WILLIAM H. SIMMONS DEAD.

Was Formerly Engaged In the Merchant
Tailoring Business.
William H. Simmons, for many years q
merchant tailor in Pawtucket, died at his
residence in this city yesterday afternoon
of diseases incident to old age. Mr.. Sim
mons was born In Newport, X. l., in 1922,
and consequently was In his 10Th year.
His early education was obtained In the
schools of his native city; removing later
to Washington village, he worked some
time at the tailoring business. Eventually
he removed to Providence, and finally
took up q permanent residence in this
neighborhood.
In 1851 he established himself in busi-
ness in Pawtucket, and continued in 1t at
different locations until 1880, when failing
health compelled him to seek rest.
About the year 1866 he built his late resi-
dence on Broad street, and lived there
until death overlook him. Deceased was
a man of many sterling traits of character,
and during his long business career came
in contact with many of the leading citi-
zens Of this vicinity, and it can be said
that he held the respect of all. Mr.. Sim
mons was a devoted church member, and
was lifelong member of the Congrega-
tional church, holding at the time OF his
death the position of Senior Deacon.
Deceased leaves two unmarried daught-
ers, who reside at home. The funeral ar
rangements will be announced later.

Deafness and Seasickness.

A medical scientist having observed that
deaf mutes never suffer from seasckness
"a fact which is perfectly well understood
by those who have had charge of these un.
fortunates-the inquiry was naturally sug-
gested to his mind, why this immunity
from this distressing maladyp After varied
and exhaustive experiments 1t was decided
that the absence of sensibility In the audi
tory nerve was the occasion of the entire
freedom Of deaf mutes from seasiokness
He says: "In deaf mutes there Is absolute
deafness, or very great reduction In hear
ing, dependent upon the destruction or
serious impairment of the function of the
peripheral distribution or sound perceptive
elements of the auditory nerve, in whioh
process the semioircular canals are includ-
ed. Both physiological experiment and
pathological observation point to that part
of the inner ear knowA as the semicircular
canals as exercising controlling influence
over the maintenance of the erect posture
and the sense of equilibrium. AS those
functions are frequently disturbed on ship
board by the rapidly changing motion of
the ship, 1t seems probable that this has
much to do with seasickness, II 1t Is not
the sole cause of 1t. A remedy which has
been effective In number of cases Is an
an@sthetic applied to the inner ear by
dropping A preparation of cocaine Is
suggested.

CREMATED THE BODY.

The Remains Of Ephriam Mute OF Lanes.
vile Taken to Forest Hills, Mass.
Undertaken Thomas Crane of this city
has the distinction of having the
first body in this vicinity cremated
He was summoned yesterday after
noon to 90 to the Rhode Island Hos
pital after the remains OF Ephraim Mute OF
Lanesville, who died at that institution
early in the day. The body was brought
to Undertaken Cranes warerooms and pre-
pared for cremation, the remains being
placed in an elegant couch casket. The
deceased was in his I'D year, and lived
with his daughter, Mrs. Fred Davis In
Lanesville, since his arrival from New
Hampshire.
Some little time ago Mr.. Mute was work
ing about his home, and In some way one
of his limbs came in contact with an old
iron hoop, cutting into the flesh quite deep
No particular attention was paid to the
matter at that time, but later the limb be-
gan to swell, and caused him intense pain
He was taken to the II. 1. Hospital for
treatment. Gangrene had set in, and the
old gentleman being SO feeble, the shock
of having the limb amputated would be
too much for him. In view of this fact an
effort was made to save his life without re-
sorting to this method. II was useless
however, as he died yesterday forenoon al
the hospital.
The deceased had visited the cremation
plant at Forest Hills many times and was
fully impressed that that was the proper
way to dispose Of human bodies. Before
diving he requested that his body be taken
to Forest Hills and cremated. In accord
ance with his expressed wish his daughter
Mrs. Davis, consented and Undertaken

Special Meeting Last Evening
of Both Branches Of the
City Government.
Recommendations of the Com.
mittee on Finance Sent to
Both Bodies.
PASSED IN NCONCURRENCEASR READ
The Total Amount Is About $1,000 Less Than
the Amount Asked For By the Different
Departments Notes.

Both branches of the City Council met
in special meeting last evening, to take ac-
tion upon the recommendations of the
committee on finance for the appropria-
tions for the ensuing year. The total
amount asked for by the chairmen OF the
different committees was s161, ,707.4S, and
the total amount of the estimates as pre-
pared by the committee on finance and
passed by both branches Of the City Coun-
Gil was s15O72S. 1t will be seen that the
full amount of the sums asked for was al
lowed less s10,s79.48. The principal de-
partments to suffe by the reduction In the
estimates were the school department,
5000; the fire department, 5000; the high
way department, maintenance and care,
5000; contingencies, $1,000.
President Fish of the Common Council
caused ripple Of excitement by asking
Mr.. Washburn, Of the Committee on
Printing, IL the report Of the police de-
partment was incorporated with the re-
ports OF the other city departments, and
he answered in the affirmative. This was
evidently a mistake on the part OF the
Councilman, as a careful search of the
book from cover to cover fails to find 1t.
After the meeting of the Council, Mr..
Washburn admitted to the TRIBUNE re-
porter that he had misunderstood the
question. He assured the reporter, how
ever, that the mistake would be remedied
Immediately, and the full report would be
given in the same book. Mr.. Washburn
further said that the report of the police
department had never reached the Coun-
Gil; il this is so who has been doing the
juggling act with it?

Change In Weather Calls a
Halt In Ice Cutting.
Crop Was In Fairly Good Condition
and of Admirable Quality.
Match Game Of Whist To Night-Items Of
Interest To All.

The thaw and rain which struck in
yesterday morning was a sad disappoint-
ment to the ice dealers in this vicinity,
and golden opportunity has been lost to
harvest a really good crop of ice. Con-
siderable ice was cut on Sayles' pond
before the thaw commenced, but not
enough to supply the demand Of the con-
sumers.
Jollie Brothers and the Moshassuck Ice
Company will be the heaviest losers as
their houses are large and they require q
great many tons of ice to supply their
customers. Scott's pond, the place from
which these companies derive their supply,
had a fairly good depth of ice, and of a
very good quality, but the storm has
spoiled it for the present.
Spaulding Brothers get their supply
from a pond which they food for the
specific purpose deriving clean and pure
quality of ice. Operations at this
place have been stopped for the
same reasons that have deferred the other
companies from haversting the crop. This
storm may have tendency to make Ice q
great deal dearer this coming warm season
as 1t is doubtful IL there being another
cold snap sufficiently long to make the ice
the desired thickness.
Foresters Elected.
An adjourned meeting of the Presby-
terian Church Society and congregation
was held Tuesday evening in the church.

REGRETS HIS HOSPITALITY.
Cornelius b. williams Decamps With {
Friends Goods.

Cornelius b. williams Decamps with a
Friends Goods.
Bradford Carpenter of Central street, is
mourning the fact that his generosity or
good nature got the better of his judg-
ment. Last evening Mr.. Carpenter was
accosted by one Cornelius B. Williams, a
noted character from Cranston, and was
implored to allow him to share part of his
sleeping room with him. Mr.. Carpenter
is unmarried and rooms in the block over
Overseer of the Poor Pendergrass' shoe
store. He was well acquainted with Will
liams, and knew his previous character,
but, after listening to Williams tale of
woe relented and decided to give him part
of his bed for the night.
This was about $50 o'clock, and having
business down town for a short time he
locked Williams in and told him to go to
bed and have good sleep. Mr.. Carpenter
finished his errand, and upon his arrival
at the room an hour later found his Sleep
ing room door opened, and his exhausted
friend gone. Williams did not go empty
handed as several articles of value belong
ing to Mr.. Carpenter disappeared with
him. Among the articles missing are a
solid gold chain, gold watch, new pair of
shoes, a hat, solid gold sleeve buttons, and
$5 in money, the whole amounting to
about $3.50.
The police were notified at once of the
facts of the case, and immediate steps were
taken to apprehend the thief. An inves-
tigation Of the room later revealed the fact
that Williams found an old screw driver
and forced the lock of the door, present.
ing an easy escape with the booty. Ser
geant Louks went to Providence early last
evening and placed the officers of that city
on the lookout. Williams is SO well known
to the officers of this vicinity that his cap
ture is only a question of time.
