of place. The company is capitalized
at 100000 in $40 shares, with w. II.
Rice and other well-known Honolulu
people as officers and directors. They
have purchased block of property be-

will be occupied by the stables, where
there will be accommodation for 115
horses. Twelve roomy box-stalls

Establishment will be a room 100 by so
feet used for the storage of hay and
grain. The front half of the upper

not intended that the construction Of
the new building shall interfere with
them, as they, already are bringing in
satisfactory returns.

concern, has established reputation

The Occidental Liner Failed to Catch
the Pacific Mail Boat
A thirty-siX hour race for this port
between two China liners kept the
passengers OF each boat awake Satur-
day night, and in its issue gave the
captain of the City of Picking of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company the
satisfaction Of keeping in the wake of
his vessel the Oriental and Occidental
Steamship Company's Gaelic. Captain
Finch OF the Gaelic, which sailed froL.
Honolulu eleven hours after the City
of Picking, sighted the smoke of the
rival steamship just before sunrise of
Friday morning. The few passengers
awake at thu. hour rOusedthe others
and the interest in the ocean race
grew il intensity each hour, as the
Gae,!c seemed 10 gain on the other.
The passengers OF each vessel collected
was distributed among the firemen
and coz I&sscrs as an incentive to do
their Utmost. Extra draught was
thrown into the furnaces and every
pound Cc pressure compatible with
safety was applied to the propellers.
At 4 O'Clock yesterday morning the
Gaelic was to overhaul the Picking
when breeze sprang up, of which the
Picking was quick to take advantage.
Every Bit Of sail she had was used,
greatly increasing her speed. Captain
Finch Of the Gaelic was afraid on ac-
count Of the Light cargo OF his vessel to
spread much canvas and the Picking
gradually drew away. The Picking was
reported about half hour ahead OF
the Gaelic. Many bets were laid in
Honolulu that the Gaelic would over
take the Others. i. Chronicle.

turning the body over carefully and
tenderly. There was no discoloration
whatever, except on the left side of
the face which lay upon the moist
ground.
The spot where the body was found
was surrounded by brush which was
extremely dense. In the centre of the
brush was an oblong clearing about 6xS
feet. There was a growth of rank
grass which grew to a height of about
two feet. Several large cobbles, some
covered with moss, and some bare,
were scattered about the place.
Mr.. Bartons body was found at the
north side of this clearing and close
to the bushes. 1t reclined upon tie left
side, the left arm beneath the body, the
forearm and hand extending outward,
the palm upward, slightly contracted.
The gold ring which Mr.. Barton wore
was plainly discernible on the little
finger of this hand.
The general position was that of a
man who had fallen or laid down, over
come by WEAKNESS, and had calmly
fallen asleep. The head was in a nat
Ural position, the chin reclining upon
the bosom.
The right arm was extended across
the body, over the left forearm, and
the palm of the hand rested upon a
boulder, with apparent ease. When the
hand was lifted, the impression of The
boulder was left in the palm. His hat

MISSING CLINTON WOMAN.
VIM. connelI Will Store His Furniture If
She Doesn't Return.

Clinton, July 1.-THE disappearance
of Mrs. Della Cornell from the home
of her husband, william Connell, the
well known ball player, is causing Mr.,
Cornell the -keenest anxiety. Mrs.
Connell is one of the most popular
young women in Clinton. She was mar
ried about five years ago and has al
ways seemed devoted to her home.
She left Saturday morning, when she
took the car for Worcester at the Ian
cestr mills bridge She has not been
seen since by anybody who knows her.
One of her friends says that she had
been acting strangely for three or four
days before she went away.
When Mr. Cornell left the house
Saturday morning she said. Good
bye, Will you will never see me
again.
He thought she was joking and gave
no thought to the incident, until he
came in to dinner and found the key
to his house hanging in the entry and
his wife missing. Mr.. Council is con-
WINGED that Mrs Cornell will return
within the neXt two weeks. If she
does not he will store the furniture in
their handsomely furnished home and
keep it until she does return,
Mrs Council could not have had more
than $25 in her purse. Her husband de-
MES the rumor that she had drawn $500
on her bank book. All the money she
ever had in the bank is intact.
Everybody here is keenly interested
in the case. Mrs. Connell has many eel
atives here. Mr.. Connell is known faI
and wide as a ball player. He once
caught on the old Washburn & Moen
team of Worcester. He has played pro-
fessional base ball in half the towns in
the state and in all the larger towns ir

prickly nature, and the HANDS of the
gatherer of the flowers had been pro-
tected by a black silk handkerchief,
which had been wound about them.
This was about 345 o'clock. Mr.. Fanff
then went to the Dudley homestead
Mrs. Dudley remembered the bouquet
which Mr.. Hanff showed her as the
one carried by the old gentleman We'd
nesday morning, early This was proof
conclusive that Mr. Hanff was on the
right track.
After his preliminary examinations
man had died from drowning.
The Spy man returned to the wall.
Here he loked for other clues. About
four feet from the place where the
bouquet was found on the top of the
wall he discovered white object which
resembled an envelope.
Closer examination showed that it
was a white linen pocket handkerchief
neatly folded. with initial b. on top.
The Spy man was then certain that
the owner Of the handkerchief and the
one who picked the bouquet Of wild
flowers was none other than William
S. Barton.
He then unfolded the handkerchief
and about 30 blue5erries, which had
been carefully folded in were found.
Mr.. Hanff refolded the handkerchief
and placed it in his pocket.
He then continued on the same cir
cular plan. Here he was Joined by
George Irvine, the colored man en-
ployed by Mr.. Dudley as a farm hand.
Mr.. Hanff learned from Irvine the ex-

missing man.
Mr.. Hanff then went down through
the pasture to the pond, where the
Lakeville Wooden Company have an
ice house. From the ice house Mr..
Hanff searched along the show from
shores were rugged, and it was with
difficulty that he could make his way
in safety. Every nook and Granny was
thoroughly searched, but nothing could
be found which would lend the least
clue. Mr.. Hanff inquired at the post
office and other places in the neighbour
hood, if any man had been seen in the
vicinity during Wednesday or Thurs
day. Receiving an answer in the mega
tive, Mr.. Hanff started for fields anew
He then returned to the small pond
near the highway, where the Dudley
girls had seen the strange man We'd
nesday. Here Mr.. Hanff began a sys-
tematic search. He calculated his dis
tances carefully and took circular
routes from the pond to the wall. His
first trip awaited him nothing, and he
started back on the same course, about
20 feet farther back.
He had made the wall by the road
side the second time when he discov-
cred bouquet lying upon the top of
the wall. Then Mr.. Hanff knew he had
a clue, and continued the search with
renewed energy.
The bouquet was a large one and
consisted of every variety of seasons

the stems there was something of a

act territory which had been covered
by the searching party of the morning
| His object was to save time, and to
make a thorough search of the part
they had not gone over.
The Spy man started Irvine in the
direction of Long pond, with directions
to hold to the circular plan, closing in
two feet on each turn and examining
every inch of ground carefully Here
the brush was extremely thick, and
every precaution had to be taken to
insure success.
Mr.. Hanff took the dog Sport and
started in so feet east of where Irvine
started, taking the circular route back
ana forth toward the road. After he
mad entered the thicket about 100 yards
ne turned into an open spot
He sent the dog Sport towards the
read, and continued toward Long pond.
After a search of about two minutes he
saw the body lying in the thicket about
seven feet from where he stood.
He went up to the body at once, and
saw the grey hair and beard, and at
once recognized the features as those
or eX-Clty Treasurer Barton.
Mr.. Hanff leaned over the body, ten
derby grasped the left hand and found
it was stiff and cold, and that life was
extinct. Though alone with the dead,
he made further examination, to make
sure that his first impressions were
correct.
He then shouted vigorously to Irvine
The thicket extended 200 yards from
the road in one direction and for acres
in the other. So thick was the brush
that both men We're obliged to call to
each other repeatedly before Irvine
reached the side of Mr.. Hanff.
A short conference was held after
which Mr.. Hanff dispatched Irvine to
the house of Era C. Dudley with direc-
tons to have Medical Examiner w. e.
Chamberlain notified, while he remain
ed by the side of the body.
Medical Examiner Chamberlain ar
rived with Irvine as a guide. about s

For These the City, Says Ex-MaYor Marsh
Will Hold Mr.. Barton in Grateful Memory.
Hon. Henry A. Marsh, mayor of Wor-
cester in 1898, "a and 's5, said of Mr..
Barton: HE was a fine-grained. high
type of city official, Taking the office
of city treasurer after his experience
In Boston, he brought the benefit of
pank training that was shown in one
way by the coupon system adopted in
keeping accounts. Mr.. Barton had said
mat the system was Of his own design
The administration of the office of
treasurer, until age overlook him, was
all that could be desired.
He possessed, until the burden of
age weighed on him, a remarkable gem
lal, pleasant manner in the discharge
OF all duties of the office. AS the bust
ness of the city rapidly developed he
still had the desire to discharge in per-
son practically all the details of counter
work that he had performed in the
early days. The burden was too great
Tor him to bear and he clearly showed
signs of overwork in the performance
of what were strictly clerical duties.
Many times | suggested to him that
ne have separate room where he could
be consulted and give thought and at
tention to the larger matters in the adj
ministration Of the city's finances on
another occasion, l urged that he oc-
cupy a desk in the office and detail
clerks to do counter work. But while
seeing the force Of my suggestions he
said he was responsible for the admin
istration of the Office and preferred and
insisted to do the work as of old. He
seemed to feel that as city treasurer
he should be brought directly In con-
tact with all persons visiting the office
Conspieuously during the payment OF
taxes he found the task greater than
he could bear, which was the cause of
the expression of impatience at times
with persons dealing with him.
HIS administration as treasurer OF
the city sinking fund and various trust
funds OF the city was very successful
and methodical. In fact during his en-
tire administration, the one word that
would characterize all administration
OF duties Of this office is fidelity The
city Will always hold in grateful mem
