Both steam and electric railway men
are much interested in the trolley line
to be built from Boston to Worcester.
1t is proposed to construct a line from
a point on Boylston street, Brookline,
near the junction of Cypress street,
where the line connects with the Boston
Elevated railway system. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a close traffic
agreement between these two compa-
MES as the new line would naturally
be one of the best feeders of the Bos-
ton Elevated system. From the ter
minus in Brookline, the line will run
through Boylston street. past the
Brookline reservoir and through the
village of Thompsonville to Newton
Highlands, where connections will be
made with the street railway lines to
the Newtons, WATERFOWL and Waltham
on the west, and Needham, Dedham and
the South Shore on the south.
From here the line will follow the
old Boston and Worcester turnpike
through Wellesley Hills, connecting
there with theNatick and Cochituate
Street Railway, and following the old

line by trolley from Boston to Worces-
ter. The present distance by the troll
ley lines connecting the two cities
named is 81 miles, and the trip takes
about five and one-half hours. The new
line will be about 50 miles in length,
and will bring Worcester about two and
one-haf hours nearer Boston by cleo
trio car. The capital stock of this COM
pany is S750,000, which has already been
wholly subscribed for.
Should the promoters be successful in
obtaining franchises in the various
towns and cities through which it is
proposed to run the new line, it is ex-
pected that the Worcester Boston air
line trolley route will be in operation
by the 4th of next July, as the work
will be pushed as fast as men and
money can do 1t. The gentlemen who
ire interested in the enterprise are
street railway men of long experience
The prime mover in the company is
James f. Shaw, who is interested in
fully a dozen electric railways in New
England, and has built nearly $3,000,-
900 worth of electric roads in the last
few years.

TRAGEDY OF LOVE.
Murder and Suicide
the Outgrowth of
Jealousy.
MAN SHOOTS HIS SWEETHEART.
Then Takes Own Life With
Laudanum, Razor
and Bullet.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 16.--Mary Ber-
rigan, 15-year-old girl, and Frank
Goodrich, aged 81 years, were both
found lying dead in different rooms at
the home of the latters parents in
Wethersfield this evening, the girl hav-
ing been murdered by the man. who
afterwards committed suicide
1t is said that the man had been pay
ing attentions to the girl, and jealousy
is believed to have caused the crime.
The girl lived with the family Of Thos.
Banning, and Goodrich. who was a pro-
duce pedler, lived with his aged parents
Early this afternoon he went to the
Baning's home and told the girl that
his mother wished her to help her with
the Homework She accompanied Good
rich to his home, and that was the last
seen of her alive.
Goodrich's father and mother spent
the afternoon in Hartford returning
home shortly after o'clock. They found
the house locked, but Mrs Goodrich,
who is "A years old. gained an entrance
through the cellar. Going to her room
she found the body of the girl lying on
the floor.
There was a bullet wound just under
the right ear, and another bullet had
torn away portion of the ear. The
flesh was burned and blackened, show
ing that the revolver had been held
close to the head.
Mrs. Goodrich called her husband,
who. after looking at the body, went
up stairs to his sons room. There, on
the bed. was the sons dead body with
bullet wound in the breast. A 32-
calibre revolver was in Goodrich's hand
and near by was an open razor and
bottle of laudanunl.
Medical Examiner Fuller, who was
called, said that the man had taken a
quantity of the laudanum and then shot
himself. Jealousy seems the most
likely theory for the tragedy, the pre-
vailing belief being that the man
thought the girl was showing atten-
lions to some one else.

ROWING AT HARVARD,
Only TWO More Weeks Before the
Season Begins.

Cambridge, Feb. 19-With the grad
ual approach of the rowing season. in.
terest in Harvard rowing affairs is in
creasing, and men are reading the signs
OF a prosperous rowing season. Last
year the university crew candidates
were out on the river the first day of
March, and gave up all indoor work
after that date If this spring is as
open as last. then only two Weeks of
gymnasium work remain before the ac-
tive rowing season begins.
Coach Il. G. Storrow can turn out fast
crews, and he is a good Judge of ma
terial Andy O'Dea is a skilled pro-
tesslonal trainer, as well as a coach,
and these two men, with Capt. Hig-
ginson, are determined to produce a
speedy crew this year, composed of
men in good condition to last four
miles Yale may turn out faster
crew, also in good condition-the race
must determine the distincton-but
there will be no more professions. Har-
ward seems at last able to profit by
experience; foot ball last fall was SUI
ficient evidence of that fact.
OF last years varsity crew, Capt
Higgnson, 4 Biddle, Z; Harding, 5;
and Keenan,. 2, are still in college. With
the possible exception of Biddle, all will
try again. OF last years substitutes
Perkins Marvin and Blake will row
again. All the members Of last years
freshman crew have returned to col.
lege, and. as every man Of them is now
training with his class crew, they may
all be regarded as candidates for the

OFFICE SEEKS THE MAN.
Keenan, Is Having Hard Work to Fill
Chairman Motifs Place.

President Keenan, of the League of
American Wheelmen is finding it ex-
tremely difficult to secure a successor
to Albert Mott as chairman of the
racing board. Mott has made positive
announcement that under no consi-
derations would he accept the position
for another year, and George D.
Gideon of Philadelphia, who was spoken
of as the only man who could complete
ly gain race control, has likewise de-
clined. Among others who are said to
have been offered the office but to no
purpose, are Robinson Of Boston, Pit
man of New York, Needham of Brook
lyn and Mears of Cleveland,
The fact that several of those who
are said to have recently spurned the
racing censorship of the League Of
American Wheelmen were a few weeks
ago enthusiastically in the field for it,
is most significant at this time. The
meaning is interpreted by those who
are conVersant with the racing situa-
ton as being that those who fought
for the retention of race control by the
league are now afraid to lead the issue
against the National Cycling Associa-
ton.

Horace 3. Hills, Jr., who won points
for the Newport Cycle club of this city
in the local inter-club road race, and
is known as the former amateur cham
pion Of New England, has been seized
with the ever prevalent desire to try
his speed against the foreign speed
merchants. Hills rode with varying
success as a professional last year, but
AYERS that with proper training and
ample time to become acclimated, he
can secure his share of the money Of
Tered on French and English tracks.
He does not expect to win a fortune
or to lower the colors of such men as
Bourillion, Jacquelin, Colombo and
others of that class. He points to the
fact that George Banker of Pittsburg,
who was barely. able to defeat the
thlrdraters in this country when he left
for Europe has won worlds champion
ships in Vienna, and is now continuing
his successes in Africa,
1t is interesting to note, by the way,
that with the execution of Llmmer-
man, Wheeler and Banker, none of the
American riders who has gone to the
other side, has accomplished anything
worthy of special mention
Johnson, Kiser, Mcdonald and the
Butler brothers, all found the French
men TOO fast for them. The successes
of Zimmerman, Wheeler and Banker
is III each case attributed to the fact
that they went over early in the sea-
son, took plenty of time to become ac-
climated, as well as to learn enough of
the language to understand the riders
upon the track. Consequently, they
We're never caught unawares by the
home riders when efforts were made to
trick them. Banker, Zimmerman and
Wheeler all taught them their own
game.
The average American rider, invad-
ing foreign shores, however, bears in
mind only the fact that the French del
egation coming to this side has proved
inferior, and loses sight of the fact that
surroundings count for a great deal.
Hills may win good money in Europe.
Surely his friends in this city, where
he has so often raced, wish him the
best of luck, but at the same time, they
can see that he has no easy snap ahead
of him.

INCIDENTS or THE STATION.

engines. The train was made up of Ii
coaches which included the parlOr cars

bore the celebrated band OF the latter
name.
An unusual sight presented itself to the
late frequenters of the depot last night,
of women sleeping in the ladies' waiting
room They were five Finnish immigrants,
who missed connections from Providence
to Manchester, n. H., to which place they
were bound.
The station master decided to allow them
to sleep in the waiting room, as they
could not afford to go to Il hotel.
