MACHINISTS ACTIVE.
remarkable activity was displayed
among the Republican machinists at
the city hall this morning. Tonight
occurs the last OF the meetings which
VIII be attended by the city clerk for
registration and II is probable that
the men who compose the city hall
machine are not quite satisfied with
the situation as IL exists at present
Ihe registration al the several meet
lngs has been large. but II is pretty
generally believed that the Democrats
have made large gains I'm all parts
or the city, while on the other hand
there has been shown a great deal
OF apathy on the part OF the Repub-
licans The men who are chiefly in
terested are the Office holders about
the city hall and they don't like the
looks OF things a bit.
This morning there were number
or conferences I'm which city officials
appeared to be interested in the reg
istration books The chief machin-
list was present at all OF these, and
IL is probable that within the next
week n strong effort will b, made
TO boom the Republican registration,
which is now far below its normal
strength In this city.
STOLE A TEAM

Ing TO George w. Payne was stolen
from West avenue yesterday after
noon by couple OF boys. The young
sters drove into Providence and left
the rig standing on Elmwood avenue.

apparently not being quite satisfied
with the outht taken from Pawtucket

riage belonging to an Elmwood ply
sician. but the police were notified and
the boys were captured and locked up
PRACTICE WORK.
The local police have formed n ball
team and n game has been arranged
between the coppers and the high
school nine to take place on June 90
Yesterday afternoon the blue coats
were out practicing and II is said that
some Of the men developed wonder
full and surprising ability. The local

PROTECTIVE DEPARTMENT.
A ,toI
Board of Underwriters has been called
for tomorrow afternoon for the pur-
pose OF considering proposition which
has been received by the secretary
from the city council comnae on
fire department. This proposition Is
for the establishment OF a protective
department In this city.
In other cities where these protec-
tive departments have been organized
the expenses maintaining Il have been
met by the Insurance companies and
X is believed that this would be done
here. IL is not the plan OF the com
mittee to maintain special wagon
for the service but instead TO pro-
vide the tarpaulins and other covers
and place them on the different trucks
and at the same time place one or
two men at each station whose spe-
cial duty II shall he 10 look after
these. The only additional expendi-
ture would be the pay or the men
and II Is believed that the insurance
representatives will look favorably on
the proposition
ADDED MORE NAMES.
City Clerk Rowe was at ttI Dar-
lington school house on Cottage street
last evening with his registration
books and in the two hours 129 names
were added 10 the list Both parties
were represented by workers and the
result OF the meeting was fairly sat
isfaotory.
This evening the city clerk will be
at the rooms OF the Fairlawn Improve
ment society and the probabilities are
that there will be large registra-
tion. Tonight's meeting will be the
last one at which an opportunity will
be had 10 register outside OF the city
hall
