-FOUR DAILY MAIL DELIVERIES.

RflI.

Restriction Inserted in the Post OMce
Bill.
The most important action taken upon
the post Office appropriation bill by the
Senate yesterday was the adoption of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Tillman Is. CO
reducing the number of deliveries Of mail
in all cities of the country to number
not exceeding four each day. The amend
ment was sharply antagonized as blow
to business interests in the large cities, but
the feeling of the Senate was such that,
despite the vigorous opposition, it prevailed
by decisive majority.
lively debate was precipitated by an
amendment of the committee striking out
the appropriation of $500 600 for rural free
delivery. By the close vote of 25 to o.
however, the committee was sustained and
the bill now carries no appropriation for
such delivery.
Just before adjournment the Senate pass
ed an important war measure authorizing
the President and general officers of the
army to supply the Cuban insurgents with
arms and munitions of war and empower
ing officers \)f the army serving in Cuba
to supply the needy inhabitants of the
island with medicines and subsistence
Mr.. Hansbrough presented the report of
the conferees upon the Alaska homestead
bill, and 1t was agreed to. The bill now
goes to the President.

HERSCOvITz DISCHARGED.
He Was Accused of WfuIy Smashing Window
In Or. SuIyan's House.

Harry L. Herscovitz was triedbe-
fore Judge Sweetland in the district
court this morning, for the alleged de-
facing of building belonging to Chris
topher Brennan and occupied by DIR.
Sullivan at the corner of Public street
and Prairie avenue. DR.. Sullivan tes-
titled that Herscovitz came to the
house early i'm the morning and said,
that IL the doctor did not come out to
attend his wife who was i'll. he would
break evepy window I'm the building
He refused to go with the man and
went back to bed. He said the man
returned soon afterwards and smashed
the windows.
Hercovitz testified that his wife had
been taken i'll with a shock and that
he had summoned the doctor who had
told him that he would go to attend
her. He did not do so and the defend
ant went TO the doctors office again to
ascertain whether or not he was COM
ing. He attempted to knock upon the
window when he slipped and his hand
went through the pane OF glass. The
court thought that from the testimony,
reasonable doubt existed as to the
mans malicious intent and discharged
him.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-12-16
He Had Cut Telephone Wire and II Prob
ably Fell Across Trolley Wire.
STRONG CURRENT ENTERED HIS BODY
BY His Fall From Pole His Skull and Back We're
Broken but Medical Examiner Says He Was
Dead Before Reaching Ground.

William A. Howland 45 years old,
employed in the East Providence Tele-
phone Company, was instantly killed
at the Broadway six corners at 1920
this forenoon. Mr.. Howland with Il. X.
Clarke, foreman for the company was
at work stringing new line, Mr.. How
land being on a pole located at the
southwest corner of the streets, while
MI. Clarke was directly opposite JUST
before the unfortunate man fell. Mr..
Clarke asked him what the trouble was.
his reply was I've got to cut tho
wire," and a second or two later Mr..
Clarke saw the form of his fellow
workman falling TO the ground.
Mr.. Clarke with other persons who
witnessed the distressing accident hur-
ried to Howland's $ assistance. but when
they reached him he was dead.
Medical Examiner, G.. w. Alliston,
was called and decided that death was
due to an electrical shock. The fingers
of the left hand were nearly burned
off, and there was wound as largo
as a silver half dollar on the right
wrist showing that the fluid had made
a complete current through the upper
portion of the body. His skull and
back were broken, but DIR. Ailiston
says that the man was uead before
he struck the ground.
a number of theories are advanced
to explain the accident. but the most
probable one is. that when Rowland
cut the wire. he allowed it to fall on
a trolley wire. BY some this is denied.
They say Rowland was an old time
lineman and he would not have made
such a mistake. At the Office OF the
company, but little could be learned
concerning the dead man, further than
he boarded on South Water street in
this city, and had been in the COM
pany's employ for long time. He was
single and his only known relatives
are his sister who resides in this state.
The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of John Williams
