Ann Gallagher, an unmarried woman
the home Of her sister, on Gladstone
avenue, this morning. The deceased had
been working for some time past in
Fletcher's mill, on Back street, and
worked all day yesterday. Between 8
and $3.50 O'Clock last evening she retired
and this morning, member OF her
sisters family went to call Ann at $3.50
O'Clock. Receiving no answer she opened
the door OF the room and found Ann
dead on the floor near the bed. Officer
Gilfoil was notified and he visited the
house and then notified DIR. Palmer. Miss
Gallagher some time ago was taken with
hemorrhages and went TO the Rhode Island
Hospital, from which inst tuition sho was
discharged apparently cured.
The members of the Horse Shoe Social
Club OF Asburton street had a sad expert
ence last evening. The club, though MT
as famous as some other North End or
CARNATIONS, still has large membership.
For some time it has occupied spacious
quarters that were formerly used for
dwelling purposes, and the rooms were
furnished, if not In the most luxurious
fashion, at any rate, comfortably. 1t was
the delight of the members to sit around
the one table in the clubhouse and talk
over various matters of local or national
interest Most of the members Of the club
INDUCED in the use OF tobacco and dur
ing their enjoyment OF their pipes have
told many good yarns. Politics are barred
in the club house, but ii Is we'll known
that when the Venezuelan trouble seemed
bigger than 1t Is at present the prelimi-
nary steps were taken to form a military
company and only the fact that wages
are little low at present prevented the
purchase OF ammunition and rifles of the
latest design.
But TO tell OF the present trouble of the
club: Ii was caused by an unworthy MEM
Der who some time yesterday removed the
three lamps that helped light the club
room, several chairs of rich upholstering,
the once-in-a-while-use cuspidors and
many articles of brio brac as well as the
library of the association without vote
OF the organization permitting him to do
SO.
Shortly after d. m., the earnest and
efficient treasurer Of the club, Martin
Lamb, went with another member to the
club apartments, intending to spend a
pleasant evening, and great was his dis
mag on finding the property afore de-
scribed missing. He hastened TO the Sec
ond police station, after he had sized the
situation up thoroughly, to enter a COM
plant. The organization had forgotten
one thing, namely the asking of the very
obliging legislators OF the State for
thing to do, but the contrary was proven
TO the satisfaction OF the treasurer when
Lieutenant Murray informed him that, as
the property was taken by member of
the club and it had no charter, the city
authorities could not assist in the punish
ment of the recalcitrant member.
The treasurer went away rather sor-
rowfully and after brief discussion as
to what punishment his fellow members
would mete out to the taker of their
property he went to his home in an
angry mood.
Three loogers were taken care of at the
Second police station last night.
Mrs. Richard Martin, who resides on
Gillon street, found her infant son dead
in bed yesterday morning.
Ofhcer Hayden yesterday afternoon shot
dog at 39S Douglas avenue thAt exhib-
ited symptoms of hydrophobia.
Some evilly disposed person broke
pane OF glass in one of the windows of
Doe Il Little's coal office on Randall
street. The window of j. Conbery's shoe
shop, adjoining the former, was also bad
ly smashed. he work was done at about
halfpast one yesterday morning.
Captain Mathews had quite an interest
ing story told to him yesterday and how
the story came to be told was that the
chief of police of Pittsfield, Mass, sent
letter TO Chief Baker that the bearer of
the letter was trying to locate his broth
er 8 wife. The head of the local police de-
partment sent word TO the Second Sta
tion, to the officers to try and find if
there had recently moved into the istrict
Pole and a woman and three children.
Officer Gilfoil, who knows about every
one on his beat from the youngest to the
Oldest, met a stranger yesterday after
noon on Gladstone avenue and asked
him where he lived and what his name
was. The officer knew the facts about
these two matters, but thought he would
have them confirme1 bv the gentleman
who would naturally know the most
about them. He found the person ac-
costed did not tell the truth so he went
bone with him and before the man could
speak he asked the woman in the house
the mans name and whether he came here
from Pittsield or not. The stranger tried
TO prevent the woman replying to the
officer, but the latter held his hand over
the mans mouth. The reply to the off,
GERS questions confirmed the belief that
the man was the one wanted, so he and
the wofrfan were taken TO the station.
The charges against the man are that
he left Pittsbeld, taking another mans
wife with him, and that the woman that
was arrested with him had stolen 600
from her husband. Both parties told
ordered TO leave the city. The man and
woman hired room from another Polish
family on Gladstone avenue by stating
that they were man and wife. The pur-
loiner of the wife also owed some bills in
Pittsfield that he left unpaid.
An all-day holiness meeting is being
held at the Randall Square Gospel Mission
today. The speakers this forenoon and
afternoon were Rev. Thomas Crocker and
Rev. George A. Smith. Interesting speak
ers will be present at the meeting TO be
held at 1880 this evening at the mission.

avenue, this morning, and ran down
Gladstone avenue, through Delhi and
Webster streets, and then through Chalk
stone avenue again, Charles, Mill, I'D
North Main streets as far as the front OF
Star street, where the rapidly moving ami
NAL was stopped by Lewis Donahue. On
his journey through Charles street several
parties tried TO stop the horse, but he
cleverly lodged them as well as making
some pretty escapes from collisions with
other vehicles. Mr.. Bowen generously
rewarded Mr.. Donahue. The buggy was
but slightly damaged aud the horse escap-
ed uninjured. A bundle was lost on the
