Fog Intsfered With the Operations Of
the Fishermen.
Accident to a Wagon Delays Traffic
on The Bridge--0ih0r Notes.

Last night was another extremely fog
gy one and business on the water was
practically at a standstill. The fishermen
who are in the habit OF going out after
cells did not go out. as the fog was so
thick that nothing could be seen a boats
length away. The lights on Red bridge
could be barely discerned from Wash
ington bridge, while the outlines OF the
bridge were not dstinguishable.
The rigging of vessels at the docks
did not show two rods away and IL was
hard work to see the freight trains NOV
ing on the tracks near the water front.
The puff OF the locomotive and the flash
OF lanterns were all that showed their
presence.
TRAVEL DELAYED.
A heavily laden express wagon became
disabled on Washington bridge at 6
O'Clock last night and for quarter OF an
hour traffic was seriously blocked, no
west bound cars being able TO pass the
scene of the accident.
Horace Thompkln's, of this town fur
nished another wagon to take the place
"
of the bridge by a wrecker after which
the load was transferred from one wagon
TO the other
MR.. BLISS RETIRES.
Judge Bliss will retire from the office
OF superintendent of schools at. the expi-
ration of the present school year. This

cording to his Interpretation requires the
entire time Of the incumbent of the Of
flee.
Mr. Bliss has held the position most

work and requirements OF the Office and
has had an enviable reputation as an ed
ucator.

A NEW CLUB.
The following circular Is being quite
freely read by the young men Of the
town
To the Younger Republican Voters of the
Town of East Providence:
There will be held In the district court
avenue on Monday. June Is. A. d. 1903. at
o'clock p. m, meeting for the purpose
OF organizing Young Mems Republican
club. TO be composed of the younger vot-
ers OF the Republican party in East
Providence.
There is n general recognition among
the members of the Republican party
that there is a lack of that organization
which Is so necessary to the carrying on
OF an effective campaign against our
now vigorous opponents:
hearty sanction OF the Republican town
committee. and is in line with the ex-
press wishes OF our state central com
mittee.
You are therefore urged to lend your
presence and assistance TO this new ven
ture, and also bring with you to the
meeting others alike Interested.
RECKLESS RIDING.
There was an unusually large number
Of automobiles run across Watchemoket
square during the early part or last
evening. Those in charge of the greater
part OF them ran at speed apparently
above the legal limit. regardless of dan
ger to life and limb of pedestrians.
The practice OF running these vehicles
at reckless speed through the square
long since became a nuisance, as we'll as
menace to public safety. IL is often
the case that no warning is given OF the
a5proach Of the autos; either by bell or
not injured is simply the result OF good
luck.
REGISTRATION.
Monday evening Town Clerk Smythe
will be at Grange hall with the registra-
tion books to give the voters OF that To-
cality opportunity to register. AS In
other portions OF the town the people In
this district. which is included in No. 5
under the new arrangement are taking
more than n casual interest in things po-
litical.
