Two drownings were averted at
Pawtuxet cove last evening. when a
gray haired woman. who gave her
name as Jennie Aborn and who is said

brother, Alvin Leroy Church, who had
jumped in after him. until help ar
rived. The two escapes from drown
ing happened within an hour OF each
other and within hundred yards dis
tance
No one saw the Aborn woman go
into the water. but she was seen going
toward Peck's slip. at the foot OF Peck
street and is supposed to have waded
then TO have fallen forward.
She was nearly submerged when
Frank Silva saw leg protruding
above the surface of the cove, sent up
a shout and then rushed toward the
spot. He found that Il was a woman
nearly submerged. Bubbles were COM
ing TO the surface. indicating that she
had not been under the water long. He
seized the woman and half lifted. half
dragged her toward the beach. where
Fred Lowe and another fisherman
named Willis, who had responded TO
the boys shouts carried her to dry
land She was still conscious. and was
carried to the home OF Mrs. Kelley on
Peck street. where she was cared for.
Those who attended her say that she
told them she was tired OF life and
meant to end II all.

The splash attracted Alvin's atten-

boy could swim, but Arthur could not
swim a stroke. Alvin reached the
younger lads side quickly.
Meanwhile the boys father. who was
at the Richardson Marine Supply COM
pany's place, couple OF hundred yards
away. had seen the two boys go over
board and he hastily put off for the
scene in rowboat. Several other
craft fastened TO the spot from differ

and pulled Arthur into the boat. while
Alvin climbed In without much aid.
The smaller boy had swallowed a lit

manoeuvres directed against the forts

peared yesterday morning and was success
full In It's attack. The enemyfs feet, con-
sisting OF several smaller vessels OF the
war department, representing battieships
and cruisers were sighted at 10 o'clock
advancing in two columns
They commenced firing at long range at
the defences OF Fort Mansfield on Napa-
tree Point. Each OF the four torpedo
planters was supposed to a hattleship OF
the New Jersey type, and the other boats
engaged equalled four armored cruisers
The fort was no match for such a strong
fotilla. and after a bombardment OF an
hours its guns were silenced. A torpedo
fiotfla was then sent in TO destroy the
mines. which had been theoretically laid
across the passage leading into Fishers
Island sound.
War ships OF the enemy were thereby
enabled TO pass TO the rear of Forts
Wright and Terry. on Fishers Island, and
take them According To the statements
OF the officers these forts were never in

powerful feet, but merely TO protect the
mines.
The forces on land about Fort Mans
field consisted OF the Eighth company of
coast artillery. commanded by Major
Oscar l. Straub. and two companies OF
Connecticut militia. The latter troops had
two Colt rapid fire guns 10 assist them in
repelling a landing party.
The disposition OF the troops on land
was In charge OF Lieut.. Ware, OF the
Fourteenth infantry. and Lieut.. Jeunet. OF

from the service school at Fort Leaven-
worth TO instruct and assist in the ma
noeuvres In this part OF the country.
There will be further demonstrations
against Forts Mansfield. Terry and Wright
during the week and night attack Is ex-
pected. On Thursday a larger fleet Will
advance against all the defences OF the
sound simultaneously.

SAILORS make
BOLD BREAK
FOR LIBERTY

The most daring break for liberty ever
attempted at the Naval Training station
at Newport was made on Sunday night.
when four naval apprentices confined in
the brig" near Barrack c, fought their
way out and tried To escape from the
Coasters Harbor Island, on which the ma
val station is situated. The attempt. how
ever, was only partly successful. owing to
the quick discovery by the sentries on
duty at the brig In consequence, only
one of the men is now missing from the
station. The other three were recaptured.
Apprentice Seamen w. T. Crook. A. De-
laney. w. Il. Church and II. A McDon-
aid were confined for minor offenses and
were waiting their turn TO be court-mar-
tailed with other apprentices, who were
also prisoners In the station prison. IL
appears that all of the men In the brig
had intended 10 be parties In the attempt
for liberty. When the time came, how
ever, only the four young men held to
their word.
Apprentice Church was the first TO be
discovered not having left the station.
The others, however, had taken 10 the
water, and two had reached the other
side OF the cheek" as IL Is called at the
station. Apprentice Delaney was still in
the water when discovered. A master-at-
arms put out in a skiff and captured the
seaman as he reached the Newport shore.
He was not taken prisoner until after a
hard struggle.
Last evening Apprentice Crook was
brought back from Fall River, he having
walked to that city during the night. he
was arrested at the request OF the naval
authorities, who had notified the police of
Fall River, TO be on the watch for the
two missing seamen. Mcdonald, how

Grazing Land.

The grazing Of land by mixed stock
of cattle, sheep and horses result in
the land being more easily graZed than
when only one kind is kept. Where,
however, many sheep are kept with
cattle, the sheep pick out the finest of
the grass and cloyers, and the cattle
do not thrive as we'll. But sheep, on
the other hand, eat with avidity and
impunity much that cattle dislike and
avoid. Many pastures, grazed only
with cattle, are often in the spring
time covered with weeds, which a few
sheep mixed in with the cattle would
keep down. Horses, when kept in a
pasture by themselves, are very uneven
grazers A few kept in large cattle
pasture will Craze the rank places
where cattle have previously left their
manure, and also about places where
the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much bet
ter when they are able to select their
own foods

The Garden in Spring.

The first thing to do with a garden
plot is to pillow it, and harrow the land
until it is as fine on the surface as It
can possibly be made. If the work is
to be done with horse the longer the
rows the better. Use only plump and
sound seed, procured from reliable
seedsmen and use too much seed rather
than too little, as it is easier to thin
out the surplus plants than to replant
the vacant places. Use only Well-rot-
ted manure, and work it we'll into the
soil. If fertilizer is used, let it be
broadcasted and narrowed in. The say
ing of labor will largely depend upon
watching the weeds. If the wheel hoe
or wheel cultiyMOr is used just as the
weeds are appearing above ground the
top soil will always be kept fine and
loose. and fewer weeds will appear
after each cultivation. Cultivated in
that manner, an ordinary garden can
be worked in an hour or two; but If
the weeds are allowed to grow until
they are several inches high they will
injure the garden plants and increase
the labor fourfold. That is the main
point-to cultivate as soon as the weeds
terminate. Do not put in the seeds too
soon while the ground is cold, as they
may fail to terminate. When the APP
pie trees are in bloom is the best time
for planting the garden crops, as the
ground will then be in excellent condi-
ton, warm, and the danger from frost
past. Vegetables and small fruits cost
less than corn, wheat and oats in pro-
portion to area occupied and the labor
bestowed
