Rev. Francis A. Poole, formerly pastor
Of the Congregational church in this city
was on Tuesday installed as pastor Of
the Union church in Worcester Mass.
After Mr. Pooles statement Of faith,
the installing council voted TO proceed

there was considerable Of a sentiment
in favor Of doing away with the formal
procedure because Of the satisfactory
statement by the minister This discus
sion is told about by the Worcester Tele-
gram of yesterday, us follows:
$50 comprehensive was Rev. Mr..
Poole's statement Of faith, and so firmly
did his brethren believe Ii bis creed,
that Rev. Dir Archibald McCuIagh would
have the council lay aside all precedent
in this matter and accept it then and
there, without the usual formula Of the
council retiring, as is its traditional
usage in exercises of this nature.
REV Thomas = Babb Of Holden the
moderator, said that while that would
be perfectly right on this occasion, when
everything was 50 satisfactory, it might
not be 20 on all occasions, and therefore
no distinctions ought to be made.
The council and Dir. McCullagh, there
fore. accepted the old form Of procedure,
and the private council took place"
After the close Of its deliberations,
the council voted 70 install Rev. Mr..
Poole, announcement having been made
by Rev. Thomas e. Babb Of Holden.
Mass, who spoke Of the words OF praise
offered by those who knew the pastor
in boyhood and manhood 81 his splendid
worth, courage, fidelity and eloquence."
Rev. John 1. Sewall then read the pro-
gram for the installation Rev. Dr..
Dewitt s. Clark Of Salem preached the

fire department was called BY telephone,
and the neighbors set to work getting
the goods out Of the top story Of the
house until the fremen arrived. Four
horses were hitched onto the chemical
engine to draw it up the hin, and the
contents Of the engine were played onto
the flames, which were then roaring
around the chimney and III many places
in the roof, The flames had too much
headway for the chemical to stop them,
and as soon as It was seen that the
water would not run from the hose,
which had been run from the hydrant,
all hope Of saving the building had to
be given up, and the firemen and the
crowd set to work and quickly had every
thing Of value removed from the house
from the top to the cellar
As the fire started around the chimney
in the roof, the flames had To work

WOMAN MURDERED
NEAR TROY, N. \,

Of Crime. Body Found by Little
Girls Who Stumbled Over It.

Troy, N. Y., Nov. is. The body Of
Caroline D Gorgan, aged 27 years old

Albany county, across the river from
Troy, was found late yesterday in a
clunlp Of bushes in lonely part Of the

the result Of powerful drug admin
istered. Search is being mnde for d man
who is said to have been with Miss
Gorgan Tuesday afternoon.

family, was employed in the collar and
shirt factory Of Cluett, Peabody& Co.. in
this city. She left her home Tuesday
morning for the factory and, is Tues
day is pay day, collected her wages at
noon and returned home. There was

she left presumably TO do some shop
ping on call on friends. She did not re-
turn home at night This was unusual
and when report was made Of the find
ing Of body yesterday afternoon iden-
ifieation followed.
II is the theory Of the police that Miss

taken to the lonely spot where il was
later discovered.

that inst under the eye. The autopsy
performed on the body Of Miss Gorgon
