Mr.. Barney also stated that Crescent
Park has been just as bad as II is now

Rev. c. o. Cate of the Roger Williams
Free Baptist church. Providence, one OF
the leading clergymen of the Baptist
denomination In this state. was especially
strong In his denunciation of Crescent
Park.
He expressed his views as follows:
1T is A PLAGUE SPOT.

Crescent Park several times each season
during the past four years. usually on
Sunday.

Rev. Mr. Cate added that he was very
much surprised that the Fall River mis-

crescent Park. with all It's evil infiu-
ences. as a place for their annual ont
ing.
He could not understand their action

The Adams Express Company was
plaintiff in a suit to recover express
charges from Zebedee Paul, local fruit

Mr.. Paul had some berries shipped to

And when they do admit II, In case

WHEEL BROKE.
Locomotive Left the Rails, but
Engineer Shut Off Steam
and Prevented Fatality.

Chicago. July 2s.-The passengers on the
Wabash vestibuled limited train which
left Chicago for ST. Louis yesterday. had
a narrow escape from terrific catastro-
phe near Custer Park, 80 miles south OF
Chicago, at the entrance of the kanka-
kee river bridge, and would doubtlessly
have found watery graves but for the
presence of mind OF Engineer Thomas
Ingram, who sustains fracture of the
leg.
The train was speeding along, when one
of the driving wheels OF the engine
broke. Instantly the engine left the track
and by good fortune, continued pounding
along over the ties. instead OF plunging
down the embankment.
Engineer Ingram shut off steam and APP
piled the air brakes. The momentum.
however, carried the engine along over
the ties TO the entrance of the bridge
Engineer Ingram jumped injuring his
leg. Just as the pilot OF the engine en-
tered the bridge, the engine came TO a
sudden stop. None of the coaches left
the track and beyond a shaking up none
of the passengers was injured.

Charles Ingraham. the well known gro
Ger. at what is called the -four corners"

Mr.. Ingraham told the News reporter
today that he is persuaded that Crescent
Park, as at present run. is a great detri-
ment to the community.
He Is satisfied that there are many
things at Crescent Park that should not
be tolerated.

there in direct violation OF the law.

An Infnlitah1Q Foaf.


The sailors of three men-of-war,
American, French and British, while
in the same harbor, were competing
with each other for the best display of
seamanship. A Yankee went to the
top of the mainmast and stood there
with an arm extended. A Frenchnan
then went aloft and extended both
arms.
An Irishman on board the British
ship thought if he could stand there
with leg and an arm extended he
would be declared the most daring
sailor. Nimbly he mounted to the high
est point and attempted to do so, but
at the last moment lost his balance and
fell through the rigging toward the
deck.
The various ropes against which he
came in contact broke his fall, and
when near the deck he succeeded in
grasping a rope. To this he hung for
a couple Of seconds and then dropped
lightly on the deck, landing safely on
his feet
Folding his arms triumphantly, as if
it were all in the programme, he g1anc-
ed toward the rival ships and joyously
exclaimed:
There, you frog eating and pig stick
ing foreigners, beat that if you CAMP

so it was. He was passionate and
suffering, and he left her-to die. If he
had known, do YOU fancy he would not
infinitely rather have died himself?''
Dick threw his cigar end over the rail
and began to walk tho deck.
"Do you think" went on Dick. pausing
beside her chair, that she didn't do
worse than murder him?''
'Dick. suppose
"Yes?' The girls head stood out
clearly, like a cameo, against the black
ness of the water. The steamer signaled
and curved toward a wharf.
''Suppose that the letter really was one
that she had encouraged another man to
write-one that she couldn't show him -
"We]l? Or course, there are such wo-
men,
'You would despise her?'
"What else?'
but, Dick, suppose that in a peniten-
tial mood I should suddenly confess to
YOU that I am such woman? Suppose
it," she repeated, with a decided little
motion full of grace.
II will not! Why should I?''
because 1 wish it; because it is nee
essary.''
"What?"
"Well, not perhaps necessary, but
best"
Nonsense! I have an abiding faith in
you, my lady, and it is a part of me not
best disturbed.''
'But have letters"
Dick laughed. He lighted cigar.
Across the flare Of the match he looked
at her and started in amazement. She
was pale. her eyes were full. her lips
ruivered and in the flash Of his glance
across the flame she hid her face in her
hands. Dicks match made little streak
of light as it fell through the fast thick
eninS mist and struck the floor. A fog
bell rang out sharply, was answered, and
steamer doomed up beside them. then
vanished swiftly. The girl was sobbing,
and to Dick. listening dazedly, there was
no other sound in the world.
"Show a little mercy" he said at last
in Il shaking whisper. do you know
what you are doing?"

II have taken away the ideal Of your
faith, and in it's stead set 9nly-myself."
"And who are you. them"

moonlight broke through the night and
touched the mist about her like. halo.
