PORT WHEEL DISABLED.
Steamer Providence Carried 900
Children Bound for Washington.

NEWPORT, r. l., March 27.-With the
greater part of her LOO passengers I'M
aware that an accident had happened. the
steamer Providence of the Fall River line
was lowed into Newport early this morn
ling from the vicinity of Point Judith.
where during the night the steamer had
become disa bled through the breaking OF
her port paddle wheel. OF the passen-
gers on board the Providence about GU
were school children who were bound for
Washington from various sections of New
England. and great was their astonish-
ment when they awoke TO find themselves
at Newport instead of at New York.
The breaking of the paddle wheel is be
lieved to have been caused by striking
heavy piece of driftwood. When the
Providence became disabled wireless te-
legraphy was employed to call the steam
err Commonwealth of the same line, which
was in the vicinity. and she stood by the
Providence until the tug Teaser put IN
an appearance and took the Providence
in tow for Newport.
All of the Providence's passengers were
transferred 20 a special train, which took
them TO New York.
