He had charge of the safes, which are
protected by a burglar alarm system con-
trolled from a local alarm company.
On Sunday. Knight. telephoned the
burglary company's office and he wished
to get into the safe. AS Knights voice
was known and recognized the safes were
opened at 1l.57 and closed again In II
minutes.
Knight was around town until driven
to the Union depot at p. M, to take
train for Melrose Highlands, where his
parents reside. This was the last seen OF

clerks and cashier unable to resume
work as Knight had not returned to open

ton. .Later inSthe day as Knight did no5
como in, a safe expert was sent for anu
after several hours work he opened the
safes. DR.. Canning had learned OF the

WIFE AGREED TO 1T.
Triple Murder and Suicide in New
York.

New York, January 17.-John Mat
thews. a retail grocer, sometime between
Saturday night and this morning, muir
dered his 30-year-old wife, and their TWO
children, a boz 10 years old and glri
IL years, by hacking them to death with
a Ratchet. Matthews then committed
suicide by shooting himself in the head.
Before dying it is believed he turned on
the gas with the hope that asphy xiatlon
should complete his work.
9 The crime was committed in small
bed room behind the store run by Mat
thews. The mother and her two children
met death while asleep. 1t is supposed
that Matthews had become Respondent
from pecuniary difficulties.
That the murders were premediateda and
as determined as were ever heard of.
in the criminal history OF this city, was
evident. Matthews had waited until his
wife and children We're asleep Then he
stripped himself to the waist, took the
Ratchet in his hand and Drained his wife.
After chat he attacked his children
From letters which he left it was ascertain
ed that for some time Matthews had in
tended to end his own life. He had Leen in
the dry goods business further up town
and failed. A few months ago he opened
grocery store and had met with litUle
success His wife, a pretty little woman.
had recently undergone a severe opera
tion. 1t was these things that prompted
Matthews to write this letter which was
found open and unaddressed.
cit is terrible thing [ have to do to
keep my word. / promised that all shall
20 with me and delay is no good. If
could only have died alone. | love my
wife and two children. l told them l did
not succeed in anyI business, Ethat my
mind was gone and I guess that my
nerve is all shat is left. For five years
we have talked the thing over. l always
wanted to go out in a boat and acclden-
tally capsize. knew that otherwise l
would have hard time of it,
From letter by Mrs. Matthews to
friend it was gathered that she was
party to the suicide agreement. She
wrote as follows:
Herman is going to die and l am 60
ing with him and we are going to take
our darlings with us.
From other letters the impression was
gained that Mrs Matthews, driven to des-
peration by the serious effect OF the
operation which she underwent, had even
urged Matthews to kill himself and faml-
ly and that from time to time ne had put
off the execution of their plans.
Mrs. Matthews had even left lnstruc-
lions as to the clothes in which the
dead children should be buried, and
signif1ed the place of interment for the
entire family at Highland, N. T., where
she was born and lived during her girl
hood. Matthews was IS years old.

goals and the game ended with Il score of
three TO one which speaks well for the
GOOD playing on both sides

will be able to give the best of them a
good run for their money. He has OBJ
tained Phil Jason Of Lewiston as first
rush, and this man, who is an excellent
player in his position will double up well
with Billy Dawson and give Manager
Kelsey two as rapid rushers as there are
in the league. For defensive players
Biddeford starts in the race well equipped
to meet any Of the strong teams. In
Tobin and Perry Manager Kelsey has two
plucky, hard working players who can
hold their end up with the best of them.
Murphy is one of the best goal tenders in
the league as he showed last night, and it
was not great night for Murphy either.
Tonight the new Biddeford team will
appear in City hall and play the Port
lands. After the expenses are deducted
the receipts will go to Manager Kelsey,
and all who wish to see the new team
with the Portland manager start off in

Read what citizen says:
Mrs. B. G. Willis, of 16 Lincoln street,
says: 1.-The genuine merits of Doan
Kidney Pills induce me to recommend
them to others. For many years L had
spells of trouble from my kidneys. At
such times my back ached across the loins
and it was accompanied with very scanty
secretions from the kidneys and my feet
and limbs bloated or puffei up. III the
spring of 1896 was in pretty bad shape
and my husband got me Doan's Kidney
Pills at II. II. Hay & Sons drug store at
the junction of Free and Middle streets.
They did just exactly as they are repre-
sented to do. The Eackache left me and
tho urinary difficulty disappeared. From
my experience I can't help but speak
glowiugly of Doan's Kidney Pills for
such ailments -
