While Mr.. f. G. Perry and Miss
Louise Craik were returning from
an entertainment at the Arsenal last
Friday night, about II o'clock, a
wagon driven by a negro named
Chas. Embry, collided with theil

throwing both occupants to the
ground. Miss Craik's shoulder was
dislocated, and Mr.. Perry received
several very painful injuries. Miss
Craik was driven to the residence o
DR.. Robt. Pillow, where her shoulder
was reset, and, we are glad to repOr
that she has been improving steadily
since. Mr.. Perry is still confined t
his room, his bruises being very
painful but not dangerous. w,

Academy was badly defeated by Bates
College, Saturday afternoon, the score
being 80 to 0. The sturdy sons of Maine
had things all their own way. They
gained around both ends and at every
point In the line. Only twice could Ex-
eter hold her opponents for downs, and
except at the KICKOFF the ball was never
in Bates territory.
1t was by far the poorest exhibition of
football by the academy boys seen on the
campus this year. Bates used several of
her linemen to rush the ball. and her two
giant guards, Bruce and Saunders, sell
dom failed to make good gains through
the line. The college men were much
heavier than Exeters, and their inter-
ference was excellent. Every Bates man
played with great snap and life, in
marked contrast to the listless playing of
their opponents.
Purinton showed the greatest skill in
managing his team, and his fine indi-
vidual work at quarter was a strong feat

day evening. The drain-pipe In question
Is the only outlet from the bath tub In
which Thorn is said to have cut the muir
dered mans throat In the house itself
were found in the surface and embedded
in the walls.
Since his arrest, Thorn, it is alleged.
has made a confession and the authorities
in Long Island City discovered the COM
promising letter which he tried to swal.
low. The letter showed an intention on
the part of both the man and woman to
cheat the law by committing suicide.
While they were confined in the Tombs
prison 1t was impossible for them to com.
municate with each other, but since they
were transferred to the Queens county
Jail they seemed to have been able to ex
change correspondence. District Attor-
ney Olcott of this county, and District At
torney Youngs of Queens county, after
due elaboration decided that it was be-
ter to try the case in Queens county as
the murder was alleged to have been com
mtted there. although the plot was con-
cocted in New York.
Thorn, IL is said told a fellow prisoner
that he would have completed the lob,
as he termed it. beyond the possibility of
detection, if Mrs. Mack had not been too
hurried about the disposition Of the yari-
Gus portions of the body. On the ,the-
hand, it is said that Mrs. Mack in letter
to her paramour had told him that he
talked too much.
An instance of his talking capacity is
given in statement made by Frank f.
Clarke, who was Thorn's cellmate in the
Tombs. According to Clarke. the alleged
murderer having drank some whiskey
supplied TO Clarke incidentally. became 80
communicative as to tell him that he had
thrown Guldensuppe's head which has
not yet been recovered, into clump of
bushes near the Woodside cottage, that
from there 1t was removed by friend of
Thorn's. who afterward dropped It over
board near the fishing banks Off Long
Branch. from the fishing boat J. B.
Schuyler, which. by the way, was burned
TO the waters edge few weeks ago.
Clarke's story is considered reliable, and
it is said that the friend who disposed of
the head is Thorns brother-in-law and
will be produced at the trial as a witness
for the prosecution.
