that the young naval officer had as
saa'ted the girl and choked her n a

noored on the Jersey SIDE, and that
he r1Ted down the river. threw her

Miss Elizabeth B. Hardee Was Murdered
This Morning by Miss Sarah c.

ner, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Hardee, as they
lay in bed together this morning at the
fashionable Laurens preparatory school,
which they conducted at l07 Audubon

graduates Of Wellesley college in the

old.
They established the Laurens school

gave out shortly after and she was
obliged to retire to sanitarium. Last
night she appeared at the school, and
it was decided that Miss Hardee should
take her into her own room in hopes
Of keeping her quiet.
Nothing is known Of the occurrences
in the room, except the tale told by
two bodies which were found when the
matron of the school rushed into the
ROOM This morning after hearing two
shots. The friends lay dead, side by
side, and revolver lay on Miss Weeds
breast Miss Hardee was shot at the
base of the brain and Miss Weed in
the right temple.
The medical examiner reported that
it was a case Of murder and suicide.
Both probably died instantly.

Barre Conditions Remain the
Same as Yesterday
QUINCY POLISHERS AGREE
On Settlement With Manufacturers and
Returned to Work. This Morning,
Says Quincy Paper Conditions
Not Made Public.

Ii the old saying that mo news is
good news" applies to the present tie-up
Of the granite industry in Barre, then
there is only good news to report to-
day, for as matter Of fact there is
absolutely not even line Of news to
tell Of the situation. To illustrate
local conditions, the following story is
told:
A farmer and his wife who had lived
all their lives in the backwoods Of Ham
ilton county. thirty miles from 4 rail
road, had heard much Of them and the
fast express trains, but had never seen
them. When the crops we're in for the
fall they decided to journey to the Mo.
hawk valley and take a look at the
Empire State Express, which they had
read so much Of Arrived at their des-
tination, they watched for the approach
OF the train, which, when it came into
view caused the farmer to exclaim:
-Manda, they cannot stop herln when
the train came to a standstill al the
station, hand.in- hand the two ventured
up to view the huge locomotive, and the
close inspection caused the farmer to
again exclaim, @Manda, they will never
be able to start it but with few
pufls the train was soon on its way,
moving as smoothly as If there had
never been a stop
Before the suspension OF work in
Barre. it was said there would be no
stopping Of work -there couldn't be--btit
there Was. Now it looks as if there
wasn't any chance for settlement, but
the wise counsels that have always pre-
vailed in Barre viii soon find way
for settlement and the sheds will Be
running again as if nothing had hap
pened But to-day everything is at a
standstill and it Is hard to see how this
Is to come about, for the situation isn't
changed particle from what it was
a week ago.
The quarrymen at Graniteyille are to
have q regular meeting this evening at
Graniteville and Jumpers, boxers and
derrickmen will have meeting this
evening in Carpenters hall, Nichols
