Happy Ending OF Moody Contr

HAPPY Ending OF Moody controversy
The Greenfield correspondence in the
Springfield Sunday Republican contained
the following: THE biography of d. l..
Moody by his son, w. K. Moody, is await
ed with much interest. The author has
had exceptional opportunities in the way
of preparation for the work. He knows
his subject more thoroughly than any one
outside of the family could hope to. He
has been intimately associated with his
father in carrying on certain branches Of
work, and from ties of blood and sym
patty must receive strong impulse. 1t
is hoped that the unhappy controversy
that was raised after the death Of Mr..
Moody, as to who should be his biograph-
er, has been happily ended. 1t is said that
the points of difference between DR.. Chap
man and the Moody family in regard to
writing the work were submitted by w. r.
Moody to disinterested parties, who pro-
nounced in his favor"

Secretary J V s Oddie OF the New York
Yacht Club yesterday announced that the
Columbia would be In commission and sailed
against the new defender as trial boat and
for the honor OF defending the Americas
Cup II she should prove faster than the new
yacht. Tho Columbia will be managed by
former Commodore L. d. Morgan. and Capt
Charles Barr will be the skipper. The Colum-
bia Is hauled out at City Island. She will not
be put In the water until a short time before
she Is wanted, as there - nothing TO do 10
the yacht e1cept Of her out for racing. and II
will only take few weeks TO 10 that She
will be put In the best possible shape. and in
the hands OF eI-Commodore Morgan and
Capt Barr should BE- able 10 make the new
oughly familiar with the yacht. and 1t was q
". ss plan TO make him sailing master OF her
again. Many yachtsmen are Of the opinion

Fires that Burn In the Night.

The house on Clark's avenue owned bv
Joseph Cloutier and occupied by A. 7.
Roy and Edmund Brown was badly
damaged by fire last Wednesday night.
The fire caught in the woodshed and ex-
tended along the ell to the main part of
the dwelling before it could be extin-
guished. The alarm was rung at eleven
O'Clock, but was improperly rung and
caused some delay and confusion to the
fremen. Hose Co. No. 5 arrived first
and when the alarm from box 81 on
Maple street sounded, Hose Co. No. d
quickly responded. With the two com.
panies on hand the fire was quickly un-
der control. The building was fully
insured through Crawford Ranney's
agency. Mr.. Brown carried insurance
OIL his household goods and Mr. Roy had
no insurance. The loss in both cases was
small.
A rear end collision of two extra
iieights Just below the campus about
4.30 Monday morning resulted in the
burning OF a saloon car and the derail
ment OF several others. The collidine
engine was but slightly damaged. Ar
alarm was rung from box AZ and host
companies 4 and S responded but die
NOT attempt toextinguish the flames.
