TIRED OF LIFE.
Frightful Termination of a

Philadelphia, Feb. 19.--Mrs. Charles
Fahrenkamp, aged % years; her two
children, Florence and William aged
respectively 10 and years, and an
unknown woman, aged about 80 years.

Mrs. Fahrenkamp's home, No. 1416
North SD street. The gas was turned
on and life had apparently been ex-
tinct for several days Scattered
about the first floor were remnants of
cigars and cigarets and empty beer
and whisky bottles.
The bodies were found by a neighbor
who had forced an entrance to the
house. Mrs. Fahrsnkamp was lying
on the floor and her daughter near bv,

in bed. The last heard from the in
mates of the house was on Thursday

until a late hour.
on Friday morning. Mrs Wilson. liv-
ing next door, was asked by Florence
to assist her in raising her mother
from the floor where the child said she
was sleeping. Mrs. Wilson told her she
was unable to do so, and suggested
that the girl cover her mother and al
low her to continue sleeping. The two
women and the boy. ( is believed. were
then dead, and from the position Of

Already there has been a large in

The dark-hued forebodings of the
croakers who prQphesied that the re-
cent formation of the big wire trust in
which Worcester plays so important a
part, would result in the ultimate de-
struction of a great part of Worcester's
industrial prosperity through the re-
moval which they were fond of fore
casting of the local plants of the Wash
burn g. Moen Company to the western
factories of the trust, seem doomed to
disappointment.
To be sure, few people have really
believed that any such action as the Ill
Innate closing up of the local plants
would result from the formation of the
trust but there has lurked in the minds
of many a more or less vague fear that
this might take place through the ma
tural desire Of some of the prominent
western men in the big combine to
benefit their section of the country by
such a removal either wholly or In part,
The developments in the business
which is being carried on at the Wor-
cester factories since the trust took the
control of them. however, ought to
reassure those who have feared that
Worcester would lose much of its man
ufacturing prestige from this cause.
In stead of being about to reduce the
output and the activity of the local
works, the trust recognizes the value
of the local plants as manufacturing
units and is preparing to enlarge the
part that the Worcester factories will
play in the work of the combine.
A prominent official of one Of the local
plam who has under his care the sup
erintendence of a large portion OF the
output of the local mills, as well as
the general oversight of the construc-
ton work connected with them. was
seen yesterday by Spy man and made
number of statements which would
seem to place complete quietus on all
reports relative to the diminution of
their activity, either now or in the
future.
The mills at the present date are run
ming in nearly all departments on full
time and there is every likelihood that
the working force of the mills will have
to be increased by several hundred
workmen in the near future. Yesterday
the men from the repair shops at the
Grove street mill were kept working in
large numbers making preparations for
turning out an unusually large amount
of work during the coming weeks,

THE MIDDLEAGES
And the Monks That Bright
ened Their Darkness.

When Rev. DIR. P. j. Garrigan, vice
rector of the Catholic University at
Washington, uttered the final sentence
in st. Johns school hall last evening
he wound up course of lectures re-
markedly successful from both lit
erary and financial standpoint. The
course was for the benefit Of the Notre
Dame convent fund. The receipts from
the lectures will materially increase
the fund.
The lectures have been Of exception
al merit, and last evenings was the
climax The famous theologian, schol-
arly and eloquent, had FOR his subject,
1.-THE monks and the middle ages
,Dr. Garrigan said in part:
The subject which will engage our
attention this evening Is an important
subject from every point of view. 1t
Is a historical study repete with inter-
est, referring to the most interesting
epoch in Christian civilization, bringing
US back to a period Of revolution and
evolution which has no parallel in hu-
man history, to a crisis Of human af-
fairs which for centuries threatened the
loss of civilization and Of those treas
ures Of literature and art which have
been the model OF true human progress.
IT embraces a class of men and a pc
riod Of history which have been mis-
understood and much abused by igno-
rant and prejudlced historians
But we shall see from unquestion-
able evidence that we owe to this class
Of men and this epoch Of history some
Of the best things in our civilization
the things that have served and are
stu serving for the highest refinement
of the human mind; the best moral and
social conditions OF man
We cannot understand the conditions
that prevailed In the middle ages by
the social and political economy Of our
own day; our range of vision is not
large enough for that. The thoughts
Of the men Of those ages about this life
and the next, their standard of rights
and duties, are as far removed from
ours as Is their speech and require a
like careful analysis to become intelll-
gible.
The term middle ages" Is used to
define the intermediate period between
the civilization Of Rome and that OF
today beginning with the 5th century
Of the Christian era and ending with

CORNlSH'S LETTERS.
Threatening EplstIes Sent to Persons
Whom He DisIked.

New York. Feb. 19-This will prob
ably be one of the most interesting
weeks in the inquest into the death of
Mrs. Kate j. Adams. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne expects to OBJ
tain reliable information from Mrs.
Florence Rogers, Mrs. Roland b. Mo-
lineuX. Barnets two professional
nurses. and other women who in one
way or another have been connected
with the Knckerbocker Athletic Club
Mr.. Osborne is determined that he will
prosecute the investigation with all
vigor. In the last week a good deal
of progress has been made in the in
quiry, but although the officials of the
district attorneys office have repeated
ly made the statement that they have
in their possession evidence sufficient
to indict and convict the guilty per-
son. this has certainly not been given
to the public, nor have they secured it
at the coroner's court.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
said today that there had been no new
developments in the case. He had in
his possession, he acknowledged,
number of letters Of a more or less
threatening nature, which are said to
have been sent by Cornish to certain
persons whom Cornish dis!iked. The
assistant district attorney considers
these letters important in view of the
fact that Cornish on the witness stand
made the declaration that he had no
enemies that he knew of. During the
past week Mr.. Osborne has been giving
Impressions that he more that sus-
poets Cornish. 1t may. be , however,
that this is another Of the strategies
that the prosecution has been indulg-
ing in from the beginning
There is one thing that Mr. Osborne
congratulates himself upon-that he
made Moineoux admit that until .he
time of his marriage in November of
last year, he harbored a feeling of en-
nifty against Cornish. That, it is under
stood. Mr.. Osborne considers a vastly
important piece of testimony.

MILLER WINS.
He Also Establishes a New
Record.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-No men ever
welcomed more heartily the approach
ing close Of a contest than the dozen
remaining contestants in the inferna-
tional six days bicycle race at Me-
chanics pavilion when tonight they en-
tered the last few hours of this re-
markable test of endurance. Nothing
but the nearness of the finish and the
stimulus of a cheering crowd could
have kept the men at their task. Mil
Ter deserves his victory and his record
probably will stand for years to come.
Ihere was plenty of enthusiasm, too,
When Miller at the end OF the 127th
hour, rode his tWo-thousandth mile in
2.35 S-5, unpaced. At half past o'clock
this morning, Miller was Il hours and
10 minutes ahead of his New
York record. The fight this afternoon
was between Fredericks and Aaronson
for second place. For time it seemed
as If Fredericks would succeed in over
hauling the Swedish rider, but with the
assistance of julius pacing, Aaronson
made game ride throughout the af
ternoon and evening, and about eight
o'clock apparently had second place to
certainty. Gimm went down the line
today, dropping mile after mile to Aar-
onson and Fredericks. Gimm was unable
to overcome his physical weakness
though he tried hard to do So Hale
was in bad shape, mentally, all day. His
physical condition was good, however,
and he kept steadily at work.
Unlike some of the other riders, Mil
Ter seldom made pace, but always kept
close in the rear of the stronger rider,
whom he would follow like a shadow.
By this system, he wore down Gimm,
who was. until the beginning of the
fifth day, believed to be his most for
midable adversary. Miller's ankles gave
him great trouble. His left ankle was
kept tightly bandaged fer the last As
hours of the race. and must have
caused the plucky fellow great agony.
His face looks drawn and furrowed.
but on the whole, he was in fairly
good shape
The score at the end of the 139th hour.
7.54 p. M, was as follows: Miller, PIG
miles laps; Aaronson, 2114.7; Freder-
icks, 2071.5; Gimm, 203S7; Hale, 20131
Nawn, 1851; Alberts, 1921; Barnaby,
177S.6; Pilkington, 1713.5; Lawson,
1925; Ashinger, 1880 julius, 1897.
Miller's former record for the time
was 1890 miles
MILLER seems sure of winning the
race. But it is impossible for New En-
gland papers this morning to give off
clal results or the exact number of
miles covered during the 144 hours.
Eastern time is three hours ahead of
that in San Francisco. The race is to
end at 12.45 o'clock this morning, by
Pacific time, which would be equivalent
to 3.45 o'clock, eastern time.-Edl

EXCITING FIRE.
Several Injured In a Boston
