The License hoard.
The Board of License Commissioners met
last evening and In short time transacted
considerable business. The Board was
called promptly tc order by President Sloan
and all the members were present. Upon
motion OF Mr.. Authier the application for
transfer OF the license OF Elzor Fournier
TO Normidas Forbert was granted.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Authier the applica-
tIon for transfer OF the license OF Patrick
Conley TO Patrick j. McArdle was granted.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Gooding the appIica-
tion OF James l.. Clancy for license at the
corner OF Pine and Cross streets was taken
from the table and granted.
Upon motion of Mr.. Gooding the appli-
cation OF Henry Mellor was taken from
the table. Mr.. dooding said that he un-
derstood that there was no cellar to the
building, and President Sloane asked Mr..
Mellor II he intended to enlarge the build
ing. Mr.. Mellor replied that there was a
good cellar and that IL was his intention
to add eight feet to the size OF the room.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Gooding the appli-
cation was received and ordered advertised.
1t Is understood that the Board has been
given a hint to grant the license and they
are taking this method to back down In a
graceful manner. Had 1t not been for the
exposure of the deal by the TRIBUNE Mr..
Mellor would have received no considera-
tion whatever. The Board adjourned to
Wednesday evening, June 30.
Committee on Finance.
At this evenings meeting OF tho City
Council the committee on finance will re-
commend o resolution appropriating t176
for the furnishing of the police station.
In view of the fact that the police station
Is, as yet, in an unfinished condition 1t Is
question how the balance OF the money
will be obtained. There Is q balance OF
e13 out of the 600 appropriated for re-
modelling 1t. II will take fully $50 to
complete the necessary work before the
furniture II bought. Several gas gets are
to be placed about the building; radiators
are to be placed In each room; lockers for
the mems clothes and shelves for their
helmets are to be placed In the lounging
room; cells are to be built In the woman's
ward, and wire screens are to be placed
over the windows. Taken altogether
there II q vast amount of unfinished work
leave balance on the wrong side OF the
appropriation.

The members of the City Council will
meet In joint convention this evening for
the purpose OF electing a city solicitor to
fill the unexpired term of Judge Bos-
worth. After the meeting of the conven-
tion both branches will meet In their re-
spective chambers to transact whatever
business may come before them. Accord
ing to the program agreed to last evening
Walter B. Vincent will be elected city

Letter Carriers Excursion.
The letter carriers of this city partici-
pated In the State Letter Carriers Excur-
sion which occurred yesterday afternoon.
The party took the o'clock boat to Fields
Point, where one of Col. Atwell's famous
o'clock bakes was enjoyed. After the
inner man had been satisfied the boys en-
gagged In different sports. One of the
features was . game Of baseball between
the clerks and carriers, the latter winning
by the score II to 6. William Chadwick of
this city was the umpire, and he was given
q bouquet In recognition of his poor work
In that position. Lovett of the carriers hit
q ball and made comical home run. When
the ball struck the ground dog pounced
upon 1t and started toward Providence
with 1t, Lovett In the mean time circling
the bases.
Fourth Of July Committee.
The committee on the Fourth of July
Celebration will meet this evening after
the meeting OF the joint convention.
While no actual program has been mapped
out 1t Is understood that the committee is
not in favor of much bell ringing and
early morning music. 1t Is probable that
the money, together with what additional
sum may be collected, will be used for a
display of fireworks in the evening at
jerks Park.
Dangerous Work.
Complaints were received at the police
station from a number of the residents of
Washington street that the men blasting
in the old ledge are handling the blasts In
a very careless manner. On different times
during the past few days large blocks of
stone have been hurled from the blasts
into their yards on Washington street. 1t
is only year ago that a young child named
Collette was killed by one of these large
stones. The stone weighed "a lbs. and
killed the child while playing In the yard,
within a few feet of It's mother. An or
dinance In regard to blasting was passed
q short time ago and the police intend to
investigate this matter.
