NEW ENGLAND TRAGEDY.
Triple Murder the Work of a Maniac
Hired Man.

PASCOAG. r. l., April IA tragedy was
enacted early this morning at the home Of
Edward Reynolds on the Elisha Matthew
son place, near Sweet Hill. in the town of
Oakland. Mrs. Reynolds, her husband and
an adopted daughter, Servilla, were brutally
murdered and the house was then set on fire,
presumably to cover the crime Martin
Mowry, the hired man employed by the Rey-
nolds, who is undoubtedly a raying maniac,
found hiding in barn near Oakland,
and at once placed under arrest.
The neighbors were aroused by the fire.
On reaching the house it was found securely
fastened, with doors bolted and windows
locked. They effected on entrance, and in
so doing found evidence of a murder, with
arson to hide the crime. Mrs. Reynolds
body mutilated and blood-stained was tax
en- from her bed by those who were the first
to enter the house. The flames from that
part Of the house spread so quickly that
a search for the other members of the fam
lily, who were supposed to be there, could
not be made. Hours afterward when the
ruins of the house had sufficiently cooled.
the charred bodies Of Mr. Reynolds and the
young girl were found. In the meantime
the local and state police had been search
ing for Mowry. the hired man, and he was
found in the barn, chattering unintelIigibly
From the position of the bodies it is believed
that Reynolds was called to his daughters
room by some unusual sound and that when
he reached the side of the bed he received his
death blow. At that time Miss REYNOLDS was
probably killed. The murderer, it is sup
posed, then went to Mrs. Reynolds room, and,
after stabbing her twice in the face, bat
tered her head in with some blunt weapon
When MoWry left the house he went to the
woods, where he shot himself in the head.
The bullet only stunned him. however, and he
did not repeat the attempt. The revolver
with two chambers empty. was found in his
possession. Mowry was willing to talk after
his arrest but from his appearance and man
ner Of expression It seemed clear that he was
insane.

at all in proportion to the demand. we
cannot anticipate any marked degree
of success for the secretary's efforts.
But Mr.. Wilson shared the opinion Of
his fellow partisans that Mr.. Morton
was a very evil-minded man, who knew
nothing of farming by conventions and
planting by platforms, and, conse-
quentfy, there must have been things
done during his incumbency that form
the contents of what is usually CALLED
a mares nest. In fact it may be con-
sidered a part of the functions Of the
department Of agriculture to discover
farming that has not received the at
tention hitherto that it's Importance de-
serves. Farming might be proftably
diversified if the mares nest industry
could be fully developed. So Mr.. VIII
son found one. The statistician Of his
department wanted some more clerical
aid in mailing out a pamphlet whose
publication Mr.. Morton had authorized.
ed to be done, Of course, needed looking
into, and the secretary ordered copy
brought him. One correspondent in
forms his readers that the secretary
found that this pamphlet was prepared
by one Thomas G. Shearman, of Brook
Ign, and was entitled Local Taxation
as Affecting Farms" Reading into it
the secretary was Mortified to find that
it contained an exposition of the doc
trine of the single tax as applied to
farms. The secretary did not know
what to do. To send it out now might
give the impression that this pernicious
doctrine was being spread among
farmers by this administration, which,
every one knows, favors just as many
taxes on as many things as possible.
The veracious and sympathetic cor
respondent advises the country that the
secretary sis inclined to smooth the
matter over as best he can with the
policy Of his predecessor" and that his
! first impulse was to suppress the whole
edition Of 100000 copies. But "Tama
JIM has not served his apprenticeship
in practical politics for nothing, and
he finally decided to let the issue go
out, but, in order to contrast the excel
lence of the methods and policy of
the present administration of his Of
flee with the pernicious mischievous-
ness of his predecessors, he would
have the pamphlets plainly carry the
notification that they were prepared
for Mr.. Morton. We are sincerely glad
that, for once, political astuteness and
public benefit go hand in hand, for, If
! there is anything that the farmers of
this land need to know more than
| another, not excluding mares nests
and their contents, it is about the sys-
! TENS of taxation whose greatest uncon-
! scious victims they are. And we are
especially glad that the farmers who
may receive these pamphlets will be
fully warned that they were prepared
for and authorized by Mr.. Morton,
| than whom the American farmer never
had truer friend in the agricultural
| department

these. The committee feels that
the miners will be glad to assist in
making an exhibit of the mineral
resources of the state without ex
pecting prizes. They are SO directly
interested, and it would be SO diff

petition, that it is not thought best
to undertake to give awards in this
department.
