CRANSTON.
Two H larious Picnickers Take an Invol-
untary Bath.

A ricnic held near Molter's brewery yester.
day almost resulted IN a sad accident, the
drowning of two men. The picnic progressed
during the afternoon amid singing, dancing
and drinking. Many INDUCED freely in the
latter snort and lost control OF their muscles.
Tie two men mentione1 were among this
class. They started TO cross Spectacle pond
in a small row boat. The boat had nearly
reached the shore opposite to that from which
trey had started when one OF the men in n
iubiant At made jump for the land. He
jumped. however, into three feet OF water
and with great difficulty extrcated himself. As
this man jumped from the boat he pushed tho
little craft farther from the shore. The com
panion in the boat stood up and began 10
laugh at the prsdicament OF his partner, whom
by ths rocking OF the boat, he was thrown
overheard. The water was deep and the man
sank from view. In n short time he arose,
and, sobered by his ducking, he succeeded In
grabbing hold OF tho boat. He tugged and
pushed and kicked for n long time and sue
cec1ed in reaching shore. apparently more
dead than alive. The picniclxers were much
frightened ut the sight OF the accident. II
seemed TO put damper upon the pleasure
and caused an early adjournment.

Marriage at ST. James Church Some
Gossip From the villages.

Officer Riley, the newly appointed War
wick liquor complainant. made a trip
through the valley yesterday and kept the
saloonkeepers who were In the habit Of
keeping open seven days in the week In
a state of disquiet all day. At one place
the loafers around the barn In the rear
OF the saloon saw him first and COM
menced TO sing, "Is This Mr.. Riley?'

faction TO the patrons of the road.
The schedule OF the electric cars has been
changed and they are now run so as to
connect with all OF tie trains at the
Clyde depot The change i'm the running
time OF the trains has also made some
difference to the arrival and departure of
the mails in the valley post offices along
the line OF the Pawtuxct VALLEY Railroad,
the mails rs a general thing being received
later and leaving later than heretofore.
The Sunday train is not giving as good
satisfaction as that OF last year as only
one train is run over the road instead OF
two making IL impossible for residents OF
Providence to spend Sunday in the valley.
Some Of the trainmen are as vet not
acquainted with the road and it will
probably be- several days before the valley
ties become accustomed to the new
schedule.
