own in this contest with the years.
In 1875 the men constituted 31.3 per
cent. of the nonagenarian group; in
1885 only 1913 per cent, and in 1895
29.5 per cent.
The easier life of the time, the short
er hours of labor, the greater atten-
ton given to bodily health, and the
advance made in medical science and
sanitation may be gradually raising
the average age OF man, but the effect
is not yet observable in an absolute
enlargement of the nonagenarian
group in Massachusetts,. The per-
centage of increase in their num-
bers since 1875 is just about the same
as the increase in the total popula-
ton. In 1875 the persons 90 years and
more of age constituted about 6-1OO of
one per cent; in 1885 it was just TOO,
a slight gain, but in 1895 the per-
centage falls again to about 6-1OO.-

OLD AGE IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Late Statistics Show That women

Late Statistics Show That women
There Outrank Men in Longevity.
The census of 1895 reveals the pres
e1ice of IS -centenarians in the state.
Eighteen of them were native and IL
foreign born, which is more than the
share of the alien born, who consti-
tute considerably less than one-half
the total population. Thirty of the
35 were women, but the oldest one of
all, Ill years, was man. The census
of 1885 found 43 persons 100 years old
and more in the state, the oldest then
likewise being III years of age. Then,
also, the women greatly outranked the
men in longevity, "a of the 43 being fe-
males.
1t is an old fact of social statistics,
however, that women in advanced age
greatly outnumber the men. The dis
parity among the centenarians is lit
tie more marked than among those
of 80 or 90 years and over. The 1895
census reports a total of 1892 persons
in the state who were 90 years of age
and over, and of this number no less
than 1,122 were women. That excess
sive proportion of the foreign born
which we find among the centenarians,
however, does not prevail in the adj
vanced ages under 100. OF the 1880
persons in the commonwealth in 1895
giving an age of so years or more,
Il, $50 were native born and only 4,13G
foreign, which indicates that the ma
tive element is not comparatively de-
fcient in vitality.
Going back 20 years to embrace the
reports of three state enumerations we
have the following figures relating to
the number and sex of persons 90 year,
old and more:

Church TRAGEDY
Murder Was Committed at

The Outcome Of Bitter fractional Fight Over
the Matter of an Expulsion.

Montgomery. Ala, July 29.-In the
First Baptist church. colored. here yes
terday, while the state congress OF the
ministers was in session, Professor r.
III. Patterson, one OF the leaders OF his
race In the South. a graduate OF she Uni
versity Of Michigan, q teacher In the
state Normal college, and highly re-
spected negro, was murdered at the al
tar. The tragedy grew out of a. bitter
factional fight between the local negro
Baptists over the expulsion OF Rev j.
T. Brown from the pastorate OF Big
church for immoral conduct with mem
ber Of his flock. Patterson led the fight
against him, and Rev A. j. Stokes, pas
tor of another church. sided with Brown.
When the state congress convened an
argument between Stokes and Patter-
son over the Brown case resulted In a
fisticuff, when some negro from the
crowd shot and killed Professor Patter-
son In front Of the pulpit. The entire
colored population Is very much wrought
up. A posse composed Of negroes cap
tured George Pritchett, and he con-
fessed to having done the shooting.
Preachers Stokes and Brown, Bracy
and Branan and five other prominent
negroes have been arrested, and a con
spiracy is charged. Lynching was
talked Of but there is every indication
that the law will take It's course.

DISASTROUS FIRE
Columbus Hall, Georgiaville,
Destroyed This Morning.
Railroad Station, Drug Store and
Barber Shop Also Ruined.
Schoolhouse and Residence Caught-Damage
Estimated at Over $4,000.

A disastrous fire visited Georgiaville
two story building containing a drug
store, barber shop and club room In addi-
tion to the hall, and the New England.
Railroad depot were burned to the ground
Other buildings caught fire but were saved.
The fire broke out about IL 80 o'clock In
the Columbus Hall building. 1t is sup
posed that 1t started in the club room. The
residents nearby were awakened by the
cracking and roaring of the flames and the
whole town was soon wide awake.
The men hurriedly dressed and sailed
forth to do battle with the flames. They
saw at once that there was no hope OF saw
ing the Columbus Hall. The confagration
was sweeping 1t from top to bottom, from
end to end, and the whole structure was
soon nothing but mass OF smouldering
timbers, the roof and sides having fallen in.
The depot, two-storied structure, was
the next to 60. The upper story was oc-
cupied by the station master, and his
family, while the ticket Office and waiting
room was on the first floor. The station
master was the first one to be aroused by
the roar of the flames, which were eating
up the hall. The depot went as fast as
the hall had when it got started, and 1t
was seen that this building, too, was be-
yond saving. 1t was almost gutted.
The schoolhouse nearby and Richard
Tobin's residence caught fire, but the
townsfolk were ready to cope with the
confiagration by that time. A line of hose
was attacked to the force pump in the
Vernon Mills, and heavy stream of water
played upon these two structures. Neither
the schoolhouse or residence suffered very
severe damage.
| 1t is estimated that the loss will reach
over S10,Cco. The hall building contained
drug store, whose contents were valued
at $200, a barber shop, upon which the loss
will probably be 800, and the club room
| fitted up at a cost Of $400.
The hall building was valued at $4,000
The depot was worth about $500.

Y. M. G. A. Summer Garden, and large
audience of both ladies and gentlemen was
present and witnessed the presentation Of
the tbree-part monologue, entitled ''The
Village Folks" by Walter David OF Bos-

sonated country characters, wherein humor
and pathos were charmingly blended.
Some of the characters impersonated
were: Silas Goodell, a warm hearted old
farmer; Abby, his maiden sister; Asa
Rowell, the meanest man in town; Henry
Clay Webster, commonly called "Mud; !"
Deacon Jackson, pillar of the church;

The heavy rain last night and early this
morning did considerable damage to the
highways and private property In all parts
of the city.
A bad washout Is reported at Log bridge
on Weeden street. Church and Tidewater
streets are in deplorable condition.
Pleasant street is covered with mud and
sand washed from Church hill.
Other streets in the city were damaged ar
well and 1t will take a considerable outlay
to repair them.
At Wilkinson Park a queer sight is pre-
sented. The sidewalk under the trees and
inside the iron fence lie about $50 dead
sparrows. 1t is supposed that the rain
washed them from the trees and they were
unable to fly back and were drowned.
The rain assumed the proportions Of a
cloudburst and prevailed from midnight
to late this morning. The rain fell in
sheets between the hours of and
o'clock, and damage impossible to esti-
! mate was done to fruit trees.
The river was swollen to noticeable ex-
tent and many of the sewer pockets were
inadequate to carry off the overflow ol
water.

Mrs. Barrett, Mother Of the Dead Girl, Gave
Testimony at the Fire Marshars Investlga'
tion Which Was Held Yesterday.

Boston, July 29.-The chief develop.
ment of yesterday in the Barrett case
was the discovery that 5000 was missing
from the safe of Goldman e. Goldman
which sum Miss Barrett was seen &c
place In a pigeon hole only few hours
before the discovery OF her body.
Fire Marshal Whitcomb questioned
Mrs. Ella M. Barrett. mother of Alic.
M. Barrett. at length, but before SHIT
would divulge the information which she
possessed he was pledged to secrecy.
Several other witnesses were also hearc
by the fire marshal, including w. G
Codmcl, who claimed that the firms
accounts were all right, and who re.
iterated his belief that his fair young
bookkeeper and typewriter had been
murdered.
The hearing was private. The wit.
nesses who appeared at the state house
were Mrs. Barrett, mother OF the dead
girl; Edward and Charles Barrett, hei
brothers; Miss Louise Meehan, heI
friend; w. IL. Foss of Somerville, and
Clerk Briggs, her associate in the office
of Goldman IL Goldman.
1t was not until the fire marshal hao
ordered the stenographer to leave the
room that the witnesses would talk
freely. Even then Mr. Whtcomb's
ability as questioner was tried to the
utmost. Much valuable testimony wa.
heard by him, however.
When asked by the newspaper men a.
the close Of the hearing ii he had heard
what he wanted to, the marshal said
he believed he could clear up the case
The inference Is that ne now knows to
whom Miss Barrett loaned the $500. In
fact, he would not deny that he knew it
The most interesting development O,
the inquest. made public, was to the
effect that there is missing, and has
been since Saturday, 5000 from the safe
of Goldman & Goldman. 1t was paid in
the morning by the Bailey estate. After
putting the money In an envelope, Miss
Barrett put 1t in the safe.

10 days illness following an attack Of apo
plexy. He was " years Of age.
About July ! Mr.. Lowell came TO the
Vineyard from his home in East Wey-
mouth. His health of late had not been
OF the best, but his friends hoped he would
benefit by the change to the salt sea air,
and for few days after his arrival at Cot
tage City he rapidly gained In strength.
On Monday, the 18th, however, he was
prostrated by severe stroke of apoplexy,
and since that time his life has wayered in
the balance.
For nearly 60 years John p. Lowell was a
well-known business man In Boston, and
his record for honesty and integrity was
irreproachable.
From small beginning he built up a
large and fiourishing business. The name
of Lowell has been prominently associated
for all these years with the gun trade, and
latterly with the manufacture and sale OF
bicycles.
In 1883 Mr.. Lowell retired from active
