Major MoGurn Said To Be the Likely Win
ner as Colonel of the Ninth.
Major Surgeon Francis X. Magurn
and Capt. Percy Sawyer of Company d,
Ninth Massachusetts volunteers, were
in Worcester last night.
Mai. Magurn has announced his in
tention of entering the race for colonel
of the Ninth, made vacant by the
death of Col, Fred B. Began, and was
in Worcester last night in the inter-
ests of his campaign for the position
At present there are three candidates
Lieut.. Col. Logan, who was appointed
colonel Of the Ninth Massachusetts
volunteers on the death of Col Began;
Maj. Donovan, who was appointed
lieutenant colonel, and Mai. Maguln.
The general opinion among the local
officers in the Ninth is that Mai, Ma
gurn will be the lucky candidate, as
his record in Cuba stands by him even
better than that of Col Logan. His
treatment Of the men in the regiment
as major surgeon has brought nothing
nut compliments to him at the hands
OF the men since he arrived home after
the campaign. He has the hearty sup
port OF the local officers in his candi-
dacy, and his election to the Office is
almost certain
To The Spy man last night Mai. Ma
gurn explained his position by stating
that he has been urged to run for
colonel and although he has entered
the race little late, he is going to
make a good fight. All three candidates
nave been in Worcester in their own in
terests, The date for the election has
not been definitely settled.

TO BRO " n.
Academy To Lose
Principal.
TO BE PRESIDENT.
D. W. Abercrombie Repor-
ted New Head OF University.

There is a possibility that Worcester
may lose one of her best known educa-
tors. 1t is stated that the presidency
of Brown university at Providence, r.
l., has been offered to Principal D. w.
Abercrombie of Worcester academy.
The members of the special nominal
ing committee OF the university re-
manned reticent when approached by
The Spy man in regard 70 the matter,
and Mr.. Abercrombie was equally UNI
willing to talk, but the information
came from a very reliable source, and
it is undoubtedly true
Mr.. AbercrOmbie refuses to discuss
the matter one way or anC ther, and,
even if the offer has been made, there
is no certainty that it will be ac-
cepted His reputation as an educator
has become very widely extended dur
ing his connection with the Worcester
academy, which has become, under his
direction, one of the leading fitting
schools of New England. 1t is stated
that the authorities of Brown have loEg
had him in view as a suitable man for
the position of successor to President
Andrews.
Mr.. Abercrombie came to Worcester
in March, 1882, as the principal of the
local academy, having previously held
q similar position in Vermont academy.
He is a graduate of Harvard college,
and has received the degree of master
of arts from Brown university. He is
man of strong personality, and great
ability as an educator. 1t is due to his
determined efforts and executive abil-
ity that Worcester academy has taken
the high rank it now holds among New
England preparatory institutions He
has by his individuality drawn a large
following of friends to the academy,
and has, as we'll, secured fer it a very
large amount of financial aid. These arc
the very qualities that Brown univer-
sity needs in it's official mead at the
present time, as the institution Is
known to be in poor circumstances fin
ancially, especially since the resigna
ton of President Andrews, and 1t is
believed that for this reason more than
any other Principal Abercrombie has
been picked out by the trustees as the
new president of the university.

Against Granting Them.
Considerable feeling is aroused in the
Svea Gille Club because of the starting of
petition by the Swedish Temperance So
ciety against licenses being granted clubs
The members take the petition to be aimed
directly at their organization. Several
members say that is the real purport of
the petition.
AXel Hanson, a former secretary of the
association says the Swedish Good Tenn
plars protested a year ago without avail,
and he expected this petition would meet
the same fate.
Rev. Nels Eagle one of the originators
of the petition, says the petition is gotten
up as a protest against all club licenses
He says a club license is abused, and that
liquor is sold at all hours and even on
Sunday; He said the Svea Gille Club was
objected to as well as the rest.
Those who have started che petition are:
