away, pursued by the officer. Officer
Goodwin fired one shot in the air in
the hope of frightening the prisoner,
and then fired second shot,
aiming at Lynch. The bull
let went wild and struck Harvey, who
was on the seat of passing wood
team, piercing his haart and causing
death within d few minutes.
Goodwin passed the night in a room
in the matrons department at the
Waldo street station house, an officer
being detailed to keep him company
and look after his wants. The officer
is badly broken up over the affair.
The thought that he should have killed
an innocent man. has completely un-
nerved him.
Patrick Lynch, who caused the trou-
BILE, escaped, and at this writing is still
at large.
The circumstances leading up to the
shooting are these. About / o'clock
yesterday afternoon, it was reported at
station 2, that drunken man was
creating disturbance and intimidat-
ing the occupants OF the house, so Laf-
ayette street.
officers Goodwin and Hanson were
sent out to investigate the matter, but
when they arrived on the scene, quiet
had been restored and the belligerents
had disappeared Several broken win
dows and the story of inmates of the
house proved that disturbance had
taken place.
The officers reported the state Of af
fairs to Sergt. Warren, who was in
charge at the station nouse, and went
back to their beats. A little later in
the afternoon, officer Goodwin was told
that Lynch had been seen to enter one
of the fragments shanties on the rail-
road. He made a tour Of the railroad
mems quarters in the vicinity, but was
unable to find his man.
About o'clock he went back to the
house where the trouble took place, and
inquired of Miss Maggie Brosnihan,
who conducts a boarding house at No.
so, IL Lynch had returned. She replied
that he had not, but while the officer
was at the house, Lynch came in.
Miss Brosnihan said Lynch had been
drinking hard of late and she was
afraid Of him while he was in that Gon-
dition. For that reason, she had asked
him to leave her house, the cay be-
fore.
She repeated her request in the pres
ence of the officer. and Officer Goodwin
seconded her request by telling Lynch
he had better pick up his things and get
ready to move. During the process
Of getting his belongings together.
Lynch became abusive, and made the
statement a number Of times that he
could lick any man in the house." and
dared the officer to arrest him.
officer Goodwin told him that no one
wanted to arrest him, IL he behaved
himself. but II he did not he should
be Obliged to do so. Lynch continued
his abuse. and finally struck at the
officer A scufiie ensued, during which
Lynch struck the officer several times
and kicked 1lm. Benjamin Brosnihan,
an occupant IF the house, appeared on
the scene at this time, and In the effort
to help the officer, pushed both men
out of the narrow hallway In which
they were struggling, on to the piazza,

THE CANTEEN.
It's Adjustment by House
Not Agreed To.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate committee on mil
itary affairs having in hand the bill
for reorganization of the army today
placed its labors in the hands of the
full committee.
A large number of important amend
ments were made, the most significant
being the striking out of the House pro-
vision abolishing the canteen and sub
shutting the following for it: "That
In the canteens established under reg
ulatlonS OF the army no liquors shall
pc sold, except malt liquors and non
Intoxicating beverages and this shall
apply to all encampments and forts
ana all premises used for military
purposes, by the United States"
Another amendment provides that in
time of war retired officers of the army
may, IN the discretion Of the secretary
OF war, be employed on active duty,
other than in the command of troops,
and that when so employed they shall
receive the full pay and allowances of
their grades. The corps Of cadets at
West Point is increased to one from
each congressional district, one from
each territory, one from each district
- wv AAOAll SdCll SlctLe dIlQ
20 from the United States at large.
A proviso is added to the paragraph
regarding the enlistment of infantry
men, which limits the age for original
enllstments in the army to between 1S
and IS years. A change in the regula-
ton for appointment of second lieuten-
ants to fill vacancies provides for APP
pointment by two methods only, one
being from among graduates of the
West Point Academy and the other
from enlisted men and from civil life,
as now provided by law"
The House provision for appointment
OF graduates of private military schools
is eliminated. Vacancies below the
rank of lieutenant colonel caused by
the provision in regard to the adjutant
generals and inspector generals offices
are to be filled by the appointment of
captains from the line The number of
surgeons who are to have the rank of
colonel Is increased to 10, and those
with the rank Of lieutenant colonel to
TO- All persons appointed to be assist
ant surgeons are to be required to pass
"a satisfactory moral, mental and
physical examination" The organiza-
ton of natives for service in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the islands of the Pa
cific is placed entirely at the discre-
ton of the president. The full COM
mittee received the army bill at spe-
cial meeting held at 230 o'clock, but
without taking action adjourned until
Monday.

MONEY BY FRAUD.
Charges Preferred Against Three Persons
Arrested in New York CITY.

New York, Feb. 10.-United States
ed man and two women who, it is
said by the post office inspectors, are
concerned in an extensive scheme for
obtaining money from the readers of
alluring advertisements. The arrests
We're made on bench warrants issued
by Judge Webb of the United States
circuit court Of Maine, on indictments
found by the federal grand jury for the
division of Maine. The persons ar
rested are William E. Skinner, man
aSer of the Sawyer Publishing Com
Many at Waterville, Me-, who has an
office in this city; Mrs. Viola H. Rae,
the proprietor of the Helen Marke Com
pany, a su2erfiuous hair-removing con-
Germ. also with an office in this city;
and Mrs. A. H, Wing, the mother of
Mrs. Rae. They were taken before
Commissioner Shields, and were held
in $4,000 bail each, for hearing to-
morrow morning. Mrs. Wing furnished
a bond. but the others were unable to
do so. and were locked up in Ludlow
street jail.
The indictments found by the Maine
grand jury charge the defendants with
violating sections $40 and $3.50 of the
united states revised statutes, det1n-
ing conspiracy and schemes to defraud.
1t is charged they organized the Fair
field Floral Company of Fairfield, Me-,
with an alleged capital of 100000, ad-
vertising extensively to give a $25
course Of instruction absolutely free of
charge, on sending two two-cent
stamps. Those who answered this ad-
vertisement found that they were
required to send 80 cents additional and
to purchase a beginners outfit" for
$2.10, and finally, that they were re-
CURED to purchase so dozen artificial
Bengal rose buds for the sum of $11O.
All this money, it was explained in
the circular, would be returned to the
employers when he had finished his
work of opening the buds and had re-
turned them to the company, together
with $25 for the work done. One of
the witnesses who appeared before the
Maine grand jury, testified that 265, 900
replies had been received by the man
ager, and that the great majority of
those who had replied We're satisfied to
lose the original money deposited by
them with the company rather than
risk the large sum eventually demand

Once.
ELEVATED TRACKS
To be Combated by Strong.
est Interest of the City.

I'VE, the undersigned citizens of
Worcester, hereby demonstrate
against any changes of the rail-
road street crossings in this city
that shall cause the railroads to be
located above the Streets
The tocsin of war has been sounded
on the grade crossing question, and
The Spy is able to announce that to-
day or Monday 500 petitions will be in
circulation in this city for the sigma
lures of the citizens who are unalter-
ably opposed to the elevation of the
railroad tracks.
The onset is on, and the steering
committee which has charge of the pc
tition of remonstrance which is to be
presented to our own governing court,
is confident that public sentiment
against the elevated system has been
so fully aroused that signers will be
awaiting the petition on every hand
The steering committee itself COM
prises some of the most able and in
fuential professional men in the city.
Five hundred blank forms have been
struck off by the printer, with the
heading given above, and these will be
put in circulation at once. The steer
ing committee is preparing a list Of all
the central stores and business houses
in the city, where the petitions viii be
placed, and then besides, there will
be corps of canvassers to circulate the
papers among the professional men at
their offices. The newspaper offices,
With the leading newspaper agencies in
the city, will be the first supplied, and
then the other general rendezvous of
the city will be provided for.
Since the hearing before the city
council. at which such significant ut
terances were made, the citizens who
nave opposed the elevated track sys-
TEN from the start, have beer con-
Ierr1ng and planning. The attitude of
X g. Taylor and Monsignor Thomas
Griffin, at time of the report Of the first
commission, has struck deep into the
minds of the thinking citizens and
those who have large property inter
ests, and the remarks then made have
crystallized into the petition which the
spy presents this morning.
W oo III 81 iltlSilueQ luSbI ltllS pSll-
ton should be placed in circulation yes
terday, but owing to the fact that one
or the real estate owners whose name
is wanted to head the list was not to
be found, the formal launching of this
petition craft, which promises to be a
strong factor in the action to be finally
taken in the city. has been deferred.
Further Amusement will be held to-
day. SO that the petitions will be placed
within the reach of the citizens of the
city, either today or Monday, when
the aggressive campaign on the grade
crossing question will be pressed with
great vigor.
R. G. Taylor will be the first signer
of the petition, and then other citizens
with large real estate holdings will fol-
low.
The sweeping nature of the remon-
STRANGE in being against any elevation
of the railroad street crossing above
the streets whatsoever is significant,
and while no plan is presented as an
alternative, the depressed method is
the desideratum.
