The riot at Brown University occas-
ioned by the determination of the stud
ents not to permit the fire department
10 extinguish their bonfires lighted in
honor of Browns defeat Of Princeton,
has taken a serious turn. The corpora
tion sent a messenger to the City Hall
late yesterday afternoon with the infOr-
nation that it would pay for all dam
ages done To the fire apparatus, includ-
ing the item of 1852 for hose cut and

This has rather sobered the students,
for they know that an investigation is
TO be made by the police as well as by
the faculty and that severe punishment
is to be meted out to the ringleaders.

MOLDERS STRIKE.
No Settlement Reached by The kTbl-
tTatiOn Committee.
Adjourned for Two Wesks-A Change In
the Situation at Worcester.

After two days session in this city
OF the arbitration committee of the
Iron Molders Union of North America
and the National Founders Association
the conference last evening adjourned
for two weeks, with the veXed question
unsettled. This announcement was
made last night by the officials. This
conference considered both the Provi-
dence and the Worcester case. 1t was
announced as harmonious, and the
whole matter involved was gone over.
In the mean time the moiders IN the
shops under consideration Will contin-
ue at work, pending arbitration.
Vice President Valentine OF the Mold
ers' Union said. right after the adj
journment. that the meeting was
very harmonious one. and remarked:
80 many points were ra sed that we
concluded we would have TO wait. and
i'm the meantime are going 10 make ev-
cry effort 10 come 10 an understanding.
We neither agreed nor disagreed. We
discussed matters in general. Really,
IL has taken so much time To consider
matters i'm general that it is hardly
possibly at the same time TO come 10
a definite question. 1t Is a pretty large
subject" Vice President Valentine will
probably remain i'm the city until to-
night i'm order to address the special
meeting of the molders which has been
called TO consider the result OF the con-
ference.
There was a decided change i'm the
situation OF the molders' strike in w
cester. yesterday, Wnen there was

TowNslTE COMMISSIONERS HERE
All Pleasant Gentle men-- --They are Form

All Pleasant Gentle men-- They are FERN.
ind AcquaIntances Of Our People.
Col. Samuel n. johnson, chair
man of the Chickasaw townslte ap-
praising board, and the secretary
Hon. Yves. B. Burney, arrived here
last night and have established
headquarters on the second floor of
of the Wheeler building. All the
attaches of the commission ex-
cept the craftsman, who is expect
ed here today, are in the city. Their
Office furniture, books, etc., have
not arrived from Colbert yet, and,
during the time they are in transit,
Mr.. Burney will devote his time
toward acqaainting Mr.. johnson
with the people and surroundings
of his home town.
When asked this morning about
what time they would begin the
survey of the town they replied by
saying that their fixtures had not
yet come and that they would be
delayed day or two. They, how
ever did not look upon it as a de-
lay, for Mr.. johnson said: i
never begin until every detail is
in readiness and then the plating
will not be hampered." You will
be surprised" he continued, at
the short time required to survey
and plat your town"
Mr.. Burney, of course, was pleas
ed to be with his family and was
cheerfully shaking hands with
friends this morning.
Mr.. johnson was delighted with
our town and spoke encouragingly
of our business prospects. When
informed that some of our people
had begun to erect buildings on
vacant lots Mr.. johnson said he
would be glad to see our population
double within a day.
The commission have shown a
disposition far from being arbi-
81 =.
have come in contact with almost
every business man. and have
sought a conference with Mayor w
T Gardner, with whom they will
confer this evening.
The opinion prevails that Mon
day will be the day set for the be-
ginning of the survey.

A Correction.

Some time since, a suggestion
was made in these columns that as
the trustees of the public school
were experiencing trouble in find
ing suitable quarters for the public
school, a section of the buildings of
HargrOve college might be rented to
the said trustees for the use of the
free school This was only a sug
gestion of the editor, but 1t seems
that many got the impression that
such an arrangement had been
made.
A little reflection will reveal
many objections to a combination
of this kind. In fact two separate
schools under different management
and subject to different authority
and control could rot work har-
moniously and successfully under
the same roof.
There will be no union of any
KIND, except that among the fac
ulty, students and patrons to make
the approaching term the most
prosperous and satisfactory in the
history of the school.
