WALL WAS LITTLE KNOWN.
News Of Providence Muir

Clinton.

Clinton, Oct 3O-If there was any
doubt of the position of Joseph E. Har-
rtty in this representative campaign, it
was set at rest tonight, when Mr.. Har-
rity addressed a communication to one
of the local papers, exceedingly hostile
in tone. and full of war
The communication is as follows:
"Will David I. Walsh please tell me
why he has refused to call meeting
of the democratic town committee and
why he has not called a meeting of the
district committee? Are he and boss
Croker to continue to do the business
of the party irrespective of any com
mittee? Are they going to continue to
DO business with members of the re-
publican town committee? If so, Chair
man Walsh better call a meeting of the
democratic town committee, pay the
outstanding bills and disband"
Mr.. Walsh was not in town, except
for few moments this evening, and
could not be seen. A member of the
town committee said that Mr. Walsh
had refrained from calling a meeting
of the town committee from motives of
the highest delicacy. Mr.. Walsh is the
only candidate whose interests are at
stake. He is chairman of the town
committee He expressed the desire to
other members of the town committee
that the committee should not be en-
barrassed with his campaign. A ma
jority of the members of the committee
were seen by The SPY correspondent.
They said that while they were sure
the committee, with the exception of
single member (meaning Mr. Harrity)
would do all in their power to help him,
they thought his views spoke highly of
the delicaey of Mr.. Walsh.
Mr.. Harrity's record win be given in
full, within a few days, in an effort to
show that this is not the first time he
has been on the warpath for candidates
of his own party. He was responsible
for the defeat of w. G. McGllnchey,
who was a candidate for selectman in
previous years His own defeat last
year, was due in part, it will be
claimed, to his free trading % other
candidates on the ticket in his own in
terest.
This interesting contest between Mr..
Harrity ana the democratic party is
likely TO be fought in the open from
this on.
Edward Wright, a tramp, who claims
TO be a Georgia cracker, is in the Gin
ton hospital with an injured hip and
bad arm. He was picked up in South
Lancaster Saturday morning at 6
o'clock, beside the Humphrey bridge.
He says he fell from the bridge Fri
day evening, and lay on the ground all
night. 1t will be several weeks before
he will be able to leave the hospital.
The police were waiting for William
II. Wall, who killed his cousin in Provi-
dence, IN case he got as far as Clinton
lie never did, but was arrested at
Mansfield. Wall was employed by the
Interloraine Signal company, which has
been doing work for the railroads in
this vicinity. He was boarding at South
birmingham, and came up here to do
his work, or was sent to other locai-
ties, as necessary.
1t is doubtful, the police think if
Wall knew at the time of his arrest
that he was wanted for murder Ac-
cording to reports received here, the
man died after Wall had left, and from
the after effects of a blow, or a chok
ing Wall had some few acquaintances
in town, but no friends.
Treasurer Walter r. Dame thought
today that the Clinton and Hudson
street railway may not be in running
shape until spring. The long promised
cars are still being promised. The la
test excuse received by Mr.. Dame from
the company that has the contract, is
that the original contract has been mis-
laid. For answer Mr.. Dame sent a
copy of the contract, which was certi-
fed
Portland is coming to town Wednes-
day evening to play the second game
of the New England league polo series
on Clinton ground. The Clintons are
in Lawrence this evening, where they
mean to win, IL they can.

G. Frank Fairbanks, Jr.. and num-
Der of local republicans went to Sterl-
ing tonight to hold a smoke talk in the
interest of Thomas s. Davis and Fred
H. Bates.
S. Ives Wallace, in speaking of the
report that he changed his vote on the
telephone bill said to the correspondent
of The Spy: 81 never changed my vote
on the bill--but voted against it every
time it came up. Nothing about cheap
er telephones was specified in the bill,
and it embraced proposition to put
more work onto an overloaded commits
sion.
