WAS SUDDEN
After Day Of Fishing, Chas.
W. Mills Expires.

southbridge, Jan. 27.-Charles w.
Mills, a well known and popular young
man Of this town. died suddenly this
evening of Brights disease of the kid
neys at the age of SO years. The death
came as great shock to his friends,
as but few IL any Of them had any
knowledge that Mr.. Mills was suffer-
ing from this disease.
This morning Mr.. Mills, in company
with II. S. Cheney, went to the pond
at Arbutus Park to enjoy a days fish
ing. He seemed to be in excellent health
and spirits. About $50 o'clock Mr..
Cheney and Mr.. Mills began the work
of picking up the fishing traps prepar-
atory to the journey homeWard.
Mr.. Cheney was working with his
back toward Mr.. Mills and was talking
to Mr.. Mills. Finally, the failure Of
Mr. Mills to reply to Mr.. Cheney's
intsrrogations caused the latter to look
about.
Mr.. Cheney was shocked to find his
friend and companion lying upon the
ice in an unconscious state. 1t was
with some difficulty that Mr.. Cheney
finally conveyed Mr.. Mills to the shore.
AS soon as possible, the unfortunate
man was placed in Mr.. Cheney's car
riage and driven rapidly to his home.
A doctor was summoned and every
thing possible was done to revive the
unconscious man, but to no purpose,
and he died at $50 o'clock this evening.
An examination developed the fact that
death was caused by Bright's disease,
! which had developed very rapidly.
| Mr.. Mills was S6 years Of age and
was one of the most popular men in
| Southbridge. He has lived in this town
since his boyhood, and for several
years has been connected with the
American Optical Company He was
a member of Southbridge Lodge of Odd
/ Fellows, and has been for several years
connected with Steamer !.
| Mr.. Mills leaves q wife, but no chill
dren. The news Of the untimely death
spread about town tonight, and upon
all sides were expressions Of profound
sorrow.

a selection by the w. A. Prouty or
chestra, the commencement of a pleas
ing concert, which lasted until S.45. At
this time the Hayseed band, twelve
pieces, composed of musicians clad in
the very worst and shabbiest cos

Promptly at nine o'clock the Hayseed
band poured forth the strains of a
beautiful march, 10 the time of which
100 couples, dressed in every variety of
burlesque and poverty costumes, en-
tered the hall. The march was led by
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Ratigan, fol-
lowed by the other fourteen members

Mr.. and Mrs Ratigan looked very
fine, the former being clad in the cos
tune of an English noble, while Mrs.
Ratigan wore a Dolly Warden suit.
The march proved TO be one of the
finest features of the evening, the pret-
tiest move of which was the forming
of a large star, which covered nearly

figure the march receives the name of
the Northern star, and is pronounced
by people well versed on the subject

Milford, Jan. 27.-Internal Revenue
Inspector Keefe is in town today look
ing up Italians who have been sup
posed to be conducting a banking and
brokerage business without a license.

ker, paid $50 fine and $25 of penalty,
for carrying on business without a
proper license.
John f. Simmons, Esq, counsel for
the Grafton, Upton and Milford Street
Railway Company, says that there is
no question but what the road will be
built this coming summer. Owing to
the illness of Mr.. Whielden, the COM
panys financial hacker, affairs have
been at a standstill for the past few
weeks. but now that he is recovering,
active measures will be taken by the
| stockholders of the company towards
| effecting a permanent organization.
Mr.. Simmons says he has plan un-
| der consideration that he hopes will
satisfactorily obliterate the difficulty
| existing on account of the railroad
commissioners refusal to allow the
construction of the Farnumsville ex-
| tension under the company's original
decree. and the selectmen's demand
that the extension to Farnumsville be
built at the same time as the rest of

WHAT THE RED HAT COSTS.
(From the Glasgow Mail,


The red hat Of the cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any,
except their very best, crowns. Before
accepting It. the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the propaganda and
to his titular church at Rome and. pay
fees to a long list Of officials, ranging
from chamberlains Of the vatican down
of the Swiss Guard, Indeed the new
cardinal. has to pay fees at every step,
from the moment Of his creation to the
occasion of his receiving the red hat
in public consistory, and when ali Is
over he finds himself out Of pocket Ia
the extent Of $500 at least.

STATE POLICE
Watch Marlboro Situation
But All Was Quiet.

Marlboro, Jan. 27-Chief Wade Of
the state police came to this city today
and with Mayor Plunkett drove to the
different factories and watched the
operatives come from work this even
ing.
His visit to the factories was prob
ably made for the purpose of person.
ally seeing the condition Of affairs.
There was no trouble Of any kind man
ifested. and the non-unionists passed
their way in peace.
Besides the chief several others OF
the state officials are here There
seems nothing for them to do. The only
reason that can be ascribed for their
inspire respect for the majesty of the
law.
At a dance held by strikers in Pow
derly hall this evening, a girl who
works in one Of the factories happened
to be among the dancers. 1t did not
take long for the strikers to discover
her identity, and soon she was re-
moved from the hall.
Despite all reports to the contrary
there is no extended suffering among
the strikers. Money has come in fairly
well from outside the past few days
and has been turned over to the diff
ferent unions for distribution among
their strikers.
The representatives of the Marlboro
labor organizations are still in the
west and are reported to be doing good
work. Marlboro shoeworkers still con-
tinue to leave the town, and are rap
idly securing positions in the large
shoe centers. The strike is proving a
costly experiment for Marlboro, but
nothing seems able to bring an agree
ment between the two parties. Con-
ference after conference has been held
but all to no avail
