FALLS FROM GRACE.
Five Pound Box OF Butter Was Too
Much For McDevitts Eyes.

That strange undefnable something
that prompts men to do wrong when
their better judgment should influence
them in the opposite direction was the
cause Of John w. McDevitt, teamster
employed by M. J. Whittall, falling
from grace yesterday afternoon.
The affair which will probably wind
up in the man losing his place consisted
in the theft of five pound box of but
ter, the property of the Daniels, Cor
nell Company
McDevitt was at the Boston and
Maine freight depot late yesterday
afternoon drawing a consignment of
wool. After loading his team he was
seen to take q box Of butter that was
lying near by and after slipping it into
a sack, place sack and contents beneath
the seat of his wagon. One Of the en-
ployees of the railroad company saw the
act and reported at police headquarters.
Inspectors O'Day and Stone were sent
out and in a few minutes drove up with
the man and his team.
The box Of butter was stored at the
station house and word sent to the
owners Of the team, informing them of
what had taken place McDevftt has
been in the employ Of Mr.. Whittali for
about four years and has always borne
g. good reputation.

THEY MAY WAIT.
Taxpayers Looking to Common Council
for an Extension of Time.

AS result OF the action of the coun-
Gil Monday night, the city treasurer's
Office was besieged all day yesterday
with persons inquiring as to the extern
sion of time proposed in the motion
made by Alderman OConnell last even
ing. Il has been the custom in past
years to charge interest at the rate of
Z per cent on all tax bills remaining
unpaid after the 10th Of October, and
the same rule is in force this year.
The action of the city council was
precipitated by the fact that the asses
soPs were somewhat tardy in making
up the tax lists early in the year, and
the aldermen thought that it would be
only fair to the taxpayers to allow
them a reasonable leeway in which to
make their payments. Consequently
an order was framed to the effect that
the time after which interest should be
charged on all unpaid tax bills should
be extended to October 31st
In the meantime. as nothing definite
was done about the matter at the meet
ing Monday evening, the city treasurer
can only go by the order passed by the
council early in the spring, requiring
that per cent interest be charged on
all taxes paid after October 10th. The
order introduced at the meeting Mon
day evening requires concurrent ac-
ton on the part of both boards, and al
so the approval Of the mayor, before 1t
can go into effect, so that the old rule
will remain in force at least until next
Tuesday. In the meantime many will
pay their bills. and, IL the order is
adopted, they will be entitled to a re-
bate. There Is said to be some senti-
ment against the order in the lower
board, as it is claimed that the order
came in too late. In view of the fact
that the order also provides for a re-
duction in the rate Of interest, and at
the same time allows two weeks in
which to settle with the city, many will
doubtless prefer to wait the adoption of
the new order for the saving in interest
and will be willing to take the risk. 1t
seems hardly probable that the reduo-
ton in the interest rate will be made
this year.
Yesterday was busy day with As
sistant City Treasurer White at the city
went into effect, the amount received
for taxes during the day was $65, 80S. rs,
against $245, 900 for the previous day, or
about one-quarter. This does not in
clude an immense amount of money re-
ceived in the mail in payment of taxes
which the clerical force has as yet not
opened. A huge pile of letters contain
ing checks ana caSn is plled upon Ine
| treasurers desk awaiting such time as
the rush shall be over.
| There was no line as on previous
days, taxpayers dropping in continually
during the day. The clerks in the office
are obliged to work long over hours and
into the evening in order to straighten
out accounts for the day.
The money as fast as 1t is received is
counted twice by assistants, carefully
bundled and placed in large boxes for
deposit in the vaults.
| During the rush on Monday, Assist
ant Treasurer White handled the
throng with great dexterity, and during
| the noon hour made record of collect
| Ing from over 200 persons an hour.

TWO DAYS HUNT.
Worcester Fur Club Members Soon to Go
After Reynard In Earnest.

The Worcester Fur Club had a very
interesting meeting last evening in the
store of e. S. Knowles. The meeting
was called to order at o'clock by John
r. Thayer, president Of the club, and

nearly every instance, the officers Of
the past year were reelected, the result
being as follows President, John r.
Thayer; vice presidents, N. S. Harring-
ton and w. r. Dean; secretary and
treasurer, DR.. Charles H. Higgins; ex-
ecutive committee, W. S. Perry, e. S.
Knowles. E. T. Whitaker.
After the election of officers, there
We're several important matters consid-
cred, one of. the most prominent fea-
lures being the arrangement of plans
for banquet which will be held in the
near future. 1t was also decided to
have two days hunt, Oct % and 20.
The date Of the banquet has been ar
ranged for the 2Sth, but further ar
rangements for the event have yet to
be completed
The first days hunt will be on the
north grounds and the hunting
grounds for the second day will be de-
oided upon on the evening of the 2Sth,
at the banquet. The members of the
club are much more enthusiastic than
ever before over the success of this
seasons sport.
In g. few days the invitations for the
banquet will be issued, and then the
plans which will bring about success

THINKS HE can snTrLE IT.

James f. Valentine, personal repre-
sentative Of President Martin Fox, of
the International Moulders' Union, who
has been in Worcester the past two
days investigating the troubles existing
between the workmen and employers
I'M the shops of William Allen & Son
and Presby Pero, returned yesterday
afternoon to Cincinnati, o., where he
will make a report of his findings. Be-
fore leaving, Mr.. Valentine made per-
sonal visit to both factories, and
learned much about the work and the
causes leading up to the present trou-
bile. He would make no statement con-
cerning what he thought the outcome
would be. but said that the result of his
visit would probably be the settlement
of the existing differences.

HAMMOND WON'T COME.
Board of Directors of Y. M. c. A. Are
Still in Hard Luck.

The board Of directors of the Young
Mems Christian Association held their
regular meeting last evening. Reports
or the acting secretary and the treas
urer were read and accepted. It was
voted to appropriate the sum Of one
hundred dollars for the use of the
state board. The designations of Ar
thur d. Butterfield and Charles Baker
We're read and accepted. Mr.. Butter
field has recently moved to Vermont.
and Mr.. Baker is forced to resign on
account Of ill-health. A letter was
read by Recording Secretary w. e.
Lewis from Hasley Hammond, general
secretary at the Philadelphia assoeia-
tion, in which he said that it would be
impossible for him to accept a similar
position in Worcester. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Hammond was in
the city at the invitation of the direct
ors, about week ago, and at that time
1t was thought probable that a call
would be extended to him. Mr.. Ham
mond himself thought favorably Of the
proposition made by the directors, but
stated to them that there were certain
conditions which would prevent his re-
naming in Philadelphia. These re-
ferred to. certain conditions in the
rules, and he says in his letter to Mr.
Lewis that those conditions have now
been removed, and that he feels that
his duty lies where he has been for the
past five years.

A BURGLAR HUNT.
How Three Hotel Men Showed Their
Bravery.

The place was q well-known Worces-
ter hotel; the time, a, m.
Seated in the office were the night
clerk. the cashier and the night watch
man. The three had talked until they
had become drowsy, and three pairs Of
eyes began to blink and finally closed.
The cashier awakened suddenly. Down
in the recesses of the cellar he heard
suspicious noises. He cooked one ear
and then the other. Burglars, was his
first thought. He listened for some
time, and then he was convinced that
either some one was trying to move
the house or seeking to gain a lodging
without registering.
He quickly awakened his companions,
and q council of war was held. The
other two heard the scurrying, and they
had only one thought-burglarsl There
and then it was decided to exterminate
the fntruders. The cashier was chosen
to light the way just as a standard
bearer is supposed to lead his regiment
into battle. Behind him were the other
two one armed with an unloaded re-
volver, big enough to have been used
by the rough riders at Santiago, and
the other carrying a billiard cue which,
owing to the fact that the cellar is di-
vided into about 20 small compart-
ments, could only be used a la bayonet,
If at all With cautious though quak-
ing steps, the three descended into the
stygian darkness and made tour of
one room after another. Every cor
ner and nook was investigated, discard
ed tomato cans being turned over even,
under the suspicion that some one
might be concealed beneath. The three
made their rounds and went over the
ground again, while the scraping con-
tinued.
Finally, the men got line on the
noise, and made such a rush in its di-
rection as would have put the charge
on San Juan hill to blush. And the
cat which had been pulling at the wire
window screen in an effort to get in
out Of the cold, fed into the darkness.
Not a word was said, nor a funeral
note" as the trio marched up stairs,
but reaching the office, they shook
hands and congratulated each
other on their display of bravery. The
decorations in honor of the deed have
not yet been struck off, but when they
are finished, they ought to be beauties.

THEY'RE AFTER HIM.
State Force Has Taken Up the Chase for
Reilly the Alleged Murderer.


The exclusive story printed in The
Spy a few days ago, which told of the
presence in this city of Edward Reilly,
the alleged Westboro murderer, has set
the officers to doing some serious think
ing, and State Detective p. +. Muir
ray has now begun to work on the
case.
When The Spy stated that Reilly was
In town, 1T gave q clue to a mystery
which has baffied the officers for some
time. Ever since the murder was
committed, the officers who have work
ed up the case, including Deputy Sher-
Isl William Wagner Of Westboro, have
believed that the fellow had gone to
some far-away place, probably to
Texas. For this reason, and for the
extremely limited knowledge they had
of the case. the officers have done but
little investigating, but The Spy ex-
elusive seems to have put new life into
the hunt.
Reilly's visit in the city is doubted
just trifle by the officers, but the
fellow was seen by, one who formerly
worked in Westboro, and knew Reilly
well. There could be no possible mis-
take about the identity of the fellow,
and so far as that goes, there seems to
be no reason to assume that Reilly had
gone to Texas. The fellow certainly
possessed none of the worlds finances
which would enable him to travel so
extensively.
State Detective Murray was seen yes
terday afternoon by a Spy man, but
he could not offer any argument con-
corning the line of action which the
officers intended to pursue in hunting
for the man. AT present, all the Off
~. ic he CT OF
of Lucy Black, the murdered woman,
made just before her death, and the
statement made at the same time by
Robert Black, the woman's husband,
both of which place Reilly as the party
responsible for, the crime.
