ON SUSPICION.
Oie Claims To b. a Reporter From Chic
ago And The Olher Collier.

Officers Bates and McGroaty made two
arrests last night that caused some excite
ment in the northern part Of the city.
For the past few nights the police OF the
Second station have been looking for two
inen who were first heard OF on the dlvld-
ing line between the third district ana
their own. The stories were first that two
men answering the description OF the
heroes OF some hold ups that have recently
taken place had been seen hanging around
DIR. Clarence Il. Gard1lers home on Ben-
eflt street The next heard OF them was
that they were I'm almost the center OF the
district and not IA great ways from the
station. When the latter report came In u
quick and thorough search was made for
the strangers, but they disappeared as
quickly AS II the ground had opened and
offered them safe avenue OF escape
Last night shortly after o'clock clerk
i'm the office of Clarke's coffin manufac-
tory on Ashburton street, who was work
ing overtime, saw two men go under the
window near which he was working and
pass into tho yard. He became bit
scared and locking up the Office went TO
tho Second station.
After he had told his story Officers Bates
and McGroaty who have been doing
special work lately were sent out to bring
the men I'm as suspicious characters. They
manufactory and there they heard two
men moving about. The men saw the
officers and they climbed over "a fence onto
the railroad. The officers followed and
after brisk chase captured the fellows
and took them 20 the station.
The men arrested tailed with the de
scription OF the men seen on Benefit street
and also on Charles street They were
very dissinilar i'm appearance and gave
the names of T. Jones and Nj. Monovitch.
One claimed TO be "a newspaper reporter
and the other said he was collier. Both
hailed from Chicago and said they HAD
been in this city only "a couple of days
Monovitch claimed no could talk but
little English, though Lieutenant Murray
had little trouble I'm understanding his
dialect. He might be easily taken for O
Swede, and this fact led to the idea thai
ho might have been I'm this city a Longer
time than he acknowledged He Is 9
Hungarian and claimed he went TO Bos
ton from Chicago and had failed in
several efforts to get work.
Jones had pocketful of papers, card.
from many Chicago hotels and Chicago
paper telling how il was to spend night
with police sergeant In the windy city,
that is outside OF the station. He wor,
"A soft hat of gray color and dark clothes
The other fellow wore "a brown coat and
vest and dark trousers. Jones Is about
six feet tall and his companion wa.
shorter but apparently "a very stronl
fellow.
Both men were held Mt the station al
night and this morning were sent to TIN
city hall Jones claimed he had tried In
several places in this and other New
England cities TO get work.

EAST PROVIDENCE.
George Gardiner Will Fight the Case
Brought Against Him.
Entertainment Under Auspices of
Bucklin Post--Othsr Matters.

This morning in the Seventh District
Court, George Gardiner was arraigned on
a charge of negsccting TO send his boy 60
school. He pleaded not guilty and tho
case was continued to March 26. This Is
peculiar case. The boy who attended
school in one of tho rooms of the A. Il.
Hoyt school, had some difficulty with his
teacher in relation TO exercise during re-
cess. The teacher requested him To apollo
gize before tho school, which the boy re-
fused TO do, and the teacher sent the boy
home and would not allow him 20 enter
again until he had complied with her re-
quest. AS the boy did not go TO school,
the trlant officer served a writ on tho
father for not compelling him TO attend,
The father proposes Co test the case and
find out whether a teacher has the right
to expel a scholar for any such reason and
then put the parents to expense and trou-
bic because the child does not attend. 1t
appears to be a case that should be set
tied by the school superintendent rather
than by the courts.
Last evening an entertainment was
given in Grand Army hall under the aus
pices of Bucklin Relief Corps, No. 9. The
program was as follows: Cornet solo,

The paper of abdication signed by the ex-
Queen was drafted by General Alfred ;.
HArtwell of Honolulu, who Is now in
Washington on pleasure trip General
Hartwell when asked for statement con-
cerning the ex-quecn's abdicatlon, dictated
the foliowihg: drafted the ex Queen
abdication and jurat of allegiance 10 the

II drew the document which Ncuman,
Parker and Wilson examined and ap-
proved verbatim Wilson took it to Lii

changes which were made, and second
draft was drawn which Wilson submitted
10 her. At her request another inconsid-
cradle change was made and third draft
was prepared, which was submitted TO
her and returned to mo by Mr.. Wilson,
who informed me that II was exactly as

Dangerous Use of
Strong Purgatives.

Most pills, purgatives and Bit
ter Waters, which act quickly
upon the bowels, irritate and often
destroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed their
cathartic action is directly caused
by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action
should be soothing and stimula-
ting instead of irritating. A con-
tinued use of such remedies pro-
duces chronic Inflammation Of
the stomach and bowels. This
often ends in dangerous disease.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, is highly
recommended as an aperient, lax
ative and diuretic, because its ac-
ton is due solely to its solvent
and stimulating properties. Ii
soothes and allays Inflammation.
and is therefore much preferable
to all strong purgatives and Bitter
Waters.

del Salt mailed free. Eisner K

NO TRUTH IN IT.
Story That Ascending Teller Ben
nett Had Been Located.
Nothing Known BY Police or Bank
OGicials of Fugitivc's Whereabouts.

Chief Baker and Detective Parker, both
say that there Is absolutely nothing In the
report that Bennett, the man who robbed
the Globe National bank several years
ago, was seen at the Carson City prize
fight, has been arrested and Will be
brought here
Mr. Parker who knows something
about Bennett's tastes says that he is not IA
man who would be attracted to "A prize
fight and further than that there were no
Providence people at Carson who could
have identified him as the man who COM
mitted the robbery
The Globe bank officials have heard
nothing of the alleged arrest and the
statement to that effect in Boston paper
is an illustration of the so-called yellow
journalism which unfortunately Is not
confined TO New York.
