APPONAUG
OlphthsrIa Breaks Out Again.
Boss Brayton Visits His
Trusted Lien Tenant. Demo-
Gratis Harmonious.


Again the epidemic OF dphtheria has
visited the village of Apponaug Mrs. VIII
liam Spencer Is i'll at her home on the
Riverpoint road with n well de-
veloped case OF diphthera A few days
ago she complained of not feeling well
and of having very sore throat Satur-
day morning. DR.. Samuel III. Long was
called and upon examination diagnosed
the case as diphtheria. Health officer
Mack was notified and the house was put
under strict quarantine.
The people are again put in the same
frame Of mind as before and are in
quandry as to where the epidemic origin
ated The strangest thing about the epi-
demic was that most OF the patients af-
fected were adults.
GEN. BRAYTON IN APPONAUG.
Gen. Charles r. Brayton was in APP
ponaug yesterday and paid a visit TO his
trusted lieutenant, John Henry Northup
at the latter's home on the River Point
road.
IL does not take much rejecting to as
certain what thse cause OF his visit was.
Capt. Northup has known TO make the
statement more than once during the last
year that he is getting too old" 10 attend
TO politics and has given away to the
younger element In the language OF the
day, this statement Is considered by those
who know his political reputation, as all
''bosh." Capt Northup could no more
keep out Of active politics than could Gen.
Brayton. He is always found at conven-
tions. fire district and school district
meeting. He is considered and consulted
regarding the machines actions just as
much and perhaps more than ever before
and woe be to those who act without con-
sulting John Henry" The generals stay
with Mr.. Northup was a very lengthy one
and coming as II does now Is very signi-
ficant.
The Republican convention for nominat-
ing state and town officers will be helS
on the very last day and the very last mo-
ment allowed by law for fling nomina-
tons for this year. viz. next Wednesday
evening at o'clock. In previous years
Gen. Brayton has always attended these
conventions and passed upon the calibre
| of the state.
| 1t is supposed that Byayton will adopt
the same method that he did at the state
convention last week, that is that he
will not be present at the town conven.
| ton next Wednesday. He will try thi.
way of proving to the people of War
wick as he supposed he did to the peopl,
of the state, that he has determined t,
keep his hands off and let them selec
their own candidates In joint convention
| The Republican machine Is reporting
that Brayton Is out of town politics jus
as he is out Of state politics, although h
| has not sent a letter to the town stat
| Ing this to be a fact
1t Is almost as hard to find a candi
date Tor senator III this town as II was 4
find candidate for lieutenant-governor
| for the place. Mr.. Greene has represent
| ed the town In both branches OF the leg
| islature. IL is not thought that Mr.
| Greene Will accept nomination. as hi
| business will not allow him to again en-
ter politics. Councilman Barber is sai'
| to be unwilling to run again.
AS stated before, DR.. Long OF Apo
| naug is very much opposed TO a renomi
! nation. IL is stated that he will not rui
under any conditions.

! nomination OF state and town officers VII

and polieG the lai sest vote on the ticke
| last year .
The town ticket Is the strongest tha

| bound to receive undivided support. Th'
| Democratic party in Warwick is the mos
| harmonious that u has been In years, es
pecially IN the northern part OF tn'
town, where the French element Is In th'
ma ajorlty.
Messrs. Flanagan. Magoon and Thur
Der will again be candidates on the coun
QUIET SUNDAY.
Yesterday was considered by many az
one OF TN. quietest Sundays In Apponaui
| In some time. .
Although quiet. IL was not necessarily
a dry Sunday, but the business was car
| ried on with some regard for public de
cency. The patrons TO. these places were
| few and far between. This change In the
| liquor traffic Is considered by many 81
| the calm before the storm.
