Horse Made Circultous Dash Through
Business Streets.
One Man Attempted 10 Stop the Animal BY
SEEING Its Tall, but Failed.

A horse attached 10 a light express
wagon. the outfit being the property OF
James w. Eldredge, of Carpenters cor
ners. East Providence, made things
quite lively about 1 o'clock this after
noon i'm the centre of the city. Tha
horse was being fed by Mr.. Eldredge
on Leonard street, just around the
corner OF North Main street. when for
some reason, so far unknown. the
animal became frightened and started
to run towards the First Baptist
church.
Mr.. Eldredge managed TO seize the
rope attached to the halter and tried
to stop the horse. but as the animals
pace Increased he was unable to keep
up with II and was thrown down. one
wheel of the wagon passing over his
body. The horse on reaching the
church turned sharply around. left a
part of the wagon i'm the street and
started back to Market square. In the
meantime Charles Higney OF the Roger
Williams hotel tried to stop the animal
and seized hold OF its tail. This the
horse did not like and jerking it's tall
il threw Higney on TO the
~
ride that was by no means enjoyable,
and far from safe.
Through Market square. Westmins-
ter and Weybosset streets went the
nag and then turned into the alley be-
tween the postofiice and the Banigan
leaving another part of the
wagon and getting rid OF Mr.. H.gney.
Dashing out on TO Dyer street, the an
NAL crossed Crawford street bridge
and then ran up South Water streN "
towards Market square. When near
he square what remained OF the wag-

Two suits Of Benjamin iin against
George W. Dover were tried together
before Judge Douglas and a jury to-
day. The suits were 10 recover on two
notes for s257.50 which were given in

two insurance men that he could have
his money back any time he wanted il,

in, but on examining the two policies
which had been left with him when he

WILL COURT ENJOIN
NIGHT WORK in MILLS?
Judge Tillinghast Gives a Hearing
on the Petition for Injunction
!, Against the Earncliffe CO.

Judge Tilllnghast took under con.
sideration "a very interesting and inn
portant question this noon. namely as
to whether, i'm the interest OF landlords
and tenants. he could enjoin cotton
mill from running nights. William l.
whipple and other landlords OF Olney-
VILE in behalf of themselves and ten.
ants filed a bin in equity against Guile
& Waterhouse, proprietors OF the Earn.
cliffe mills, with a prayer for prelimi.
nary injunction TO enjoin the proprie-
tors from operating the mills at night.
There was a hearing on the prayer for
preliminary injunction this forenoon.
A number OF witnesses testified thar
they had occupied tenements near the
Earncliffe mills for years and that IL is
impossible TO sleep at night owing to
the noises made. the worst OF the noise,
being that made by a whistle that was
heard at frequent intervals during the
night. The owners o fthe mill claimed
the right to an enjoyment NJ their
property and their counsel, Walter r.
Angel. maintained that the court could
not properly grant an injunction in
such n case.
stephen A. Cooke. attorney for the
complainants. pointed out the necessity
for preliminary injunction. saying
that there could be no hearing ON the
bill until after vacation and IL was
during the very vacation time that tho
poor people who had 20 work hard al,
DAY would suffer most IL would b.
impossible 10 sleep in the tenements
with the windows down during the
summer months. and the tenants had
testified they could not sleep with
them open owing to- the noises al the
mills. Mr.. Cooke argued that the own
ers of the mills In question could do
as the owners OF other mills operate
them In the day time. The rights OF
the people who had occupied the tene-
ments for years. Judge Cooke argued
should be regarded as well as the rights

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
The M. M. Whitman Refrigerator Estab-
Iishment Destroyed This Morning.

The M. NJ. Whitman refrigerator
factory on Lowell street was complete
iy Quilted by fire this morning about
o'clock, and the origin is a mystery to
Eldon r. Whitman, the owner.
Officer Reardon, who travels on Park
avenue, near Chandler street, rang in
an alarm from box 80 at the corner OF
Dewey and Chandler streets.
Mrs. Snow, who lives in Mr.. Whit
mans house at the corner Of Lowell
and Chandler streets, noticed tie fire
a few minutes before the alarm was
given and ran down stairs and noti-
field the owner. The building Is Il two.
story and half frame, was made short
work of by the flames. When Mir
Whitman got outside his house the
flames had burst through the roof ard
on the inside from the ground floor t.
the top of the building, it lighted VI
the windows with a fierce glow.
Shortly after the alarm, the building
was a mass of flames, and all that
could be done was to save the sur
rounding outbuildlngs.
Inside the building was a large STOCK
of material for refrigerators and store
fixtures, and Mr.. Whitman will prob
ably lose heavily. He carries an insu-
rance of $270O through the agency OF
Edwin L. Eldred & Son. A short time
ago another fire occurred near there
about the same hour, and as far as
Mr.. Whitman knows, there is M rea-
son for this mornings fire. The loss
was about $4,000.

TO FIGHT REBELS.
Maj. Whipple VIII Raise
a Company Of
l25 Men.

Maj. R. A. Whipple of North Adams,
in charge of the second battalion of the
Second Massachusetts, regiment, COM
posed of companies in Greenfield,
Orange, Adams and Northampton, an
nounced his intention yesterday of rails
ing a company of 125 men for Philip
pine service. Veterans of the Second,
Sixth and Ninth Massachusetts regi-
ments will fill the ranks.
Maj. Whipple is well known in this
city, and after the Cuban campaign was
entertained by Maj. H. B. Fairbanks at
the Commonwealth club. During the
recent visit of President Mckinley to
North Adams, it is understood that
Maj Whipple conferred with him rela-
tive to the project, and the matter re-
ceived the presidents sanction. Maj.
Whipple is a firm friend of Hon. w. B.
Plunkett, whom President Mckinley
visited, and it is believed that his inf1u-
ence was used in gaining the president S
consent.
Maj. Whipple is a veteran of the civil
war, about so years old, and is known
among enlisted men of the Second as
q hard fighter and a good disciplinarian.
Maj. Fairbanks was seen by a Spy
man last night relative to the reported
formation of company with Maj
Whipple at the head. He said: Il have
known Maj. Whipple for several years
and his record in the militia is one of
the best that can be accredited any
officer. know of no better man for the
position he will undoubtedly be placed
in. He is a thorough tactician, and if he
has any need of Worcester men, l know
of no officer under whom enlisted men
would rather serve than him.
There does not seem to be much
chance of his calling for Worcester
men, but if he does, recruits for Philip
pine service, especially veterans of the
Second, will support him.

HEBREWS ARE RlLED.
Don't Think 7 hey Ought to Observe Two
SUNDAYS

Hebrew citizens of Worcester are con-
siderably stirred up over the action of
Capt. Matthews of station in bring
ing several members of their race into
court Tuesday morning for violation of
the Lords day by Keeping open shop.
They claim that in doing so the cap
tain is trying to deprive them of their
religious liberty. The police take diff
ferent view of the affair and think that
a Hebrew should be arrested as quickly
for violating the Lords day as any
other man.
The claim is put forth by the He
brews that if they set aside one day as
a Sabbath day they should not be made
to observe two.
1t is the intention of the police, how
ever, to stand by Capt. Matthews close
ly, and if any others are found keep
ing open shop they will also be brought
into court. Judge Utley takes the same
view of the matter as the police and
said Tuesday morning that he would
fine the next person brought before the
court if they violated the law irrespec-
tive of nationality.
