A MASSACHUSETTS Woman Dead After
Keeping Indoors for Four Decades.
Three aged maiden women by the
name of Bullock died of la grippe in
Salem, Mass, recently within sixteen
days. They all lived in one house at
73 Derby street with a married sister.
who survives. Mary Bullock, aged
7s, Hannah, aged "a, and Elizabeth,
aged 76. Of Mary and Hannah it may
be said that their lives were unevent-
full, but connected with Elizabeth is a
sad and romantic history. Nearly
half century ago she fell in love
with handsome young man and had
made arrangements to be married
He was ambitious TO make his mark in
life, and if possible, secure a for
tune. She refusSd to accomna-
ny him to the West and en-
deavored to dissuade him from
going. He had made up his mind to
go, however, and urged her in every
way possible to be married, but she
firmly refused, and said that unless
he surrendered his intention of leav-
ing Salem she would never go out
doors again. Her lover went West,
made fortune, married a buxom
maiden and is now the father of an
interesting family.
For more than forty years Elizabeth
was loyal to her rash vow and never
left the house but once, and that waa
some years ago, when the old home-
stead was on fire, and she was taken
by main force from her room by the
fremen. During the first years of her
voluntary confinement her family and
friends endeavored to make her
change her mind, but all efforts and
influences were futile. So far as the
public can learn she never spoke to
anyone about her lover, yet it is ap-
parent by her demeanor for more than
four decades that she never forgot
him.

CHAIRMAN Prick A WITNESS.
Thinks the Armer Fraud Charges
a Manipulating Scheme.

There'd Have Been No Trouble.
,B, Associated rress }

WASHINGTON, July 2f--Chairman
frick, of the Carnegie Steel Company
was the witness before the Naval Com
mittce in the armor plate investigation
to-day, and attracted an unusually
large audience.
Answering questions from Chairman
Cummings Mr.. FTck told OF his CON
ncction with the Company since 1855
and asserted that he had opposed en-.
tcrng upon the work of making srmol
plate. since the Company would he AT
disadvantage and have but one Gus
toner. While the Company's output OF
1895 had been more than 100000 tons
only 300 tons WAS armor plate. II was
a comparatively unimportant branch OF
the works, and he had left the details
entirely to Supt. Hunsicker.
Regarding the penalty eNacted nv the
Government, Mir. Frlck said ha, he re-
garded the penalty levied by the Navy
Department az -xorbitant and had APP
mitted to do under law. He considered
the Presidents decision unjust in the
amput eNacted, since all the Company
had stipulated to do was to furnish the
best armor.
Like other witnesses, Mr.. Frick as.
serted that the tensile tests of plate
were of no Importance, as compared
with ballistic tests.
lie did not regard the Information tc
the Government as conspiracy on tn,
part Of former strikers for revenge, but
rather money-making scheme.
Iniormer Craig had come To him he.
fore the information was given out. in
timating that conspiracy was on foot
and giving rs his motive for the visit
gratitude towards member OF tbs
Company, who had assisted his sister in
obtaining an education.
Mr.. Prick did not go into details re-
GA riding Craig's Information to him. Ii,
told also Of visit from an unknown
elderly lady, who said she came from
Washington. and intimated that rOI
money she could give some valuable in
formation.
"If the Government inspectors ha,
done their duty there would have beer
no trouble" said the witness.
