A YOUTHFUL SUICIDE
Webster Boy Found Dead
in a Lonely Spot Be
meath a Tree.

Webster, April 22.-Frank Day, a
farmer, residing on Cemetery street,
made CHASTITY find of a partially de-
composed body late this afternoon,
which proved to be that of stephen
Cinhel, a lad of 16 years.
Day was driving on the old oxford
highway near the poor farm of that
town. when his attention was called to
a queer-looking object beside a stone
wall beneath high tree. A further
investigation showed the object to be
a human body.
Day at once notified Chairman Maui
rice p. Glare of the Webster board Of
selectmen. and the latter drove to the
spot. After an investigation, Chair
man Glare decided the case to be one
of deliberate suicide, and ordered the
body removed at once.
The boy was of Hungarian descent,
and lived with his parents at IA Gene
terry street, East Webster, and was en-
ployed in the cambria mill at that
place.
On March 10 young Cinhel ate his
dinner as usual and started for his
work in the cambria mills as his friends
supposed. Since that time absolutely
nothing has been heard of the young
man. On the day in question three
girls saw young Cinhel, and saluted
him. Cinhel's reply was, Il have got
through work"
Tonight's investigation indicated that
the young fellows act had been care
fully planned, but absolutely no cause
can be attributed for the hanging.
Cinhel had climbed up the tree, dis
lance of 25 feet. He then tied one end
of the rope to a limb of the tree and
the other end to his neck.
Cinhel then jumped from the limb;
the rope sank deep into the flesh of the
neck and then broke. The boy then
fell headlong to the ground striking
head first on a large rock. The force
of the fall crushed in the right side of
the face Whether death was caused
by strangulation or conclusion of the
brain is not known.
Cinhel was of a cheerful disposition
and resided happily with his father
and mother and brother and sister
The spot where the body was found is
a lonely one located about two miles
from the center of Webster.
Mrs Mary Kangley.--a resident of
Quinebaug, was horribly burned dur
ing last night and is now in a serious
condition. The woman had arisen
from bed and was attending to a sick
child. The light she used was tai
low candle In some manner her night
clothes took fire and her body was
quickly enveloped in flames. The fire
was extinguished with considerable diff
ficulty. Mrs Kangley's right side is
burned terribly.

HENRY M. TEEHAN DEAD
Well Known Young News
paper Reporter Dies Of
Pneumonia.

Henry M. Teehan, a well known
young newspaper reporter, died at his
mothers home, % Columbia street, yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock, after a
protracted illness from pneumonia. He
was taken sick about six weeks ago,
being laid up with a bad cold which
he contracted at the last big snow storm
in discharge of his duties as a reporter
Being ordered by DR.. T. ]. Foley, who
was attending him, to take a change of
air, he went to the Prospect House in
Rutland, where he was taken with a
severe change, and his cold developed
into pneumonia, which brought on his
end.
His first work after leaving the high
school where he spent three years af-
ter graduating from the grammar
schools, was to accept a position on the
Evening Post. Later he went to the
Telegram, where he stayed about a
year, and left to accept a similar posi-
ton on The Spy. While engaged on The
Spy he was popular with his fellow
workmen, and by his Conscientious work
won not only the esteem of his brother
reporters but the confidence of mis- sln-
ployer.
His popularity amonA his friends,
newspaper friends, was shown during
his sickness, when hardly a day passeA
that some of them did not call and in
quire for his condition. For a time it
was hoped that he would recover, as
he showed signs of remarkable grit and
energy, but the ravages of pneumonia

HAS HIS TROUBLES.
Principal AbercrombIe Prefers Charges
Against the Lincoln House.

Landlord F. w. Trowbridge of the
Lincoln house has his troubles. The
first hitch was with the cafe, and now
complaint, preferred by Principal D.
w. Abercrombie Of the Worcester
Academy, that minor scholars in his
school have purchased liquor at the
Lincoln house, is now pending.
The license commissioners gave a
hearing on the case in the Office of
James Early, Friday night, and after
listening to both sides of the story, re-
served their decision until Monday.
Principal Abercrombie said that, stu
dents had been expelled from the acad-
envy on account of coming down street
and purchasing liquor, and one of their
number confessed to having purchased
drinks at the Lincoln house. A number
of others had bought liquor in guam
titles down street and taken it to their
rooms, but Principal Abercrombie could
not say that this was purchased at the
Lincoln house. He stated, however, in
justice to Mr.. Trowbridge, that he knew
of two cases when liquor had been re-
fused minors from his school,
Frank B. Hall appeared for Mr..
Trowbridge and offered in defense that
it is hard work to determine whether
young man is OF age or not. When
questioned by bartender, many young
fellows will say they are Of age and
may look to be over q, when in reality
they are not. Mr. Trowbridge said his
bartenders are instructed explicitly not
to sell to minors, and that If Mr.. Aber-
crombie would get any of his students
to come to the hotel and point out the
man who had sold them drinks, he
would discharge him at once. The cafe
which formed the subject of a previous
objection is to be closed and according
to the present intention, turned into a
drummers' sample room.

KNoWLToN TALKS.

New Bedford, April 22.-In an inter
view tonight, Mr.. Knowlton said that
he had declared himself a candidate for
governor after considerable delibera-
ton and only after being assured that
there was strong sentiment in the
party favoring his candidacy.
The matter of selecting a campaign
committee was left to a future date, but
one will undoubtedly be appointed.
Mr.. Knowlton refused to talk further
regarding his position, believing that
the brief statement was sufficient.
Since his return from the south he has
felt much improved in health fact
that is very gratifying to his friends.

TWO LONG SPINS.
High School Crew Do Great Things at
the Lake.

Two long spins on the water yester-
day worked great things for the high
school crew. The crew has not lost
all hope of getting in the two men who
failed to reach the proper standard in
their studies. One of the oarsmen
failed in one study only and his fail
ure was such an easy one that he can
make up the mark with a little work.
He has already set about doing it and
both teachers and his associates ex-
pect to see him square in his account
so that he can take his place in the
shell tomorrow.
The other oarsman who fell behind is
not so fortunate in his standing, but
his case is not hopeless by any means
and he can easily get within the good
graces of the teachers If he settles
down to work.
Coach Ten Eyck took the stroke oar
himself yesterday and sent Capt Daily
out in a pleasure boat to watch the
men for a double purpose. He desired to
have DAILY see the faults of the men and
also discover how he could correct them
from his position in the stern of the
boat The crew which first left the
float was made up as follows: Weyer, l.;
Carroll, 2; Hagberg, 8; Harvey, 4; Cos
grove, 5; Perry, 6; Johnson, Z, and Ten
Eyck stroke, After a row of three miles
the crew was shaken uD as follows:
Wheaton, /; Carroll, 2; Ten Eyck, g.;
Harvey, 4; Hagberg, s; Perry, 6; john
son, T. and Daily stroke.
The work of the boys yesterday was
exceptionally good Ten Eyck praised
them unstintedly after they had fin
ished. Cosgrove is showing UP best of
the new men. He is not only rowing
well in the bow where he was first
placed, but the last few days has done
so well with No. oar that he will
doubtless remain in that position. He
is lighter than some of the other can
didates, but shows good strength, and
his blade work and general waterman
ship is exceptionally good for new
man in the shell.
Harvey is another of the youngsters
who is doing commendable work. Dur
ing the first few rows, il -Eas feared by
some of his friends that he would be
out of the race altogether on account
of his weight. He is considerably
lighter than some of the other men, But
he is showing up strongly as a clean
oarsman and may displaee some of the
men who have more beef to recon-
mend them.
Hagberg is working hard and i'm
proving. He is a sturdy fellow, with
plenty of beef, and his fault Of short
sliding and an awkward finish are fast
disappearing.
The boys begin a new regime tomor-
row. They win row at o'clock in
the morning and again in the after
noon The crew will be chosen tomor-
row or the next day. and the men Sc
ilected will be the ones to row against
Harvard. unless some Unforeseen con-
| tingency arises. The candidates who
/ do not get regular seats will be kept
rowing, however. in order to provide
| against accidents.

MPLlNe ENTERS SUIT.
Purpose of His American Trip Was to
Fight Publishers.

New York, April 22.-Rudyard Kip

Putnams Sons, D. Appleton Sons &
Co, Doubleday & Mcclure, Charles
Scribner's Sons and the Century Pub
fishing Company, for $4,000 damages.
for alleged arrangements on trade
marks and copyrights.
The complaint sets forth that the
plaintiff has no personal claim against
the last four named publishers, but
made them party defendants because
he had agreements with them concern
ing copyrights. The action is brought
primarily against G. P. Putaarn's
Sons-George David Putnam and
Irving Putnam.

they attack us almost every night, but
we always send them back, sometimes
minus half their number. So you see it
is a continuous fight here in the city
and outside in the trenches.
But the Eighth army corps is equal

nobly and are every bit as good as the
regulars, only we have got the best of

NO NEWS OF GILMORE.
Admiral Dewey still Neglects to Make
Known His Plans for Rescue.

Washington, April Pho word has
come to the navy department since last
Tuesday relative to the fate of Lieut..
Gilmore and the Il sailors of the
Yorktown who were ambushed and
captured at Baler, on the Island Of
Luzon. Today Secretary Long ad-
dressed an inquiry by cable to Admiral
Dewey to ascertain whether he could
supply any further information on this
point The secretary says he has no
doubt the admiral is doing his best to
succor the men, and it is suggested
that he has refrained from making
public his plans to prevent the insur-
gents from taking advantage of the
information to conceal their captives.
The arrival of the Yorktown at
Manila has not yet been reported to
the navy department, and it is not
known whether or not she sailed from
Iloilo. whence she reported by cable
the bad news to Admiral Dewey or
whether Commander Sperry put back
from Iloilo for Baler. after having Sc
cured reinforcements or additional
boats.

freight on board her now, but will not
get away until the Scandal is ready to

Landscape Attractions

The oahu Railway Company has is
sued a new folder containing a map of
Oahu, showing the road extended to

linghams description of the scenic
beauties through which his road runs:
Leaving Honolulu and passing
through rice fields, the traveller skirts
the great inland waters of Pearl Har-
Dor In sight of charming distant noun
tain views, often spanned by many rain
bows. The mountains further on
crowd the railroad close to the ocean.
Here and there deep valleys, guarded
by high mountain sides almost perpen-
dicular, give sun and clouds an oppor-
tunity to display wonderful combina-
tons of light and shadow on the va
ried greens and browns of the land
scape.
Along the line are situated the most
productive sugar plantations i'm the
world, each representing an investment
of millions of dollars, so vast are the
agricultural operations, their pumping
plants equalling those of the greatest
cities, and mills producing hundreds
of tons of sugar daily.
The north of the Island, refreshed by
the northeast trade winds, enjoys a
cool and invigoratng climate.
