BOATS ADRIFT.
Several Broke From Their Mo0rings
at Pawtuxet.
Steward at the Rhode Island Yacht Club
Prevents Serious Damage.

The violent northeast wind which blew
over the waters OF Narragansett bay yester-
day afternoon carried away quite number
Of pleasure boats from their moorings at or
near the anchorage of tho Rhode Island
Yacht Club at Pawtnxet. Among these was
the yawl Caprice, owned by Mark Nichols
and Fred Tattersall; the Harold ID. the sloop
Fred, owned by George Brownell; the Ban
nerett and Frank Whites Emellne.
The boats were all secured by the prompt
action of Steward Nichols Of the club, and
had IL not been for his presence Of mind the
most serious consequences would have en-
sued owing to the fact that three heavy
mud scows which had been anchored of
Sabn's Point light broke away and drifted
directly down on the club feet.
Mr.. Nichols put off in boat, and boarding
one Of the scows and getting a limo on the
first started for the club house with 1t, tc
make fast to the dolphin, and thus hold the
barges from drifting. While he was doinp
this one of the two tugs in charge Of the
scows bore down and picked them up, barely
in time to avert disaster.

NO OPPOSITION
To Union Railroad Co.'s Petition to
Lay Rails to New Station.
Double Tracks to Be Laid In Francis and
Smith Streets.

The joint committee on railroads of the
City Council gave hearingIat city hall
yesterday afternoon on the pstitions OF
the Union Railroad Company to lay rails
and to erect poles and wires in Francis
street to Smith street. and In Smith street
from Francis to Orms stre et
Manager Albert I. Potter OF the Union
Railroad Company. stated that IL was the
company's desire to continue the double
tracks wherever IL ouulu, for by 90 doing
the public could te afforded much better
facilities and service. Double tracks
could be conveniently laid on Francis
street to Smith street, but on this thor :
oughfare to Orms IL would not be wide
enough for two tracks.
Mr.. Amasa M. Eaton favored granting
petition, claiming that IL was desired by
the residents of Smiths Hill, As it would
save fully one third the distance now re-
quired In reaching the centre OF the oity.
He believed that now should bo the time
to settle the matter anu nave the rails
laid before tho street was macadamized
and that wherever q switch was put In
that the highway, II not maoadamized,
should be paved.
There was no opposition to the petition,
and no one was present either for or
against 3he petition of the New York,
New Haven and n artford Railroad Com
pany to relocate q spur track on Aliens
avenue. The committee took the matter
under consideration, and will probably
report ut the next meeting Of the Com
mon Council.

AN ADVERSE DECISION.
Appellate Court Denies the Petition of the
Peoples Loan and Trust Co.

The Appellate Division Of Supreme Court
has denied the petition of the Peoples Loan
& Trust Company in the insolvency case Of
Charles r.. Sweet. The opinion handed down
says regarding the transaction in which the
mortgage was given:
"Only $3.50 was paid by the mortgages,
Jasper q. Hyde 81 Co., to the mortgageor,
aud that they gave to him receipt for the
remainder. $3.50; so that the mortgage,
though nominal,y for $1,000, was really for
s45o. Such a transaction was evidently in
tended to hinder, delay and defraud the
creditors of the mortgageor. IL was trans
action fully known TO both parties, and
therefore both must be held to have partic-
ipated in the fraudulent intent. The subse-
quent assignment to the Peoples Loan a.
Trust Company is Of no consequences, be-
cause 1t appears that it was substantially the
incorporation of j G.. Hyde g. Co. to which
the property of the firm was transferred,
and. SO far as appears, without considera-
tion,'
