WERE FRIENDS FOR YEARS.
Worcester Men Had Falling Out
and Fatal Tragedy Resulted.

Worcester Mass, May John +.
Reynolds, Il veteran of the Spanish
American war, was shot dead yesterday
afternoon by John y. Cummings. Both
ulrn have been friends for years, and on
April % had Il quarrel.
Cummings purchased 32-calibrc re-
volvcr and n box of cartridges ycstcr-
day morning, and spent several hours in
walking about the city. The shooting
occurred in Compton park, where the
men met. Az far as the police can
learn, Reynolds death was deliberately
planned by Cummings, and the men had
been together but 10 minutes when
Cummings fired the shot which pierced
Reynolds heart.
Reynolds grapplcd with Cummings
after the shot had been fired, and forced
his asSailant to the ground and then fell
dead. Cummings, lying on the ground.
fired two more shots before he was
Ovcrpowrrcd by Edward Mara, n friend
who witnessed the shooting. The third
shot Cummings evidently fired ut Nara,
but. missing his aim. sent the ball
through his own left leg. Mara held
Cummings on the ground until the ar
rival of Officer Hanson, who placed hin
under arrest.
Cummings says lie WAS afraid of Ntry-
nolls. and knew the latter would injurr
him in IL fight. He says he warned him
he was armed, and thought Reynolds
ana Mara and another man named John
Mclaughlin were going to jump on him.
Mara and Mclaughlin say there was
no fight. and that Cummings pulled the
revolver as soon rs the men met in the
park.

SHOE INDUSTRY BOOMING.
The Famous Factory at Brockton,

Boston, Mass.--The boom in New

state than is the shoe industry. From
Brockton come especially encouraging
reports. w. l.. Douglas is going to
increase the capacity Of his factory to
5000 pairs of shoes per day.
The addition will be made in the
form of q wing running out from the
front of the factory 100 feet deep, 40
feet wide and four stories high. This
will add 10000 square feet of space
for manufacturing purposes.
About $4,000 more per week Will be
paid out to shoemakers. which will 90

munity at large.
When the factory starts up the first
of July it will be on an output of 500
dozen pairs of shoes per day, and the
weekly payroll. exclusive of office
help, superintendent. foremen. ETC.,
will be $4,000 per week to those ac-
tually engaged in making shoes.
The statesmen on the road are sell
ing % percent more goods than last
season, and to take care of this in
creased business the erection of the
addition is made necessary. The in

extensive advertising, the expenditure
for which is now larger than at any
other period. and is to be still further
increased.

The Principles Of Economy.

A young man and his wife boarded
an Amsterdam avenue car the other
evening on their way out to dinner.
The young man had no change and

for two fares.

tor, ''but I'll get it on the way up"
But the young man and his wife
reached their destination before the
conductor made any collections and SO
rode free. Whereupon. on the ground
that he had made an unexpected ten
cents, the young man bought dollars

OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE.
Suspicious Circumstances Attending
Death of Young Man 1T Concord.

Concord, y. H.. May Frank T.
Menard of Boston. II years old, died
at n local hotel yesterday as the result
of an overdose of morphine. Coroner
Palmer impanrlled a jury which, after
lengthy Investigation, adjourned until
today without reaching Il verdict Men
ards friends say his death was acct
dental, but there are features which
seemed to the jury to require further re-
search.
Young Menard's mother Is dead, but
derstood to have helped him out Of sev-
eral scrapCS. Last September he an
nOunccd that he had reached his 2lst
birthday, and had come into an estate
yielding $500 Il month, left him hy his
grandfather. He soon became PROM
inent here and in Manchester. figuring
especially in horse circles. For some
time he had been negotiating for the
purchase of an interest in A local livery
stable, for which he was to have paid
$4,000 yesterday afternoon. \ lawyer
came here from Boston to draw np the
papers. and Menard stated that he had
received check for the amount nccrS-
sary. When the time came for him to
sign the papers he was dead, and Il
search among his effects revealed only
$1.35 in money and no check.
Menard was accompanied here by
young woman who has posed nS his
wife. She acknowledged last night
that she WAS not married, but that she
had been living with Mrnarl since last
September. a fcw weeks ago She
came near dying from the effects of an
overdose of laudanum, but prompt ac-
tion by the doctors saved her.
Menard is said to have been drinking
heavily lately. Yesterday noon he COM
planned of not feeling well and went to
his room in the hotel When Miss Hall
joined him there Il little later hr told
her he had taken morphine and was
afraid he had taken too much. TWO
physicians were summoned Mt once, hut
their efforts were without avail. and
Menard died shortly after 3 o'clock.

Arlington, Mass. May 2.-There was
an undercurrent of feeling in Arlington
Yesterday that the authorities had dis
covered some important clew concern
ing the books taken from the vault in
the treusurcr's office, and that there
would be IN arrest soon. This was
borne out late in the afternoon, when
Roland Swan, assistant to the town
clerk, was arrested on suspicion of be-
ing connected with the disappearance
Of funds of the town, as the result of
an investigation that has been in pro-
gress for the past few days. He had
been under suspicion since Tuesday
noon.
Swan will be taken to the Cambridge
police court, but the selcctmen and po-
lice will not give out any information
as to what charge the prisoner will bc
arraigncd on.
Swan has lived with his sister Mrs.
Knight, in double house on Water
street. and it was learned by the police
that the tenants In the other part of the
house had complained lately that the
water backed up in the sewage pipes.
Upon investigation Il plumber found
that the Y-shnped sewage pipe,
with which the pipes from each side of
the house were connected, clogged with
pieces of paper, and when these were
examined it was found that they in
cluded pieces of checks and some whole
checks. Among them was one check
for $50, drawn Oh the First National
bank of Rockland, Mass, and another
for $53 drawn on the Arlington National
bank, both in favor of the town. These
discoveries Immediately directed Sus-
piciOn to Swan.
The town officials worked all day on
the accounts in the treasurer's office,
but they stated last night that they
were unable to say how long 1t would
take to straighten out the tanelc. 1t
Is understood that Swan was not under
bonds. The town treasurer is under
500, 900 bonds, and is believed to be re-
sponsihle financially for Swan in his
work for the town.
money deposited by the town in the
Faneull Hall National bank is not miss
1t was learned yesterday that the
ing, but that a large amount, in the
neighborhoOd Of $1,000, is missing from
the Arlington National bank.
There is an expression of opinion by
those directly Interested in the towns
affairs that the missing books have not
been destroyed, and this statement has
caused considerable comment MS the
theory hitherto held was that the books
were burned in the lire at the town hall.
Experts from Boston electrical COM
panes were here testing and examining
the wires which run over the roof of
the town hail. with view to aSccrtain-
ing whether or not they could have
caused the fire. All their experiments
tended to show that there was no defect
in the wiring system, and that the fire
could not have originated from that
source.

Cambridge, Mass, May 2.-l'he de-
Tense has made an important admission
in the trial of Professor Charles II.
Eastman for the murder of his brother
in-law, Richard Il. Grogan. by volun-
tarily admitting that the bullet which
has been frequently produced during
the trial, and which the government
claims was taken from GroSan's body,
was fired from Il modern Smith and
WeSSOn centre fire revolver of the same
pattern nS those used by Eastman ana
GrOSnn in their target shooting. The
government also shows that the re-
vOlver which discharged the fatal bul-
let must have been at least six feet from
Grogan when it went of.
Eastman in lis numerous statements,
claimed that the fatal bullet was fired
from an old rim fire revolver and that
he stood within tive feet Of Grogan.
This variance was clearly impressed
upon the jury by the government
1t was evident from the cross-eXamin
alton that the defense will attempt to
show that the bullet which has SO fire.
QuentIy been shown the jury was not
the one which killed Grogan, nor was
taken from his body at the first autopsy.
How the change was made and when
it was done has not yet appeared, but
the severe cross-eXamination whenever
the bullet appeared, indicated in way
the line of the defense.
The testimony yesterday was almost
wholly confined to expert testimony on
firearms aud cartridges, and there was
no attempt by the government to show
any additional evidence as to the i'll
feeling between the two men.
Previous to the admission by the de-
fense. Professor Wood of Harvard col
lege continued the important testimony
he gave regarding the bullet taken from
the witness was in support Of the con-
tention of the prosecution that the bull
let contained an alloy of tin, and must,
therefore. have been part of center
fire cartridge, aud could not have come
from the defective rim fire revolver
sucl, as the defendant alleges was acci-
dentally discharged in his hands, cans-
ing the tragedy.
Professor Wood told of having an
alyZed the Sawdust taken from the ver-
tebrac removed from the body of Rich
ard Grogan, and of having found it
contained tin and lead. 1t will be re-
membercd that in saving through the
bone in searching for the bullet, DR..
Swan cut into the bullet, cutting Off n
small piece.

SALT LAKES LEVEL.
Although 1t Is Lowering, There 10 No
Cause For Present AlnriL.

Reports from Salt Lake City show
that the Great Salt Lake Is at a lower
level than ever before in it's recorded
history. The amount Of water flowing
into it has been less of late than the
average and evaporation has been
greater.
This has awakened fear that the
lake is drying up-not that there is
thought to be immediate danger that 1t
will disappear, but thar the decline
noted may be permanent. The Month
ly Weather Review, published under
the direction of the Weather Bureau.
gives assurance that such Is not the
case. In other parts of the world sim.
liar records have been made, and
great interior bodies Of water show
lower levels than usual.
Lakes of this kind have their periods
of rise and fall, and 1t may confidently
be expected that In the course of few
years Salt Lake Will begin to rise
again. 1t requires many years for
bodies Of water like these to perma-
ncntly decline in volume. There Is a,
pendulum swing in their history just
rs there is in the records Of precipita-,
ton. Every now and then one hears
it said that our arid region climate Is
changing because of an increase or de-
crease in the amount of snow or rain
fall. But an examination o metcoro-.
logical record show that oscillations
of that kind have gone on For years,
and that sooner or later conditions
get back to what they were before.
1t is believed that at one time Salt
Lake extended over vastly greater
surface than it does now. 1t has re-
ccded from what 1t was then, but
whether it did so gradually or in consc-
quence of some great geological change
Is not so clear. 1t was in a long-ago
geological era that 1t extended over
the desert region lying to the west and
rea ching out in Nevada. A geological
change in the surface of that par: of
the earth might enlarge it's area or
cause it to disappear entirely. But
movements of that kind occur only at
long intervals, and many generations
of men may have passed away before
another takes place.-Denver Republl-
