as he was today. with $40 and cost fine
only, to pay.
Rankin had had trouble with Charles
H. Smart, a motorman on one Of the Ge-
neva and wanskuck electrics, and IL had
arisen from a remark Rankin claimed
that Smart had INDUCED In relative to his,
Rankin's. sister.
About III o'clock last Saturday night
and while Smart was operating the motor
of his car. Rankin got aboard, and, slip
ping behind Smart, seized him by the legs
and attempted TO pitch him over the front
'dasher OF the car
Smart was the heavier OF the two and
he had another advantage, and a good
one in that he had a strong grip on the
brake handle and on the shunter of the
motor.
For a few seconds there was lively
struggle I'm which Smart worked 10 save
himself from going over the railing and
under the wheels OF the car, which was
still moving at quite a sharp pace. while,
as Smart asserted. Rankin struggled
equally as hard to dump him of the plat
form.
Eventually Smart threw off Rankin and
later made a complaint TO Town Sergeant
klnnecom, who had Rankin before Judge
Reuckert today on the charge OF assault.
Rankin pleaded guilty and was fined.

MUST BE FORCED.
AS a matter of fact, the only reason is
that the Union Railroad company declines
to issue transfer tickets until II Is abso-
lutely obliged to do so, and, in the opin-
ion of a large majority of the people, the
time to force the company TO recognize
the rights of the citizens has come
AS an instance of the injustice that is
being practiced by the corporation II Is
only necessary to take the case of per-
son who boards car at Olneyville
square and rides to Phillipsdale or Rum
ford. He or she pays five cents for this
ride, although 1t carries the passenger
into an adjoining town quite long dis
tance.
III the same person. however. desires to
go from Olneyville square to. say for in-
stance the junction of Elmwood and Res
ervoir avenues. or even to Trinity square
IL Is a case OF pay two fares or walk, de-
spite the fact that the ride is not long
one.
The same conditions apply To person
riding from Trinity square to Pawtucket,
two fares but from Turks Head to Me-
shanticut Park, quite a distance In the
town OF Cranston, the fare is only Ave
cents.
Quite n large number OF Just such In
stances could be cited, but these are suf-
ficient to demonstrate that there Is no ap-
parent desire upon the part of the street
railway company to accommodate the
public unless compelled to do so.

A PLOT TO
ENTRAP GOLD
DEMOCRATS
Is Discovered in the Democratic
County Committees 1nstruc.
lions How to
VOTE A SCRATCHED TICKET.
Their Scheme to Secure Gold DeIao-
cratic Votes for Bryan.-Tho
Plot Exposed.

The Democratic county committee
has sent out sample ballot, accom-
panying which Is n circular, purport-
Ing to give Instructions how to vote d
scratched ticket. The circular has
been sent to all known Sound Money
Democrats-as we'll as to some men who
are going to vote the Republican ticle-
ct from top to bottom this year--AND
THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE 1NTEN.
'TIONALLY AMBIGUOUS. AND IN
TENDED TO ENTRAP SOUND
MONEY DEMOCRATS AND EU-
CHRE THEM OUT OF THEIR VOTE
FOR MCKINLEY!
As most voters know, the several
tickets are headed with the names Of
the candidates for President and Vice
President, although the voter does not
directly vote for either. In reality he
votes for the presidential electors, and
they, In turn, II successful, vote for
their partys choice for President and
Vice President. -
The milk In this particular cocoanut
is Just this. the words being quoted
from the cute Democratic county com.
mlttee's circular: '.Ic you wish TO
scratch your ticket, erase the name OF
the candidate you do not wish to ,voto
for and write Immediately under It, the
name OF the candidate you do Wish to
vote for"
Sounds quite harmless and altogether
proper, eh!
But there's "nigger In this partIc-
ular woodpile," and 1t Is this: The tu-
tors of Gold Democratic voters hope
that their instructions will be followed
to the letter, and that these voters will
simply erase Bryan's name for McKin-
ley's. Stevenson's for Roosevelt's and
then hand their ballots to the election
ofticers-UNDER THE FOND DELU-
SION THAT THEY ARE GIVING
BRYANISM A DESERVED REBUKE.
But they would do nothing Of the
kind. The substitution of Mckinley
for Bryan and Of Roosevelt for Steven
son counts for nothing whatevar-UNy
LESS IN ADDITION, THE GOLD
DEMOCRATIC VOTER SUBSTL
TUTES FOR THE SIX DEMOCRATIC
ELECTORS THE NAMES OF THE
SIX REPUBLICAN ELECTORS. .UrS-
less this is done the Gold Democrat will
be voting for Bryan and Stevenson,
and this ambiguous circular IS Issued
Just for the purpose Of entrapping Gold
Democrats into supporting Bryan un-
knowingly. VS.
This little thing shows the despera-
ton OF the Bryan Democracy In West
Virginia, for doubtless the same NILS
leading circular Is being put out all
over the state. but not many voters
will be misled, for II Gold Democrats
are anything at all they are intelligent
men.

dead and his brother. William Marks,
will not recover. James Jackson Is not
expected to survive the night. The
miners are all negroes and II the cxplo-

would have been many lives lost. Three

The mines OF Berrysburg have only

comes the explosion.
Colonel B. F. Berry. the millionaire

but refused to discuss the affair,
Most of the miners moved here only q

say that was the very time the fans

Ugly Rumors Are Afloat.
The engineer In charge refuses to
state who this man was. Ugly -umors
