MARY L. Ho1LIsrER.

MARY L. hOLA4AnIhh
She has solved IL, lifes wonderful problem;
The deepest the strangest, the last,
And into the school Of the angels,
With the answer, forever has passed.
How strange that in spite of our questioning
she maketh no answer. nor tells
Why so soon were life's honoring laurels
Oispeled by Gods lmmortelles
How strange she should sleep so profoundly;
So young, so unworn by the strife.
While beside her brimful OF hopes nectar,
Untouched stood the goblet OF life.
Men sleep like that, when the evening
or a long dreary day droppeth down,
But she wrought so well that the morning
Brought for her the rest and the crown.
'Tis idle to talk of the future,
And the rare might have been,' mid our
[tears
God knew all about it, yet took her
Away from the oncoming years.
God knew all about lt-how noble,
How gentle she was, and how brave,
How bright her possible future,
Yet put her to sleep in the grave.
God knew all about those who loved her
How bitter the trial must be,
And right through it all, God is lovi1g,
And knows so much better than we.

nURDER AT
HOOSICK jet.
Warren DOwney Of Hoosick Hotel
Was the Victim.
FRANKHOVER MURDERER
Quarrel Was Over Bottle Of Whskey Which
Hover Tried to Steal From
Downey's Bar Room.

AS a result of stabblng which oc-
CURED at Hoosick Junction about 3
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon the author
titles secured the surrounding country
in search in search OF a man named
Frank Hover of North Bennington,
though recently staying at Eagle
Bridge, who has become a murderer.
The victim is Warren Downey, the
proprietor of hotel at Hoo
sick Junction. He was taken to Troy
Tuesday night and removed to the
Samaritan hospital, where he died at
10:45 O'Clock.
Downey sustained two severe cuts in
the abdomen and several others about
the body. It was the abdominal
wound, however, which proved fatal,
Fred Hover, son OF the alleged MUIR
derer, who was with his father at the
time the deed was committed, was TAX
en- into custody Tuesday night. He
claims to know nothing concerning
his father's whereabouts.
Hover and his son, it is stated, en-
tered Downey's bar and asked for a
bottle of whiskey. Downey refused it
and Hover grabbed a bottle from the
bar and ran out with it,
The hotel keeper, without donning
hat or coat, gave hasty pursuit, and
when several hundred yards from
the place overlook the fugitive. He
grappled with the alleged thief and in
the scrimmage which followed Hover
drew a knife. Downey saw the weapon
as it flashed from the pocket of the
desperate man, and sought with all his
might to prevent its use. but in vain.
Hover was clearly more than a match
for his antagonist, and, it is alleged,
drove the knife deep into Downey $ abb
domen.
With o cry the wounded man released
his hold and fell to the ground. The
other, still infuriated, however, sprang
at Downey with apparent renewed en-
ergy and, it is alleged, followed the
first thrust up with several others, cut
ting and slashing Downey wherever
opportunity presented itself A second
blow TO the abdomen rendered the vic
tim entirely helpless and the other,
suddenly realizing feeling OF terror
in the thought that he might have mur-
dered the hotel keeper, turned and fed.
The elder Hover is about 45 years
OF age and while he was known to pos
sess bad temper was not looked up
on as especially harmful The young
er Hover will be held as a witness.
The murder greatly aroused the res
idents at Hoosick Junction and vicin-
fly and every effort was made to ap-
prehend the fugitive.
Hover was arrested near Cambridge
yesterday afternoon and is now in
Troy Jail.
