Honecker. One OF the most import
ant matters considered was the an
nual camp TO be held at Epworth

IL was definitely decided to hold the
field day on August 18th. at which
time there will be. in addition to ath.
letic contests OF the usual kinds, a
very interesting water contest at the
Epworth Park lake.

portance was the formation OF a base
ball league among the ten companies

ed that each company would have q

sible. The committee in charge will

EBEN J. BEANIE.

The recent death OF Eben J. Beane al
Oakland, California +, recalls the fact that
many years ago, he was one of Olneyville's
most prominent business men. For a
number of years, he conducted shoe store
on Olneyville Square, which became famous
throughout the city and state and made
for Mr.. Beane snug fortune. Eben ].
Beane was born in Sullivan County,
Maine. In his early manhood. he became
an overseer in the shoe shop of New York
penetentisry. lie came to Rhode Island
and acted in the same capacity in the
States Prison at Cranston. About 1870 he
borrowed small amount Of money and
opened a very small shoe store, in build
ing belonging TO /. w. ID. Pike. The
venture prospered and he soon removed to
larger quarters in the building now
occupied by the Eastern Coal Company.
At the end Of I3 years, he sold his business
to Messrs. San Souci, Jameson and Pink
ham, who were clerks in his employ. Mr..
Beane then removed to the center Of the
city, where be conducted the largest shoe
store in the state for a number of years.
He then became interested in the finding
of the "Hussar, a British pay ship, which
was sunk off New York harbor, in the
Revolutionary War. 1t proved to be a
loosing venture and Mr. Beane lost most OF
his property. For the past twenty years,
Mr.. Beane has resided on the Pacific
Coast.
