EAST PROVIDENCE.

Some day the merchants of watchemo-
ket square will wake up to the fact that
a hose reel or some other piece of fire
apparatus should be located in the square
10 be used in case of emergency as was
demonstrated this forenoon when an
alarm was sent I'm from box 73 and had
there been a hose reel handy the
damage instead OF being nearly $1,000
could have been cut down at least one
half.
Mrs d. NJ Dwight, who lives I'm the lit
tie cottage just east OF the Ray block.
adjusted her three burner oil stove as she
supposed was proper to bake beans for
the evening meal and then went into the
yard in the rear of the cottage, and took
possession OF an old arm chair thinking
that she would Ia e life easy for few
minutes. She had been seated but few
moments, when she came TO the conclu-
sion that she had forgotten something
and made an attempt to enter the cot
tage, but she found the entry filled with
smoke. She then ran 10 the street and
gave the alarm. The fremen responded
promptly, but owing TO the fact that
they had some distance to run, the fire
had gained considerable headway, but the
-Afen,at- succeeded in confining the blaze
TO the kitchen en-, of the cottage The
damaged portion OF the building other
than the outside will have TO be re-
built and the damage 10 the same, and
the contents will reach 5000 The con-
tents were not insured, and Mrs.
Lydia Dunnell, the owner, is at Block
island for the summer IL could not be
learned whether the cottage was insured
or not.
There was a happy gathering at the

what some would call a clambake was

title of clambake was out OF order. There
was nothing missing from the bake or
sideboard to make the event what IL
should be for there are none who are
more adept I'm the art OF entertaining
than Mr. Bates. Among those present

Another short but heavy downpour of
rain necesstated the postponement OF the
last game of the present series with
Rochester at Adelaide park yesterday af-
tcrnoon and caused great disappointment
among the large crowd OF spectators who
were dcsirous OF seeing Providence make
IL three straight Shortly after the last
half OF the second inning had started the

ued for nearly thirty minutes and when IL

and caught the ball ere il reached the
ground, retiring the side and making one
OF the prettiest plays OF the season.
Providence could do nothing In the first

NO TRUTH IN REPORT
Said That the p. II. r Wanted Part of
Old Swedes Churchyard

Tor some time past there has been
a umcs current that the Pennsylvania
railroad wanted TO buy strip on Of
the soriherly end oi Old Swedrs
churchyard for the purpose Of PARTIALLY
Strengthening the curve az thar loht
when ;he l. read is built
It was also said that IN addition tc
The prise crered fer thA ground. tnht

of lan3 cE the easterly end OF the
yard aud Presenting q 30 the church in
order tha; the bodies that you'll have
ITO be exhu~ ed when W VI. was COM
menced could be reinterred in the new
ground.
When spoken 10 on the subject this
morning, Dr. Martin B. Dunlap rector
of the church, said that. as far as he
knew there was no truth in the re-
port. and to the best of his knowledge
no such proposition had been made by
the company to the vestry. In fact he
was positive that none had been made.
Some years ago the railroad did par
chase a portion OF the cemetery, pay
ing between $4,000 and $1,000 for the
ground. but since that time no further
overtures had been made.
Recently about $1,000 have been
spent in repairing the graveyard, and
it has now been placed in excellent
condition.

WILL OPERATE AUTO LINE
Horseless Vehicles TO he Run Shortly
Throughout the City

In a short time 30 Is said that a new
automobile line Will be established IN
Wilmington, which viii be operated in
many of the principal streets OF the
city.
Captain Horace Wilson. manager OF
the Wilmington Steamboat Company,
Is said 10 be ut the head of the enter
prise, and negotiations are now under
way for the erection of the vehicles
with several large manufacturers. The
plans OF the new company have not yet
been completed, but the first step will
be In the direction of running an auto
mobile omnibus from the wharf OF the
Wilmington Steamboat Company to
Fourth and Market streets.
The steamboat company owns about
three acres Of ground at the foot of
Fourth street, on which viii be erected
a building for storing the autos.
After the Fourth street line Is In
operation, u is probable that the route
will be extended throughout the city,
and to the various railroad stations.

Yes. 1t is true that the majority Of
