HOSPITAL NURSE
Drinks Deadly Draught to
End Shame.

A decided sensation developed at the
Worcester insane hospital yesterday
forenoon, when Miss Gertrude A. CreeI-
man, an attendant in the institution,
ended her existence by drinking solu-
ton Of Drussic acid.
The circumstances leading up to the
rash act are of a highly sensational
order. For some time past the hospital
authorities have been aware of the fact
that some one in the institution was
appropriating articles, the property of
inmates of the hospital
A close watch was kept, and Wednes-
day night the officials felt warranted
in accusing Miss Creelman of the
theft. She made a partial admission Of
her guilt, and yesterday morning was
designated as the time for an investiga-
ton. At the time it was suggested that
the young woman's trunk be searched
The matron and an attendant went
to the storeroom, accompanied by Miss
Creelman. They had been in the room
but a few minutes when the unfortun-
ate young woman asked them TO leave
her alone for q moment. They refused
and continued their work of searching
the trunk. A quantity of clothing was
found, and the searchers were just
turning away from their work, when
they saw Miss Gresham pour some
thing from bottle into a small tin
box and drink it.
Almost Immediately after taking the
fatal draught she reeled and fell to the
floor unconscious, in which state she
remained up to the time of her death,
about Is minutes later.
The fatal mixture was contained in
a goods sized bottle, and while it was
impossible to tell all the ingredients,
the odor of prussic acid was plainly
noticeable, indicating that this poison
was a principal factor. No one knows
where she got the mixture or for what
| it was originally intended. Medical
Examiner F. H. Baker was notified,
and, after viewing the body gave his
verdict as suicide from poisoning.
| Miss Creelman was q years old, and
more than ordinarily attractive. She
| as is known, has no relatives in this
city. She has friends in Boston, and
| they have been notified Of her death.
She came to Worcester last May and
secured employment as attendant in
! the hospital. She has proved COM
petent in the fulfillment of her duties,
and previous to the present trouble
there had been no reason for thinking
| i'll of her. What her object could have
been in taking the clothes, which are OF
a decidedly ordinary grade, is more
than can be accounted for, unless pos
sibly she was a victim OF kleptomania
The body was removed to the under
taking rooms of Sessions & Sens, where
it will be held until something is hearc
from her friends.

his instructions The number Of stran-
gers who are here looking for bodies
has increased with each of the trains.
few though they have been that Lave
arrived during the past three days I'M
til now there are far more searChers
than there are bodies. Then, too the
number of bodies identified exceeds the
number not known, and as the prob
ability increases that few more are
likely to be recovered, those who are
looking for friends show plainly the
desperate state of anxiety into which
they have been thrown.
Those in charge of bodies that have
been recovered express q strong hope
that those who have identified bodies
will remove them as soCn as the rec
essary formalities can be carried out.
The interrupted train communication
IS a great hindrance, not only to the ar
rival of those who would remove bodies,
but to the transportation of them Fl ON
here. The prostration Of railway tran
sit has developed another difficulty. No
freight has been able to get through
since last week, and the supply of pro-
visions is in danger Of running out.
This presents a more serious aspect be-
cause of the unusual number Of stran-
gers, who have to be provided for in
the hotels and other places, which rare
ly have a visitor from October to May.
1t was early this morning when news
came to Orleans from Nauset that the
body Of a 'man, the 18th from the
wreck, had come ashore. This was
identified by papers as that of James
w. Flower of Lewiston. Several other
1dentitications were made before night.
The train from Boston, which arrived
an good season brought down over so
relatives and friends of the lost ones.
They made their way at once to the es-
Tablishment of Undertaken Steele at
Orleans. where six bodies We're depos-
ited. two of which already had been
identified. One of the latter was E.
Dudley Freeman, ana the other that
of a deck hand, whose name Agent
Williams was unable to give, although
he was positive of the man being a
deck hand.
One of the other four bodies identi-
lied was that Of solomon Cohn a Junk
dealer of Portland, whose aged father
had come from Boston to see If his son
had been claimed from the sea. The
bodies of two young women Of about
the same age were then viewed One
proved to be that of Miss Elizabeth NJ
collins Of Portland and the other
proved to be that of Susan A Kelley
Of Boston
The party then went over to another
undertaking room, where We're the
bodies of Mr.. Delaney, Mrs. Mitchell
Miss Edmunds and Ir. Flower, which
had been previously been Identified
leaving three here which had not been
recognized. OF these, one was identi-
ned as Jones, the second cook of the
Portland, and the next body as Madge
1ngraham. The other bodies here were
not identified. The crowd, for the most
part returned in the afternoon train
after being in town about three hours
Late this afternoon word came to Or
leans that another body had been re
covered, and early this evening word
came that three bodies had been found
off Chatham, one being that Of Walter
/. Bemis.
There remains at Provincetown three
unidentified bodies, two males and one
female

NO SOUTHERN TRIP.
The Serious Illness of Frank sutterworth
Prevents the Outing.

New Haven. Conn, Dec. l. - Through
the serious illness of Frank Butterworth.
the well known Yale foot ball coach, who
is Ill in New York with typhoid fever,
the proposed trip of a number of the
Yale foot ball contingent, including well
known veterans of the gridiron, has been
abandoned. Mr.. Butterworth was the
prime mover in the affair, which involved
a southern trip. with two or three exhibit
ton games in the larger cities and wind
ing up with game in New Orleans. The
trip was to be made during the Christmas
vacation, and was to be as much for
pleasure and recreation as anything.
Ex-Capt. Frank IIinkey, James o.
Rodgers and Fred Murphy We're in the
company who had signifed their willing
ness to join the junta, and other veterans
were Phil Stillman, Jack Greenway, the
rough rider, Butterworth and possibly
Heffelfnger. Of this seasons squad now
in college several We're to go with the
graduates to fill the places that would be
vacant Among these Undergraduate
We're Substitute Quarterback Louis Stod-
dard. Halfback Wear and Halfback Ben
iamin. Others had been invited to make
members of the party but the whole pro
ceeding was summarily dropped when il
became known how serious Mr. Butter
worth's illness is. It is not improbable
that some sort of consolidated eleven may
make the trip with stars of lesser magni-
tude in the personnel.

Clear Complexion

BY far the great majority of diseases of the
skin arise from impure or weak blood. Either
the secretions have not operated rightly, and
impure matter has passed into the blood, or
the power of assimilation is feeble and the
blood is weak. In either case use
