turned to the box in which Count
Philippe sat alone. apparently in a
very Indifferent and careless frame OF
mind The feminine element in the
brilliant audience seemed curiously
puzzled: and the yiscount's absence
gave rise to any amount OF whisper
ing behind the fans. Christine Daae
met with rather cold reception. That
special audience could not forgive her
for aiming so high.
The singer noticed this unfavorable
attitude OF a portion OF the house and
was confused by 1t.
The regular frequenters OF the
opera, who pretended to know the
truth about the viscount's love-story,
exchanged significant smiles at GER

they made a show OF turning and look.

appeared Feb. 8-Body Discov-
cred in Northampton.

northampton. March II. The
body of c. Edward Hurley, who disappear
ed from Evarts Vt. Feb. s was found
yesterday afternoon on the banks OF the
Connecticut river at Bradstreet Gilbert
Morton was walking along the river hunt
ing muskrats and was greatly surprised to
see the body lying in a elump of bushes.
DIR. Christopher Seymour, medical eNamin-

He found the mans name upon a bunch
of keys, also on letters in the pockets.
c. Edward Hurley was station agent in
Evarts, and the last seen OF him was leav-
ing a train in this city the evening OF Feb
S. The case was reported to the police and
they made a search. 1t Is believed that
the man took a Greenfield car, left it at
Bradstreet and wandered a mile or more
TO the riverbank and died from eShaus
tion. Chief of Police G.. w Gilbert noti
fled the mans friends and they are coming
to northampton TO take charge of the

ABOUT PRISONER
Officials Reticent in Case of Mrs. Julia
Wells of Swanton, Charged with
Numbering Children.

ST. ALBANS, March 11.-On the
opening of the March term of Frank
lin county court to-day, with Judge
Willard w Miles presiding, it is ex-
pected that the grand jury will take
up the charge of murder, of which
Mrs. Julius Wells of Swanton stands
accused in causing the death of two
of her children by administering ar
senic. If a true bill is returned it is
expected that the case viii be tried at
the present term of court, probably be-
fore the end of March.
The situation respecting the woman
has changed materially, and there is
an undercurrent of secrecy on the part
of the officials State s Attorney G.
f. Ladd and Attorney General Brown
are to have charge of the prosecution
ana the former was very uncommunica
tive about the case, today, refusing tC
make any statement. AT the Jail the
same attitude was maintained an(

tried to see the accused woman, were
met with the announcement that al

can be picked up at that price. Of
course there is the possibility that
baseball talent will be cheap this year
on account of the action of many
minor leagues in cutting salary limits,
but it has got to be unusually cheap
if the Twin State league is to show
any class at all.
Confronting such a situation, it Is
not surprising that the committee
named by the local association to nom
mate officers for the ensuing year are
finding it difficult to induce anybody
to accept the position. The men who
undertake this work will be obliged
not only to raise a guarantee fund for
1913, but must also attend to provid-
ing funds to hquidate an Indebtedness
of almost 5000 remaining from last
season.
Meanwhile the baseball season is ap'
preaching and if Brattleboro is &c

| decided within a very short time. II
view of these facts the probabilities
are that a meeting of the local asso
citation will be called shortly and the
matter put up to the subscribers ever
