IS THIS MCBRIDE?
Body Of a Colored
Man Found Near
Rochdale Line.
SOUGHT SHELTER FROM STORM
Probably Killed by Light
ming Same Day Cream
er Was Killed.
SOUGHT SHELTER FROM STORM

southbridge. Sept. l3.-The deeompos-
ed body Of a .colored man, which may
prove TO be that Of Arthur Mcbride
Of SO Hanover street, Worcester. was
found in a field in Charlton near the
Rochdale line, near the tracks Of the
Boston & Albany railroad today. The
body was evidently that Of man about
80 years Of age.
A man who did not give his name,
evidently a track walker. found the
body beneath a tree. near what is
known as Cudworth's bridge. The
oTms were folded over the bosom and
there was no indication Of a struggle
Of any sort. Medical Examiner Brad
ford Of Southbridge made an examina-
ton OF the body, and found il so badly
decomposed that recognition was next
TO impossible, even if the face had been
familiar. In one pocket was a blank
book, apparently new, the only thing
written in il was what seemed to be
Arthur N. Bridge, Worcester.
It is possible that the name written
was Arthur Mcbride, instead Of Arthur
n. Bridge. II is now thought that the
man sought shelter from the shower Of
Sunday evening, Sept. 2, beneath the
large tree, where he was found, and
was struck by lightning.
Il will be remembered by Spy read
ers that Wallace Creamer Of Worcester
was killed on the Boston and Albany
tracks in Rochdale Sunday, Sept. 2,
and the last person seen with him was
q, coiOred man. II is now thought the
the subject Of today's find might have
been his companion.
1t is known that Arthur Mcbride, a
colored man, Of SO Hanover street,
Worcester. left that city Sunday morn
ing, Sept. ?, with Dreamer, both intend
ing to look for work in or around
Charlton. When Creamer's body was
found letter written by Howard Bush
nell. Charlton farmer, was in Cream
er's pocket, and it is known that Nc
Bride also expected to secure work in
this section.
When Cresmer's body was identified
several days after il was found, moth
ing had been seen Of Mcbride, and his
friends in Worcester knew nothing Of
his wherea bouts. 1t is possible that the
men were walking along the track to-
gether and were parted by the passing
Of the train. which caused Creamer's
death. Mcbride, being unable to find
his companion, owing to the darkness.
probably gave up the search and sought
shelter beneath the tree where the body
was found today.
Up to late hour this evening Nc
Brides Worcester friends had heard
nothing Of him since he left his home
Sunday morning, Sept. 2.

Eyck's answer vas laconic: Let them
bring on q double shell" was all Ten
Eyck had to say.
John P. Irwin, one of Rogers back
ers, is agreeable to such a race and
when Durham comes here undoubtedly
something will be done to arrange the
match.
Durham also makes a suggestion that
Jim Wray Of Australia who was in
Boston the last time anybody heard OF
him, be invited to join in the match
race between him and Rogers, making
it a three cornered event When Mr..
Irwin was informed of Durnan's sugges-
ton, he readily acqGiesced in il. He said

money as the others and have the win
ner take all

CALLED TO BOSTON.
Hickey VIII Join the Champions To-
day-Horton Going to Utica.

csy-Horton 0oins 10 Utica
Mike Hickey. who played the last
few days Of the season for Worcester,
received yesterday peremptory sum
mons TO join the Bostons. and will leave
this morning in obedience 10 the call.
Hickey VIII probably take Loves place
at second for a trial, it being the policy
OF the management at present TO try
out some Of its farmed hands in order
to get lines on their playing ability.
The management Of the Beaneaters has
concluded that an infusion of new blood
will be necessary another season, and
with several promising players on hand
the team IS in such position now that it
can take chances.
Branshsld, who has signed a Boston
contract, has not received orders 10 re-
port, as the other farmed hands did,
and does not expect any such mandate.
He was signed for Worcester, but Bos-
tons Intervention was necessary to
keep him from falling into Washing
tons clutnhes.
Horton, who pitched portion Of the
game IN Uxbridge yesterday for East
Douglas against Milford, returned to
the city last evening with the other
worcester men who played on the same
team. he viii leave Worcester hDday
for Utica. \. 7. He will play with that
team for about two weeks in a barn
Etorming expedition through New York
state.
Horton will return to Worcester next
year unless he is bought or drafted bv
major league club during the winter.
New York wanted him badly in the ear
ly part Of the present season. although
the fact never leaked out in Worcester
Before the season began the New York
management communicated with Hor-
ton and offered him a larger salary
than he signed with Worcester for if
he could procure his release The
Giants also offered the MANAGEMENT
$500 for Horizons release. President
Charles Marston would not allow Hor-
ton TO go, for which he deserves great
credit 1t must have been a big tempt
alton 10 President Marston, not only for
monetary reasons, but for the prestige
which the infant team of the league
would receive in having a pitcher good
enough to sell 10 the big league But
President Marston thought that If
Horton was worth $500 to New York, he
would be worth as much to Worces-
ter. and he kept him That he din a
wise thing the excellent record which
horton made during the season shows.
Jack Sharrott, the crack s'surl-f1elt-
er q the league. remains in Worces
Ter ana win not leave for his home in
BANGOR for several days Sharrott
would like TO procure a situation in
this city during the winter, as he likes
the city He is one Of the most popular
men on the team, not only with his fell
IoW-players, but with the fans. and
they would like 70 see him remain until
the season Of 1900 opens.
Yeager left for his home in Cincinnati
yesterday without having signed a con
tract with any club. He has been dick
erlng with several teams. among them
one or two national league clubs but
they did not offer him the price he
thought he is worth and he refused TO
sign.

HOLY CROSS PRACTICE.
Foot Ball Men Put in Same Hard Wort
Yesterday.

The Holy Cross foot ball team was out
for practice yesterday afternoon for the
second time and was given some hard
work by Coach Conner. John Powers,
who played full back on last years team.
appeared on the eridIron for the FIRST
time and did fine work at tackling and
falling on the ball. Capt Kenney and
John McQuaid were also on the field
and showed that they were in good form
for the coming struggles. Coach Conner
IS greatly pleased with the men and
thinks that Holy Cross has material for
a first-class team this season
For the first time the eleven lined IN
and tried the signals. William Sulliya n
was given trial at half back and showed
up well. II is likely that the other back
will be Cant. Kenne--. McQuaid the big
right tackle, also played, and the manage
ment thinks that he is an excellent man
for the position

A KICK COMING.
Residents Of Quinsieamond Want to
Learn the Reason for Increases
Taxes

Members Of the Quinsigamond Improve
ment Society want to know why valua-
ton has increased in their section Of tn
city.
At the regular monthly meeting Of the

Of Werner G. Anderson, William Fors-
berg and W. H. Willard was appointed
TO call special meeting Of the society
some time before Oct. !, for the purpose
Of talking over the general increase of
property valuation. The assessors win be
Invited to attend. and the committee is
instructed TO get out hand bills announc-
ing the mee ting and do everything in its
power 70 get out q sizeable delegation Of
property owners.
Several Of those present at last nights
meeting claimed that their property is
assessed for more than twice the amount
IN previous years, and they are al a loss
70 account for the increase. They want il
explained. Tha claim is that ward five
has received as little perhaps in the way
OF Improvement as any other ward in
the city, ana it Is considered hardly fair
that property should be taxed out Of pro-
portion to what it is really worth in their
estimation.
Richard II. Mooney, president of the
society, presided over the meeting. Re-
ports We're submitted by the committees
