Al Unusual Sight on the woonasqua-
tuckct- Other Matters.

Three young men In boat pulling up the
WoonasQuatucket river yesterday afternoon
was looked upon as something OF novelty by
the citizens of the town. for so long as can De
remembered no one has ever seen boat In
this mart OF the river before How the lads
managed TO get the boat into the river Is also
4 mystery. II was hard work for them to
work their way up against the stream. and
more than once spectators expected to SEQ 1t
capsixod, and had such been the case II is
probable that the boys would have been
drowned, for IL would have been quite i'm
possible for them TO fight their way against
3he strong tide. and ms the banks OF the river
are walled up with stone. their escape would
have been all the more improbable.
There was lots OF excitement in the front OF
the residence of Harry Daw. l55 Aiverson
avenue, last evening. There was shouting
such ss has not been heard in tho staid old
town of Johnston for years. There was also
. huge bonfire. and every boy In the neigh
borhood contributed his mite for this, but the
real event was the flinging to the breeze OF a
15-foot American flag from the top OF 40
foot pole by Mr. Daw, and this on account OF
Commodore Dewey's great victory.

AUBURN.

An almost fatal accident occurred on the
tracks Of the Consolidated road near Sou tn
Auburn about $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon as tito New York express passed through
at almost fpll speed. An unknown man
jumped from the rapidly moving train about
30 feut north of the trestle, and was very
rapidly hurled and tumbed along over the
ground and on TO tho trostle, where, by the
mercst chance. no escaped falling off. One Of
the train hands saw the rash act and gave
the signal to stop. but the train was NOV ing
so rapidly that 1t reached Norwood station
before this could be accomplished. On re-
turning to the scene OF the accident nothing
could he found but the heel OF a shoe that had
been ripped OFT violently. Though IL seemed
almost impossible that a man could 1.-Two after
such a leap. the trainmen finally concluded
that the man had been able to get up and get
away and the tiain started off. Lator 1t was
learned that the man got on ut Boston, in
tending to get off at Providence, but falling
asleep soon after lesving Boston did not wake
up until the train was passing through here.
He at once determined to Jump of and did
so. He told this to the people at house
where he stopped TO dress his wounds and fix
himself up. He had received big cash on
the thigh and bad cut on the wrist and bis
lower lip was also badly out He refused to
identify himself or be attended by doctor.

From Smoky.

Messrs. James Thorndike and E.
G. Norris came in from Smoky last
Monday, aud from Mr.. Thorndike,
who is one Of the owners of the
ryrannis mine, we learn the follow
ing facts regarding that property
The Tvrannis mine has been care
fully worked and prospected during
the past winter and preparations
are now being made to commence
he shipment of ore extracted. Al
most the entire winter was put in
stopping out ore Immediately under
The surface and about the old work
ings. There is now ready for ship
mcnt in the neighborhood Of IT'S
IONS of first class ore and between
600 and 700 tons Of jigging ore
ready for the mill, which will start
up next Monday.
TheSowners have Eve men now
working on ore besides several that
are prospecting, and the outlook for
II continuous output for the sum-
,ner is more favorable than At the
starting last fall.
The mill will be run for three
months steady, and, water permit
ting, there is ore enough in sight to
keep the mill Turning till fall.

Washington, May 10-The State
Department to-day gave out the
following::
Official Information has been re-
ceived that four Spanish cruisers
and three torpedo boat destroyers
have returned to Cadiz."
The safety of the Oregon from
attack is now completely assured
and the way is clear for military
operations in Cuba without running
the risk of having the occupying
army line Of communication cut off.
The impression at the war de-
partment is that no enduring peace
can be secured until the Spanish
navy has been destroyed and it now
appears that 70 do this our sailors
must make up their minds to go
after the Spanish, task very much
more difficult than that of meeting
them near our shores.
1t was suggested by some of the
members of the war board that there
was just possibility that the Span
ish squadron might take quick
passage into the Pacific through the
Suez canal and attack Dewey AT.
Manila.
II is said that contrary to the
common understanding the Suez
canal is open TO the warships Of
belligerent powers, so that ii the
Spanish choose to take this course
they would have long start of any
pursuing fleet from our side Of the
Atlantic. ~ sa ww
It is scarcely believed, however,
that the Spanish are willing to take
the great risk of exposing to our
attack their own home ports by the
Withdrawal of SO considerable pro-
portion Of their naval strength as
would be required to even match
Dewey.

A Washington special to the
Salt Lake Tribune says: Senator
Shoup to-day received word from
Salmon, Idaho, that the men who
will compose the company to be
known as the "Shoup Rangers
have all been examined by two
local physicians and found to be-
"a fine lot of men," The message
said that they would be able to
send 100 men. The men will go
to Cheyenne, Wy, where they will
be mustered into service as one
company Of Colonel Torrey's regi-
ment.
Senator Shoup, who has from
this end of the line directed the
organization Of this company, has
notified them that they can select
their captain and one lieutenant.
the other lieutenacy being reserved
for Walter C. Shoup, who has been
designated by Colonel Torrey for
this position.
George E. Shoup. who is inter
ested in the cattle business in Idaho,
has indicated strong desire to go
to the front with the rangers and
his brother.

Wsyler's Views on Warfare.

The Daily London Telegraph's
special correspondent at Madrid
had an interesting interview with
General Weyler few days afte,
Admiral Dewey's grand victory al
Manila. In-reply to the question
if he believed that by ending the
Cuban rebellion be would have pre-
vented the Spanish-American war,
Weyler said:

United States of pretext-thcy have

object, and I could and would have ac-

for much else"
In reply to the question whether the

HOnOrs For Dewey.

Fitting tribute was paid by the
senate to Commodore Dewey for the
magnificent victory he achieved in
the battle of Manila bay. The
message from the president was re
ceived, recommending that vote
Of thanks be extended by congress
to Commodore Dewey and the gall
liant officers and men of his com
mand. Without word of debate,
and without dissenting vote, the
senate agreed to the resolution, car.
rying into effect the recommends
ton Of the president. The senate
went farther even than that.
A bill was presented increasing
the number of rear admirals in the
navy from six to seven in order that
the president might nominate Com.
modore Dewey to the highest pos
sible position in the navy within
his gift and that, too, was passed
without dissent.
This will put $1,000 additional in
Dewey's pocket, besides giving him
rank over three Commodores as
we'll as Acting Admiral Sampson.
There will be double Lemon on
at Lewis brick store
