Talking with Haggagemastcr Plant or
! the Suburban trolley line yesterday I
learned something as peculiar as IT is
interesting. Mr.. Plant told me that he
WAS baggagemaster on the ''big car
that coIhjed with the Riverpofnt car
near Warwick station Sunday. June 10.
when lives were lost and several people
were seriously injured. among the latter
being Lieut.. Gov. kimbail, Plant was
sitting on the seat of the baggage car
directly back OF Motorman Hanlon
when the crash came. Fortunately the
door leading into the passenger apart
made his escape. The significant part
OF this Information lies I'M Mr.. Plants
statement to me that. Notwithstanding
that Coroner Carpenter Is having diff
Guilty i'm finding witnesses TO summon
10 the inquest in the Warwick Town
hall. Mr.. Plant has not been requested
to tell what he knows.
Judging from the preparations made
at Rocky Point today for the entertain
ment of the commercial travellers OF
Rhode Island, am inclined ito think
that there will be a very hot time in the
old town Of Warwick. Friend Hines
told me that they were out for a good
time. and IL Col Harrington has his
way they are bound TO have ".
notice that John ID. Brindamour OF
woonsocket accompanies the Rhode ISL
and Democratic delegation to Kansas
City. as one of the sergeants- s-at-arms
of the convention. Mr.. Brindamour Is
the man who removes all sorts of hand
cuffs without the use of a key. IL is
hardly possible. however. that his pc
cular talents can have had anything
TO do with his selection as an officer OF
the delegation.
United States Deputy Marshal Stone
has only recently assumed the duties
of his office, but he has already ac-
quired the esteem and respect of all the
attaches of the office. 1 knew Dick
Stone 20 years ago when he was
faithful day patrolman on Westmin-
ster street. / transacted more or less
business with him while he was assist
ant superintendent at the state insti-
tutions, and followed his career as
valuable Official OF the New York, New |
Haven and Hartford railroad, and he |
has always been the same. polite, oblig-
ing and modest. and he is bound to |
make many warm friends in his new
position.
l know a certain employe OF the city |
Of Providence, who has his Office at
city Hall, that never rides wheel and
was never known to play golf, and yet
during the summer he invariably wears
a suit that is combination of the
golfer and the cyclist garb. ! asked
him today what he did II for, and he
said: "Well, you see I can go about
everywhere with this suit on. and no.
II. 1t cost me $40. and | figure that 1.
am saving money"
Jack" Henshaw thinks he will buy
his fish henceforth, figuring that II will
be cheaper. on Thursday he went to
hired boat and went out
to lure gamey squiteague from his lair.
He succeeded in catching two fishes,
but he lost an anchor one Of the oars
Of the boat fioated away when he
reached the shore, he dropped two
dollar bill out of his packet. failed to
make connection with his train for the
city and was drenched TO the skin by
the heavy downpour. Jack" allows
that he will let some other fellow do
the fishing for the balance of the sea-
son.
l see that the new dean of Pembroke
hall is to be lady, which by the way,
Is eminently proper. But trembe for
the poor male students OF Brown when
the studies are resumed. The fair CO.
eds have always looked upon the males
with more or less scorn, and now mat
tsrs promise TO be still worse. If the
Brown men know what is good for them
