the announcement of seven deaths from

this number of deaths is large, it has

have been expected for three days as
they were given up by the physicians.
Only two cases were reported up to the

The precinct in dispute includes that
portion Of the township outside the

Charles WhittemOre Burned
to Death This Morning.

Fireman-He Was so Years Old.

Charles Whittemore, an elderly man who
lived by himself In apartments over
grocery store on Cranston street near
Parade, was burned to death shortly after
3 o'clock this morning.
The fire was discovered by an employee
of the Narragansett Electric Lighting Co.,
who was obliged to smash in an alarm box
In order to send i'm an alarm.
When the firemen arrived ar6 found
that man was in the building tl.y made
their way to the second story an found
the body burned almost to cris, II the
hallway near his door. The boy was
wrapped in blanket and taken on, Of the
house.
The latest theory regarding the origin
of the fire is that Whittemore, who was
subject to fainting spells, had arisen to
get drink of water which was kept out
side of his door and dropped his lamp
which exploded setting fire to the build
ing.
Deceased was in destitute circumstances es

the alumni, organized three years ago, is
but 10.
One of the customs of the society Is that
when member dies his chair and cover
shall be laid for him at each meeting, as
though he was present. This custom is to
be continued until the last member Is left
to dine alone. The affair last evening was
informal and no speeches were made.

but during the last eight months of 1896
We actually recorded more than $4,000.

With our new plans in operation, we
think our number for 1897 will easily be
reached. Our officers regularly en-
ployed in the work have Increased dur
ing the past nine months from 2O49 to

number, and are already receiving appli-
cations at the rate Of about 120 a month

the fair. The judges were Thomas Cava-
naugh, James Kelley, John McGonigale,
Charles Barlow and Albert Waterman.
Two trials were necessary and after the
second trial the judges announced that the
winners were Patrick Lane and Miss Mag

INCIPIENF Strike
Operatives at Albion Mills
Wanted a Holiday.
They Refused to Work After
Their Request Was Denied.
Trouble Was Amicably Settled and Operations
Were Resumed This Morning.

The Albion Mills, located at Valley
Falls, was the scene of some dissatisfaction
on the part of the help yesterday morning,
and although not on an extensive scale,
yet for time the dissatisfied ones made 1t
interesting in the neighborhood of the
mill.
New Years day is generally observed by
the French people as one of the most i'm
portant holidays in the calendar of the
year. All manual labor ceases, and the
day is given up to social calls and friendly
greetings.
In pursuance of this custom demand
was made upon the management of the
mill to shut down yesterday in order that
the help, who are mostly French, might
enjoy the day according to national GUS
tom. This request being refused, the
strike was inaugurated, and some 15 or 20
of the mill operatives left the establish
ment during the day.
