Fire at tU.F. Miller's.

About half-past ten o'clock last Fri
day night the residence on South Main
street, opposite the park, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. L. F. Miller, was discovered
to be on fire. Members of the fire de-
partment were somewhat slow in res
pOnding to the alarm owing to the fact
that most Of them were asleep, and the
flames had gained considerable headway
before the water was turned on. The
firemen succeeded in saving the house,
but the roof was badly damaged. The
interior of the house was badly damaged
by water. Mr.. MiIler's household goods
were insured for 800 in BinehOwer's
agency. The house, which is the proper.
ty of Mrs. Ives, of New York, was insured
for $40O in the Goodwin agency. Mrs
Miller was prOstrated by the excitement
and the shock, but is said to be much
better today.

CAM AlGN OPENER.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania Speaks
in Wellington.

DeuhNOT VI oPSoAA"
in Wellington.
The formal opening of the Republican
campaign in Wellington occurred last
night under somewhat unauspiciOus cir
cumstances owing to unfavorable cOndi-
tiOn of the weather. Nevertheless, an au-
dience of some 250 or 300persOns gathered
at the Opera House to listen to the digni-
fed and thoughtful address delivered by
Senator PenrOse of Pennsylvania.
The speaker Of the evening was intro
duced by Hon. j. T. Haskell in few
stirring, appropriate remarks.
In his speech of an hour and half,
Senator PenrOse confined himself to the
discussion of national issues. By argu-
ment and few striking illustrations he
showed the direct relation between
Republican administration and good
times. Senator PenrOse denied the
assertion that the Republican party is
responsible for trusts, citing the Stand
ard Oil and Sugar trusts as great COM
binations of capital which are in no wise
fOstered by Republican measures. The
latter part of Senator PenrOse's address
was devoted to the Philippine question.
He followed the familiar line of argu-
ment that this nation is responsible for
the establishment of a staple, liberal
government in those islands, and assert
ed that such government will be given
the FilipinOs as soon as they are ready
for it.
During the afternoon and evening
Senator PenrOse held an informal reCep,
tiOn at Hotel De FOOte.

WHAT a SPECTATOR SAW.
Inquest Held at uxbridee Over Death
OF James o. Copp.

Of James o. Copp.
Uxbridge, Oct. 1O.-The inquest in the
district court room( this afternoon, on
the death Of James o. Copp of Charl-
ton, was strictly Of a private nature,
none but the court officials and the
witnesses being present. Among the
witnesses were Mrs. J. o. Copp, Walter
Follett, the conductor, and G. Jerome
Lakin, the baggagemaster Of the train
(which killed Mr.. Copp, at Uxbridge
depot, on the evening of Sept, a.
A man who was an eye witness, and
perhaps the only man who saw Mr..
ECopp before he was cut in two by the
Inorth-bound passenger, told a Spy man
that the scene was one Of the worst
he ever saw. The train in question had
barely ste7ted from the Uxbridge sta
ton wheL he saw a man COZ ing up TIE
sc, III 5o-iad track.
The eye witness said ~: had the
n IN be 4li dress ID as q tramp, he would
not have given the matter a second
thought. On the contrary, the man was
extremely well dressed, and his atten-
ttion was drawn more particularly to-
ward the man. Later developments
proved that the well-dressed track
walker was James o. Copp, the Charl-
ton manufacturer.
| 1t looked to the eye witness as though
Mr.. Copp had started toward the loco
motive. The next car to the locomo-
tive was what is known as a combina-
! ton baggage and smoker. Mr.. Copp
had apparently been studying the situa
ton before the train started. When
the train began to move. Mr.. Copp
started suddenly toward the engine,
but before the tender of the engine was
reached he stopped short.
| i was Mortified, said he, "for Sec
ond later | saw sight which / shall
never forget. Mr. Copp halted opposite
the side door of the combination car
The train was barely moving and the
man from Charlton acted with appar-
ent elaboration. He assumed a crouch
| ing attitude and just before the rear
trucks of the car reached him, he cast
his body across the rail and an instant
later, trainmen stopped the locomotive,
and his mutilated body was found"
NO said the narrator, Mr. Copp
| did not attempt to board the moving
| train. OF this I am certain
| Spy readers are familiar with the
story of Mr.. Cops strange actions on
the train that fatal Sunday night; how
he alighted from the train at various
stations, seemingly trying to make up
| his mind to do the very thing which
ended his life at the Uxbridge depot 1t
will also be remembered that insurance
policies of recent date were taken out
| by Mr.. Copp and shortly after his
death there was a bit of excitement in
| insurance circles in Worcester The
Outcome of today's inquest will be
watched with interest by numberless
persons in central Massachusetts, who
knew Mr.. Copp as a man of integrity,
possessing a keen sense Of honor which
made him extremely sensitive.
