Matters in the Lower Court.
In the central district court yester-
day before Judge Utley, Annie Brown
was arraigned charged with the en-
bezzlement of $6S from Max Linkey. The
woman offered as a defense that Lin
key had boarded with her in Provi-
dence and also in Worcester, and that
he had loaned her the $6S. He demand
ed immedte payment and she was un-
able to meet his demand. She said that
she was willing to liquidate the account
as soon as possible. Annie who is a de-
cidedly good looking girl of 19 years,
was discharged by the court.
James Larkin was arraigned upon
three charges. His wife charged him
with neglecting to support her, and also
with assault. The third charge was as
sault upon Catherine Drscoll. The evil
dence showed that Mrs. Larlkin was
more to blame than her husband, and
he was discharged on all three of the
complaints.

TWO OF THE FINEST.
One of Them is officer Whaen the Other
His Charming Bride.


ST. Johns church yesterday saw one
of the prettiest weddings for a long
time. Patrolman David J. Whalen of
station and Miss Nellie Foley of Is
Fox street took their first steps in the
long journey Of life together Rev. FIR.
Cronin of Hinsdale offfciated at the GER
emony, which was witnessed by a
throng of friends of both the bride and
groom. The ushers were DR.. c. ]. Fo-
ley, the brides brother; DR. Reardon,
of Boston, Mathew Creffy, E. G, Fitz-
patrick, John Donahue and George Ma
thews. Thomas Gallery acted as best
man, and the bride was attended by
her sister, Miss Minnie Foley
After the ceremony a large number
of invited guests attended the recep-
tion at the home of the brides parents
Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Foley, at 1S Fox
street. The house was beautifully dec
grated with .ohrysanthemums and CAR
nations, and the repast was furnished
by Rebboli.
There were many and valuable pres
ents, among which was q handsome
sideboard, presented by the members
of the police force.
Mr.. Whalen has been member of
the force for a good many years, and
lived at 80 Orange street.

of the storm in which the Panama, on
which Messrs. Dunkerton and Hubbard
sailed, was reported lost.
The Victor was under orders to pro-
ceed first to Porto Rico, and it went di-
rect to San Juan, where ii arrived Oc-
tober Is, just previous to the surrender.
After stopping two weeks at San Juan
and Ponce, the ship sailed to Santiago,
where the work of the Worcester men
began. They had no difficulty in locat-
ing the grave of Lieutenant Benchley.
which Mr.. Dean had marked with a
cross and definitely fixed by means of
a buried mule shoe, at the time of the
lieutenant's death, early in the sum-
mer. The bodies of the other two men
We're found with equal ease in the mill
tarY cemetery. 1t was intended also to
bring back the body of Corporal Marvin
F. Ames, but it was discovered that he
had died of yellow fever, and hence the
removal permit will not be issued until
next December
Mr.. Dean saw the other Worcester
party in Santiago, and witnessed their
departure on the Panama. Mr.. Dean
told a number of incidents of the voy-
age, among them being the aequain-
ance Of a Catholic priest of New Or
leans, from whom he learned much
concerning the treatment of yellow fe-
yer. In CuDa yellow IeVef patents are
often allowed as much liberty as would
be accorded In the north to any one
suffering from a cold. There seems
to be little dread of the disease among
the natives.
Cuba and Porto Rico are already
feeling the beneficent influence of AM
erican rule, Mr.. Dean says. The peo-
pie of Porto Rico are far superior to
those of Cuba, and the island will make
valuable addition to our territory.
The people are business-like and in
teliigent, and know how to turn a
dollar, as was evidenced by the
profits they made out Of the soldiers.
Financial conditions are huctuating at
present, on account of the prevalence
Of the Spanish standard with It's many
uncertainties, and changes OF perhaps
fifty per cent in the rate Of exchange
during a. single day
The Porto Ricans are very tempar-
ate people, and do not appear to relish
the introduction Of the large liquor
business that certain class of Amer
leans are attempting to exploit 1t is
reported that the resources of the is
land are great, but a party of prospec-
tors for a lumber firm who have re-
Gently returned, declare that they
were unable to find any mahogany or
other valuable woods in the wnoie
country.

WATER INSPECTION.
Committee on Water Makes its Annual
Fail Tour in Leicester and Holden.

Fail Tour in Leicester and Holden.
The annual inspection of the water
works included within the system con-
trolled by the city constituting the
water supply, was undertaken yester-
day by the members of the city coun-
ell committee on water, together with
a few of the city officials, and a most
enjoyable days outing was had among
the hills of Paxton and Holden The
party was made up of Mayor Rufus b.
Dodge, Jr, City Engineer Frederick A.
Mcclure, Water Commissioner John G..
Brady, Water Registrar George e. Bat
chelder, Alderman Charles H Hill
dreth, I'd, Edward j. Russell, Council
men George r. Wall and John Rivard,
together with Assistant City Clerk
w. Henry Towne.
The party left the city hall in car
riages at 10 o'clock and proceeded di-
rectly to Leicester, where the Parsons,
Kent and Mannville reservoirs We're
visited and inspected in succession.
Very little work has been done ON any
of these during the past year, and the
committee found them to be in excel
lent condition. 1t is thought that this
system of reservoirs win be sufficient
to equip the city for a number of years
10 come WITHOUT any material cnanRe.
At the Paxton dam it was found that
there is a small leak, which will have
to be repaired shortly or a new dam
constructed, which will necessitate the
outlay of considerable sum.
In connection with the general water
system, it is also planned to build d
new dam below the present Holden dam
at the old Seagraves property. When
this proposed dam is completed, it will
take care of the overflow from the
Holden reservoir and store for use. At
the present time all of this overflow is
wasted The dam can be built at q
small expense and a new reservoir can
be added very cheaply at some time in
the future.
The party lunched at the Paxton Inn
and in the afternoon went over the eX-
tensive system of reservoirs at Holden,
and on the return trip to the city
stopped and inspected the tract of land
comprising about a hundred acres in
and around Silver spring, recently Civ
en- to the city by Charles d. Boynton.
Although Mr.. Boynton did not state
definitely the purpose for which the
land was to be used, whether for park
purposes, for a hospital or a SANTA
rum, it seems probable that it will be
included within the park system on ac-
count of its natural features and its
admirable situation commanding as it
does an extensive landscape view.

DIPTHERIA.
Two Rooms at Woodland
Street School to Close.

The primary and kindergarten rooms
of the Woodland street school viii be
closed today by the board of health,
owing to the existence of diphtheria in
the rooms mentioned. There are four
cases in the primary department, and
one in the kindergarten. Two cases
were reported Wednesday and three
Thursday, and in consequence, it was
thought best to close the rooms men
toned.
The rooms will be thoroughly disin-
feeted today, and if no new cases are
reported, opened again Monday. No clue
to a discovery of the start of the dis
ease is found. Four cases are in the
primary department and one in the
kindergarten.
Several of the cases are serious, but
it is hoped none will prove fatal.

GAVE HIMSELF UP
Ard Today He Will Be Committed to In
sane Asylum.

william H. Cook, As years of age,
who belongs in Spencer, will today be
committed to the hospital for the in
sane. Yesterday Cook approached Pa
troimen Barrows and Eaton on the
street and told them that he wanted to
besent TO the asylum. He said that he
was unable to work, and that his mem
ory had entirely failed him. Cook was
taken to the clerk of the central dis
triet court, who sent the man to City
Physician Clark.
Cook was examined yesterday after
noon by Doctors Clark and Baker, who
decided that the man was unfit to be
at large, and the physicians signed pa
pers for his commitment to the hospital
for the insane.
Cook spent over a year at the Taun-
ton asylum He was discharged from
that institution nearly year ago, and
since that time is supposed to have
lived with friends and relatives who
reside in Spencer and Dedham.
The unfortunate man is said to have
lost his wife four or five years ago and
since that time has not had control of
his Faculties. Cook at one tsne kept a
fruit store in Spencer and is well known
in that tAHn.

BACK FROM CUBA.
Remains of Benchley, Buck and Walsh
Brought Home.


Yesterday morning witnessed the re-
turn of one Of the parties that has been
to Cuba to recover the bodies of Wor-
cester soldiers who died during the
campaign there.
Fred P. Dean and Frank e. Sessions
arrived in the city on the 5 O'clock
train from New York, bringing with
them the remains of Lieut. Edmund N
Benchley, U. S. A, Priv. Charles 70
Buck of the Wellingtons and Priv
Thomas Walsh of Hopkinton The
party came to New York on the trans
port Victor on Tuesday and diseln-
barked at Brooklyn. Permits for the
removal of the bodies We're secured
through friends of Mr.. Sessions and
they were enabled to get across the
city in time to take a train which
brought them home somewhat earlier
than they had expected.
Arrangements have been made for
the funerals of the three soldiers.
Lieut.. Benchley's remains will be
buried in West Point, the services in
this city taking place next Saturday.
The funeral of Private Chas. E. Buck
of Co. H, I'd Mass. regiment, who died
, in Santiago, Cuba, July 30, will be held
from st. Pauls Church Friday after
noon at 2:30. Rev. FIR. Lunney will Of
ficiate. Interment will be in Hope
direct to the church from Sessions un-
dertaking rooms. II is intended, so far
as possible, to have the same members
of Co. H act as bearers at the services
in this city, who performed this sad
duty when Private Buck was buried at
Santiago.
The funeral of Private Ralph G. King
of the Light Infantry, who died at San
tiago. August 2S, will be held from the
Baptist Church at Greenville, in Leices-
ter, next Saturday afternoon at 2,SO p.
m. Friends and relatives are invited
to be present at all these services.
Mr.. Dean, who was seen by The Spy
man shortly after his arrival, spoke in
terestingly Of the trip. In health, Mr..
Dean has been greatly benefited by
the voyage. When he left the city he
was still suffering from his experience
in Cuba, as a member of one of the
Worcester companies. He had chills
and fever regularly, but he found that
after he had been a few days at sea the
chills gradually disappeared
Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Sessions made ooth
the outward and return trips on the
TRANSPORT Victor, and had pleasant
VOYAGES in both cases, with the excep-
ton Of one night when the weather
was decidedly rough. 1t was the night

BULIAL OF LIEUT.. BENcHLEY.
Funeral in This City But Intarment al
West Point.


The body of Lieut.. Edmund NJ.
Benchley will repose in the National
cemetery at West Point, where there
are already inferred some of the hrav-
est and most celebrated soldiers that
the country has produced. The funeral
will be held in this city, Saturday af-
ternoon, but the young officer merits
the honor of burial under the shadow
of the monument to be erected to reg
ular officers at the National Military
Academy. There are FIVE other NOM
bers of Lieut.. Benchleys class, who
will sleep in this historic cemetery, two
besides himself having been Killed in
Cuba, and three having since died of
disease contracted there.
The services in the First Universalist
Church will be conducted by Rev. DIR.
Almon Gunnison. Music viii be fur
nished by the Schumann Quartet, and
it is hoped for an address from Senator
Hoar. The bearers will be selected
from tho officers of the local volunteer
companies and from personal friends.
Escort will be furnished by the G. A. r.
and the militia organizations.
The ceremonies at West Point will be
impressive. In order to be buried in
the cemetery one must have been an
officer in the regular service and in
general a graduate of the academy. On
the occasion of the burial of an officer
the cadet corps attends in body, and
the ceremonial is both impressive and
beautiful.
Together with the historic traditions
of the famous men beside whom Wor-
cester's young hero will repose, the
pathos of the return to the academy at
which he was educated and from which
he graduated so recently will make the
burial a memorable ceremony.

REVIVAL SERVICES At HOPE
CHURCH.

The revival services at Hope Church
this week are meeting with gratifying
success Rev. Rufus M. Taft, state
evangelist. conducts the services. His
manner is earnest, straightforward and
genuine. He is assisted by Mrs. Rich
of Hyde Park, one of the sweetest gos-
pel singers who has visited Worcester
for many a day. Already several per-
sons have expressed a purpose to lead
a. Christian life. Meetings will continue
every evening this week at 7.3O. A
special feature this evening will be
singing by chldren's choir.

An exchange asks, "Who is the
home merchaut?' and then answers:
"He is the man who helps pay for
the streets you walk upon, for the
school in which your children, or
perhaps you we're educated. He
helps to keep up the church IN
which yov worship. He is a man
who builds home which enhances
the value of your property Every
subscription paper that is passed
has his name on it. He is the man
who cannot afford to swindle you.
Self-interest il nothing else would
cause this. He bears his share of
the good government and stays
with you in sunshine and darkness,
in days of prosperity and and ad-
yersity. These are but a few of the
reasons why your patronage should
be given to the home merchant.

Our goldbug fliends say this is
an excellent crop year, therefore
the producer will not care for the
silver question or any other fnanci-
al subject. The farmer has had
excellent crops in other years, still
the agitation for financial reform
has gone right on. When good
crop year and a good price year
coincide, then the farmer will be
happy, What article the farmer
has for sale commands a normal
price? Dollar wheat is now selling
at little over sixty cents, and it
looks like the farmers of the west
and north will burn corn this winter
instead of coal, because it IS the
cheaper fuel. We are sure to hear
the pitiful whine of "oyer-produc-
