ANNUAL ROLL-CALL.
Park Church Members Rally to Tell Of
the Years Success.

Park Church Members Rally to Tell Of
the Years Success.
The Park Congregational church held
its annual roll call and supper at the
church vestry last night. The roll was
called by the pastor, Rev. Inman L.
Wilcox, and 81 members answered with
remarks and quotations. and letters
were read from several unable to be
present on account of Illness.
Addresses were made by Mrs. /. L.
Wilcox, wife of the pastor who spoke
at length upon the amount of money
which had been raised during the past
year to be applied on the church debt,
over $4,000 having been pledged through
her personal efforts. Mrs. Wilcox was
followed by Deacon Ezra Sawyer, Mrs.
Sawyer, G. M. Smith, Asa l.. Kneeland
and Deacon S. y. Fisher.
The closing remarks were made by
Rev. Mr.. Wilcox, who spoke very fit
tingly as to the growth and prosperity
of Park church. During the past year
four had been taken away by death,
four had changed by card to other
churches, and eighteen had been taken
into the church. The membership now
numbers 231.
An excellent supper was served by
the committee consisting of the four
deaconesses OF the church, Mrs. Lucy
A. Richardson, Mrs. Mary j Kendall,
Miss Laura A. Giddings and Mrs. Fred
II. Whitcomb

The entire assemblage again repaired
to the gymnasium to witness the sec
ond half of the basket ball game, which
proved even more interesting than the
previous half. Every point of the game
was stubbornly fought and finally re-
suited in another victory for the Stars
by score of to 2, making the score
for the game Is to g. This game was
one of the games regularly scheduled
in the series, and was to decide the SUI
premacy Of the teams in the league.
The result showed that the Knicker-
bockers will have no show now Of win
ming out in the contest, and the Stars
seem to be Rll fortified in first place.
During the second half of the game,
the American orchestra, w. M. Price,
leader, gave concert program in the
gentlemen's parlor, and the graphic
phone served to attract large number
and it was not until nearly II o'clock
that the gathering broke up and left
declaring the reception the best ever
given by the association, eclipsing even
that of New Years.
The object of the reception was to
Introduce the advantages of the assoc
citation to a large number of young
men who are not members of the as
ISOLATION. To aid in getting out this
large audience 5000 invitations were
personally distributed in the shops of
the city with the gratifying results
shown by the overflow attendance. The
signal success OF the affair is due ex-
clusively to the energetic work of
Chairman w. K. Stanley and to his
assistants on the committee-Ernest r.

ONE OF THE HEAVY LOSERS.
He Expects TO ReceHs what is Due Him
Within Year.

A gentleman who is supposed to be
most deeply interested in the suspen-
sion in financial way, was seen at his
residence by a representative of The
Spy, last evening, and while somewhat
reticent about conversing about the
SUSPENSION, admitted that he had been
caught but would not state the sum.
He has been interested in the stock
market for about year and half,
and has followed the course of events
during the past few months with a
great deal of interest. He did not know
just the reason for the suspension, but
thought that 1t must be from either one
of two causes. He said that it was the
practice among sorne brokers to deal
personally in stocks and that at times
they are caught" in the same manner
as the their patrons. Again the recent
advance in tobacco and the attendant
heavy healings may have had some
thing to do with the matter.
He thought that it might be that Mr.
Aborn was carrying along some patrons
who had not the ready cash. and was
keeping them in the running, so to
speak, expecting that when winning
was made he would be able to recoup
himself. Either one of these things
might have caused him to suspend op-
erations, lacking capital with which to
do business. The fact remained that he
had not the collateral with which to pay
his customers. He thought that the less
said about the matter the better for all
concerned.
An Q agreement had been made between
Mr.. Aborn and his patrons whereby he
was not to be pressed and they were to
be reimbursed within a year. This
agreement, he said, was perfectly salts
factory to all parties, and he thought
that Mr.. Aborn would be able to live
up to the agreement.
| Questioned in regard to the amount
he had lost by the suspension, he said
that he was not prepared to name the
| figure.
1t was suggested to him that rumor
had it THAT he was the heaviest loser,
but this he ridiculed He thought that
there would be a large number of small
/ losers who would feel the loss much
more than he would, although he was
not prepared to meet the turn in affairs
at the present time without feeling il.
Mr.. Aborn, said he, has been doing an
enormous business and should have
made large sum Of money His daily
average profit for the past year must
have been upwards of a hundred dollars
day. and II this had been "saated
down. there would have been a surplus
from which to draw in just such emer-
gencies as this. He was confident. how
ever, that the affairs of Mr. Aborn
would be amicably adjusted, and that
the business would continue as before,
and that within the year Mr.. Aborn
would have liquidated all his indebted
ness.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-02-25

agreement for one years extension, and
that Mr.. Aborns Office would be open
for business this morning.
A prominent man on the street sald:
1T has been generally believed that
Ab0rn made a lot of money at the time
of the wire trust consolidation. he IS
sa to have bought up lot OF the
Washburn- Moen stock for something
like 14S. and to have sold it to the
American Wire and Steel Company for
1885, and he had enough of it to make
quite bundle of money"
Mr.. Aborn is one of the best known
brokers in Worcester. He came here
from Providence in 1890, and opened
gram commission house on Front
street. He prospered from the start.
Soon after, when the First National
Bank moved out of its old quarters,
he took the rooms vacated by that con-
Germ for his new office He then added
a stock business to the grain commits
sion business. He has been there ever
since, and his has been recognized as
one of the strongest houses in town.

Mr.. KINGS STATEMENT,
Aborn Tried TO Carry His Friends and
Found the Load Too Heayv,

Henry w. King, Mr.. Aborn's legal
adviser, gave out the following state
ment to a Spy reporter:
mo, there has not been any assign
ment," he said. "But an extension of
one year has been asked Of the cred
tiers. AT the end of that time Mr..
Aborn will pay 100 cents on a dollar.
An ordinary broker would have gone
into bankruptcy and come up smiling
and prosperous in few weeks That
Mr.. Aborn has done nothing Of the kind
speaks we'll for his honesty
one thing l wish to say most en-
phatically. Mr.. Aborn mas not bought
or sold share of stock Oh his own
account. He has not lost a dollar in
self-speculation.
The history of the case is this. Dur
ing the panic caused by President
CleYelands Venezuelan message a
number of Mr.. Aborn's customers were
carrying large quantities of stock.
Prices fell so low that they could no
longer hold them. Then MI. Aborn
said, l have the money in the bank,
/ have securities, l will back you. SO
he did, and the result was most sue
cessful. By backing mis- customers Mr..
Aborn saved 100000 of Worcester
money that would otherwise have been
lost, and reaped great profits both for
himself and friends.
During the recent activity in the
market, something similar was attemp-
ted. MIR. Aborn backed several custo-
merS who were short on stock. But the
rise was too great. Margins and stock
were both lost That is the sum and
substance of Mr.. Aborn's difficulties"
WAS Tobacco the stock on which
Mr. Aborn lost?" was asked.
well, Tobacco is the stock that nat
urally comes to the mind" replied Mr..
King.
The embarrassment came like a thun-
derclap, Mr.. King says. Seeing that
he was in deep water, Aborn made d
flying run to New York Thursday
where he found Mr.. King at hotel.
Their first step was to call upon the
firm of Haight & Freese, who agreed
to stand sponsors for Mr.. Aborn. and
lend him their support. Then both re-
turned to Worcester.
When told that some of the credi-
tors were indignant ana disapproved OF
the arrangement, Mr.. King seemed as
tonished.
That's news to me-" he said. i've
been talking to them all day and 1
have yet to see mad man"
Mr.. King says the liabilities are not
yet figured up, but ne ventured an es-
innate that $4,000 was near the mark.
No attachments have been made on Of
fee furniture or are likely to be. Mr..
King refused to give The names of the
creditors.
"'rhere is not one single thing in the
whole affair that reflects on Mr..
Aborn," said Mr. King. His errors are
those of heart rather than head. He
has been too friendly to his friends.
All business orders viii continue 10 be
received and filled as heretofore"

THEY WILL DO 1T.
People Persist in Sending Money in let
tiers, and They Lose.


tiers, and They Lose.
An instance of the carelessness of the
public in general in the use of the mails
was brought to the attention of Post
master Greene yesterday. Some time
since. letter was mailed in this city
intended for a party in Brooklyn, N.
Y. containing $45 in bills, two twenty
dollar bills and a five-dollar note. AT
ter waiting reasonable time for the
delivery of the letter and not hearing
anything from 1t, the party in Brook
lyn wrote the correspondent here, in
quiring whether the money had been
sent. The sender at once notified the
postmaster and search was made for
the missing letter, but it was never
found. The only explanation Is that
offered by Postmaster Francis II. Will
son, at the Brooklyn office. 1t APP
pears that some time ago an employee
of that office was arrested and convict
ed for larceny of money from the mails
and it seems probable that the missing
letter was part of his plumber.
This instance Of carelessness serves
to point moral to those who viii per-
sist in sending money in letters with
out resorting to registration. There
are now three methods of sending mon.
ey in the mail which insure some de.
gree of safety. W These are by the use
of the special delivery letter, the reg.
istered letter and by the money order
system.
During his service of eight years al
the local office, Postmaster Greene has
had but two cases where the money
on money orders has been paid to the
wrong parties, and in one of these cases
the money was later recovered. In the
other case, the loss was borne by the
postmaster, but was for but a trifllne
amount. Great care is exercised ii
the payment Of these orders, and in
many cases it is necessary for parties
in order to obtain the money on them
to be identified where the party is I'M
known to the postmaster or the money
order clerk. 1t speaks well for the
care exercised by Postmaster Greene
that so few cases of loss have occurred
In so long a period of service.
