WORK ON AUXILIARY FLEET.
Two Converted Tugs Of for Key West
 Two Morgan Liners Docked.

New York, April 19.LThree con- verted tugs, the Osceola, the Tecum- sch, and the Uncas, sailed yesterday morning for Key West. The Uncas met with an accident to her boiler fit tings when about twenty-five miles off Sandy Hook and put back for re- pairs. She arrived at the yard about 8 o'clock and will probably be ready to sail again today. The Wompatuck, the last of the converted tugs, is still in dry dock. Work on the five con- verted yachts at the yard continues rapidly, and three of these will be ready to sail within two days.
 The appearance of the Eagle and the Hornet as they lay at the cob dock yesterday was vastly different from that presented by the two yachts when they were purchased so short time ago. Their mainmasts and foretop- masts have been removed, and their bowsprits have been cut of. Their stumpy single masts carry a signal yard. Dull, gray paint has been laid on everything in sight; there IS no bright brass work, DO grained wood, nor any fancy awnings. The weight of the armor and guns makes the boats sit lower in the water, which gives them business-like look.
 The Prairie and the Yankee have been brought up to the berth formerly occupied by the Chicago, and the lat ter has been moved to the other side of the granite dry dock A coat of war paint was given to the white super structures of the former Morgan lin CTS yesterday.
 The Annapolis is being painted, gen. orally overhauled, and will go into dry dock if an opportunity is pre- sented. The chief repairs being made are to the gun mounts, which were in need of snoring up. A detail of ma rines was sent on board the Annapolis yesterday. The boat will probably ship regular service crew in place of her prentice crew.
 A large number of enlisted men are arriving on board the Vermont from Boston and other recruiting points at which no vessels are going into com mission at present. There are over 700 men on the Vermont Enlist ments continue at about the same rate Machinists, seamen, and ordinary seamen are still badly needed, though some of the other ratings are well enough supplied.

John Clark, an inmate of the soldiers
home at Dodge City, Kan, was pronounced
dead by the physicians recently and buried
He had been subject TO sinking spells, and
one of his old comrades persisted in say
ing that Clark was not dead To satisfy
him the grave was opened after two days
and it was seen that Clark's hands were
not in the position in which they had been
placed. Stimulants were used and Clark
was finally restored to consciousness. In
describing his experiences he said: "When
| began TO recover consciousness found
myself in what seemed TO be coffin, but
| at once knew that | was not dead, be-
cause my feet were cold and was hungry.
| knew that II were in heaven | would
not be hungry, and If were in purgatory
my feet would not be cold"

Charles II. Welman and Miss Claribel
Goodhue of Fitchburg are spending the
holidays with w. +. Wellman's family.
Mrs. Alice G. Montgomery is expected,
today, Wednesday, and upon her arrival
our pastors family will again be complete
for few days.
Robert b. Goodhue came up on Satur-
day for a weeks vacation. He was in the
Church choir at the Sunday service with
his cornet, very much TO the pleasure Of
the lovers of music.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. b. Cutting did not re-
turn from Boston as soon as they designed,
and as was announced last week, on &C
count Of Mr.. Cuttings sudden illness.
They came on Friday, however. He is now
improved, but has not been out as yet.
The Sunday school concert Sunday even
ing was decided success, and an agree
able change from the Christmas tree
which has most commonly been provided
for some years. There was an unusually
large attendance, and the exercises were
pleasing in their character and variety.
Much credit is due the committee who had
the arrangements in charge, Misses Cut
ting, Ranney and Wellman.
Miss Mary Cutting, who has been the
choir leader and organist for many years,
has resigned her position. She has been
very faithful in the discharge of her duty
throughout the whole time of her service,
never being absent from her place unless
from sickness or when away from home,
and in such cases she has always made ar
rangement for her place to be filled. She
has also been ready to take the charge of
the music at entertainments and funerals.
The community is under great obligations
to Miss Cutting for her free service for so
long time Joseph p. Ranney has been
elected by the choir for their chorister.

The classes will be organized anew next
Sunday. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be full attendance. Many of the young
people do not seem to estimate the worth
of the school to them at its true value.
Some have left it altogether and others
are so irregular in attendance as to make
it of little account. Real interest in the
study of the bible is sure to bring large
reward.

Alleged Shortage In the CoIebrook, v.
H., Bank.

Harry F. Bailey, cashier OF the Cole
brook, y. H., National bank was arrested
Wednesday charged with the misappropri.
alton Of the funds of the institution, the
alleged shortage being S34.l50, through
overdrafts distributed among 10 deposit
ors. The amount of the overdrafts was
kept on third book and the other officials
of the bank say they were not aware that
the credit was being so extensively accord
ed a portion Of the depositors. The IT..
reeuarities extend over period of nearly
three years. The bank, which is the only
national institution in the town, is. with
ont doubt, perfectly solvent. A portion
of the overdraft has been made good and
i, is believed large amount will be liqui-
dated at once.

ganized in 1889, with a capital of S75, 900,
the president being George Van Dyke, one
of the best known lumbermen in New
England Mr. Van Dyke, who was in
terviewed at Boston, said that most of the
men TO whom the money had been loaned
would be able to pay.

Lewis Warner Guilty.

Trial Lasted Less Than Day and
HaIf--The Defendsnt Appealed TO the
supreme Court.
The trial of Lewis Warner on the charge
of embezzlement came suddenly TO an end
in the superior court at Northampton,
Mass, yesterday, when the counsel for the
defendant bank wrecker stated at the con
cluson of the presentation of evidence by
the commonwealth that the defence would
rest its case without submitting testimony
or argument. The district attorney dis
pensed with an argument, the judge made
brief charge and the case went to the
jury. Three hours later the jury returned
verdict of guilty on six counts of the in
dictments. They had been ordered by the
court to find verdict of not guilty on the
other five of the IL counts. The trial
lasted less than day and a half. This
does not end the case, however, for IL will
be carried up to the supreme bench on the
motion to quash the Indictment and on
various and sundry exceptions taken by
the defendants counsel. Warner was
charged with embezzlement from the New
Hampshire savings bank of Northampton
to an amount approximating 100000.
