Night by the Chief.

The following general orders, No. II,
were posted last night in the guard
room at station by order of James M
brennan, chief Of police:
"On and after June 10, the day relief
will leave the station house at 7.5a
o'clock with the exception of Sunday
morning, then at S.25 o'clock a. IN. The
first relief will answer roll call at II Al
o'clock a. m. After dinner this relief
will answer roll call to go on tEelr
beats at 1856 o'clock p, m.
1.-THE second relief will answer roll
call at LOS o'clock p. m. After dinner
this relief will answer roll call to go

1.-THE first relief for the night duty
will answer roll call at 5.55 o'clock p
m.
THE day relief will answer roll call
at sos o'clock p. m. The lieutenant al
station and the sergeant at station

mated.

him or is delinquent in relieving him.
the patrolman going off duty Will re-
port the same to the officer in charge
Of his station when he reports for ron
call. The object of these changes a"'
to prevent patrolmen from leaving
their beats until such time as they can
get to the station house to answer roll
call at the time designated above. The
officer in charge of station house VIII
be held responsible for the enforcement
of this order"
Practically the only change embodied
in the new order is in obliging patrol
men whose beats are within an eighth
of a mile of the station house TO re-
main on their posts until relieved by
the officer coming on duty. 1t is said
that this change was made in order to
keep patrolmen from arriving at the
corners of Waldo street about 0.4a
o'clock and peeking around the cornor
until 5.55 o'clock, when they go in to
reDort for roll call.

CHURcH's AFFIDAVIT.
Denies District Attorneys Charges in the
MoIneux Case.

New York, June 19.-Col. Church.
foreman of the grand jury that failed
to indict Molineux, handed down an
affidavit today, in answer to charges
preferred by District Attorney Osborn
a few days ago Mr.. Osborn, in his
charges, said that the grand jury asked
questions of witnesses which tended ia
exonerate the accused instead OF con-
victing the guilty person. The sub
stance of Col. Church's answer is a
complete denial of ! Mr.. Osborn S
charges.
Col. Church says that neither he Tor
any other member of the gram jury
had any feeling or bias in the trial,
and that his acquaintance with Gen.
Molineux, the father of the accused
man, was confined entirely to military
matters, Col. Church being editor OF
the Army and Navy Journal. The grand
Jury, he says, gave careful and eX-
haustive consideration to the case, and
not a member was convinced that the

ASTORY OF CANNIDALISM.
The Yukon Trail Gives
Up an Awful
Tale.
A STORY or CANNIBALISM.

Circle. City, Alaska, May 20, via San
Francisco, July IA story of possible
cannibalism and death on the Yukon
trail has just reached here. Three men
who left Dahl river on Dec for Jim
town were not heard of again, and they
were supposed to have been lost. Moth
ing was heard of them here until the
steamer Rideout arrived today.
The men were Michael DAILY, Victor
Ediar and NJ. Provost. They were
from Providence, R. L, Woonsocket, r.
l., and Brockton, Mass, respectively.
Their bodies were discovered II miles
from the mouth of Old Mans creek,
they having lost the trail and become
bewildered.
Having left Dahl river with only
three weeks food (but which was am
ply sufficient for the $50 miles to jim
town., they were soon reduced to starry
alton.
Days body was found partly eaten.
On the stove in the tent some scraps
of moose hide and moccasin were
found, of which they were endeavoring
to make a stew. Days body was iden-
titled by the clothes The other two
men were found dead five miles away
from the tent.
The fact of the tent flaps being shut
down when found seems 10 preclude the
possibility of Days body having been
eaten by animals. The other men
doubtless were driven by hunger to the
awful extremity of cannibalism.

sHEDDEN SEES TOBEY.
Gives the Medical Examiner the First Clue
to the Mystery.

Clinton, June 19.-This afternoon
Chief of Police Oren B. Bates received
letter from John DeForge Of Water
bury, Vt, who says he has reason to
believe the dead woman may be his
wife.
The description that accompanies his
letter is very slender Chief Bates has
telegraphed him that it will be neces-
cary for him to see the skeleton to
make himself sure that he is either
right or wrong in the conclusion that
the dead woman was his wife. La
Forge is expected to arrive here today
or tomorrow. 1t will then be known if
his suspicious are correct.
But today it looks as if the missing
woman was Mrs. Elizabeth Shedden Of
Oakdale. as The Spy stated exclusively
this morning.
Last night a stranger visited the Of
fee Of Medical Examiner Tobey. He
was accompanied by one Of his children,
a little girl. He was a quiet man, and
wore the air of having known sorrow.
He stated his business to the examiner
in few words and looked at the CHASTITY
relics in the examiners possession.
The blue box containing the fire
scorched remnants Of clothing was OPP
ened. He saw the waist with its loud
check, the t9ttered and fragmentary
skirts and all the garments that he
thinks may once have been worn by his
wife
There was nothing among them that
he recognized. This was not strange
/: is a year since she left him and her
children to begin the sorrowful life de-
scribed in The Spy's dispatch from
Oakdale.
But his description Of Elizabeth She'd

MURDER MOST LIKELY.
Her Husband Talks With Reporter of
The Spy and Says He Thinks His Wife
Met With Foul Playa North
Adams Man Writes About
a Missing Woman.

Oakdale, June 19.-If any one had
doubts that William Sheldon of this
village believed that the body of the
woman found in Sterling swamp was
not that of his wife Elizabeth, they
would have dispelled them could the
unbelleving one have listened to the
story Of William Shedden himself to-
night
To a correspondent Of The Spy She'd
den stated that he had no reasonable
doubt that it was the body of his run
away wife.
In addition to the description printed
elsewhere in The Spy, Shedden mem
toned to the reporter two points of
vast Importance.
One of these was the manner in
which Elizabeth Shedden arranged her
hair. She used to braid it, then double
the braid, tie it with a string and then
tie 1t with a ribbon. This was the iden-
tical manner in which the hair on the
head of the woman found in the Ster-
ling swamp was arranged.
Another point and one which may
prove Of great moment in the solution
of the mystery was that of the teeth
found in the jawbone. Shedden said
that he had often noticed in his wife's
mouth the broken tooth on the lower
jaw, which stood UP like tusk, occa-
sioning her some trouble. One of the
teeth on one side of the lower jaw
bone of the skeleton in the Sterling
swamp is a tusk corresponding with
the one which Shedden had noticed
on the lower Jaw of his wife.
There is absolutely no one in Oakdale
body has been found.
The Spy this morning, which was the
only Worcester paper to tell of the dis
appearance of the Shedden woman, was
much sought and eagerly read.
Superintendent Johnson at the Wor-
cester county truant school, as stated
In The Spy this morning, knew the wo-
man perfectly well. He stated to tho
Spy man this evening his unqualified
belief that the body Of the woman found
in Sterling swamp was that Of Eliza
beth Sheldon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Smith Of this
village are absolutely positive that they
saw Mrs. Shedden in company with a
with a man in the town of Eeominster,
on July 4, 1885, going In the direction of
the Clinton cars. This is positively the
last seen of Mrs. Shedden by any one
who knew her, so far as known at the
present time.

MEDALS OF HONOR.
Every Man Who Fought in Manila Harbor
TO Be Remembered.

Washington, June lit is stated at
the navy department that every man
attached to the Olympia, Boston, Bal
timore, Concord. Raleigh, Petrol and
Mccullough during the battle in Manila
'harbor, regardless Of rank or station,
will receive a medal of honor. The
Mccullough, which was revenue cut
ter at the outbreak of the Spanish war,
was transferred to the naval service
and added to Admiral Dewey's fleet.
She rendered efficient service in the
naval battle at Manila and also carried
the first official news Of Admiral
Dewey's victory to Hong Kong. In
view of these facts it was deemed
proper that the officers and men of the
Mccullough should share equally with
the others In the distribution of the
congressional medals, Notwithstanding
the Mccullough has resumed her du-
ties in the revenue cutter service.
Two civilians who were on the Nc
Cullough during the battle and who
rendered active assistance in serving
the guns, also have been included in
the list of those entitled to the medals.

prepared to leave the grounds This
was not altogether an easy matter. The
campus was alive with the fieecy-goWn-
ed college girls and their friends, and
as the presidents carriage paused tq
allow the others to fall in behind, doz-
ems Of the girls crowded about the pres
ident eager to shake hands with him.
1t would have taken a far more churl-
ish person than President Mckinley tc
have refused to accept such homage
and for several minutes the president
was the centre of bright-eyed throng
shaking one hand after another as fast
as he could.
Mrs. Mckinley was the recipient OF
many special greetings, as well as the
president, and if she could have heard
the many complimentary things salo
about her among the groups of col
lege girls who watched her take her
departure, she would have been proud
indeed.
AS the train moved away at 1915 for
Holyoke three hearty cheers were
given by the spectators, and so the
first visit of the only president who has
ever hOnored the charming little col
lege with his presence came to an end
The return trip was made without Incl
dent.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour when the car "Rockrimmon'
reached the Whiting home, some of the
members of the party decided to con-
tinue on to South Hadley in order that
they might witness a portion of the SEN
iors' presentation of "A midsummer
nights Dream" at Forest park, out
among the trees. Those who made
this journey were Abner Mckinley and
wife, George E. Morse and wife, Miss
Helen Mckinley, sister of the presi-
dent; Miss Buckingham of Canton, o.
and Mrs. G. Glidden of Boston.
w. B. Plunkett of Adams, who will be
the presidents host after next Wednes-
day, left the party at the station and
took the train for Adams. Those who
went to South Hadley returned about
730 o'clock and reunion was held at
the Whiting home.

them more credit, owing to the uncer-
tainty Of the mems inclusion in the re-
vised lists.
