A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
What the Indications Point to at New
Canaan, Conn.

What the Indications Point to at New
Canaan, Conn.
New Canaan, Conn, Nov. 15.-Arson,
suicide and suspected murder are the
elements of what is believed to be a
double tragedy that has taken place on
the outskirts of this village.
The suicide was Fred Hahman,
German farm laborer, aged As years.
who had been employed by Mrs. Susan
Anderson. Indications lead to the be-
lief that he murdered Mrs. Anderson
recently and to remove any trace of his
crime, set fire to the house and barn
this morning and then hanged himself
The fire was noticed by Zacharia Os-
born, the nearest neighbour who lived
about a mile away. When going to the
scene he discovered Hahman hanging
from tree in the orchard and at once
fastened to town and notified the au-
thorities. When Medical Examiner Dr.
G. Is. keeler later viewed the body a
letter was found on the suicides per-
son that would indicate that he had
murdered Mrs. Anderson. The house
and barn were totally destroyed
A hasty search was made of the ruins
this afternoon, but no traces of the
woman's body were found A more
thorough search is to be made tomor-
row. Mrs. Anderson was about 80 years
OF age and had more than local repu-
tation for her eccentric ways and quar-
relsome disposition. If she was muir
dered it is believed the crime was the
outcome of quarrel over money mat
tiers. Hahman was married and has four
children in Germany.

PLAY NOTES.

Jack and the Beanstalk" tonight at
the Worcester Theatre, has already
drawn large advance sale. There is
strong desire to see this clever ex-
travaganza once more before it's final
shelving, and curiosity to see how the
much talked-about Louise Hepner
compares with Madge Leasing.
Next week. at the Worcester Thea
tire, Otis Harlan, in Hoyts "A Day and
a Night" Monday and Tuesday, Rice's

cyclist, in A Twig OF Laurel, Satur-
day
Another crowded house gladdened the
Park Theatre management last night.
Arthur Sidman's Yankee comicalities
and the picture of the Second Massa-
chusetts on the biograph, continue to
be the talk OF the town.
Lothrop's Opera House will have a
corlzing attraction next week in Edgar
Selden's latest farce comedy, "A Spring

THE OUTLOOK FOR QUAY.

Not every one will agree with Mr.
Wanamaker, who says that the out
come of the election in Pennsylvania
was "a most significant rebuke and de-
feat of Senator Quay and all he repre-
sents."
The accuracy of this statement seems
to depend upon the point of view. Mr..
Wanamaker noting the fact that
Quays candidate for governor won by
a plurality only, and that il the men
opposed to him had united he would
have been beaten, and being also per-
the legislature "are loyal to the con-
stituencies which elected them and the
pledges and promises upon which their
elections were Obtained Quay will not
be returned to the senate, concludes
that a wave of reform has swept the
Keystone state. Quay, on the other
hand, is content to deal with plain
facts, without any why's and where
fores. His man is the governor-elect,
and in view of the present mixed pollt-
lCdl conullloHS III EehHSSlNdHld, tAotI
fact is sufficient for Quay. AS to the
prospects for his own reelection, he
does not seem to find them disturbing.
He has been a successful boss too long
TO permit himself TO worry over Mr..
Wanamaker's figures. He fully expects
to succeed himself, and if he was
whipped last week Tuesday, he cer-
tainly has not heard of it. It will be
we'll to wait little before putting Mr..
Quay on the retired list.

HAMPSHIRE SAVINGS BANK.
The Second Report of the Receivers Be-
fore Judge KnoWton.

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE second report of
r. W. Irwin and Benjamin z. Cook, Jr,
receivers of the Hampshire Savings
Bank Of Northampton, was before
Judge Knowlton in the supreme court
today
The issues involved the allowance Of
the report. the perpetuation in Office of
the receivers and the winding up of the
affairs of the defunct Institution. The
first matter was sought by the receivers
and the other two by the bank exam
iners.
At the hearing it became known that
a number of the depositors desire to
curtail expenses by reducing the num-
Der of the receivers to one and a com
nittee was appointed today to ask the
court to comply with the wishes of
those depositors, but Judge Knowlton
declined to reduce the number of re-
ceivers. He ordered Assistant Attorney
General Hammond to draw up a decree
making the appointment OF the receiv-
ers permanent and authorizing them TO
wind up the affairs of the bank.
The report Of the receivers shows that
the report of Lewis Warner, treasurer
of the bank, showed that the loans of
the bank aggregated s1,083 900, when as
a matter OF fact they amounted to only
sS26, 345, making deficit of about $500,
600
The liabilities are 81, 54S, 05101 and the
gross assets foot up 81. 600 600
The receivers find that after vertical
ton Of the depositors' pass books the
amount due to the depositors is $1,547,
ill., and not 81. 41S,317 as represented by
Warner. The discrepancy in this in
stance is s134,561

ALL HOPE GONE.
Mrs. Woods Is Dying at the
City Hospital.

The city hospital doctors say there
is no hope for Mrs. William Woods.
Yesterday morning the woman APP
peared more comfortable, but failed
steadily throughout the afternoon, and
evening until it seemed improbable
that she would live through the night.
Her husband, who in fit of drunken
frenzy, threw lighted lamp at her,
causing her clothing to take fire, re-
sulting in burns that win cause her
death, takes the matter coolly
He still adheres to the statement that
his wife was passing the table when
her dress brushed the lamp, causing it
to fall to the floor and ignite her cloth
ing.
The cases against Woods for drunk
enness and assault We're continued I'M
til Monday, when, in event of the wo-
mans death, the assault charge will be
changed to manslaughter.

THOSE BIG ANTLERs.
3 the Editor al The So.

To the Editor of The Spy:
Sir-In your issue of Sunday, under
the heading of big Came" referring
to the moose head recently captured by
Mr.. Kelley the statement reads that
the antlers had a spread of Ga inches"
which, if correct, would class them
among the few extra large antlers ever
captured in the Maine woods. While
the Kelley antlers were in the market,
the writer laid the measuring stick over
them, giving the widest possible meas
ure, and found less than As inches
spread, which is considerably less than
of moose antlers previously brought
here by Worcester hunters. This is Of
no great consequence, but when . def
mite statement is made, it should be
correct. Allow the writer to suggest
that The Spy have this matter report
ed correctly by selecting a well-known,
competent person to measure the KEEL
ley antlers, who also might include the
other few moose antlers shot by Wor
cester men that are now in the city,
and report the results through your
valuable columns, and so interest your
many readers who hunt big game in
the Maine woods

An interview with Congressman
Dingley was not needed to inform the
nation that there would be no material
reduction of taxation either by the pres
ent congress or by the next. Others
have said so before him, notably Mr..
Hanna, and even the Ohio sena-
tors announcement was needless.
There is less general agreement, how
ever, as to the reason for this. Mr.
Hanna asserts that the tariff law does
not provide the government with suffi-
cient funds, which is certainly true, if
war expenditures are to be counted in.
Col Albert Clarke Of the Home Market
Club, however, points out that the in
come from the tariff for ten months
has been s25, 600 in excess Of that de-
rived from the Wilson tariff, and, more
over. that it is sufficient for the gov
eminent when administered on a peace
basis.
The recent interview attributed to Mr..
Hanna, however, indicates that like
Senator Aldrich OF Rhode Island, he be-
lievea the limits of productive tariff

If the prison commissioners want to
get any information about John Reed
they had better begin at the right end.
They do not seem to have yet learned
that the Thursday evening preceding
his escape, he had a wine supper, in
company with others, at the Lincoln
House. and slept at the Sherwood
Last nights Worcester Post.
A wine supper is an unsociable af-
fair unless it consists of at least three.
In this case it is fair to presume that
outside of the elusive Mr.. Reed and
his accommodating official guardian,
somebody in the hotel business was
present to help complete the trio. OF
course, if any legal gentleman, or
saffron tinted journalist could be added
it would give quantity to the gathering,
even if at the loss Of quality. Alto
gether, it looks as if shrewd Mr.. MORT
arty had a ring in certain noses that he
could tug at with any quantity of COM
fort to himself and unhappiness to their
owners
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-11-16

have very nearly been reached, and
that the needs of the government will
soon require some application of direct
taxation to exc out the revenues. How
this is coming about may be seen from
an editorial paragraph, which shows
great falling off in our import trade.
Nevertheless, the predicted deficiency
of revenue has not arrived, for the
tariff returns for the current month, If
continued at the present rate, would
support the government on a peace ba-
sis.
What Senator Hanna and others have
in mind, when they not only talk
against the reduction of war taxes, but
even propose some new method of rails
ing money. perhaps by a tax on coffee,
is the expense of administering the af-
fairs of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. The actual cost of the war
has already been amply provided for
by the war taxes and the war bonds
and as yet there is a very large cash
balance in the treasury. Col. Clarke
frankly tells Mr.. Hanna as much as
this, and warns him against the conse-
quences of territorial expansion.
Mr. Hannas remarks concerning di-
rect taxation only add to the alarm of
the home market people, because they
see in them additional reason to fear
that expansion will overthrow the pro-
tective system by making it suddenly,
obviously and hopelessly ineffective as
a producer of revenue. AS Mr.. Dingley
is both an anti-imperialist and a pro-
tectionist, it may be safely assumed
that he disapproves of Senator Hanna's
remarks quite as thoroughly as does
Col Clarke
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-11-16

1t is suggested that by sending
Chauncey M. Depew to the senate New
York would maintain the standard Of
personal beauty which now attaches to
the position. Senator Murphy, who will
retire at the end of his present term, is
a distinguished man in appearance, but
that is about all that can be said in his
favor as a senator. Dr. Depew, on the
other hand, is not only handsome, but
also witty and wise.

BURTON HOLMES PICTURES.
New Views in Hawali-ThriIling Motion
Pictures at His Lectures.

Burton Holmes, whose lectures begin
at Association Hall on Friday, Nov. 25,
has spent the summer, as usual in
travel. In the Hawaiian Islands and
at the snake dances of the Mold In
dams, at Oraipi, he added largely to
his list of motion pictures to be shown

In connection with his lecture on Ha-
wall, he will show motion pictures of
the Rainbow Falls, situated on the ISL
and of Hawaii, the largest Of the group;
scenes in the sugar cane fields, show
ing nearly hundred Japanese field
hands at work cutting and seeding
cane; a primitive train bringing pas
sengers from Punaluu; a wire land
ing, showing the methods of unload
ing freight on the precipitous wind
ward coast; surf dashing on the lava
cliffs; the methods of landing cattle by
derrick; the fire department of Homo
lulu going to fire; the Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard going through the man
ual; battery drill of the Hawaiian bat
terry introducing President Dole, who
is watching the maneuvres; and a
view of the United States monitor Mon
terey as she lay in the harbor of Hon
oiulu, taken from a moving steam
launch.
On another evening, he will show a
number of motion pictures Of the
scenes at the snake dance, at which re-
ligious ceremony the Indians dance
with live rattlesnales in their hands
and mouths; also incidents at an en-
oampment of Navajo Indians, including
pony races, foot races, chicken snatch
ing races, and a number more of equal
ly characteristic nature; also a charge

Sixty extra copies of The Spy sold in
Marlboro Sunday, and ninety yesterday
prove that the people of that troubled
place understand what good reporting
means. If, as all may hope the diff
culties are soon cleared away. The Spy

sale in view of the return of peace and
amity. But it doesn't believe it VIII
ever see its sales decrease there or else
where. That is not the record of the
new Spy to date.

Ii HUNG CHANG.
He Bsgs to Be Excused From the Dowa-
ger Empress Appointment.

Pekin, Nov. Iii Hung Chang has
memorialized the dowager empress,
begging to be excused from the ap-
pointment to consult with the vioeroy
of the province of Shang-Tung as to the
steps to be taken to prevent any further
overlooking of the Yellow river, plead
ing age and infirmity as his excuse. He
had a special audience on the subject
with the dowager empress today and
the latter, while thanking him for his
services to the throne, requested the
Chinese statesman to proceed to the
Yellow river without delay.
In some quarters, it is believed Ii
Hung Changs appointment is due to
the enmity of Yung-Lu, who replaced
Ii Hung Chang in the Tsung Lii Yamen
early in September, and to the animos-
ity of Kang-Yin, the head of the council
of state.
On the occasion of her birthday next
week the dowager empress will receive
the ladies of the diplomatic body, in
accordance with a promise which she
made to Prince Henry OF Prussia.

Washington, Nov. 15-sir Wilfrld
Laurier, premier of Canada, and Sir
James Wilson, premier of Newfound-
land, arrived today to take their seats
in the Anglo-Amerlcan joint commits
sion. T. Jefferson Coolidge Of Boston
also came on, thus completing the
American membership. The commits
sion held a brief session at II O'Clock
and then gave way to meetings of Brit
ish and American members separately
for the purpose of going over the
grounds on which reciprocity can be

week just what articles the other side
desires to incorporate in a reciprocity
arrangement and what reduction of
rates is possible on these articles

Alas, the poor insurgents! Whether
in Cuba or in the Philippines, they are
a sore and neglected lot, full of dis
content, repinings and reproaches.
They have been delivered from Spanish
oppression, but the desired liberty has
not turned out what it was cracked up
to be, and both Cubans and Filipinos
have appealed to the American president
and people to save them from the
sights of American soldiers and the
humiliation of seeing their late enc
mics and ours preferred to themselves.
No doubt this is outrageous fortune,
but what are they or we to do about

1t seems clear that Gen. Arolas is a
very bad man in very bad place. If
the regulars, guard civile and orden
publico have not turned the Cuban
capital upside down and inside out, it
hasn't been the fault of the military
governor. He is a standing invitation
to riot, rumpus and row.

The Boston Advertiser is one of those
who doubt the deafness of free
silver. II has no fear of per-
nicious legislation in this line for an
other presidential term, but it thinks
free silver may still be made a potent
party cry, and in fact, that it will not
be abandoned by the democracy till
some other available issue appears.
There is no promising substitute, at
not yet be abandoned. This represents
the democratic championship of free
coinage as a very sordid piece of oppor-
tunism, but it is not far from the
truth.
