WAS FALSE ALARM.
Mrs Kingsbury Says Telegram Didn't
 Come from Her Husband.


 Come from Her Husband.
 Frederick Kingsbury, the trolley express agent who has been missing from his home at 1251 East Main street, has not yet returned to this city. Neither has his wife much hope of seeing him for time al least. The telegram which was sup posed to have been sent by him from Boston last evening did not come from her husband. so Mrs Kingsbury said this afternoon When seen at her home.
 "Yes, I received telegram, but it was signed a friend. It read: Fred was here; gone; will be home tomorrow. Nothing was said about the time. and although Mrs Kingsbury is hoping for the best, she Is not inclined to believe that he will return to-day. She is Tauch de- pressed about the absence of her husband.
 Although Kingsbury. who left his car at Cheshire about 3 o'clock Mon day afternoon, was thought to be in the vicinity of Cheshire, the tele- gram from Boston last night shows that evidently he has been there The man is thought to be demented.
 NJ. J. Leary was here yesterday looking over Kingsbury's accounts, but he refused to state in what con- dition he found the books.

Reference was made to minor proposed innovations in the order suggested by the church off cials. The dining room was hand somely decorated in national colors.
 To-day the program includes ex- ercises at the exposition grounds, and will be known as Knights of Columbus day.

An Edict Issued by the English
 Board of Trade.

New York, Aug. S.-An edict has just been issued by the English board of trade which bids fair to cause all kinds of confusion tempor- arily among English shipping.

 There are few ports in the world where the change will be more no- ticeable than in New York. where craft of British registry predominate and "best guessess' as to the future names of two out of three Virginians eleven Vestas, six Normans, four Oceanics, two. Cedrics, six Majestics i've Maltas, two Mallards, two Nal agas, eleven Rescueus, eleven Reso- lutes, three St Lawrences. two St Louis, etc.. are in order. As yet plans for the change have not been completely formulated, but 1t Is ex- pected that among vessels of any one name the vessel of the heaviest ton mage will be permitted to retain its presen designation.
