OLNEYVILLE.
Stricken With FIT In Sa'oon- Notes
From III: Square and Vicinity.

John McKenna, a resident of Willow
street. was seized with a fit In John
McGann's saloon at 1901 Westminster
street yesterday afternoon. and those
who witnessed the attack say that FOR
brief period IL was thought that fatal
results would ensue. A man was dis
patched quickly, however, for a physi-
clan, and finding DR.. Henry w. Farrell
in his office, which was in an adjoin-
ing building, got him to the place In
very few moments. The physician was
successful in reviving McKenna after
much effort, and then the man was
taken to his home.
The police of the Sixth station and
the people in general are much incensed
at the action OF two employees OF the
Carpenter Ice company who Saturday
night, IL Is alleged, drove up to the
drinking fountain at the Junction OF
Broadway and Westminster street ana
took from the same nearly all OF the
ice which the box contained, and as a
result OF which thirsty people on the
thoroughfare were obliged 10 drink
warm water Sunday, If they drank at
all from the fountain. The matter was
reported to the police yesterday by per-
sons who claim to have seen the act
committed, and an investigation VIII De
made.
Friday night of the present week the

evening. The Rhode Island Brass band
will also be In attendance, and wnen
the ceremonies connected with the rag
raising are completed the band Will es-
cort the club and the invited guests to
a lawn party given under their auspices
I'm the annexed section. The club Will
have a blind run tonight. and a sur
prise is promised to at least part
of the contingent. Tomorrow night a
general meeting will be held. and 1t Is
thought that 1t will be an unusually
interesting one, while Thursday night
the club will attend the lawn party OF
the Central Falls Wheelmen. Surely
this popular Olneyville club under the
command Of Capt Johnson is improv-
ing the time, during the present weeR

Trolley Gar ana Wagon in Collisiou.
Clearing the Streets.


A trolley car that was coming down
Orms street yesterday afternoon ran
into a wagon owned by ]. F. Williams,
a Canal street grocer and as result
the car went off the track and one OF
the wheels of the wagon got right un-
der the car wheel and was smashed.
The car was Elmwood car NO. loZ, with
Fredf1oward as conductor and BenJa-
min West as motorman; Wnile the
driver OF the wagon was q. Z. BAKER.
The motorman claims that the ACCIDENT
was due to the carlessness of the driver
in falling to get out of the way when
the gong was sounded.
Employees of the highway depart
ment were around early this morning
removing the sand and gravel from
the square and Gladstone avenue
that had accumulated there as the re-

matter has been often referred TO by
Alderman Mccarthy in his talks with
people down at the city hall il seems
difficult to make those persons who
have charge of affairs there see the
necessity of better provision for taking
care OF the surface water in and about
Randall square. The damage by the
big storm of Sunday will figure close
to $1,000 within a short distance OF the
