GENTSCH is OUT.
Democratic Commit
tee Secretay Has
Resigned.
FIRST POLITICAL SURPRISE.
Clinton Bryanites Are Not
Disposed to Shed
Many Tears.
FIRST POLITICAL SURPRISE.

Clinton, Sept. 5.-Secretary Charles
H. Gentsch sprang his resignation from
his office of secretary, and from the
committee, at the meeting of the demo-
cratic town committee, tonight, as the
opening surprise of the political season.
The resignation was conveyed in a
letter addressed to the chairman of the
committee, David /. Walsh. No reason
was assigned. The document was in the
tersest language and said simply that
the writer resigned his membership in
the committee and as a consequence the
office of secretary.
The resignation was Immediately ac-
cepted, and the discussion turned to the
question of who should fill the vacant
place in the membership.
The democrats who make up the
working forces of the party were well
pleased to receive such a letter They
say that Mr.. Gentsch has been dead
wood for long time, but has been car
ried along from sheer friendliness, by
men influential in party councils. His
first large appearance in the arena was
in 1897, when he was the only candidate
on the ticket who was defeated. He ran
for town clerk against Samuel W.
Tyler.
He was renominated in the spring Of
this year. This time the party was
showed under. In the meantime the
office of town accountant was made for
him. The office was a useless sinecure.
1t was shown up by The Spy, before the
spring election, and in consequence
abolished in effect, although the office
still exists. Samuel Putnam, who holds
it, gets a salary of but $40 year. Mr..
Gentsch received $500 year.
There was a good deal of talk about
the office among the taxpayers, and it
votes Many persons are guessing to-
night at the reason which induced Mr..
Gentsch to get off the town committee.
Some think he has heard talk around
town, about dropping him at the eau
Gus. Others think he is expressing re-
sentiment of the treatment he received
at Jordan pond, when the organization
of the Worcester County Democratic
Club was effected.
Mr. Gentsch was one of the II Clin-
ton democrats who attended the clam
bake at the pond. He objected because
he was not put upon the executive com
mittee, and raised the old issue of gold
and silver.
The meeting was called for the pur-
poses OF Durylng the metal quarrelS,
and pretty nearly every person of note
at the meeting jumped on him, narrow
ly ayerting a row.
On the way back all but one of the
other 16 members of the Clinton dele
cation condemned Mr.. Gentsch's ac-
ton severely.
The town committee met to fix date
for the caucus. Also to get ready for
the fall campaign. The town has a
III. al Ir,,, l.,
there is more life here than there is
in almost any other place in Massachu-
sets outside of Boston.
Julius Wittig was elected to fill the
vacancy on the committee. He is a well
known German citizen and a member
of the board of assessors. P. f. Cannon
was elected secretary. 1t was voted to
hold the caucus for the election of dele
gates to state convention, etc, on Sept.

at once toward the completion of the
new Catholic cemetery, work upon
which was stopped by litigation be-
tween contesting boards of trustees.
The metropolitan water board has en-
tered into an arrangement by which
two plots in the new cemetery, which
nave been surveyed, will be staked out
and graded The work will be done by
Engineer Harold Parker, under the
nominal direction of Hiram A. Miller,
department engineer for the board.
stripping extends to the edge of the
old cemetery, which is on the edge of
the reservoir. Further work is stayed
by the course. There is no telling when
the deadlock viii be broken, or when
the 1000 bodies in the old grounds will
be taken to the new.
AS matters stand there is no board of
trustees of st. Johns Cemetery associ-
alton who can exercise authority. While
the decision of the court in the recent
litigation was fayorable to the new
board, it was of such a nature that it
did not effect the standing of the boards
except as relates to the contract for the
removal Of the bodies. Action under this
contract is of course permanently sus-
pended. Judge John w Corcoran is in
Europe. He will return the latter part
of this month. 1t may be that things
will happen after his return.

AN UNRULY BUNCH.
Judge Stone Has a
Big Day in Clin-
ton Court.
FATHER AND SON ARRAIGNED.
Leominster and Ashby Con-
tribute Their Share
Of Offenders.
FATHER AND SON ARRAIGNED.

Clinton, Sept 5.-There was big bust
ness before Judge Stone this morning
in the district court, but the men who
made it were so thoroughly cowed by
three nights and three days of confine-
ment in the temporary police station
they had no fighting blood left and al
most uniformly pleaded guilty.
There arc 1900 people in Clinton, and
there were 16 persons under arrest this
morning. only IA of whom appeared be-
fore the court, however.
The case against John Wallace, ANA
teur highwayman, was continued for
one week. Wallace says he had rather
De locked up than living in constant
fear of arrest, as he was until Officer
William S. Grady caught him last
night, as told exclusively in The Spy.
A sight unusual in this country court
was to see father and son arraigned
side by side for drunkenness. The vic
Tins We're Timothy Gates and Charles
II. Gates of Ashby. They pleaded gull
ty and We're fined IS each. They are
respectable persons in their village II
seems that officer Michael F. Smith
found them on High street, Saturday,
trying to fall through a plate glass
window, Whereupon Timothy said to his
son, Toss him, Bill, toss him." There
was nothing for them then but the
cooler
Albert f. Lane, J. A. Stearns md
Fred A. Pingree of Leominster were
three more fellows of a type that does
not often wander into court. Lane
was only fined once, although he was
arrested twice the same night, as told
in The Spy. He was fined So, as his
comrades were. The escapade cost
the young men in the neighborhood of
$50, counting the expenses of Lane S
damaged turnout. They We're required
to settle with Liveryman Andrews for
several panes of glass which they
broke out of the window of his livery
stable.
Edward Brick, also a respectable fell
low when he is sober, has been on a
drunk for six weeks. The court gave
him two months in the house of correc-
ton, that he may have time to sober
up.
Peter j. Moore was the only man in
the bunch who made a defense He
was charged with disturbing the peace
of Smiths boarding house on Greene
street The evidence was too strong for
him, and he was fined IS. The testi-
mony showed that pretty nearly all the
boarders on the first floor had whack
at O'Brien while he was in process OF
being elected.
Martin Ball asked to be let off. II
might have happened if Chief Oren B
Bates had not taken the floor to say
that Ball was also disturbing the
peace in front of the Clinton House
when arrested. Martins portion was
S., which was paid.
Thomas Brady of Boylston and Mat
thew Ward a wanderer, were fined s.
EACH Fred Ordung was fined $40. The
charges were drunkenness. Ordune
got double dose for not appearing
Saturday.
Edward Rennie was taken to Whit
insville today by officer Davis to an
swer to the authorities there for steal
ing a bicycle.

"A DEMENTED WOMAN.

Clinton Policeman Makes a Pitiful
Discovery in Central Park.
Officer Edward E. Clark of Clinton
found woman wandering bareheaded
in Central park tonight. She appears to
be demented She is about 40 years old,
and is plainly dressed in blue and white
calico. For long time she refused to
talk, but finally said her name was
Mary Danforth, and that her home was
on Bloomingdale road, Worcester. Later
she said that she wanted to go to the
hospital near the lake. The police think
that she belongs in Worcester lunatic
asylum. They are holding her until they
can communicate with the managers OF
the institution. The woman appears
very tired and has apparently travelled
a long distance on foot.

A NEW WRINKLE.

A new wrinkle for the illegal sale of
beer has been reported in Clinton. On
Labor day, persons whose names are
unknown, are said to have purchased
u kegs of beer in town, which they took
to a secluded place near Billiards. HILL
which is between Lancaster and Leon
mister. There they dispensed it to
choice spirits at three cents a glass
The practice has been reported once
previously. This method of selling is
likely to continue for some time, the po-
lice here think before the authorities
of any of the neighboring towns have
a chance to arrest somebody.
