Negro Baby Has Red Hair.

New York, Jan. 12.-The case of
Lucita Carpenter, a negress of Oyster

change she became the mother of a
son, who was born with red hair, al
though his skin was black.

that he was obliged to give up his long
pedestrian stunts. He used to boast of
his endurance as a walker, and he was
ready to match up with many younger
man. His latest real hard athletic per-
formance was the ascent and descent of
Camels Hump, and he was long past
three score and ten when he did It. An
other proud boast was his record as a
voter, having rarely missed a town meet
ing since he took the freeman's oath.
During his 90 years and over, Mr..
Wood has seen Barre change from strag-
Cling settlements into progressive city,
and his friends recall that he used to
tell Of Barre when he could see, from
his slightly residence OH Prospect street,
only 35 houses between the old covered
bridge north of Jockey hollow to the
mill in Twingville He was born in
that settlement which was known as
Gospel village, where the old Congrega-
tional westinghouse once stood and
where the new Camp street school now
stands.

ably well, and they performed the little
home duties, unaided. Above all things,
they were regular at their meals, and
early at them, too, for as sure as the
clock ticked 5:45 each morning one
might find them sitting down to the
breakfast prepared and served by Mrs.
Wood. The latter is still active, al
though we'll toward 90 years of age

CAPTAIN STUCK TO SHIP.
He Has Probably Been DrOwned-crew
Rescued.

New York, Oct. 25.--Seven sailors res
cued from the sinking four-masted
schooner Hollis Wood, lumber laden,
from New Orleans for New York, were
brought into Perth Amboy, NJ j., yes
terday by the Norwegian steamship
Harald, commanded by Capt. +. A. Berg.
Capt j.. B, Walls OF the Inflated
schooner declined to desert his ship and
has in all probability been drowned.
"Fll stick to her, boy" said Captain
Walls to some of the crew members,
who wanted to remain with him on the
half-flled and slowly sinking schooner.
The Hollis Wood was overtaken by a
storm on October l3. Finally Captain
Walls ordered the foremast cut down,
The storm continued and the crew threw
overheard some of the lumber.
The water continued to pour into the
hold of the vessel however, and after
three days the crew We're beginning to
despair of their lives, when the steam
ship Harald hove in sight and sent a
boat to take them off.
The Hollis Wood was half filled with
water when the rescue was made. One
by one the crew of the sinking schooner,
who impored the captain to abandon the
vessel, took farewell of their command
er and climbed aboard the hfeboat and
were rowed to the Harald.
Capt Walls hailed from Bath, Me,
and has been master of the Hollis Wood
for several years. One of the members
of the crew suffered broken leg in the
course of the storm, when a high wave
threw him against the side of the Hollis
Wood. He was taken to a hospital on

ception by crushing crowd of baseball
fans headed by Mayor Reyburn.
Although extra precautions had been
taken to prevent the crowd from enter
ing the Pennsylvania railroad station,
the Athletic rooters outgeneraled the
railroad officials, Huge gates had been
erected at the entrances to Broad street
station and no person was allowed to
reach the train floor who did not have
railroad ticket Not to be outdone
by this piece Of strategy, hundreds of
the most ardent admirers OF the cham.
pons lined up at the ticket windows
and purchased tickets to nearby sta
tions, thereby outwitting the railroad
officials and at the same time crowding
the big station to oyerhowing. A hurry
eall was sent to nearby police stations
and about 800 policemen were soon On
The scene and kept the crowd back from
the entrances. When the train pulled
into the station, the players had to
almost fight their way to the street
Here in waiting were twenty automo-
biles, the First Regiment band Of this

man, the Victim.

Proctor, Oct. 25.- John Madgan Of
Bennington, Rutland railroad brake
man, was instantly killed literally
erouLd to pieces shortly after O'Clock
yesterday afternoon by switching en-.
gtne which was shifting cars on which
he was employed The remains were
taken tc Rutland on the south bound
flyer. which was held up at Proctor for
a half Eour until permission could be
obtained from the town authorities to
move the body from the track.
There are conflicting stories as to how
the accident happened. The most au-
thoritative is that Madigan went along
the track to flag a cattle train and rode
back on the locomotive of the same
train, jumping off, for some unknown
reason, directly in front of the switch
ing engine.
Madigan was unmarried He was son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin w. Madigan

Clara Leneye Acquitted In
Three Minutes Today
AFTER REMARKABLETRIAL
Presiding Judge, Who Had So Merci-
lessly Scored Dr. Crippen Last
Week, Showed Sympathy
for the Girl.

London, Oct. 25.-Ethel Clara Leneve,
who was charged with being an access
sorry after the fact in the murder of
Mrs. Crippen, for whose murder Dr. Fl.
H. Crippen is sentenced to death, was
to-day acquitted OF the charge, after a
trial lasting less than a single day. The
girl was placed on trial in the Old Bailey
court this morning, when, pale and trem-
bling and mneryed by the death SEN
tenee given her former employer, DIR,
Crippen, she pleaded not guilty to the
charge After the plea was entered the
kings counsel, Muir, made his state
ment, indicating at the outset that the
girl need not expect mercy.
The trial was of unexpected breyity,
and it was big surprise, considering
Crippen's death sentence. The girl did
not testify in her own defense and when
arraigned was barely able to whisper
Not guilty" But few witnesses were
called, and there was little attempt to
damage the girls case. Lord Chief jus
tice Alverstone, who arraigned Crippen
so mercilessly, showed sympathy for the
girl who is in delicate condition. A
verdict was rendered in three minutes.
