MURDER IN LOWELL.
Fanny Boyd Killed and Companion
Thouqht to Be Robbed.

Lowell, Oct. 1O.-The body of Mrs.
Fanny Boyd was found in a lonely,
place on Pawtucket street, near the
Merrimac river here, at o'clock this
morning. It was evident that the young
woman had been strangled to death and
the police think the motive was a Grim
inal assault. The police also claim to
have evidence that a man who was
with the woman was beaten and rob
bed by three men who had followed the
couple to the scene of the tragedy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph H. Budjford,
living about SO yards from where the
body was found, heard man, evidently
intoxicated, and a woman uuarreline in
front of their house, after midnight.
Mr.. Budjford ordered them to move on,
and as they did so he noticed that three
men, who had been hiding behind trees
across the street, followed them. He
started out on his bicycle after police
man. When he returned in an hour or
more with a patrolman, the woman was
dead, lying by the side of the road.
| Mrs. Budjford, during her husbands
absence, had heard screams and short
ly afterwards saw three men go up to a
street lamp near the door, She heard
one say: ITS a silver open-face watch
and it's five minutes to one by it,
while another said: 81 have this to de-
fend me-" They then apparently re-
turned to the pair, for in a short time
Mrs. Budjford heard the woman cry,
Now you've lone It'll" and afterwards
heard her moan. Then silence fell and
the three men walked hurrie dly away
from the scene. the dead woman was
apparently about 80 years old. About
the neck were discolorations that led
the police to believe that she was
! checked to death
The body was identified late this
afternoon by Peter Boyd of this city as
that of his wife, Fanny Boyd. The hus-
band informed the officers that his wife
had been missing from home since II
o'clock last night. When she left at that
time she left no word Of her destination.
Mr.. Boyd was positive in his identified
ton of the dead woman as his wife, and
while standing over the remains ex-
! claimed: II will kin the murderers. No
clue to the perpetrators Of the deed had
been obtained up to a late hour to-
night. but the police are OBTAINING three
men on suspicion.

the Largest Moose
in New Brunswick.
KILLED At A DISTANCE OF 40 FEET
Weighed 1850 Pounds, and
Stood Seven Feet One
Inch in Height.

Edwin S. Pierces return from the
New Brunswick hunting grounds yes
terday brought Worcester a new honor
in the big game line. The prize winner
in Mr.. Pierce's string is a moose weigh
ing 1850 pounds, the largest killed in
years in Maine or New Brunswick.
Mr.. Pierce and C. L. Reardon of Bos-
ton left three weeks ago yesterday for
a hunting trip, and, under the direc-
ton of Arthur Pringle, the Maramachie
district of New Brunswick was in
vaded for big game. Mr.. Pringle is
a veteran trapper in the district for
whom Worcester sportsmen have a
brotherly affection.
About two weeks ago the hunting
party was camped within 80 miles of
the Canadian line. Sixty-eight miles
separated the hunters from the nearest
house. According to Mr. Pierces state
ment, the honor of killing the biggest
moose of the year was big piece of
luck. The Worcester sportsman was
out for big game, and as he had already
downed caribou, moose was needed
to complete the maximum amount of
game allowed by the commission. The
moose came out of the woods within a
few hundred yards and walked back
again.
Mr.. Pierce saw it first and was rub
bling his eyes and pinching himself to
see If he was awake, when the big fell
low loomed up in the Worcester mans
path. Mr.. Pierce raised his gun and
the game fellow was brought down. 1t
was % PAGES from where Mr.. Pierce
stood to the body of the moose-about
45 feet. This is where Mr.. Pierce
thinks he had all kinds of good fortune.
The moose was left with taxider-
mist in Bangor, Me-, for mounting, but
Mr.. Pierce's statements as to the size
of the moose are substantiated by rec
ords OF the game commissioners of New
brunswick, which publicly credit Mr..
Pierce with having brought the biggest
head from the hunting districts. The
antlers have 29 points and the widest
blades are 10 inches in width. The
lower blades, near the head, instead of
resembling prongs, as is usually the
case, are seven inches wide.
The animal stood seven feet one inch
In height, or nearly two feet taller than
horse is hands high The carbon.
which completed Mr.. Pierce's string of
big game, has 80 points, and is some
thing better than an ordinary speci-

Charles c. Carr, First Baseman Of the
Worcester Club.

Charles c. Carr, the popular first base
man of the local base ball club the past
season, will play in this city no more, for
he has been transferred to the Toronto
Club for Judson G. Smith by Manager F.
~. Leonard
This makes the Worcester Club strong
at third base, where Smith will play, and
Kuhns' absence will not be seriously felt
BY the local team. 1t has been known all
along that Manager Leonard intended
playing ''Kittie" Bransfield at first base
1t was evident then that Carr was to go
and the transfer does not come with
much surprise to those who have been in
touch with the affairs of the club.
Manager Leonard wrote yesterday that
ne had conference with "Billy" Merritt
and said that the latter would play in this
city in 1890 II he could make Satisfactory
arrangements regarding his business af-
Ialrs II suitable arrangement can be
made and Merritt signed that would mean
another good catcher for the local team.
Charles Kuhns, who has been about this
city for the past few days left yesterda y
Tor Boston. He says that he is at a loss
where he is to play next season. He has
peen reserved by Boston, though two
Eastern League teams have made him Of
fers. In regard to the disposition Of FRS
pee kuhns said that he does not think he
has been signed to Grand Rapids but
that he is still under a Boston contract
and will play with the champions befora

for examination Oct. Is. Hysman claims
that Vandyke, aided by the others, OBJ

broker in Boston. When he came here
he says he told Vandyke he believed
two women in Boston named New

On Sept. % two strange men called on
Hysman. One pretended to be a prose-

name was Ferguson. The other said ne
was detective, and that his name was

CENTER OF ATTRACTION.
Gen. Fennston Greatly Admired In
Yokohama.


Yokohama, Sept. rs, via San Francis
co, Oct. 10.-The Twentieth Kansas
regiment has come and gone, adding
materially to the very favorable inn
preston made by all the American
troops who have passed through here
on their homeward way. The one man
who has been the centre of attraction
has. of course been Gen. Funston. His
modest bearing and strong. personality
have made him great favorite.
The Newport on its homeward voy-
age had on board a large contingent of
discharged soldiers. These men, find
ing that they outnumbered the rest of
the passengers, carried things with a
high hand. Dissatisfied with their ac-
commodations, they practically took
possession of the ship, and, driving the
officers from their quarters, installed
themselves therein. Arriving at Nag
asaki, Consul Harris, being apprised
of the affair, went on board with four
Japanese policemen and arrested the
ringleaders of the mutineers.
A fire at Hakodate, on the 18th inst,
resulted in the destruction of nearly
5000 houses. AS it is a town Of 10000
inhabitants, this means the wiping out
of about one-fourth of them. Within a
little more than a month, three great
fires in Yokohama, Toyama and Hako-
date have destroyed upwards of HOO
houses, fact which has led to a Sc
rious discussion in the press as to
whether the time had not come for the
adoption of an entirely different style
of urban architecture, in order to pre-
vent occurrences of these serious con-
t1agrations.
Shanghai is excited over the CHASTITY

dictory Statements From Him.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1O.-In the count
erfeiters case today, counsel endeav-
ored to draw from the witness an adj
mission that he sought Ingham's ad-
vice because of an attempt being made
10 close his factory, but the witness
persisted that he called on Ingham to
discover whether Ingham could CON
meet with the secret service. Kendig
SAID on one occasion Jacson was pres
ent at an interview between witness
and Ingham, but at no other time.
The code was in four lines, which
was explained as follows:
Will be in the office on the morn
ing that Ingham wanted to see him"
Il will not be here" meaning unable
to accomplish anything.
Il can see you," meaning the deal
was in allegiance.
ing that the bribery had been success
full.
kilograms were identified by Kend-
ing as portions of the correspondence
between 1ngham and himself. This
concluded Kending'S cross examination
Several other witnesses gave unimpor-
tant testimony. Miss Lodge. former
ly a typewriter in Ingham's office, tes-
tilted that she saw Kending in the office.
Mr.. McManus was the next most i'm
portant witness. He told of Newitt's
efforts to obtain employment for a man
in the secret service, which led to the
bribery overtures. On Feb. 90 he said
hewitt told him he knew a man who
would give $500 for some information
about the secret service. OF this
amount, McManus could have $1,000 and
$500 was for hewitt. McManus report
ed the conversation to Mr.. Beck and to
Superintendent Burns Under advice
of Mr.. Beck, McManus called on Mer-
rift again. The latter told him there
was a man in Lancaster who was being
watched by the secret service agents,
and If they arrested him, it would cost
$4,000 or $1,000 and ruin him. McManus
volunteered to go to Lancaster
