lost sight of the fact that Mr.. Rice had
established himself as being comedian
of ability even before he had proven his
labial deXterity. That the entertainer is
really clever man there can be no doubt
and now that his former feat has been
lost in his vaudeville success people feel
that they have a right to expect much of
him. These expectations will undoubtedly
be realized when he appears with Sallie
Cohen next week at the Grand.

GREEK SERVICE: FIRST.
Prince Cantacuzene and
Julia Grant Will Have
Two Ceremonies.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 16.-It was an
nounced tonight that the plans for the
Cantacuzene-Grant wedding have been
changed. 1t was intended that the
Episcopal service should take place in
All Saints chapel, on Monday, Sept. rs,
followed by the Greek ceremony, in pri-
vate, at Mrs. Palmer's villa, Beaulieu.
The prince is a Greek Catholic, and the
marriage laws of his church, which are
very strict, do not recognize the vail
dity of the marriage of Russian per-
formed by clergyman outside that
faith.
The head of the Russian church in the
United States informed the prince that
the Russian ceremony must take place
first or not at all, and that a refusal to
comply would place the prince in bad
cause his public discipline, or injure his
standing in the army, where all officers
are supposed to live up to the laws of
the Greek church.
The advice of the Greek bishop was
assented to by the prince, which COM
PEELED change in the plans. The Greek
ceremony must come first, therefore
in private, Sunday evening, Sept. "a.
the prince and Miss Julia Dent Grant,
daughter of Brighten. Fred Grant, now
in the Philippines, will be married by
Rev. FIR. Hotovitzky of New York, as
sisted by two other Russian clergymen
of that city. Honore Palmer, cousin of
the bride, and son of Mr.. and Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer, will act as best man, as
proxy for Grand Duke Cyril.

John Conlon, Unable
to Move, Is Struck
BY a Train.
FOOT TIGHTLY HELD IN A FROG.
The Engineer Could Not
See the Struggling
Man.

John Conlon, laborer, living at 70
Market street, was killed last night
about $50 o'clock, by being struck by
the Winchendon train on the Fitchburg
road due in the Union station at $50
o'clock. ConIons end was frightful in
the extreme, for his foot, which was
caught in a frog, held him to the spot,
and he had to remain there for fully
half a minute, watching the train bear
| ing down on him at full speed. When
the body was picked up later, by Am
bulance Surgeon Francis Shaw and Off
GER Thomas Hurley, it was mangled
almost beyond recognition, the train
doing its work in terrible manner.
The only eye witness of the accident
was William Dawson, a 17-year- old
boy, living at 6 Chandler street, and
| from his story of the affair, it appears
| that Conlon was standing on the track
just above Market street, with his foot
caught in frog on the track. He tried
to pull it out, but was unable to do so,
and be had been there but short time
when the inbound passenger train was
! heard coming around the curve from
| Lincoln square.
! AS the engine rounded the curve on
the same track, Conlon saw it, and his
| struggles to free himself from a ter
rible death were those of a man who
realized his fate. Young Dawson was
! glued to the spot, and the frantic calls
of the man for help We're of no avail.
| The spot where the accident hap
pened is dark, and it was impossible
for the engineer of the incoming train
to see the man until his engine drew
near enough for the headlight to show
up the track, and then it was too late
| for him to stop the iron monster. Con-
| Ions calls for help were drowned by
| the noise of the train, and although the
engineer got a glimpse of him, he could
not stop the train, and it struck Conlon,
completely severing the leg which was
stuck in the frog and also tearing off
| both arms.
There were several bad bruises on
the head and his body was also badly
cut UP.
Sergt. Walter N Drohan was on the
| scene shortly after the accident hap
pened, and the police ambulance was
called. Officer Barrett was also there,
and. with Ambulance Surgeon Shaw
and officer Thomas Hurley, the
mangled remains were picked up and
taken to Athy's undertaking rooms, Is
Green street where they were viewed
by Medical Examiner F. H. Baker.
He leaves. besides his wife, two sons,
Michael and James, who are at present
in the Philippines, in the United States
army, and two daughters. He lived
with sister, Mrs. Kate Tallboy, at 70
Market street, but during the summer
has been camping out at Lake Quin-
sigamond. He was about 50 years old

SAYS HE WILL PLAY HERE
Pittsburs Will Not Give Riokert the
Salary He Wants.

Joe Rickert says he will wear a Wor-
cester uniform next season. Rickert
came to Worcester last evening and in
tends to begin work tomorrow behind
the bar for T. H Sullivan. Rickert has
been with the Pittsburgs since he left
Worcester, a week ago, but he has not
come to terms with the leaguers, and
says there are no chances that he will.
He refused to sign at the terms which
were offered him by Manager Donovan
of the Pirates, and unless he can come
to an agreement with them, he can play
with any other team that he desires,
remaining the property of Pittsburg,
however.
Rickert has received an excellent Of
fer from Rochester, as was told in The
Spy at the time the offer was made, but
it is no better than he will get from
Worcester, and he would prefer to pay
in this city. He says when he Joined
the Pittsburgs, in New York, he had a
conference Immediately with Manager
Donovan relative to signing for next
year. The Pttsburg manager asked
him what salary he was receiving in
Worcester, and Rickert replied that he
did not feel at liberty to tell. The
lHdudStI VI liS lLlSpuI6S tlSIl maui
him an offer, which wasn't up to what
he had received in this city and wasn't
anything like what Manager Bucken-
berger of the Rochesters had offered
him. Rickert promptly refused the Of
fer and named his price. Manager
Donovan telegraphed President Kerr of
the Pittsburgs the amount that Rickert
would play for, receiving in reply the
information that Pittsburg would not
pay quite that amount. Rickert said
it would be that sum or he would not
play, and there the matter stands.
After the game in Boston yesterday
Rickert said he sought out Manager
Donovan and informed the latter he
was about to leave for Worcester. He
said he would not play with Pittsburg
unless he got the figures he had named
Manager Donovan said the president
of the team had refused those figures
and that settled the business for Rick
ert. He came here in the early eve
ming and had SaIk with Mr.. Sullivan.
and he will begin duties in the latter's
saloon tomorrow.

DECLARES HIM A RINGER.
Victor Roberts Says Fred B. is the

Victor Roberts Says Fred B. is the
Horse Formerly Known as Doc Sperry.
Victor Roberts of this city insists
that the horse that won third money
in the 2:27 class at the Clinton fair
Thursday is Doc sperry, noted ringer.
Roberts ought to know if anybody
does. For driving Doc Sperry under
the name of Robert Boy and ringing
him in several races, Roberts is now
under suspension by the National
Trotting Association. He saw the
horse in Clinton and at once picked
him as a ringer, which caused his sus-
pension. He informed the owner to
that effect, but the latter insisted that
Roberts was mistaken.
Roberts took A. b. Brunell to Clinton
with him Friday morning to see the
horse, as Mr.. Brunell knew him we'll
But the animal could not be found on
the grounds. The horse is now racing
under the name of Fred B. He is

ways wore the straps when in race
On account Of their absence some
thought it could not be the same horse,
but Mr.. Roberts is positive that Fred
B. is none other than the ringer he
drove under the name of Robert Boy.

AN ACT OF HERoIsM.
Frank Kelley Stops a Runaway Pony
at the Risk of His Life.

There are heroes other than those
that risk life and die on the battlefield.
Frank Kelley, with J. A. Wilkinson,
4S4 Main street, is entitled to the dis
tinction of heroism, because of an act
he performed yesterday afternoon.
Miss Bertels, daughter of B. Joseph
Bertels, was in a box phaeton in front
of the Park Theatre, when the pony
suddenly took fright and started off
at a tangent. Miss Bertels screamed,
and pedestrians dashed to either side
to allow the maddened animal to pass.
1t looked as though Miss Bertels would
be thrown to the street and sustain
serious injuries, when Mr.. Kelley
dashed forward, watched his opportun-
ity, and seized the pony by the head.
The infatuated animal did not stop
in his mad course, but dragged Mr.
Kelley across the street, while women
screamed and men turned pale, expect
ing every minute that he would be
trampled to death. There was a coach
in front Of The Spy office at the time
and Mr.. Kelley was wedged in between
this and the phaeton Others came to
his aid here and the horse was brought
to standstill. Miss Bertels promptly
jumped out upon the sidewalk with an
exclamation of thankfulness for her
rescue.
From the time that Mr.. Kelley seized
the ponys head until the animal was
finally brought to standstill he de-
scribed in his course complete semi
circle. This it was that brought him
against the coach Unencumbered by
the weight Of Mr.. Kelley's body, he
would have had a clear road for the SUI
burbs and Miss Bertels could not have
escaped injury.
Mr.. Kelley was brought into Will5in-
SONS and cared for. Later he was
sent to his home. His first words on
being revived were, rs she safer"

cheers and calls, he took the platform,
and spoke in part as folloWs:-
Il express my complete concurrence
in much that Mr.. Bryan has said. II
there be a monopoly that Expresses, l
believe that there is no constitutional
limits, there is no power on earth
against the people redressing a wrong
when it becomes a wron.
THE question to which l think the
attention of this conference should be
devoted is whether this one monopoly
exists and where it is. Now who is
hurt and where? Where has this octG-
pus got possession of somebody? On
whom is it acting? Are we doing pretty
well? Well, some representatives of
labor have been telling us that wages
are higher today than they have ever
been before.
If you want competition, must not
somebody succeed in it? Will you sup
press the man because he excels an
other so far that he constitutes a mon
opoly?"
A voice: I'VE object to the rules being
used for the benefit of one set of fell
lows to the detriment of another. That
is monopoly"
I agree with you there. 1 would in
woke the power of the government. An
industrial product which excels all otn-
ers becomes monopoly while that ex-
cellency lasts"
L venture to take Mr. Bryan him
self as an illustration of the freedom
of competition. If you are going to
destroy the freedom of competition and
the eXcellency which it deVelopes and
the dominion of that excellency, why
not do it in intellect?
we seem to have drifted into an at
mosphere of bigness concerning what
is called the evil of nonopolism Now
there has not been an evil attributed
to monopoly here, against which, if it
existed, l would not be enlisted under
the banner of those who seek to sup
press it. If you point out to me, as
Mr.. Bryan did this morning, the fact
that we have not seen the evils of this
monopoly yet, why then, 1 say, you
simply are creating faiciful picture.
believe that the change which has
come over this world within the last
ten years is the great phenomena of
civilization God is guiding his people
forward 1t is a disappointment to me
that this conference has wasted so
much time over fanciful conditions and
has left without attending the great
est peril with which civilized man must
deal-the relation between employers
and employees.
THE junction of union in labor is to
promote relationship and quicker dis
| tribution. 1t is not a utopian dream
that before another conference of this
character assemblies, the largest en-
ployers of labor will insist upon their
employees joining unions and choosing
representatives in them, realizing that
joint industry is necessary for the we'll
doing of both.
Great cheering greeted the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Cockran's speech. Gen
