IT is CLEARED UP.

My EIGHT DOORS.

The subcommittee of the house steer
ing committee appointed to investigate
the number of employees IN the house,
Thursday checked over the list in the
Office of the chief clerk and report that
it was all right; that every employe had
been authorized.
Two duplicates had previously been
discovered by Chief Clerk Mason, caus-
ed by the misspelling of two names,
and the warrants for these had been
held UP by Mr. Mason.
The list in the chief clerks Office
shows 148 employees tabulated and moro
were added yesterday. These do not IN
clude any committee clerks or stenog-
ra2hers.
The chief objection is to the army of
doorkeepers, ianitOrs and sergea nts-at-
arms. Nobody claims they are needed,
but many of the members have friends
whom they want to get on the pay roll
and so they are put on as doOrkeepers.
There are five doors used leading into
Representative hall when the house IS
in session There are also two or three
inside doors which need doorkeepers, 50
perhaps eight doorkeepers could be used
Instead of that 50 doorkeepers are on
the pay roll. There might be excuse for
a few extras. but not for 30
The list of employees as far as made
UP in the chief clerks Office is as fol-
lows:

Michael Shields, a weaver in the Natick
mill. while playing upon the abutments
OF the iron bridge on Main street in Ma
tick. with some companions, yesterday
afternoon. lost his footing upon the
bridge and tumbled into the water and
sank to the bottom before aid could
reach him. The lad had been playing upon
the huge abutments which stand about
20 feet out OF the water as has been n
habit OF a number OF youngsters and by
a mistep plunged TO his death into the
pond below and although the cries OF his
frightened companions caused several 10
hasten to the scene he sank for the last
time before any aid could be offered. 1t is
thought that the little fellow was stunned
by the fall and for that reason was un-
able to help himself, at any rate he made
no voluntary movements after he struck
the water and was carried by the stream
into deep water where he was drowned.
A search was Immediately instigated and
the body was recovered later.
