ever, Owing 10 The Storm.

All Of the Sound boats due in this
city yesterday morning arrived very
late, owing TO the heavy northeaster.
The freight boat Nashua was the first
to arrive at 1880 o'clock. The Kennebec
OF the Narragansett Bay line docked
at 9 o'clock and the Rosalie OF the JOY
Steamship company did not arrive un-
til 7:20 o'clock last night.
An Of the boats reported heavy seas
and high winds all through the Sound
with a very heavy roll and surf of
Point Judith. Yesterday morning the
wind had gone down to some extent,
but the seas were still high. and must
have made trouble for the passengers
on the passenger and freight boats.
Fortunately none of the steamers met
with accident and the only real incon-
venience experienced by the passen-
gers was the delay.

IN JAIL AND FORGOTTEN.
Annie Brewster, Therefore, Thinks Lille CT Legal
Meho1s In Tbs Siae.

Miss Annie Brewster claims there is
great hardship and much carelessness
in Rhode Island justice. She was ar
rested here March IA last on the charge
of lettering about the streets. she had
no friends and could not obtain oall,
so she was committed TO the jail at
Cranston to await the action of the
upper court.
Since her arrest the grand jury has
had sittings i'm June. september and
October. and no attention was paid TO
her case.
BY accident IL was discovered she
was in Jail on the charge preferred
months ago. and yesterday she was
brought before Judge Wilbur and dis
charged without bail
Miss Brewster says a person can be
kept in Jail at CranstOn a lifetime
without ever having been sentenced
there.
Her case had a parallel some time
ago when a WoonsOcket man was set
free after being in Jail three years
awaiting trial in the higher court.

ton of the favorite, for nearly everybody
wanted to back Mesmerist, so the Bromley
pair was backed as If it was all over. Mod
rine. High Order and the Madden pair We're
the only other ones backed. The start was
prompt and good and Modrine was soon in
front by comfortable margin, with Mes
merist at the head of the bunch behind. none
of them being out of it. Up the back
stretch they flew and, although Mesmerist
was going easily in second place, he was
not picking up any of the distance that sep-
arated him from the leader. AS they
rounded the upper turn, however, he grad
ually cut down Modrine's lead and when
Strengthened out for home was in front. In
the meantime High Order and Ildrim were
very much in evidence having come up
from behind and al the last furlong a

High Order began to falter, but stuck at
his work and finished gamely half a length
behind the favorite and neck in front Of
