AN ACCIDENT. -
Charles l.. Woodice OF Providence was
the victim OF a peculiar accident on Paw
tucket avenue last night. He was driving
up that thoroughfare in a light express
wagon when he was overhauled by an
other outfit headed in the same way. The
second outfit was being driven at reck-
less speed and as It swung out to go by,
~ collided with the rig OF Mr. Woodice,
throwing him out and overturning tho
wagon on top OF him in such a manner
as TO conflne him beneath the body of IL.
The driver through whose fault the ao-
cident occurred did not stop to learn the
extent OF the damage occasioned by his.
reckless speed, but whipped up his horse
and made his escape. After considerable
effort Mr. Woodice managed to force
himself from the debris When he pulled
himself together and took account Of
stock He learned that one OF the shafts
OF the wagon had been broken and some
Of the paint on the wagon scraped or.
Beyond this no damage was done. The,
street, at the point where the accident
occurred Is very dark and an electric,
car which came along came very near
demolishing the wagon. which was par
TALLY on the tracks. The motorman saw
the wagon and slowed up just in time to
avoid serious accident The car struck
one corner OF the wagon with Just force
enough toApush IL out OF the way.

REGISTRATION. 49,.
Last night the registration books were
closed and those who did not register will
find themselves dssfranchiscd at the next
election. The registration. which had
been expected to eclipse that OF last year
to the tune of several hundred. did not
attain tho proportions anticipated, how
ever. in spite of the unremitting efforts
of both parties 20 get every man to reg
fster. When the books closed 7. 564 voters
had signed their names, thus qualifying
themselves TO participate in the fall cleo
tions. This Is just 30 in excess OF the
number enrolled last year There are
probably enough who did not register TO
swell the total up 10 at least 1s50 had
they placed their names on the books
At one time the registration was over
200 ahead OF a corresponding time lasta
year, but they did not hold up to this
standard. Had It not been for the per-
sistent efforts OF both parties and the
easily discernibe infunece OF the Young
Mems Republican club there would have
been a much lighter registration, not
withstanding the unusual interest In
politics at this season OF the year.
