on the street He was recognized as the
same man. His wife stated her husband
told her he had been struck the day be-
fore by a street car. No statement could
be gotten from the man because he was
I'm an unconscious condition.
When the autopsy was held IL was
found that he died OF chronic tubercu-
losIs and bronchial pneumonia
In substantiation OF the statement made

NOTES FROM THE HARB0R.

Though no sailing vessel was reported
I'D to noon the arrival and sailing were
both heavier than common today as
large number OF barges were entered ana
cleared.
From Block Island the news is received
that the inner basin is badly crowded
with ice, so that few craft that found
their way out did so only with great dn-
nculty. Yesterday several or the boats
only reached the outer basin by dark and
had TO stay there till today before going
70 the fishing grounds.
The statement that there was ten
dency among the oyster growers to leave
no bay seems hardly borne out by the
new list OF applications for oyster ground
the amounts OF which are as follows
30 acres at Seaconnet three acres a.
Morrow river, two three-acre sections a
Brightman's pond, so acres near Hos
island, 10 acres at Nayatt and six acres
near Patience.
