MARX STILL UNCAUGHT.
Officers Are Hunting, But Without
Success.

Colchester, April 13.-No clue. to
the whereabouts of John Marx, on
whose farm the dismembered body of
his farml hand, Joseph Pavell, was
found last Friday, came to- Sheriff
jackson and his watchers who pa
trolled the roads in this district dur
ing the night. In spite of the fact
that Marx has not been seen since last
Sunday ana would seemingly have
had opportunities for escape from
this part of the country, there is a
strong belief on the part of the Off
GERS that he is still lurking about here.
He was seen by some children on
Sunday afternoon crossing a swamp
near what is known as the old Purcell
place. three or four miles south of
this village. Tt lis believed that he
also slept one night in barn on the
Purcell place, as: a handkerchief which
he is thought to have dropped was
found in a hay NOW there. The hand
kerchief was afterward identified as
belonging to Marx by a member of
the Goldstein family, at whose house
Marx clipped his beard. Particular
attention is being paid by the search
ers to this swamp, the theory being
that the fugitive hides there or in the
neighboring woods by day and is shell
tered by friends at night.

ARE FOR OLNEY.
Massachusetts, Delegates viii Vote
for Her Fayorite Som.

Boston, April 13.-Returns practical
ly complete from the state democratic
caucuses last night show that fully
tWO-thirds of the delegates chosen to
the state convention are pledged to
Richard Olney for the presidential
nomination. The remaining delegates
will support William r. Hearst. Oh
ney delegates We're chosen in all but
one ward in Boston and outside OF
this city delegates favoring him were
elected in all but three of the fourteen
congressional districts. These three
districts, the third, fifth and seventh,
known as the labor districts" de,
clared for Hearst. On this basis the
political leaders figure that Hearst will
receive from six to ten of the thirty
two delegates to the national conven-
ton from the state. The delegates at
large will be Olney men.
Hearst's strength developed particu-
larly in the manufacturing centers. He
carried the entire delegations In Haver-
hill and Taunton and a majority In
Worcester, Lynn, Lawrence. Fitchburg
and Fall River The towns generally
supported Olney. A feature of the
contest was the effort made in Dedham
to defeat George Fred Williams, who
had declared for Hearst, as delegate
to the state convention The Williams
Hearst ticket was elected 80 to. 60.

THAT DIVORCE nUDDLE.
Protestant Churches Reach a Tenta-
tive Agreement.

New York. April 13.-A tentative
agreement has been reached between
representatives of the principal Pro-
testant church denominations in secret
conference here by which it is hoped
to prevent the marriage Of divorced
person by minister of another church
if the marriage is forbidden by the
rules Of the church to which the per
son seeking remarriage belongs Pres
ent at the conference were Bishop
Doane, Bishop McVickar, Bishop Co
adjutor Greer. the Rev DIR John Fulton
of Philadelphia and delegates from the
Presbyterian, Methodist, Reformed
Lutheran, Baptist, Congregational and
reformed Presbyterian denomina-
tions.
A committee was appointed by
Bishop Doane to appeal to the public
on the "graye dangers of existing lax
ity in the frequency of divorces. =
The resolution adopted was as fol-
lows:
'sThat, In recognition Of the comfy
| which should exist between Christian
churches, it is desirable, and would
tend to increase the spirit of Christian
unity. for each church represented in
the conference to advise, and if ec-
clesiastical authority will allow, to en-
| join its ministers to refuse to unite In
! marriage any person or persons whose
marriage the ministers have good rea-

MIXED THESE nEN UP"
FATHER TAKEN FOR SON.
Strange Occurrence In Which Local Officers the Board
of Charities and the Kalaher Family Were Inter
ested--Young Kalaher Was to be Taken to Brook
side Home But the Father Was Taken In Mistake.

John Kalaher of High street, for a
long time afflicted with spinal trouble,
and who was supposed to be on the
road TO recovery, was removed to the
Brooksfde home last night. Owing to
long confinement and brooding over
MS troubles, he became melancholy,
and it was decided to give him a.
change. He is not bad and it Is
thought that with proper medical at
tent1on his mind will be all right again
in a few weeks
An amusing mistake occurred while
the work of removing the patient to
the Brookside home was on which re-
suited in Mr. Kalaher's father being
carried away instead of his son, and
the oversight was not noticed until
Regent Moran called attention to it,
the keeper being warned in advance
Of the newcomer and being sharp
enough to know when he saw him to
see that somebody had blundered He
telephoned to the office OF the board
of charities and inquired whether it
was. the old gentleman or the son that
had been sent to the institution and
then the matter was looked up and
Mr. kalaher given a ride back and the
young Ilan taken. When the carriage
was dispatched to the Kalaher resi-
Sullivan accompanied it to assist in
carrying the patient from the house to
the vehicle, not because he was vio-
lent, but on account Of his helpless
condition. When they reached the
house they inquired for Mr. Kalaher
and the family summoned the old gem
tleman, who was having a rest in the
kitchen after his days toll, put on his
coat and turned him over to the Off
GERS. He was put into the hack and
whirled away without word of pro-
test. The officers wondered what was
the matter with Mr. Kalaher, but so
long as he kept quiet they did not run
the risk of making trouble for them
selves by asking any questions, believ-
ing, as they had reason to, that his
mind was disturbed and that any refer
ence to his affiiction would be the sig
nal for confusion.
Not a word was spoken during the
trip, although the two officers held
themselves in readiness for active ser
vice at a moments notice, and when
they got to the big house they were
surprised to see how quietly he walked
into the house.
The officers do not share any re-
sponsibility for the mistake, neither
does the department of charities. They
claim the family knew that the in
valid was to be removed from the
house last evening and cannot under
stand how the mix-i1p occurred 1t
was probably case where all hands
were more or less excited and nobody
had the presence Of mind to explain,
not even the head of the house, who
tamely submitted to arrest without a
word of protest. This is the second
case of the kind that happened here
within the past few years. Not long
since Constable Car1nody and Roger
Connor got hold of the wrong man in
Brooklyn and he was confined at the
Brookside home for several hours be-
fore he was liberated

Yachtman,a strange Freaks.

NORFOLK, Va, April 13. After
frightening his friends and the crew
aboard his yacht, the Adrienne, H.
Mason Clapp, wealthy young Phila-
delphia lawyer, was taken from the
vessel on warrant charging him with
lunacy and sent to st. Vincent's hospi-
tal According to J. r. Colloren,
Clapp's companion on the yacht, one
of the diversions of the young lawyer
was to stick ten dollar bill in the
muzzIe of shotgun and challenge any
one on the yacht to remove it. He usu-
ally presented the muzzle of the gun
at the breast of the person challenged.
Shotgun in hand he thus paraded the
/, deck of the yacht day and night, his
eccentricities causing CONSERVATION

A CONSUMPTION CASE.
Physicians now Trying new Drug to
Prevent the Disease.

st Louis, Mo, April 1.-Two st
Louis physicians are using a new drug
in the treatment Of consumption.
While it has been used but short
time, the results so far are promising.
The remedy is a very powerful proteid,
which is found in healthy blood. The
theory Of the doctors is that consump-
ton can be thrown off by increasing
the carrying power Of the blood and
the use of the drug is intended to do
this.
. On April 2. the blood Of thirteen pa
tients was tested and the highest per-
centage shown was 53. The blood OF
these patients was tested again to-day
and the weakest showed 66 per cent.
The blood of every patient had i'm
proved from 10 to p per cent.
The drug is given internally, inhaled
in spray, or, in extreme cases, injected
hypodermically. It is very rapid in its
action, the effects being noticeable in
few days. One patient who was I'M
able to rise from bed, received the
treatment seven days and walked four
blocks and climed flight of stairs.

IS STILL IMPRISONED.
New York Diver has Answered No
Signals for Several Hours.

New York, April 13.The body of
William Hoar, the diver, who was
caught and held fast at the bottom of
the Jersey City reservoir at Boonton,
N. j.. on Monday afternoon. while en-,
deavoring to close a leak from an in
take pipe, had not been recovered to-
day. Although hope of bringing the
man TO the surface alive was practical
ly abandoned last evening, the air
pump was kept going all night, as
there was bare possibility that the
unfortunate man might be still alive.
Gangs of men relieved each other dur
ing the night at the pump. The men at
the pump will not stop work until the
diver has been brought to the surface.
Another gang Of men has been try
ing to close the conduit outside the
dam. The divers who had been trying
to rescue the unfortunate man stopped
work last night. as the suction was so
great that the huge ball Of wood and
lead which had been lowered to close
up the intake pipe and between which
and the f1ange of the pipe Hoar was
caught and held fast, could not be
moved because of, the suction. With
the object of reducing the suction bags
of sand were introduced into the fume
at various manholes and it is expected
that in this way the flow of water will
be stopped and the suction broken.
No signal from the imprisoned man
has been received since noon yesterday
and it is now believed tia it he has been
dead for several hours. An engineer
of the Jersey City Water Go said to-
day that no more work shall be done
by the divers at present, as they have
exhausted every possible effort to save

FREICHTS AT IT.
Two Trains on Highland
Division Collide Near
Naugatuck.

Naugatuck, April 13.-Two freight
trains came together at Osborne Town,
on the Highland division of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road, to-day, blocking the track for
several hours. No one was injured
The collision occurred at 6:15 this
morning, an east-bound freight rum
ming into west-bound freight. The
west-bound train was standing on the
main line and the other train should
have taken the switch, but through a
miscalculation on the part of the en-
gineer, failed to do so. Three or four
cars were thrown across the track.
The wreck was cleared after a few
hours
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-04-13

WESTON, Mass, April 49, Two
passenger trains on the Central Mas
sachusetts division of the Boston and
Maine railroad were in collision near
the local station here The locomotives
of both trains were demolished, one of
them being thrown from the track and
over a twenty foot embankment. None
of the passengers or trainmen was
dangerously injured, though many re-
ceived cuts and bruises. There is only
one track at this point, and the trains
pass each other on siding. The train
bound for Boston ran by the switch
and, failing to take the siding, crashed
into the outbound train, which was
standing on the main track
