City Truck collides with Lamp Post

City Truck Collides with Lamp Post
| Another one of the city lamp posts
came TO grief Friday morning, when
the city truck, driven by Harry
Cushion, slowed as the driver was
making a sharp turn near the curbing
opposite where the lamp post was To-
Gated, the cement street being very
slippery at the time, the rear end OF
the truck hit the post and laid it low.
This is the second one that has been
destroyed since they. were Installed.
The first ore, which was located near
C. A. Browns residence, was hit by
a runaway auto early in August, re-
quiring the city to have one made,
which required a long time to get.
The one tisat was broken yesterday
morning Yves near the E. Lane & Son
store. We would think it a good
plan to nave at least one extra post
on hand at all times so that they
could be replaced at once, without
The loss Of light for the length of time
that it required to get the first one
into running order.
Word came to Newport Friday
morning announcing the death of
Frank E. Hapgood, which occurred
at his home, 444 Massachusetts Ave,
Boston, Thursday night. Mr.. Hap
good was well known in Newport,
having been proprietor of the New
port House at one time. The cause
of death was pneumonia, and it is
reported that Mrs. Hapgood is very
sick with the same trouble. : n "
The missionary thank offering sup
per which was given in the dining
rooms of the Congregational church
last evening was a grand success as
a suppec, also in leaving a nice sum
OF money for missions. There were
$50 people who gathered to enjoy
themselves at this supper and they
were so thankful that the war had
ended they left $500 as donation
to missions. This amount was
nearly double what has been received
at previous times. =, - s>'~
