The Ferrv Collision.

United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger continued their examination
yesterday in the matter of the running
down of the gasoline launch William D
by the ferry steamer Oakland a few days
ago. The examination brought out the
fact that the steamer was running at the
rate of eleven miles an hour just before
she overhauled the launch, and that if
she kept on her course instead of at
tempting to back she would have gone
ahead of the launch and out of danger.
The investigation will be resumed at /
o'clock next Monday afternoon

HER MONEY GONE.
Mrs. AshIins's $3.50 Disappeared
With Prospective BoaTder.
She Offered 10 Keep His Money For Him,
But He Secured Hers Instead.

Mrs. Alexander Ashiine OF North
Providence Is. according to her story to
the town police, $3.50 poorer than she
was, and she mas also less confidence
in mankind than she had before. The
man who imposed upon her credulity
first appeared at the Ashlin House, "a
bording house conducted by Mrs. Ash
line. at No. 900 Mineral Spring avenue,
in the settlement known as Maryville,
i'm North Providence, short distance
from the Pawtucket line. The stranger
apparently came from Pawtucket ana
upon his arrival he at once sought the
landlady and inquired II II was con-
venient for her TO add to the number
OF guests at her establishment.
lie was a very suave talkceF, wei
dressed and made an excellent appear
ance. and in the opinion OF Mrs. ASH
line was a desirable boarder, and she
agreed To take him as a boarder. After
making the necessary arrangement the
man partook OF his dinner and later ne
fiourished a big bunch" OF money In
the presence of Mrs.Ashline ana others.
The bills on top of the roll were nves
and tens, and from the appearance
Mrs. Ashline was led to believe that the
informed her new boarder that he mao
better leave the money with her ana
not take any chances of losing IL. rms
was the opportunity the stranger was
looking for and he at once aNailed hlfn-
self of her offer.
He wanted TO be sure, however ne
said. that his money would be safe, ana
Mrs Ashline told him that he could put
his money with her own, and she then
led him TO the place where her money
was concealed. This seemed TO stLtlsiy
him, and he put his bag of money down
beside the handkerchief belonging 10
his landlady, which contained $3.50 IN
bills. Mrs Ashline then, thinking the
stranger might need some OF his money
mt any time gave him a key 10 the
room Later in the afternoon the man
informed her that he was going 10 tne
depot for his trunk, and he left the
house When he did not return Tor sew
eral hours Mrs. Ashlin became suspl-
cious and began an Investigation. The
handkerchief and bag were found where
they had been left, but instead OF con-
| tanning money both were filled with old
| papers.
Mrs. Ashline at once reported the
matter To the North Providence police,
! but she has little hope of seeing hei
| money again. The stranger was APP
parently about 81 or 80 years OF age,
| about feet inches in height, and
weighed about $50 younds. He had
| dark eyes and hair, was of dark com
| plexion, and had black moustache. lie

gunent Monday or Tuesday might

He says he would not have agreed to
THIS arrangement If he could have fore
seen that The Americans would act so
shrcwdly. He begged the arbitrators
10 bear this in mind and not be too
much Influenced.
General Harrison listened attentiyely
to this par of Webster's speech. and
there WIS a knowing twinkle in his
eye. He is exceedingly busy at every
sitting listening to the arguments and
taking notes. Ii is said that he will
produce Il very powerful speech. and
much interest in hearing him has been
awakened. His address probably will
continue for a whole week. and thus
