PRACTICED HERE
Father Of Congressman ou-
tell Dies in Washington.

Lewis Howard Boutell, father of Con-
gresham Boutell of Chicago, died at
his home in Washington. yesterday, of
heart failure. He was the brother-in-
law of Postmaster j. EVarts Greene of
this city, and consequently a connec-
ton of Senator Hoar. at one time Mr.
Boutell practiced law in Worcester. he
and the late j. Henry Hill occupying
adjoining offices in the old Brinley
block, which stood on the site of the
State Mutual building. Not many law
yers now in practice We're contempar-
aries of his, though JOHN A. Dana
George Swan, Col. w A Williams and
a few others may recall him.
4 Mr.. Boutell was born in New Bed
ford about II years ago. He began
the practice of law in Westboro in
lS4S or 1S49. Early in the sos he re-
moved to Worcester, and though he
remained here but little over a year
he compelled recognition of his legal
abilities which subsequently won, him
fame and wealth in the west In the
midst OF the war, he removed to War
rensburg, Mo-, where ne became a ma
Jor IN cavalry regiment and partici-
; pated in various operations in the
southwest. He Joined the army of Gen.
Thomas and fought in the battle of
Nashville, where Braggs forces were
routed
After the war Mr.. Boaten removed
to Chicago, and YVES very successful
in his profession of the law. He served
as assistant district attorney, but as
his official superior was but an in
ferior practitioner, the bulk of the
work fell upon Mr.. Boutel, and he
made so distinguished a record that
subsequently the government retained
him as special counsel for the prose-
cution of the famous whisky cases.
Until the internal revenue law was
enacted, the office of United States dis
trict was sinecure, and the
crush of new business that resulted
from the new laws. found this office in
nearly every state unable to cope with
It, Mr. Boutell was so successful in
organizing the Chicago office that he
was sent by the government as a sort
OF inspector to reorganiZe other Off
ces throughout the west, according to
his own plans.
Mr.. Boutell retired from his large
and lucrative practice about four
years ago, and mas lately made his
winter home in Washington. where his
son now represents one of the Chicago
districts in Congress. Mr.. Boutell has
written a number of valuable histori-
cal papers. Two years ago he pub
ilshed life of Roger Sherman, which
mas been warmly praised, both for his

ARE SATISFIED.
South Worcester People Approve Of the
Long Cars" Service.

The petition which has been in pro-
gress among the residents OF the South
Worcester district for better and more
frequent service ON the Consolidated
Railway has borne more fruit than was
az first anticipated.
When the agitation for more effect
i've service was first started by Council
man James f. Timon, the Consolidated
officials saw the force of the demand,
and promises were made to grant the
South Worcester patrons some OF the
extra advantages which they desired
The first move was made in the put
ting on the South Worcester line of
larger and more comfortable cars, to
take the place of some of the old bob
cars which had been in use so long.
At first the people Of that part of the
city thought that they wanted a differ
ent schedule Offering more cars to the
city and more frequent trips. How
ever. the Consolidated officials found
that they could not make more fire.
quent trips with the present switching
facilities.
The long cars which were put on the
line as a test, have proved entirely sat
isfactofy, and yesterday the assurance
was given the South Worcester people
that the. Consolidated will take Off the
bob cars entirely, and that shortly the
long cars will be used alone.
The news has created a good deal of
satisfaction among the patrons in
South Worcester, and the disappear
ance of the bob cars will be hailed
with acclaim.
Already the petitions sent out by
Councilman Timon and placed at the
drug stores Of Charles J. Foley, Jar
dimes. Beal's and Moriarty's, have been
literally signed, and will be filed at the
city hall this week as a formalIty, since
the assurance has been given by the
Consolidated officials that the long cars
will be run.
The petitions contain several hundred
signatures, and express the opinion OF
the representative people Of South
worcester. The people are not 80 anx-
ious for different schedule, and with
the better cars. they will be content
with the time table as in operation at
the present time. so that the request for
more frequent trips will not be pressed
further.

delight whenever he arose, and whose
earpest and forceful delivery so well

There was no new development yes

Inspectors o'Day and Stone visited the
house yesterday and secured a descrip-

The inspectors agree with the theory
given in yesterdays Spy, that the burg
iary OF sunday night and the one that
took place at the residence OF It. IN.
Clark, few months ago, are Identical
IN nature. They are also inclined to
the belief that but one man took part in

one in the city or from the outside. il
Is impossible to say; whoever did the
work evidently understood his business.
