AN ABSURD STATEMENT.

A Belfast paper printed the following
item the other day:
"It is reported that Russell Sage has
sold the railroad from St. Stephen to st.
John to the Grand Trunk Railway COM
pany, which has secured running rights
over the new Washington County railroad
to enable them to compete with the
Canadian Pacific, with St. John as a
winter port. 1t is further rumored that
they are negotiating for the franchise OF
the old shore line route through here"
The Grand Trunk officials in Portland
say that the above story is absurd and
there cannot be any truth in the story.

"People will never get over marvelling
at the fact that in Vinol we have a form

a lady who had never before had occasion
to take it.
"I think the reason is that people who
have found it necessary to take cod liver
oil never believed it possible to find any
thing as good for wasting diseases, or as
q reconstruction, nor did they think it
possible they would ever be able to devise
a way of taking cod liver oil that would

WHAT THEY KNOW.
Officers Questioned as to John Reeds
CUSTODY

Court Officer A. A. jenkins Of Mil
ford, Deputy Sheriff w. w. Scott Of
this city, Emory c. Bacon u Oakdale.
with otheF court officers and sherifs
who were in attendance at court when
the John Reed case was first heard,
have been communicated with by the
state prison commission, and asked to
inform the board of their knowledge in
regard to the conduct and general in
cidents in the custody of John Reed
when he was brought to Worcester to
answer to the two indictments against
him.
All the court officers have been invit
ed to state their views of the situation
and the knowledge they have. which
may in a small or large degree bear
upon the key to the mystery.
1t will remembered that the Worces-
ter officers were the ones to caution
Keeper Abbott upon the freedom which
he gave his noted charge, and all adj
vised him to be more careful and not
invite any attempts to rescue the bum
co steerer, by laXity of discipline.
Further, it will be recalled that
Warden Bridges refused to hand over
Reed to Officer A. A. Jenkins when he
appeared at the state prison with u
writ of habeas corpus for Reed The
remark has often been made that il
Reed had been placed in the custody of
Mr.. Jenkins, the escape would never
have been attempted even. The inn

WANT DATE CHANGED.
Republican Club Members Don't Relish
Meeting Thanksgiving Evening.

Petitions have been in circulation
among the members of the Republican
Club of Worcester within the past few
days asking for a meeting Of the club
to be held next Monday evening instead
Of on Wednesday evening, the time to
which the club adjourned at the last
meeting.
Many events on Thanksgiving eve
will demand the attention of the mem
bers, and it was thought best to change
the time of meeting. At this meeting the
committee Of five appointed at the last
meeting to bring in list of candidates
for the various offices will report, and
it is expected that a lively meeting will
result. In addition to the four regular
offices, there is an executive committee
Of one member from each ward to be
chosen and already there are candi-
dates in abundance for the places.
1t is understood that it is the inten-
ton of the committee on nominations to
bring in names of persons who are not
actively connected with the affairs of
political circles. Many members of the
club concede that in this way only will
the members have the confidence neces-
sary in their leader. The future OF the
club rests with the policy of those hay
ing it's affairs in charge and it is eS-
sential to growth that an enterprising
leader be chosen.
If the club is to be a working factor
in the coming municipal campaign Il
will be necessary for all of its members
to adopt an aggressive attitude looking
to individual political work in the vart-
GUS wards

ON THE WAY.
The Body of AIonzo Bixby
Shipped to Worcester.

The mystery of the demise of Private
Alonzo Bixby, the Worcester boy who
enlisted in the 18th United States infan-
try under Lieut.. D. F. Anglum in this
city last June, is yet unexplained, but
the fact of his death at Atlanta Ca,
is assured beyond all doubt.
Yesterday evening Waldo III. Bixby,
brother of the deceased, received the
following authoritative dispatch from
Quartermaster Simpson, dated Atlanta:
Waldo HI. Bfxby, Worcester, Mass:
The remains of Alonzo Bixby were
shipped to you this evening at 7.S0
O'Clock.
Simpson, Quartermaster."
This proved the death beyond any
doubt, and now the relatives are
mourning the untimely end of one who
had been a loving brother and a devot-
ed son. Further information was re-
ceived in response to the telegram sent
by Waldo H. Bixby to the chief of po-
rived here last night, being as fol-
lows;
waldo I'll. BiXby, Worcester, Mass:
1.-THE remains of your brother are at
undertaker's being prepared for ship
ment. Letter follows.
DAILY, Chief of Police"
On this letter. which Chief Daily init
mated in his telegram he would write,
the family have good deal of depend
ence, as it will probably explain the
manner of Alonzo Bixbys death, and
the attendant circumstances. Until
this missive arrives, the death will be
as mysterious as in the past. The gov
eminent is shipping the body north,
and from this fact the relatives feel
more and more convinced that there
was no desertion in the case, as under
such conditions as desertion would call
for, the government would not have
paid the transportation charges to the
home in Worcester However, final
Judgment will be suspended until full
information is received from Chief Da-
ly and some explanation of the case
comes from Lieut. William H. Williams,
the commander of the 18th infantry,
which is now stationed at Jefferson
barracks, and at the time of whose de-
parture young Bixby was taken sick
at Fort Mcpherson.
Waldo H. Bixby was seen last even
ing. and said that inasmuch as the
message had been fully As hours in COM
ing north, it could not be expected that
the body would arrive here in Worces-
fer within "a hours. The burial here
will be private, and the ceremony made
as simple as possible.

TO REoRGANIZE.
Light Infantry Takes Fresh Start in the
Service of the State.

Light Infantry Takes FRESH StarI IN the
Service of the State.
Company c, Light Infantry, M. V. NJ,
met last evening at the armory. 1t was
the first meeting since the company
was excused from further duty by the
state to allow them to enlist in the vols
unteer army Of the United States.
Thirty members were present. Twen-
ty-seven signif1ed their intention of re-
naming in the states service. Three
men refused to commit themselves until
later on. Steven men who went through
the Cuban campaign were among the
80 present. This included Capt. Allen
and Lieut.. Warren of the United States
volunteers, who are first lieutenant and
second sergeant, respectively, of Com
pany c.
Capt. p. L. Rider presided and called
the names of the men present from the
company rolls of last May.
The small number of Cuban volun-
teerS present was accounted for by
Capt Rider. he said that many Of
them were sick and dared not go out
in the night air. He had received let
tiers from several men who said they
would be able to appear at later date.
First Lieut.. King of the volunteers,
who is first sergeant of Company c,
was absent. The lieutenant, some time
ago, announced that he would withdraw
from the militia, as his time expired
several months ago. But. Capt. Rider
has not received any official notifica-
ton of the lieutenants intentions.
Capt. Allen said last evening to Spy
representative: II shall remain in the
state militia until it is on it's feet at
any rate. have no intention of with
drawing at present" Lieut.. Warren
also said that he should remain until
his time expired.
Last nights meeting, the officers of
Company C said was very satisfactory
to them and that it was simply pre-
liminary step to test the pulse of those
who did and did not go to Cuba.
The military men in Worcester are
worried over the reorganization. 1t IS
general opinion among the soldiers
that it win take at least two years to
get the state militia into as good con-
dition as it was before the call came
for volunteers to go to Cuba
Last nights meeting was interesting
to the officers of other companies who
will probably not try to reorganize
their commands until the paymast ar
has made his rounds and the boys of the
Second regiment have entirely cleaned
up their affairs with the government.
1t is thought that hardly one third
of the Cuban volunteers will re-enter
the state militia. In this case volunteers
will have to be looked for among the
young men about town who have seen
any military service

FROM wARD>2.

orsendaIe Has Candidate for the Com
mon Council.
Ward 2 comes forward this morning
with a candidate for the common coun-
Gil, and the man that has been chosen
to represent the ward that has been
spoken of favorably by many of the
influential voters and politicians of the
ward is Lewis J. Terrill, who has
for many years kept a grocery store
near the terminus of the street railway
line on West Boylston street. Although
Mr.. Terrill has never been honored by
the ward he has always taken an in
terest in city affairs, and is said to be
well informed in regard TO the city S
interests in general. Greendale has
grown to such proportions WITHIN the
mast few years that the voters in that
section feel that they are entitled to
representation in the city government.
