ANOTHER VESSEL ADDED
TO THE JOY LINE FLEET

The management OF the JOY line Of
steam vessels has acquired a new craft
to ply between this port and New York to
take the place OF tho Larchmont, which
was laid up for repairs yesterday. The
new craft is the Shinnecock, and while
not new in point OF service IN appoint
ments she Is far better that the boat
whcse place she takes
The Shinnecock was obtained from the
Moutauk Steamboat company for which
she was making trips from New York 20
Montauk Point and sag Harbor during
the past two years.
In point OF appearance she is the best
boat or tho line running TO this point and
the passengers who take trips In her will
find much more commodious arrange
ments for their comfort than was had on
the other vessels She Is not so long as the
Laichmont but has a broader beam and
therefore permits OF much more spacious
interior arrangements.
One OF the best features OF the boat ia
tina in the bow on the saloon deck is
large dining room looking out over the
vessel which makes IL very pleasant for
these travelling since they can both enjoy
the scenery and the edibles furnished by
the culinary department
Today as the vessel came into port she
bore the colors at half-mast on account
OF the death OF the president OF the Mon
tsuk Steamboat company. Mr. Potter.

Mr.. Walker sold some land on Cranston

the mortgage a short time after 20 the
Cooperative Savings society OF Connect

BOND ISSUE
FOR ARMORY
and ROADS

Mr.. Roswell Burchard OF Little Comp
ton introduced today in the house OF rep
resentatives a resolution submitting to
the people a proposition TO issue bonds
for carrying on the state roads and COM
pIeting the armory. II follows
Resolved. That the following PROPOSE
ton be submitted 10 the people for their
approval or rejection az the general cleo
tion 10 be held on the Tuesday next fol-
lowing the first Monday IN November
1906:
STATE ROADS AND ARMORY LOAN.
Shall the general assembly he au-
thorized and directed 10 provide for the
Issue OF such an account OF state bonds
as may be necessary 20 complete the sys-
tenn OF state roads already approved by
the general assembly. and to complete the
state armory already authorized by act
OF general assembly and now I'm process
of construction In the city OF Providence.
these bonds 90 be Issued from time 20
time, in such amounts and upon such
terms as the general assembly may here
after determine?
provided. however. that the whole
amount OF such bonds, so issued. shall
not exceed the following amounts re-
spectively: For the state roads, $500. 900
and for the state armory $3.50 OOo.'
In connection with the bill Mr.. Bur-
chard made the following explanation:
This bill does not provide for any ex-
pendture not already undertaken and au-
thorized by this legislature.
THE general assembly has already au-
thorized an expenditure OF 100000 in state
roads and $3So.0oo on the state armory.
These are the two largest items OF ex-
pense which are now embarrassing the
states finances.
THE floating indebtedness OF the state
IL now carried at per cent interest. A
bonded loan could be secured for sls 10
4 per cent or less.
1T Is not good business policy 10 In
stall permanent improvements and pay
for them ont OF current expense accounts
The legitimate businesslike way OF hand
ling loan is by bond Issue. State
roads are an absolute necessity TO the
business interests OF the state; the
armory is partially built and must he
completed II IL fair and reasonable that
the cost OF their Improvements should
not be crowded into the expenses OF a
few years.
The proposition is 10 place this matter
before our people and leave the matter
10 the discretion OF the electors at the
fall election"

7 VERDICTS
SET ASIDE
BY COURT

Two rescripts were harded down by
the appellate court today. verdicts Of
jurles against the Union Railroad com
pany and the Rhode Island company In
two instances are set aside. Josephine
Feeley obtained a verdict against the
Union railroad for $1,000 and Francis d.
Kempf was given a verdict for $500
against the Rhode Island company.
Both companies petitioned for new
trials and their petitions were granted. In
the Kempf cese the court says: .he
plaintiff In this case claims damages from
the defendant on the ground that she was
injured by the starting OF one OF its
cars as she was stepping from Il after
IL had stopped TO let her off The over
whelmng weight OF the evidence is 10
the effect that she stepped of the car
while IL was In motion and that n was
stopped ss soon as possible after the
signal was given and did not again pro-
ceed until after the plaintiff was picked
from the ground" F"
In the Feeley case the court SAYS; THE
evidence strongly preponderstes to the
effect that the accident complained Of
was caused by the nismanagement or
msbehavior OF the horse which the
plaintiff was driving and not from OK.
cessive speed or msmanagement Of the
defendants car. Upon this point the
plaintiff II positively contradcted by FIVE
apparently disinterested witnesses and
the motorman who drove the car. Her
own testimony is uncorroborated. The
circumstances OF the collision cannot be
reconclled with the plaintiffs story. II
is dificult 20 believe that she was vio-
lently thrown against the dasher and
back against the seat, while child OF
three years OF age sat upon the same
seat unharmed
Quite number OF verdicts have re-
