After the experience in the church the GER

At the planting of the tree the class ode,
written by NJ. Ella Gould, was read. The
The ode was as follows:
Dear friends, we welcome you this day,
Another year has passed away
Since last we gathered on these grounds,
SO lovely robed In green around.
CHORUS.
Dear class mates. as we stand,
Each bound by strongest band,
Pledge we our friendship round this tree,
Deep and resistless as the sea.
Our younger brothers, sisters too,
A kindly greeting here for you
Who follow 10 our pathway near
To take from us our work so dear.
Dear classmates may our lives expand
And spread their influence Ger the land,
just as this tree which In Gods light
Puts forth its leaves so fair and bright
In the evening reception was held in the
hall, and an order Of dances enjoyed.

A CLUE TO THE CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
Blood Stains Found In an Empt,
Cottage.
The Man Who Hired the Cottage
Lured cronIn Away.
what the Great quarrel In the Clan
na-CaeI Is About.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Late in the afternoon
the police announced that they had all the
evidence necessary to convince them that
DR.. Cronin was murdered In cottage a
short distance from the house OF Z. 0. Sulli-
van, the ice man, whose card was presented
to Cronin, and led the latter to leave home
on the night OF his disappearance. The cot
tage belongs to an old man named Carlson
who lives on the rear Of the same lot. tap
pears that young woman rented
the house and paid months
rent in advance. Persons living in the
neighborhood understand that the woman
rented 1t for her brother, but 1t was hired by
Sullivan. This adds to the suspicious cir
cumstances, because Sullivan declared he
did not hire the house, which remained un-
occupied until about the time Cronin dis
appeared. There Is one uncovered blood
stain In the front parlor. one in the back
part, and in addition. what are supposed
to have been other spots hastily and rudely
covered with paint. Carlson made the dis
covery yesterday and informed the police.
Tonight the detectives found new key in
a room of the cottage. When tried in the
lock of the mysterious trunk found by the
roadside the morning after Cronin disap-
peared, they key fitted exactly. All doubt
seems removed OF genuine connection be-
tween the prisoner, Woodruff. the doctor,
the dead body, the trunk and the blood
stained cottage.
A sensational theory has been promulgated
here today to the effect that the English gov
ernment, through its agents, may have had
something to do with the killing of Cronin,
in order to cast odium upon the Irish cause
in America.
1t is also charged here, with more or less
vigor. that the police are lukewarm about
following the case up and that some infiu-
ence is apparently aiding in keeping the
crime mystery.

NEW HAvEN's SENSATION.
Those Bank Officers Stood High
but are In Trouble Now.

NEW HAVEN, Ct, May 24.-John c. Brad
ley, cashier of the Merchants National
Bank, is said to have been under the sur
veillance of police of his residence in Fair
haven since yesterday afternoon. He is
charged with embezzlement. The bank Off
GERS decline to give any information.
LATER.
New HAVEN, Ct, May E4.-The exposure
of the financial Irregularities at the Mer-
chants National Bank today created a de.
cided sensation in business circles. The
facts developed tonight indicate that the
bank is heavy sufferer. The bottom Of the
sensation is by no means reached. Several
days ago the directors became suspicious that
something was wrong. After preliminary
examination Of the books yesterday they
placed the cashier. John C. Bradley, and AS
sistant Teller Charles w. Palmer, under po-
lice surveillance. After further investiga-
tion today they held them in custody of a
sheriff. 1t was learned that today's expose
was precipitated by the discovery of notes
amounting to about $4,000 drawn by John
e. Bassett, prominent wholesal and retail
hardware dealer, irregularly discounted by
the cashier or teller. Bassett secured the
bank by giving mortgage on real estate for
$35,O00. Other prominent merchants are
mixed up in the note discounting business
The officials refuse to make the names pub
lie. Teller Palmer made full confession of
all transactions. Palmer is interested in the
manufacture of patent medicine.
Bradley is about so years of age. He has
served several terms as councilman and al
nent in church and military circles and stood
high In business circles. Palmer is about 40
and has been with the bank nearly 20 years.

THE FLOORING GAVE WAY.
And Number OF Vehicles Narrowly
Escaped Destruction.

During the night of Wednesday. or rather.
early yesterday morning, the flooring be-
tween the first and second stories Of the
two-storied wooden building on the westerly
side of Pearl street, next to Ruby's dining
rooms and occupied by Goudy & Kent for
carriage house and stable. fell with great
crash. Some time ago carpenter put In a
new truss but 1t seems he did not make the
bearings strong enough. Since the repairs
thereon Goudy Il Kent put large load on
the upper floor, including some ten tons of
barrels. BY good fortune when the flooring
gave way, 1t met with partial support in
some way from the tops Of the new bake
wagons located in the first floor. These
were injured slightly as were one or two
other wagons. The damage to stock was
perhaps $50. The injury to the building and
storage combined will probably be several
hundred dollars. The stable was not in
jured and so none Of the horses were hurt.
No person received injury.

A man in Gorham the other day went to
the village and bought four quarts of cracked
corn for his chickens and a bottle of Jamaica
ginger for himself. He got home about mid
night, and by that time the Jamaica ginger
made him feel so ambitious that he deter
mined to feed the chickens that night. He
used lamp when he went to wake up the
chickens to take their feed. He then went
to bed. Pretty soon the neighbors saw q

the barn burned, the chickens roasted ant

The Barn was Raised Without Rum.


1t may not be generally known that the
island town of Georgetown was one of the
first battle grounds of the temperance re-
form, and yet such is the fact Rev. John
McFadden, born in 1900, of sacred memory,

champions Of the reform ever produced in
our State. 1t is now sixty summers since his
famous barn raising. the first building
known to have been raised without spirits.

land House, Saturday night, intending to
pass Sunday there, and had very amusing
experience. They had hardly reached the
place before they were attacked by band Of
the most bloodthirsty mosquitoes imaginable
which soon made life a perfect burden for
them. They stood 1t just as long as possible
and then decided that some bold move must
be made. The party had all gone out on the
train with the exception of one couple, who
fortunately had team. They were depu-
tized to drive home and send out a buck
boaId to rescue the others from destruction
This was done, and some time during the
night the entire crowd reached home, deter
mined never again to try Woodland until
later In the season. They were not entirely
destroyed. but their escape was narrow.
