mu1der Mysteries 80 Numerous of Late That the Police Are Con-
 pletely BafIed
FOUR CRIMES COMMITTED
Only One Arrest Has Been Made Thus Far in Any of the
 Cases.

Boston, July 2S.-Rarely since the establishment of the Massachusetts state police have the officers of that department been called upon to in vestigate at one time such a series Of mysteries as they are now at work upon. The cases, some of which, un- der the work done by local authori- ties have developed strong evidence of murder, are in widely separated sections of the state and to meet the situation Chief Shaw has been com- pelled to assign large proportion of his regular force.
 The mysteries under investigation include the disappearance of Miss Winzola M. Goodell who has been missing from her home in Belcher- town for more than three weeks; the probable murder of 12-years-old John Streub, whose body was found recently in the woods near Housa- tonic; the death by poisoning of Charles T. Smith at Westfield last Friday, and the supposed murder of little Arthur Hoxie, 3 years old, at his home at Sandwich yesterday.
 Of the four crimes under investi- gation only one has resulted in an ar rest. Arthur c. Hoxie of Sandwich, the father of the boy who died in that village, 1t is alleged. from blow given in punishment. has been taken into custody.
 Despite the fact that hundreds have aided the state and county au- thorities in their attempt to find the body of Miss Goodell, the case re- mains unsolved and the circum- stances surrounding her disappear ance are a subject of conjecture. While some hold to theory of mur- der or suicide, others believe 1t to be . case of elopement.
 The police have made greater prog ress on the suspected murder of young Streub than in any of the oth- CT crimes and Deputy Chief Neal of the state police is authority for the statement that an arrest will be made within few days. Am inquest will be held tomorrow.
 The death of Charles l.. Smith came to the notice of the authorities on account of indications that poison which resulted fatally last Friday was not self-administered. The police claim that they have a clue to the identity of the supposed murderer and while that is being developed an analysis of Smiths stomach Is being made.

SMALLPOX IN NEW BRITAIN.
Disease Probably Contracted Else where and All Precautions Taken.

New Britain. July 23.-A case of smallpox was discovered in this city yesterday and the house was at once Quarantined. The victim Is Howard Jones, a young man about 19 years of age. of No 456 West Main street. who returned a week ago Saturday from a nine days visit at Catskill. N. '. There are cases of smallpox in that vicinity and 1t is thought that he contracted the disease there.
 After Jones returned he was soon taken i'll and several physicians were called. They became suspicious that 1t was case of smallpox and called in Health Officer w. w. Bracket Saturday. The doctor took the same view of the case and summoned pr Townsend of New Haven. secretary of the state board of health, here yes terday. The diagnosis was that 1t was unmistakably smallpox.
 Jones lives with his father, B. w. Jones, who is employed by the Lati- mer laundry as a driver. The family live upstairs in the house, while rela- tives of the family live down stairs. The down stairs people were given a chance to leave the house by the health officer before 1t was quaran- tined. but they preferred to remain.
 Special 0fiicer Kennedy was at once stationed to guard the house. and he will be relieved by eight hour shifts of other officers.
 The officials are glad that the dis ease was not contracted here and they hope to blot 1t out by preventing the spread of 1t from this case. Ii was about three years ago that the city had an epidemic of the disease and an expensive isolated hospital at the town farm was built after that to be ready In case of emergency. If there is any indication of the disease spreading the hospital will be brought into use.

RUSSELL SAGE DEAD
Americas Great Money Lender
 Pays Last Debt.
EXPIRES SUDDENLYATSUMNERHONE
Immediate Cause of "Uncle Russell's'p Death Was Heart Failure Inci- dent to Strenuous Life of
 Ninety Years.

LAWRENCE, N. Y., July 23.-Rus. sell Sage, New York's great veteran inancier, died suddenly yesterday aft ernoon at his country home here. Ce- darcroft.
 The immediate cause of death was heart failure resulting from compli- cation of diseases incident to old age. The veteran f1nancier would have celebrated his ninetieth birthday on Aug. 4. MT. Sage had been in excep- tionally good health since his arrival at his summer home about six months ago. At noon he was seized with 8 sinking spell and collapsed rapidly, falling into unconsciousness about two hours before bis death, which occurred at 4:30 o'clock.
 There were present at the end Mrs. Sage. her brother Colonel J. J. Slo- cum: the Rev. pr. Robert Leetch, Dr. Theodore s. Janewoy of New York, Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, a local physician, and Dr. John r. Mum, for many years Mr. sage's family physician, who was sum- moned from New York when the first alarming symptoms were manifest.
 Mrs. Sage and her brother, Colonel Slocum, are named as the executors of Mir. Sage's will.
 Russell Sage. who was looked upon as the greatest of American money lenders, was born in Shenandoah, Onei- da county, N. Y., on Aug. 4, 1S16; was reared on farm and began business as an errand boy in his brothers gro cery store in Troy. He rose to clerk, later acquired wholesale business and became an alderman of Troy.
 Becoming interested in railways, he moved to New York during the war and started buying and selling priv ileges" in Wall street.
 At the close of the civil war he. was reputed to be worth $8.OOO, ,O00
 Mir. Sage was the principal manipu- lator In the Union Pacific railway con solldation scheme with Jay Gould, and he became the controlling power in the elevated railroads and opposed the abo- lition of the coal oil lamps.
 He usually paid SIP suit for hls clothes and wore three suits a year. His daily luncheon downtown cost 20 cents.
 A bomb was thrown at him by man named Norcross in 1891. He used Walter Laidlaw, clerk. as shield. and Laidlaw sought payment for the injuries he received, but Mir. Sage won out in the lawsuits.
 He got out of sick bed to loan mon- ey when rates were high and made $555 In one day.
 At the time of his death he was es- timated to be worth $100.O00. 900, prin- cipally in railroad securities.
 He was director In about fifty large railway and other corporations and had beautiful home on Fifth avenue.
 The funeral services will be held on Wednesday at the West Presbyterian church in West Forty y-second street. New York. of which Mir. Sage had been a member for many years. The interment will take place fin Troy on Thursday.
