George Smith Chased by Crowd Sunday
Night and Captured.

George Smith, colored, was arrested
on Sunday night on suspicion of having
knowledge of the recent fires of in
cendiary origin. Smith was seen to
enter the cellar of Morey's bar
ber shop on Morris street at II
o'clock by some women in the living
apartments above The colored man
had been seen to enter the place before
and. small blaze was discovered by
Robert Jolly in the cellar one night last
week. Having knowledge of that fact,
when the women saw the man Sunday
night they became frightened and gave
an alarm. Smith was chased by a
crowd to King street where he was
captured and officer Campbell took him
into custody. Justice Cliff sentenced
the prisoner to 30 days.
Smith denies that he was in the cellar
but says he had slept in an alcove be-
side the house. He has lived about
Morristown seemingly with no occupa-
ton for along time. The police are
investigating his record.

On Friday last the will of the late
General George s. Green was admitted
to probate in the surrogates Office here.
The document contains no remarkable
feature, but the part with reference to
the books owned by General Greene is
interesting, and shows in some degree
the value placed on his library.
The will directs that fifteen volumes

set apart in three parcels of five each. ="
One parcel is bequeathed to each of
General Greene's nephews, Albert Row.

preserved by my children and grand
children as memorials of me and my
affection for them.
The testator expresses an earnest de-
sire that his children shall carry to COM
pletion, as best they can. the Greene
Genealogy," which the general had be-
gun, and that all his manuscripts and
genealogical and biographical books
bearing upon the subject be kept to-
gether and preserved until the compile
ton of the work in such manner as will
best serve the purpose. He suggests
that thereafter, if, in the judgment of
his executors, it shall be wise to do SO,
such manuscripts and books shall be de-
posted in the cabinet and library of the
Rhode Island Historical Society at
Providence, to be accessible to General
Greenes descendants and others.
The burial ground at Warwick,
