Mr.. AB0RNS FAILURE.
There Is a Wide Difference In the Estimates OF His
Liabilities.

The failure of James S. Aborn, for
merly of this city and now OF Worces-
ter. has given rise to all sorts of stories
i'm regard to his alleged liabilities. His
counsel admits. IL is said. that they eX-
ceed $25, 900. while some men who ought
TO know say they will be nearly $780,
600. Mr.. Aborn had hundreds of custo-
mers who will consent To almost any
settlement rather than subject them
selves to the publicity involved in IN
solvency proceedings.
1t Is said that a great majority OF the
losers are small investors. and some OF
them have lost their all. Haight a.
Eresse are the New York correspon7
dents of Mr.. Aborn. and they, IL Is said,
have agreed to give him an extension
and accept his orders In the future. Mr..
Aborn IS member OF the Hahcock,
commonwealth and Worcester CLUBS
and an honorary member OF the wa
chusett Boat club. He is an enthuslas-
tic sportsman and . great friend or am
ateur boating Ht was promoter OF
the Ouinsigamond annual regatta, ana
had more to do than any other man IN
sending Ten Eyck 10 England to win
the diamond SOULS at Henley
He went to Worcester from iroNi-
dence about six years ago, ana was re-
yarded as man of wealth. Mr.. Aborh
was well known here and Tor many
wears was connected In business with
the late Henry G. Clark.

HARB0R Improvement.
Report Of Committee viii Be Made al Tonlghls
Meeting Of Tho Common Council

The fact that the harbor committee
of fhe city council will submit a report
at tonight's meeting of the common
council is assured. and II is also known
that the committee will ask for the
pa assage OF a resolution directing the
city solicitor to Apply TO the General
Assembly for the enactment of such
legislation as will enable the city to
control the flats between the wharf at
the, foot OF Henderson street and Har-
Dor Junction.
III is generally believed that the cost
of securing control OF the land between
the harbor line as et present estab-
lished and the high water mark Will
be insignificant The upland owners
have a right OF access over the water
To the ocean, which would probably
not be disturbed, as the requirement
of the property indicated by the city
would still leave the highway TO the
ocean available to them. unless such
right was purchased by the city while
the implied right 10 fiji in to the estab-
lished line could be revoked, where no
steps had been taken 10 improve the
onportunity afforded. The question OF
expenditures is one which Will receive
attention from the committee in the
near future.
The harbor committee proposes to
90 slow in the matter OF building
docks constructing one or two, and
adding others, as the demands are
made for increased facilities. IL the
Improvement OF the harbor is to be
carried out.

FlOURISHED A RAZOR.
TeTa Tried 10 Use The Weapon on Fusco, but Did
MOI Inlure Him Much.

There was some trouble in Federal
Hm yesterday afternoon, and 1t was
all brought about by an argument be-
tween Antonio Fuseo and Giovanni
Tella. which occurred at the corner OF
Cedar and Murphy streets. Just what
the Italians started to argue about is
not known. but suddenly there was a
flash OF steel and Tella was hourishing
a razor around the head Of Fusco.
In few seconds there was crowd
OF Italians around the men, and ScrgL
white and Pairolmen King and Gif-
ford soon had Tella under arrest. This
did not seem 20 please some Of the
Italians. and there were threatening
movements and the three officers had
all the work they wanted on thcir
hands at one time to take the prisoner
out of the colony. Finally Tella was
landed 10 a cell at the 4th station and
Antonio Delcc3co was olsO incarcerated

A GIANT POPLAR.
II Was over Two Years OLD
When II Died.

The oldest and largest tree in Talbot
county is dead. 1t has been dying for
20 years or more. The tree is a NAM
moth tulip poplar in a field OF Poplar
Hill farm, near the public road leading
from Easton to Trappe, about a mile and
q halls from Easton. The farm has been
named for the tree for at least 200 years
and is the property of Mrs. Edmund
Law Rogers, nee Platter, of Baltimore.
and was part of the original Platter grant
made in early colonial times.
Scientific men who have from time to
time wished this tree have said that it
would take at least 900 years for this
species of poplar to grow to such a size
in this locality. 1t stands alone, a pic
turesQue feature of the landscape. in an
open field and can be seen for miles from
all roads and from the water courses.
The wonderful size of the tree is in the
magnitude and height Of its trunk. APP
proximately it is $50 feet high and 20
feet in diameter. The head is compare
lively small, and the first limb is POO feet
from the ground, and it carries it's diam
eter symmetrically all the way up.
From it's top. at night, for many venture
some and agile climbers have assembled
1t, the light in Sharp's island lighthouse
~ ~ DliluIN Y n uud u
riage behind it ann be seen from tho
nearby public road.
The lightning has not spared it. 1t is
seasoned and gashed and split by the
many bolts which have struck it and
which have also knocked huge limbs from
it's top. Tradition says that o years
ago, which is as far back as tradition
claims to have known the tree-it is
named in land deeds 100 years ago-it
had lightning marks on it and even show
ed marks of failure. Three years ago it
was struck four times in one summer.
This fierce attack undoubtedly FASTENED
its end.
Well, the giant is dead. TIL old poplar
of Poplar Hill probably saw the begin
ming of the tenth century and died just
before the beginning of the twentieth. 1t
was the Mount Shasta of the Talbot
Observation-Disclosures Sun.
