have everything in readiness for building
the road. The appropriation will take

The dramatic club of the St. Edwards
society presented the military drama,
by Force of Impulse" to crowded
house last Thursday evening. All the
parts were well taken, and reflect much
credit on the members of the club. A
large proportion of those in the cast have
won laurels in previous entertainments,
and met the expectations of their friends
on this occasion. Miss K F. Horrlgan
and Lott O'Halloran impersonated the
leading characters in very praiseworthy
manner M. O'Halloran, Miss Martha
Desmond and Miss Maggie Shea were
great favorites. James Warren, unlike
him as 1t seems, acts the scoundrel with
great ease. w. E. Hanley,D. J. Hanley
DIR. Sullivan, j. Enright, James Roche
and Joseph Conner are all worthy oil
mention. The rocking to sleep of little
"Alice" was a very pretty feature Of the
play. The solos by Mrs. D. j. Hanley
and w. A. Chamberlain and the music
by Jordan's orchestra were much enjoyed
The net proceeds were $14O.
The body OF John Carroll was found or
the east road to the Hollow, about hall
way between the borough line and the
Wright place, early Tuesday morning
A. II. Simonds was the first to see the
man, when on his way to work, about
6.15, and there were no signs of life al
that time. The body lay In the gutter
beside the road the hat some few feet
farther down, both being covered with
white frost, indicating that he must have
lain there the most of the night. Medi.
cal Examiner Newton was notified and
made an examination. There were no
wounds or bruises on the body to indicate
foul play, and it is the opinion of Dr.
Newton that the man died from natural
causes. Carroll had been drinking dur.
ing the day, and In all probability fell in
a drunken stupor while on his way home
and either froze to death or died from the
effects OF asthma, to which he was SUBJ
jeet. He was about 80 years of age, and
has a mother In Staffordville. Carroll
was released from Tolland but a few days
ago. The body was taken to Woonsocket
for burial yesterday morning.
