beginning of the long and hard cam
paign that ended at the surrender of
Santiago, he was adjutant of Major
Harry B. Fairbanks battalion. During
the campaign, Capt. C. S. Holden was
invaded home, and a short time later
Lieut. e. B. Fish was sent to the reg
low fever suspect. The command of the
company then went to Lieut.. Gray and
he fulfilled the charge with marked
credit and with a show of ability which
won the esteem of every man under his
command.
The arduous duties of his position
were followed with a conscientiousness
that told on his strength, and on the
return of the regiment to this country,
on arrival at Montauk Point, Lieut.
Gray was Immediately sent to the hos

Of death. The battle was a hard one,
but the popular lieutenant was a Win

Lieut.. Gray is thorough soldier and
has come from the ranks through every
step of advancement and promotion to
his present honor. He is one of the
finest marksmen in the Second regi-
ment, and in the regimental shoot in
1896 represented his regiment, being one
of the high men. He Is extremely popu-

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
German Baker Killed
His Brother and
Wife.
FINISHED UP WITH HIMSELF.
Intended to Kill Two Chill
dren But Was Prevent
ed by Pursuers.
FINISHED UP WITH HIMSELF

New Milford, Conn, Aug. 24.-Karl
Trenkaus and his wife, while at work
in their bake shop in the Mygatt block,
corner of Railroad and Bank streets
about 1890 o'clock tonight, were shot
by Trenkaus' brother Edward.
Mrs. Trenkaus was killed instantly.
The husband received one bullet in
the breast and two lodged in the right
arm. He is thought to be in dying
condition.
After the shooting the murderer fled
from the shop but the baker was able
to reach the street and give the alarm.
Dennis Cronin, brakeman, saw the
fleeing murderer and started in pursuit
and ne was soon Joined by Night
Waterman Neary. They had almost
overtaken the man on Bridge street,
about 100 yards from the shop, when he
turned about and sent a bullet through
his own temple, falling dead in his
tracks.
The affair occasioned great excite
ment, and Medical Examiner King was
soon on the scene. From the ante-mor-
tenn statement of the injured brother, it
is inferred that the brothers had &
quarrel. Edward wanted some money
to go to New York, and Karl refused it
and the shooting followed. Mrs. Tren-
klaus was shot in the neck and the
jugular vein was severed.
AS the murderer fled from the shop
he was heard to exclAim: Now l will
go and kill the children and he start
ed for the Trenkaus home on South
Main street, where the two children
were.
The proprietor of the bake shop is
about 40 years of age and the murderer
was about 80 years old. Little is known
about him, only that he came to New
Milford from New York three weeks
ago. He stayed a week and then came
back six days ago, and it is believed
he was engaged by the brother to work
in the shop.
He, however, spent considerable time
riding with Joseph Clike, who drove
the bread wagon, and it is said that
bis attentions to young ladies and his
attempts at flirtations, as well as his
unwillingness to work, caused the
brother much annoyance and quarrels
have resulted.
A sister of Mrs. Trenkaus lived with
them, but she is unable to understand
English and could throw no light on
the tragedy.
The remains of Mrs. Trenkaus and
the murderer were taken to a local I'M
dertaking room, while the wounded
man was carried to his home. The re-
volver with which the shooting was
done was a So calibre.

A ROYAL WELCOME.
Transport Sherman Arrives With SOL
diers From Manila.


diers From Manila.
San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The trans
port Sherman arrived today from Ma
Mia with the First California volun-
teers and Batteries A and D of the
California heavy artillery. Every pier
and Telegraph hill were crowded with
spectators. From every quarter of the
bay crowded yachts, launches and tugs
and craft of all descriptions made their
way toward the Sherman.
AS the Sherman approached the
Golden Gate, the land batteries belohed
forth a national salute, and the bay
steamers took up the signal with their
sirens. Flags dipped and were waved,
whistles screamed, cannon were fired,
trumpets were blown and megaphones
and marine glasses were turned on the
delighted boys, who crowded the rig
ging of the steamer.
The fleet of yachts and tugs fell into
the wake of the transport and gath
cred numbers as it arrived we'll inside
the bay. AS the fleet swept past the
sea wall the din became loud and more
deafening and the waving of flags more
frantic. AS the fleet neared the trans
port dock, the Iowa let go her batteries.
Just before the anchor of the Sherman
was dropped the signal was given for
the escort to dispense.
Tonight there was a grand illumina-
ton on the bay, and the city was
lighted up with thousands of electric
lights stretched in tasty designs at
conspicuous points. The celebration to
be held in honor of the return of the
soldiers has attracted 100000 strangers

marked recognition of the sterling quail
tiles of Worcester soldiers and adds an
other laurel to the long list of military
honors that have come to the Heart of
the Commonwealth.
Lieut. Gray is now in camp with his
company at South birmingham and
the first announcement of the glad
news was made to him by The Spy

genuine surprise to the Worcester man.
The appointment was made without

unexpected by the recipient of the hon

The fact that some large pieces of

pointment by advancing the recommen-
dation to the president of the United
States.
Although unexpected, the news was
none the less gratifying. When The
Spys representative in camp made the
exclusive announcement, the good news
spread like wildfire and the camp was
in en- uproar of delight. Lieut.. Gray's
company, the Wellington Rifles, led in
an ovation to the popular lieutenant,
and congratulations were showered up

new company in the United States ser
vice. His appointment, he said, had
found him on duty and his pleasure at

polntment spread beyond the company
street and reached the Sixth regiment

late the lieutenant Of the Wellingtons

every man in camp, and a reception in
his honor continued until taps. Lieut..

paid due recognition to the honor be-
slowed upon the Second regiment.

New York, Aug. 24.-The Times to-
morrow will say: At the office of Bar
row, Wade Guthrie & Co, yesterday
Thursday it was stated that it was a
fact that that concern had offered to
purchase all the print cloth and cotton
bale mills of Fall River, as had been
reported
Our offer" said one of the firm, "yAas
for the entire 2,235,3 12 sDindles Of the
various mills, and though / am not at
liberty to give the figures, l will say
that they are in excess of 500 600, 600
We represent both American and
English capital, and we have strong
hopes that our offer will be accepted. As
for the readiness of capital to invest
l may say that in this country alone
we have been offered more than four
times the amount necessary.
The idea of the purchase is consol-
idation. That will mean considerable
reduction in the working expenses. As
for the effect on prices, think the con-
solidation's effect, if it comes about,
will be rather to lower than to increase
them.
I'VE put through the Fall River,
Taunton and New Bedford wooden mills
consultations, and that is one reason
why we have been asked to negotiate
the present deal All told there will
be about thirty mills combined if the
project be successful"
