In the meantime the business communi-

Gratis in Supreme Court.
MANDAMUS WRIT ASKED FOR.
Petitioners Want Recognition as Members
ofths City Committee Court Decides
10 Continue the Hearing.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices TIL
appellate division of the supreme court
some details OF tho disturbance that has
continued for about year in the ranks
OF the Democratic party in Pawtucket.
The matter was before the court on the
petition of James +. Brennan and others
OF Ward Five for a mandamus TO COM
pei the majority OF the Democratic city
committee of Pawtucket TO recognize the
petitioners as members of the city COM
mittee. There is delegation from the
same ward az the petitioners that has
been recognized by the city committee
Dennis j. Holland counsel for the major
ity of the committee argued that the Pc
tition should be dismissed on the ground
that the petition does not state the spe-
cific facts as TO how the caucus was
called and who called IL. the allegations
being merely conclusions or law.
He further said IL was very questiona-
BILE whether the petitioners have such an
interest I'm the matter as would entitle
them to bring an action In their own
names rather than In the name OF the
state. and asked that the petition be
dismissed.
Claude j. Farnsworth argued that the
court could not go ben.nd the certificate
Of the board of aldermen. Mr.. Farms
wore. said quo warranto was not
brought, because quo warranto could
only be brought where the title was dis
puted, and the petitioners title was es-
tablished.
After Mr.. Farnsworth, James II. Bren-
nan argued In behalf OF the petitioners.
The court suggested the title OF the
other FIVE men on the committee from
ward might have to be passed on, and
~ -Inandamus would not be proper at
present.
No decision was announced. as Mr.
Farnsworth wished to submit other au-
thorities TO the court on points involved.

ing him.
Langdons dream was so vivid that he
sprang from the bed IN his sleep. His
wife followed him, terrified, and before
she could reach him he ran down the
hall and fell downstairs, striking his
head on the steps and becoming uncon-
scious.
AS soon as he recovered his senses
Langdon lighted lantern and went TO
the pasture field.
He heard loud groans and finally he
discovered man lying in the corner OF
a rail fence, cut and bruised and unable
to rise. The stranger gave his name as
Thomas Murphy OF Syracuse, and said
that while crossing the field he was at
tackled by a bull and nearly killed.
Langdon took the man to his house

ReSOrting to Wholesale Fabrications in
Order to Bolster Up a Losing Cause.
The Attempt to Use Monissey to
DiSCredit Mr.. Perkins as a Candidate
Fails Of Its Purpose.

IL Is very evident that the Changer
boomers. that small clique of rGlitital
workers for their own ends are occom-
Ing desperate, and are resorting to mali
cious fabrications and equally malicious
innuendoes. I'm the hope of being able by
these equivocal methods. of helping their
private candidate for the mayoralty.
These men, few i'm number, and having
no political power that is recognized eith-
er by the mass of the Republican or
Democratic parties. see now that the
Granger boom is smashed beyond repair
and consequently they are seeking re-
venge by maigning decent citizens who
will not do their bidding. or bend the
knee at their command. Like the scotch
ed snake they are trying to inject all the
venom they can.
NO NOTICE FROM REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans, however, know Just
-rrr-rt-ir-tift-- +A444se-af these self
appointed political boomers amount to-
and are simply taking no notice whatever
OF the tissue OF falsehoods which they
are seeking TO disseminate throughout
the city The Republicans know that
in fact many OF them know whom IL will
be. and they can afford to smile at the
efforts Of the Granger boomers to dis
cover who tho candidate will be.
A ticket Republican I'm It's entirety will
be placed in nomins ton by the city con-
vention, and then the self-appointed nom
inators OF candidates will realize that in
the prevailing language OF the street.
they are "up against IL. good and hard"

to foist candidate on the party, but a
very strong man has been selected. and
he will be the choice of the convention.
DEsPAIRING VAIL.
The puerile and despairing wall OF the
Proyidencc Journal this morning, shows
clearly that the Granger boomers are
ready 90 resort 20 any methods In order
20 do injury to MIR. Perkins, who will be
the nominee OF the Democratic city con-
vention.
These men realize that Mr. Perkins is
becoming stronger every day. and that
nothing that they have said and done
has availed them.
In the piteous wall mention IL made OF
one James Morrissey, a former member
OF the Providence fire department. and IL
is said that Mr.. Morrlssey Stands beside
Mr.. Perkins loyal and steadfast." This
is another of the Journals attempts To
throw discredit upon Mr.. Perkins. an
honorable business man and is just as
false as its other statements.
As n matter of fact, Mr.. Perkins does
not know James Morrissey, and the only
time he saw the man was months ago.
when he called at the Office OF Messrs
Perkins Brothers I'm an endsavor 10 cell
horse. whtrh-vu not purchased
Mr.. Perkins said today: You can en-
phatically state that / do not know
Morrissey, and am not even certain that
the man who wanted TO sell the horse
was Morrissey. although certain per-
sons told me that was the mans name.
