ASA L. BURBANK.
Well Known Real Estate Agent Dies After
Long Illness.


After an illness of more than ten
weeks from the grip, Asa L. Burbank,
a weil-known real estate broker of this
city, died at his home, 10 William
street, at 40 o'clock Saturday after
noon.
MIR. Burbank has for many years
been prominent in real estate circles
in the city, and his death comes as a
severe blow to a large number of
friends and acquaintance. He was
born in Bridgton, Me-, July 7, 1921, and
came to Worcester in 1851, when he
opened a jewelry store.
He sold out his store at the conclu-
sion of 80 years, to George S. and Nell
son H. Davis, and soon went into the
real estate business, which he has pur-
sued since up TO the time of his fatal
illness.
He was a deacon and lifelong mem
Der of the First Baptist Church, and
was also interested in the mission on
Summer street, being superintendent
there for some years. He was one OF
the Oldest members of Quinsigamond
Lodge, /. o. o. F., and was at one time
district deputy grand master of the or.
der He has also been a member Of the
board of trustees of the Odd Fellows
Mutual Relief Association.
Mr.. Burbank leaves besides a wife
one son, Henry Burbank, of Troy, n

NEW LEAGUE.
G. 7. A. Societies May Form
Base Ball Combine.

Base ball will have more than an or
binary hold on Worcester this season.
The latest plan to be unfolded is a
league among the C. r. A. societies, a
plan which has been talked up for
several years, but owing to dissatis-
| faction among two of the societies, the
league has never been formed.
During the past winter the temper
ance societies have become more uni
ted, and as an experiment which
proved to be paying venture, q bas-
Set ball league was formed among four
of the societies. Games haye been
played twice a week. and the interest
among the friends of the societies has
more than fulfilled the expectations Of
the promoters Of the league.
Yesterday the first step toward get
ting a league going among the c. L.
A. societies, was taken by st. Johns
Guild in the election of T. H. Shea Ms
manager of the sOciety's ball team for
the year. The guilds are satisfied that
they can get enough good ball players
from their members to compete favor
ably with g. team selected from any
other organization in Worcester, and
Manager Shea will start right in TO
get options on players.
have in past years been way up in
front in base ball, and generally We're
secured as an attraction at the annual
field day of the c. T. A. societies, and
have several trophies hung up in it's
rooms, which go to show that the bail
team always gave a good account Of
itself.
In addition to getting a good team on
the diamond, the lyceum bought ground
and built ball field, which will easily
dispose Of the doubt in some peoples
minds that the G. r. A. societies would
not be able to procure u ground to play
on.
Members of all c. T. A. societies who
were seen by The Spy man yesterday,
spoke favorably of the project, and it
is an assured fact that Worcester will
at least have enough Of base ball the
coming year to suit the biggest crank
on the game that ever lived.

HOME AGAIN.
Princeton Party Return
From the Klondike.

Princeton, March 19.-H. B. Howard.
- II. Howard and 0. s. Ryerson, mem
oefs OF the H. n. Gleason party that
started for the Klondike on January %.
arrived at their homes on March 16. to
the utter surprise of their friends. The
party divided at Lake Bennett, N. w
T., on Feb %.
II; n. Gleason and a. S. Varney
1ushNo on over the ice and snow for
lawson. They were we'll and expected
no serious trouble IN getting through
pelote the ice breaks up. The weather
was me but cold-30 degrees below zero.
Inc reason for the return of the
Frlnceton members of the party was
thelr inability to carry out the plan
! mat was thought to be entirely feas-
lDle when the start was made.
Inc plan was to take over the ice a
load Of butter and sell it at top price
before the arrival of steamers. 1t was
round that one man could drive only
one. horse and a horse could draw moth
ing beside feed for himself and food and
personal effects of the driver So the
party decided to store their 200 pounds
or butter, put up in sealed cans at the
steamboat landing, and after the Ice is
out have 1t sent by freight over the
water route to Dawson.
The party had feed for only three
horses and hay was worth $500 a ton,
and grain Sc or IS per hundred. The
party laid aside all sentiment and
looked only at the cold facts and decid-
ed that 1t was better for all concerned
for them to fit out Messrs. Gleason and
Varney with provisions for horses and
men sufficient to take them through to
Dawson and for the others to return
east.
They sold horses and all unnecessary
supplies and started back over White
pass to Skaguay, which place they
reached in three days and three nights.
The party returned by Salt Lake City,
Kansas City Chicago. Buffalo and
Gardner. None of the party regrets the
trip. Tney say it is an experience of a
and was enjoyed by all They
hope to realize enough on the butter to
pay the expenses of the trip.

Passengers Afraid of
Fatal Bridge.
T0DAYS CONTEST
Millbury Moderator viii
Have a Busy Time.

Millbury, March 19-Tomorrow is the
day set for the great political battle,
and wherever a group of men can be
found it may be understood that their
conversation is concerning the coming
meeting or the accident.
Regarding the accident, many the
cries are advanced and the great ia
tality of last Wednesday night, when
car SO on the Suburban road jumped
the track and plunged into the river
80 feet below, resulting in the death
of three employees Of the road, has
caused dark cloud of gloom to hang
over the town.
Today the weather was exactly the
same as upon that fatal night, and all,
with a few exceptions, who had a
chance to cross the bridge walked
across it and then took the car at the
western side.
One of the theories which is given
considerable credence is that when the
car jumped the track it was running
with its momentum power, and il left
the rail just as it reached the bridge.
Then the motorman turned on the
power two notches, just enough to car
ry it over the height of the bridge, as
he did, so the car being grounded, he
received a terrific shock and was rem
dered unconscious. The car, aided by
its great momentum and power and the
inch and a half of solid ice on hard pine
planlls, plunged forward like an ar
row and took the fatal plunge.
Other theories ere given by expert
electricians that the cause was either
In the rail or else the mechanism of the
cars.
1t was learned today that there was
car on the road which was in the
habit of jumping, but the cause was
never learned. If it did not result in
an accident everything went well. but
if any part of the car was disigured or
any injured the cause was attributed to
the motorman, and he was speedily dis
charged.
The same car figured in the accident
in the woods" some two years ago
and the motorman, j. A. Beauchermin
always claimed that the fault was in
the car.
The ice storm today was very severe
and many shade and fruit trees were
broken with their extra burden of ice
