Suicide at Alburgh,

Clement w. Eddy, a young bust
ness man of Alburgh, shot himself
on Sunday evening, the deed being
done in the presence of his wife and
mothcr-n-law. He used 32-calibre
revolver, the bullet entering his right
temple. The cause of his suicide is
attributed to worry over financial at-
fairs and to financial troubles. He
was ,6 years old.
Trageday seems to hover about
that vicinity. 1t was only a few
miles from Alburgh that the Eddy

Some changes in the map OF Mas
ka will result from the explorations
made by gold hunters last summer.
These plospectors made two very
interesting discoveries, says the New
York Sun. One was that there is 4
break at least $50 to 2oo miles long
in the range of the Alska Monn-
tains, the northern continuation Of
the Rocky Mountains. This range
has, for years. been shown on orr
maps in unbrokcn continuity, cX-
tending to the sea and then far out
into the ocean as the Alaska PENN
sula. But our proSpcctors found
that for $50 miles inland from Mt.
Sushtna on Cooks Inlet there are
no mountains where the Alaska
range has appeared on the maps.
On the contrary, broad level coun-
try, heavily timbcred with spruce
and birch, stretches to the westward
as far as can be seen from points on
the low mountains east of the Su-
shitna river.
The other discovery WAS Il tower

DartmOuth's Athletic Team

The last entries for Dartnouth's
athletic team have been made and
t he men haze bc@tu their winter )
training. The squad i Il large one.
the candidates numbering about Fifty.
but the men have .otto do the hardc> t
kind of work to develop Il winning
team. For the past two years the
championships in the New England
meet at Worcester have come easily.
and the tri-coleyiatc championship
at Hanover last May was also won
with little effort, but everything is
different this year, and it remain, to
be seen whether Dartmouth git will
overcome the obstacles.
The great handicap under which
the team works this season is the los,
of Stephen Chase, '96, the world
wide known hurdlcr. This man
was the best al-around athlete Dart
mouth ever had, and was sure of IS
points in any meet. He leaves no
one who can begin to fill his place.
Next to him, Dartmouth loses Guy
l.. Gary, 9S, the champion bicycle
rider, who has determined to give
up riding entirely. Gary IS almost
as we'll known as Stephen Chase, as
he was once worlds record man
himself.

The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-01-04

This morning the good ship, the City OF
Pawtucket, started out on its eleventh an
nual VOYAGE on the municipal sea. There
were no fireworks nor booming of cannon.
Dignitaries in holiday attire were the only
evidence of the launching. The new cap
tain has never trod the quarter deck OF the
good ship before, but his position on the
ship of State makes him well quail
fed to see that the voyage is most sue
cessful one. Several of the crew never
handled a rope before, but there Is every
reason to feel that they will discharge with
credit to themselves the duties incumbent
upon them.
Not much time was lost in making the
change. The ship was in port only long
enough to land Capt. Tiepke and the re-
firing members, Messrs. Watson, Harrop
and Brown of the First Ward, Gates and
Dawson of the Third Ward and Alderman
Delany and Councilman Easterbrooks OF
the Fourth Ward. Then the lines were
cast loose and the proud little vessel swung
out once more into the channel with many
a godspeed from those on the wharf.
AS the ship sailed away Capt. Davis
could be seen holding the wheel with an
expression that betokened familiarity with
the shoals and other unseen obstacles that
Law in the way and everybody predicted
pleasant voyage.

The Inaugural Exercises.
After the Mayor-elect and the retiring

were all present and the only absentee
among the Councilmen was Henry s. Phil

had called the roll, the oath of Office was
administered by Mayor Tiepke to Mayor
elect Davis, and at the conclusion intro
duced him to the members of the City
Council as the new Mayor of Pawtucket.
The new Mayor then administered the
oath to the Aldermen and Councilmen in
turn, and called upon Rev. Alexander
McGregor, pastor of the Pawtucket Con-
gregational Church, to invoke the divine
blessing. In his prayer, Mr.. McGregor
offered thanks for blessings bestowed in
days past, and invoked blessings on the
President of the United States, his success
or and the prosperity of the land.

divine aid to, and the blessings of God
upon the Government of this State, the
Mayor, Aldermen, Councilmen and those
in charge of the affairs of this city,
Mayor Davis then delivered his message
which is given in full on the eighth page
