FORE MBEZZLE EMENT
Employees of Worcester Market
Arrested on That Charge.
Edward oosselin and Loyal S. Dowd in
Trouble The Latter Makes
Clean Breast of 1t.

Edward Gosselin and Loyal S. Dowd,
employed respectively as floor salesman
and driver for the Worcester Market,
were arrested at aout Z O'clock Thurs
day euening, by Inspector O'Day and
Sergt. Hill, on warrants charging them
with embezzlement from the Worcester
Market Company.
The outline of the scheme, as given
out, by the means of which the men
have worked the market to a consider
able extent, is as follows: Gosselin,
who is one of the head statesmen in the
market and looks after the Motel trade
as we'll, managed in some way to get
the goods to DoWd who disposed of
them on his route, dividing the profits
between them F. A. Amidon, the local
manager of the market, called at Sta
tion1 shortly after 9 o'clock, and had
talk with DoWd, who made clean
breast of the matter by acknowledging
the embezzlement.
Mr.. Amidon was seen by a Spy re-
porter, but declined to give amy Of the
details of the affair He stated that the
amount of the embezZlement was not
known, as they had not had time to
make thorough examination.
The affair will create something of a
sensation among une 1rlendS OF the TWO
men, who have always considered them
perfectly trustworthy, as had their en-
ployers, up to short time ago.
Although the managers declined to
give any Of the particulars in connec-
tion with the discovery Of the theft, in
quiry developed the fact that the affair
has been going on for some time. The
managers discovered recently that
something was wrong, and started in
to make quiet, but none the less thor
ough examination, which was not an
easy task by '4r1y means, when one stops
to consider the number of men en-
ployed and the amount of goods handled
at the Worcester Market
BY lint of perseverance and shrewd
detective work. their suspicious finally
rested on Gosselin and Dowd, and In
spector O'Day was called to the case,
which resulted IN the arrest of the two
men Thursday evening.
Gosselin has been employed at the
Worcester Market for number of
years, and has been considered one Of
the most popular statesmen in the city.
Dowd has been in the employ of the
company for about two years. Both have
been considered perfectly trustworthy,
and the knowledge that the men We're
engaged in fraudulent dealings was as
much blow to their employers as to
their families and friends.

hibtion in the Gymnasium at
New London. Conn.

New London, Conn, Jan. 20.--The New
London Athletic Club held it's first box
ing exhibition of the new year in the

pacity was taxed to the utmost, The
talent was wholly from Worcester,
Mass, and about 100 sports from that
city attended.
The first bout was between Fred
White and George Boles, six rounds at
125 pounds, and two rounds more, if
need be, for a decision. Boles got the
decision at the end of the eighth round,
White was saved twice by the gong,
but he put up clean and gamey ex-
hibition.
The other bout was between Timothy
Carroll and Jack Lawler 70 rounds at
12S pounds, and resulted in Carroll be-
ing knocked out after one minute and
10 seconds of fighting in the eleventh
round. Carroll apparently was the
cleverer Of the two and il was either
mans fight up to the 11th round Car
roll used a straight left on his oppo-
nent's face, while Lawler had a good
left swing, with which he kept bonn
harding Canrolls body, and tired out
his man. In the tenth round Carroll
was fioored; and, just as he was about
to- drop into his seat in his corner, as
the gong was sounding, he received an
other ugly swing, which dazed him.
| foul was claimed, but Referee
James Boutelle of Providence would not
allow 1t, on the grounds that Lawle1
could not stop his arm, as he had start
ed the swing before the gong sounded
Carroll came up so weak at the opening
! OF the eleventh round that he was
f1oored in short order; and another left
swing resulted in a Knockout. Botf
men We're in good condition when they
| entered the ring.
In the first bout White broke three
OF the small bones in the back of his
fright hand in the early part Of the con.
test.

LAWLOR's LOCAL, RECORD

Jack Lawlor, the winner of the more
important of the above fights. has been
prominently in the eye of the local box
ing fraternity for the past three years.
Two years ago he evidenced signs of be
ing good man in a private bout with
Al Belliveau. The latter was then con-
s1dered one of the best men Of his class
in Worcester county, but in the meeting
Lawlor easily had the better of the ar
gument, and capital judges believe he
would have finished Belliveau if the con
test had been allowed to proceed. Since
that time Lawlor has engaged in few
bouts, and has always come out a win
ner. He has peculiar style of fighting.
which has tendency to rattle his oppo-
nent. His victory of last night will ev-
identity mean searching for bigger game,
and already there is talk of matching
him against some of Bostons scrap

SUCCESS OF GOLD STANDARD

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2O.-The interest
ing budget statement just made by the
Russian minister of finance shows an
actual deficit of over 100000, 900 roubles,
which is covered by the free balance in
the treasury, The minister expresses
great pride in the result of the adoption
of the gold standard, calling attention
to the most striking fact that, while at
the end of 1896 only 81, 900 roubles in
gold were in circulation, at the end Of
1897 there were 155, ,000,0 900 in circulation,
while the gold in the treasury rose dur
The statement shows also that the vol
ume Of existing bank notes has been re-
duced by t22,000,000 roubles. Russia has
now 131 per cent more gold than paper.

One Proposed 3. and A. Grade Reduction
Line Contemp'ates Enormous Tunnel.
A Springfield paper says that Boston
and Albany engineering corps are in
the field at work upon new line to
reduce the grades and distance from
Charlton Summit.
Tt is understood that one Of the lines
proposed involves a seven-mile tunnel
east of Brookfeld, which will reduce
grades and shorten the distance to New
York by 6la miles.
It is believed that this tunnel, al
though twice as long as the Hoosac
tunnel, will cost less than S5,000,000 as
against cost of s24OO0009 including
interest, to the state Of Massachusetts,
for the construction of the Hoosac
