The couple reg- istered from Boston and ‘the death of the groom and condition of the bride are due to accident and mistake, the authorities believe. The couple ar- rived at the -hotel Tuesday, and had evidently just been marrie The ac- cident put a pathetic end to their hon- eymoon. A certificate of baptism found in the room indicated that the groom was a little over 19 years old and was l nunve of Hiton East, Shefford coun- P. Q. The medical examiner, who vlewefl the body, believes, as the police do, that the affair was purely accl- dental, and it is presumed that in turning out the electric light the gas cock, close beside it, was opened. The couple registered Tuesday at the hotel, and while they were not seen much that day, their devoted appearance and the handsome gowns found hanging In the room occupied by them, together with white kid slip- pers and other finery, indicgted that the two were on their hone{moon and were stopping at the hotel before set- tling down to a quiét married lif The man registered as “Arthur T trault and wife, Boston,” and they were assigned a room. They came down to dinner and retired early. The Man Was Dead. ‘Wednesday morning they had break- fast, and about ten o'clock went to their room. They were not seen or heard of again until Wednesday eve- ning, when one of the ipil boys de- tected the odor of gas in the corrl- dor. He traced the odor and found that it was strongest about the room occupied by the Tetraults. The mat- ter was at once reported to the night clerk and an effort was made to arouse the palir. This failed and the door was forced ahd the room was found filled with gas. The young cou- ple lay on the bed, and it yas seen at once that the man was rs. Tetrault was alive, but unconscious, and apparently nearing death. A hur- ry call was sent for the Rhode Is- land hospital ambulance, and the wo- man was rushed to that institution, where the doctors think she has a fdir chance of recovery. Lieutenant O station went to the an investization. The medical exam- iner was called and he pronounced the death of the husband due to accident and gave permission for the removal of the body to undertaking rooms. Probably Dead Several Hours. The investigation showed that the gas came from one jet in the middie of the room. The gas and electric lights are on ome chandelier and the buttons for the electric lights are just below the gas cocks. The police think that the man in turning off the elec- tric light accidentally turned on the gas cock. It was 8.30 when the gas was detected, and the medical exam- iner was of the opinion that the man had been dead several hours.

The medical examiner was at the Rhode Island hospital Thursday noon inquirihg into the case in the hope of getting additional information, says the Providence Tribune. He reported he ‘death of the groom as due to ac- cldent, but would like to know more circumstances, The gas cock i nnr the electric light bulb, but it is regarded as strange that the cou- ple should have fallen asleep so soon that they did not detect the odor of the ‘gas.” The jet tvas not fully open, but only partially so. A flow of gas issued into the room, however, at once ahd the odor must haye been noticeable. The windows of the room were closed almost to the bottom. Were Married Tuesday. Arthur Tatreault and Rosalina Mar- coux were marrfed Tuesday morning at Sacred Heart church, Taftville, by Rev. Arthur O'Keefe, and left that af- ternoon for & wedding trip to Bos- ton, Providence and New Bedford. This was of course not known to the Providence authorities and, they worked under the supposition that they came from Boston, by the hotel signature, or from Canada, and tele- grams were sent to both places, it being learned that they were not mar- ried in Boston. The story of the asphyxiation was first known here on Thursday morn- ing, when the news was obtained in the Boston papers, which contained a story of the affalr, The circumstane- es all pointed to the Taftville couple, although the fact that they register- ed from Boston was misleading. Sus- picion was directed to the Taftville couple, but the families of the inter- ested narties would not have believ the matter had not the birth certifi- cate been disclosed. Thursday noon Mrs Tatreault’s family telephoned to the Rhode land hospital to Inquire about her con- dition and were informed that she had a chance of recovery. A telephone message received later stated.that she was improving. Francois Marcoux, father of the bride, went to Providence early in the forenoon to see his daughter, and Alfred Tatreault, brather of the bride- groom, also went to take charge of his brother’s body. The deceased leaves his parents. Mr. Boll e Nelson Tatreault, in Gran- Canada, and six brothers, four liv- lnfl in Taftville and two in Canada. The familles of the young people were overcome by the shock of the sad ending of the wedding trip. The bride and groom had intended to return on Saturday night and a party had ‘been planned for them. St. Louis hall had been decorated and all arrangements made to welcome their homecoming. NORWICH DEATH RATE BELOW THE AVERAGE. Number During August Was 38, With Eight in Public Institutions.

SAID TO HAVE TWO WIVES, Former Montville Man May Have to Face Bigamy Charge. Albert Shaw, a mill worker, sup- pored to be living somewhere in teily, is not unlikely to find himself up against a charge of bigamy if the al- legutions of the women who claim to he his wifes are pressed and found correct, says a Montyille correspoon- dent. Shaw some time ago marrled M Nelife Beebe, a Montville girl who at one time worked for Palmer Bros, Co. and later for the C. M. Robertson Co. At the time of the marriage Miss Bee- be had no doubts as to Shaw be- ing a single man. He has not been living with her, however, for some time and his movements have not been known. A woman who claims to be his first wife, with her three children came to Montville a short time ago from Scituate and is now living in the stons house in Pequot. A few days ago it is said that Shaw appeared on the scene partly under the ence of liquor, and wanted to- sume relations with wife No. was given a peacedble answ beng rather afraid of his making a disturbance in the condition he then w1s byt after he left she went to Con- stable ichael J. Hickey and sought his asistance to warn Shaw to keep Away from her and leave her and the fanjily alone. Shaw was accordingly tcid that the town would prove a hot piae for him if he did not pay at- tention to the warning. SELLING FAKE MEDICINE. Young Men Have Been Doing Big Here With Gorman's During the past two weeks two young men have been doing a big hus- iness throughout the city selling Gor- man's Elixir, which, according to their story, was a bitter tonic and good for about anything imaginable. The- rep- resented that Its price at drug stores was one dollar a bottle, but they were selling it for 25 cents a bottle, and thereby caught many people. They also represented that the Broadway pharmacy handled the elixir, Which is false, as no such medicine is known. People who have tried the stuff soon became convinced that it had no virtué and a number of complaints have been made to the police and many inquiries at the drug store. The fellows have evidently left town. It is said that the so-called tonic is no more than burnt sugar and water. The medicine is put up, according to the label, by the Gorman Remedy Co. of Providence and Toronto.
