquor and his death resulted.

NO COMPENSATION.

Interesting Case Decided In the Appellate
Court This Morning.
A friendly suit which has attracted con-
siderable attention among the Catholic
clergy in this vicinity was decided in the
Appellate Court of Providence this morn
ing. The suit was brought by the Rhode
Island Orphan Asylum against Rev.
Fathers Matthias McCabe and Patrick
Farrelly, executors of the estate of the
Rev. Michael McCabe, v. g., deceased.
The suit arose from the retention of 2O6
shares of the stock of the United States
Rubber Company, which the deceased
claimed he was entitled to retain for COM
pensation for his services in connection
with the institution and his services in
the diocese.
The reverend father was appointed by
Archbishop Williams Of Boston and ac-
cording to the canonicals of the church 1t
Is claimed was entitled to compensation.
Bishop Harlsins, however, upon his ap-
pointment repudiated the claim granted
by Bishop Hendricken, and the case was
taken into court in order to settle the
matter.
After a review of the evidence the Court
decided in favor OF the Asylum.

NEW WTELEPHONEEXCHANG
THE BUILDING IN THIS CITY WILL
.ss SOON BE OPENED.
New Schedule of Rates and Medern Switch.
board Will Be introduced.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Providence Telephone Company will
be held next Wednesday at the office of the
company in the Butler Exchange building,
Providence. Directors for the ensuing
term will be elected, and among the other
business that will be considered is the
matter Of opening the new telephone ex-
change in this city.
The building is now ready for occu
pancy and has been SO for the past three
months, but it was deemed inadvisable to
move until Spring. The merits of many
switchboards have been Investigated by
the officials of the company and in all
probability one will be decided upon at
the coming meeting of the directors.
A new schedule of rates will go into
effect with telephone subscribers when the
new exchange Is opened. There will be
two rates-the old system and the measur-
ed rate system. The latter will only be ap-
piled to offices where the long distance
telephone is used. This rate is $50 year
for each 600 calls, and for each additional
call there will be charge of ten cents.
When the number is 700 calls the price
for the extra amount is nine cents and so
on with each additional hundred. Each
connection of five minutes or fractional
part will be considered as one call.
AS will be seen, the number of calls
allowed is less than two each day. This
system has been adopted in Boston and in
some other large cities. AS formerly there
will be an unlimited number of calls
allowed for the annual payment Of S120;
for residences the amount will be 800.
The ordinary system will still remain
the same. The price is $50 for business
purposes and as for residences. The
number Of calls Is not restricted.

IN PACKAGES
OF HUNDREDS
That Is the Way In Which
Votes Are Coming In
For Teachers.
Miss Minnie T.S. Carey's Friends
NObIy Rallied to Her
Support Yesterday.
Volume Of Coupons This Week Promises To
Break the Record-Miss Curran Leads
the Central Falls Section.

Miss Carey once more in the lead in the
Pawtucket contest.
Nearly 1000 votes were received yesterday
to be credited to the differentlteachers.
Miss Curran still continues to increase
her lead in the Central Falls section.
The pupils don't seem to be satisfied
with depositing one or two votes at time
for their favorite teacher. They work
quietly for few days and then send them
In in packages, some of the packages con-
tanning hundreds Of coupons.
A package Of 300 votes was received yes
terday for Miss Keough, besides what was
brought In by different pupils, which
places her in third position today.
Fourteen of Miss Carey's friends are re-
sponsible for her being in the lead today.
Remember no newcontestants names will
be received after Saturday, Feb. Sat 6
o'clock.
A few days ago one of the contestants
wrote to the Inaugural Editor to ascertain
II it would be possible to transfer votes
polled by other teachers, who had appar-
emily given up hope of carrying of first
honors.
Evidently the struggle has now settled
down to four or five teachers in Paw
tucket, and the same number in Central
Falls, and the others who have polled a
fair sized vote do not see much hope ahead
with the pupils and friends of the leaders
working SO zealously.
Under the rules of the contest, and with
fairness to all concerned, it will be impos-
sible to introduce this feature, especially at
this late day.
