of his family, consisting Of q wife and
two children.
His wife had made a formal complaint
to overseer OF the poor George W. White,
of the failure Of her husband to provide
for her, but there had evidently been a
treaty OF peace arranged between MIR.
and Mrs. Cash before they came into court
this morning. Mrs. Cash modified some
OF her previous statements and the court
let the defendant off by requiring him To
give a FOND In the sum OF 300 to provide
for his family for one month. At that
time he Is to report before the judge
again.
George Young and Nicholas Vanner
We're heard ON a warrant charging them
With the theft of q game rooster valued
at e. from Zachary Il. Whipple, Jan.
u OF this year. From the testimony it
appeared that Young and Vanner made a
call at Wh1pple's house in the western
part OF Johnston ON the evening the
fowl disappeared.
whipple's cider, mixed with whiskey,
furnished by a guest of his named smith,
who appeared as a witness for him at the
trial today, was the beverage drank by
the party during the evening. About SO
O'Clock Young and Vanner left the prem
ises, and the game rooster was discov-
cred missing from his perch soon after
ward by his owner.
Young and Vanner denied knowledge
OF the birds whereabouts. Whipple tes-
titled to several exits during the evening
OF Young from the house and other cir
cumstances that led hin to believe that
on one OF these absent periods from the
kitchen circle he secured the rooster and
took him with him hen he and his
friend departed.
Smith testified that at the old "Fen-
ner Stand" on the Plainield Pike, Young
admitted to him that he took the roos-
ter from "Zack" but would return the
bird or settle for it.
They were adJudged guilty and lined
$40 n costs.
An appeal was taken TO the higher court
and surety for costs given.
DAMAGED BY THE STORM.
The storm of last night occasioned con-
siderable damage to the highways of
Johnston, principally on The central
pike and the Killingly road.
At Merino a small fridge on Hedley
avenue was undermined n made i'm
passable.
Commissioners Walsh is out today re-
pairing the damages temporarily.
The rising Of the woonesqutucket river

BLOCKED THE ROAD.
A Wrecked Freight on the New
England System.
Serious Result was Averted by Prompt
Action.

A wrecked freight train on the central
division OF the New England Railroad,
early this morning, delayed travel for
nearly two hours. That the wreck was
not a more serious affair is due to the
caution displayed by Superintendent j.
N. King in disseminating fast freight
No. 13l, and sending it ont as an extra
with pre-emptory order, to run slowly
and with caution. Early yesteroa' after
noon the severe storm had washed the
gravel from a high EN- bankment opposite
the Sterling Dye orks, Sterling, conn,
on to the tracks OF the New England road,
blocking travel and necessitating the
employ ment Of n large force OF men, lats
into the night. All trains east OF the
washout were side-tracked at Oneco, Just
over the State lire, in connecticut, the
last train for the West passing tho point
about midnight, and encountered no
obstacles. About O o'clock this morning
extra freights, drawn by Engire No l16,
engineer keenan and conductor Graves,
passed the washout nv Sterling safely, but
on reaching the switch wet Of Onrco,
the engine and 10 cars left the track and
ploughed up the ground Tor 200 feet, COM
pletely demclishing the engine end five
or six cars. Fortunately no one was hurt.
A wrecking train left this city atout
s O'Clock I'm charge Of Superintendent
King. A track was built around the
wreck and travel resumes. 10 Is probable
that n searching Investigation will be
held TO dcte mine the cause OF the acct
dent.

pointing up westward and then in a

POWERS BILL OPPOSED.
REPRESENTATIVE BELL OFFERS
A MINORITY REPORT ON
THE MEASURE.
He Recommends That the Debt be Elk

the Rate of Interest is Too Low.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-Repre-
sentative Bell, Of Texas. a member Of
the committee on Pacific railroads, to-
day presented to the house a minority
report against the Powers bill. He op-
posed the bill OF the ground that 1t
proposes to increase the Indebtedness
of the Pacific roads, which is covered
by the first mortgage, and a prior lien
to the government lien, by SIG. 000, 900
and to make the government lien sub
ordinate to this increased indebted
ness. He asserts that while under the
Powers plan the companies would at
tempt to secure the government by a
second lien, If the government shall
be obliged to take possession of the
property, as he predicts 1t would be
eventually. under the Powers bill, 1t
would have to assume an additional
debt Of SIC, 900, 900.
He holds that property on which the
government would be given a second
lien would be worth less than the
amount Of the first mortgage. Mr..

San Francisco. Dec. 1l.-Mrs. Sarah

Cooper. were found dead in their home
in this city this morning with the gas
jets turned on and with every indica-
ton chat gas was used for intentional
death on the part OF both
Mrs. Cooper was president of the
Kindergarten Association of Schools
and her daughter was deputy superin.
tendent of the same organization. Mrs.
Cooper had lived here for 80 years and
was widely known as IN educator, phil

president of the Women's Suffrage as.

officer of the Woman's Christian Tenn,

had taught the largest bible class in
the city in connection with the First
Congregational church, her class num-
bering several hundred adults.
She was also assistant pastor of the
church under the pastorate of DR.. C. O.
Brown.
The will of Mrs. Cooper has been
found in her library. and in a will writ
ten yesterday she requests the bodies
of herself and daughter to be
not taken to the morgue.
The Coopers had lived entire
ly alone. except for a Chinese cook,
who had been in their employ 20 years.
He has not yet been found. but it is
expected he can throw some light on
the tragedy. When the scandal con-

Giles was engendered by Mrs. Cooper's
statements when on the witness stand
at the church trial and Miss Cooper
was even more pronounced than her
mother in opposition to Brown. This
action of the Coopers e%stranged many
old friends and the suicide of mother
and daughter is ascribed to brooding
over the GOODNESS and snubs from
former friends.
HAD BEEN WORRIED.
Mrs. Cooper was representative and
of late has been much worried over the
illness of her daughter, who has been
suffering from nervous prostration,
caused by the outcome of the church
troubles.
No oma on the Pacific coast has
been so prominent for a generation as
Mrs. Cooper. who has often preached
in Congregational pulpits and has been
engaged in all departments of Chris
tan work. She formerly resided in
New Orleans, and acted as nurse dur
ing the war. Her husband and other
children died in New Orleans. Her
tragic end has caused an immense sen.
sation in the city.
The room in which the bodies were
found was fun of escaping gas. which
physicians who were called say had
undoubtedly caused asphyxiation. The

MORE CONFIRMATION.
Maceo's Private Physician Confirms
the Report of His Death.

Havana, Dec. 11.-Dr. Zertucha, the
personal physician of Antonio Maceo,
who, after surrendering to Col. Tort at
Sam Felipe, furnished confirmation OF
the reported death of the great Cuban
leader, has given to the press in an
Interview at Melena del Sur additional
facts in connection with the case. It
seem that Maceo and his companions
did not cross the trocha or military
line OF Pinar del Rio in the sense they
understood. They passed from Pinar
del Rio into Havana province by sea in
an open boat, five trips being required
to take the whole party from Pinar
del Rio to near Banes, this province,
and as the boat Banes would only hold
eight men in addition to it's handlers,
Maceo's paryt was composed of 40 men
only. The night was dark and stormy.
Maceo was accompanied by Miro, an
other important insurgent leader, and
others OF his staff. They landed near
Banes and shortly afterwards occurred
the encounter with Spanish troops, re-
sulting in the alleged death of the Gu.
ban chief.
In spite of official accounts Of the
death Of Meaco and Francisco Gomez,
there are many here who refuse to
credit the report. Some doubt has
been thrown upon the statement that
DR.. Zerntucha was the personal physi.
clan Of Antonio Maceo. He said he
succeeded DR.. Hernandez as Maceo's
physician after the latter's death. II
Is officially stated here today that Miro,
The insurgent leader. who accompanied
Antonio Maceo out of Pinar del Rio,
was also wounded by the side of the
great Cuban solder, and that Alberto
NOdar, Alfredo justin. Roman Ahu-
NADIA and Gordon, all staff officers Of
Maceo. were wounded. Business on
the Bourse has been suspended in Or
der that the members may indulge in
manifestations of joy at the death OF
Antonio Maceo. A dispatch from Ma
tansas stated that local guerrillas there
killed the insurgent leader, Major Juan
Pablo Toro. Advices from Palma,
Santa Clar province, say the local
guerrilla force there killed another
noted insurgent leader, Hestor Palma.
