SAD SCENE.
Parents of John Connor Learned of
the Tragedy Through Spy Reporter.

Parents of John Connor Learned of
the Tragedy Through Spy Reporter.
Providence, Aug. 2o.-When a Spy
representative called upon the aged
parents of John Connors on Oak street
in Olneyville tonight and notified them
that their son was dead, there was a
sad scene. 1t was a few moments be-
fore Mr.. or Mrs. Connors fully realized
the force of the disaster which had
oVertaken them in their old age.
With the parents of John Connors, in
that neat, wholesome home in Olney-
vile, resides his 17-year-old son. The
mother died some time ago, and since
then the boy has lived with his grand
mother, who thinks the world of him.
Mrs. O'Connor's grief was pitiful in
the extreme, as she told of the love she
bore for her boy, while that of aged
Mr.. Connors, though less demonstra-
tive, was none the less sincere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Connors told The Spy
man that after their son John was dis
charged from the army, last March, he
remained about town until April, when
he went to work at his trade in Mys-
tic, CT.
He then went to Westerly, r. L.. and
that was the last Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
nors knew of their son until notified
of his death by The Spy man, to-
night.
A brother of the dead man will leave
Providence for Webster on the first
train, tomorrow morning.

in active life might be prolonged almost
indefinitely, while the list of those VINO
have done well in retirement ana dled
with money is practically non-eXlstenl'
Several of those who have been prom
inent of late years are still well heel-
ed financially, and some of them may
succeed in making money in their pre-
sent occupations. Most of them are
now selling liquor, but there are excep-
tions. Frank P. Slavin is said to nave
been in the Klondike mines along with
Joe Boyle for some time, and to nave
appeared in Seattle recently with w.
600 in gold. McAuliffe is bookmaker
and reputed to be prosperous. Jem
Smith the Englishman. is alternately
making and losing money betting on
the races. Corbett Charlie Mitchell
and Bob Fitzsimmons, the latter espe-
cially, may be considered more likely
to keep their money as long as they
live than of the other has-beens. Pos
sibly Mitchell shouldn't be spoken OF
as a has been, for there is talk of his
fighting Jeffries at some future time
in England. Those who know both men
think Mitchell will be a sure has-been
after the fight, if he isn't now.

FOOLED THE POLICE.
Boston Architect Spirited
Away His Own
Child.

Boston, Aug. 20.-J. Franklin Thomas
an architect, living at 81 Dele avenue,
Roxbury, for some peculiar reason, re-
ported to the police today that his ten
months'old boy had been kidnapped. A
general alarm was sent out, and for ten
hours every effort was made to locate
the child. Late tonight the father no.
tified the police that he had snatched
the child from the arms of the kid
nappers, but when closely questioned
admitted that the whole story was q
lie. He gave no excuse for his action
in spiriting away his own child, but it
is believed that there were domestic
complications.
The story told by Thomas to the po-
lice was extremely ingenious, and mis-
grief. apparently sincere, was so
marked that they thought they had
another Marion Clark case on their
hands. In the story told by Thomas,
a note which he claimed was left by
the kidnappers in the baby's carriage
figured quite prominently, but, as it
happened, it was this very note which
proved his duplicity.
About O'Clock tonight he notified The
police that the child had been found,
and at the same time wrote a letter to
one of the local papers, asking that the
story of the kidnapping be suppressed,
claiming that 1t would be a shock to
his mother-in-1a The two letters
were compared and the writing found
to be Identical
If Thomas wanted to create a stir he
succeeded, for the police were hustling
TO find several mysterious persons who
had figured in the rigmarole told by
him at headquarters. He also produced
a note purported to have been left III
the baby's carriage.
1t was the handwriting that made
the police suspicious after Thomas note
had been compared with the mysterious
one.
To the police Thomas again told 2
thrilling story, this time of his rescue
of the child, but it did not go, and
Thomas has yet to make further ex-
plantations. 1t is undetermined what
will be done in the case.

Claimed Enemys of
Briggs Burned st.
Peters.
HIGH CHURCHMEN SUSPECTED.
Rector Offers Large Reward
to Discover the
Criminal.

New York, Aug. 20.-The Herald to-
morrow will publish the following:
More surprising than any other feat
ure of the controversy excited by the
entry of the Rev. Charles A. Briggs
into the Episcopal church Is he sus-
picion of ti-Briggsites that broad
churchmen inspired the burning Of st.
Westchester, on Wednesday last.
In proof of their belief that the fire
was of incendiary origin, the vestry and
rector of the church have united in Of
fering the reward of 1000 for the appre-
hension of the incendiary In addition,
the Rev. Frank Clendin$in, rector of
the church, declared today that the re-
ward would be increased to $4,000 if
necessary to clear up the mystery.
St. Peters church and its rector have
figured most conspicuously in the dis
sensions caused in the Episcopal church
by the announcement that Prof. Briggs
was to be there ordained to the priest
hood
1t was in this church that Bishop
Potter intended to perform the erdina-
tion service. Rev DIR. Clendenin, one
of the strongest opponents of Prof.
Briggs, in the diocese, refused to allow
the use of ST. Petec's church for the
ordination service. 1t is the belief of
the members of the vestry that the fire
was started by some person who wished
to be revenged for the defeat of the
plan to ordain Briggs in st. Peters.

JUMPED TO DEATH.
Geo. M. Bailey of Ftchburg, Aged n,
Suicide.

Fitchburg, Aug. 19.-George NJ. Bal
ley, II years old, committed suicide
this afternoon by jumping from a sec
ond-story window in the Burbank hos
pital.
What prompted the action is a mys-
terry to the hospital authorities. Bailey
has been in feeble health and unable to
leaVe his bed without assistance for 10
days past. The most probable theory
is that the unfortunate man became
temporarily insane from brooding over
MS illness, and during the fit of aberra-
ton threw himself from the window.
Balley has been in poor health for
some time past, and has made his
nome with an only daughter. Mrs. Ell
len w. Terrell, at 139 Lunenburg street.
he was admitted to the hospital June
"a. where he has been treated for kid
ney trouble. OF late he has been unable
TO leave his bed Yesterday noon a
nurse brought him his dinner and when
ne had finished left the room for a mo-
'ment TO carry the dishes back to the
kitchen. She had barely reached the
foor below when some of the attend
ants saw body fall from one of the
windows.
They hurried to the spot and found
that Bailey had thrown himself from
the open window to the ground, a dis
tance of about Is feet. He was carried
into the hospital and every effort made
TO revive him, but without avail. The
injured man died within a few minutes.

A DIsLocATED SHOULDER.
Accident to BugIer CoIvin While Blcy-
cling Yesterday.

Bugler A. B. Colvin, of the stearns
Cycle club, met with a very painful and
what came near proving a serious ac-
cident yesterday while on a run with
that club to Provincetown The accident
happened at South birmingham and
Colvin sustained a dislocated shoulder
and badly bruised right side Frank
Lewis, who also figured in the accident,
had his wheel smashed all out of shape.
Both were compelled to leave the re-
mainder of the party and take the first
train back for home.
The boys left the club rooms at 430
in the morning bound for ride to Bos-
ton and then a boat ride to Province
town. The party included f. A. Pierce,
A B. Colvin, Frank Lewis, Walter H.
Brown, Walter P. Rice, Eugene Fisher,
and Al Needham. At South Framing
ham Pierce, Lewis, Colvin and Need
ham figured in a bad spill. When they
pulled themselves out of the heap it was
found that Colvin was the only one
hurt. Colyin's shoulder will cause him
considerable annoyance and pain for a
week or more, but nothing serious will
come of it.
