TO HELP MR.. o'LEARY.

TO HELP MR.. OLEARY.
Michael O'Leary, who recently lost his
barn and contents by fire, will begin at
once to rebuild. The insurance did not
much more than half cover the loss. A
subscription paper has been circulated
about town and enough money was
raised to buy horse for Mr.. O'Leary.
Several citizens have agreed to COM
tribute in labor to assist in making up
Mr. O'Leary's loss.
AGREE TO TAKE FAUCETS.
The water commissioners have intSP-
viewed the residents on Maple avenue.
and about all have agreed to take one
or more faucets if the water mains are
Laid to distance of three-quarters of
mile from Main street. Citizens living
west of the end of the water mains on
the main road are also anxious to have
the system extended as far as Barrack
Hill. They claim that enough faucets
will be taken to more than pay interest
on the cost of doing the work. The mat
ter will probably come before the town
at a special town meeting before a great
while.
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION.

appointed at the annual meeting, has
called meeting to be held on Tuesday.

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
Fftchburg Police Have Mysterious Case
on Their Hands.

Fitchburg, March 17-Some boys play
ing on the banks of the Nashua river
last evening found a quantity of mems
clothing, consisting of shirt, underdraw-
ers stockings, two boxes containing
number of letters addressed to one John
son, and quantity of writing paper.
For several days the police have
known that party named Sam John
son, Finn of the city, was among the
missing, and no clue as to his wheres-
bouts could be obtained. The fact
that these articles have been found is
conclusive evidence in their minds that
the man has committed suicide.
The fellow had only been. in the city
a few days, coming here from Lanes
vile, where he worked in the quarries.
The letters found were from girl in
Finland, and, from the tone of them, it
is supposed that Johnson became de-
spondent and made way with himself.
The river will be dragged by the police
for the body.
POLICE GET A RARE BIRD"
w H. Field was arrested in this city
this afternoon on the charge of peddling
without license. That this was only a
nominal charge on which to hold him
is believed from the fact that the police
stated they had rare bird" under ar
rest, but refused to divulge their sus-
picions until tomorrow when the party
will be arraigned in court. Field has
been in the city about three weeks sell
ing eyeglasses, and it is said that he has
done a large business, He refused to
talk when arrested.
A. w. BARR TO LECTURE.
Addison w. Barr of Worcester will
lecture in the course of the socialistic
labor party in this city Saturday eve
ming. EIe will take for his subject Com
petition and monopoly" Inasmuch as
the party was severely arraigned by
means of communications in the local
papers this week, 1t is expected that the
meeting will be a hot one. Mr.. Barr will
answer the criticisms.

Jefferson, March 17.-James Torpey

Wednesday at the Maple spring reser-
voir for pickerel, and mad good luck.
They took back to Worcester 81 pounds
of fish. One of the pickerel weighed
3la pounds. A young man who was
walking on the Fitchburg railroad,
coming down from Brooks station way,
thought he would like to see some of
the fish; he walked out on the ice, but
before he had got 20 feet from the
shore the ice under him gave way.
Torpey ran and threw out a 10-foot
plank and, after ten minutes of hard
work, got the young man out, and he
started for home.

METHoDlsTs STAND READY.
Bishop Walden Wins Applause by His
Patriotic Remarks.

Chester, Pa, March 17.-Today's ses-
sion of the Philadelphia Methodist Epis-
copaB conference was notable for ringing
declarations of patriotism made by Bish-
op Walden of Cincinnati, and the out
burst of applause which greeted his re-
marks. Bishop Walden is ON his way
to Europe, to take the presidency of the
Methodist conference there. He visited
the conference today, and in brief adj
dress touched upon the troubles with
Spain. He said the country was at a
faith in the sober judgment of the
American people and in that of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The influence of the
church, he said, should be on the side of
peace, and he believed that peace would
be preserved and the freedom of Cuba
obtained. While, however, he depre-
if war should come, there would be as
many Methodists that would answer the
call as in days gone by.
Bishop Goodsell of Chattanooga, who
presided, expressed hearty endorsement
of Bishop Walden's utterances. He said
no nobler sight was ever witnessed in
the history of nations than the patriotic
wrath that followed the disaster to the
great battleship, by which about $50
of our sailors were sent to their account,
and a great nation, conscious of its
strength, waiting patiently to learn the
truth before it struck. He hoped for
peace, if it were possible to maintain it,
and said our cause must be declared a.
righteous one before we resorted to the
sword

THE TIRRELL DEATH.
Statement of Or. Adams of Weslboro Hos
pital Shows it Was Suicide.

Westboro, March 17.-Dr. George II
Adams, superintendent of the insane
hospital, is authority for the following
with regard to the death Of Minot D..
Tirrell Of East Weymouth, whose case,
as stated in Thursdays Spy is to be
investigated by the state board of lu-
macy and charity, at the wish OF Ifr-
rell's father DR.. Adams says that on
the blank which was filled out upon
TirrelIs admission to the hospital, Tir-
rell was set down us possessing suicidal
tendencies.
On account of his noislness he was
removed from the general ward, where
he was at first placed, and given a
room by himself. This was what is
known as protected ROOM, and
special precautions had been taken to
shut off the windows in such a way
that the patient could not get to them
and do himself any injury. In the wall
at one end Of the room, some eight feet
from the floor, was an iron CRATE in the
ventilating shaft. This grating was
unusually fine, and much ingenuity was
required to get the handkerchief, with
which he hanged himself through the
spaces in the CRATE. To do this, she
formed a hook with a bent pin and
nXed II upon the end of a pencil. With
this he pulled the handkerchief
through, and forming a slip-noose, he
stood upon the foot Of his bench and fixed
it about his neck
Tirrell had passed an unusually quiet
night, the night before his death, and in
the morning was taken from his room
by a nurse and given a bath. He was
returned to the room at $50 o'clock
Shortly after, another nurse looked
through the wicket into Tirrell's room,
and saw him standing by the side of the
bed. At $50 o'clock the nurse looked
through the wicket again, and saw the
young man hanging there. He called
to another nurse who was close by, and
they hastily cut the man down, and as
DR.. Adams was absent from the institu-
ton at the time, summoned DIR. Klopp,
who made efforts to resuscitate Tirrell,
but was unable to do so.
| Dr. Adams says that he saw a letter
which TrTell wrote to his parents the
day before his death, in which the
| young man spoke particularly of the
kindness of the doctors and nurses
| The head nurse in the department
where Tirrell was during the last days
he was in the institution, has been con
nected with the hospital fM. two years
and his first assistant almost as long
and no complaints have ever been made
of either. This is the first case of suicide
on record among The 1740 male patients
who have been admitted to the hospita
during the IL years of its existence, al
though there are two cases on record
in past years of suicides among the fe
male patients.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
c. H. Gates and C. Q. Seaver have
been cutting some large pasture maple
trees in the rear of the residence of E. S.
Flint at South Ashburnham. In order to
disintegrate the ''butt" log, gun powder
was used, hole being bored into the

the same as in blasting rock. Tuesday
afternoon. Mr.. Gates had loaded a par
ticularly tough log, lit the fuse and run
back about 80 feet, when the explosion
took place A knotty piece of wood,
weighing 90 pounds, was thrown
straight back striking Mr. Gates in the
head and right shoulder, breaking his
collar bone and cutting fearful cash
on his forehead over the right eye. 1t
was a miracle that his skull was not
crushed. He was unconscious for some
time MI Seaver started for DR.. Per-
kins, and another workman happened to
see DR.. Stickney passing along the road
and both physicians were soon on the
spot. The wounds were hastily dressed,
a stretcher was improvised and Mr.
Gates removed to his home at the CEN
ire His many friends will be glad to
know that he is as comfortable as pos
hible and it is not thought his eyesight
will be impaired or his injuries be per-
manent.

MISS SARAH PELETT.
Death OF WelI'known North BrookfIsd
Lady An Interesting Life.

Miss Sarah Pelett died Wednesday
night at 6 o'clock. Her death removes
one Of the oldest and most scholarly
women of North Brookfied.
She was born in 1924 on the old Pelett
farm, which is situated in district num-
Der 6. When she was sixteen she
taught school, but later fitted in War
rem, Massachusetts,, for Oberlin Col
lege.
After she graduated she went TO Cal
ifornia to look after the interests of the
Union Pacific Railroad; and it IS said
that she was the first woman that
crossed the plains and Rocky Noun
tains on horseback. She returned to
Washington, and had several interviews
with the leading men OF the govern
ment, which resulted in her going back
to California While she was there she
lectured on temperance; and it is stated
she received $1,000 night. Whenever
Miss Pelett was interviewed on this sub
1ect she neither admitted nor denied the
statement
When she returned from California
she came back through Mexico. At the
time, the feeling against Americans
was very bitter, She was never moles~
ted, but always treated with the utmost
kindness.
The Indians at that time were very
unfriendly; and when she and her guide
from journey to a neighbour
ing town, they found the guides family
murdered and the house burned down.
The authorities thought she was staying
at the guides, so they wrote and had
her obituary printed, which she had the
honor Of reading three or four days
later.
She returned to Lawrence, Kansas, on
There she was taken sick
with the ague. ..-..-
In 1860 she returned to New York and
taught school for five years in New
York city. She went to Kansas in 1882,
and remained a year, after which she
returned to North Brookfield
Miss Pelett had many incidents in
her life, one of which was as follows:
When she graduated from Oberlin c ~
lege she was not allowed her diploma
because she was determined to read her
own essay.
Women at that time were not allowed
to read in public. She received her di-
ploma four years later.
Miss Pelett was always willing to
help any backward pupil, ana she also
was a very earnest temperance leader
and will be missed by the temperance
societies very much.
The last few years of her life were
spent in canvassing the Brookfields and
surrounding towns for different book
firms. The funeral will occur Saturday
at 1890. Rev. Mr., Spencer will officiate

THE EXETER GAMES.
To Be Held Today Disappointment Over
Academy's Refusal for 18th.

Exeter, N. H., March 1.-THE annual
indoor games Of the Phillips Exeter
Athletic Association will be held tomor-
row afternoon on the Academy grounds.
After the games the team will break
training for a couple of weeks, prior to
beginning work for the outdoor inter-
scholastic meeting to be held in Wor-
cester early in the summer.
The students here express themselves
as being much disappointed that the
dual meet with Worcester Academy for
the 18th of this month fell through. The
reason announced for the Academy S
refusal to participate here is that the
Worcester boys said they had given in
to Exeter too many times already and
were unwilling to make the desired
change in date. This has made the
students here very wrathy and those
who are at the head of athletics this
year predict that this latest act on the
part of the Worcester school will cause
a permanent break in the athletic in
terests of the two schools
