Rev Mother Mary Agnes, superior of the Sisters of Mercy of the Hart ford community, died suddenly at Hamilton Heights at 5 o'clock yes iterday afternoon of heart failure. She had been in her usual health and had gone to Hamilton Heights in connec- |tion with work being done there and died with little or no warning. She was for l6 years superior of the Sis Iters of Mercy and hade410 under her direction. She was born in Wood- bury in 1S42 and was known in the world as Miss Mary J. Welch. She entered religion at St Francis Xav- lier's convent, Providence, R. l., on lSeptember 8, 1860, and was pro- lfessed in 1863. Her first appointment iof note was as local superior at St
 Patrick's convent at New Haven,
 where she was also principal of the
 Hamilton street school. In 1882 she
 served her first term as superior or

 and at the close of this term was
 again chosen head of her community

 was the superior of St Francis or plan asylum in New Haven, she was iagain chosen superior and was serv- ing her sixth term when she died.
 Mother Agnes was known in the church as possessing executive abili- ty of a high order and it was through her efforts that the first building oc-
 cupied by St Mary's Home for the Aged in West Hartford was erected. |She was devoting her energies to the
 work of forming the school for young

MOTORMEN'STROUBLES
Two Sides of the Question For
 Them 10 Look Al.

Expressions of opinion regarding responsibility for disregard of the speed ordinance by trolley cars have been heard quite frequently since the arrest of one of the motormen, and nearly everybody you hear discuss the question thinks, it would be quite proper to bring the officials into court instead of the employees. For in stance in case saloon is found open after hours the officer enters a com plaint against the proprietor and not the bartender. And the fact that the boss was home in bed at the time and declared that he had frequently eau toned his clerk not to keep open af- ter hours would not amount to any thing. The proprietor would have to settle for violation of the excise law and the bartender might be fined for being in the place at an unreasonable time. Things seem to work the other way with the trolley people. The of ficials claim they don't want the mo- tormen to exceed the speed limit, but the motormen while not saying so for publication, insist that there is no other way to keep up with the procession except by evasion of the ordinance. In any case it appears to the unini- tiated that the owners of the road and not the employees are the ones to look to- The motormen are between the devil and the deep sea. If they fail to make the cars ''go' they are apt to lose their jobs, and inScase they do hurry up and get caught they are hauled into court and fined.

KILLED ON TRACK
Came Here on Brand For
 O'Brlen Construction Co.

Michael Murphy, man about 20 years of age, was hit by a train on the Highland division, near the crematory. last night, and instantly killed. It is supposed that the acci- dent occurred when the train due here at 9:35 was passing that point. but it is possible that 1t might have occurred earlier. In any case when Conductor Sexton's train reached Waterbury he telephoned to the switching station in Waterville that it was thought man had been killed there. The west bound freight kept lookout for the body and dis covered it at II o'clock and left brakeman to watch 1t until Medical Examiner Crane arrived, who made an investigation and ordered the body removed to Mulville's morgue. The dead man was an employe Of the O'Brien Construction Go. He was working at the steam shovel be- tween Greystone and Waterville and boarded with Timothy Cronan at Hancock Station. Yesterday the steam shovel broke down and Mur- phy was given an order on the Farrel Foundry and Machine Co for some castings. This and some other things were found in his pockets. in cluding letter from Barbara Dwyer of 593 East 135th street, New York, in which mention Is made of his sis 1 ter, Margaret. The letter was writ ten shortly after Easter, the opening paragraph stating that she had re- ceived his letter and was glad to hear that he had spent a pleasant Easter and made it point to attend church. Some of the dead mans fel- low workmen said to-day that he was a very steady fellow and that they could not account for his presence on the track at that time. The princi-
 pal injury consisted of deep gash on his left jaw near the mouth. At
 his boarding house card was dis covered which showed that he is a member in good standing of Chester aerie, F. o. E., No 159, Chester, Pa.
 President M. J. O'Hearn of the local
 aerie has taken the matter in hand
 and communicated with the organ
 ization at Chester. MT Mulville, the
 undertaken. has notified the dead
 mans sister at New York.
 | Medical Examiner Crane said this
 afternoon that there was nothing to
 report except that so far as he could
 learn the man was killed by the 9:15 1 train,

LIQUOR CASES TO-DAY
Man With Many Names a Wit
 ness Against David Sheehy.

One of the most peculiar liquor cases that ever happened was heard by Judge Bnrpee in the city court to-day. The accused was David Sheehy of Baldwin street and tho ac- cuser was colored man who said his name was George Henry Wash- ington Wilberforce Jefferson Prince Albert Sharpe and his home is In Wa terville. He made several stute- ments regarding his employment. First he said he was employed by the Benedict X Burnham company, a mo- ment later he said he was working for the Randolph-Clowes company and the next moment that he wns working in Waterville and lastly he was not working just at present. It finally developed however, that he is working in Waterville now. Last Sunday he said, he left home | about o'clock and came to town about 7:30 on trolley car. Another colored man named Truman Stead man and one Ernest Rowe of Winsted or Torrington, were with him. First they called at John Dence's on South Willow or Livery street, and drank half dozen beers. Then they went to Frank McKeon's saloon on South Main street and had glass of beer there, and it was about 10:30 when they reached Sheehy's. In the eel lar in Sheehy's place they had more | drink. Brief as this statement is, 1t took Attorney Guilfoile, counsel for Sheehy, long time to get it from Sharpe.
 In the first place Mir Guilfoile suc- ceeded in confusing the man great deal Sharpe admitted at one time that he did mt know whether it was last Sunday q the Sunday before that he was in Shehy's. Neither was he certain thai it was in Torrington Rowe lived.
 Mir Guilfile claimed the witness was winkin at Prosecutor Pierce and Sharpe denhd this. He said it was habit of hs and to satisfy Mir Guil- foile that he was not in collision with the rosecutor Sharpe turned his back on te audience and questioner.
 SharpeRas asked why he made the complaiHa and he said 1t was because 1 he consjered it his duty. Mir Gull
 foile trid to ascertain if he was paid
 to do st but his questions were ruled
 out.
 "Wht is your name anyway" he
 asked he witness.
 | "Ge.ge Henry Washington Will
 berfoje Jefferson Prince Albert
 SharI," was his answer.
 "H you ever tell that name to
 anyIly before" he was asked. | ~ said the witness, If I did
 guei I'd drop dead" and everybody
 laufed.
 l Tlman's story was a corrobora-
 tloiof Sharpes.
 | ltorney Guilfoile asked for the
 diharge of Sheehy, claiming the
 evence of such men as tne witness
 eswas not reliable. but the court
 sd there was q prima facie case. It
 ys however, adjourned to Monday
 give counsel time to look into
 harpe's record
 Y Dence was then charged with sell. hg liquor on Sunday to Sharpe and Truman. The evidence was substan- 'tlally the same as in Sheehy's, as far 'as it concerned the visit to Dence's house. But Dence denied the men paid for the drink. he claiming they were his friends and therefore he did not accept any money. This case was also continued to Monday.

Ordinance Being Rigidly Enforced in
 Waterbury Just Now.

While you do not hear much about 1t. yet 1t Is a fact that never before fin the history of Waterbury was so much efrort put forward to enforce the ordinance regarding the carrying of concealed weapons as at the pres ent time. Every person suspected Is held up and searched and as a conse- quence many who never thought of going outside doors or even to bed un- armed. hesitate now about putting weapons in their back pockets on the way to work. If this Is kept up 1t will be a good thing for the whole community and especially for the misguided mortals who think 1t nee essary to go armed in a town like Waterbury.
