Patrick M. IIoran
Has Narrow Escape
at Union Station.
SLID UNDER A MOVING TRAIN.
The Practice Of Showering
Bride With Rice the
Cause.

Patrick M. Koran, laborer in the
employ of the city, narrowly escaped
death yesterday afternoon at the union
station as the o'clock train for New
York was pulling out. Koran is a
cousin of Sergt. Michael ]. Koran, who
was married yesterday afternoon at
st. Johns church to Miss Nora T.
Downes, and was at the station with a
number Of friends seeing the couple
start on their honeymoon.
He stepped onto the train as it drew
into the station, and remained inside
the car several minutes with the
couple talking and joking, and when
the conductor called out all aboard
he started to get off. Being well up
in the car, he was the last to leave,
and the conductor had just signaHed
the engineer to go ahead as he stepped
onto the floor of the station.
Some time before that several other
wedding parties had boarded trains in
the station, and large amount of rice
was thrown, and another considerable
amount was add ed when Sergt. Koran
and his bride and William Collins and
his bride got aboard the o'clock train.
1t practically covered the floor, and
Koran, in jumping off the train, landed
on a pile Of the rice and slid onto the
floor about two-thirds of his body go
ing under the train as it started up.
He lay not six feet away from the
rear truck on the car, and as the train
moved some of the people who wit
messed the accident turned their heads
away, not caring to see the man ground
beneath the wheels.
One of the brakemen on the train
nos no 1sA% ha Lao. ,,r,I
lied Horan's position in a second and,
jumping toward, grabbed the collar of
his coat and with superhuman effort
dragged him from beneath the wheels
as the train increased it's speed and the
truck of the car almost touched the
|soles of Horan's feet as it rolled by.
He was dazed for a moment and
turning to look for his rescuer, found
that he had departed, and it is sup
posed that he was one of the brakernen
on the train.
At the time there was a big crowd
in the depot, among them Sergt Hill
and Inspector Patrick O'Day, in addi-
ton to several of the railroad en-
ployees, and it all happened so quickly
that the majority of them did not know
of it until it was all over
The habit of throwing rice is a dam
gerous one, and for some time past peo-
pie have been slipping about on it at
the station after it is thrown at couples
| departing on their wedding tours. The
railroad officials would more than well
come law prohibiting such use of it.
Yesterday there was so much of it
about the station that people slipped
about on it time and again, and more
than one man who looked as if he had
long ago passed that stage of life
where rice had been thrown at him,
said unkind things about the happy
| friends of the newly married couples.

It does not lie in the painters fancy to
imagine prettier picture than that of a
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dreamland The mind of happy
n1aidenhood IS a clear and polished mirror,
which. when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sious of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep If the impress
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency Maladies of this nature unfit a
woman for joyous maideuhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They incapacitate her
to bear the burdens of life in any sphere
of action. Household, marital and social
duties alike are burden to the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
eniug drains. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

for a few minutes more beans were
flying through the air than would

A reporter of The Spy was sent cut
the other evening to get a story a5out a
wedding. The home Of the bird. vas
pleasantly situated on Dungarven hill,
far removed from the noise Of electric
cars. It is no easy task to find Ger
tain number, on a dark night, espec-
tally when the houses are not NUM-
bered. But at last, by the free use or
matches and several inquiries, thu right
house was found. A prolonged ser.es-of
knocks brought a frowsy- haired woman
to the door. In one hand she carried
a lamp, carefully shielded from The
gusts OF wind that suggested a coming
rain, and peering into the face OF the
reporter, brusquely asked the young
mans business He explained what he
was there for, and she said with sLs-
picion Of tears in her eyes, and more
than a suspicion of wrath in her VOICE:
That's my name and l guess l am

Eager to follow up what might prove
to be some dark tragedy, the reporter
made a few inquiries in the neighbour
hood, and learned that the prospective
bridegroom had paid an afternoon call
upon his intended, and that there had
been a quarrel, in which the man came
out second best, and in fact bore on his
person various marks of the fray
Thinking that his fair bride might
prove too much for him, the prospective
groom deserted his post. and over
parting glass had told a friend that
he was going far, far away, out of the
reach Of that woman. And while tile
story could not be used as piece Of
news, it may serve as a tale of our

Many New Men Appear as Candidates
for the High School Team.
The foot ball squad of Worcester high
school was out as usual last evening, but
did not take as severe practice as has
been. customary, there being several new
men In the squad. The lads injured in the
games at Springfield and Holyoke last
week are not yet in condition for regular
practice, and the new men could not take
their places, as they have yet to learn the
rudiments of the game, The practice
yesterday consisted In kicking and catch
ing the ball The condition of the injured
players is promising. Shea Is the only
one whose injuries are anyway perma-
nent, and will be the only absentee in the
game with Worcester Academy next week
The date for this game Is not yet settled
on. d. w. Abercrombie, principal of
Worcester Academy, is out of town for
the week. and until his return Manager
day, Oct. 27, as the high school boys de-
sire instead of the following day, as the
game was originally arranged. The
change proposed by high school boys will
be of great benefit to them, as the day is
a holiday in the public schools on account
of a convention of teachers. The chances
are In favor of the game being played
Friday, as a game on that day will be
fully as convenient to Worcester Acade-
my as on Saturday The regular session
lasts until 4 o'clock on both days, and q
dismissal on Friday would be no less in
convenient than on the following day.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
d. B. Dunn of Mill
bury Charged With
Incendiarism.
ARRESTED BY STATE OFFICERS.
Inquest by Fire Marshals
Points to Him as a
Firebug.
ARRESTED BY STATE OFFICERS.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was
held on two fires which occurred in Mill
bury on the evening of Oct IL, at the
office of the state police at 476 Main
street, and as result of the findings,
Daniel B. Dunn, painter living in
Millbury was locked up at station l
charged with the burning.
Dunn has been under suspicion from
the time of the fires, and yesterday, as
soon as the inquest had proceeded long
enough to show sufficient evidence why
he should be arrested, Town Constable
John S. Rich arrested his man and
brought him to station /.
He will be tried at the session of the
central district court this morning and
the officers who have worked on the
case claim they have sufficient evidence
to convict him.
State Fire Marshal Shaw was present
al the hearing, as was State Detective
Peleg r. Murray, and both officials re-
FUSED to state on what evidence Dunn

about the fires.

the witnesses the first fire was discov-

fore the department could get around,
four tons of hay, a part of the barn
and some farming implements were de-

Twenty minutes later Miss Nora

from the roof of her fathers barn. She
van to a fire alarm box and before the
department could get around, the barn
had been burned to the ground and
among other things, eight tons of hay
owned by Brown Bros, were destroyed
Both fires impressed the police officials
OF the town at the time as being Of in
cendiary origin, and they set to work
at once to investigate the matter Both
fires happened within 20 minutes of each
other and certain things went to show
that Dunn knew something about them
In neither place would 1t have been
possible for 4 fire to start, officials say
had not one been set. State Detective
Murray assisted Constable Rich in the
arrest of Dunn.
Dunn has lived in Millbury nearly all
his life and was prominently known in
that town and this city as bicycle re-
pairer. Before the advent of the safety
bicycle ne enjoyed more than local
reputation as a fast man on the high
wheel and won many prizes. He &C
quired considerable notoriety by fitting
an ordinary wheel with pneumatic tires
and riding the machine from his home
in Millbury to his repair shop, which
was then located at the corner of Front
and Vine streets

MARBLE DISPLACED.
Coach Beele Of the Academy Team
Trys New Quarter With Success.

Foot ball practice at Worcester Acade-
my last evening was hard and fast, ana
included a 15-minute lineup between the
regular eleven and the scrub, which con-
tanned IA players Coach Beele worked on
Marshall, who has been substituted at
quarterback instead of Marble, the latter
now playing on the second eleven. Mar
shall was taken from the scrub. He IS
playing better ball at quarter than Mar
BILE did, in spite of the latter's experience,
and will be kept in the position regularly
Marble never got into the interference.
A noticeable fault was that he stood per-
fectly still after passing the ball instead
of assisting in the play. Marshall hasn't
that fault but gets in. He is also pass
ing better than Marble did.
Coach Beele is also working on Russ,
who was moved out to end when Wheeler
showed that he could play guard. Russ
is giving good promise, and the coach is
satisfied the team is stronger than it ever
was Davis has not returned to school
and is not expected.
In the 15-minute lineup yesterday the
school eleven scored three touchdowns,
playing a strong, aggressive game against
the enlarged scrub team. The first
eleven also held well, preventing the scrub
from making extensive gains. The SCRUB,
however, kicked a goal from the field,
which surprised the first eleven.

much to the future prosperity of the
country.

Yesterday afternoon a Spy man
dropped down to the union station to
see friend off for New York, and for
more than an hour while he stayed
there talking, nothing but continual
shower of rice was being thrown
around by friends Of happy young
couples leaving Worcester for their
honeymoon trips.
One incident in particular attracted
attention, and it resulted in taking a
pleasing smile off the countenance of
neat looking young fellow who had
acted as the best man at his friend
wedding. When he entered the station
he was all aglow with enthusiasm, and
in one hand he carried a big bag Of
rice. He threw it around freely and
seemed to be the happ1vst man in the
party Behind came another young
fellow dressed up in a black suit and
wearing a white rose in his button hole
but, instead of bearing a bag of rice,
he carried along a shoe, which must
have been made to fit a man with a
number eleven foot
The fun went on fast and furious I'M
til the train pulled into the station, and
just as the couple went to mount the
steps, the best man emptied his bag of
rice by throwing it in the air. At the
same moment the bearer or the shoe
tossed it through the air. and, although
he did not seem to throw it with any
intention of having it land elsewhere
than on the ground, it struck the best
mans hat, crushing it down over his
ears. Instantly after he had dug him
self out of his hat, he turned around
and, although not a word was spoken,
his looks were as good as a sermon.
He did not appreciate the joke until
some time after but when he passed
The Spy man again he was laughing
and joking with his friend.
A short time ago The Spy man hap
pened to be in the depot when another
wedding camein, but this time the brid-
al party arrived in truck team. The
groom could not speak English, but was
a dapper looking little fellow, and his
bride attractive. His friends had
evidently been in the depot before
when wedding parties arrived and seen
the rice-throwing contingent get in it's
work. When he stepped onto the train
big bag Of beans was unearthed, and

REAWAKEN INTEREST.
Freight Handlers Organizer Will Try
to Arouse Enthusiasm.

A. B. Marvin Of St Adams, VT, or
ganizer of the Freight Handlers union,
talked with members of the former local
union in Labor headquarters last even
ing, and an attempt will be made to or
ganize this department of railroad SER
vice. Mr.. Marvin received the assurance
of hearty support last evening, and will
call meeting within "a few days.
AT one time all railroads running into
this city were firmly organized in this
branch, but prolonged peace made the
existence of a union of little benefit to
the freight handlers. In recent threats
Of strikes among the employees of the

road the weakness of this department
was apparent. The men are now eager
for enlistment in the ranks of organized
labor, and Mr.. Marvin believes that a
strong local will be formed.
