Sept. 5 A movement was started today by many of the prominent cottagers of Newport to Interest the summer colony In a petition to be laid before the next State Legislature which meets In January to have that part of the city of Newport which Is made up of the summer residences set apart as a separate town to be known as South Newport. A circular of about 600 words In length was made public today preliminary to the proposed action in which the alleged grievances of the summer people and the treatment given them by the city are set forth and the plan for a new township outlined.

The petition to he laid before the Legislature will aek that If the proposed new town of South Newport be Incorporated It be represented In the State Legislature by one senator and an assemblyman. The circular is not signed. For some time there has ben more or less friction between the summer cottagers and the cltlxens of Newport. In the circular Issued today It Is claimed that the summer residents pay 65 per cent of the taxes of the city of Newport and It claims that they are not given in return the treatment or consideration which they believe due them. They allege that thw value of their property has depreciated In recent years because the city, has not mad tho necessary Improvements as they have In other parts of the city.

The fire and police protection of the summer portion of Newport, it le claimed, are not entirely adequate to protect the valuable property there, and it la further alleged that the cottagers are subjected to annoyances caused by curious pleasure-seekrs outside the colony. Early In the season many of the cottagers Instituted a boycott against local merchants. The former claimed -that the local dealers charged exorbitant prices for their goods. They claimed that they could purchase their groceries, provisions and other supplies in New York and have them shipped to their summer residences here, cheaper than they could be bought In the city. Many of the summer residents tried this plan for several weeks and then a compromise was reached with the local tradesmen.

Many of the finest summer houses In the country are located In Newport, and every year there are hundreds of the nation's richest and most Influential families come here for the summer, and representatives of foreign governments have made It one of their resorts during the hot season o.

By the Preferred Mercantile Company Receiver Held for Creditors of the Boston Concern Efforts of Burton P.Griy Aided by the NewYork Court Receiver Burton P. Gray of the Preferred Mercantile Company of Boston has been busy during the past fortnight In following up the trail of the Stlllingses and their associates la New York State, and has succeeded In finding 87000 In negotiable securities which he now bolds for the benefit of the creditors of the Boston company.

It appears that on June 29 George A Stillings, Guy C. Stillings, Morton Walters, Laura A. Dooley and George Stillings, the father of George E. aad Guy C. Stillings, were Incorporated In New York under the name of the Preferred Mercantile Company of New York for the purpose of taking over the business and contracts of the Boston company, and especially to get possession of moneys paid on account of the Boston companys contracts since the forfeiture of that companys charter, March 14 of this year.

Immediately after the Stillings brothers were adjudged In contempt, and sentenced to Jail la this Commonwealth, Receiver Gray went to New York, and with the assistance of Attorney General Julius U. Mayer, started proceedings to have the New York charter forfeited, on the ground that the company was conducting an Illegal business, and ultra vires. On Sept. 1 at a special session of the Supreme Court of New York In Albany County, Robert Ten Eyck of York was appointed receiver of the New York company, and the same day Justice Cochrane of that court appointed Burton P. Opy of this city, and William J.

Grattan, a New York attorney, ancillary receivers in New York of the Boston company. Service was made on the various New York agents of the company, and on the Garfield Safe Deposit Company, where some 87000 In negotiable securities belonging to the Preferred Mercantile Company of Boston were found, aad the securities were turned over to Mr. Gray, and are now In his possession. It Is estimated that the money now In the hands of the agents of the company in the United Btates and Canada amounts to something like WRECK ON THE BURLINGTON THREE KILLED IN COLLISION OF TRAINS Denver, Sept. 5 Three persons were killed and twenty-one Injured last night at Brush, on the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy Railway, eighty miles east of Denver in a rear-end collision between a passenger and a freight train, both westbound.

Sept. 5 Hesekiah Butterworth, author and historian, died at the residence of his brother la this town today. Death was due to diabetes, from which Mr. Butterworth had been a long-time sufferer; Mr. Butterworth was removed from Boston to hts brothers home here about a week ago In the hope that the change.

In climate might bring about some improvement In his condition, but since hla arrival he had grown steadily worse, and died at about four oclock this morning. Hesekiah Butterworth, author of the popular books entitled Zig-Zag Journeys, was born in Warren, R. hla ancestors being early settlers of Swansea, and Bristol, R. His youth was passed on an old term belonging to the family, and was devoted to the care of aged grandparents and to his education. In boyhood he had a etrong desire to become a Journalist and a writer of books, and for years he devoted all hla leisure to the reading of the best books that could be procured la the town libraries.

He took the usual course In the Warren High School, studied rhetoric with a professor of Brown University, worked on the home farm, taught school, helped edit the local paper, and read almost constantly In his spars hours. He began to write for various periodicals, among them the Independent, Appletons Journal, Con-gregationallst and Youths Companion. He came to Boston soon after with a view of reading In the Public Library and beginning life aa a Journalist. Hs was almost without acquaintances in ths city, and obliged to rely upon his own efforts. He obtained employment on several papers, lived simply, spent much time In the library and worked hard.

A position as assistant editor of a popular periodical opened to him, and he began to prepare books which took their color from his long courses of hlstoije reading. In 1875 he produced "The Story of the Hymn," a work that has had a large sale, and that received the George Wood gold medal for that year. He wrote Zig-Zag Journeys in Europe, a book that was immediately popular, edition after edition being called for more rapidly than could ha produced. It was followed by Zig-Zag Journey In Classic Land, of which an edition of ten thousand copies wu sold in advance of publication. Over forty thousand Zig-Zag" books were sold In leas than two years.

The Zig-Zag" books came Into general use for collateral readings in BIGELOW KENNARD 8CQ 5terlipg'Silver TEA SETS I CORNERWESTST BOSTON BROOKLINE CANAL HISTORIAN CHOSEN Joseph B.

Following the pronouncement of Governor Jelks of Alabama advocating national control of quarantines, the Indorsement of the Louisiana Press Association has given adJed weight and the newspapers of tha State are practically a unit on the proposition. The campaign of education contlnuea and a number of lectures were delivered yesterday. While the New Orleans public has never been noted for attention to lectures. It Is attending the mosquito talks faithfully.

and everyone now knows the mosquito theory. It seems to be the general opinion that while the screening of cisterns and the destruction of mosquitoes by fumigation are excellent precautionary measures. the greatest protection Is In the prompt screening of the patient who succumbs to fever. It la not generally believed It will be possible to reduce perceptibly the number of mosquitoes. Medical Inspector Brady has reported to President Souchon of the State Board of Health that one of the reasons why yellow fever spreads so persistently In the country Is the apparent Inability or unwillingness of soma physicians to diagnose mild yellow fever.

PALMERS SERVICE TO END A New Public Printer to Be Appointed Ricketts and Hay Probably Will Be Reinstated New Head to Decide Upon Their Fitness Pilmtr'i Report on Lanston Machines Is Ridicu'ed Special Is the Transcript: Sept. 5 Public Printer Palmer's threat that if Ricketts and liar did not reman they must show cause before noon today for not being removed, has not been cnrriird out. of that Palmer has learned (lie Presidents patience with him lias been wholly exhausted and that a new public printer will before many days take charge of the office. If he is a man of reasonable ability lie should save fl.01 MK a year for tlie taxpayers, according to estimates of conservative observers of the Palmer rtlme. Ilh-kett's and llay will l- reinstated, and the new public printer will decide upon tlicir fitness to continue their work.

Independent of their personal efficiency, the Keep Commission. to which the subject has been referred by the President, cannot afford to remove men dismissed for testifying freely and honestly before it. The public printer stated that he had dismissed these men for Insubordination. and when his office was asked by the Transcript correspondent If that was shown In their testimony before the Keep Commission the answer came partly. The President has acted with extreme liberality toward the Palmer contingent In allowing the contract for seven ty-t wo Lanston machines to stand even though Its formal legality is absolute.

Practical printers regard the report upm which Palmer based his action as little short of a Joke, In the Ingenious method by which itgurva were assembled in favor of the Ianston machine. It is pointed put that If the company had been offered the opportunity to sell the fiovernnirnt the number of Its machines legitimately nrcde.1 for the office, perhaps twelve, abandoning the rest of the contract, nr had been cumpclliil to go Into the Court of Claims to sue for damages on the whole contract. It would. If well advised, have taken the former course, especially if the metlbMs by which the sale was originally effected were In danger ot ventilation. The President, however, preferred to take the liberal side and put an end to the speculative effects of uncertainty regarding Anal outcome of the Government's contract.
