TWO JURORS PICKED.
Both Men Who Will Decide
MolineuX'S Fate Retired
Business Men.

New York, Nov. 1.-two of the
twelve men who are to try Roland B.
MolineuX, accused of causing the death
by poison of Katherine ]. Adams, for
his life have been obtained. 1t took
nearly the whole of the third day of
the trial to accomplish even this slight
result however. The men are Matthias
L. B. Martin, a retired stock broker,
formerly a member of the stock ex-
change, and still a member Of the Con-
solidated exchange. He is about 65 years
of age.
The other is William G. Post, recent
ly retired from the confectionery bust
ness. Mr.. Martin took his seat in the
jury box at 1915 o'clock today. He was
the 55th talesman examined since the
beginning Of the trial. OF the dozen
candidates for positions on the jury in
the case today, it is interesting to note
that seven were excused because they
had conscientious scruples upon the
subject Of capital punishment, three
were disqualified because of a lack of
general information or inability to
speak English perfectly one because he
had computations of conscience con-
corning the subject of circumstantial
evidence, and one because his duties as
a policeman entitled him to be eX-
cuSed.

victory was popular one, the big crowd
yelling in pleasure at the victory
The feature of the game was a decision
of the referee. which was sustained by
the rules of the league. When the MARI

and the crowd yelled to rattle him, the
referee allowed another try after the miss.
Again the crowd yelled, and again the
man missed and another try was al

WHEELER AGAIN LEADS.
His Fifth Fox Places Him at the Head
of the Fur Company List.

His Fifth Fox Places Him at the Head
of the Fur Company List.
Paul Wheeler of Rutland has again
jumped to the front in the score of the
Worcester Fur Company, and leads the
list with five fox pelts to his credit.
He killed his fifth yesterday, and sent
word to the liver Johnson sporting
goods house where the board is kept.
Mr.. Wheeler has led the entire season,
with the exception of few days when
he was tied with ]. H. Baird Of North
Orange. Mr.. Wheeler had four pelts
for several weeks with several other
members of the club tied for second
honors, with three Last week Mr..
Baird got one which placed him on
even terms with Mr.. Wheeler. The
latter increased his score yesterday,
and now holds the place of honor.
There was considerable discussion in
fox hunting circles yesterday over the
letter which the Estabrooks of Graf
ton sent, requesting their names be
erased from the board. The cause of
their action is said to be on account of
gossip of members of the company that
Austin Estabrook killed his fox before
the opening of the season, Oct. l. When
the season opened. notice was received
~ IniS S4tJ tndt austin hStdDrOOk ana
his brother William had each killed a
fox on the opening day Their names
were placed on the board, and since
that William has killed another. 1t
has been said by members of the COM
pany that one of the foxes was killed
before the season opened. Whether

WHILE RETIRES.
And Monsey Will Run the Pearl St.
Alleys.

John ]. Monsey is proprietor of the
Pearl street alleys. He has purchased
them from ]. P White, who built them
more than dozen years ago, and Sc
cured yesterday the license to conduct
them.
Mr. White retires from business alto
gether. He left the city last evening
on short visit to Hartford. He will
visit California and Florida this winter,
and will remain during the cold season
in whichever state pleases him better.
Mr.. White is not in poor health, but he
has decided to retire in order to enjoy
the rest constant attention to business
for many years has earned.
Mr. White is the pioneer of bowling
in Worcester. He started a public al
ley on Norwich street IA years ago, the
first ever conducted in this city. He
built the Pearl street alleys. When
he started, the big ball used as regu-
lation pins was without holes, and
many bowlers rolled it from both hands.
Mr. White invented strap by which
the ball could be held i one hand, but
that plan had it's faults, for bowlers
often forgot to let go of the strap. He
then caused finger holes to be cut into
the ball, which is universally done to-
day.
He was also the first user of the pres
ent candlepin. The small pin of those
days was about six inches in height
and about an inch in diameter. A
score of 80 was big. Mr.. White had
turned a pin almost as large as the
present candlepin. When the 12-inch
were decided on the candlepin was
made a little larger than the one Mr..
White brought out, being increased to
it's plUsent size.
Mr.. Monsey is the logical successor
of Mr.. White. He has worked at the
alleys for nearly 10 years, having
practically the entire management for
the last few years. While he knows
the game and management of an alley
fully as well as any man living, his
successes will come more through his
limitless popularity with bowlers He
has been the mailSstay-f the alleys fol
several years. He will make nc
change in the policy which has been
followed for years in the management
of the alleys.

MAJOR TAYLoR's WORK.
His Wonderful Record breaking Rides
of Thursday.

Major Taylor is making Eddie Nc
Duffee's riding look like sick hen af-
ter a thunder shower. He went after
the third and half-mile records yester-
day, as The Spy said he would, and he
got them. His marks are 27 LBS. for
the third-mile, and 40 1-5s. for the half.
He beat McDuffee's time in each dis
lance a fifth of a second.
Taylor now holds all records up to a
mile. The best marks ever made by a
single rider on a bicycle have been
made within week by the cyclone
from Worcester. They We're made at
the Garfield Park track, Chicago. The
marks are: Quarter-mile, 20 lbs. /;
third mile, 27 lbs; half-mile, 40 lbs.
mile, I'm 19s.
Taylor used wind shields in his rec
d-breaking rides yesterday. He made
the quarter-mile without shields, but
all other marks were made behind
them. McDuffee made his marks behind
wind shields, so the men rode under the
same conditions.
Taylor viii now go after the mile
straightaway. He will go to Jackson
willie. Fla, when he is satisfied McDuf-
fee can't lower his marks.

THEIR LAST PRACTICE.
Ellis Now Ready to Meet
the Crimson
Foe.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 16.-Tbe
Yale foot ball eleven had it's final
practice preceding the Harvard game
Of next Saturday this afternoon. An
hour of the lightest sort of-work was
done, principally running through the
signals and the simplest of formations,
the varsity side by itself and the col
lege substitutes by themselves. The
varsity side today taken to be in the
estimation Of the coachers. Yale's
strongest aggression, is as follows:
Hale centre; Gordon Brown, left
guard; Olcott, right guard; Stillman,
right tackle; Francis, left tackle; Hub
bell right end; Snitzer left end;
F1ncke, substitute; Sharpe and Rich
ards, half backs. and Mcbride, full
back. On the college side, Chadwick
and Reane were at half backs; Wear
at quarter and Dupee at full back
This is also regarded as the probable
substitutions in the back field if neces-
sity for changes should arise, as they
doubtless win. Cunha was at centre
on the college side, but was clearly out
classed by Hale.
The coachers tonight, after a confer
ence, refused to acknowledge that the
lineup of today is conclusive. In the
slbtlity of SChWeppe substituting for
Snitzer, though the formers injured
shoulder makes him less a favorite
than the inexperienced but speedy
Snitzer.
Some doubt also exists as to quarter
back as several coachers fear Fincke's
proneness to tumble the ball on diff
ficult catches. Wear is safer in that
regard, but has had less experience in
running the eleven, and is not regard
ed as so good a general in the field.
McBride's work today was not of the
highest order in the punting in the af-
ternoon, as he missed two catches, but
they were i'll placed for him to handle.
All Of the players, both regulars and
substitutes, are in fine physical condi-
ton. The coaches. decline to make the
mildest prediction one way or the
other
The Yale eleven viii leave for Cam
Eious to going they will assemble at
the New Haven house for last con-
ference with the coachers. At this
meeting it is very likely that the men
will have been chosen to play in the
first half of the game Saturday and
will be informed of their selection.
The going away of the team will be
witnessed by the students of the uni
yersity in large numbers, and they will
be given a grand send-of. Following
the usual custom, each player will be
given a rousing cheer, and students
have already been elected to lead the

FRESHMEN PRACTICE.
Yale 1903 viii Meet Princeton 1908
Saturday.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 16.-The fresh
man foot ball team will play the Yale
freshmen on Saturday The players
are rounding into shape and expect to
win from the New Haven boys. The
coaches today gave out the following:
ION the offensive, the work of the
team is commendable. The interference
is formed Quickly and runs hard, but
there is a decided tendency to tumble
and off-side play. The defense, on the
other hand, is weak. The men in the
line play too high and lack aggressive
ness and are consequently thrown back
by the charges of their opponents. The
half backs are especially weak in this
respect. In the mass play on tackle
the ends are too apt to get boxed, and
so kept out of the plays. The work Of
the whole team is marked by lack of
earnestness.'
The players who will compose the
team to play the Yale freshmen are as
follows: Ends, Singer, McClave;
tackles, Ameli, Gilchrist; guards
Stratton, Leroy: centre, Losey; quar-
terback, Howard: half backs, s. Nc
Clave, Bush; full back, Thatcher.

IN FAVOR OF HARVARD.

There mas been little betting on the
Harvard-Yale foot ball game in this city
The sentiment is too strong in favor Of
Harvard ODDS Of 10 Is were given last
evening in several Instances. and offers
continued during 1the entire evening, but
the Yale men went shy and would not ac-
cept even those odds. Several bets were
made at odds of 10 to 6 that Yale viii. not
score The Yale men snapped up those
wagers as quickly as they We're offered
and the Harvard men finally Withdrew
all offers of such odds against Yale
scoring. Any amount of even money
coVd be had, however, that Yale would
not score.

Over $4,000 eggs have been taken at

are expected to yield 100000 eggs. over
100, 900 eggs will be taken from wild
trout at the lake Commissioner E. D.
Burlington has obtained from Boston an
immense seine net of the latest design,
which is far better for taking fish than
the trap at the Lincoln-street bridge.
Twenty-Five were taken in one haul
yesterday, which yielded thousands of
eggs. The workmen have already Ia
ken ia trout with the net. They have
got several big ones, including a male,
weighing about six pounds, and a fe-
males Weighing about four pounds. The
latter yielded over 5000 eggs The work
will be interrupted for few days, as
the trout show a disposition toward
wildness from the chase.

Mr.. KEENAN'S CASE.
He is Substituting as School Superin-
tendent in Leicester and Holden.


tendent in Leicester and Holden.
1t is reported that certain members of
the respective school committees of
Leicester and Holden are dissatisfied with
the choice of Robert T. keenan, of this
city as superintendent of the schools of
the two towns, in that they were not
consulted previous to the choice. The
examination for this office was conducted
by Rev. John r. Redican of Leicester
and w. E. Austin of Holden, chairmen
of their respective town committees, and,
as Mr. Keenan, passed a satisfactory eX-
animation, he was assigned to the 9 osi-
ton Mr.. keenan, is not in reality elect
ed to the SUPPLEMENTARY of the schools
of the towns mentioned, matter which
was understood at the time of his ap-
pointment.
Miss Chapman, who formerly held the
position, was taken i'll last summer and
since that time has been unable to at
tend to her duties she has not re-
signed, neither has her resignation been
asked for The election of Mr.. keenan,
is therefore merely as a supply for the
time being, although, should his work
prove satisfactory and a vacancy occur,
he might naturally expect to be elected
to the office permanently. Mr.. Keenan,
has started on his new work.
