William and Mary Downey. 1t was al
legged that he had made no accounting.
Judge w. r. Forbes ordered his re-
moval, and Kelley appealed to the Su-
preme Court
In April, 1900, he filed an account in
which he charged himself with $666.5l.
The heirs opposed the account and
claimed that Kelley should be charged
for a larger sum. May IL the court
found that he should be charged with
S1092.17. Sullivan e. O'Connell through
out these proceedings represented the
heirs and brought suit in Superior
Court against Kelley and his bonds
men, William Downey and p. J. Daley.
This suit was terminated in manner
averse to Kelley.
State Detective Peleg F. Murray
made an investigation of, the circum-
stances.
Up to this time Kelley has been un-
able to obtain bail, although he has
made efforts to do so.
John r. Thayer, who was counsel for
Kelley in his trial for embezzling the
funds Of the town of Warren, said last
night that he had not been retained
in this matter and knew nothing of
it,
A story obtained currency in the
afternoon that Kelley had been arrest
ed for embezzling funds of Warren on
dates later than the indictment, under
which he was convicted, but this was
untrue

BEAUDEAU DISCHARGED
ON A TECHNICALLY

In the Central District Court yester-
day morning Norbert Beaudeau, q
years old, charged with breaking and
entering and larceny from the Bloom
,ingdale Road warehouse of the Daniels,
Cornell Company, was discharged ow-
ing to techncality in the complaint.
The shipping clerk testified that the
entrance was not closed when the
break was made. The decision raises
a point in favor of Napoleon Anger and
Felix Charron, arrested on the same
complaint and held in $500 bonds, and
also in the case of Peter Felix, sem
fenced to the Massachusetts Reforma-
tory. The three boys pleaded guilty
to the charge.
Nellie Corrydon, arrested for drunk
enness on complaint of her husband
was sentenced to four months in the
House Of Correction. She vainly begged
her husband to enter an appeal in
her behalf. Peter began, arrested for
drunkenness and sentenced to four
months in the House Of Correction a
week ago, withdrew his appeal. Will
liam Rogers, also in court for drunk
enness, was taken on probation as he
has a large family dependent on him
for support.

The Warren Lawyer and Former
Town Tax Collector Arrested
On a Charge of EmbezzIing
From the John DoWney Estate
PRISONER IN JAIL
IN DEFAULT OF BAIL
A Conviction On ENLIGHTENMENT
Charge Found Against the
Prisoner at the Last Term of
the Superior Criminal Court
Sentence Deferred

The troubles of w. H. Kelley, former
tax collector Of Warren, were increased
yesterday by his arrest on the charge
of embezzling sums amounting ap-
proximately to $1O92.17 from the estate
Of John w. Downey, late of Warren.
Kelley was brought to Worcester, yes
terday morning, and lodged in Summer
Street Jail.
Kelley has had an exciting career in
the last few months. He has been
prominent lawyer, and leader in the
politics of his town, and has enjoyed
the confidence Of the best men in War
rem, as is shown by the names of the
men who appear upon the bond which
he gave as collector.
He held this office from 1891, until
several years later when it began to
be whispered that things were wrong
1t was three or four years following
the first scandal that the selectmen
caused his arrest after fruitless efforts
to get a settlement with him. He was
convicted at the last term of the Su-
perior Criminal Court of embezzling,
on several counts, but was not SEN
senced owing to pending motions.
The records show that Kelley was
appointed administrator of the Downey
estate, and that Jan. %, 1900, a petit
ton for his removal was filed in the
Probate Court by the heirs, David j.,

Worcester has donned its Christmas
garb It's merchants have stocked their
stores until the very walls bulge with
the good things which an indulgent
Santa Claus has provided for the hap
piness of all. Worcester purchasers are
expectant Suburban purchasers are
anxious. The combination is an eXhil-
arating one, and consequently the
Christmas ball is kept merrily rolling
on, while old Kris Kringle winks his
north eye in a mischievous manner and
wears a complacent smile, cut la

All up and down the main thorough
fares Of the city, show windows are be-
decked with holly and other evergreens,
while tier upon tier of excellent things
are placed on exhibition. Nor do the
larger stores bear monopoly of the
good things. Scores upon scores of the
smaller stores are bountifully stocked
and extra help has been drafted
to keep the multitude good natured.
Local merchants have taken time by
the forelock and prepared for the ex-
ira influx of thousands of purchasers
who were not here last year. 1t is gen
orally realized that during the next
few days preceding Christmas. wealth
er conditions proving favorable, that
many thousands of extra dollars will
be left here by out-of-town shoppers.
This is made possible by the through
trolley car connections with all parts of
this big county and the benefit given
by Worcesters street car transfer sys-
TEN. All of the lines now deposit their
passengers in the centre Of the city.
1t is interesting to watch each car
from north. south east or west draw
up at Harrington Corner and deposit
its hundreds of Christmas shoppers.
These shoppers soon become absorbed
in the moving procession on the side
walks and hundreds make vain en-
deavors to peep into the big show win
dows. They all want to purchase
something; many know not what, nor
indeed, do they know where to go.
Spy man who is on intimate terms
with Santa Claus and has been since
he hung up his little stocking way up
in the Berkshire Hills, has promised the
merry old fellow with snowy beard
to place the visiting pur-
chasers on the right road to
bargain depots and storehouses
where the works of Santa's nimble
fingers can be found. Below is a re-
suit of a few hours investigation and
there will be more to follow from day
to day.

ahead. Wool stock that had accumu-
lated in mills in speculation has been
largely reduced or used up. Low prices
are not inducing speculation, as ex-
perience last year has enjoined eau
ton. The visible wool in the market
here has been reduced since January
l, shipments having exceeded receipts
but the supply is good and sellers are
disposed to meet buyers on prices. The
approach of a new clip tends to make
offerings of present stock more free.
Carpet wool, which has not been sub
ject to great f%iuotnation in the past, is
now remarkably strong and prices have
advanced slightly. Mills are reported
doing a good business. According to
the testimony of the treasurer of a
company controlling many wooden mills
in New England the proportion of cot
ton with waste and shoddies that en-
tered into the product of the mills as
substitutes" during the last year was
fully -16 per cent. 1t is known, too,
that by improved processes Of manu-
facture the use of cotton into products
that give the effect of wool has grown.
High prices of wool in the past have
resulted in the demand for cheaper
substitutes. During the prevailing low
prices Of wool there has been a con-
tinued demand for the substitutes.
Shoddy mills are doing a fair bust
ness.

Yesterday was another off day in
business and financial circles. The
New York and Pittsburg exchanges
were closed. and there was only a
very moderate business on the Chi
cago produce exchange, the material
quotations following: May wheat,
high, 76asc; low, 75Bc; closed, 76Bc;
76Ac asked. Corn, May closed at
41Ac. Oats, May closed at 25Bc.
There is little to be said of the gen.
eral market conditions, the situation
being practically unchanged. With
the exchanges in the leading cities
closed Friday and Saturday it is al
most futile to forecast quotations I'M
til the opening tomorrow. The New
York bank statement was not avail
able over the local exchange wires last
evening, and the general situation is
thus an unknown quantity. We pre-
sent below the latest phases of the
general situation, as far as they are
available, but must rely upon Mon
days quotations for further light up
on the situation.
