on Pemberton street, in the Mount Pleas

were being made.
Crosby picked up some of the pieces of
wood that were laying on the ground and
in doing so stepped upon Wyman's land.
The officer, who was in citizens dress or
dered the old man TO drop the piece OF
wood he had picked up and to get off the
premises at once.
Crosby did not recognize Wyman as an
officer and made a somewhat impudent
retort, whereupon Wyman struck him,
knocked him down and then, dragging the
old man to the nearest police signal box,
rang for the patrol wagon and sent Cros-

Very few people realize, perhaps, what
the recent heavy transforms have cost
the city of Providence TO repair the dam
ages done by washouts. particularly in the
Third and Tenth wards.
Secretary Slade OF the department. Of
public works said this morning that des-
pite the fact that big gangs Of men were
put Ia work as soon as the rain ceased.
the work of repairs is not yet completed.
While the pay roll for the present week
was not at hand. Mr.. Slade said that
the expense of repairs TO the highways.
owing 90 washouts, last week amounted 10
5000. and he further said that fully as
much work had been done this week.
lie approximated that before the work
was fully completed the expense would
exceed $500. and II is for this reason that
the public works department does not
want 20 sec any more heavy transforms
this year.

OF the manufacturers and at noon and
during the morning several mills posted
notices granting TO their operatives the
full ten per cent increase in wages asked
for.
Among those known at this hour to have
posted such notices are the Flint, Shove
and Chase mills and there are rumors OF
many other mills conceding the full adj
vance.
There is an impression prevailing this
afternoon that most If not all mills will
give operatives the full advance on Mon
day and that the strike proposed will
therefore be cut short.
FIRST TO GIVE IN.
Agent Rounseville of the Shove mill and
Agent Baker OF the Chase mills were
both regarded as very much opposed To
granting ten per cent advance, yet they
are the first to give IN. Other agents
seen this noon declined to express any
opinion as TO what effect this would have
I'm their cases but IL was apparent that
they believe they will have TO submit to
the inevitable.
The announcement that these three
mills have conceded the advance asked
for Is cause Tor rejoicing. There is no
question but what the operatives would
have started in on Monday morning on
one of the worst strikes In the experience
of this city If the 10 per cent advance had
been denied them They were prepared
for n long and bitter struggle and they
were ready to so into the fight Now
