STATUTORY REMEDY.
SET SHARES FOR GAME.


Since the state game commission was
given a rowing commission TO protect
game Of all kind they have been ex-
ceedingly active. and have already cap
tured two men who used snares. AL
bert A. Smith and allie" Burlington
are the accused. They were arraigned
in Judge Harris court at Chepachet
yesterday on the charge OF snaring
game. Smith only a few hours before
had arranged his trans and was very
much surprised to think that the COM
missioners had found them I'm the
woods OF Glocester and in less than "a
hours after he set them. Smith begged
hard TO get awav and made all sorts
OF promises. but the commissioners
knew that he came from a family that
had decided taste for snaring. It
cost Smith S27 for the Job and he was
not allowed time to catch a partridge
at that.
Burlington was caught "reti handed"
and said: well. boys. you've got me.
and all that / ask for is time to go
home. get some money and I wi.l call
upon Judge Harris" He kept his word.
The commissioners propose to keep an
eye on all persons who are known TO
indulge in violations OF the game laws
and no one viii escape punishment e
caught.

A FAKE SENSATION.
Story Of the Accident TO The Steamer
Kennebec Near New York.
No Panic Among The Passengers Nor Did
They Suffer From Hunger

The craze for the sensational so man.
ifest recently I'm the columns OF the
Journal and Bulletin, was again sig
nally exploited last evening when a
story was printed 10 the effect that the
steamer Kennebec Of the Narragan-
sett Bay line. which left this city Wed
nesday evening. had crashed on the
rocks near Fort Schuyler; that a big
hole had been stove in her bottom; that
there was a wild panic among the pas
sengers. who were nearly famished be-
cause there was not food enough on
hoard. and that the accident was due
TO t'he Ignorance OF the officers In COM
mand.
The only suspicion OF truth in the
whole story is that steamer did ground
She did not crash on the rocks. but
ran on a sand bar during an impene-
trable fog. No hole was made in her
hull and she got or and proceeded To
her pier without Injury Moreover, she
arrived In this city today on the regu-
lar trim from New York and will leave
again this evening.
There was no suffering from hunger
among the passengers. for there was
food enough on board 10 have fed them
lavishly for four days. and the ground
ing was not due 10 ignorance, but TO
fog.
In word the whole story was a fab
rica tien hung upon one diminutive neg
~ fact: but the Journal newsgatherers
are not employed TO gather facts. il
would seem. but rather TO manufacture
barefaced fakes.
