SCHoOLEY'S CASE.
Possibility OF a Charge OF Man.
slaughter Being Made.
Autopsy on Boiy Of Miss Flynn to Be
Made In NV York.

According to the latest phase OF the
Flynn case, there seems TO be some
doubt as TO exactly what charge Attor-
ney General Tanner will bring against
Henry c. Schooley, the trick bicyclist.
who is said TO be responsible. for the
death of Miss Maria A. Flynn at Watch
Hill last week. Some legal points have
not been determined as yet by the at
torney general. who has not been af-
forded an opportunity 10 thoroughly
examine into the case.
AS the case now stands. Schooley is
under arrest on the charge or attempt
ed assault, but the death of the girl
opens the question as 10 his RESPONSE
bility from a legal standpoint. Schooley
Is not obliged TO testify in Rhode ISL
and, and former misdeeds, which are
said to be many and serious, cannot be
brought up against him unless he has
been convicted of them. According TO
the opinion Of certain local legal lights
IL is claimed that II Schooley pursued
Miss Flynn so that in her terror she
Jumped into the water he can be
charged with manslaughter. There is
nothing positive TO show that the girl
died by drowning.
IL is for this reason that Attorney
General Tanner will have an autopsy
performed in New York, where the
body of the girl was taken shortly after
her death, and the question as TO death
before or after the girl was In the wa
ter may prove 10 be very important
feature of Schooley's trial.

PAWTUCKET MIDDLE.
Hearing Given by Executive Committee
OF State Committee.

The question which is the regular
Democratic city committee of Paw
tucket came up before a meeting of the
executive committee OF the Democratic
state central committee held at the
Narragansett Hotel at o'clock today.
There was quite a number OF the
members OF both factions present when
Chairman Owen called the meeting TO
order. and II was decided that each
party should have one particular cham
pion of its rights. Bernard j. Keenan,
was selected as the spokesman OF the
GIL faction and j. Edwin Ju6son for
the C'Brien side. and the time of each
was limited to 10 minutes. but this was
a dead letter.
The main question was whether the
committee composed of Second and
Third ward men, of which Elisha w.
Bucklin is chairman. or the committee
composed OF Third, Fourth and Fifth
ward men of which Thomas O'Brien Is
chairman, shall be authorized to con-
duct the affairs of the Democratic
party. Everybody talked. some OF them
talking all at once, and everybody
shouted for his own side. and IL was a
very few minutes to o'clock when the
Pawtucket men left the room, and the
executive. committee went into execu-
tive session in order TO arrive at some
conclusion.

From Turks Island.

Lying at Spellman's dock in this city

rig. towering masts and sky scrapers,
left Turks Island on August j, and on
Tuesday morning last she was OF Block
Island. f+
Capt. Hemmenway. who commands
the Antioch, Is more than pleased with
his trip and with the rapidity with
which he passed the health office and
custom house. for he began discharging
his cargo yesterday. On March IL last,
the Antioch sailed from Portland, Me-,
with 100000 feet of pine wood for Rio
Janeiro. Brazil. When Capt, Hemmen-
way left Rio the fleet OF Admiral Ger
vera was on its way west from the
Cape de Verde Islands. Capt. Hem
menway was aware of this, and natur-
ally felt some uneasiness In having to
steer directly across the path taken by
the Spanish fleet
Fortunately. however. the Spaniards
did not sight his vessel, passing sever
al hundred miles TO the northward OF
him, but ne was glad to get back home
all the same. The Antioch has always
been i'm the East Indian trade until the
present trip.

ROBBER ESCAPED.
Policeman Heard His Footsteps as He
Fled, but Gould Not Catch Him.

The liquor saloon OF Thomas Tuily Is
located at 453 Atwells avenue, and 1t
can be said that II is one OF the most
prosperous places of business of Its
kind on the hill. and this fact probably
led TO an attempt last night TO rob
IT, About 1880 o'clock officer Peter
Healy.p who patrols that beat, heard
peculiar noises in the vicinity OF q win
dow on the side OF the building in which
is situated Tullys shop, and he pro-
ceeded to investigate. AS he ap-
preached the corner of the building the
noise ceased, and he heard footsteps
retreating rapidly towards West Ex-
change street. He stepped quickly
around the corner, but could not see
the person. He could hear the foot
steps as the latter broke into run,
however. The officer ran out to West
Exchange street, but failed TO either
see or hear the marauder.
Then he returned TO the window at
Tully's. from which he supposed that
he had frightened a would-be roDper'
He looked the window over and, md
ing the deep indention of a jimmy
on the lower end OF the sash, he awoke
Mr.. Tully, who lives In another house
at the rear of the shop. They ex-
amined the premises. They found that,
although the window was closed when
they found it, the robber had been in
side and ransacked the drawers and
other receptacles where money might
have been put. and finding none had
then gone out after taking three boxes
OF Robert Bruce cigars.
The cash register, which had been
left open by the proprietor at the close
of business last night, had not been
tampered with although very small
amount of change which had been left
outside was missing. Nothing else was
disturbed, Oand the robber evidently
made a hasty retreat, closing the win
dow behind him so hard as TO attract
the attention Of the officer.
Mr.. Tully when seen by News mar
today had just related the details tc
Detective Cannon, and he said that M
was Of the opinion that the thief was
the same one who entered the place
about year ago. and who at that time
secured booty of the same nature, bu
in a larger quantity.
The. entrance had been gained on tina
occasion by way of the cellar ant
thence through trap door openinf
into the saloon. He gave IL as hi'
opinion, also, that the robber had fre
quented the place and observed large
quantities of money which Mr.. Tull,
had occasion to handle of late.
