YELLOW FEVER.
A Civil Engineer Dies of Disease at Wash
Ington.

Washington Nov. 19.-Archie S. Mil
Ter, a civil engineer died in hotel here
yesterday from what the physicians
have pronounced to be yellow fever. He
had been in Washington two days,
having come from New York city,
where he arrived Monday from Near
aqua He left Nicaragua about two
weeks ago on a steamer bound for New
York. but which stopped at Port Limon,
Costa Rica, an infected port.
Miller's whereabouts from the time Of
his arrival in New York until the time
Of his registration at the hotel here on
Wednesday morning are not known
After registering he went out and was
brought back unconscious in the after
noon. The case was believed to be an
ordinary drunk" and the man was not
disturbed until early Friday morning,
when an inmate of neighbering room
heard noise from the apartment oc
cupied by Miller and a physician was
summoned. The patient died in the
afternoon without recovering conscious
ness. An autopsy was performed which
DR.. Woodward, the district health Off
GER, says leaves no question as to the
nature of the disease. The body was
wrapped in an antiseptic sheet and
placed in a coffin flied with quicklime
for burial
After Miller's death, letter reached
the hotel, addressed to him. 1t was
from a companion who had been with
him on the way from Nicaragua and
showed that Miller had been quite i'll
on the steamer, and that the writer of
the letter, then In Pittston, Pa, was at
the time of writing the 18th inst, him
self suffering from symptoms which
Dr. Woodward says to well-informed
physicians would appear suspicious.
Miller was employed by the Nicara-
guam canal commission, and came here
by order of the state department. There
is no occasion for alarm here, as the
cool weather and the precautions taken
render the likelihood of a spread of the
disease very remote.
The officials of the marine hospital
service also investigated the case and
after some laboratory tests. tonight
pronounced it true yellow fever.

BACK AGAIN.
Nancy Guilford Returns to
Bridgeport Under Arrest.

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. 19.-Interest
in the yellow Mill pond tragedy which
has been dormant for a brief while,
has again revived with the return of
DR.. Nancy Guilford to this city, this
afternoon in custody of officers of the
law.
The fact that the noted midwife had
arrived In New York this morning, on
the steamer Lucania, from Queens
town and Liverpool, was quickly
spread about, and a large crowd gath
cred at the depot shortly before noon
awaiting her arrival, but it was nearly
3 D. m. when the train on which were
Sheriff Hawley and his prisoner pulled
into the station. AT that time fully 300
people had assembled, anxious to get a
view OF the woman who is charged
with a crime of such a sensational nat
ure as to reach unusual prominence.
Mrs. Hill, the matron of the jail, who
made the trip to London with Detective
Cronan to bring back the prisoner, was
the first TO alight from the train, and
she was followed by Mrs. Guilford, who
preceded Sheriff HaWley. The woman
met the gaze of the curious with APP
parent composuFe. letting her eyes
wander over the crowd, but after she
entered the cab she was temporarily
unnerved, which she stated TO Sheriff
Hawley was due to her disappOint-
ment in not seeing her daughter Eu-
! dora whom she expected would be on
hand to meet her.
Mrs. Guilford was at once driven to
the Jail, where she will remain until
given preliminary hearing and bonds
| fixed. If she does not secure bail, she
will have to remain in jail until the
next term of the superior court, which
convenes in February, before the case
| is brought to trial. Detective Cronan
who was obliged to remain over in
| New York, to look after the baggage
returned tonight Sheriff HawleY will
allow no one to see the prisoner apart
| from her counsel, and probably her
| SON. Harry Guilford, and her daughter
| Eudora.
| In speaking about the trip, Matron Hill
| said that Mrs. Guilford was sick the
! greater part of the voyage. While they
| both talked over the crime for which
| Mrs Gulford is under arrest, she
made no admissions or confessions
/ She "pooh-poohed" a reported state
ment that she would commit suicide
rather than be taken back to iail and
said she was very glad to get back, tC
see her children.
| 1t was stated that Mrs. Guilford hao
planned to reach Spain If possible, but
her arrest interfered She will have tC
answer to the charge of murder in the
second degree. Also her son Harry, hel
daughter Eudora, Rose Drayton, 6
| domestic in her employ, and Harry
Oxley of Southington are charged with
participation in the crime.

Lot to Be Sold.

mittee of three was appointed TO an
range for the sale, either privately or
at public auction The same commit
tee will have charge of the disburse-
ment of the money already paid In as
subscriptions to the temple fund, and
after the lot is sold this committee will
return the money realized thereby to
the several Masonic organizations, pro
rata as to amounts already advanced
or pledged to the general fund.
The lot will be sold within ninety
days but the first business TO occupy
the attention of the committee is the
disbursement of the money paid in. Af-
ter these two obligations are discharged
steps win be taken to dissolve the asso-
citation under the law, and that will be
the end of the new Masonic temple
The action of the association, or COM
mittee of 80, as it is more familiarly
known, was taken after careful eopsid
Grafton Of the whole matter. The ac-
tion was really taken at a meeting held
ten days ago, but on account of the
Importance of the step, it was deemed
aQNlSaDle 10 consider lIle matter IN Spc-
eial session, and therefore the notices
were sent out for last nights meeting.
The action last night was identically
the same as at the first meeting. There
was a difference of one ballot only in
the vote authorizing the sale of the
Bliss lot. At the first meeting the vote
for the sale was 20 to 3, and last night
it was % TO 4.
The real cause for the action taken
is the failure of several of the eleven
Masonic bodies in Worcester TO ratify
the proposed changes in their bylaws,
which We're recommended by the COM
mittee of 80 as one of the means for
meeting the obligations imposed by the
task of erecting the new temple. These
changes We're submitted in mass meet
ing several times to the Masonic fra
ternity of Worcester. and there APP
proved, but when il came to their adop-
ton by the individual bodies, there
were two that refused to adopt them.
This thwarted the principal scheme for

In SPAIN.
A Change of
Dynasty.
CURIOUS REPORT.
Said That Don Carlos Is to
Be Proclaimed King.

Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press.)
London, Nov ia curious report in
regard to spain's future government is
current in diplomatic circles, which,
from its source, is entitled to weight. 1t
is that there viii be a change of dy-
nasty, but a peaceful-change.
The queen regent is said TO be con-
vinced of the hopelessness Of her son
ever reigning, and has upon the advice
of the emperor of Austria, decided
soon after the peace treaty is signed at
Paris (and every one now regards this
as only a question of days., to quit
Spain with her family and Don Carlos
win be proclaimed king.
Everything is reported to be already
arranged, and the army and clergy are
alleged to be eager for the change. Ac-
cording to the program. Don Carlos, so
soon as things are running smoothly,
will abdicate in favor of his son, Don
Jaime.
There is much agitation among the
Filipino representatives in Europe
over the Philippine situation. Agoncil-
10, the representative OF Aguinaldo,
who has been in Paris watching the
proceedings of the peace commissions,
starts for Washington today.
1t is learned that on Wednesday last
he called a meeting of all the Filipi-
nos in Paris and London to meet him
in the French capital, when a commit
tee was formed with the object of do
ing everything possible to induce
France to recognize the so-called
Filipino republic. A telegram was sent
to Aguinaldo, asking for Instructions
and the following reply is said to have
been received;
Insist upon absolute independence.
Otherwise fight to the death. We are
all united and the government is prog
ressing smoothly. All the independent
tribes Of the mountains are submitting
TO ,Aguinaldo and the chiefs are bring
ing in presents of gold"
The statements made by Gen. Wesley
Merritt in reply to the appeal of the Fill
pino junta of Hong Kong to the American
people have caused Indignation among the
Filipinos. They are especially incensed at
the suggestion that they would loot and at
the idea of being governed as a colony.

patch to President Mckinley protesting
against the assertions made,

One Of the most elaborate schemes for
the erection Of Masonic temple ever
devised by the members of the craft in
this part of the country has fallen to
the ground.
The hopes of the Masonic fraternity
Of Worcester which bade fair until re-
Gently to be splend1dly realized, are
dashed and there will be no Masonic
temple in Worcester unless another be-
ginning is made.
After securing in cash subscriptions
the sum of S6O 900 and in pledges about
$47 600 more, after purchasing a lot in
one of the most desirable sections of the
city, and after arranging ways and
means for the meeting in good season,
of all obligations involved in the cree
tion of magnificent temple to cost not
less than $175,O0O including the money
paid for the land, the bubble bursts and
the Masons of Worcester have nothing
to look back to but the recollections Of
a fight that is likely to shake the
strength Of the order in this city more
than anything that has happened in the
history of Worcester Masonry since its
beginning

CURED last night, when the Worcester

purpose of building the temple, voted
by a decisive majority vote, to sell the
real estate recently purchased as site
for the temple, and also vo,ed to return
