The police made inquiries in the
neighborhood especially of the fore
man on the new Gardner, Westminster
| and Fitohburg road, and found out
| from him that Sunday evening two ST.

Fwork. One said he was employed on the
overhead bridge being built in this
! city The smaller man of the two
showed q brass check.
The taller man said he came to see

seen him before in Worcester. Thurs

fact, Lepardo was in Worcester Thurs
day, but did not hire the two men NEIL

body of the dead man as the smaller
man of the two that came to see MIN
about work last night
From another source, it was found
that two men were seen going toward
Westminster by one Henry Jenkins
about in the evening Sunday, and at
the time they were engaged in a dis
pute over which road to take. He also
identified the body as one of the men
that passed his house. He states that
the companion was taller, and wore
blue suit. Albert H. Flagg saw two
men going toward the place where the
body was found about dark Sunday.
There is no doubt but what murder
was committed, and now the police
have the murdered mans companion to

upon TO say how his friend came to De

body.
The man, as near as can be made
out after careful inquiries, came from
Boston about two months ago, and has
been working the past few days on
the bridge over the Water street cross

after working two hours. He gave his
name as Lorenzo
The police have been hot on the trail

LEVEL AS a BILLIARp TABLE.

The road bed and tracks OF the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railway are
the best laid In America. They are so
smooth and level that there is absolutely
no Jar or Jolt, 80 disasTceable on most
railroads. Not only does this make travel
more pleasant and easy, but 1t enables
passengers to read without injuring their
eyesight. Passengers travelling from Bos-
points to PtttsburR, Cleveland, Toledo,
Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and other
western cities should make 1t a point to
travel on the Lake Shore railway

could be run, there would have to be
satisfactory agreement as to price
for the same before the railroad COM
missioners would give a definite
answer.
Mr.. Flint asked why the Worcester
road didn't want to run to Perryville
and North Webster, too,' as well as to
the lake. He said they might as well.
He also stated that he did not think
it was right and reasonable for the
Worcester road to come down here and
gobble all the local passengers and
carry them to the lake. He said that
the Worcester road had offered him
nine cents car mile, and that it would
cost the Webster road eight cents car
mile to carry it along, and consequent
ly the local road would only realize a
cent a car mile. Mr.. Flint wants four
cents per passenger.
Mr.. Hill spoke again and explained
the situation more clearly Mr.. Hag-
gerty did not object or agree to the
proposition; he simply asked a few
questions that Mr.. Hill answered. The
selectmen took the matter into con
sideration.

fluffy Paranto, aged 70 years, a res
ident of Woonsocket, r. l., who has
been spending a few days with his
brother Peter Paranto, ST., on High
street, returned home this morning
The visit was very peculiar in one
sense of the word, for the brothers have
not seen each other for the long period
Of As years 1t was a happy reunion
on all sides. A half century ago the
Parantos lived in Canada on a well
equipped and extensive farm Just As
years ago the brother who resides on
High street, with his family, left his
native soil and came here. From that
day until last Saturday he did not see
his brother. The elder brother lived
in Canada until eight years ago, when
he moved to Woonsocket where he has
since resided Mr. Paranto invited in
several of his friends, and good time
was enjoyed.
If the Worcesters can't play Sunday
ball, the Webster base ball team can. 1t
is new departure for them. Next
Sunday they go to Manville, r. L.,
where they play the team Of that town.
The Webster team goes on its own
hook, and Manager Conway, of whom
Webster people are saying naughty
things, will have nothing to do with
the game. The Websters Will get q
guarantee and also a portion of the
gate receipts Probably Carney will do
the twirling, but otherwise the team
will be its regular lineup.
Tommy r. Sanders and Frank j.
Shea go to Lyndonville, VT, next
Thursday where they play for the
team there. Next Saturday Webster
plays in Southbridge the seventh game
Of the series. The Webster team had a
good chance at the beginning of the
season to secure Hickey of Manchester,
whom Manager Selee of the Bostons
has just signed. Hickey would have
come here and wanted to, but the
management would not pay him his
figures.

WILL THE TREATY BE RATIFIEDs

Much discussion has been going on in
Congress through the press and among
the people all over the country as to the
ratification OF the treaty, the status OF
the Philippines being the bone of con-
tention. Through the columns OF the
News Democrat we have tried to Keep
our readers advised as to the outlook
and the different phases of the question.
When Congress declared war against
Spain, Cuba was the only point con-
siderei. There was no thought Of the
Philippines at all. Dewey's victory first
brought these into view, and the grab
notion'grew on what it fed. Toe tre,ty
seems to have been framed with a view
of holding the Philippines absolutely,
the wording as to Cuba being quite
different. Toe following from the New
York Tribune doubtless gives the posi-.
ton of the administration, and the same
is indicated by the speeches in Congress
from members on that side. Here is
the extract from the Tribune:
"Ws went to war with Spain over
Cuba and not over the Philippines, aud
we're forced into the latter through the
unforeseen exigences Of that war. We
we're pledged In advance rot torcibly TO
annex Cuba, but TO assist the island to
establish, If poss BILE, a salts 'actory
| government Of It's own; but not the
ghost of any such pledge was made or
Implied, or could properly have been.
la the case of the Philippines. 1t was
perfectly evident from the outset that
whether spain merely relinquished Cuba
or ceded it TO us no other power would
dream Of intervening or meddiing there,
and it was equally evident that several
| powers we're eager to intervene in the
Philippines on the first pretext that was
offered, and If Spain merely relinquish-
ed them, as she did Cuba, they would
rush in and cause all Sorts Of interna'
tional complications and perhaps wars
TO avoid which catastrophe there Wat
only one way, namely Tor the United
States to take full possession of the
islands by virtue Of complete cession by
Spain.'
The Tribune speaks by authority and
shows that our government was after
the islands. The pretext that there wa
danger of foreign interference is no
sound. Eugland has bsen potential IL
saving us from foreign complication
and desires that we gain some interes
in Asiatc waters and put ourselves in |
position to cultivate an alliance.
Next Monday in the afternoon TIN
treaty will be voted on in the senat
with the chances favorable for its ratiti
cation. In such case the question o
Philippine Independence will be an un
settled matter and subject 10 action o
Congress. Rstifying the treaty will no
likely settle the Philippine mix.
