The superintendent of lights OF the town
OF Warwick, Dr. A. w. Colvin OF Phenix,
takes exception TO some of the statements
recently made against him, regarding reg
ulation OF lights in the town. The doctor
claims the press has been unfair In re-
gard to the matter saying that reports
are not true and are misleading TO the
public. The charge that he recently re-
moved certain lights from the residences
Of Republicans and placed them at the
The statement regarding the number and
cost of lights he also says was exagger-
ated There are but 1900 lights in the
town and the cost TO operate the same Is
sl2 each per year. The attack made on the
superintendent in regard TO turning off
the lights for an hour or more at mid
night. and allowing them on In the early
morning hours. the doctor claimed was
unjust as he asserts the greatest good to
the largest number is secured by the
change.
TWO RIBS BROKEN.

with a serious accident yesterday. He
was engaged I'm painting house for
Charles e. Bowen, and was working on
swing staging when one OF the blocks
on the roof loosened and he fell TO the
ground In falling he struck box which

BAPTISM AT ANTHONY.
There was a large assembly at the bap-
tism in Searles Capwell's mill trench at
Anthony Sunday, when seventeen con-
verts. all from the knotty Oak church,
were immersed by>the pastor. Rev. Dan
iel L. Bennett, the choir singing selec-
tions while the service was in progress.
At the close of the service the seventeen
members assembled at the church where
the pastor laid on hands and later they
received the right hand OF fellowship. and
the entire congregation formed a semi
circle around the church and also extend
ed the right hand OF fellowship. Next
Sunday at iO:30 o'clock another class from
the Knotty Oak church. will be immersed

HELD LAWN PARTY.
The Anthony Working Girls club held
very successful lawn party last evening
at the residence OF superintendent
Weeiey,Fhe- grounds were illuminated by
Japanese lanterns and electric lights.
Many attractive booths were placed about
the grounds and did a thriving business.
The attendance was large and the affair
was a financial and social success
RESUMES OPERATIONS.
The Interlaken mill at Arkwright re-
sumed operations yesterday. after being
shut down for a couple OF weeks. The
shut down was not due to depression OF
business. but for the purpose of installing
a larger and better water wheel, the old
one having become useless, after many
years of service. The new wheel. while
having greater power. does not con-
sumo as much water as did the old one.
THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED.
The adjourned session OF the West
Greenwich financial town meeting was
not held yesterday, as had been antici-
pated The certified copies of the regu-
lar meeting fell into the hands Of one OF
the factions and showed that the meeting
was not adjourned to any special date.
and then the party in opposition did not
care 10 carry on business, so the meeting
was not held
This seems 10 be tying up matters
pretty badly. as no appropriations were
made no tax rate voted and just how
the town Is to receive any revenue under
these conditions Is n question none can
answer.
