of Pocket on Their

Hibernian Ball Attended by
Many From County
Towns and Cities.

| +. LarKln mas returned from q trip TO
| Providence, r. l., with bad news for
| investors in the American Investors
company of Providence, and 3S Park
row, New York There once was such
company, but it has long since gone
out of business 1t was attached by
| creditors and went into innocuous de-
suetude
This leaves only the conclusion open
that the tall Frenchman with the large
black mustache, who sold the bonds of
the defunct company to SO many Clin-
ton people, is a person to be avoided
by persons with money to be Invested.
NJ. G. de la Rigaudiere seems to have
done large business in towns outside
of Clinton. If reports can be believed
| he operated extensively in Leominster,
Gardner and possibly in Fitchburg.
Mr. Larkin, it is understood, repre-
sented the interests of a majority of
the bondholders in his trip of investi-
| CATION AT any rate he has returned
With news of little cheer.
Doubtless the police will be requested
| to make an effort to locate NJ G. de la
Rigaudiere.
Thomas Dawson Tate is still waiting
for his certificate of merit, or the re-
| turn of the money he has transmitted
to the board of registration in phar-
macy, to pay for such certificate
1t is understood here that Former
Mayor Rockwell of Fitchburg is in the
same boat with Tate Mr. Rockwell
also opposed the bill of 1897 which was
advocated by the commissioners of
nh a
druggists of the state.
If the certificate does not come to-
morrow, or some notification regarding
the a%Sion the board has taken upon his
application, Mr.. Tate will make a trip
| to Boston and make inquiries on the
spot. Other druggists, who opposed
the bill of 1897, and who are in the same
boat with him, will Join hands.

comic songs, fragrant with the rich
scent of Irish soil. Mr.. Handlin sang

The fender saved the life of a little
girl, this afternoon. About 23O o'clock
little Eunice, 2 1-2 years old, with her
sister Veronica, 4 years old, daughters
of j. O'Donneli started across High
street, below Simard's drug store.
The girls had started to cross the
street as the $50 o'clock car from Leo
minister came along at a good rate of
speed. Veronica ran across the track
ahead of the speeding car, calling to
tiny Eunice to follow Eunice was
frightened and hesitated. Then che
decided to follow her sister. In the
meantime the motorman had perceived
the situation and applied the brake. !
but too late to check the car entirely
He all but closed his eyes as the car
struck the little form. When he looked, |
however, it was to see Eunice safely !
curled upon the fender instead of |
mangled and bleeding under the
wheels. Several hundred people gath !
cred on the spot. Willing arms carried |
the girl to her home, nearby, where
she was carefully examined No in |
juries could be found, except a bump
m hon Of -is
thought she is not seriously injured. |
Nevertheless her parents feel some
alarm because she went to sleep imme-
diately after the accident and was
still sleeping several hours afterward.
There was a conference in Boston to-
day between Bishop Beaver and repre-
sentatives Of the rival boards of trus-
tees. The original board was repre-
scented by Hon. John w. Corcoran. 1t
is hoped by the Catholic people of this
town that the result of the conference
may be a final adjustment of the
squabbles that have been a part of the
effort to establish the new st. Johns
cemetery ever since the scheme was
inaugurated. The result of the con-
ference and its details will probably
not be given out for publication.
DR.. Aug. Cyrus, D. V. S, has located
in Lancaster. He was formerly in
practice as a veterinarian in Worces-
ter, where he enjoyed an excellent
practice Lancaster is noted in Mas
sachlusetts for the number of men who
own or breed fine horses. The Thayers
own stables that are as fine as any to
be found in the country.
