Murder at Bangor.

Mrs. Nettie Appleby, aged thirty seven,
WAS shot and almost instantly killed last
Wednesday at Bangor, by Henry Grasse,
her divorced husband, at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Clifford II. Torrens.
Though divorced from Grasse several
years ago, and again married to Judson
Appleby, from whom she also obtained a
divorce, Mrs. Appleby had again been
living with Grasse. He became abusive,
and made frequent threats on her life.
Recently she left him and went to the
home of her sister, where Grssse found
her Wednesday alone with a twelve year
old niece.
After the tragedy, the little girl pre-
vailed upon Grasse not to commit suicide,
as he ATTEMPTED, and after summoning a
neighbor, ne quietly walked away from
the scene and disappeared.
All efforts OF the police failed to reveal
the slightest trace OF the fugitive. Friday
night he visited Mt. Hope cemetery anc
satisfied himself, from the new made
grave in the Appleby lot, that his wife wai
dead. Then he went to the house of ar
assistant care taker at the cemetery anc
surrendered himself. He had been in hid
ing in the woods in tine vicinity ever since
the tragedy.

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
ingenious Schemes by Which They
Mark the Passing Hours.

warn tuS oSSlnS
A Grenoble clockmaker, Antony
Jacques, is responsible for the in
genious clock which he has named
Les Heures Bacchiques" (''The
Hours of Bacchus'). One of the
two drunken individuals is drown
ing in a glass of colored water simu-
lating wine, while his equally help
less companion is barely able to hold
out to him, by way Of stupid drunk
en- greeting, the bottle which they
have emptied between them. In
the body of this figure is secreted a
magnet, which is attracted by the
steel hand of the drowning disciple
of Bacchus.
The two figures remain station
airy, but the wineglass, with the
hours painted in black on it, re-
wolves so that while the floating fig
ure remains suspended in the water,
but motionless, the hours and quar-
ters are marked off by the revolu-
ton of the glass, which is made to
turn on circular place actuated
by the mechanism secreted in the
base of this strange but attractive
clock.
"The School" clock, by NJ. A. Poi
tel, constitutes a particularly at
tractiye object for the shop window.
1t is made to represent the old type
of schoolmaster, who, with his stick
in hand, used equally for teach
ing and chastisement, is instructing
an urchin in what appears to be
sum in arithmetic, but the figures
really represent the hours, to which
the teacher automatically points as
the movement impels his arm to
indicate the passage of time.
LA Mappenmonde" (''The Map
of the Worldly is another ingenious
mechanical device, the invention of
a modern French clockmaker of
Bethune. The movement is in the
interior of the globe and causes it
to revolve and so mark off the hours
on the equatorial band by means of
a locomotive, which, by the way,
has a separate mechanism of its
own, whereby, if the globe is made
it may make a circuit
on its own rails of the equator in
twelve hours.
If the clock is used for show pur-
poses the stationary locomotive
with revolving globe is possibly the
best method to employ, as the loco
motive may then be kept always in
view of the public. But as an in
genious and useful clock for private
use the circuit made by the loco
motive is more interesting.-From
the Matchmaker, Jeweler, Silver
smith and Optician.

Sum of Sales at Gedney Farm
Shows Property in Demand.

The office Of the Gedney Farm Com
pany, in the Country Life Permanent En-
position, at Grand Central Terminal, says
IL has almost reached the $4,000 mark in
the sale of its property at Gedney Farm
in the last six months. This shows that
Westchester County is getting at least
its share OF the homeseekers It's prop
erty came into the hands Of the present
syndicate about January l. and at that
time the work of street improvements had
not been begun.
The Gedney Farm Hotel. which is one
of the finest ana largest hotels OF its KIND
in this country. is located on the property
and the opening date has been set FOR
next Wednesday.
Seven houses are already nearing COM
pletion, these houses costing about $1,000
each.
One fact Of interest about the property
is that it never had TO pass through the
pioneering days. so difficult for most SUD-
urban colonies the property having been
the former estate of the famous horse
man. Howard Willets.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
been spent on street improvements ana

golf course, adjoining the property, ana
has remodeled the former Stafford home
stead into a clubhouse.
There is no boom in Westchester Coun-
tv-iust a steady building up of all sec
tions. The growth is healthful one
and with the additional transportation
facilities afforded by the New York
Westchester & Boston Railroad, which
is now practically giving a one-hour
service between Gedney Farm and wall
Street. it is expected that the sales VIII
reach the million mark next spring.
