Hon. Adna Brown, %, leading citi.
zen of Springfield died Monday after
long illness. Mr.. Brown was born
in Antrim, N H., but left the schools
of that town at the age of 16 to bat

ter in the Parks & Woolson Machine

MARRIED AGAIN.

John F. klmball Charged with Big.
amy Some Time Ago, Marrles the
Woman Who Thought She was Mar
ried to Him Before.
John F. Kimball from whom Lillian
e. Kimball of Colchester received a
divorce in the September term of
Chittenden county court in Burling-
ton, is married again, his wife being
Miss Alice Reed, the woman who
thought she was married to him, and
who was the principal witness against
him on the charge of bigamy.
KimbalPs first wife was Miss Lillian
Stoddard of Winooski. He left her
and married the Reed woman in Bos-
ton, and bigamy proceedings were in
stituted against him last summer. He
was placed in Chelsea Jail, but gave
bail and was released. A month or
two ago his real wife obtained a bill
from Kimball in Burlington, and the
court compelled him to pay her $3.50
alimony. A few weeks ago Kimball
married the Reed woman in New
Hampshire. This act will probably
remove the states principal witness
in the bigamy case, as Miss Reed has
now the legal protection for her two
children, of which Kimball is the
father. Kimball is engaged in the
manufacture of a specific in Boston,
and has had some litigation with his
mother-in-law, who claims to control
the formula for the medicine.

Moshier's injuries, while serious, are
not necessarily fatal.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
HOTEL PROPRIETOR FAILS.
William e. Wood of Greenfield Assigns
Liabilities Unknown.

LIABILITIES UNKNOWN
William e. Wood of Greenfield has
made an assignment for the benefit OF
his creditors. He is the proprietor OF
the Mansion House, Greenfield, owner
of the restaurants on the Fitchburg
division of the Boston & Maine rail-
road at Greenfield, Aver and Troy,
N. Y, and of the pleasure resort at
Whalholm park, near Fitchburg, and
until recently landlord of the yelling
ton hotel, North Adams, and the Pc
quoig House, Athol. Francis A. Eels,
for several years manager for Mr..
Wood, is named as assignee.
Last October a corporation was
formed under the laws of New Jer-
sey to carry on the business formerly
conducted by Mr.. Wood, except the
Wellington hotel and the Pequoig
House, with a capital of 100000. 1t is
understood that the debts of the com
pany are about $4,000, and their as
sets consist of furniture and fixtures
of the Mansion House and the rail
road restaurants. The personal liza
bilities of Mr.. Wood are unknown, but
are understood to be large. They are
due mostly to the losses on the Wei
lington hotel, which has been running
only a year and was erected at a cost
of $4,000, including the furnishings.
The loss on this property is said to
have reached many thousond dollars.
The Mansion House and the railroad
restaurants are said to be yielding
good returns in the capital invested.
All the places are opened and bust
ness is being carried on as usual. Mr..
Wood will file a petition in bankruptcy
some time this week.

PANIC IN A THEATRE.
Cry Of Fire Caused a Wild Rush, in
Which Six Persons Were Killed and
20 Injured

~ VI TUG SahoNb = WIN UdHNy III
Which Six Persons Were Killed and
20 Injured.
Six persons were crushed to death
and as many more seriously injured in
a panic which followed a mans cry
of Fire late Saturday afternoon in
West Twelfth street Turner hall,
Chicago. About 500 people were in
the place. The play was in Yiddish,
and the audience, comprising for the
most part women and children, was
of Hebrews. The play was nearly
over. when the cry which caused the
panic was raised, and within five sec
onds afterward the entire audience
was converted into a frantic mob,
every member of which was fighting
to reach the doors. Around the upper
part of the hall extends balcony,
open only at one end. Here were
seated $50 women and children.
The women at the end of the bal
cony away from the stairway, seeing
that the rush toward the exit was
blocked to them and their children,
began at once to throw the little ones
over the railing to the floor, 10 feet
below. The children fell into the
iNSI VI =" heluuSnOu CulOh55 anu were
trampled under foot. 1t is known
that three of the dead were children
who were thus thrown from the bal
cony. Following the children, many
of the women sprang from the bal
cony upon the crowd below, or hung
by their hands before they dropped.
On the main floor the crush was much
worse than in the balcony.
There was no fire, but the furnace
was defective and when the janitor
fixed the fire shower of sparks came
out the register.

Electric Road from Greenfield to South
Deerfield.

1t is expected that an electric rail
road will be built from Greenfield to
South Deerfield next summer. Thirty
thousand dollars in stock is all the
promoters ask of the people
who will be benefited by building
the line. 1t is expected that the COM
pany will be capitalized at 100000 and
the road will be S1a miles long.
An effort will be made to build
combination bridge across the Deer
field at Cheapside, n conjunction with
the towns of Greenfield and Deerfield.
The Northampton and Amherst road,
which already has branch of it's road
in operation to Hatfield from North
ampton, will ask charter from
the present legislature to build
road from Hatfielt to South Deer
field, and there unite with the propos-
ed Greenfield and Deerfield road.
1t is the plan of the two corporations
to buy Mt. Sugar Loaf, near South
Deerfield, and run a road to the top
of the mountain. 1t is proposed that
at least part of the cars shall run from
Greenfield to Northampton without
change. The roadbed for the Am
herst and Sunderland electric road is
already graded from North Amherst
to Sunderland, and the steel will be
laid early in the spring. This will
bring the end of that road within one
fourth of a mile of the proposed Green
field and Deerfield road, leaving only
walk across the Sunderland bridge
of a quarter of a mile to connect with
the other two roads. 1t is likely that
joint bridge will some time in the
future be built across the Connecticut
at Sunderland.
The Northampton and Amherst cleo
trio railway company has prepared a
petition to the Legislature for an eX-
tension of charter rights, so that it
can extend its tracks through North
Hatfield and East Whately into South
Deeertield, there to meet the tracks
of the Greenfield company.

In speaking of the stand which the
Vermont experiment station has taken
In the matter of this years apple mar
ket, the director says that it should
be distinctly understood that the sta
ton does not pretend to be a bureau
OF statistics nor a prophet of prices.
1t is not organized with any such pur-
pose in view. But in the case of this
years apple crop it was so perfectly
evident to anyone who could see the
situation that prices were abnormally
low, that no statistical inquiry was
necessary to predict the course of the
market. Prices were bound to go up.
The indisputable facts underlying the
situation were pointed out by the hor-
ticulturist of the station in a circular
sent to the papers of Vermont and
vicinity on October 10, and were so
convincing in themselves that they
did not need any official authority to
add to their cogency. The wonder is
that anyone, after having these facts
pointed out, could still have sold good
apples at a dollar a bushel or less.
Evidently, in some cases, the apple
buyers were believed in preference to
a disinterested party like the expert
ment station.

The jury's report has caused a tire

thorough investigation of the refuge,
