MRS. DEvINE l CAUSES ARREST
 OF HUSBAND
tChar9es That He Took IT Years Son Out and Got Him
 Intoxicated

Mrs Clara Devine. s5s Boston ave- ! nue, caused the arrest of her husband bsfcre daybreak this morning, follow ing a stormy night in her home, on the ground that Devine had led his | Fa7 years old son into intoxication.
 The woman walked into the Second precinct station at o'clock this morn ing, and between her sobs, told Police Sergeant OConnell that her husband had taken the lad out during the ev- ening and gotten him drunk.
 When the boy came home, late at night. he abused the smaller children, said the mother, until she had to forcefully interefere and protect the little ones. Ordinarily she said the young man never acted so savagely.
 Sergeant OConnell dispatched Pa trolman Flahaven to escort the wom- an home and make an examination of conditions at the home. The patrol man found the place peaceful when he and the mother arrived there, but he took the, father and son to the Second Precinct to explain the cir cumetances to Sergeant O'Connell
 The latter sent the twain to police Headquarters later in the morning, where Supt. Birmingham and Captain Arnold talked with them. The older Devine admitted having taken his son into the center of the city last night and bought him intoxicants. He said he bought the lad drinks in a Bank street saloon. But he appar- ently thought there was no harm in what he had done.
 The elder Devine is the mainstay of the family, and to punish him would be to inflict hardship upon his family The police gave the elder man repri- mand and upon his promise to mend his ways they released him.

STR. RICHARD PECK
 ARRIVES TO TAKE
 BRIDGEPORT'S PLACE

The Steamer Richard Peck arrived last evening a few minutes later than the regular schedule of the Steamer Bridgeport owing to the changing of crews, etc. at New York she did not get away promptly on time. She left for New York on time this morning with a large passenger list.
 With the advent of the Steamer Richard Peck in our harbor brings back recollections of the rivalry be- tween the Richard Peck and the steamer Bridgeport, or the Wm. G. Payne, as she was known when she first took the water.
 The Steamer Richard Peck is a much larger boat than the Bridgeport, and of an entirely different type. She is twin screw boat 303 feet long and 4s feet beam, indicated horse power 2906. and was built in Wilmington, Del, in 1892. When she first came out she was conceded to be the fastest vessel plying through these waters. When the keel was laid for the Steam CT Wm. c. Payne it was anticipated that she would be the fastest boat afloat and the New Haven liner would have to take second place. The Vim. G. Payne GOT the Steamer BridgeporD is 243 feet long. 36 feet beam. indicated horse power 20o0, built in Wilmington, DeE, 1902. She is a side wheeler, feathering buckets and inclined en- zines When she first came on the route while it was never conceded that a race was on the Payne and the Peck were usually seen going up the Sound neck and neck, and the question has probably never been set tied as to which of the two boats was the fastest.
 There is one pleasant feature about the Steamer Richard Peck in that the excursion parties who desire State Room accommodations will have no trouble in securing them.
