A SAD STORY.
Young Rutland Woman Committed to
the Insane Asylum.

Young Rutland Woman Committed to
the Insane Asylum.
Mrs. Lena M. Adams, "a years of age,
whose home is in Rutland, was com
mitted to the Worcester insane asylum
Monday, and the physicians at that in
stitution doubt if she will ever leave the
place alive.
A sad story is connected with her
committal. A few years ago she was
Miss Lena M. Woods, and at that time
was considered one of the prettlest
girls in the town of Rutland. On her
18th birthday she went to work for
John Adams as housekeeper and mad
been in his employ but one year when
he asked her to be his wife. He was
II years old at the time, but she con-
sented. and for time the couple lived
happily
June /. 1895, her husband, who was n
years old, and her father, who was 62
quarFeiied. and her father shot and in
stantly killed his son-in-law. He hen
few moments after.
Mrs. Adams never recovered from
the shock. Her husband left a few
thousand dollars after his death, but
much of it was eaten up in litigation,
and in a few months she was Obliged
to take boarderS to secure a living.
Overwork and incessant worry caused
her mental troubles. She has one child.

WHEN THE LEASE .ExP1REs.

Mr. Vanderbilt, of the New York
Central, has made a covenant with the
Boston and Albany, covering a period
of 1000 years, less one. 1t is quite a
stretch of time 1t might be said to be
a railroad arrangement connecting
time and eternity. When this 999-year
contract runs out there will be very
few of us left-very few. BY that time
there will have been some changes up
the things and institutions which we
now know will have passed away.
3 When the lease expires the New York
Central trains will be running between
Albany and Boston without steam,
electricity or liquid air. The single
rail tracks will cross no highway or
avenue at grade. Boston will be con-
tiguous to Albany by the existing
schedule. The New York Central s
chief competitor will be the Aerial
Transit Company, cutting the journey
down to d matter of minutes and af-
fording an unsurpassed bird s-eye view
of the Berkshire hills.
When the lease expires the Boston
bean Joke win have been inurned for
centuries; the matchmaking of the
anti-imperialists will not be entirely
abandoned, but nearly so; the Albany
capitol will be approaching completion
and the image vendors will show the
bust Of Roosevelt in their Parthenon
Lobbyists may arrange with the cash
Ter at the state house door for the in
fiuence OF such legislators as have not
been engaged.
When the lease runs outin 2S9S Man
haitian may have rapid transit and fair
local government; but good citizens
should not expect too much all at once.

BUSINESS MAN DIES.
S. NJ. Richardson, of With
erby, Rugg &Richardson,
Passes Away.

Seneca M. Richardson, of the firm
of Witherby. Rugg & Richardson, died
at his home, IL Murray avenue, about
10 o'clock last night.
Mr. Richardson has been in poor
health since December, when he suf-
fered an attack of grip. He has been
about, however, and able to attend to
business until 10 weeks ago yesterday,
when he was taken i'll at his office.
Since that time he has been confined
to the house, suffering from comph-
cation of diseases which ended in
pneumonia brought on by weakness.
Mr.. Richardson was one OF Worces-
ter's Oldest and best known business
men. Frank and outspoken, of nat
uTally genial disposition, he made
friends and kept them. He was retir-
ing and transformations by nature, a
| thorough business man, looked up to
and respected by his employees.
He was born in Corinth, VT, Dec. 8.
1929, and was the son of Wyman Rich
ardson. He came to Worcester when a
boy, and worked for a time in a dry
goods store conducted by B. L. Harding
in the old Lincoln House block. He
| learned the trade of a machiniSt at an
early age, becoming thorough me-
chanic in all branches. He was con-
neCleu Win the Cleveland Macnlne co.
for som time and in 1864 went
into business for himself, being assoc
ciated with L. B. Witherby and Gilbert
]. Rugg, under the firm name of With
erby, Rugg g. Richardson. The firm
started business with a force of 20 men
in the Armsby building, locating after
ward in the factory at the corner of
Central and Union Streets and subse-
| quently removing to the present loca-
! ton of the firm, rs Salisbury street.
| Mr.. Richardson was born mechanic,
coming from family noted for me-
chanical ingenuity. He took charge of
! the practical part of the business from
the start, continuing the superintend-
ency until failing health made active
| work impossible.
| In politics, Mr.. Richardson was a re-
publican. He was elected a member
of the board of aldermen from ward /,
| in 1880, but aside from this, never held
municipal office. He was a member of
Morning Star Lodge of Masons, and a
charter member of Quinsigamond
| Lodge. He was also a member of Eu-
reka Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Hi
ram Council, and Worcester County
| Commandery, Knights Templar.
He leaves a widow and one daughter
Mrs. William H. Brigham, of this city
Funeral arrangements have not been
| completed.

THEY DON'T WANT IT
Voters Are Not Shout
ing; For Special
Election.
MAYOR DODGE is UNDECIDED.
Will Hold a Conference
With City Solici-
tor Today.
MAYOR DODGE IS UNDECIDED.

Matters relative to state and munich
pal politics we're apparently at stand
still yesterday.
People generally do not express a de-
sire for a special election to fill the va
cancy in the board of aldermen. Men
in ward even, who favor the candida
cy of Louis J. Kendall, do not want an
election, but if there is one they will do
their utmost to land the candidate of
their choice
Mayor Dodge is not quite decided rel
ative 10 which course should be pur-
sued. He considers the clause in the
charter directory rather than manda =
tory, and that. the question is in tho
hands of the board Of aldermen. From
what he has heard, the mayor is of
the opinion that q special election Will
be largely matter of public senti-
ment. If any person or number of per-
sons see fit to apply to the courts an
election would follow of necessity, but
whether such an election is for the best
interests of the city is a question with
him.
1t was learned yesterday unofficially
that the mayor and city solicitor would
have conference on the subject today,
when some sort Of decision regarding
action In the matter would be arrived
at.
The democrats have taken no action
as yet. A rumor started yesterday was
to the effect that Enoch Earle had been
named by his friends as a possible can
dldate for the office, but the rumor IS
vigorously denied by Mr.. Earle. who
says he would not accept the nomina-
ton at this time under any considera-
tion.
Another story current yesterday was
that certain election day officials are
anxious to have a special election and
are doing all IN their power to bring
such action about. Certain members Of
the republican city committee are also
quoted as being DESTROYS that the cleo
tion should be held
The Guild-Bates campaign developed
nothing new yesterday. Frank L. Dean
is expected in Worcester tomorrow, and
the series of meetings which has been
interrupted by his absence will prob
ably be resumed.
James Hunt said yesterday that very
little was being done by the Bates
forces, although there will probably be
meetings Of the different ward commit
tees the last Of the week. Mr., Hunt
says there is an apparent indifference
among the voters at this time Many
are away and the real work of the
campaign will not be In active opera
ton for some time.
Reports from different sections of the
state seem to indicate a warm contest,
eliminating Sept 26 and 81, the dates
set for the caucuses. Each side is striv-
Ing to land as many delegates as posi-
BILE on the first day, hoping that che
showing made at the start will influ-
enoe action of the second day in the
same direction. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made to hold the Bos-
ton caucuses on the first night for this
reason.
From the present estimates, the con-
test looks about even, taking the en-
tire state into consideration, although
both factions still adhere to a belief
that they are in the majority.

RETURN FROM THE WEST
worcester People Witnessed the Re-
view of Returned Volunteers From
Manila.

Miss Alice H. Bedding, principal of
the Abbott street grammar school, re-
turned Monday from a five weeks
western trip filled with incidents which
are of unusual interest, owing to a
combination of circumstances that the
party of which Miss Belding was a
member met with.
She left Worcester July for Los An
geles, Cal, with a party Of about fif-
teen Worcester people, all of whom
We're bound for the same place with the
intention Of attending the convention of
the National Educational Association,
which was in session at that city from
July IL to 15
The trip across the continent was
hlled with pleasure until the party
crossed the Rocky mountains, when
they encountered a washout. The party
was held up for ten hours, and could
not proceed until a gang of men had
been secured to repair the railroad
tracks
AT the close of the convention in Los
Angeles, Miss Bedding and several
members of the party went to San
Francisco, where they visited the
Preside and saw the First Oregon,
regiment, which had just returned from
the Philippine islands.
While many members of the regi-
ment were sick and showed signs of the
recent campaign in the Philippines
Miss Bedding does not think they begin
to look nearly as bad as Worcester
boys who returned from Cuba. Many
of them were able to be around and APP
parently were in as good shape physic-
ally as ever, They seemed to enjoy life
and lacked the WORKOUT appearance of
Worcester soldiers seen on the streets
of this city after the Cuban campaign.
General Shafter reviewed the troops
the day the Worcester party was at
the Preside, and the Oregon boys made
a good showing.
Later the party made a trip to Ia
coma, Seattle and Portland, and on
the train number of the Oregon boys
accompanied them.
The party also made a trip through
the Yosemite valley, and also visited
Yellowstone park, where the strange
freaks of nature for which both places
are noted thoroughly pleased the visit
ors Two members of the party Mrs.
Emma Porter and Miss Elizabeth Ran
dali, left on a trip to Alaska. Tacoma
and Seattle both show signs of the
Klondike BOOM and the influx of trav-
elers seems to make a material differ
ence In the business of both places.

and nourishment had not entered into

It's only a "tenderfoot " farmer that
would try such an experiment with a

c. Herbert De Fosse. sealer of weights
and measures, has sent out notices to
collectors of old rags and junk, that
they should call at his office, and have
their scales sealed, before Sept l. I'M
der penalty of prosecution. Yesterday
was record breaker with the sealers
OF weights and measures, so far as the
approval of dry measures used by local
dealers is concerned. The arrests
which have followed the use of i'm
perfect measures during the past few
days seems to have had a good effect
The team, which was captured when
two men were arrested the other day,
and Of which they denied ownership is
still in the hands of the police The
men arrested claimed that a third man,
who made his escape, was the owner
Of the outfit.
Several out of town milk men called
at the office yesterday for Information
as to whether or not the sealer OF
weights and measures, in their re-
spective towns, is entitled to charge for
sealing milk bottles. The ruling, as
understood in the Worcester office, is
that If an official receives a salary, be
1t ever so small, he has no right to
charge for the work, although owners
of bottles must take the goods to his
office. If a sealer receives no salary
from the town or city in which he is
located he may charge a reasonable
amount for the work.

NIGHT BLOOMING cEREUs.

Plant Owned by Officer Mason Attracts
Much Attention on Main Street.
A night-blooming cereus owned by
officer w. Fl. Mason attracted much at
tention in the window of Green's drug
store last night. The plant, which is
an unusually fine specimen, had bios
SONS open last night, in addition to
which there are a number of buds
which will bloom In day or two. The
window was surrounded by a curious
crowd all the evening, and all admired
the beautiful blossoms.
