PRESIDENT LEE REcONSIDERS.
He viii Offer Again, to the Delight of the
Whole ]. P. A.


The membership of the Travellers Pro-
tective association throughout the Unit
ed States will be as greatly pleased as
they will be surprised to learn that Presi-
dent John A. Lee will again be candi-
date for the presidency of the organiza-
ton.
Several months ago he announced that
he would not again be candidate for
the office which he has filled for the past
three years with such conspicuous abili-
ty, and, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was repeatedly urged to reconsider
the matter he remained steadfast in his
determination.
The members of Missouri division, real
izing that the best interests of the asso-
citation demanded that the national presi-
dent be resident of st. Louis, thereupon
asked John G. Wilkinson, one of the most
prominent and capable members of the
organization, to stand as Missourfs can
didate for the presidency Mr.. Wilkin-
son gave his tacit consent and was in
dorsed by Missouri and his candidacy
proclaimed.
Recently, however, 1t has been rumored
that considerations of both business
and physical nature might prevent Mr..
Wilkinson from allowing his name to go
before the Terre Haute convention, and
these rumors finally developed into a
reality.
Mr.. Wilkinson gave as his reason the
voice of the fireside, the desire of his bus
mess associates and the warning of his
physician
The delegates elected to represent the
Missouri division in the coming conven-
ton interceded with President Lee to
again allow the use of his name for the
office, which he has concluded to do
This means that there WILDE no opposing
candidate. Mr.. Lee has made an efficient
officer, and the members Of the associa-
tion everywhere will hear with pleasure
that he has given his consent to again
serve as president of the association.

pRoBABnE MURDER AND SUICIDE
A Seventeen-Year-O Youth Shoots Hts
 Mistress and Then Himself.

Mistress ana Inen H1mseh.
 Plymouth, N. H., Dec. 16-Harry Frizzle, aged nineteen years, and son of William Frizzle of this place, shot Mrs. Edith Caldon Young, aged about thirty eight years, and then himself. Neither is expected to live Mrs. Young was keeping the Central house and young Frizzle, who is a relative by marriage, has been stopping with her for the past few days. No trouble was known to exist between them, nor can excessive intoxication be charged against either, as the people about the house at noon did not notice anything wrong. Neither did the first corners af- ter the tragedy see any evidence of a spree, as the house was in a very or derly condition.
 The only persons about the house at the time were Thomas Robinson and a little girl of the name of Ruth. They heard the shots, and Robinson appear ing on the scene, found Frizzle in the hall. He did not make an investiga- tion. but started for a doctor. When they returned they found both victims on the bed in a room out of the hall. An Investigation showed that Mrs. Young was shot in both ears and Friz- gle had shot himself twice in one ear and made an attempt to put a bullet in his breast.
 The wounds were made with a No 22- calibre revolver that was found in a room on the opposite side of the hall with five chambers empty. Mrs. Young and young Frizzle were both in a semi conscious condition, and so the cause of the terrible deed can only be sur missed from the following letter that was found on the floor and was written by Frizzle:
 Tt Is just o'clock now and in f1f- teen minutes Ede and I will be both dead. Perhaps you will think I am drunk or crazy, but I am neither. l never felt better in my life, but Ede says she will die rather than have me leave her, so we have decided to die together From Harry and his darling Ede Goodbye to all

Heavy Damageat Plymouth.

Plymouth, Mass. Dec 16.--The worst storm seen about these parts for many years has been raging all night, and now shows no signs of abating. Snow is falling fast, and the wind is blowing a gale from the northeast The harbor is one seething mass of foam, and the tide is very high, washing up over the wharves All along the streets are limbs of shade trees, and chimneys have been blown off in many parts of the town The top of the piazza of the Samoset house was blown off. Along Water street the telegraph and tele- phone poles are down, and the service is crippled.
 Last night there were number of fishing schooners at anchor in the low CT harbor, and early this morning the Lucy Devlin of Gloucester parted both of her anchor chains and touched on White Flat, and then came Into the wharves at great speed, striking a schooner hauled up for the winter and breaking in her stern. She then ran up into the dock and her boWsprit was forced through a building, but she is now lying at anchor near the Plymouth iron foundry not much damaged.
 The Annie Lee, a schooner that was wintering alongside the wharf, broke away and drifted around the dock, do- ing some damage Great fear is mani fested for the other schooners that last night were in the lower harbor. One ran up near Clarks Island, but nothing is known of the others. At the head of Plymouth Beach great damage was done The sea washed the seaweed up over the electric railway tracks, and the band stand at Beach park was washed away. Much damage was done to the smaller cottages and breakwater in the vicinity.

Members of Home Market Club Working
 to Accomplish Its Enactment
 Washington, Dec. 16--Four members of the Home Market club of Boston ar- rived here to-day to consult with Rep resentative Dingley, the chairman of the ways and means committee. The four members are Hon. Charles $. Stott of Lowell, president, and Colonel Albert A. Clarke of Wellesley secretary of the club; Frank D. Clark of Lawrence, and MT. Shaw of Quincy.
 The purpose of their visit is to secure the cooperation of MT. Dingley in the passage through the senate of the Dingley bill, now before that body. It is their expectation that if the Ding ley bill should become a law at this session it would prevent the large im- portation of foreign manufactures, which are anticipated, while the pro- posed tariff bill is still before congress. They also believe that the Dingley bill can, if vigorously pressed, be put through the senate.

M4NGNO STIRRED IND KILLED.
An Inoffensive Italian Resents an Insult
 in Sanguinary Fashion.

in Sanguinary Fashion.
 Boston, Dec. 16.-In Somerville this afternoon Charles w. Prescott, twenty four years of age, unmarried, employed by the city as driver of an ash cart, was killed by an Italian named Carlos Mangno, aged about thirty years. who runs a. little cobble shop at 262 Lowell street. Mangno has always been an in offensive fellow, and his shop has been a loating place for young fellows in the neighborhood.
 This afternoon John A. Kelly, Daniel Mcclellan and young Prescott went into the shop for the purpose of having some innocent amusement with the cobbler They carried their fun too far, and the Italian became exasperat- ed. Then they suggested that the Ital- ian be carried outside and ducked in the snow This was done, the Italian fighting and screaming all the while. Mangno finally eluded his tormentors and, rushing into his shop seized a double-barreled gun loaded with bird shot and fired at Prescott, who was nearest, put 1dIleu lo SlElhe nlIn.
 Then he rushed back to the shop, fol- lowed by the three young men, and awaited them with knife, for which he had discarded his gun. As Prescott came up he struck Mangno in the face, and the latter retaliated with a vicious thrust which buried the knife blade to the hilt in Prescott's breast. Despite his injury. Prescott continued a deadly struggle with the Italian, and was bad ly cut on the hands in attempting to ward off the Italians blows. During the entire time of the struggle neither man said a word. The affair lasted but a few seconds and Prescott was breath ing his last before his companions and several others, who had been attracted by the discharge of the gun, had reach ed the shop.
 Mangno was soon placed under ar rest. and he will be arraigned to-mor- TOW.

Tonight they are being cared for at the Hull life saving station. Soon after the men were taken off the schooner broke In two and she will be total loss.

Will Not be in the Cabinet.

that Senator John Sherman will not be a member of the cabinet His feeling is that he can be of more service to Major Mckinley's administration and to the republican party by remaining in the senate, and he will be a 1andi- date for reelection. Mark Hanna said to a friend yesterday that more than eight thousand citizens of Ohio had filed applications for appointment to federal offices under the Mckinley ad- ministration. It is thought the number will reach twelve thousand.

In Gloucester Harbor.

Gloucester, Mass, Dec. 16.-Brig Ernestine of Portland, from Jewett's Cove with ice at anchor in the harbor, dragged ashore to-day on Rocky Neck and an unsuccessful effort was made by a. tug to haul her off. The damage, if any, will be slight, but a portion of the cargo may have to be discharg ed in order to float her. She is 400 tons, built at Yarmouth, Me, in 1868.
