two trust cases, one involving the Omaha

tain customers who complained because of
the short weights. IT says the remedy is

MERIDEN Centennial
CELEBRATION BEGINS
RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT THE
CHURCHES INAUGURATE
THE OPENING.

Great Outpouring of the People--DecO-
ratiOns ON an Elaborate Scale-Vis-
itOrs to the City Very Large-Elec-
tricaI Display Turned on Last Night
for the First Time--Grand Spectacle.
Meriden, June 10-Religious services
in all the city churches, at which the
sermons for the most part were of a
historical character, dealing more espe-
cially with the growth of church work
in the community, ushered in the
weeks celebration of the centennial of
Meriden. The outpouring of people to
attend the services was in itself quite
a feature of the morning. In the aft
ernoon the number of visitors to the
city was noticeaIbly large, due in part
to the fact that the convention Of Ger
man Catholics opened and the members
of the Southern New England Turner
bund held reunion at Scheutzen park,
and a grand concert in Turner hall. The
decorations for the week We're complet-
ed yesterday, and are of an elaborate
character, entire streets in the business
section being mass of color. Tonight
the electrical illuminations were turned
on, and the effects We're very fine, the
sharp storm of the late afternoon not
having done any damageto the designs.
The afternoon church services We're Of
union character held in the First
Congregational church with the Rev.
DR., Lyman ABBOTT of New York as the
speaker. The music was by the COM
bined choirs Of the city directed by
George c. Marble, the chief selections
rendered being The Heavens are Tell
ing from Haydn's Creation" and
Great and Marvellous from Gauls
Holy City" The prelude to the SER
vice was "Old Hundred from an air
written in 1851, and rearranged and
dedicated to the centennial. Most of
the pastors OF the Protestant churches
We're present at this service, and Rev.

Baptist church took part. In introduce

Rev. A. j. Lord, said that forty-five

to Dr., Abbott, then occupying one of
his first pastorates in Indiana. He de-
clined then, as he had not accomplish
ed certain work that he set out to do.
Now, forty-five years later, the city ex-
tended call to Dr. Abbott to preach
its centennial sermon, and he had ac-
cepted. During the interval, from a
young unknown preacher DR.. Abbott
had become one of the foremost men of

TUCKER TO Be BAPTIZED
TO RECEIVE RITES OF CHURCH
BEFORE ELECTROCUTIOM
Notable Exception In His Case-Con-
trary to Custom---He VIII Not Pay
the Forfeit OF His Crime EARLY This
MOrning-No Member Of Family
Makes Sabbath Visit.

Boston, June 10.-Charles l.. Tucker,
who, in the death house Of the state
prison at Charlestown, is awaiting ex-
ecution for the murder of Mabel Page,
has at least one more day of life. Con-
trary to custom Tucker will not pay
the forfeit Of his crime early Monday
morning. The warden Of the state pris
on, who has charge of all the details
connected with the execution, will not
say when the sentence of the court will
be carried out, but 1t is known positive
ly that Tucker will not be executed be-
fore midnight tomorrow night. The
warden is authorized under the law to
select any time between the hours of
midnight and sunrise in the week that
began to-day.
1t is understood that the reason there
will be no execution early tomorrow
morning is In order that the condemn
ed youth may tomorrow receive the
rites of baptism. Rev. Thomas Bishop
(Methodist), former pastor of the
condemned man, and who is acting as
his spiritual adviser, will perform the
service.
No member of fuckers family visit
ed the death house to-day. 1t Is under
stood that the last farewells were spok-
en- yesterday, and that the father,
mother and brother of the prisoner will
not again visit the prison.
During the day Tucker was visited
by three Of his counsel, James H. Va
hey Thomas F. Vahey and Philip
Mansfield. The prisoner now realizes
that all hope of preventing the execu-
ton is gone, and apparently he is re-
signed to his fate. He still maintains
stoutly that he is innocent. His re-
markable calmness and courage has not
deserted him, although he no longer ap-
pears buoyant and hopeful,
In the four previous cases where pris-
oners have been electrocuted at the
state prison the execution has taken
place between midnight Sunday and
sunrise Monday, and fuckers case,
therefore. is notable exception. So
much secrecy of necessity surrounds the
execution of condemned man in Mas
sachusetts that no details Of the ar
rangements are obtainable.
1t is the general eblief however, that
the reason there will be no execution in
the morning is in order that Tucker
may he baptized.

FOUR ITALIANS ARRESTED.
Solution Of Mysterious Murder Of Wom-
an May Result.

New York, June 10.-Four Italians
were arrested here to-day and remand
ed to the coroner until the story told
by one of them, which tends to offer a
solution of the mysterious murder OF
Mrs. Alice Kinnan in the Bronx Friday
night, can ge more thoroughly inyestl-
gated. Mrs. Kinnan was called to the
door of the home of her mother, Mrs,
Stanton, with whom she had been ltv-
ing since a separation had been granted
her from her husband, by the ring of a
bell. No sooner had she opened the
door than she was struck down by a
heavy bolt fiercely welded by an un-
known man.
To-day Carlo Marino, a saloonkeeper,
told the police he knew something OF
the murder. Friday night, he said, he
and Doninick Compolo, Theodore Skal-
la and Thomas Farina quarreled over
a girl who was one of the party. Ma
rino declared Compolo threatened him
with a bolt similar to that with which
Mrs. Kinnan was killed and with which
Compolo, night Watchman, usually
was armed. During the quarrel the In
forrnant of the police says the girl
broke away and fled into the yard of
Mrs. Stanton's home. When the men
separated soon afterward, 1t is alleged,
Compolo went into Mrs. Stanton's yard
and it is the theory Of the authorities
that he thought the girl might have
sought refuge in the house. When all
the men had been arrested Marino
weakened somewhat in his story and
said he may have been mistaken as to
some of the features. Most of the men,
however. gave details as to the quarrel
and Compolo's action afterwards, which
,ed the magistrate before whom they
avere arraigned to hold them for the
coroner, as witnesses at least, until
something more defnitee is learned.
Marino and Farina, both of whom have
good regulations, were later released on
bail
