information received about the girl
from Worcester.
Inspector Stone Of the Worcester pc
lice force, who wanted to get the
young woman for driving away teams
and hitching them on side streets
without settling the bill, received a
complaint from the girls father about
her conduct shortly before she went
away. Her record in Worcester was
told in yesterday mornings Spy, and
in addition to the stablekeeper men,
toned, she has hired teams from
Charles E. Wheelock, stablekeeper al
Fruit street; John S. Pentland, sta
blekeeper at 10 Mason street; Hubert
A. Edmond, 40 Foster street, and Har-
rington Bros stable at S5 Central
street.
She was well known in Worcester
and in hiring the teams from the liv-
erymen, always told a story to the eff
feet that her father was dead, and she
wanted to take her sick mother out
riding.
She was always neatly dressed in a
dark suit, and her appearance easily
deceived the stablekeepers. AS far as
known to the police she never was re-
fused a rig at any of the stables In
Worcester, and has been seen num-
ber of times riding up and down Main
street alone and at other times accom-
panied by another young lady.
May 27, the day of the Harvard
high school boat race at Lake Quinsig-
amond, she arrived near Regatta Point
shortly before the starter fired his gun
for the men to begin rowing, and was
the centre of attraction. She drove
down in a neat Stanhope carriage, with
a lively horse and was decidedly at
~, Lop lop III el1it She phRaTp6
for the high schools, and more than one
spectator allowed his eyes to wander
from the race to get glimpse at the
shapely young woman in the carriage.
Previous to the time she was sent to
the state industrial school at Lancaster
she had a large circle of friends in
Worcester, all of whom were impressed
with her manner.
When she got out of the school at
Lancaster, she started in hiring teams,
and her father hearing of her esca-
pades Informed Inspector Stone of the
matter The same day Inspector Stone
was told by one of Mr.. Wheelock's en-
pIoyees about the team he had let to
Miss Mcpherson, and it was shortly af-
ter that she disappeared. Her par
ents say she went out Of town to spend
a vacation, but the police have differ
ent ideas on the matter.
The story she tells to the New York
police about clipping with man named
Davis is not given any credence by the
Worcester police who think that she
is too clever to be duped by any man.
Her friends in Worcester are sur
prised to hear of the young womans
trouble in New York, and do not seem
to be able to fathom her action, as
she took a good-sized wardrobe with
her when she left this city But some
Of her intimate SSiends who know OF
her fordness for good clothes, think
that she saw an opportunity to i'm
prove on her apparel by confiscating
some of Mrs. Wooley's clothing.

STRUCK BY AN ELECTRIC
Anna O'Sullivan, Aged 70,
Barely Escapes a
Frightful Death.

Anna O'Sullivan, about 70 years old,
was struck and knocked down by car
GA of the Consolidated Street Railway
Company, on Shrewsbury street, about
$50 o'clock last evening.
The woman was crossing the street
from East Central to Cross street when
the car, in charge of Motorman F. B.
Smith and Conductor Edward j. Rey-
nolds, approached from the lake at
rapid speed Owing to break in the
trolley wire at the lake and consequent
tie-up of cars, the motorman was try
ing to make up lost time as he went
through East Worcester.
When the car reached "HOly Cross
Corner" the junction of East Central
and Shrewsbury streets, the woman
stepped from the sidewalk, and, heed
less of the changing gong, started to
cross the track. MoIorman Smith shut
off the power and put on the brake with
all his strength, but could not check
the speed of the car to avoid striking
the woman. She was IN the middle of
the track and was hit by the fender
between the knees and the ankle.
The force of the blow was not hard,
and the woman instead Of being thrown
to the pavement or under the car, was
CduBul III LAtC lCliNtCls iAC Sehl WCilt
about its length after the collision, and
then the motorman and the passengers,
among whom were many terrified wo-
men, hurried TO the woman's assist
anCe.
She was lifted up and carried to the
piazza of 1877 Shrewsbury street, where
she was made comfortable. An exam
ination revealed a bad cut on the back
of the head, but as far as the examina-
tion showed, this was the extent of her
injuries except a. bad shaking-up. Off
GERS Alfred Harper and T. ]. Spencer
were witnesses of the accident, and
they assisted in caring for the woman.
They and all the passengers on the car
agree that the accident was no fault of
the motorman.
She went to a house on Cross street,
where she is living, in the evening, and
was comfortable last night.

TooMUcH SMOKE FOR THEM
Park Avenue Residents Want Clear At
mosphere.

The attention Of the board Of health
will soon be called to the existing con-
ditions within a half-mile radius of the
Phenix Plate Companys plant at 2S6
Park avenue.
Residents in that section of the city
have complained of the stencil that
arises when varnish is being baked at
the plant A petition for relief has
been drawn up by DR.. Andrew Baylies,
$50 Park avenue, and is being circulat-
ed by 3. D. Armstrong and other prop
erty owners in the vicinity, and will
soon be presented to the board of
health.
The factory was destroyed by fire
over a year ago, and upon rebuilding,
a taller chimney was constructed in
hopes Of remedying evils. Hoods,
supposed to act as ConVeyers of the
smoke, were built, but all these have
proven of little use.
During the past few months the bak-
ing of the varnish has been done at
night and early in the morning. This
has but added to the discontinue, so
say the residents.
S. S. Russell, one of the largest prop
erty owners on Mayfield street, is one
of the signers of the petition. Ed
mund b. Morse, grocer at 400 Park ave
nue., is advocating the petition. Stark
& Co, shoe manufacturers and owners
of property on Park avenue, have
signed. Louis Sherman, carpenter and
owner of real estate at 1856 Park ave-
nue., is one of those who believe that
the nuisance can be abated by it's re-
moval to the outskirts of the city.
DR.. Andrew Baylies was seen by a
Spy man yesterday. He said: II drew
up the petition at the suggestion of
several of the heaviest property owners
who live in this vicinity. We have
no objection to any one earning a liv-
ing" said he but when a man is in
business and it helps only himself and
puts hundreds in misery, something
ought to be done. / know of several
cases where people have been unable
to eat any breakfast because the fumes
from the varnish being baked have pro-
duced nausea. The stencil is such
that it is difficult to rent tenements in
this section of the city. The petition
was not circulated until Saturday, but
we have over 50 names already. The
signers are all tax payers. and for the
most part property owners in this dis
trict."

The question of Chief Justice Peters's
succession IL still ct the front; and both
Judges L. A. Emery and Andrew p.
wiswell are spoken of for the position.
When Judge Peters thought of retiring
some time ago Judge Joseph W. Symonds
of this city, was universally spoken Of as
eminently fit to be the Chief Justice Of
Maine. 1t was not known then that he
would take the position, and probably
there would be the same doubt at the
present time. 1t ia certain that nothing
but the Chief Justiceship would suffice to
give to the Maine bench again Judge
Symonds's ripe scholar ship and great
abilities. Meanwhile Judge Peters is not
yet seventy seven years Of age, and is in
the full possession Of all his powers. He
has served on the bench since 1873. when
he was appointed BY Governor Nelson
Dingley. He has been chief justice since
1853, and may wish to serve the fun
twenty years in that position. Judge
Peters's predecessor, Chief Justice John
Appleton, served from 1859 to 1883. or
twenty -one years. No others have had
SO long terms The first Chief Justice,
Prentiss Meilen, served fourteen years;
Nathan Weston, Ezekiel Whitman, Either
Shepley and John S. Tenney, seven years
each
