Dixon is not known to have called
upon his brother clergy here. The only
acquaintance enjoyed by Worcester
ministers of the Baptist faith has been
through association at Boston.
In his trips to the city, Rev. DR.. DIX
on has been a visitor at the insur-
ance office of Albert II. Chaffee, VINO

Amerman, and in this way he has come
to know the divine AS DR.. Dixon
was practically a stranger to the Wor-
cester people, his visits to mis- son both
at the academy and at the residence
of Mrs. Amerman, where the latter
made his home during his school
course have been known only to
few.
The friends of Mrs. Dixon claim that
she tried TO get her son away from
Mrs Amerman's house, and protested
against his residing there. but with
out avail. The son, Rollin Dixon, taxes
his fathers part in the family troubles,
and since his mothers alleged protest
has remained with Mrs. Amerman.
When asked last evening il she
would remain here, Mrs. Amerman
turned and said: DO your suppose |
am going to fly away?" She said that
she had no other place to which to go,
and was not at all apprehensiye of the
result. She is determined to face the
matter. but again states that she has
not yet engaged counsel. feeling confi-
dent that this suit will be dropped as
have the preceding three.

She had received no official information
from the court, and had no formal in
timation of the action at ALL She re-
iteraued her statement that the alleged
suit was merely Il case of persecution.
In talking more freely of her &C
quaintance with Rev. DR.. Dixon, she
said that his family went from Phila-
delphia to Scranton, and that While she
lived in Philadelphia, she had no
knowledge of the existence of the Dixon
family For this reason. she could not
be held accountable for any friction be-
tween the doctor and his wife, which
occurred a Philadelphia, where Mrs.
Dixon brought suit against a lady for
the alienation Of her husbands affec-
lions.
Mrs. Amerman states that two suits

was in Auburn, n. Y. Mrs. Amerman
said as regards these suits: Il could
not have been the woman in these suits,
as l never saw Dr.. Dixon until he went

first troubles arose between Dr. Dixon
and his wife, / was a little girl of eight

been the cause of much trouble to her
at that age"

FREEZE OUT
The Ice Combination
Is After
THE NEW COMPANY.
Formers Cut Price Is Met
By the Old Dealers.

Twenty-Five cents per 100 pounds.
This has been the announced price
card of the new Worcester Ice Com
pany, and what will surprise the pub
lie more is that it is the new price card
of the associated ice dealers.
About a week ago the Worcester Ice
Company had it's price cards printed,
and some of the dealers in regular
business saw this. And now it is a
case of Greek meets Greek in soliciting
for the patronage of the dear public.
During the past year the associated
ice dealers charged SO 1-3 cents per 100
pounds of ice, but when the new COM
pany announced its position they were
agreeable to a reduction, and now ice
patrons may get their ice anywhere
under the new conditions at the rate of
% cents per 100 pounds.
E. 7. Hutchins, who is general direct
or of the Worcester Ice Company, said
yesterday that there was no rivalry
between the associated dealers and the
Worcester Ice Company, of which he
is the guiding spirit He was on
friendly terms with them all His
company was in the field with the COM
mercial instinct, that is for what there
is in it.
General Manager Hutchins said that
his company had harvested between
1000 and 5000 tons of ice at Lake Quin-
sigamond. The ice barns have been
built at the old Wesson farm and are
filled to their highest capacity. Already
orders are said to be coming into Man
ag'er Hutchins as fast as snoWfiakes
and without any solicitation.
The Worcester Ice Company has three
of four teams available, and yesterday
they made their first delivery. Mr..
Hutchins resides on June street, and
nearly all the residents there have come
to him asking to be placed on his or
der book. Manager Hutchins does not
anticipate that his supply of 5000 tons
win last but few months, and when
this is exhausted he has made arrange
ments to bring to the city equally good
ice from big dealers elsewhere to sup
ply the local demand. This ice he will
sell at the same rate of % cents per
100 pounds, which he charges for the
Quinsigamond ice.
One of the most significant actions
showing the popular favor that has
been accorded the new company is that
the Worcester Butchers and Grocers
Association asked Manager Hutchins
to make a contract to deliver for the
entire association. While no contract
of this kind has been signed as yet the
new company has arranged to supply
many of the members of the associa-
ton.

ny of her daughter, Mrs. Edward F.
Sheridan, at Batchelder street.
"A week ago last Tuesday Mrs
Ahearn went to Fftchburg to visit her
son, John Ahearn, and the last of the
week started for East Rindge to visit
friends. Her relatives are of the opin-
ION that she made a mistake and left
the train a the wrong station in Ash
burnham, and after wandering about
as stated above was overcome and died
by the roadside.
Early yesterday morning the local
police received word from Fitchbug
that individuals in that city had iden-
titled the body, and that the dead wom-
ans daughters live in Worcester. A
short time afterward Mr. Tyter came
to headquarters and told the officers
that he was convinced from the de-
scription that the woman was his wife's
mother. He Went to Winchendon on
the LAS train and saw the body at
Matthews undertaking rooms and
identified it as that of his mother-in-
law
The suicide theory has been entirely
exploded. The autopsy developed no
sign of poison. The fact that an odor
of oil of cloves was noticeable about
the dead woman. and that bottle of
the liquid was found in her pocket, is
accounted for by her relatives. Mrs.
Ahearn has been bothered by tooth
ache for a long time past and used the
oil to ease the pain.
Aside from this fact there was moth
ing in her life that would indicate such
a step being premeditated. Her family
relations were most pleasant. She had
been troubled with pleurisy at times,
but so far as her relatives know had no
other physical disability.
Mrs. Ahearn leaves three daughters,
Mrs. Joseph T. Tyler and Mrs. Edward
f. Sheridan of this city, and Miss An
ME Ahearn of Fitchburg, and one son,
John Ahearn of Fitchburg. The body
will be taken to Fitchburg for burial
this morning.

The exhibition was well managed, but
the work of the referee, Sam Austin, was
the worst ever seen here. Broderick was
clearly entitled to 81 draw, as he landed

is assured that if athletics are support
