best OF the year at the theatres, and at
both performancesAnsster all the To-
cal houses were crowded to the doors,

All seats were sold everywhere far IN
advance and standing room was packed
long before the curtain went up.
At the Providence opera house the
Empire and the Imperial the orchestras
were placed upon the stage.
Manager Spitz of the Empire said the
day was the best since the theatre was
opened, and at the Imperial Manager
Dilienback said not only was the audience
a record breaker, but that not another
person could find place 10 put his foot
at both performances. All seats were
sold or Wednesday.
Seven times during the day IL was nee
essary 10 stop selling tickets at Keith's,

BARGES
DELAYED
IN SOUND
No Arrival Of Coal Craft Today
but Several CargOes Are Ex-
peCtod First Of Coming Week

There Is practically no change in the
coal situation today. There were no ar
rivals OF cargoes yesterday or today. and
though a number OF cargoes are coming
towards Providence they are tied up In
the Sound or elsewhere by the thick and
rough weather that has prevailed for the
past few days
The John r.. White q Son have now
four barges. which are laden with about
25O0 tons OF hard coal. somewhere be-
tween New York and New London. There
are two tows and they have been expect
ed here for the past four days, but where
they are now IL something uncertain.
The Eastern Coal Co. has one barge
with about 400 tors OF anthracite coal
coming from New York. and this barge
may arrive tomorrow or Sunday. There Is
also barge coming from Newport News.
but this is soft coal. The prices remain
the same as they have for the past few
days and freight rates seem inclined to
go higher. though no increases have been
noted.
None OF the coal companies are dealing
with the future To any extent They will
sell coal when they have it, but will not
take orders in advance for coal which IL
coming this way. and so the general in
clnation is 10 defer all orders until the
coal is actually I'm hand. There Is soft
coal to be had. but the general demand
Is for anthracite.

Plymouth. Mass, Nov. 2s.-Before the
"tar and feather" case was resumed here
today after the Thanksgiving day recess
II was learned that the newspaper man
who was wanted as a witness. burt whose
name the prosecution previously had been
unable to learn was VIM. o. Devoll, Jr. a
reporter for the New Bedford Standard.
Deputy Sheriff Hurley in testifying on
Tuesday said that New Bedford re-
porter was with him when he visited the
sand pit In which James Mcdonald claims
10 have been tarTed and feathered and
when the deputy saw the ground covered
with a mixture o ftar and feathers and
found a tar brush. piece OF undershirt
and a necktie.
Mr.. Devoll was in court today but he
would disclose no facts. In spite OF a pre-
vailing rumor that interesting develop
ments were likely TO be brought out to-
day, the number OF spectators present
when court opened today was the small
esr OF any day since the trial began.

reference TO Sylvia's being at his stable
after he had helped Hayden harness his
horse and go 10 his own house which was
opposite the stable. Mr.. Hitler said that

The cross examina ton OF Mr. Hitler was
pointed, particularly with reference TO
his having been at the stable on that par
tcular evening contrary TO his usual GUS

case. He replied that he did not recall
having been around seeing witnesses.

Committee Appointed to Wait on w. F.
 Fulton on His Arrival.

The desire for a nine hour day by the Waterbury machinists is still on tho go. And judging by the enthusi- astic attitude of the men at the usual Sunday morning meeting yesterday there is no appearance of any lack of vitality i'll the movement. The ar- rival of W. E. Fulton in Waterbury will be heralded by the optimistic ele- ment as q sign that something will shortly be done in the desired direc- tion. A committee was selected to wait upon MT Fulton after reason able time had elapsed, and as most of the machine shops state they are willing to do the same as the Farrel foundry the bulk of the interest ap- pears to be centered with that firm.
 A very interesting meeting was held on Sunday morning and consider able harmony was in evidence among the men and satisfaction was ex- pressed at the action taken by the va- rious committees. A healthy con- servative spirit manifested is the an ticipation of MT Fulton's early arriva' in Waterbury, when it is hoped that the representative committees will, through an interview with that gentle man, arrive at q satisfactory conc1u- sion of the whole matter

Russian Prince Object of Peasants
 Hatred.
 ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.-A re- port has reached here of an attempt to assassinate Prince Obolensky, governor of the government of Kharhoy, who was commended by the czar for sup pressing the rioting among the peas ants of that district.
 Lieutenant General von Wahl, gov ernor of Wilma, whose assassination was recently attempted on account of his wholesale fiogging of political pris- Oners, many of whom were educated and who, according to custom, were therefore exempt from fogging, justi- fies these punishments on the ground that he was ordered to infiict them by M. von Plehwe, the minister of the in terior.
 Peasant political prisoners have also been whipped at Bielostock and other Polish towns.
 Eighty persons who were arrested for taking part in revolutionary dis turbances at Saratov were confined in a private building there A number of rioters concentrated in the vicinity of this building, contemplating a release. The rioters were charged several times by the troops before they dispersed. and the liberation of the prisoners was thus prevented.
 Armed with daggers and sticks, the townspeople of Ghirzel in the Cauca- sus, have liberated score of prisoners who claimed they were innocent.

 Well Known Nurse Down With Small
 pox and Taken to Pest House.
 Hartford, May 26.-Just as the board of health had congratulated it. self that it's efforts had resulted in stamping out smallpox in the city, an other case has developed and was ta- ken to the pest house yesterday The victim of the disease is Miss Isabella M. J. McCrimmon, one of the mem bers of the Hartford Club for Gradu- ate Nurses, who occupy the house No 50 Buckingham street, formerly the Center church parsonage. Miss Me Crimmon has been under the close sur veillance of two Hartford physicians for several days. She had the pre- monitory symptoms of chickenpox, but yesterday the doctors determined that it was smallpox and reported the case to the board of health.
 Dr Charles $. Stern, one of the med ical inspectors of the board of health, made an examination of the patient and quickly confirmed the other phy- sicians' diagnosis. Then it was the work of but few moments for Pres ident Edward MahI of the board to get a detail of two policemen to guard the house. Miss McCrimmon's case is we'll developed and she was taken to the pest house at 2.30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, John Horrigan, an immune, driving the wagon. One of the nurses from the same house vol untarily accompanied the patient, a case of commendable seIf-sacrifice, so that the unfortunate patient will have the best of care under the direction of Dr Heman A. Tyler, Jr, who has been attending Theobald, the Hi Hen ry minstrel, now recovering. All the inmates of the Buckingham street house were immediately vaccinated the house was fumig2ted from cellar to garret.

He was plucky fellow and stuck to his post in the collision like man who felt that it was his duty to stand at the throttle, no matter what became of him. He was well known about town and had many warm friends here. For time he conducted a res taurant on East Main street where Jacobs pawn shop is now located and was making it pay, but he got tired of the business and sold out to E. l.. Bolster.

 Death.

William Shea of Fuller street, aged 21 years, met with an accident early Sunday morning which resulted in his death last night. He was working for q farmer named Norton near the Vol colt fair grounds. The men have been up nights for some time past watching for whatever was stealing chickens from the coop. Norton sat up until about 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning when he was relieved by Shea. Short ly after going on guard Shea discover ed a mink coming towards the coop and fired at it. He hit the animal, but did not kill it outright. He struck it with the butt end of the gun and in so doing the gun went off, and the charge of shot entered Shea's abdomen. He succeeded in working his way over to the house apd alarming the inmates.
