BOWLING WARMING UP
Teams Are Organizing and
Several Games Are on
the Schedule.

The bowling season is getting on The
alleys are never vacant now, and when a
match is rolled spectators throng the
rooms, taking up every inch of available
space.
Probably the most interesting event to
the regular bowlers is the finish of the
candlepin match between A. Fred White
and W. H. Orr, which takes place at the
Casino alleys tomorrow evening. They
have bowled ten strings of the match, and
will conclude by bowling ten strings to-
morrow evening. The first ten strings
were bowled at Monsey's alleys Monday
evening. White, who does his practice
work on those alleys, got $50 and won by
SO pins. Orr does his practice at the Ca
sino alleys, where he is employed. The
debatable question in the minds of can
dlepin bowlers is whether Orr can gain
back those SO. That he can trim White on
the Casino alleys is generally acknowl-
edged.
He ought to win despite the lead. He
and White have rolled several strings In
friendly rivalry on the Casino alleys dur
100. If he rolls that way Monday evening
he will get back the 50 and have COM

among candlepin bowlers who frequent
Monseys alleys. The men are Monsey,
Plummer, Hill, Guthrie and Lohnes. They
will call themselves the Worcester can
dlepin team. The Casinos authorized The
Spy to challenge the team to series of
matches. The Casinos have recently
strengthened their team. Only one game
was rolled in the candlepin tournament
in progress at Smiths alleys on Green
street last week. The Vernons lost to the
Blaisdells. The Vernons did not roll up
to their average. The Kiskos have a bet
ter chance to pull out than they had last
week. The standing of the teams is as

Ter is an convict, and he is well
known to the people of Lynn, Mass,
where he formerly resided. He was
arrested there on Sept. 20, 1896, on the
charge of forgery, it being claimed that
he obtained possession of a large sum
of money from friend. He was con-
victed and sentenced to the Concord re-
formatory.
Miller's photograph adorns the
rogues gallery at police headquarters
in Lynn, and is No. 37S. Where he
originally came from, the authorities
there don't know, but he was in that
vicinity for several years. He never
resorted to actual labor for livelihood
while in Lynn. The police of Lynn
are on the watch for him, as it is
thought he may have acquaintance
there to whom he may appeal for ref
uge.

FREE MASONRY IN THE TRANS
VAAII

A few days ago the London Chronicle
printed this story of Free Masonry on
Majuba hill: "A slightly wounded com
mlssarlat officer was being covered by
the rifle of Boer sharpshooter, when
the former made a Masonic sign. The
Boer lowered his rifle and. stepping
over to the other, made him a prisoner,
put treated him in especially hospitabe
fashlon as brother member of the
cfatt. The commissariat man ascer-r
tanned that Mr.. Kruger and Gen. Jou-
pert were also Free Masons" In cons
necton with this an "old Mason
writes: The story is not a solitary
instance. Many similar touching inn
cldents occurred during the Franco
German war. Not only are President
Kruger and Pet Joubert enthusiastic
free Masons, but practically every
EDUCATED Boer belongs to the order,
Most of the British officers also belong

FIREMEN.
Continued from Page one.)

Up to this hour he noticed no evidence
of fire. He says the furnace is remov-
ed several feet from any combustible
material in the cellar, and that the
ashes are kept in a metal can, which
was emptied two days ago. A kerosene
lamp was used at times in the base
ment, but is never left burning.
Mr.. Pearson says he always looks
over the premises before leaving for
the night and inquired of his clerk if
everything was right before closing
last night. He went to the head of the
cellar stairs himself and looked down
to make doubly sure. In company with
his wife he took the 1920 o'clock car
for his home rs Birch street and was
not aware of the fire until informed of
the fact by newspaper man.
The loss on the building is estimated
at from $1,000 to $500, insured for $500O

Torpedoes Caused Explosion. One Of Adj

New York, Nov. 25.-The World to-

Gals after months of secret investiga-

ship Maine was blown up by gun cot
ton torpedoes, planted in the bay for
the purpose. The gun cotton, seven
hundred pounds of which was used, was
sent from Barcelona to Admiral Man

taken away with the knowledge of the

ordinates who had the direct control
of the explosives, and in that way the
identity of the authors and executors
of the plot to destroy the Maine may
be discovered
Two or three men were engaged in
the destruction of the Maine. A steam
launch of Spanish make, and now used
by the. United States government in
Havana harbor conveyed torpedoes to
a point within a few feet of the berth
of the Maine and lowered them. The
torpedoes were kept in position by
means of buoys f1oated eleven feet I'M
der water and ten feet above the an
chOrs, to prevent them from being
swept away. The torpedoes were ex-
ploded by contact with the keel of the
Maine as she swung at anchor.

KILLED HIS FOX.
c. A. Peterson Has an Exciting Hunt
in Boylston.

C. A. Peterson of the Worcester Fur
Company had an exciting fox hunt in
Boylston yesterday, the result of which
is that Mr., Peterson has two pelts to
his credit instead of one, as when he
left the city. He took his fox hound
Rover out and put him in at the foot
of a hill between Boylston and Oak
dale early in the morning Rover picked
up a scent Immediately and followed it
closely. The run didn't last more than
45 minutes, when the hound drove a
handsome fox in front of Mr.. Peterson,
who. watched runway near the foot
OF the hill. He killed it with the first
barrel.
His dog started one the day previous
near Waushacum lake, which was
killed by man named Barrett, who
was hunting, the dog driving the fox
within gunshot.
