BLAME TRAMP FOR FIRE.
Farmers at Weathersfeld Were Much
Stirred UP.

Weathersfeld Center, April 23.--Indig-
nant farmers and police authorities from
Windsor are securing the woods and
foothills OF Ascutney mountain in search
ot tramp who it is thought, was the
cause of a disastrous fire yesterday
morning at the Joseph st. Clair farm,
about mile from this village. The
house was occupied by Peter Jarvis,
ir.. Mrs. Jarvis and two children, who
were made homeless and lost all their
property.
The fire was discovered at ! o'clock
at the end of the barn, and the south
wind drove it through this structure to
the long ell, which connected with the
house. The neighbors We're successful
in getting portion of the furniture out
OF the dwelling.
In the barn Is head OF cattle were
burned as were nine pigs and about 200
hens and ducks Charles Martin of As
cutuevville, lost about $500 worth of
cattle housed at this farm. Every ef-
fort was made to stop the flames but
the hay and dry timber in the barn
went like powder and the bucket brigade
could not make an impression.
II is thought here that tramp was
the cause of the fire The tramp in this
is greatly feared for he
has free access to barns and is not
very thoughtful as to how he uses
matches.
Mr.. Jarvis carried no insurance.

Names of AZ Have Been Sent
to White Star Line
ONE MAY BE GEO. W. WIDENER
Cable Ship Mackay-Bennett Is at Scene
of Disaster Picking Up Bodies of VIC
tins of Titanic Wreck-Names Do
Not Tally With Passenger List.

New York, April 23.-An additional
list of fifteen names of persons VINO
perished in the Titanic disaster and
whose bodies have been recovered by the
cable ship Mackay. Bennett, was made
public by the White Star line to-day
The list was received in wireless mes
sage from the Mackay- Bennett, which
also announced that total of II bodies
had been recovered to date. OF the tit-
teen new names, twelve were those OF
passengers; but none of the new names
were those of prominent persons.
The first list, containing q names,
was received last night, and it contained
no well-known names, unless George W
Widen" as sent by wireless, is that of
George w. Widener of Philadelphia.
The original passenger lists of the
Titanic do not mention widen" which
apparentlv establishes the identity of
the body as that Of Mr.. Nidener, son
OF p. A. b. Widener of Philadelphia,
one of the directors of the White Star
liner. who together with his son, Harry,
was lost.
The list as received at the White Star
line offices is as follows; l.. NJ. Hoff-
man. Mrs. Alexander Robbins, VIM. H..
liarbeck, Malcolm Johnson, A. J. Hal
serson. II. W. Ashe, Leslie Williams A.
Il Hayter. Jerry Monroe, Frederick SUIT

nan, w. Colbine, H. Greenberg, Simon
Sother y. Colas Rashen, Shea,
George w. Widen. Ramon Atragaveytia,
Mill Schedig Steward No. 10, Iosite
Drazenoui. r. b. Att, Leslie Gilinski.
A number of the 27 names in the
fist do not check up with the Titanic's
passenger list, which leads to the belief
that number of the bodies recovered
arc members of the Titanic's crew
The wireless message after listing the
names. concluded "All preserved pre-
sumably referring to the non-decomposed
condition of the bodies.
The White Star officials studied with
out success in interpreting the meaning
of some of the spellings, and came to
the conclusion Of the fact that the list
had been relayed. 1t came via the
steamer Laconia to the Cape Race wire
less station and was sent by cable to
New York.
Telegraph operators acquainted with
both the Morse and Continental code
speculated as to whether the names of
Major Archibald Butt and Col. John Ja-
cob Astor were intended in two in
stances, but they could come to no de-
cision that appeared Trustworthy
In the list as it came the following
combination appeared, "Nihil Scbedig r.
B. Att" which operators believe might
have been intended for Major Archibald
Butts name.
Similar speculation developed over the
name IN. Colas Rssher," name which
the White Star line could not account
for and which telegraph operators
thought might be Colonel Astor.
The White Star line despatched mes
sage in an effort to clear up such ques-
tionable interpretations and for this and
the possible receipt of further names,
officials of the company kept their Of
fees open all night.

the Wreck

Halifax, n. s., April 23.-Late reports
received here Indicate that when dark
ness fell last night the cable steamer
Mackay- Bennett, which went to the
scene of the Titanic disaster for the pur-
pose, had recovered fifty-three bodies
Such bodies as were not embalmed were

to bring back only bodies either identi-
fled or identifable and to return un-
known bodies to the sea. A clergyman,
Rev. X. G. Hind of the Church of Epg-
land. was taken along, and to him fell
the duty of conducting the services by
which the unknown dead were again con-
signed to the sea.
Rush orders were received here yester-
day to prepare another steamer to go IN
search of the dead. The cable ship Minia
was chartered, and local undertalers
placed $50 coffins on board, while 100
tons of ice were stored away in the
holds. A quantity of iron was placed
on board and will be used as weights
in sending to the depths of the ocean the
unidentified dead.
The Minia will take only undertakers
from Halifax, no other person outside of
the crew being permitted on board. Rev.
Mr.. Hind will be transferred to the Nina
and the Mackay- Bennett will then pro-
reed to Halifax with her cargo of dead

ARGUMENTS PRESENTED
In Thompson-Starrett VS.. Ellis Case in
Washington County Court.

Arguments were made in Washington
county court yesterday afternoon and
to-day in the case OF the Thompson
Starrett company Of New York VS.. the
+. b. Ellis Granite company OF North
field, in which the special master had
awarded the plaintiff S247 78s on mort
gage foreclosure. The Thompson Star
rett company had the contract to build
the terminal at Washington, d. G., and
let the granite contract to the defend
ant company.
When the case came up yesterday att
ernoon on the special masters report,
the defendant moved for recommittal
Of the report. but the motion was over
ruled by Judge Z. l. Waterman, after
which the arguments on the exceptions
were made.
Special Master Lewis C. Moody has
fled reports on two cases. In the case
OF r. 4. Morrill, OF Haverhill, Mass,
against R. f. and Jennie Howelson of
Aniesbury. Mass, the master finds no
fraud on the part of the plaintiff and
reports SLIPS balance due on the con-
tract. 1t was claimed that when Howell
son sold Morrill, a mill property in
Worcester he msrepresented the amount
of lumber on the lot. The sale price
was $4,000.
IN the second case Master Moody
finds Enoch Flanders should recover eth
er $1,000 or $500, from c L. Bugbce
of Barre for work done, tho account
running from 1908 to 1900. 1t was
claimed that under a private agree
ment Flanders worked for less than
the union scale but turned in ill union
scale time slips, The master found no
contract and makes the fndiag on the
basis of the time slips rs .Grned in
The difference in the fndiag is basel
on whether or not annual interest Is
due
