BR1NKWoRTH IMPROVES
There is a Possibility of HIS Partial Re-
coVery.

The condition of Walter H. Brink
worth, who attempted to end his life by
sending bullet into his brain, because
young woman refused to marry him,
and has since been an inmate of the
city hospital, hanging in the balance
between life and death, is decidedly
improved, and with no unforeseen de-
velopment is in a fair way to at least
partial recovery of his former health.
The young man is perfectly rational
and comprehends all that is going on
about him. His left side is paralyzed,
but yesterday he was able to control
his left foot to certain degree. He is
reported as decidedly improved, but the
bullet is still in his brain, although
cases of a similar nature have been
known to improve and the patient live
a number of years. On the other hand
unforeseen complications may arise and
the patient die suddenly
In case of his recovery, Brinkworth
will be obliged to am wer to the law for
his action, that lc nearly resulted in
the death of himself and the woman he
claimed to love.

TEN EYCKCHOSEN
He viii Coach High School
Crew For It's Races.

Two important conferences regarding
the high school crew were held yester-
day in the English high school building.
The directors of the athletic assoeia-
ton met Immediately after the close of
school and voted to engage James A.
Ten Eyck as coach of the crew for the
coming season. The figure that the boys
will pay the veteran oarsman for his
services was not made public.
In the afternoon mass meeting of
candidates for the crew, as we'll as
those who are interested in the crew S
success was held at which time Capt.
Daily explained to the gathering-there
were about 60 present-just what would
be expected of the men
Work will begin next Monday under
the direction of Ten Eyck and will con-
tinue six nights a week. For the pres
ent training will, of course, be confined
TO the rowing machine now in place in
the top of the building and which was
purchased for the crew from E. J.
Kerns year ago.
The candidates will be divided into
squads and will row each day On Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays the
rowing will be done in the early even
ing, Wnlle on the other three DAYS of
the week the candidates will be ex-
pected to report at o'clock.
Although subscription papers or cir
culars of any nature have not as vet
been circulated, Manager Lancaster and
Capt. Daily anticipate little difficulty
IN getting the funds necessary to run
the crew. Including the debt of $3.50 now
existing, about $500 will be needed in
training the crew. This will be raised.
as in former years, by solicitation from
We'll known business men. A portion of
the money will go toward the purchase
OF second-handed boat for the second
crew, the old paper shell being no
longer available, having passed from
usefulness into decay.
Capt. DAILY, in conversation with a
spy reporter last evening, said that the
work of the crew would all be planned
with a view to the race with the Har-
ward freshmen. Whether the crew
would participate in any regattas he
could not say. Surely no large sums of
money would be expended in travelling
expenses. He thought that if the nation.
al Championships were held in Boston.
the high school might be represented.

CONFERENCE TO-DAY.

A conference between the sub-com-
mittee of the grade crossing commits
sion and the officials of the Boston and
Maine road Wilt probably take place
today, the object of which on the part
OF the committee will be to obtain, if
possible, from the Boston and Maine
oft1cials statement of what they are
willing to do in the matter of separat-
ing the grade crossings.
President Bliss has promised to sub
init definite statement of the policy
his road will pursue within a few days,
and 1t is probable that the committee
will have in hand definite propositions
from the railroad corporations to sub
NIT to the commission, so that they
may be incorporated in the commits
sion's report and submitted to the
council at the meeting January %.
Every effort will be made to get the
matter in definite shape before Febru-
airy l, but it is extremely doubtful if
this can be done. City Solicitor Rugg
has already begun work upon the bill
to be carried before the legislature as
soon as the council acts upon the COM
missions report.

SCHEDULE OUT.
Horticultural Society Presents Generous
List of Premium Offers,

The schedule of premiums of the
horticultural Society is out and Sec
rotary A. A. Hixon has mailed copies
to all the members of the society.
The schedule exhibits several new
features this year, among them the
most noticeable one being in the change
on the nature of the last exhibit of the
year, which is held on October H. In
stead OF the regular fortnightly exhibit
uon, there will be a special exhibition
TOT winch the premiums will be largely
increased in number and value. The ex-
hlpltlon Will be open from 1890 until 8
p. m. and visitors will be invited from
many other similar societies and from
the general public. Dinner will be
served and addresses will follow. The
eXnpptlon is planned as a sort of gen.
efal expose of the work of the society
Tor the benefit of the public.
/ IN general, the tendency of the pre-
mlums this year is towards a greater
llperallty than ever. Instead of the
graturties for unclassified exhibits of
special merit that have been given in
uhe past, this year there will be pre-
nlums, usually four in number at each
exhibit, for varieties not scheduled. f"
WnIch VIII serve the same purpose
line general schedule calls for a, yery
large number of varieties to be shown
at each exhibition, and gives promise
OIL a very successful year for the society.

Upton, Jan. 13.-The Upton Head
Aqueduct Society met last evening in
the town hall building. The society
voted to purchase q acres of land on
Pratt hill, to be used as a water sup

is a small reservoir now on the hiil
which supplies part of the town with
water, and over which the society have
some rights, but not all they wished
for, SO for that reason, they voted TO
purchase the land, enlarge the reser-
voir, and thus gain full control Of the

in the South Unitarian church last
evening for the benefit of the New Eng

This home has done an immense
amount of good in caring for the waits

last evening comprised selections by
Louis K. Brennan, songs by Miss Ida

themselves in their own special selec-
lions gave one of the most attractive
numbers on the program, and all the
artists appeared to the best advantage.

Marlboro, Jan. f3.--The idea of haV-
ing a cooperative shoe factory IN TINS
city, seems to meet with much favor,
say the prime movers in the project.
This morning a meeting of those inter-
ested in the movement was held at
Powderly Hall. Probably about so were
present, among them being members Of
the shoe workers unions and several
outside the pale of labor organizations.
A person that attended, said to
Spy reporter this afternoon: I'VE elect
ed a committee to more fully investi-
gate the matter, to communicate with
other cooperative organizations, in
order to draw up a set Of rules and
bylaws.
THE prospects of starting the fac
tory are very bright. We intend to
make children's shoes and union labor
will be employed exclusively. The blue
label will be used on the products of
the factory. Only three factories turn
ing out children's shoes, which bear the
union label, are in the United States.
These are in the west, 50 there should
be a good demand for what shoes we
may make
I'VE don't think there will be any
difficulty in securing the necessary
money to start the enterprise. Be
tween 40 and so hands will be employed
in the new concern"
The members of the proposed CO.
operation will hold another meeting
Sunday afternoon.
The Russell shoe factory, it may here
be stated, has been considered a suit
able place for the proposed concern tc
to start business. This factory has done
very little for several years, and it is
believed it may be secured on very
reasonable terms.
There is reason to believe that the
legislative committee Oh labor may
visit this city to investigate the labor
trouble. The order with that object in
view, which Representative Carey in
PRODUCED into the House of Represent
atives Tuesday, was laid on the table
The two representatives from here
Messrs. Balcome and Brigham, voted
for the order when it was tabled.
1t is understood that Mr.. Balcome
will ask to have the matter taken from
the table. Marlboro labor people think
1t will pass the House. and they are
very hopeful of its adoption by the
senate.
Sunday afternoon a mass meeting of
the Shoe Workers Union will be held
in city hall. Representative j. f. Ca
