SHE WAS WORCESTER GIRL
Miss Kelley Portland Victim, Graduated
From the High School in '93.

The horrible Portland disaster will be
again brought home to the people of
Worcester by the announcement that
Miss Susan A. Kelley, whose body has
been identified, was a. graduate of the
Worcester high school in the class Of
1893. She was an intimate friend and
classmate of Miss Newton, daughter Of
Col A. b. Newton, and when the ac-
count of the wreck came to their at
5ention, and with it the name Of Miss
Kelley as one of the passen gers they
Immediately realized thar d dear friend
had been lost in the great sea horror
About four years ago Miss Kelley
with her relatives left Worcester for
Boston, where her home has been
since, although she has often visited
her friends in this city Miss Kelley
was a popular member of the high
school, and was about "a years of age,
After her graduation she studied in
Germany. On her return to this coun-
try she secured q fine position in the
she was returning on the Portland.
Her friends We're anxious that she
should not return so soon. Her mother
was in Auburn, however, and she said,
joyfulIy: Il will surprise mother by
going back so soonu' and that is one of
the saddest incidents of the trip.
She iokingly told her friends that if
anything ever happened to her She
could be identified by a mole on her
left arm, and this was the mark which
proved to be the only clue TO her iden-
tity when the body was washed ashore.
When Miss Kelley lived in this city
her home was on Clifton street. She
has a brother who is an Episcopal rec
tor in New Jersey.

Be Changed.


The fire companies have left the
Waldo street house, and plans are al
ready in process Of completion to cor
vert the building to the use of the po-
lice department. The matter of deter
mining exactly what changes viii be
made in the building, remains to be
determined by the committee on police,
the mayor and officers of the depart
ment
Chief Drennan's idea is to make
changes that viii brighten up the po-
lice quarters considerably and facili-
tate to a great extent the efficiency Of
the department. The dormitory of the
firemen will be thoroughly renovated
and the beds, ten in number, over
hauled, and put in first-class condi-
ton.
The plan as outlined at present, is
TO have detail of officers at night at
the police station, SO as to have q
force on hand at all times, in case of
emergency. Men who have cases in
court viii also sleep in the station
house
Another plan as outlined is to fit the
police wagons ambulances, etc, with
double bitches, have q pair Of horses
and all the facilities with which to
| make quick time. 1t also planned t.
| have a hostler to care for the horses
and teams, work that at the present
| time is done by the drivers
| A door will be cut through the divid-
| ing wall and additional cells will prob
| ably be added
