GRIDLEY'S WIFE

Erie, Pa, Nov. 27.-The widow of

family of the men who, under Dewey,
led the flagship over sunken mines,
past frowning fort and into the thick
est of the fight on that day when the

Girl CONVICT IMPERSON-

Springfield, Ill, Nov. 27.-There is in
the county Jail at Hillsboro, in this
state, convict, until recently confined
in the mems penitentiary at Chester,
whom the authorities discovered by ac-
cident 10 be a woman. The name she
is known by is Ellis Glenn, but in a
statement today she insisted that this
is really the name of her brother, whom
she impersonated in order to save him
from The clutches of the law.
The warden of the penitentiary does
not believe this part of her story, but
thinks that she herself, while masquer-
aiding as a man, committed the crime
of which she was convicted.

COT $500 A MINUTE
FOR r MINUTES.

Brooklyn, Nov. 27-The pastor and
the congregation of the James Method
ist Episcopal church at Madison street
and Reid avenue are joyful today in
the knowledge that their debt of $36, =
900 is wiped out.
The mortgage on the church property
has been for long time a thorn in the
side of it's young pastor, the Rev. O..
F. Bartholomew.
The pastors eloquence has filled the
church every Sunday since his advent,
and last night was no exception. But
the worshippers, on entering the audi
forum, were greatly surprised to see,
back of the desk, an enormous black
board 1t was divided by blank col
umns, with spaces for subscriptions
ranging from $40 to $500.
The pastor plunged at once into the
subject of the mortgage. He said it was
the duty of the members to clear this
house of God from debt, and, pointing
to the blackboard, he added that there
was no time like the present to do it.
Il want to test the willingness of this
congregation to take up this duty and
do it," the pastor said, Let those
who desire to give toward the mort
gage mention the amount, and 1 will

INSURRECTION FEARED ,
Alarmist Reports Say That
Cuba is About to
Revolt.

Havana, Nov. 27.-Nothing is known
at headquarters in this division or in
General Lees to justify the report, pub
lished in the United States and cabled
here, that a thousand armed Cuban in
surgents have taken to the woods in the
province of Pinar Del Rio, and that
general uprising against the Americans
has been planned for Thanksgiving day
Indeed, the story is absolutely discred-
tied by the American authorities, who
say it is impossible that anything of
the kind should have happened or
should be in prospect without the
knowledge of it coming to some army
post.
Rumors of more or less alarmist
character have for some time been plen-
tiful around Havana. 1t is said, for in
stance, that this general or that is
about to take to the woods, and it is
apparently true that certain men are
nursing programs hostile to the Ameri-
can administration. But the spread of
the campaign of education is doing a
great deal to offset the influence of such
people, and in any event, no trouble
whatever is likely to occur until after
congress meets.
1t is fact, however, that many Am
orleans here believe that if nothing is
done toward giving the Cubans some
definite assurances, if not a precise
date, regarding the independence of the
island, there will be a rising of some
sort, although opinions differ widely
with regard to what it will amount to,
Some believe that the malcontents will
be practically bandits, easily controlled
by few troops. Others hold that the
rising would be formidable and would
call for large American force

DEATH OF c. r. MYRIcK.

Charles T. Myrick, for number of
years conductor on the Norwich and
Worcester and later on the Boston,
Barre and Gardner Railroad now
part of the Fitchburg system died at
his home, Wachusett street, Sunday
afternoon at o'clock, after a long sick
ness from heart disease. He was born
in Princeton, Oct. 20, 1888, and lived
there during the early part of his life.
When the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad opened, he was appointed
passenger conductor, and ran the first
train over the road. He had a wide
circle of friends and acquaintance. He
was taken sick last winter and passed
the summer in Princeton, returning to
Worcester about two months ago. His
father was Caleb S. Myrick, prominent
in Princeton town affairs. He was a
member of Montacute lodge, A. F. and
A. M, Eureka chapter, r. A. NJ Hi

cester county commandery, knights

Sarah p. Smith of Princeton, who sur
wives him, also one son, Harry S. My
rick, connected with the Worcester Mu-
tual Insurance Company.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock at Wachusett
street and the body will be taken to
Princeton for burial.

Whittall, owner of the WhittaH carpet
mills, from the plan to unite the bust
ness of his concern with that of the
Lowell Manufacturing Co. and the Big
Glow Carpet Co., as previously announc-
ed, has necessitated a change in the
plans of the new corporation. 1t is in
tended to carry out the original plan as
far as the Lowell and Bigelow compa-
MES are concerned and to that end their
stockholders are being called together
early in December
The Lowell Manufacturing Company's
meeting is to take place on December ),
to consider, as before, the proposal to
sell all assets, both real and personal,
to new corporation to be incorporated
under the laws of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts,, the same to be paid for
in stock of such new corporation of the
par value of $2,030,000, and by the as
sumption by such new corporation of
all the outstanding debts and liabilities
OF the Lowell Manufacturing Co., and
to wind up the affairs and close up the
concern OF the Lowell Manufacturing
Co. and dissolve the corporation.
The price to be paid for the Bigelow
Co. remains the same, 81, 100000, which
includes all the real estate and machin-
cry good will, patents and trademarks,
together with an amount of it's quick
assets equivalent to $1,000 900 in value.
The stockholders of the Lowell Manu-
featuring Co. will receive seven shares
of stock in such new corporation, of the
par value of 500 each, for each share
of stock in the Lowell Manufacturing
Co. held by them. Under the present
plan, the capitalization of the new COM
pany will be 900 instead of 81, 400, =
900, sum which represents the actual
value Of the two concerns that are COM
