REMARKABLE SHOOTING.
Jack Fanning's Splendid Exhibition OF
Marksm anship at Centredale.

lack Tanning of California, gave q
wonderful exhibition of shooting at the
Centredale Gun club grounds yester-
day afternoon, and the local cracks
opened their eyes when they saw him
break 40 in each string in two runs or
SO birds, making a total OF 9S out OF
100 one of the misses caused by shoot
ing at a piece of blue rock that was
thrown from the trap instead OF
whole bird.
one of the great features of Fan
ning's shooting was that almost every
bird broken was completely smashed
to bits. while those broken by the
other shooters were frequently only
chipped. Some of the men essayed to
explain this by saying that Tanning
aun shot harder than the others or that
his shells were loaded differently, put
the Californian said that, while his gun
was a good one and his shells were
,oaded according TO his idea of how 1t
abouId be done, the chief factor in the
smashing of the targets lay in the fact
that he aheId on to the centre OF the
bird. He said the gun he used was an
n. G.. Smith gun, which he had shot as
many as 100000 times.
On doubles Tanning seemed TO DC
equally at home, and his only failures
appeared to be when he attempted tc
break the birds university to the order
i'm which they were sprung. His loao
for trap work consists OF As grains o.
Gold Dust smokeIess powder and one
and one-eighth ounces of No. 71a chilled
shot. Fanning's best score Is 104 live
rioeons without miss, and he bea'

JAMES NORTH'S DEATH.
Coroner Began an Inquest Into the
Barr00nl Fatality.
Fly: witnesses Examined Yesterday-ln-
quiry 10 Be Continued

The inquest into the circumstances
surrounding the death OF James Nortn
at the Union House on Olneyville square
Wednesday. August 3. was begun at
the Sixth police station yesterday anu
continued from $50 a. m. until O'CLOCK
In the afternoon when an adjournment
was taken until this morning when IL
was resumed again.
Yesterday five witnesses were exam
ined. There was no one present except
the newspaper men and Attorney James
A. Pierce from the law office OF COM
stock Il Gardner who will probably de-
fend Hurn the man who admits COM
mitting the act causing North's deatn
Mr.. Pierce took notes through the en-
tire Investigation and seemed 10 tnink
that Hurn had good case.
The first witness was Joseph Rollin-
son the proprietor of the place who
seemed anxious TO tell as much as pos
sible about the affair as he supposed IL
occurred although he did not see the
fatal blow struck. Neither did he hear
the row which preceded IL and in short
his testimony when boiled down ulu
not yield any information, except the
thing so common in the establishment
that they were in a great measure
usually unnoticed.
Harry Ellis the next witness did not
see North struck with the cue and his
recollection Of the row preceding II was
very faint. He saw the man, North ly-
ing on the floor and was the first to call
the attention OF the others TO it when
he with Harry Schofield and William
Mcclure picked him up and set him in a
chair until the arrival OF DR.. Watt.
William Taylor's testimony corrobo-
| rated that of Ellis except that he claim
| ed TO have heard the row but paid no
attention to 1T and did not look towards
| the men.
| The next witness was DIR Watt. who
| could give no information other than
| that he had attended the man and or
| dered his removal to the hospital after
| dressing the injuries. William Mcclure
proved the best witness OF the day for
| he swore to having seen the row and
| later the blow delivered but did not see
Hurn leave the place North fell at the
| witness feet. He helped to place the in
jured man I'm the chair and saw the cut
upon North's head. He said that North
| had been quarrelling with friend OF
Hurn's and had struck him In the face
| whereupon Hurn resented the action
| and then North turned towards Hurr
but as the latter seized the billiard cue
from the rack North had paused and
| Hurn poised the cue above his head In
threatening attitude. The two mer
stood thus for a brief space OF time
glaring at each other, when suddenly
the cue descended upon North's heat
and he was felled to the floor uncon
scious
Harry Schofield was the next witness
but his testimony threw no new ligh
upon the matter and then the adjourn
ment was taken.

WILL RUN BY ELECTRICITY.
Providence, Warren AMI Bristol Road
VIII BE Equipped with Trolley System.

There does not seem to be any doubt
now concerning the equipment OF the
Warren and Bristol branch of the Con-
solidated road with the electric trolley
service, and this is emphasized by the
work now being done in double track
ing the road between harrington and
Warren, and IL is expected that the
rails will be laid in three weeks. The
Stonington division 7s-pound rails, now
being replaced with 100-pound rails,
which are in excellent condition, will be
used on the Warren branch.
The bridges at harrington and War
rem will be single tracked, but there will
be double tracks between the bridges.
No additional track will be laid beyond
Warren this year, and the distance from
Warren to Bristol IL so short that half
hour trips can be made without turn
out, and with a turnout electric cars
can be run at intervals OF 10 minutes.
The long siding at Swansea, II Is calcu-
lated, makes frequent trains possible
between Warren and Fall River.
1t is understood that the Consolidated
road has a contract for five years with
the Union Railroad Company, which
will furnish power that is needed. and
will also run the Warren and Bristol
cars. which will be as large as the city
will permit. and be fitted for compart-
ments for baggage. through the city's
streets TO Market square and the new
passenger station. This will do away
with all transferring at the junction OF
the two roads.
The electric service will probably not
be ready earlier than October or No.
vember, but there is pretty general
opinion that, with such formidable com.
petition ahead. the promoters OF the
highway trolley from Providence TO Fal
River Will give up the project.

Miss Edwards Invested
$1,000 Of Her Money
IN A PATENT TURNsTILE.
Later She Was G ven Check For
$500 That Was Dishonorcd.
CASE In HANDS OF AN ATTORNEY

Frank M. vinlng, the erstwhile pro-
moter of this city. who Is now soJourn-
ing in the Boston Tombs, is said 10
have been largely interested In mission
work, and also gave much OF his time
to cultivating the acquaintance OF peo-
pie who were also interested In mission
work. In this way he met Miss Amy a..
Edwards. who is a sister OF David G..
Edwards of No. 206 Point street, ana
Mr.. Edwards was induced TO assume
the position OF treasurer of the Smith
& vining Gold Mining Company.
Mr.. Edwards claims that he has not
been a loser from his transactions with
yining. He still holds the books or the
mining concern, which, Ii Is claimed,
holds really valuable properties ana
will eventually be reorganized, not-
withstanding the loss of Vining. MISS
Edwards, however, was not SO 1ortu
nate. for Vining Is said to have induced
her to invest money i'm his patent turn
stile, claiming that railroad magnate
had offered him $4,000 for the patent
but he did not deem that the price OF
fered was enough. and he proposed 10
get $4,000 by waiting.
To wait, however. Vining said. re-
Quired money, as the eNpSuscs VI P'".
ing the invention on the market woulo
be heavy. Upon the ingenious repre-
sentations made to her, Miss Edwards
advanced $2600, IL Is understood, III
three sums of varying amounts. This
she did without consulting any or hei
friends for advice. Later she desired &c
know what chance she had of getting
back her money. and after many prom
| ises and much deay Vining gave her
check on the Industrial Trust Company
| for $500 in partial settlement OF hel
claim.
The check came back with mari
stating that Vining had no funds II
| that institution. and when confronted
with the worthless check he expressed
| great surprise that there were no funds
left. but said everything was all right
| as he had sold the turnstile patent TO
sic. 900 through his New York agent.Th'
| latter was communicated with and sais
| the sale had been made, but the none!
| had not yet been received. Or this TN
first $4,000 paid over would be given Z
| Miss Edwards. but II is needless to sa.
that she has received nothing.
Miss Edwards has placed the matte
in the hands of an attorney, and som
effort will be made TO recover he
money, although the chances are no
very good. No record has been foun
yet OF the turnstile having been pa
| tented.

singing ssThe star spangled Banner"
la the very jaws OF dcath'
singing our glorious anthem,
some with their latest brcath'
Tho strains OF that solemn music
Through the spirit win ever roll,
Thrilling with martial ardor
The dcpthsof each patriot SOUL
Hearing the hum Of the bnlletsl
Eager 10 charge the foe'
Bidding the call 20 battle,
Where crimson heart streams now
Thinking OF home and dear ones.
OF mother. OF child, OF wife.
They sang ''The Star spangled Banner
On that field Of deadly strife.
They sang with the voices OF heroes.
In the face of the spanish guns,
AZ they leaned on their loaded rifles,
With the courage that never runs
They sang to our glorious emblem.
Upraised ON that war worn sod,
As the saints in the old arena
Sang song OF praise TO God.
