SLASaED MANS HAND
Used | ShoveI For .. Weapon
 and Then Escaped.

While working in ditch on North Main street about 10 o'clock this morning Rocco Rinaldi was attacked by Joseph Parugini and the latter with the aid of a shovel badly slash d his fellow workman's hand. Rinaldis right hand was struck be- tween the second and third fingers and split almost down to the wrist. Detective Colasanto, who was sent out on the case, said the hand was mangled frightfully.
 Rinaldi and Parugini were work ing side by side when they became involved In an argument. One word led to another and finally Parugini became so enraged that yielding the shovel with which he had been dig gtng he attacked Rinaldi and in flicted the injury mentioned above. Rinaldi endeavored to ward of the blows with his hands and succeeded in escaping some of the swings made at him.
 The assailant after laying out Rim aldi left his work and up to press hour his whereabouts was unknown. The detective department was noti- fled of the fight and ColasAnto was sent after the shovel swinger. but Parugini evidently had skipped for he had not appeared at his boarding house on Canal street.
 Rinaldi's injuries were dressed by Dr Le Louise, who says he does not think the hand will have to be ann putated.

 rendered judgement for the govern ment against John J. O'Brien of the O'Brien Construction company and Seth Perkins of Boston for $73,51S. 76. When Mir O'Brien was asked about this matter he said that the decision was given merely on a point of law and not on the merits or facts of the case. According to the New York papers Mir OBrien and Mir Perkins failed to carry out a contract with the government to dredge the Providence river two years ago. Mir O'Brien de- nied that the contract was taken from him and Mir Perkins and held that the whole trouble grew out of a suit for $400000 which they won against the government In q Boston contract.

GROUNDHOG DAY
Absence of Sun . Promise of an
 Early Spring.

It Is question whether the ground hog saw its shadow to-day, for while the weather was pleasant over head the sun was not in evidence and as a consequence the ground hog evidently concluded according to it's old way of reckoning that the backbone of win ter is broken and decided to get down to business right away and commence attending to its spring chores. To be sure this is only a guess at what the little weather prophet thought of the situation and it may not be very good one at that. If 1t be true that the ground hog likes snug corner during the cold weather the chances are that it didn't venture beyond the threshold when it looked out this morning and without waiting to see whether the sun was, up or not promptly returned to it's cot and roll ed itself up in it's warm bed for a few weeks more.

WOLVERTON HAS
AN "AFFINITY"

Harry Wolverton, secured by the
Cincinnati Reds from the Williams
port club, does not want to break back
inta major league company. He pre-
fers to stay where he played last year
and is very anxious TO secure his re-
lease from the Reds in order that he
may do so. Wolverton owns consid-
cradle stock in the Williamsport club,
is manager Of the team and very popu-
lar there. He feels that it is to his
best interest to remain there. Hence
he earnestly requests President Herr
man to allow him to do so.
This may be arranged for him, pro-
vided that waivers can be adopted on
him from the other major league clubs.
There would not be much chance for
Wolverton to play regularly in Gin
cinnatti. as the Reds are thoroughly
well equipped on the left side of the
diamond, with Lobert, Mowrey and
Hulswitt.
Wolverton is a clean cut. honest fell
low and President Herman does not
want to stand in the way Of his sue
cess as a minor league magnate and
manager. 1t is not likely that he will
be seen in a Red uniform next season.

TWO-MAN TOURNEY

There Is great amount Of interest CEN
tered IN the two-man tournament for the
Amateur League bowlers, which is run
ming at the Academy alleys this week.
That there is some good material in this
league there is no question, and with a
little more experience would be as good
bowlers as any In the city. Some good
scores are being made, and they will be
watched closely by some of the older
bowlers who have in mind the strengthen
ing of their team. 1t has been decided that
after a man has entered this tournament
with one partner, and wants to enter the
second time or more it viii only cost him
25 cents after he has paid his entrance
fee Of 90 cents. Twelve teams have entered
so far and they are as follows: Moore
