THE death of Hon. Jabez w.
Mowry, which occurred in Smith
field last week, removes from earthly
existence a romewhat remarkable
man. Mr.. Mowry came of good
old New England stock, and in early
life he did have the advantages of
what is now termed liberal educa-
ton. His schooling was, if we are
not mistaken, acquired in the district
schools. But his education did not
stop there he was notsatisfed with
narrow or superficial knowledge,
and he supplemented his somewhat
meagre schooling with good and
extensive reading. The country
lyceum, which now unhappily has
gone out of fashion to a great extent,
was one Of the agencies Of Mr..
Mowry's advancement, and he be-
came a keen anG logical debater.
an requirement which afterwards
proved a benefit to him. Before
the division of the old town of Smith
field, Mr.. Mowry's talents were
recognized and he represented the
town for a number of years in the
lower branch of the general assem-
bly,. Later, when the town was
divided, he became a valued and
prominent member Of the Rhode Is
land Senate. In the Assembly, his
sound sense and practical knowledge
made him a man Of much influence
and for many years he was figure
in state politics. His influence was
marked in the agr cultural parts Of
the state. 1t was always understood
IN the State House that when the
member from Smithfield had some
thing to say it was we'll worth listen
ing to. His favorite pastime was
fox hunting, and strange to say,
death came to him while engaged in
his beloved relaxation. He lived his
life in quiet neighbOrhood, but he

An electric road from 0Ineyville
to Danielson could not fail to be a
great benefit to Olneyville. A steam
railroad between these two points
was so many times projected and so
many times proved a failure, that
many people have little faith in the
electric road being built. AS is gen
orally known, a company Of Capi-
tallSts have a charter to construct a
line, and those in a position to know,
assert with great positiveness that
work will be begun in the near
future. Speculation as to whether
such road will pay, while harmless,
cannot be very conclusive, = only
a trial will demonstrate the impor-
tant fact. The country that will be
opened if the road is builtis certainly
large and ample, and its develop
ment would be watched with great
interest.

This morning about 4 O'Clock
Dick Coffee was aroused from a
nap by hearing some one moving
about in his hoase. In his own
words he hit the floor a. run
ming" but his man got away.
Upon re-entering the house he
found his coat, pants and shirt
had been taken. The track oi q
person barefooted was taken from
the house and followed. Soon the
pants were found and further on
the shirt and coat.
The house of viii Cue, near the
roller mill, was also entered and a
$40 bill stolen from the pants
pocket and a coat taken.
The house adjoining that of
Cues was also entered and the
sum of $2.5 taken.
The house of Jim Houston, a
negro, near the ice factory, was
also visited and the sum of so
cents taken. A pair of pants WAS
also carried from the house but
later were found outside.
Two other houses in the same
vicinity were also entered and
small amounts taken.
In every instance the footprints
around and leading away from the
houses were that of a barefooted
person and 1t is fully believed that
the same man has been guilty of
th9 whole job. The ARDMoREITE
is informed that search warrants
have been issued to the officers
and it is hoped that this petty
night prowling business will be
stopped.
