TOWN FARM TRUSTEES, REPORT.

An Accounting Rendered the Board of
 Selectmen.
 The board of selectmen last evening heard the report of Burton Mansfield, treasurer of the trustees of the old town farm board. In his remarks MT. Mans field said that the trustees derived from the sale of the lots on the town farm tract, meaning that portion of the farm west of Sherman avenue, about $14O,OOO, and that the balance of the land would, by the increase in price, bring the amount up to about $500, ,000.
 All the streets were now severed, and more than half of them had been pro- vided with curbing end sidewalks. Most of the land on the streets having no walks had been sold.
 The report of the treasurer was &C., cepted and the bill of $i50 salary for the trustees was approved by the board
 The report also shows that Minot E. Chatfeld was appointed to the vacancy caused by the death of Gardner Morse, and that the board was reorganized by the election of Herbert E. Benton pres ident and Mir Chatfield secretary.
 The board approved of the new lay out of the tracts of the New Haven Street Railway company at Morris Cove. The estimates for the year were not taken up, because of the absence of Messrs. Farren and Bretzfelder.

4 SENsATIONAL SUICIDE.
George E. Taber Ends His Life in a Church
 Vestibule.

Brockton. Mass, Nov. 17.--A most sensational suicide took place in Cam pello this afternoon. George E. Taber. foreman of the sole-leather room in George E. Keith's shoe factory, killed himself ip the upper vestibule of the South Congregational church by shoot ing himself behind the ear. Mr. Ta- Der was a member of the church and the chairman of the religious commit tee of the Y. M c. A., prominent in the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Ancient Order of United Workmen
 MT. Taber left the factory about 2:30 p. m., stating that he was not feeling well, went to Alden's hardware store and purchased the revolver, stepped across the street to the church, ascend ed the stairs to the upper vestibule and there committed the deed. The report was heard by George Oldham, the jani- tor, and his son, who were at work in the rear of the edifice, and upon inyes- tigation the body was found.

STAR POTNTER'S EASY VICTORY.
Defeats Joe Patchen in Three Straight
 Heats for q &1 ,OOO Purse.


 Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-The attend ance at Belmont Park to-day to wit ness the race for S1,000 between the pacers Star Pointer, 2:031a, and Joe Patchen. 2:0S, was not so large as the attraction presented. Star Pointer won in straight heats without turning a hair. In each heat he reached the quarter and half in exactly the same time, rather remarkable coincidence. The first heat was taken by an open length, the second by three and the third by five lengths. In the second heat Patchen broke twice. The time by quarters was as follows:
 First heat-0:30R, 1:01, 1:33, 2:0412.
 Second heat-0:3012, :01, 1884, 2:051h.
 Third heat-O:3O1a, 1;O1, 1:331a, 2:06.
 The pacers Mignon and Saladin were driven two heats in their match race for $500 the former winning in 2:1615 and 2:121k. when the latter was with drawn. Mignon was then sent against her record of 2:1014 A dozen watches caught the time as 2:0S1s. Her time for the first quarter was announced as 31 seconds. The time for the fractions that followed was not announced.

 Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 1.-The gen. eral assembly of the Knights of Labor to-day took up the report of the com mittee on appeals and grievances. The case of Congressman c. G. Conn. editor and principal owner of the Washington Times, was considered at length. Mr. Conn was charged with making malicious statements about the general master workman and gen. eral secretary of the order in his paper. He was suspended by the executive sev- eral months ago and from that sen- tence appealed to the general assem- ply. As a result of to-day's deliberation Mir. Conn was expelled from the order and his paper placed upon the list of unfair papers The report of the com mittee on the state of the order was next taken up and ways of extending and strengthening the organization were discussed.
 The reading of the decisions of Gener- al Master Workman Sovereign was the first business of the afternoon session. Immediately following this was the election of officers. J. R. Sovereign was reelected general master workman with no opposition. General Secretary Treasurer Hayes was also reelected with no opposition.
 Adjourned until to-morrow.s

 Receive Recognition.
 The regular meeting of the board of police commissioners consumed less than an hour of the members time last evening.
 The case of Veteran Patrolman Pat rick Clyne, who was charged with loi- tering in yards while on duty, was con- tinued because of the absence of Con- missioners Clancey and Moran.
 Superintendent Smith offered a com munication from Captain O'Keefe of precinct 2, calling attention to the con- duct of Patrolmen Lawler and M. J. Connolly, who, after doing regular duty on the night of October IS, went to East Haven and captured Clementine Pare no, who was wanted for participating in Sunday TOW and who had escaped during the excitement. The letter also called attention to the brave action of Patrolman John Roche ill rescuing a woman and child from a burning build ing at the time of the Dorr fire on Grand avenue, October 21. The board, in accordance with the tone of the let ter, voted honorable mention of the of ficers named
 State Attorney Williams communi- cated with Superintendent Smith yes terday morning and requested him to send Detective Sergeant Cowles to San Francisco to bring back Clarke, the en- bezzling employe of Peck & Bishop. Last evening the superintendent laid the matter before the board advising that the necessary funds be taken from the unexpended balance of this year s appropriation on the assurance that it would be paid back to the city when Clarke was bound over to the superior court. The board instructed the super intendent to confer with the corpora tion counsel as to whether the money could be so used. Some of the mem bers were not quite sure that they had the power to make the transfer of the funds.
 The superintendent was instructed to detail Sergeant Cowles and he will go to Hartford for the necessary papers to-day, intending to start on his jour ney immediately. If the city does not accede to MT Williams request he will furnish the funds from the state treas ury at once

 q am grateful for this kind of ex- pression and desire to take this oppor- tunity to heartily thank my many friends ill this state and throughout the country, who have written me in the same vein. I desire, however, to state that I am not only not candidate for any office, state or national, elective or appointive, of any nature whatever, but that should not accept any office were it rendered me. My business in- terests demand and must receive my entire attention. I shall take the same interest in the welfare of the party in the future that I have in the past, but my efforts for it will be those of pri- vate citizen who desires for reward only the consciousness of duty done i'll a great cause.

 Amount is Secured.
 Boston, Nov. T.-In response to in- quiries a statement has been ,naue by Attorney General Knowlton, assignee of the estate of President E. H. Capen of Tufts. Of the whole amount of President Capen's indebtedness, $62.320, Mr. Knowlton says that $33. 800 is secur- ed. Of the $28,520 unsecured g, GOO was for inducements for his brother, Joel Capen of Stoughton; s17,000 was for in-s dorsernents for the Stoneham Gas Light company, leaving s4,420 private rnse- cured indebtedness.
 The latter represents indebtedness for which MT. Capen has not received per- sonal benefit. The inducements for the Stoneham Gas Light com pany are largely renewals of notes outstanding when he was chosen president of he company. The company was unsuc- cessful and the burden of all the in- debtedness fell upon him. In regard to his inducements for Joel Capen. ir was supposed at the time they were made that his brother was solvent: subse- quently, however his affairs became involved, and President Capen was left to carry the indebtedness. In regard to the claim of the trustees of Tufts, MT. Knowlton stated that it was arn- ply and fully secured by inducements, and neither the college nor the trustees would lose anything by President Ca pens failure.
