Next Legislature.

Boston. May 9.-The House today
gave up the greater part of its time to
the consideration Of the bill to abolish
the death penalty in this state, and at
ter listening to the same old arguments
in its favor that have been brought
forward every year. accepted the re-
port of the committee on the judiciary,

it is expected that it will pass. To-
morrow is to be devoted to several tax
alton bills, and the entire day will be
probably taken up with them. The

The minimum age at which students
man over % years is not wanted al
though many are taken. The trustees
of the school have learned from expe-

age will not apply himself to study as
well as younger man, and
there is no time to be wasted
at Mortified. All denominations and
at present 10 nationalities are repre-
sented in the student body. Most of
the students are there by their own
free will, and several are benefited by
scholarships. Any young man whose
father can afford to send him to col
lege is not wanted, and will not be ac-
cepted. Several offers Of $500 and
more have been made to accept stu
dents. but Mr.. Moody said they would
not be taken if $4,000 was offered. The
students do all the work at the school,
and all work two hours day on the
farm. There are 200 head of cattle, 20
horses, 80 acres of land, a steam laun-
dry and many other cares for the young
men. The school trains man for
whatever gift he has, and courses fit
ting for business, college or theology
are offered.
About 100000 books were distributed
last year, and Mr.. Moody thinks the
work paid for itself thousand times

MOODY IN TOWN.
Great EvangelistTells
Of Work in the
Prisons.
HIS THREE SCHOOLS
All Branches Of His Labors
Interestingly
Discussed.

Dwight L. Moody of Mortified, the
great evangelist spoke at Trinity
Church last night in the interests of
his work among prisoners in jails,
houses of correction and penitentiaries
of the country. The announcement
that Mr.. Moody was to speak in Wor-
cester and his reputation more than his
subject drew an audience that nearly
filled the church.
Mr.. Moody's appearance in Worces-
ter came about through lack of train
connections to get him to Mortified
last night. He is a trustee of Welles-
ley College, and attended a meeting at
the college yesterday. He came into
Worcester last night, and to a Spy man
talked interestingly of the schools in
which he is interested, and his work
for the past six months.
Speaking of the schools, he said, the
three embraced about 1900 students.
Mt. Vernon Academy is at Gill and a
seminary for young ladies is at North
field and the other at Chicago Each
school has between 400 and 800 enrolled.
The Mt. Hermon school is presided over
by ]. ]. Janeway Of New Brunswick, N.
j., and the young ladies' seminary has
H. M. Moon of Boston for president.
Mr.. Moody is president of the Chicago
school, At Mt Hermon students are
taken between the ages of 16 and 25.
The school is intended to assist worthy
young men to an education. The cost
is $1,000, but the youths are taken in for
800 and given tuition and board for a
year for that amount. The other $100
is furnished by subscriptions.
There are about so buildings at
Mortified given to the use of the two
schools, and more will be built in few
years. The latest building constructed
is a dormitory. accommodating 100, the
corner stone Of which was laid last May

By the verdict of the jury for the de-
PENDANT, Paul Henry, it was decided
that there was no legal or valid sigma
ture of his on the note in question. Mr..

court for Instructions as to the date
from which interest should be comput
ed. Judge Hopkins instructed them to
compute the interest from the date Of
the notes. the rate being per cent,
and after quarters of an hour had
elapsed in the computation of interest
the jury reported.

change company against George Bieber-
bach ct ais. the jury assessed damages
for $3359. 60, in the case against the Wor-
cester Brewing company, damages at
$3.50 so, and in the case against George
Bieberbach ct ais, damages at $5G4S.22,
as regards the liability of Paul Henry,
the verdict being for the defendant.
The court ordered special verdict
for the defendant, Paul Henry, which
frees him frim liability for the note,
which was signed by George Bieberach
ct ais, who will have to bear the burden
themselves. Hopkins, Smith & Hop
kins appeared for the Produce Elk
change company; Thayer & Rugg,
Gen. lockwood Hoar, Dodge & Taft for
the defendant, Paul Henry ct ais.

JACKSON IN THE BOAT.
Veteran Joins the High School Crew for
First Time Yesterday.

Charles B. S. Jackson, veteran of the
high school crew, reported with the can
didates for this years crew yesterday
afternoon and resumed training for the
race with the Harvard freshmen, two
weeks from Saturday. Jackson started
training with the squad at the first call,
but was obliged to stop work on account
of conditions in his studies. These he
has made up, and yesterday received per-
mission to re-enter the rowing squad.
His addition to candidates strengthens
the crews chances in the coming race,
as Jackson, although slight in build, pulls
a powerful oar. Jackson is, of course,
handicapped by losing the three weeks
have had, but Coach Ten Eyck thinks
he can round into shape for the race.
His past work and experience assure
him permanent seat In the boat.
The crew was given stiff work by Ten
Eyck yesterday. Hagberg, who has been
rowing steadily, was replaced by jack
son at No. 3, and the crew was started
over the course against the wind Ten
Eyck ordered a fast pull and held the
watch on the youngsters. The rough
water bothered a Few of the new men at
the start, but they quickly overcame the
difficulty and did clean work on the re-
coVery. After the row, Hagberg, Whea-
ton and the coach replaced Johnson, Car
roll and Jackson for another brush and
sprints. The time made in the trial the
coach kept to himself, but appeared salts
fed with the work.
After the days work, the coach laid
down a number Of rules for the guidance
of the boys in their training. The prin-
cipal rue was in the matter of dieting,
and a number of edibles dear to the boys

list, The crew will row this morning
and again this afternoon, and before the
end Of the week a selection will be
made for the crew to be sent against

hall at Mortified with seating capa-
city of $500, probably the largest han
outside of Boston.
The Chicago school is only for stud
ents of music and the Bible, and num-
bers many college graduates and theo-
logians among its students
But it requires about 500, 900 year to
maintain the three schools, all of which
is supplied by subscriptions. Many
large requests and donations have been
made for the schools, notably among
which is one of $4,000 by Miss Helen
Gould.
Speaking of his work during the past
six months that he has been away from
Massachusetts, Mr. Moody said that he
had passed the time in Colorado, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, California and Ct2h.
He has been principally engaged IN
evangelistic work, and occasionally mas
held meetings in the interest of his pris-
on work. He has visited prisons in all
the states and at Canyon City Col,
last Thanksgiving, had a pleasant ex-
perience. While eating his breakfast ne
received a message from Gov. Adams
asking him if he would deliver the en-
closed pardon.
Mr.. Moody went to the state prison
for his advertised sermon, and did not
let his congregation know OF his mes
sage from the governor until he had
finished. There were more than 400
men and u women in the audience. and
when the sermon was finished he spoke
of the pardon and then called the wo-
mans name for whom it was intended.
She was serving a ten years sentence,
and had been a prisoner but two years,
and the pardon was wholly unexpected
to her. She fell at the wardens feet,
thanking him.

Mr.. Moody said that he has made none

he will be engaged at the Mortified
conferences and bible lectures at North

Crazy Schuster" Slashes
Andy Baer on the Back

everybody here, was severely wounded
tonight in what is supposed to have
been a street fight. The trouble oc-
Cured in front of Chris. Maehuert's sa-
loon, on Branch street. between 7 and
s o'clock.
Baer and his assailant had been
drinking. The assailant is known to
the general public as Crazy Schuster.
His real name is John Burger. The
men engaged in an alteration. The
supposed Burger drew some sharp
weapon and slashed Baer across the
back of the neck, making a cash five
inches long and exposing the spinal
column
Then he quietly walked away. No
one attempted to stop him. Baer was
assisted to his home, Wittig court
The police were notified. Chief Oren

about the house, and were threatening
to deal roughly with Baer's assailant,
should he be found.
DIR. Philip P. O'Brien was called and
dressed Baer's injury. He took II
stitches in the wound, which was from
Y to q of an inch deep. He cannot
tell how serious the wound will prove
because Baer is so excited by stimu-
lants.
John Burger, the assailant, is a
shoemaker by trade, but has recently
been employed in the Lancaster mills.
He is about 30 years old, and is regard
ed as a dangerous man, under liquor
He has been living in Schaffners
boarding house, on Mechanic street
The entire police force is looking for
him. The Worcester police have been
asked to keep an eye out for such a
man, as he is supposed to have come to
Worcester on a trolley car.
Baer's wound is serious, but not ne
cessarily fatal.
