James Reddy, "A, employed as a
moulder. was so seriously injured yes
terday morning, while trying to steal a
ride on a Boston & Albany freight car,
THAT he died at the city hospital during

Reddy was accompanied in his effort
to steal a ride by two other men, but
they made the trip all right.
The accident happened shortly before
II 0 clock, just as a Boston & Albany
freight was pulling out of the yard,
and fully a dozen men saw the unfOr-
tunate train jumper fall under the
wheels. He landed on his right side and
had no time to get out of the way
As soon as possible Reddy was picked
up by the railroad men and the police
ambulance was summoned. He was con-
scious when picked up. and he told the
Donald. He said his home is at 1888
Cambridge street, Boston.
At the hospital it was found that
both arms We're terribly crushed, and
they were amputated above the elbow
The mans right hip was fearfully
lacerated and his jaw was broken.
The injured man suffered untold
agony during the four hours he lived
after the accident. and death finally re-
lieved his sufferings at $40 O'clock
Medical Examiner r. II. Baker viewed
the body during the afternoon
Reddy was a married man. and his
wife is now in Boston.

DR.. MERRlMAN SPEAKS.
Glass In Current History Hears Talk On
Religion"

Religion"
The first meeting of the class in cur
rent history under the auspices of the
Society of Antiquity was held last
evening at the societys building on
Salisbury street.
A large number of the members
availed themselves of the opportunity
to listen to a scholarly paper on Re
ligion," delivered by Rev. Daniel Mer-
riman. who traced carefully the prog
ress of New England religious thought
since the time Of the Pilgrims. He
traced also the growth Of freedom in
social, religious and political lines, and
showed how branches of the original
orthodox belief had sprung up on New
England soil. He noted the fact that
the country was passing through the
most momentous period in its history
and that at a time when religious fer
vor was of the utmost necessity, there
was seemingly a dearth of interest. He
likened religion in New England to it's
weather in respect to it's changeabe-
ness, and argued that this changeable
quality was conducive to permanent
stability
The meeting of the class held last
evening had been postponed from a
week ago. President Fred L. Hutchins
was unable to be present on account of
illness and Mrs. Charles c. Baldwin
presided and introduced the speaker Of
the evening. After the reading of the
paper, the members discussed one
phase of the subject, THE institutional
church DR.. Merrican explained the
object of this movement and called at
tention to the best example of such a
church now under the direction of Rev.
Mr. Scudder, in Jersey City, n. j.. who
was formerly established over a parish
in the town of Shrewsbury. While there
have been from the beginning educa-
tional classes in connection with the re
ligious work at Pilgrim Church, those
under the charge Of Rev. Mr.. Scudder
have been consolidated into What is
known as the Crystal Palace, an i'm
mense building devoted to all branch
es of the work. DR.. Merriman was in
elined to doubt whether Pilgrim Church
was in the true sense an institutional
church, although that church as well
as his own had at times had connected
with it many Of its essential features
The next meeting of the class will be
held at the same place on December
p. when the paper will be upon "Soei-
ology, by Professor S. A. Reeves.
The first meeting of the society's art
class will be held on Thursday morn

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Athletic Young Woman Demonstrates Its
Good.

Miss Amy Werner. who is now at the
Main street store of the Lowell Arms
and Cycle Company, giving exhibitions
on the Whitley exercises. is d graduate
of the Royal College for Gymnastics,
Sweden. For the past four years she
has been in the United States travelling
from one end to the other from the
month of September to June. In ad-
dition she gives from time to time
talks before schools and institutions
Miss Werner is a comedy young wo-
man, of graceful and athletic build,
whose exhibition is an exceedingly
pretty and interesting one. While she
is travelling in the interests Of the
Whitley eXerciser, she says that in her
opinion, it is the best she knows Of for
home exercise, and her opinion is based
upon a familiarity with all. She ad-
Vocates its use not so much for gaining
strength, but for health. and giving
grace and suppleness to the body She
believes it is especially adapted for la
dies.
Miss Werner is an enthusiast over
physical exercise, and thinks it should
be compulsory in the public schools of
America as it is in Sweden. She says
it builds up strong constitutions in the
children and furnishes them with
knowledge which enables them in after
years to keep themselves in proper
physical condition, and thereby gives
them health and long and happy lives
Particularly, she says, is the need for
systematic physical exercise among
women manifest in America.
The exercise does not make athletes
or develop the form abnormaIlY, but
gives the figure poise, suppleness and
grace, and Miss Werner says it is
sure cure for blues, backaches and
headaches"
Miss Werner will be in the city dur
ing the remainder of the week. Her
exhibitions are given between 10. 30 and
1880 a. M, and and p. m, also Sat
urday evening. She gives about four
exhibitions an hour, lasting about 10
minutes each. Each exercise she goes
through will bring into play every mus

WlGGlNs is COMING.
Stage Employees President to Discuss
Matters With Manager Wilton.

President William Virgins Of the
National Alliance of Stage Employees,
who is now in Boston. will probably
visit Worcester some time this week in
regard to the troubles in existence be-
tween Manager Aft r. Wilton and the
recently discharged stage hands at
Lothrop's opera house. President Wig
gins has already rendered a decision in
regard to the difficulty, and this will be
made known this evening.
The apparent quietneSs Of the matter
during the past few weeks has led the
friends of Manager Wilton to believe
that proceedings had been dropped but
all the time officials Of the national
union have been busy getting facts
together. President Virgins, in d
statement made in Boston, declares his
position TO be very friendly to the dis
charged stage hands, but he is not
willing to allow the interests Of the
manager Of Lothrops to suffer for rea-
sons of personal feeling.
Delegates from the stage hands went
to Boston yesterday and had a con-
ference with the national president and
they returned home last night highly
pleased with the interview. They claim
that the announcement of the decision
which is expected tonight. will have
1ClAAN ll1tVA CoAllAt5 lsNlS III H. anu lIAtg
pretend to know that the decision will
be in their favor
Manager Wilton, in a recent CONVEX
sation with q Spy reporter, stated that
he did not care what the theatrical I'M
ion would do, they could not run him
out of Worcester He believed that
this was evident, and the crowded
houses at Lothrops certainly lid not
show that there was d boycott in Or
der. The manager says he does rot
care if the theatrical union boycott~
his house. Lovers of entertainment ~
not care for labor unions, he thinks.
and even if they hate the manager OF
the house they will go to the shows he
presents.
The people behind this enterprise can
so Manager Wilton declares, do almost
anything they want to, and he will not
kick. The theatrical unions have boy
cotted theatres, a notable instance of
which is those in Boston. where every
prominent one in the city is on the
black list in a theatrical sense. These
houses continue to do business, and
Manager Wilton is confident that he
will not be a heavy loser. He regards
the whole affair as a farce, and says it
can go on forever without working any
harm to him.

Yesterday morning the tracks to

Chandler street We're cut into in good
shape, and cars We're run over the
routes. But no attempt was made to
run cars on schedule time.
The cars We're not well patroniZed.
People had been obliged to walk for
two days and the habit had taken such
hold of them on the third day thar
they rather liked it, and if the trolley
lines were blocked by snow for a week
the companies might possibly be obliged
to go out of business for want of pat

The city's men and the trolley

is in fairly good condition, and by noon

The suburban lines did not attempt
