has been considerably damaged by the ice.
The unusually heavy ice In the cove
loosened somewhat and started TO float
out and came against the bridge with
disastrous results TO the latter.

ALMOSI tttOhED.
A peculiar accident happened TO a horse
belonging TO Louis White- The animal
was attached to a road cart was left
standing on Narragahsett avenue and In
some manner the harness became disar-
ranged i'm such II way that IL started the
horse to backing.
He backed until he tripped and fell and
then he lay there until discovered by
Sergeant Bickford, who found that the
IA Ia aN.ah
manner that the horse was slowly but
surely choking to death.
The sergeant loosened the harness and
got the horse upon his feet after which
the harness was put on again. The horse
was not permanently injured by the Incl
dent.
STILL AT TT.
Notwithstanding the fact that A number
OF people are reported TO have been more
or less poisoned by the gas in the clans
taken from the vicinity OF Sabin's point.
many of the clam diggers are still work
ing them from there and the clans arc be-
ing sold I'm goodly quantities.
No more poisoning cases on this account
have been reported and IL is possible that
the gas Is by this time out OF the clans.
II il was not IL Is highly probable that
there would be more OF the cases reported
~ there are a good many OF the clans be-
ing used.
