CENTRAL FALLS.

John A. Adams. one of the Oldest citi-
zens Of this village and prominent
manufacturer. died last evening at his
residence, 109 Clay street. Mr.. Adams
was stricken with paralysis about year
ago. the effects OF which he never fully re-
had been gradually falling, and for the
past six months he had been connned 10
his residence.
Mr.. Adams was born in North Kings
town June 20, 1915. HIS father died when
Mr.. Adams was but years old, leaving
the mother and son almost destitute.
When IL years old Mr.. Adams went 10
work on farm, meanwhile pursuing his
studies. Five years later he removed TO
Franklin, Mass, and at once entered
factory store as clerk. subsequently ne
commenced to work in the factory. ana
was advanced to the position OF overseer.
In 1887 he came to this village. Soon
his abilities attracted attention, and in
ls42 he began the business OF making
yarns and thread with Mr.. willard as
partner Three years later this firm was
dissolved and Mr.. Adams then became
associated with Joseph Wood. They
afterwards succeeded to the business OF
On Mr.. Woods death in 1873
Mr. Adam being the only active. member
of the firm, assumed all the duties OF the
management of the business, which he
fulfilled until the disablement came upon
him.
Mr.. Adams had been interested in other
undertakings. He had served as member
of the Town Council and in both branches
of the General Assembly.

A. Des Oranges gave reception at his
studio and residence to the public last
night, having placed upon exhibition over
1000 photographs. The reception at the
studio lasted from O'Clock in the after
noon until 10 o'clock in the evening The
studio was visited by fully 1.2O0 persons.
At the residence an elegant supper was
seryed under direction of the Misses Des
Oranges, while the Natick Brass Band,
which was stationed in the parlors, furn-
ished enlivening music. The remainder
of the evening was spent in singing, reci-
tations, etc. 1t was one of the most pleas
ant gatherings in the Pawtuxet Valley.
Thirty extra calls for copies OF the NEWS
were given to the clerk in the post Office
last night.
The Ercning Bulletin of last night
stated that there was but little founda-
tion about the finding of childrens' bodies
in Natick. The account published in the
NEws-was- correct and an ia Investigation
made by the NEWS representative and
lady detailed under the direction OF the
NEWS reporter has ascertained the follow
ing facts: A lady In Natick has given
birth to four male children at different
times and the bodies Of those four infants
were buried in shoe boxes in the cellar,
under the entry of the four tenement
block on School street. The family
formerly living in the house, now resides
in Rice's yard. The horrible stencil pro-
duced, aroused the suspicious of the
neighbors and they were confirmed when
when the former tenant arrived with a
team and dug up the shoe boxes which
were placed out in front of the house.
The last child born was placed on a plate
and dumped into one Of the boxes, and a
lady of Natick had chance to see the
bodies of the infants yesterday afternoon.
The matter was to have been kept pro-
found secret, if possible. There was just
five inches of dirt over the boxes.
