EAST GREENWICH.

Rev. G. b. Cutler OF the Free Bap-
tist-church has sent In his resignation.
He has received the appointment as
chaplain Of the American Seaman's
Friend Association at the Brooklyn
navy yard. This IL a very old organ
ization and requires man of ability
to fulfill the responsibility. Such
man Is Mr.. Cutler. since once upon a
time Mr. Cutler followed the sea and
therefore understands the nature OF
seamen. Then, too, the salary is much
larger than he received here. Mr.. Cut
Ter has been connected with the Free
Baptist church OF this place for three
years, having previously held a similar
charge at Auburn. During his stay
among us he has been hard worker
and has greatly built up the church in
every way. The church will probably
be unable TO raise his salary and SO
will have to let him go. During the
present controversy over the election OF
a public school superintendent Mr.. Cut
Ter was the one selected as best fitted
to fill the position, but he probably will
not have an opportunity TO show his
talents In this capacity. His resigna-
tIon is to take place the last Sunday IN
this month.
Mrs. e. Mills. who moved to this
place from tTONluence III the early
summer removed 10 the city today and
will reside on Warren street.
At 1880 O'clock Yesterday afternoon
the people were aroused by the ringing
OF the fire alarm. and Immediately a
crowd gathered around the place OF ex-
citement. The fire was In the thickly
settled part of the town. just back of
Main street. In some unknown way
fire started in the barn belonging to
Mr. Thomas Calvin, "a local dry goods
dealer. While the alarm was being
rung In Mr.. Calvin released his horse
and dog and removed his carriages to
a place OF safety. The fire company
responded to the call promptly and did
fine work IL took them but few
minutes to get the fire under control.
The fire started in the loft, and as there
was considerable hay. II burned quite
briskly for few minutes. The roof
was burned of. but the lower part of
the barn was not injured except by
water. There has been no estimate
placed as To the loss. but 5000 or 5000
will probably cover II. IL was insured
The only thing noteworthy about the
fire was what the damage might have
been had IL got under wav. and for this
reason the fremen are TO be praised.
Miss Lily Arms, who has been spend
ing several weeks In Boston. returned

EWS IN AND ABOUT /.
THESE PLANTATIONS


A regular meeting of the common
council was held last evening. Presi-
dent Jenks presided and all members
except Mr.. Smith were present.
Councilman Shippee presented joint
resolution appropriating $4,000 for paw
ing Cottage street with asphalt pave
ment.
Councilman Ryder asked IL any esti-
mate of the cost OF the work had been
prepared, and Councilman Shippee re-
piled that the estimate and measure
ments had been made by the City En-
gineer. He stated that the distance to
be covered amounted to about 1900
square yards an. that at $2.20 per
square yard the cost would be about
the sum asked for. III the work could
be done at 81 .65, or even $3.50 per square
yard. as the report of the City Engi-
neer stated that the work had been per-
formed in some cities, the cost would
be much less. The laborers OF the city
could be employed up to the part where
the concreting is done, and IL would be
far better TO pay the money out this
way than to make an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the poor department IT had
been stated that IL would be bad idea
to establish precedent of laying ex-
pensive pavements in face of the fact
that the General Assembly Is liable TO
pass a bill at any time whereby the
burden OF the cost of paving the streets
will have to be borne by the abutting
land owners As Cottage street In one
of the principal thoroughfares of the
city and has been In bad condition for
a long time, he stated that he was not
in favor OF delaying the necessary i'm
provements until that time. During the
past 10 years the residents on the
street have paid into the city treasury
over $66.000 I'm taxes. and they should
be entitled TO some considerations.
More discussion followed and upon
motion of Councilman Keough the
matter was finally referred to the joint
standing committee on highways by
the following roll call vote: Ayes
President jerks. Councilmen Kelley.
Keough. Mason. McAloon. Ryder.
Thornley, and WiImarth: Noes-Coun-
