NO EXCURSION
BOATS To PIER
THIS SUMMER

President A. X. Tillinghast of the Prov
idence, Fall River and Newport Steam
boat company has reported to the COM
pany that it's dock property at Narragan-
sett Pier is seriously damaged, and that
1t does not seem advisable TO try to main
tain a wooden structure on so exposed n
part OF the coast. 1t is therefore unlikely
that the Block Island boats will stop at
the Pier during the coming summer.
In regard to the reported discontinuance
OF boat service to Fields Point, Crescent
Park and Rocky Point. President Tilling-
hast says that immediate action is not
contemplated. Contracts with the proprie-
tors of the shore places will run two more
seasons, and thus there will be ample
time to make new arrangements.
The fact that the Newport and Block
Island business is profitable and that the
nearby shore traffic is not remunerative
will have no bearing on the contracts now
in force.

DECIDED AGAINST
CITY PHYSICIAN
Of PAWTUCkET

Judge Baker today handed down his
decision on the demurrer OF defend
ant TO plaintiffs declaration in the
case OF Teresa Simpson OF Pawtucket.
VS. Byron y. Richards
Plaintiff is administrator on the es-
tate OF Edward Simpson and DIR. Rich
ards. the defendant. is city physician
OF Pawtucket.
on Feb. 2s, 1902, according TO plain
tiff's declaration, her husband, Edward,
was suffering from smallpox and was
taken to the city hospital. 1t was
the duty of defendant, she asserts, to
have had the doors and windows fas
tened so that the patients could not
escape.
While suffering from delirium. the
patient being slightly clad, escaped by
means OF an unguarded window, and
wandered four miles TO the town OF
Cumberland. and was there struck by
car and died after being taken back
to the hospital.
Mrs. Simpson sued to recover $4,000
damages.
The main point I'm the demurrer was
that the defendant was not liable he
cause as city physician he Is not liable
for acts OF mere non-feasance. Judge
Baker I'm rescript says:
III the case were that this defend
ant, as city physician, neglected TO
do anything for the deceased when the
fact that the latter had smallpox was
called to his attention itswould prob
ably be case of non-feasance, but
having taken the plaintiffs intestate
under his care, the negligent perform
ance OF the duty thus undertaken may
become misfeasance.
1T seems to me that the weight OF
authority supports the view suggested.
do not think. therefore, that the de-
murrer should be sustained on that
ground"
The plaintiff is given leave TO amend
her statement of facts TO support the
allegation OF duty on the part OF de-
fendant as TO securing windows and
doors.
1t does not appear by the declaration,
the court thinks. as II should, that
delrium is a usual and ordinary char
acteristic of smallpox.

terer Lewis is famous and the general at
fractions OF the street"
Between the showers what served to en-
liven the scene and to make the crowd
all the more merry was the music which
the Banda Napoli furnished from the
stand In front of the hotel Though the
formal opening does not take place until
Memorial day. yet the dining room as
well as all the other attractions did a
large business.
one OF the features OF the day at the
Park was the new attractions offered and
enjoyed. Among these was the Ferris
wheel, the Temple of Mirth, the Turkish
theatre, the Tour OF the World the
chutes and the Loop-the-loop.
The popularity of baseball at Rocky
Point, and the enthusiasm which the fans
have for the game, as well as their desire
TO enjoy the sport on a care-free Sunday
outing. was never better shown than yes
terday when n number OF them Journey
ed down to the point on the mere chance
that there might be n game
The day was so threatening that, the
disappointment at not enjoying the game
was not so bitter that they could not turn
their attention TO the other general at
fractions offered by the management OF
the resort
The crowd went down In numbers both
by trolley and boat and when II was seen
that the grounds were too wet for ball
they took in all that was offered in other
forms OF pleasure. A band discoursed con-
cert music from the cafe room and the
circle swing was in working order as well
as tempting.
The opening OF the Rocky Point will
not formally take place until Wednesday
when things will be going In full blast.
