placed on her husbands property was
dissolved.
The reconciliation, such as it was, has
been effected through the counsel Mr..
and Mrs. Gross enjoyed a trip to Ger
many during their honeymoon journey.
but from their first impression married
life did not appear to have the charms
anticipated, and Mrs. Gross asked for
separation, claiming that her husband
had deserted her, and had kicked,
beaten her, and knocked her down, to
which she objected
After Mrs. Gross instituted the sep
aration proceedings through her coun-
sci, Charles r. Johnson, Mr. Gross en-
gagged the services of Willis f. Sibley.
and after the lawyers had a conference
the parties agreed to arrive at some
definite arrangement.
While Mr. and Mrs. Gross may not
live together as yet, they have come
to an amicable understanding, whereat

TALK ABOUT PORTO RICO.
Ordnance Sergeant Jordan Explains Cam
pagn to Spy Man.

Ordnance Sergeant James e. Jordan
Jr., Company L, Sixth regiment, for
mer Worcester boy, and a survivor of
the Cuban and Porto Rico campaigns,
is in Worcester for a few days, the
guest of his father, James e. Jordan,
head waiter at the Bay State house.
Sergeant Jordan returned with his
regiment, which landed in Boston last
Friday, and at present is enjoying a
short furlough. He is looking in per-
feet health, although showing the eff
fects of tropical climates. Sergeant
Jordan looks and acts every inch the
soldier that his career in military or
ganizations has proved him to be.
He considers Porto Rico far superior
to Cuba, and that part seen by him
was an excellent country. Sergeant
Jordan says he can see no reason if
northerners take proper care of them
selves why they cannot live in the
country.
The people are far superior to the
Cubans, and, as a whole, are a clearly
people. Hardly a day passes but the
women may be seen taking large bum
dies to the rivers and streams, where
their washing is done. Even the la
borers on the public water works are
Sergeant Jordan says the Spanish
troops, or at least those he came in
contact with, are pleasant men to meet,
and showed him and his comradesevery
courtesy. Among the collection of SOU
venirs brought back by Sergeant Jor-
dan is a coat which forms a part of
the uniform of the Guarda Civil, So
called, a sort of crack regiment, resem-
bling in nature the first corps OF ca
diets.
Sergeant Jordan has number of
officers buttons. which he proposes to
have made into hat pins or lapel but
tons.

REFUSED TELL HER NAME
A Young Woman injured at the Union
Depot Last Evening,

The oft-expected thing happened at
the Union depot last evening, when a
lot of reckless young men, some six or
eight in all, fell from the platform of
the Boston-bound train over the Bos
ton and Albany road, as it came into
the train shed at 6 10 o'clock. Every
night there is a large crowd, some
times a couple of hundred people, who
go their way on this particular train
and the practice which big list of the
passengers have of jumping to the
platform while the train is in motion
is what caused the accident.
Last night, on the front platform of
the rear car there was a grand rush
for place on the platform, and the
people, mostly young men who attend
the business colleges of the city, hung
to the rails by every conceivable man
ner. Finally, just as the train was
coming to a standstill, many lost their
grips and there was a tumble to the
floor of the train she'd the pile of hui
mainly going in all directions. Fortu-
nately however for those who parti-
cipated in the drop, no one landed near
the wheels of the car and aside from
few bruises, there was no one seri-
ously injured.
Cne young lduy, VINO was standing IN
readiness to enter the car as soon as
the train stopped, was knocked down
by the flow of humanity and she
sprained her right wrist as well as re-
ceiving several bruises about the face
and body. The young lady refused to
give her name.
This occurrence is likely to see steps
made which will bring about an end
to this method of getting on to the
Boston and Albany trainsr especially
when the train is in motion. Methods
employed by some patrons of the road
are nothing short of brutal and the
whole program was like the rush down
along the goal line in championship
game of foot ball.
