RumoTsd 0lscontlnuancs Of WaHsn-Swanssa
EIacthcs Not Probable.

The recently announced project for the
discontinuance OF the trolley service on
the Warren and swansea branch OF the
Providence and Fall River Street Rail-
way company has occasioned so much un-
favorable comment that the matter has
been fully discussed. the difficulties rene
died and a new lease OF life virtually
awarded 20 the line
The trend OF affairs toward the aban-
donment OF the line was brought 90 a cli-
max by the accident Of July n. In which
Mrs. Betsey r.. Sherman was fatally in
jured. The Warren town council issued
an order restricting the speed on the line
within It's jurisdiction TO such an extent
as 10 destroy the schedule connections
with the Bristol cars on the Suburban
line nv doing this the efficiency Of the
road was fatally impaired.
At special meeting of the town coun-
eli held Tuesday evening the officials OF
tho Rhode Island company and the ProVl-
denCe and Fail River Street Railway
company met and after considerable dis
cuSsiOn drew up an ordinance by which
the question of speed and schedule ar
rangements were satisfactorily adjusted.
The ordinance was unanimously favored
by ne Warren councilmen.
n has been forwarded for approval to
r T.. Freeman. railroad commissioner.
and N is confidently expected that the
matter is cleared up and that the line will
continue In operation.

"SKEE1ERS" VISIT THIS CITY
Some 2N0,O0O,OOO Of the Jersey Variety,
En- Route for Encampmsnt, Get OF Here.

There is an ever increasing belief in
this city that Providence Is In the, not

OF formidable host OF Mosquitoes
Up to the present time the meddlesome
"ekeeters'' have given this burg the 60

ing that serve so well TO keep the blood
supply down To a normal condition.
There has been. OF course considerable
slapping or necks. wrists and ankles and
recourse 10 kerosene, creosote iodoform,
assafoetida or whatever else the crafty
drug store men use in the construction OF
the various smelly liquids warranted TO
keep all mosquitoes at a safe distance,
as we'll as all other creatures with any
discrimination as 10 odors.
There is CONSERVATION and dismay over
the sudden arrival of winged pests and in
the neighborhood OF swampy places here
abouts excitement has waxed fast and
furious for the past few evenings
The new comers are able bodied insects,
we'll drilled in the tactics OF assault and
exasperatingly clever in the matter OF re-
treating. Their weapons are well ordered
and so far reports go 70 show the Provi-
dence people are top notchers for biting
purposes.
only one explanat tion seems at all rea-
sonable at present. and that is that the
"skeeters' down I'm Jersey were put wise
to the fact OF the great crowds present at
Boston this week and hurriedly got up
million regiments, musicians and armed
biters (Which is the same as hghters).
to make things hum and also cuss and
scratch up at the Hub. The main high
way from Jersey swamps 10 Boston com
mon leads across this city. and so the
wicked ''buzzy bugs" were given

That glimpse was evidently enough and
the grand commander OF the Jersey army

opportunities. They buzZed about. sing

blood OF as many Of their listeners as
they could covertly attack. and then
sucking II through a straw as girls tackle

Al last accounts the army had not

BLOW that
KILLED HIM

New York. Aug 1s.-Coroner Schaffer OF
Richmond Borough has a new mystery TO
unraveI in the death OF william Pinker-
ton, which occurred I'm the saloon of Will
liam y. Bowling at West Brighton.
1t had been supposed that Pinkerton
died from a fractured skull, but DR.. Mard
discovered at the autopsy Tuesday that
the man had been twice stabbed TO the
heart with a penknfe or a pair OF small
shears. There was a third thrust that
failed to reach the heart
On hearing of the stab wounds the po-
ice arrested MARY DE Karagi, who had
been Dowling's housekeeper since he sep
arsted from his wife and who also acted
frequently as barmaid I'm his saloon.
Bowling from the start admitted that
during a tight he hit Pinkerton on the
head with "A piece OF lead pipe. but in
sisted that the blow was not hard enough
20 do serious harm. There are conflicting
stories afioat as 10 the occurrences I'm the
saloon.
Pinkerton. who was interested I'm the
American Handkerchief works I'm the
neighborhood was an intimate friend or
Bowling and for some months during his
wife's absence in Ireland, had been much
Monday evening Dowling had been
drinking some. Pinkerton entered his
palce and had a violent dispute with Mary
Karagi over the service OF some ale. Dow
ling entered while they were quarrellinG
and the woman told him that Pinkerton
had insulted her by calling her names.
Dowlng and Pinkerton at once got into
a hght with no one else present but the
woman. so far az known.
Bowling says he finally caught Pinker-
ton against a table. threw him partly
backward and then. holding his head back
with one hand. grabbed the lead pipe
from the table and used II. Pinkerton be-
came limp and in a few minutes was
dead
Dowling was committed yesterday in de-
fault OF $4,000 bail on a charge OF homi-
eide. When the stab wounds were found
and the woman arrested she was held in
$500 bail as witness. The reason these
wounds were not found earlier Is that the
bleeding was entirely internal.
Police Captain Hogan last night ad-
mitted that as vet there was nothing to
chow that the woman took any part In
the fight
Police Captain Hogan. after a personal
investigation. said he was confident IL was
Downing who used the knife. and that the
woman knew nothing OF It's use. A small
knife was found on Bowling when he was
arrested. and this is now I'm the hands OF
the police.

Mount Vernon. n. Y, Aug. iS-That the
New Haven road intends 10 give the city
OF Mount Vernon a fight rather than yield
TO its utimatum 10 give up the use OF soft
coal for it's locomotives by Friday noon
OF this week was announced yesterday in
a letter received by Roger NJ. Sherman
from Edward G. Buckland counsel for
the company.
The tone OF the letter is decidedly

ment OF the city authorities TO such an
extent that Mr.. Sherman Immediately
sent reply notifying the company that
the city will stand no further temporizing.
Mr. auckland in his letter expressed
doubt that the use OF soft coal was a
nuisance. He says that his company will
continue 10 experiment with IL to see II
its use can't be made less objectionable.
The company, he says, has sent lo
Scranton, Pa, to bring on an instructor
10 show the firemen on the road how thcy
can stoke with soft coal without produc-
ing smoke or any of the deleterious odors
complained OF by the commuters.
Mr. sherman I'm his reply told Mr.. Buck
land that the city was not interested IN
any experiments which his company rs
making to see how near "a can come 10
the line OF legality, but unless the
