DISPUTE OVER BICYCLE.

OfiIcer Mclaughlin Takes Both Parties To
the Police Station.
Late yesterday afternoon Officer Nc
Laughlin was called into Walkers bicycle
store on Summit street to settle dispute
between the proprietor and prospective
customer.
1t appears that about three weeks ago a
man named Savage called at the store and
engaged to buy q Kennison wheel, but as
there were none in the shop the proprietor
said he would get him one and let him use
q second hand machine while the new
wheel was on It's way here, Savage paying
f15 down.
Yesterday the latter called at the store
to have his tire pumped up and Walker
told him he could not get him Kennison,
but would get him one Of another make
This did not suit Savage, who said he
would have q Kennison or none at all.
A dispute arose. Savage tried to get out
Of the store with the second hand wheel,
but Walker caught II and called out for
someone to get him his revolver.
At this stage Officer Mclaughlin ap-
peared on the scene and took both parties
to the police station. Matters were ex-
planned there and Savage left with the
bicycle and the proprietor kept the money.

Two Pawtucket Young Men
Are Heard From In

ONE DAY MADE 1903 MILES.
They will Remain Some Time on the Pacific

ONE DAY MADE 1903 MILES.

Walter j. BurcheII, aged ~, and Thomas
Massey, aged IS, the transcontinental
cyclists, have at last reached their destina-
tion, San Francisco, after just three
months hard riding.
They left Pawtucket May 15 and reached
San Francisco August IA. One had never
been west of New York and the other had
never been out of Rhode Island.
Residents of this city will be pleased to
hear of their safe arrival together, as
stories had been circulated In this city
that Massey had left Burchell In the Rocky
Mountain district.
Their fastest time was 103 miles In one
day, in New York State, and is very fast
time considering that Burchell has but ONE
arm. They carried but 40 pounds OF bag
gage on their trip.
They will remain In the west for some
time hunting for gold in California's hills.

MUST STAND AND EXPLAIN.


Pawtucket People Crossing the New Red
Bridge Down River.
For some time past since the new Red
Bridge was completed there has been con-
siderable discussion regarding the assess
ments of the costs upon the cities and
towns interested and the question Ii by
no means settled, but is constantly grow
ing fumagnitude.
When the matter was first brought up 1t
was said that the State would appropriate
go 1000 towards the cost of the structure,
but the sum was increased to $4,000. The
balance was to be paid by the cities and
towns benefited.
The city of Pawtucket does not think it
ought to be assessed more than very small
amount and a number Of towns along the
east side of the river cannot see how they
are benefited to any extent.
The commissioners are going to make
an effort to determine who uses the bridge
most, and for one week record Is to be
kept of the people who pass over 1t. This
idea was put into effect yesterday and un-
til next Sunday all persons passing over
the structure, whether on foot or in
vehicles, will be required to inform the
person in charge from whence they come.
1t is thought that the commissioners
should be able to fix the assessment
equitably by census thus obtained, but 1t
vet remains to be seen whether this
scheme will be satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

made three attempts last night to end his
earthly career, but thanks to the prompt
action of his relatives and the officers at
the police station, he is still alive, and
with the exception OF q cut on his throat,

McQuade had been strictly temperate
for about q year and half until three
weeks ago when he began drinking and
has been drinking since, with the result
that the liquor finally effected his brain.
uShortly before O'Clock last evening he
started to shave himself and after finish
ing he drew the razor across his throat,
cutting quite q severe cash. One OF his
sisters, who was in the house, ran ost and
notified Officer Black.
A call was sent in for the wagon and
Officers w. e. Hill and c. r. Reynolds
took McQuade to the station.
After being put in cell he removed his
suspenders, and, making . moose on one
end, he slipped 1t over his head and
fastened the other end to the cross bar Of
the iron door.
Just as he was about to swing Oh the
bench upon which he stood Capt. vsnanda
discovered him and cut him down.
A short time later McQuade removed the
strings from his shoes and again fastened
them about his neck and was about to
fasten them to the door, when he was dis
covered by Officer Hudson who took the
strings away. -r-e,>st = -
After this third attempt Capt. vanands
handcuffed the prisoner in his cell, and he
soon concluded he would like to have his
hands free, and agreed to make no more
attempts at suicide II they would take the
handouts of.
The officer on duty kept close watch on
the mans actions during the remainder OF
the night, but he made no further attempts
to end his life.
He was allowed to go this morning al
he promised to take the pledge to abstain
from intoxicating liquors, and his sister
promised to see that he did.

Waylaid in jerks Park.
Daniel Sugrue and Others Are
Said to Be the Parties.
Collins Refused to Give Them Any Money and
Was Knocked Down.

A daring "hoId-up," or what purported
Jenks' Park, Central Falls, the final scene
OF the exciting drama being enacted at the
corner OF Broad and Summit streets, and
ending disastrously to the would-be high
wayman.
The story is somewhat mixed up, but
from what can be learned John Collins,
who Is employed in Providence, was the
victim, aid Daniel Sugrue is said to be the
assailant.
Collins, who lives on Hedley avenue,
was on his way home about IL o'clock, and
as he was passing through the park he
was accosted by Sugrue, who demanded
five cents.
Collins refused CT said that he did not
have any money, whereupon, so Collins
alleges, Sugrue felled him to the ground.
Collins Immediately sprang to his feet and
ran out of the park aud down Broad street
toward Pawtucket, with Sugrue In full
pursuit.
At the corner of Broad aud Summit
streets Collins was overhauled and then
ensued a fight for his life and money.
Collins called for assistance, and his wild
appeal brought the fremen in the Broad
street station tumbling from their beds.
William Lull, foreman OF the station,
said, "When l reached the window the
little fellow, (meaning Collins), had mus
tered up courage and was giving the big
fellow, Sugrue, q downright good
thrashing, consequently we did not in
terfere."
Collins, after..reminding Sugrue that he
could strike few telling blows, ran to the
rear of John McGrath's house, next to the
engine house and woke Mr.. McGrath up
at the same time begging for permission
to enter the house AZ he was being pursued
by a gang who wanted his money. Mr.
McGrath and his SON came out and
| quieted Collins who by this time was bor'
| dering pp0n n state of. frenzy, .ss.,s.
After while Collins became quieted and
Mr.. McGrath showed him how to reacl
his home In safety. Collins told Mr.. Nc
Grath that he had so In his pockets ant
he supposed the gang intended to rob him
as he knew of no cause for the attack.
Foreman Lull stated to the reporter
| that special officer Sherman was specta
tor Of the affair, but made no movemen
