DR. Lodge was born in Ballyroan,
Queen 'scounty ireland, about 30 years
ago. He had attained the age Of man
hood before he could be induced to at
tend school, but once he got down TO
business and made up his mind TO
study he drank in learning SO rapidly
that he outstripped young men who
had been attending school from their
boyhood. Not content with what he
could pick up in the day school he kept
at It nights and many believe that the
eccentricities so manifest in his char
acter were the result of excessive study
during the years he was aiming to
make UP for lost ground In the matter
of acquiring an education. When he
had completed his studies in the local
school he worked at common aabor for
q time and was ON his way to his place
OF employment with half a dozen 9th
err aaborers when he learned Of the
death of the principal In the national
school in his native town and immedi-
ately he tossed his spade to one side
and turned back, remarking to his as
sociates that he was going to compete
for the principalship Of the school and
that in case he should get it he never
again would work an hour at common
labor. At the examination before the
county board he came of victorious
and was installed as principal of the
school where but few years pre-
viously he had commenced his rudi-
mentary studies, and kept the position
until he came to the United States and
proved a most successful instructor.
There are many young men in Water
bury to-day who attended school under
DIR Lodge and all speak of him with
the utmost respect, love and admira-
ton. He was extremely popular In
his native town and when it became
known that he was thinning of emil
grating to this country monster petit
ton signed by the parents Of the
school children and the school board
was presented to him, asking him to
reconsider the course he had decided
upon and remain at his post. But
like thousands of other young men
who were born in the old world and
wanted to get their heels out of 1t as
soon as they were able to scratch for
themselves, Mr. Lodge was not content
there and some twenty years ago or
more he resigned his position in the
school and left for America. He came
to Waterbury, where his sister, Mrs
John Elephort, was then living, but
soon after removed to Naugatuck,
where through the good Offices Of a
relative M. y. Goens he secured q

 Miss Nellie MacMahon was passen- ger on one of the cars. At East Main street, the conductor, fearing trouble, asked her if she had not better leave the car Miss MacMahon evidently did not understand what he said, and the car started. The crowd increased in size and stones began to fly. It was too late then for her to leave the car and being provided with a cape, drew the hood of the same over her head. The volley of stones were without ces- sation, and one struck her on the side, cutting the silk waist she was wearing. Miss MacMahon grew hysterical with fright, and the crowd, abashed, fell back. In a twinkling friends hurried forward and took her from the car, and she was removed to the residence of relatives nearby, to which she was bound This act of brutality was con demned, but the mob's fury seemed to increase rather than abate.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
Some of Miss Cranes Clothing
 Was Found To-Day
IN ST PATRICK's HALL CELLAR

Detectives Kennaugh and O,Gorman
 Found it Behind a Barrel-Blood Spots on Floor of Cellar-Y Young Wo-
 man Still at Hospital. but Shows Slight Improvement This Afternoon.
 Detectives Kennaugh and O'Gorman made an important discovery to-day In connection with the assault upon Miss Margaret Crane. In looking oyer the territory in the vicinity of St Patrick , hall, where Miss Crane was to have attended meeting the night she was assaulted, they concluded to try the cellar of the hall. and were rewarded Dy hnding the girls hat, gloves, switch ana her pocketbook containing SPOT. all of which are now at the police sta- ton. Whether the articles were taken in there after the assault or the assault committed there and then the victim was taken out through the rear door. IS something yet to be determined, but It looks as if the struggle occurred at the foot of the stairway, where there Is mark ill the concrete floor which the detectives consider was caused bv the blood from the wound in Miss Cranes head, and about a foot from this is another mark which is regarded as containing evidences of where the victim vomfted. Quite near these spots barrel was found with debris under heath 1t which appeared to have been the sweepings of the floor. Behind the barrel the officers picked up the arti- cles mentioned. The place where the things were discovered is almost un- frequented during the summer months. 1t Is entered by a door directly west or the main door and has an exit di- rectly In the rear which is seldom closed, so that the girl could easily have been taken out that way and thence to the place where she was first seen after the assault. Now the dues4 ton arises how did Miss Crane qef into that out of the way place? Was she going down there for any purpose. and if so did she lose her balance and in this way receive the wound on the back of her head? If so, how did she come to divest herself Of her clothing and work her way 10 where she was found? Was she stunrled sbv the fall and after lying there for sev- eral hours. did she regain sufficient strength to tear off her clothing and then wander out through the rear door herself and across the way to Brook street! Nobody knows. and it is question if the facts will be known until Miss Crane is able to tell the story herself
 At the hospital this afternoon if waa said that she was Improving. Her condition was critical yesterday. but she rallied and things look better for her to-day
 The only part of her clothing not vet accounted for is her skirt. This has not been found, although the officers have made thorough search through that whole district.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-07-14

The statement published by the Miners and Merchants bank, of this city, this morning, shows a continual growth of this popular financial in- stitution, which must be very gratify- flying to its owners and directors. The total deposits of the Miners and Mer- chants has increased nearly one hun dred thousand dollars since the pub hcation of the last official statement, less than two months ago. This bank is now just year old and its growth has been the occasion of re- mark. Cashier Hood, who has been in charge from the beginning, was one of the active promoters of the enter prise and results have proved that he made no miscalculation as to the amount of business to be had. The growth of this bank reflects the growth of Bisbee and also reflects the conf dence in which it is held by the bus mess men of Bisbee.
