INSTANTLY KILLED.
Morris King. Brakeman on the Albany
Road, Hurled to His Death.

Norris King of Worcester employed
as brakeman on the Worcester local
freight on the Boston and Albany rail-
road, was struck by an express train
in Allston, yesterday morning, and in
stantly killed. The train hands with
whom King worked were busy making
UP their train, and the Worcester man
occupied a position on the top of the
car.
He climbed, down from his position
and jumped right ahead of the Franz
ingham local express, which passes
through Allston at 1.l5 o'clock, and was
hurled through 20 feet of space, to the
siding of the track. A large number of
people saw the accident and they inn
mediately went to his side
King was dead when his friends
reached him, and the verdict OF the cor
oner is that he died while being hurled
through the air. He was not badly
mangled, and there were but a few
slight bruises. The unfortunate man
was carried by his fellow workmen to
the Allston station, about 500 yards
away, and after the remains We're
viewed by the medical examiner, they
were placed in readiness for shipment
to Worcester.
The dead brakeman had only for a
short time resided in Worcester but
he was we'll known and popular, es-
pecially among the railroad men. He
was 35 years Of age, unmarried, and
lived with his mother, being her sole
support.

Will He Do It
Again !?
Mr.. BATES ON DECK
Is He Loaded For an Even
Greater Effort?

Is Hon. Theodore c. Bates to fire
another broadside?
There was a story about town yes
terday that the man who was once
known as the -Warwiclz of Worcester
county politics had just returned from
western business trip and that he
came back with his guns double shot
ted for the enemy.
The intimation by friends of Mr..
Bates, Immediately after the Mechanics
hall meeting, that the story had been but
half told and that possibly Mr.. Bates
would have something additional to say
later in the campaign, seems to assume
the shape of probability from the talk
that is heard among those who are said
ito be close to that gentleman.
s There are also whispers that the
casus belli has been offered to Mr.
Bates, through officious friends who are
alleged to be responsible for certain
other reports current on the street
since the Mechanics hall meeting; to the
effect that there were many things'that
Mr. Bates failed to make reference to
on that particular evening, which the
people OF worcester would like very
much to have explained. Among these
matters it is said that the lobby at the
state house during the famous West End
legislation plays no small part, and fur
thermore several of the business VEN
lures with which Mr.. Bates has been
identified in years past.
According to the reports that reached
the ears of The Spy man yesterday, the
activity of certain parties in circulat-
ing these queries have come to the ears
of Mr.. Bates during his absence in the
west, and now it is said that he returns
with an avowed purpose of taking the
platform once more and explaining
these very matters.
The Spy man endeavored to find Mr..
Bates at his residence last night, but
was unsuccessful. His friends shake
their heads knowingly. however, and
look even wiser than during the short
period when the arrangements were
making for the first meeting.
1t was also learned at Mechanics hall
last night that there are several open
dates for the hall next week, except
Monday, but whether the hall had been
engaged by Mr.. Bates or his friends for
that evening did not appear.

and Fred Mcnamara, & ID 10 and IA
respectively, were charged with lar
ceny. The boys were arrested some time
ago by officer Ryan of station 1, who
found them wandering about the
streets after / o'clock in the morning.
They had a quantity of cigars, chewing
sum anu SlSdieIs III theH poChets'
which they claimed We're taken from a
wagon in Springfield.
1t was also stated that the Javanosky
boy stole 500 from his mother some
time ago, and was not seen from that
time until he was placed under arrest.

condition of the Sisters of Notre Dame
and the great good that they have ac-
complished in religious moral and edu-
cational work. He explained the great
good that the Sisters are doing for the
welfare of the community.
The hail presented a very pretty ap-
pearance, being decorated with bright
colored bunting and flags. Along the
sides of the hall, under the galleries,
were the booths, handsomely decorated
in charge of the young ladies' Of ST.
Johns parish. These booths contain
many articles, donated by leading
firms of this city, both of d useful and
fancy nature, which are to be sold be-
fore the close of the bazar.

EVENING OF JOY.
Pilgrim Church People Celebrate Their
Freedom From Deb.

The ladies of Pilgrim Church fifty
celebrated the cancellation Of the
church debt last evening, with feasting
and music. For many months the aw-
full financial demon of debt has been
hanging over the church, but last night
every one connected with the church
was happy. Rev DIR. Lewis, through
whose instrumentality this great work
has been carried on, assumed a digni-
fled modesty feeling only that the peo-
pie of his congregation had nobly re-
sponded to his call
The festivities of the evening began
with a bountiful supper which was
served In Pilgrim Hall at O'clock, by
the Ladies' Aid Society. The prepare
lions of the tempting viands was in
charge of a committee from the So
ciety, consisting of Mrs. C. A. Moore,
Mrs J. f. Knight, Mrs. d. L. Ballard,
Mrs John f. Marden. Mrs. Edwin Fl.
Field and Mrs. S. r. Ranger.
The supper was followed by a social
hour passed in the Sunday school
room. The Mems Association had pre-
pared a miscellaneous entertainment,
consisting chiefly of remarks by the
pastors of sister churches. j. Edgar
Dickson, president of the association,
opened the entertainment with a
speech, III winch he LOOK OCCdSlOn u
congratulate both the church and its
pastor on the accomplishment of a
noble work He was followed by John
M. Russell OF the board of trustees OF
the church, by Rev. DIR. A. 2. Conrad
the Old South Church. Rev, George H
Gould and Rev. DR.. Willard Scott OF
Piedmont Church. Rev. DR.. Lewis re-
piled to all these words of praise in a
pleasing manner, and announced in
closing that the entire debt of $50, 00O
had that day been wiped out. This
meant that over $4,000 had been sub
scribed within two days.
Interspersed between the different
speeches there was delightful music
rendered by an orchestra under the
leadership of Frederick Clements.
Congratulatory letters were read
from many well wishers who found il
impossible to attend the meeting
among them from Rev. DR.. and Mrs
John E. futile of Union Church and
Rev. Charles M. Southgate of Au-
burndale. former pastor of the church

THE HEART OF MARYLAND
seIasco's Sob Mandatory in Good Order
At the Worcester Theater

5easco's Sob Mandatory in Good Order
At the Worcester Theater
The pessimist who argues that mod
ern drama is growing insipid and
emaseulated, with simpering and saw
dust in place of vitality, and rosemary
and violets substituting for more pun
gent Ingredients, will have his pet the
DRY smashed every time "The Heart
of Maryland comes to town. 1t is
filled with battle, murder and sudden
death; in one single act-the second
the heroine undergoes % distinct hys-
terical emotions in % consecutive min
utes, and the dramatists imagination
hobs up serenely with a fresh and
equally strong variety of sensations for
act three. 1t Is doubtful IL another
play was ever written where so many
things happened, and yet we view the
play with respect and even admira-
ton, for Mr.. Belasco's dizziness as
playwright equals his facility of inven.
ton.
This becomes more evident on the
second hearing of the piece. The first
time one is so bewildered by the rapid
ity of events, so racked by the agonies
of Maryland and her relations, and so
ments of the property man, which are
worked by that functionary with more
vigor than discretion, that sight is lost
Of the skill with which the characters
are introduced and developed, the in
genuity of the climaxes, and the pow
er of many apparently trivial situa-
lions. Recall, for instance, the hush
that follows the "Alls welr' Of the out
side sentry directly after Maryland, in
burst of hysterieal despair, has stab
bed the villainous Col. Thorpe; or the
exhibition of the staring dead face Of
the murdered spy-a gruesome picture,
but one not readily forgotten. If Mr..
Belaseo we've as good a writer of dia-
logue as he is a constructionist and
stage manager, other playwrights could
only struggle for second place.
Many of the company who appeared
here last spring are now engaged in
exploiting the play through the prin-
cipal European cities. The cast ap-
pearing at the Worcester theater last
night was made up of names unknown
to fame-a state of affairs which for
the most of them will be permanent.
Herbert Bostwiek though can congrat-
ulate himself on a thoroughly good i'm
personation of Col. Thorpe, and H. S..
Willward made excellent use of his OPP
portunity as the comedy sergeant. Miss
Alma Kruger the heroine, was placed
in a hard posistion on account of the
thorough training and notoriety Of her
predecessor, Mrs. Leslie Carter. and in
the heavier emotional portions has no
reason to fear a comparison. A highly
praiseworthy feature was the brevity
of the waits between acts.
All next week at the Worcester the
alter will be given up to the Bennett
Moulton Dramatic Co, an organization
said to be extremely strong, although
playing at the low rate of 10, 20 and 30
cents. Such well known plays as
Darkest Russia" Bonnie Scotland Z"
and My Partner are included in their
repertoire.

MORE SMOKE THAN FIRE.
But the Location Caused the Fremen a
Little Uneasiness.

An overturned kerosene lamp in the
printing Office of c. r. Lawrence. on
the third floor of the Kinnicutt block,
AIS Main street, was the cause Of an
alarm from box 4, at 7O5 o'clock last
night. The proprietor of the estab-
lishment was carrying a large lamp
across the room when the chimney fell
off. In reaching for the chimney the
lamp fell from his hand and i'll a mo-
ment was blazing.
The smoke gave evidence of a serious
confiagration, and Gne of the occupants
of the block pulled the box. The flames
were under control before the fremen
arrived on the scene, and no one SEEM
ed able to tell just where the trouble
took place.
The looks on the faces of the fremen
and civilians showed that the location
of the fire instinctively caused their
minds to travel back a few years to
the serious fire and attending fatalities
which accompanied the last fire in this
block
