MURDERED ON WEDDING DAY.
Despondent Father Kills Daughter and

Boston, Mass.-Joseph 2. Townsend

Woodville street, Everett.
The young woman was to have been
married to Francis E. Perry, of Fort
Myers, Fla, in the Peoples Temple
here at 6 o'clock at night, and it is
believed that the father, VINO had
been respondent over the approaching
wedding, became unbalanced AMI took
her life and his own.
Townsend was formerly mate of a
vessel sailing out of Boston and came
originally from Baltimore. His daugh-
ter vas employed as a stenographer in
a Boston music store. She was a
popular girl in Everett, was an &C.
tive worker in church circles and, as
her mother vas dead, had charge of
the home.
During the afternoon Townsend sent
his son joseph to East Boston on an
errand in connection with the we'd
ding, and '..hen the boy returned at

couch, breathing family. He tried to
revive the girl with brandy, but failed
to do so, and before a doctor could
reach the house she died.
Townsend is thought to have shot
the girl in the head with a 20 calibre
rifle while she lay asleep on the couch
and then killed himself with e revolver,
both weapons being found beside his
body. On a table was this note in the
fathers handwriting:
"At $40 l have taken my daughters
life and my own. l do this rather than
see her the wife of Francis Perry"
So far as can be learned, Townsend
bore Perry no ill will. but had spoken
in tom; O. regret that his daughter
was to marry and leave home.

-Loss 81,

Newport, r. 1.-The p%alatial steamer
Plymouth, of the Fall River Line, was
burned to the waters edge at the Fall
River Line pier here, causing a loss of
$1,5O0,O00
The whole city Of Newport and Long
Island Sound for a distance of many
miles were lighted up by the flames,
| which leaped hundreds of feet in the
| air from the magnificent steamboat,
one of the largest and finest in the
world.
The Fall River passenger station and
several other buildings at the wharf
were destroyed by the fire commune
Gated to them from the burning vessel.
The steamer City of Lowell, moored
in the same slip, caught fire several
times, and was only saved from COM
| plete destruction by tugs towing her
! out into the stream. She was badly
scorched and was damaged to the eX-
tent of $4,000.
The steamboats, Priscilla, Puritan
and Nantucket were in danger also;
and were towed out of range of the
intense heat. Tie Puritan caught fire
| and the decks were scorched, but the
damage was not great.
! While the flames from the burning
vessel and wharf buildings were light
ing up the whole Sound, the steamer
Pilgrim. from New York. passed on
her trip to Fall River. The boat was
due to stop at Newport, but a wireless
message was sent to her from the
United States Torpedo Station here
directing her not to stop, and the YES
sci continued on her way to Fall River.
-Four firemen were asleep ON the
Plymouth when the fire started. Three
were rescued with difficulty. One man
fell into the water, but was pulled out.
One life was lost, that of Louis Le-
Mont, a fireman ON the Plymouth,
whose home is believed to be IN New
York. His partially charred body was
found in the hulk.
The heat from the burning vessel WAS
so intense that men We're unable to
venture near to fight the flames. Men
on ~tugioats risked their lives when
they attached lines to the other steam
ers and pulled them out of reach OF
the fire.
Above the doomed vessel to a height
of 200 feet extended the great shears
of steel. used for hauling machinery
out of boats. The great heat twisted
and melted the steel until the mass Of
metal bent, then fell into the water
with a hiss that was heard above the
roar of the flames, and sending up 4
great cloud of steam.
The Plymouth was moored at the
pier at the end of the Long Wharf
undergoing repairs preparatory to be.
ing placed in the passenger trade be-
tween New York and Fall River as
soon as the spring season opened.
At 3 O'Clock a. N. the Plymouth had
burned to the waters edge, and the
charred hull contained only a lot of
smoldering embers, all that remained
of II of the largest and most finely
equipped steamboats, in the world.
How the fire started is not known.

KILLED BY FALLING WALL.
Four Firemcn Crushed to reath In
New York City
Six Story Building in Did Greenwich vii
1age DESTROYED and Many Are Injured
Two Score Houses Burned.

New York City.-Four firemen met
death in a fire that destroyed nearly an
entire block in old Greenwich Village,
this city.
Property valued at nearly $400,OO0
was destroyed, the lives of scores were
endangered and the accident wards of
st. Vincent's Hospital were filed with
the injured.
Public School 113, half a block away
from the fire, was menaced by the
flames, but the children, all in the
primary grades, were dismissed with
out disorder, bearing testimony to the
efficacy Of the schools fire drill.
All the dead firemen belonged to En-
CINE Company IA. The four of them
died together, one of them being Cap
tain Walsh. They were OIL the roof
Of No. 60 Carmine street, on the outer
edge Of the fire, when the roof coli
lapsed, the fire having eaten away the
supporting timbers. They had received
warning by the collapse of the house
next to them of their danger, but al
remained at their post until swallowed
up in the maelstrom of flame that
surged up when t e roof fell in.
The dead: George B. Christman. Jr.;
Thomas f. Halpin, killed by falling
wall; Dennis j. Healey, killed by fall
ing wall; John T. Walsh, foreman.
Many more than those who appear
on the hospital records were injured.
Nearly a score of girls were hurt in
the mad rush from the buildings near
those destroyed. as well as those that
were burning. The most seriously in
jured, nearly all of them firemen,
were taken to st. V~incent's Hospital.
More than two score buildings were
entirely or partially destroyed.
The fire, which wiped out many
buildings that had stood almost long
enough to become landmarks, started
in the seven-story brick factory build
ing at the southwest corner of Bed
ford and Downing streets. 1t was
started, so far as is yet known, by an
explosion of celluloid or benzine.
There would have been greater loss
of life had not most of the 400 en-
ployes of the concern which occupied
the building been at luncheon when the
fire started. Those in the building
were first alarmed by a flash of fire
and a defamation. Then from the
factory ran scores of hysterical women.
In an instant the fire escapes were
crowded by a lass of men and women,
some of the men fighting the women
with all their strength for places of
advantage. Below the fire escape on
the first floor policemen stood, and. by
forming a human pyramid, took down
to the ground in safety more than 100
girls. The men jumped.
From the third floor, where the fire
started, two girls ran to the windows
and screamed that they would jump.
Policemen Radsky and Rheinish called
to the girls to go to the rear fire escape.
They obeyed and were saved.

FOOD HELPS
In Management of a II. ]

Speaking of food a railroad man
says:
"My work puts me out in all kinds of
weather, subject to irregular hours for
meals and compelled to eat all kinds of
food.
"For 7 years 1 was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eating
heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly
cooked food, such as are most accessl-
BILE to men in my business. Generally
each meal or lunch was followed by
distressing pains and burning sensa.
tons in my stomach, which destroyed
my sleep and almost untitled me for
work. My brain was so muddy and
foggy that it was hard for me to dis.
charge my duties properly.
This lasted till about a year e
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad.
and / concluded to try it. Since then
I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev.
cry meal and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food in our ca
bosses and 1 find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy for it is ready cooked.

AS Safe Gs u Balloon"

During the last twenty years, says
the Manchester Guardian, 2O61 balloon
and airship ascents have taken place
in Germany, and only thirty-six &C.
cidents have befallen the 1870 per-
IONS taking part in them. That is to
say, n trip in fifty-seven to
grief, or one aeronaut in 210 meets
with an accident, a casualty rate of
less than one-half per cent.
In spite Of these alluring statistics
most of us will be prevented by various
circumstances from taking up balloon
ing as a sport, and we are more in
terested in the fact that ballooning is
safer than motoring in another sense
safer to other people.
The whole 2061 trips, we are told,
have only produced two cases of acct
dents to persons other than the occu-
pants of the car.
