'PAWTUxET.

The Dancing season at Rhodas-on-the-
Pawtuxet closed last night with benefit
hop for the orchestra, which under the
direction OF either Edward or James Fay,
has furnished music 10 the patrons all
season, and IN fact for several seasons.
The many friends OF the musicians
were out I'm force together with large
number who came simply 10 dance, and
the event was a very successful one from
the finance end, though the ball was
rather too full for a thorough enjoyment
OF the light fantastic.
The past season at Rhodes has been
very successful one. and the dances
have on an average been more largely
attended that at any other period of the
resorts history
The new time schedule for the Broad
street cars, which went into effect yes
terday, has had the effect OF bringing
new. though not by any means strange
faces. before the early morning travellers
for many OF the men who generally ran
late cars now are assigned TO early ones
1t Is stated that there are 10 early cars
or rather 10 I'm which the crews get
through their labors early I'm the evening
This was caused by the establishment
OF the system OF a six weeks choose up
which has been In vogue, by which the
ellort uip dhu spare Hen Hdn ior IL tlne
better cars than the regular and old
hands.
Under the present schedule the cars are
run on five minute time from Thurber's
avenue. the greater part OF the day, from
Washington Park from about $50 a. m.
10 $3.50 a. m. and from 4:30 p. m. until
1880 p. m. clear to Pawtuxet.
Some OF the old Broad street cars have
been remodeIled and air brakes and ves-
tibules added ana the whole covered with
coat of green paint. Two have ar
rived and are I'm use on the line. where
they are attracting considerable at
tention.

the Proceedings in L. $. Court.

o. W. OuHIn OF
the Proceedings in L. s. Court.
Considerable amusement and some
little excitement was occasioped in
the United States District Court yes
terday by the actions of one of the
spectators to the proceedings, who hav
ing fallen into the arms of Morpheus,
talked so loud in his sleep that he dis
turbed the proceedings of the court
and attracted the attention of every
one present in the crowded court room.
The unearthly and undistinguishabl
harangue which eminated from the land
of Nod caused every one in the court
room to turn and look in the rear of
the court room There nestld snugy
down, with his shoulders against the
back of the bench, was the cause of
the connection. Though he had tenn
porarily scared from this mundane
WEAKNESS to fit among the clouds of
fancy, there was deep rooted in his
mind the necessity of his attendance
on the court, and it was of this he
spoke.
Jaw I'll be there on time-now let
me alonei" he was saying. He said
much more before the marshal, under
the direction of the court, reached
him, but it was utterly undistinguish-
able. Finally the sound of his voice,
as it grew louder awoke him, shortly
before Marshall Barnes reached him.
The rear seats of the court were filed
with witnesses and the officer had some
difficulty in locating his man. When
the offender was asked if he had
caused the disturbance, he merely rub
bed his eyes, and unmindful of the
merriment and CONSERVATION he had
afforded. discaimed any knowledge of
improper conduct.
He was brought before the court,
those in the court room, as we'll as

know whether he was drunk or had
been overcome by sleep. He gave his
name as S. w. Odam, of Ashburn.

noises with which you have disturbed
the proceedings of the court?" Judge
Speer asked him.
The prisoner explained that he had
come as a witness in the case of r.
S. Suggs, charged with illicit distilling;
that he had Travelled over 200 miles and
had had no sleep in two nights He
said that he had unintentionally fall
en- off to sleep. and while in that con-
dition was disturbed by thoughts of
not reaching the court in time to APP
pear as a witness. He said that he
was given to talking in his sleep, hut
awake. The court excused him, and
he returned to his seat about the
widest awake man in the court room.
