From there l went to Lucerne, Switz-

BANKER FINED $40.
He Assaulted Former Worcester
Newspaper Reporter.

Newspaper Reporter.
Athol, Nov. 11.-W. D. Lucy, cashier
of the Millers River National bank and
treasurer of the Athol Savings bank,
was arraigned in the district court to-
day, charged with assaulting George C.
Bishop, Athol correspondent of the
Gardner Daily News.
The story of the assault which hap
pened on election day, when Bishop was
struck and kicked by the bank cashier,
as already told, was gone over again
today Bishop testified to the kicking
and other events in connection. Henry
B, Hamilton, William C. Lord and Levi
Bosworth all testified in behalf of the
correspondent. The story brought out
was that Bishop, through his paper,
supported Charles Carruth, who was
elected to the legislature last Tuesday,
and by referring to a certain faction as
/ tie bank clique" gained their enmity,
which resulted in the assault alluded
to.
Bishop refused to compromise, and
the defendant pleaded not guilty when
the charge was read Mr.. Lucy offered
no defense of and declined to cross-ex-
anime the witnesses. He was found
guilty of the charge and fined $40. He
appealed and was held in the sum OF
5000 for his appearance before the SUI
perior court in December.
The victim of the assault is well
known in Worcester from his connec-
ton with Worcester newspapers. He
was also connected with private ven
ture which has had as an object fur
nishing base ball scores during the
summer months.

cester. Calcium and electric effects

tacular part of the piece will be ar
ranged regardless of expense.

ton, so that almost every one in the
city will have personal interest in it's
success. The whole is in the charge of
Capt. c. w. Eddy of New York, who
has produced other successful operas
here at different times, and who in
tends to make prince Ramon" the
greatest of them all.

Nine. Nordica thus expressed herself
on her arrival here yesterday afternoon
to make ready for the opening of the
grand opera season. This truly Amer
lean prima donna has lost none of her
beauty, and if anything her visit
abroad and sojourn during the sum
mer in the mountains have added to
her many graces.
When Nine. Nordica reached her
rooms at the Auditorium Annex she
was agreeably surprised and made no
effort to conceal the pleasure which
the testimonials awaiting her there af-
forded her. Each nook and corner
contained flowers. Nine. Nordica came
directly from New York where she ar
