N. E. ASSEMBLY.
Brotherhood OF ST. Andrew Meets
in This City.
Reports Made and a Board Of Officers
Elected for The Year.

The business meeting of the New Eng
land Assembly Of the Brotherhood OF ST.
Andrew was held at 1t. Johns parish
house this morning.
The nun Der Of delegates was large and
while only az Of the 129 chapters were
prsresented, the reports OF the diocesan
secretaries showed tnst the members OF the
brot othsrhood were fully alive to the i'm
portance OF their work.
The reports Of the secretaries were full
OF ideas for the beneht of the brotherhood
and the good points brought out were
very warmly appreciated by the delegates.
The report of the treasurer was not as
satisfactory as might be seen from the
fact that only about one-third Of tho
chapters of the brotherhood had re-
sponded to his invitations to attend the
essen bly,. There were reports read how
ever, that showed the members OF the
brotherhood were fully equal to the de-
msnds upon them of local nature.
The officers that under the provisions OF
thegconstitrtiop of the brotherhood were
to be elected at this time then took place.
William &. Newell of Winsted, Conn.,,
was elected treasurer; Charles K. Smith
was chosen secretary and Rev. Floyd W.
Tomkins, Jr., electe chaplain.
The greetings Of the assem- bly, were sent
to Bishop Clark who after many years
of devotion to the brotherhood is now
almost at the opening OF the gates OF
eternal life. The question of the place Of
holding the next annual convention was
next taken NJ. Frederick M. Townsend
OF Portland, Maine, delivered a very
happy address In which he spoke of the
great advantages the meeting OF the as
sembIy would be to the church In Msiue.
His speech was clever In many respects
and Notwithstanding a powerful claim
maze for New Bedford the convention
ydted unanimously TO hold the next an
nual meeting at Portland. Hon. Rath-
bone Gardner presided at todays's meet
ing. motion to print the records Of the
assem- bly, in pamphlet form was amended
so that the record shall appear In the ct.
| Andrews Cross. The meeting of the con-
vention was followed by the conference
at which entertai ming and instructive
papers were read on "Hotel work" by
+. A. Gaylord of Boston. on al House to
House Visiting" by Rev. Edward l..
Atkinson of tbs same city and on "Coun-
| try Chapters" by Rev. James b. Thomas
| of Conasset, Maine.
vote OF thanks was unspim m ously
passed to the mem bers of the brother
hood in this city who had so generously
entertained the mem bers Of the conven-
.tion. At IL noon prayer was offered and
this afternoon papers were read by Samuel
Fiulsy Jones Of Boston. John Seely Ward,
Jr., of New York and John W. Wood,

Declares That it Was Faultless as 1t
Deserved to Be.

London, Feb. 22.-The Fell Mall Gazette
this afternoon, publishes long article
upon the mission of Senator Edward o.
wolcott to Europe. 1t concludes with
ssying, "Tbere is no evidence that Mr..
Mckinley is in sympathy with Senator
Wclcotl's mission. Every effort to dis
cover the fsintest evidence that his visit
to Europe has even unofficial sanction has
failed. Senator Wolcott came as a private
advocate of cause discredited by a
majority of his fellow w-countrymen. Under
such circumstances TO expect he would
receive official support from the foreign
opponents of such a cause required de-
gree of child-like sympathy, rare any
where ano which no one would expect to
tind in CoIordo. On his return Senator
Wolcott will lind that the newspapers
alone will display any anxiety regarding
the result of his personally conducted
European tour. He hss met many dis
tiuguished people in England, France and
Germany; but in moi one Of these cases
did he find that bi-metsllism was con-
sidered necessary to It's welfsre. Th
missicn was absolutely fruitless, and was

Mystery Surrounds Falls
Village Tragedy.
The Fatal Revolver Did Not
Belong to Mrs. Chaplin.
Funeral of One of the Victims Took
Place This Afternoon.

Falls Village, Conn.,, Feb. 2.-The
Chaplin Mead murder and suicide has by
no means been satisfactorily solved and
new theories constantly spring up, and
are finally exploded. AT o'clock this
town was thrown into more excitement
by the announcement that Medical Ex-
aminer Francis Skiff had not satisfied
himself with the previous investigation,
and felt called upon to renew his exsmi-
alton into the case and had again sum-
moneo Coroner Richard L. Higgins, Of
Winsted. Mr.. Skiff said today: "This
tragedy Is still surrounoed by mystery.
We thought at first that the revolver by
which the shooting was done was one
which had been in the possession OF
Mrs. Chaplin, but / have learned that
such is not the case. Now We are trying
to ascertain to whom the weapon be-
lopged." "Do you have any suspicion
tnat outside parties were involved Ia this
tragedy" was asked.
DIR. Skiff answered Snow / cannot
answer that question further than to say
that the mystery remains and that
il is gossiped that some other explanation
than Mesd's murder of the woman and
his subsequent suicide may be offered"
The funeral services over the remains oi

death early Saturday morning and by
whose dead body was found the corpse oi
Charles Il. Mead took place here at two

Died From Overwork.

Chicago. Feb. 22.-Albort W. Landon, score
tary of the Illinois Humane Society and for
"a years editor Of the Human Journal, died
at his residence in this city last evening, aged
81. The cause of death Is principally attribut-
ed TO ovcrworlS. Mr.. Landon achieved fame by
breaking up the inhuman system practiced
for years at the stock yards, by cattle shippers
OF allowing the animals TO stand in the pen
from Saturday to Monday without water. BY
this process IL was believed that an abnormal
condition was created, and that giving the
famished animals quantities OF water Monday
morning increased their weight.

AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.
Death of Mr.. Fred A. Manson OF
Pleur0 Pneumonia.
One Of the Best Known and Most Com
p:tent Printers Passes Away.

After brief iliness, Mr.. Fred A. Man
son, for nearly decade one of the best
known and most competent printers in the
city, died at his home, No. 55 Rosedale
street last night. A little more than a
week ago Mr.. Manson was attacked by
la grippe and this later developed In
TO pleuro pneumonia and resulted fatally.
Mr.. Manson was born in Lawrence,
Mass. thirty two years ago. He learned
the printers trade on The American of
that city, and early In his career dis
played an aptitude and ability that was
regarded as unusual. Nearly ten years ago
Mr. Manson came TO Providence and
made this city his permanent home.
During his residence here he was en-
ployed on The journal and Bulletin, The
Evening Telegram and on The News, OF
which he was the assistant foreman at the
time of his death, and in every position
held by him he rendered faithful and
efficient service and won the confidence
of his employers and the respect and
esteem OF his fellow craftsmen.
His nature was Gunny and cheerful and
NV sporitiou W po hoipiui W Ms ioA-
lows. He had ready cympathy for those
in need which was not expressed by
words but in manner more substantial
and serviceable. Among his associates
he had none but firm friends who by
personal conduct In the daily round of
business had learned TO appreciate bis
sterling character. A short time ago by
the death of Mr.. Augustus Manson of
Bangor, Me-, MIR. Manson became heir TO
considerable property and his friends
were then as joyful over his deserved
fortune as they are now sincerely sorrow
ful at mis- untimeiy and unexpected de-
mise. Mr.. Manson left widow and two
sons, both of whom are attendants at the
public schools. His funeral will take
place tomorrow from his late home at
No. 55 Rosodsle street, at 2:30 p. m. The
interment will be at the place OF his
birth, Lawrence, Mass.
