many arrests.
OF whom were on duty Thursday Thurs
day night, yesterday and last night, with
but little time for meals and but few
hours for rest But the officers were sue
csssful in preventing lawlessness. and the
absence OF the cars OF the Pawtucket
Street Railway company on Thursday
night and last night no doubt prevented
much trouble. The cars OF the Pawtucket
and Providence lines were pretty well
peppered with stones Thursday night, and
IL was necessary TO withdraw the service
on these lines In the city late Thursday
evening.
The cars were run regularly yesterday,
however. and there was not a great deal
OF trouble encountered There were In
stances OF stone throwing about the city.

route during Thursday night
Switch tongues at Broad and Foundry
streets. Central Falls, were bent out OF
shape yesterday morning so that II was
impossible for cars to run over them.
and for this reason the cars OF the Broad
street lines went no further than Foun-
dry street. Both tongues were badly
bent and twisted They will have TO
be removed to be repaired. The switch
tongues on Lonsdale avenue, near the
Mosshassuck cemetery. were also bent
and twisted yesterday morning, and no
cars on the Lonsdale avenue line were
run further than this switch.
The cars OF the Pawtucket Railway
company were not run TO Cumberland
yesterday because Of the track being Inn
passible at Central Falls, but had this
not been the case II would have been
impossible TO pass the switch just north
OF the Valley Falls crossing. The north
switch tongue was stolen early yester-
day morning and the south tongue was
bent badly and Ia would be impossible
for car 10 pass.

NO RECEIVER.
Court Declines TO Appoint One
in the Spencer Case.

There was hearing In Judge Douglas'
court today on the complainants peti-
tion for the appointment OF a receiver
and for temporary injunction in the
equity cause OF Lincoln Dyer Spencer OF
Washington. against Edward Prince Spen-
GER. who is executor of the last will and
testament OF Obediah Brown Spencer. The
complainant Is a nephew OF the estator
complainant is a nephew OF the restator
Ii appeared by the bill that some years
ago the nephew and the deceased had
some correspondence, and as result
there was contract entered into by
which the complainant was to do GER
tain things and in consideration OF his
so doing Obedah Brown Spencer was to
leave him all his property, save $500 The
nephew further claims that the most valu-
able part of his uncle's estate Is a treas
ury business carried on In Warwick. Com
plainant says he came on from the state
of Washington In 1894 with his father
TO establish this business and that II cost
him TO become acquainted with the busi-
ness and for his trip across the conti-
nent about $1,000.
II seems that after this contract was
entered into. the deceased uncle made two
wills. One OF these has been admitted to
probate In the probate court OF Warwick,
but the complainant has taken an appeal.
He claims that the contract prevented the
making OF any will on the uncles part that
would deprive him, the complainant, OF
all of the estate, save 5000 There was
an understanding that the property should
be kept by the nephew long I'm the
name OF Spencer was possible. The
deceased was so years old when the con-
tract was made. w. II. p. Bowen repre-
sented the complainant. Mr. Bowen
thought there should be a receiver because
the executor had threatened 10 sell the
teaming business. He did not press for an
Injunction.
w. B. W. Hallett. counsel for the re-
spondent said that there was no consider
alton for the contract and that the Wasn-
ington man was the only one who object
ed TO the sale or TO the will. Mr.. Hallett
said no bond had been given. but the ex-
ecutor was willing TO give a bond in
any amount and that he. as counsel,
would enter into stipulation. that the
property would be kept intact until there
was a full hearing Of the case.
In view OF this agreement Judge Doug
las deemed II unnecessary to appoint .
receiver.

one portion of the ceiling was made
lower than another. the beef. by gravi-

that there had been a collision of two
trains OF freight cars on the tracks
west OF the building. the main floor and
it's contents dropped into the canal.
On top OF this wreck dropped the big
box with its $50 tons Of ice and, on top

insofar as the giving Of free concerts
is concerned, and in that respect would
certainly be an injustice to the other
bands of the city
The different bands of the city have
all recently given free Sunday concerts
In the Grand Opera house, for the
benefit of the poor fund; they have all
cheerfully co-operated in this work,
and the concerts have been well pat
ronized by the public and consider
able amount has been added to the
poor fund Why then, should the
public and business men Of Akron,
when the question of free concerts
during the summer is before them,
give all their support to one organi-
zation and ignore all of the others?
We therefore ask our friends and the
public In general to give this matter
careful consldera ton and we believe
that they will agree with us that it
would be unjust to give all their sup
port to one band and ignore others
Just as worthy.
