with her mother and the son is in the
west, and as far as Mrs. Brown knows,
is still alive.
Mrs. Brown is in good health, in spite
of her extreme age, though she has
been slightly afflicted with rheumatism
for some time. Her sight and hearing
are remarkably preserved, ana she
talks pleasantly about old times. She
remembers well the war Of 1872 though
but six years old at the time, and tells
interesting stories of what she has
heard of the revolution. Her dainty
front room is full of potted plants,
which she tends herself. She is all
ways busy at something; though her
lameness will not permit of any active
work, she helps about the house in her
own way and spends her leisure at
knitting and talking with her friends,
of whom she has many.
Yesterday she seceived numerous
visits from neighbors, who came to
congratulate her on her health. She
thinks she is getting rather old for
anniversaries, but when The Spy man
started to leave she cordially invited
him to come next year at her oath an
| niversary.

Memorial to Mark
Resting Place Of
Andrew Athy.
FITTING TRIBUTE,
Handsome Monument in
Memory Of the Sturdy
Irishman.

In a few days the resting place of
Andrew Athy will be marked with a
memorial which will be fitting trih-
ute to the character Of the man who
enjoyed a reputation for honesty and
integrity that might wen be the envy
of any one.
The memorial is characteristic of the
man. An honorable American citizen,
he never forgot the land that save
him birth, and the rugged Celtic cross
which will mark his grave in st. Johns
cemetery, flttingly recalls to mind the
sturdy Irishman who occupied a po-
sition of honor among his people in
Worcester for many years.
The memorial consists of a Cattle
cross mounted on a large pedest al
which will bear a medallion of Mr..
Athy. The monument is the work Of
Timothy J. McAuliffe, as is also the
medallion.
Mr. McAuliffe made the design AMI
models and supervised the work. 1t
was cut in the yard of Loughlin and
Crowley. The cross is a single piece of
Troy granite from the quarry of Nor
cross Brothers. The entire monuma Mt
weighs 10 tons The cross itself
weighs three tons, the pedestal six and
the base six.
The memorial will be placed in the
rear of the family lot in ST. Johns
cemetery, and will be in position in a
few days. The bronze medallion is now
being cast in a New York foundry.
The base is six feet two inches square
and one and one half feet high. The
pedestal is four feet six inches sq"are
and four feet high. The height of the
cross itself is 10 feet six inches, max
ing the total height of the memorial
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-05-20

Is feet six inches. The pedestal tapers
toward the top. On the lower portion
of the die the name, Andrew AtEy'
is carved in raised letters.
Directly over the centre Of the die
is a bronze medallion in neZzo-rel,evo.
It is an exact likeness of Mr.. Athy
and well modelled. The treatment is
strong and characteristic net tame or
over worked, as is frequently seer in
the stereotyped medallion. The ex-
quisite manner in which the sculptor
brings out the flesh texture, shows
with what painstaking care Mr.. Nc
Auliffe performed his work, and is an
excellent tribute to his genius On
the extreme border of the medallion
is a beaded ornament which lends to
1t an antique effect. Inside the border
is the name in raised letters, as is also
the year of his death, in Roman nu-
merals. The entire combination on the
face of the die is on the whole pleasing
and well arranged. On the left side Of
the die is an inscription giving the
date of the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Athy,
and on the rear is a Gaelic inscription.
On the die rests the Celtic cross, the
main feature of the memorial. The
design and proportions of the cross
have been partially taken from the
cross of Monastribois and Clonmaenois,
except some Of the details in the mono
gram. The entire detail of ornament
is purely Celtic, a very interesting
style It has a strong individuality
in itself, very similar to Byzantine, but
more complicated and interesting. The
whole carving is treated in a Runic
manner. not chiselled closely or
smoothed, but left as if growing out of
the stone, as if the carver wished to
express an idea, and when it was ac-
complished stopped. The cross in it
self is poetry in stone.
The face and sides of the cross are
divided into panels. The lower panel
at the base has a small spray of sham
rock, surrounded with interlaced orna-
ments. The next panel has the alpha
and omega, the beginning and end. This
is surrounded with ornaments. Direct
ly over this is another panel with the
Greek monogram of Christ's name. In
the centre Of the circle is the monogram
Il. H. s." Directly over this, on the
perpendicular portion of the cross, is
carved a descending dove, symbolical
Of the paraclete or holy spirit The
horizontal arms are also carved. The
circle which intersects the arms de-
notes eternity-"No beginning or no
end" Each side of the cross is also

MAY NOT Be TRIED.
No Further Action in
Calvin and Hiney
Cases Likely.
LEICESTER HORROR.
1t Has Been Decided to
Nolle Prose- the In
dictments.

The cases of Michael G. Calvin and
Thomas e. Hiney, conductor and mo-
torman, respectively, ON the Inflated
Leicester car. which figured in the
Leicester horror of December 10, when
two persons were killed, and several
will probably be placed on file, and no
further action taken in the matter.
The district attorneys office and the
government have been in consultation
in regard to the matter, and this de-
cision has been practically adopted by
them.
Michael c. Calvin and Thomas e.
Hiney were indicted at the January
term Of the grand jury, and owing to
the conditions that prevailed at that
time, the trial of the cases was post
poned to the present term. Both Gal
win and Hiney were called to plead at
the previous term, and on their pleas
of mot guilty" the cases were form
ally continued, and now five months
after the horrible fatality the indict-
ments will be nolle pressed.
The details of the collision at st.
Joseph's crossing, on the Leicester
hill, are too familiar to the minds of
the public to need repetition at this
time. Thomas Kerrigan survived but
a few minutes, and Walter H. Hol-
brook, reporter, died q few hours af-
terward at the city hospital.
AS a result of the accidents, suits for
between $50, 900 and $4,000 have been
brought against the Worcester and
Suburban Street Railway Company.
Sullivan & O'Connell appear as coun-
sci for the defendants; Gen. lockwood
Hoar for the government.

carved, each ornament having a signifi-
canoe in itself.
The die or pedestal of the cross is
much larger than that used in the old
Celtic cross. The designers purpose
in making this change is to make 1t
stronger and more durable, as the cross
is tenoned into the die, and the Sc
we're frosts in winter might weaken the
pedestal. 1t also gives more space for
lettering and the bronze medallion,
which is a strong feature of the memo
rial.
The memorial is truly Christian one,
having its origin in the medieval ages,
and was first designed by Irish monks,
It is also found in Scotland, Wales and
the Isle of Man, but the first examples
exist in Ireland. The English runic
cross differs very much from the Irish
cross, it being more insipid and large
portion of the ornament is meaning
less

AMHERST GLEE CLUB.
Excellent Performance Given Last Night
at Association Hail.

The Amherst College Glee, Banjo
and Mandolin Clubs gave one of the
most finished and artistic musical pro-
grams ever attempted by a college club
in Worcester, at Association hall, Y
NJ. c. A. building, last night. The au-
dience was not as large as the rare
quality of the entertainment merited
bu. was not lacking in appreciation
and encores were numerous. The pro-
gram was not lacking in the rollicking
songs of college students, and in direct
contrast TO these We're several numbers
of marked artistic merit. The baritone
sOlGs by Z. p. Young savored of the
work Of a professional, and were ap-
preciated. The banjo and mandolin
selections were of marked artistic
merit.
The concert called out few of the coll
lage men who were in Worcester for
today's games, and there was lacking
the cheering and counter cheering that
i'll other years has marked a college
concert on the eve Of the contest at the
oval. Many of the visiting collegians
were present, however, and displayed
appreciation Of the excellent program.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Lakeside Boat
Club, and the proceeds will be used in
purchasing a racing four-blade canoe

celery compound in the Nazarene Home

pleasure that can say that our aged

by its use. I have been using it my
self, as has also my niece, and there
has been a marked improvement in our
health I was very much run down
after the winters hard work, but am
feeling very much better. have rec
