John Irwin, for Haverhill, said that
that city would not be in the league on
account of the lack of grounds, and in an
other year he hoped that Haverhill would
b; in. The gentlemen preSent spoke OF, the
situation in the various cities, and every

HoLYoKE, Mass. April 25.-The corner
stone of the nav Young Mems Christian
association building was laid Saturday
afternoon with imposing ceremonies.
President Merrill Gates of Amherst made
an eloquent address The building will
be large and very handsome edifice of

feet long and weighing a ton, temporarily
held in place by brace, gave way under
the weight of the crowd which had

Because She Feared Him.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 26 William
| f. Cunningham visited the house of Mrs.
Solomon, % Portsmouth street, yesterday
afternoon, and asked her if she would go
to the house of Miss Maggie Williams, to
urge her to come over to see him. There
was nothing especially strange in the re-
quest, as Cunningham and Miss Williams
had often met at Mrs. Solomon's all three
having been acquainted long time. Miss
Williams entered the house soon after,
and on going into the parlor with her,
Cunningham asked her to marry him.
Promptly and emphatically she answered
that she would not. After pleading with
her, he asked her if she would not at least
show by shaking hands with him that
she retained some regard for him. Miss
Williams refused to do this, whereupon
Cunningham drew revolver, firing one
bullet into her head and another over her
heart. As she fell, he fired one shot into
his own head and a second one into his
own breast.

The murderer received medical attention

about the matter, save that the woman
was killed by getting in the way while he
was trying to commit suicide.
The date for the wedding of Cunning

ham broke wooden leg which he wore,
