MORE SUITS.
Suburban Sued Tor $4,000
For Kerregan's Death.

Catherine Kerigan of Leicester, as
Administrative of the estate Of John
Kerigan, brought suit in the superior
court yesterday afternoon through her
counsel, William C. Mellish and George
H. Olney, against the Worcester &
Suburban Street Railway Company, to
recover $4,000 for the death of Mr..
Kerrigan, who was the first fatal VIC
tim of the Leicester collision Of Dec.
21st.
The suit is an action of tort, and
made returnable in the superior court
the first Monday in March. 1t will be
recalled from the story in The Spy,
that Kerigan, who was the first to be
taken from the telescoped cars, lived
but a few minutes after the accident,
dying in a neighbours house situated
near the scene of the accident. Mrs.
Kerigan was appointed Administrative
of her husbands estate some time
ago.
The case is properly an action to re-
cover for the death of the PLAINTIFF S
interstate, under the acts of 1888, and
also for the conscious suffering under
the common law. Tie notice of the
suit and the writ in the action itself
were both served Ipoa the defendant
road yesterday BY Deputy Sheriff
James Early.

for exactly rs years. Mr. Dumas was a
wire drawer, and earned anywhere from
S15 to $40 a week. He was married
twelve years ago to Miss Eta Bercune
of Wire village, who died in 1892
The following year Mr.. Dumas was
again married, this time to Miss Selma
Hetu of the same village, who now sur
wives him. The dead man is father of
three children, Rosie, II years of age,
Charlie, four years, and a baby only
four months Besides his wife and
family, Mr., Dumas is survived by his
father. Francis Dumas, and three
brothers Toflle, Louis, and Edward.
all Of whom reside in Wire Village, and
are employees of the Spencer Wire
Company,
Mrs. Dumas told The Spy man this
afternoon that she could not in any
manner account for this terrible trag
edy. She thought, however, that her
husband was undoubtedly insane at
the time, his insanity being perhaps
brought on by the grip.

YALE'S VIEWS.
Official Statements of Her
Position in News.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 20. - The Yale
News today has long editorial in COM
ment upon the situation which has re-
suited from Cornels announcement of
her inability to accept the Harvard and
Yale invitation to row at New -London
next June.
The firmness with which the matter is
treated has given rise to the belief that
the editorial is practically an official state
ment of Yale's position
After rehearsing the DEVELOPMENT of the
situation, the News says:
And now what is to be said of the
actlons of the three universities?
rof FIrist Cornell is certainly justified in
refusing to row at New London if she
considers the course unfair, inaccessible.
or In any way unsuitable to her crew or

consent to play foot ball with her She is
also justified in refusing to row.
Next, Harvard is in quite as free a DO

is debtor, it is Cornell
And now Yale, We hear it said that
,l1 aae IS falctatorial insincere, afraid and
ntnngratetul, dictatorial in trying to force
the victor to accept her DEGREES.
Yale IS not dictatorial. She does NOT
command; she invites.

CHARLES DUMAS
Sends a Bullet Crashing
Through His Brain.

Spencer, Jan. AT ten minutes of
this morning, another sad suicide was
added to the RAPIDLY growing list thar
has shocked the quie; citizens of Spen-
Ger during the past two weeks.
Exactly two weeks ago this morn
ing Henry Hammond took his life for
no cause that is yet known to men; the
following Saturday evening Mrs. VIII
liam H. Prouty followed Mr.. Ham
mond's example, and now another
Young man, living in the most pros
porous circumstances, Charles Dumas
ny name, bu, better known as Joe. +"
mas committed he same act. The cause
OF TINS strange and unexpected suicide
Is as much Of a mystery as the two
previous, and viii probably never be
known until the book Of life is opened
and the final trump sounded
The only possible cause that can be
attributed TO MIR. Dumas strange act
is that he was temporarily insane. Since
last Monday morning the suicide has
Deem half sick with the grip. and unable
TO work. and for the past two DAYS has
acted in a peculiar manner.
In fact, last night and this morning
he was in such bad shane that Mrs
Dumas arose at o'clock and went to
