DEATH OF PATRICK CULLINAN
Arlington Man Instantly Killed in an
Elevator

Arlington, April 3--Patrick H. Gull
linan, who was instantly killed Wed
nesday afternoon in the elevator at the
Refrigerator Co.'S plant, was long
time resident Of this town. He was
the son of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Thom-
as Cullinan Although a member OF
large family he was the last survivor.
Mr.. Culinan was born in Kilcooney
Ireland, March II, 1S48, and was 67
years of age. In January, 1875, he
married Miss Margaret Hanley OF
Manchester. They first began house
keeping in Arlington, but after
short time moved to North Benning-
ton where they resided for seven
years. At the end Of that period they
moved back TO Arlington which had
since been his home. Mr., Cullinan
was one of those men who always
had a smile, good word, and happy
disposition. Having lived in town for
SO many years he knew everyone and
everyone knew him if not by his real
name by his nickname Of Plunkett.
He was employed at the Refriger-
ator works wher his fellow workmen
speak highly of him and where he was
always willing, courteous and obliglng
to help each and all. Everyone in
town was shocked when the factory
closed down at 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon when the word came out
Mr.. Culinan had been instantly killed.
His family have the deepest sympathy
that everyone can offer in their great
bereavement.
Mr.. Cullinan is survived by his wild
ow, one daughter, Maud, one son,
Jas. Cullinan, all of whom reside at
home. The funeral was very largely
attended at the Catholic Church on
Good Friday afternoon at O'Clock,
the refrigerator company employees
attending in a body and in sympathy
and sorrow gave beautiful flowers for
their comrade who was called TO bet
ter life. Father Kelly oficiated at the
funeral services and burial was in the
Catholic cemetery. The bearers, who
were cousins of Mr. Cullinan, were
Thomas Cullinan, E. J. Cullinan, J. T.
Cullinan, P. N. Culinan, X. s. Cullinan
and p. c. Cullinan.

Drank Iodine

st. Albans, April 5--Mrs. Edward
Goodroe of Lascelle street, in the sec
ton known as "The Blocks" attempt
ed suicide Saturday morning about IL
o'clock by drinking iodine. DR.. c. A.
Lofts was summoned and it is ex-
pected the woman will recover. Mrs.
Goodroe had not been living with her
husband of late and it is understood
that another man, who had been pay
ing her some attention, had transfer
red these attentions to another woman
and this is said TO be the cause OF
Mrs. Goodroe's act. As soon as Mr.
Goodroe heard of what his wife had
done he went TO her and is now at her
home. Deputy Sheriff l.. p. Martin
was summoned, but no arrests have as
vet been made in the case.

mic right to the jaw caused johnson
to crumple on the floor of the ring
where he lay partly outside the ropes
until the referee counted 10.
There is much discussion tonight
and probably will be for all time as
to whether Johnson was really knock
ed out. In the sense of being smash
ed into unconsciousness he certainly
was not. The concensus Of opinion
is that johnson knew that there was
not possibility of his winning so when
knocked down he chose to take the
count rather than stand further pun
shment.
johnson had often said he would
not foolishly submit to repeated
knockdowns when he found he had met
his master. A second or two after
Jack Welsh, the referee, had counted
10 Johnson quickly got up.
A moment later there was a rush OF
spectators to the fighting platform.
For an instant it seemed as if trouble
was threatened and some 30 or more
of the several hundred soldiers sta
toned about the fight arena jumped
into the ring and formed circles about
the vanquished and the victor.
Fighters Escorted by Soldiers
Under escort Of the soldiers Willard
and johnson left the ring while the
crowd cheered and broke into wild
discussion. Willard was out Of his
dressing room in few moments and
was escorted half way to Havana from
the Marinanao race track, where the
fight took place, by troop Of Cuban
cavalry. Tonight Willard is the hero
Of the island. His victory was very
popular.
Automobiles returning TO the city
from the fight flew white flags and
thus the news spread that the white
challenger had beaten the negro cham
pion.
Willard is probably the most modest
champion who ever stepped out OF

Mason of long standing. He was a
member of Adoniram Lodge No. az
f. & A. NJ, having been raised to the
sublime degree of a Master Mason in
st. Georges Lodge in Schenectady, N.
Y, May 10Th, 1856; was member of
Adoniram Chapter No. Is, r. A. M,
and was the last of the charter mem
bers of this Chapter, having Joined
Elmira Chapter in Elmira, N. T., in
1857. In the same year he was made
Knight Templar in St. Omer's Com
mandery in Elmira but Omitted and
joined Apollo Commandery No. 10 in
Troy, N. Y, in 1859 and at the time
of his death was the dean Of the mem
bers of that organization.
The funeral services were held from
his late horne in this village on We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock, Rev. w.
H. Bamford, rector of Zion Episcopal
Church officiating. The bearers were
his two sons, Willard X. Bennett and
Otto r. Bennett, his only nephew,
William w. Bennett, and his three
grandsons, Geo. Stewart Bennett, Otto
Ronald Bennett, Jr., and Harold p.
Bennett. The interment was in the
family plot in Dellwood Cemetery
Here the exile, DER the waste,
Trudging homeward, shall repose;
All his tolls and dangers past,
Here his long sojournings close.
Entering through the sacred walls,
To the holy cell he bends;
Then, as sinking Nature fails,
Hope in glad fruition ends.

DEATH OF GEORGE w. BENNETT
One of Manchester's Oldest Citizens
and Last of His Generation

George w. Bennett, one of Manches-
ter's oldest citizens, died from exhaus-
ton at his home in this village early
Monday afternoon, April 5th, aged so
years and two months, after an illness
of about Is months.
George Walter Bennett was born in
Peru, February 6, 1885, and was the
Oldest child of the late Jonas and
Anna Beard Bennett. He came to
Manchester with his parents about TO
years ago, living here until 1853 when
he went to Troy, N. Y, as an appren-
tice to Thomas Coleman and learned
the art of fresco painting. He was "a
business in Troy until 1866 when he
returned to Manchester where he had
been in business in an active way un-
til 1913, when on account Of approach
ing infrmities he was forced to retire
In the more than 60 years of active
business life he had personally con-
tracted for and worked on more than
$50 churches and other public build
ings.
On October 20, 1858, he was married
to Julia F. Ronalds in Troy, who with
three children, Willard X. Bennett and
Otto r. Bennett of this town, and Mrs.
Clara B. Stafford of Jamaica Plain,
Mass, survives.
Mr.. Bennett was a man of strong
domestic habits. He was a member Of
Zion Episcopal Church and was

prize ring. taxi ig his victory as phil
lsophically as he had looked forward
to the fight. Neither he nor Johnson
showed much evidence OF having been
engaged in a heavyweight champion
ship battle. The new champions lip,
right ear and left cheek showed slight
cuts, but at no time was there more
than drop or two Of blood in evil
dence.
In this respect the fight was in great
contrast to the Johnson-Jeffries fight
at Reno five years ago, when Jeffries
was cut to pieces and blood splashed
over the spectators at the ringside.
Evidently thinking that this condition
might prevail agan to-day Johnson
objected to the presence Of white
woman in the newspaper seats just
outside the ropes and she WAS relegat-
ed to place farther away.
Fight Not a Brutal One
On the contrary, no fight between
heavyweights that has gone to a fin
ish was cleaner or less brutal. john
sons left eye was partly closed in the
early rounds, but not sufficiently to
interfere with his fighting. His lip al
so was cut inside and his famous gold
en- smile flashed from a very red set
ting.
The end of the fight came with a
suddenness that dazed the spectators.
1t followed two or three rounds Of al
most complete idleness on the par. OF
the contestants and the crowd settled
down to a long drawn out struggle,
believing it would go the full limit Of
as rounds without either being able
to register a knockout.
The early rounds were filled with
flashes of Johnson's former wonder
full speed when he would rain rights
and lefts to Wizards body and face,
delivering 10 blows to one from the
big white challenger. Through all this
time Willard was strictly on the de-
fensive and one one occasion johnson
played with him, once standing with
guard down and letting Willard swing
at him, only to dodge and laugh at the
awkwardness Of his opponent.
Prophecy Proves Correct
In many respects the fight resulted
just as many predicted, Willard and
his friends particularly prophesying
that if the battle lasted 20 rounds
Johnson could not win. This was
based partly on the belief that Willard
could stand all the punishment john
son could infict and partly on the
doubt as to Johnson's condition and
his ability at his age to fight a long
battle against the odds of superior
height, weight, reach and youth.

BURNS PROVE FATAL
TO AGED WOMAN
Mrs. Lucinda Shepard of West Rut-
land Dies From Terrible Burns

lana lies FROM ierFible BURNS
Rutland, April 5--Whlc her rcla-
tives were at Rutland shopping, death
came SATURDAY night TO Mrs. Lucinda
Shepard, an aged resident Of West
Rutland, in horrible form. She was
burned to death and owing TO her ad-
vanced age and disabilities there is
every reason to believe she was un-
able TO make much struggle, but was
compelled to watch the flames eat
their way TO her flesh. The chair on
which she sat was melted TO the floor
under the intense heat, Mrs. Shep-
ards head, face, arms and the upper
portion of her body suffered most and
it was these injuries which proved
fatal. How her clothing caught fire
is somewhat Of a mystery, although it
is advanced as thrcory that match
with which she was lighting pipe
which she smoked occasionally fell in
to the folds of her dress.
Her nephew, Charles Whittemore.
and his wife came to Rutland Satur-
day evening. The tragedy was dis
covered by the people living down
stairs, but not until she had been
overcome by the fire. When found,
Mrs. Shepard lay on the floor uncon-
scious and never recovered conscious
ness. BY using blankets, brooms, and
pals of water the blaze was extin-

MAN NEARLY ASPHYXIATED
WHILE TAKING A BATH
Rutland Man Has Narrow Escape
From Death by Leaking Gas


Rutland, April 5--The attempt of
one Mariana Ciofli to take his Satur-
day evening bath brought misfortune
and confusion the night before Easter
Sunday in the Italian club, No. 1o9
West street. Cioffi was nearly asphyx-
lated by gas, and his brother Raphael
cut his wrist on the glass when break
ing a window pane TO admit air. Late
in the evening the younger brother,
Mariana, retired to the club room. lie
had been heating the water partly by
means of an old gas stove, and either
did not turn it completely out, or the
apparatus became disconnected. At
any rate he says he was scarcely
aware of his danger when all became
blank. He fell as he was trying to
make his way to the door.
His brother, Raphael, downstairs,
heard the noise made by the falling
body, and was not particularly I'M
pressed. Noticing the silence in the
room above which ensued he went up
stairs, and found Mariana black in the
face and unconscious. DR.. Il. u.
Smith was summoned, and 10 minutes
of hard work sufficed to restore life.
The man was we'll yesterday. His
brother sustained an ugly and painful
cash in the wrist when he smashed
the window to let in fresh air.

JOHNSON is KNOCKED
OUT BY JESS WILLARD
Colored Pugilist Loses Championship
Title in 26th Round at Havana

Colored Pugilist Loses Championship
Title in 26th Round at Havana
Havana, April 5--Jack Johnson, ex-
lie from his own country, to-day lost
his claim as the heavyweight fistic
champion of the world, the title being
wrested from him by Jess Willard, the
Kansas cowboy, the biggest man who
ever entered the prize ring as a"white
hope who at last has made good.
1t is said that Johnson will return
to France where he purposes to lead
the life of farmer raising pigs and
chickens. There is no doubt that he
is through with the ring.
Willard, tonight acclaimed the new
champion, is going back to the United
States to win the fortune denied him
to-day when Johnson got 100000, Will
lard taking only small share Of the
net receipts. Just what his share was
is not known.
Johnson Weakens After 20 Rounds
To-day's fight probably has no par
allel. For 20 rounds Johnson punched
and pounded Willard at will, but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
until at last he seemed unable or un-
willing to go on.
Johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle was lit
tie more than a series Of plastic poses
of white and black gladiators.
So it was until the 25th round when
Willard got one Of his wildly swinging
windmill right hand smashes TO John
sons heart. This was the beginning
of the end.
Johnson "All In"
When the round closed, johnson
sent word 10 his wife that he was "all
in" and told her to start for home. She
was on the way out and was passing
the ring in the 26th round when
singing left to the body and cyclo-
