A big polo crowd was present at

the Blues once more infict a defeat on
Cotter's men from the Capitol city.
Captain Caravan and his men opened
the game with a rush and before Hart

the ball resting quietly behind Cash
man. In less than two minutes Whip
pie, with the aid of Bone, landed the
leather in Hartford's cage, Bone Sc
cured the next goal The first period
ended with the Blues leading by five
goals to nothing. There were several
features, among them the playing of
Caravan, Hobe Whiting, Wodtke, Ev-
eritt, eastman and Mooney.
The second period was evenly match

perceiviug the game was lost, retired in
favor of Red" Smith. In the last pc
Rod each side scored three goals. To-
wards the end of this period Mooney
was injured and was unable to play.
The Hartfords finished the game with
only four men.

of Captain Canavan, who has got his
men into such condition that they will
make a bold bid for the pennant. Man
ager Aufort secured this player from
Providence when all others had failed
and the patrons of the game showed
their appreciation of his efforts after

were sealed and DR.. Baker ordered

notes. written on Hotel Brunswick

Brodeur was possessed of pleasant
manner, and was a fayorite with the
people about the hotel. He came to The
Brunswick. Dec. Z. and did not engage
board but called for a room and
stopped at the hotel every evening. 1t
is known that he tried hard to secure
employment, but was unsuccessful,
and, while he never said much to the
hotel employees, it was plainly evident
that h. was discouraged.
He registered at the hotel, but did
not say anything about his home, and
did not place his home city on the reg
lister. In a conversation with one of the
men about the hotel, it was learned
that he at one time worked in Holyoke.
No one about the hotel heard the re-
port of the pistol, and it is supposed
that it was muffled by the bed clothes
and the closed door,.
The body was removed to the under
taking rooms OF Sessions & Sons, where
it awaits the. arrival of relatives OF
friends. It is thought that either of the
men to whom letters were sent will
make arrangements for burial today

ITALIAN LABORERS ON
THE WARPATH In AUBURN

covered that the names of the Italian
strikers were unknown to the Auburn
constable. He got out six warrants
however. and they were sworn out
against Nos. As, 5, 80, 6, Is and z, as
the Italians are best known to their
employer. They are all charged with
disturbing the peace.
No. is is also charged with swinging
a sledge hammer over the heads of
some of the men on the work. He
was also seen taking away tools belong
ing to his employers. 1t is somewhat
against the law to give out warrants
unless the names of the parties to be
arrested are known, but all members
of the party say they can identify the
men when they are arrested.
Some doubt is expressed in local po-
lice circles as to Mr.. Wards ability
to arrest the men, but he says that
he can bring them in all right, and will
organize a posse of citizens in the
town to arrest them. Mr.. Davidson,
who is timekeeper on the job, was a
prominent mover in the business, and
for time it was supposed that he was
the employer. The firm of j. T. Tank
& Co. of Providence, who employ the
men. think it is not being used right.
The men who have struck on the other
hand, say that they have not been paid
a weeks pay was due Saturday even
ing, and they did not get it, which is
against the law. They lay the trou-
BILE entirely tc the contractors, and say
if they were paid as they should be,
there would have been no trouble. The
men are employed near Dunn's cross
ing, in the town, making new road,
and also building a bridge.

sent. They will be paid extra for the

NOT OPPOSED TO PETITION
Richard H. Mooney Favors Plans
of the Track For Wire Trust

Richard H. Mooney, president of the
Quinsigamond Village Improvement So
ciety does not wish it understood that
he is opposed to the granting of the
petition of the American Steel & Wire
Co., for permission to extend its pri-
yate freight railroad across Millbury
street. The board of aldermen .is to
give a hearing upon this petition at
city hall Tuesday evening. The publ
cation of news item to the effect that
the improvement society was hostile to
this petition brought out a protest yes
terday from Mr.. Mooney
He informed The Spy reporter that
since the item appeared he has been
approached by number of people who
We're laboring under the deluSion that
he had inspired it. He said that per-
| sonally he did not oppose the petition,
| nor did the improvement society as a
| body. There might be individual op-
position. For his own part he would
| gladly sec the tracks extended the en-
| tire distance on .Millbury street. from
! Ballard to Taylor street. Mr.. Mooney,
| it may be remarked, did not mean
Taylor street up toward Vernon
| square, but the short street in Quin-
| sigamond that, owing to a strange
| namesake.
| In connection with this petition Mr..
| Mooney believes that this would be an
| appropriate time to consider the aboli-
ton of the grade crossings in Quinsig-
amond Under the present plan for do
ing away with the crossings, Quinsig-
amond is entirely ignored.
A bridge could be constructed from
Taylor to Maxwell street, spanning the
railroad, crossing and the Blackstone
river. The men at the head of the
steel works, he believes, are careful.
| thoughtful men, with the interests of
Quinsigamond at heart as much as
residents of the village.
The construction of this bridge, he
| said, would make a new highway. 1t
was proposed in the plans submitted by
! Charles A. Allen. 1t was not right
that Quinsigamond should be eliminat-
ed in the plans now before the people.
In the meantime the granting of the
petition of the steel works, he does
not think, would add to the danger of
the crossing. Careful men are on
guard and their vigilance is never
| ceasing.

DENIED ENLISTMENT
Capt. Gresham Would Not Ac-
cept O'Gara as a Recruit

Capt. JohnsC. Gresham was in Wor-
cester yesterday at the local regular
army recruiting office in the Walker
building, mastering in men for the ser
vice, and in response to a question by
a reporter, Capt Gresham stated that
the death of Gen. Lawton would be a
severe loss to the United States army.
HE was brave man." said the cap
tain, "snd l know personally of valiant
| deeds performed by Lawton that have
never been given to the public" Capt.
Gresham is an old Indian fighter him
self, and was with Lawton's division
in the western campaign against old
Geronimo.
Charles w. Tucker, a veteran of the
Americans Spanish war in Cuba was
taken = Providence yesterday by Capt.
Gresham, where he will be mustered
into the service. Tucker belongs in
New Haven and has been in the reg
ular Amy for six years. and also
served one year in the volunteers. He
was at the charge of San Juan. He is
&c years old, which is above the age
limit, but, in consideration of his pre-
vious record, he will be mustered in
as soon as permission can be received
from Washington.
Walter H. O'Gara and wife were at
the office yesterday morning. Mr.
O'Gara wanted to enlist and his wife
was willing, but Capt. Gresham re-
fused to consider him, and he was
obliged to give up his hopes of going
to the Philippines. Alphonse Blair, who
enlisted a short time ago for the hos
pital corps, has changed his mind, and
yesterday was mustered in for cavalry
service in the Philippines. No news
has yet been received from Capt E.
P. Pendleton, who had been chosen as
Capt Gresham's successor in the re-
Acruiting service A transport from the
philippines arrived in New York yes

Ten Members Of Next Years
School Board Hold a Caucus
at Y. M. C. A. Building
OPPOSITION TO THE
OFFICERS OF THE BOARD
George |. Alden and Charles R.
Johnson for Executive Offices
and Joseph BeaIS For Clerk

Ten republican members of the
school committee for 1900 are opposed
to the present officers of the board and
will present a brand new slate when
the annual election takes place in Janu-
airy.
Those present at the caucus were
Amanda c. Bray, M. D., M. Bonner
Finn, M. D., DR.. Clifton F. Hodge,
Charles r. johnson, Herbert M. Will
son, Frank R. Hayden, George H.
White, George 1. Alden, Andrew Elk
strom, Major E. T. Raymond.
The members held a caucus in the
boys parlor of the Y. NJ G. A. last
night and nominated George 1. Alden
for chairman; Charles r.. Johnson for
ice-chairman, and
\ JOSEPH BEALs FOR CLERK.
The nominations were unanimous.
The naming of Messrs. Alden and
Johnson for the respective offices has
been anticipated but the nomination
for clerk comes in the way of a sur
prise.
Charles F. Pierce the present incum-
bent, has held the office of clerk a
number of years and in the minds of
those who attended the caucus could
be replaced to advantage. Prof. Beals
who is named as his successor, has
held a position as instructor at the
Worcester Tech for number of
years, and in the minds of the ten
committeeman, would make good
man for the position.
The friends of George F. Brooks and
DR.. John T. Duggan who have served
as chairman and vice-chairman
during the year past, and are under
stood to be candidates for reelection,

RESPONDENT BECAUSE
he COULD GET NO WORK
Peter Brode Tried Hard to Find Employment But Was UnsuC
cessu and to End His Misery Committed Suicide at Hotel
BrunsWick-A Bullet in the Hea-Letters Left Addressed to
Friends-Residence of Suicide Unknown

Peter Brodeur, a man about Sc years
old, was found dead in a bed at the
Brunswick hotel, yesterday afternoon,
about 1890 o'clock. A bullet wound in
the breast just over the heart satisfied
the police that he had committed sui
eide, and Medical Examiner F. H. Ba-
ker, who viewed the remains short
time after, decided that death was the
result of suicide.
The last time Brodeur was seen alive
was Wednesday afternoon, when Mary
Barron, a chambermaid at the hotel,
went to his room and raped on his
door. He opened it and told her that
she need not bother with the room.
Yesterday noon she again went to the
room, snd, knocking on the door, re-
ceived 70 answer. She notified the clerk
at the house, and he went to the room
and tried to force the door. Being I'M
able to do this he went into the next
room and got through a side door.
Brodeur was lying on the bed with
q bullet wound in his heart and mass
of blood discolored the bed coverings
all about him. A 92-calibre revolver lay
at his side and apparently he had been
dead for some time.
Medical Examiner F. H. Baker was
summoned and a further examination
of the room revealed several letters.
One of them was addressed Raphael

THIRD ANNIVERSARY
FITTINGLY OBSERVED
Division 81 Reviews Its Prosper
GUS Existence in the Ancient
Order of HibernianS

The third anniversary of Division "a,
A. O. H., was celebrated last night at
A O. H hall, 9S Front street. 1t was
one of the most largely attended
meetings in the history of the organ
ization.
Twenty new members were admitted
and &c applications received. These are
to be acted upon at the first meeting
of the division after the new year.
The division has at present $50 mem
bers, and it is maintained by the Off
GERS that although one of the young
err divisions, it is the banner one of
Worcester county.
At the business meeting it was vot-
ed to turn out on st. Patrick's day
and the officers were empowered to act
as delegates to the convention of the
Hibernian divisions in January at
which matters pertaining to the cele-
bration of the anniversary of Ireland s
patron saint will be considered.
The division, it was reported, has
Joined the Hibernian building fun6
and has turned in $780, All bills have
been paid and the division will start
out with the new year financially sol
i'd. The sum of $500 was added to the
right side or the ledger the past year
and the members are looking forward
to even better things next year.
Following the business meeting, there
was a social session at which there
were speeches and songs. Francis P.
McKeon, former president of the diyis-
ion, made the opening address. Tho
mas p Conneff, who was with the reg
ulars in the Santiago campaign, gave
very interesting talk. His Audience
was especially interested in what he
had to say of Gen. Lawton under
whom Mr.. Connect fought. Gen. Law
ton, he said, was the idol of the sol
diers. He never held back when the
index finger of duty pointed onward,
and his heroic example never failed to
inspire the men in his command.
Edward ]. Mcmahon made rousine
speech that brought out tremendous
applause. What Mr.. Mcmahon had to
say about the Anglo-Boer war was
particularly to the point.
Capt. John j. Rogers, county presi-
dent of the A. o. H, told of the or
ganization of the new divisions and
the success that had attended them.
The present membership of the Hi
bernians in Worcester, he said, was a
subject for congratulation.
During the evening refreshments
were served Samuel McClosky cater
