DEATH OF OLD CITIZEN.
George w. Bagley. a man who for many
years was one OF the best known shop
keepers In this city and whose ancestors
were among the original settlers OF Paw
tucket died az HIS home on Mineral Spring
avenue yesterday morning The death was
very sudden for while he has not been IN
the best OF health for some weeks still
his family had no idea that his condition
was so serious. lie owned considerable
! property on Main street. The deceased
was a molder by trade
He belonged i'm the old days 10 the vol
unteer fire department and later was one
OF the most enthusiastic and active MEM
bers OF the Pawtucket Veteran Firemen's
| association.
His friendship for the late Chief Colyer
! OF the fire department was very great
and IL is something OF a coincidence that
| his grandfather presented 10 the town the
| plot OF ground at the corner OF Mineral
! Spring avenue and Main street which
| some years ago was named Colyer park
| and on which Is a monument 10 the dead
| chief. The Mineral Spring cemetery which
is directly opposite the park Is also gift
| from the Bagley family.
! The deceased leaves one sister and one
| brother two sons. George w, Jr., and
! Joseph, the former being a conductor on
! the Consolidated road. There are also
/ two daughters. Mrs Sarah Means and
! Mrs. Mary Everett and IL was with the
| latter that he made his home.
A FEW NAMES CONSIDERED.
There was a meeting last evening OF the
committee for the purpose OF cutting from
| the voting lists 90 be used at the Demo
! cratic caucuses the names of certain men
J I'm this city who have heretofore posed as
| Democrats 10 the extent of taking part
! I'm the caususes OF that party and then
spending the remainder of their time In
working for the defeat OF the candidates
nominated at those caucuses.
There has been a great deal OF talk
since this committee was appointed be-
cause certain people appeared TO think
that radical action was going 10 be taken
and that there was 10 be a wholesale re-
vision OF the lists. II can be said that
the committee never had any such idea.
IL realizes that to cut off a lot OF names
would result i'm making enemies for the
party but on the other hand. IL is be-
lieved that for the best interests Of the
party IL will be a good thing to prevent
certain people from acting I'm the party
caucuses and this is the object of the APP
pointment OF this committee and this is
also the work the committee will do,
There were not great number of
names which came up for consideration
last evening There were n few and the
list was very carefully made. Today this
same list was again gone over very care
fully and this afternoon notices were sent
to these men that there will be a meet
ing OF the Democratic city committee in
Eagle hall aSturday evening. at which
time these names will be acted upon and
at that meeting the men who are notified
will be given an opportunity to appear
and show cause why this action should
not be taken.
