New York, June 17—Mrs. Barbara Cornelius, wife of a produce market employe, and George McAghon of Jer- sey City were found shot to death in the bedroom of Mrs. Cornelius’ Brook- lyn home early today. The police were informed of the tragedy by the wom- an’'s husband, who said that McAghon climbed in their bedroom window dur- ing the night and fired a shot at when he tried to put him out, and, while he was trying to arouse neigh- bors, killed Mrs. Cornelius and then committed suicid The police gave it as their opinion that McAghon fired the shots. He was found lying on the floor with a revolver clutched in his hand and with powder marks on his fingers. Cornelius, who a night worker, said that he had never seen McAghon before and had taken him for a burg- lar. The police say they learned that Mrs. Cornelius had received postal cards of a loving nature signed with McAghon's initials. Unidentified Turks. Eqch; of the armies in the great war has a regular system which enables it to identify the dead. The Russlan soldier wears a numbered badge, the French soldier has an identification -card stitched into his tunic, the Ger- man soldier a little metal disc bear- ing his number; the British soldier has an aluminum disc, with identi- fication marks and church affiliation; the Japanese soldier has three discs, all alike, one on the neck, another in his belt, end one in his boot; the Austrian has a gunmetal badge, locket shape, with “identification on a tiny parchment leaf within. The Turk is the only s er who is so lightly val- ued that he carries no badge, identi- fication evidently being regarded as needless—Christian Herald. A Son of Premier Asquith Wounded.

But though the bags are being sent out as fast as possible by the authorities, more are still twanted, and many people are making them in their spare time. The best thing to make sandbags from is the material called Hessian, the same kind of stuff that is used to make very rough aprons. The most important thing to remember about the bags is their size, for if they are not of the regulation size, they are useless. The bags should be thirty-three inches long by fourteen inches wide. If they are made any larger they are t00 heavy to lift easily, when filled with sand or earth. Sandbags should never be sewn up with thread, for they have to stand exposure of all sorts of weather, and thread would rot very aquickly, al- lowing the sand to escape. The bags should be sewn with fine string, and a double piece of strong string €hould be left at the mouth of the bag, so as to-enable it to be closed when filled with earth. All bags, by the way, should be sent to Miss Tyler, Linden House, Highgate Road, Lon- don, N.AW., who will see they are for- warded quickly to the front. —Ex- change. - Malt Whiskey A Medicine for ali Mankind it 1,000, = Several of the earlier reports of the Rhode Island Sunday School union, which was organized as auxiliary to the American Sunday School union, in 1826, have been received by the Westerly Library and Memorial asso- ciation, thus encouraging the effort to secure a complete collection. In 1832, these two Sunday schools, located in Westerly, were connected with the union, and their report was as fol- lows: Noyes Sunday school, J. W. Noves, superintendent, one male and four female teachers, forty male and fifty female pupils, three teachers and nine pupils were converted and tXere were ninety-eight volumes in the li- brary; Lottery Sunday school, Capt. Amos Barns, superintendent: three male and five female teachers, eighteen male and twenty female pupils, four teachers and one pupil were converted and there were seventy-seven volumes in _the library. The Pawcatuck society. of Westerly, Dr. John Rose superintendent, was not auxiliary to the union, with 7 male and 8 female teachers, 35 male and 31 female pupils and five male teachers. In the union there were 109 socle- ties, 113 schools, 495 male and 747 female teachers, 4211 male and 5190 female pupils and 97 teachers and 105 pupils professed religion during the vear. The report of Walter Paine, treas- urer, showed a balance in the treas- ury of $2.85. The reports for the local schools to the seventh annual conven- tion, held in Providence, April 4, 1832, follow: “Noyes Neighborhood, Westeriy-— This scheol is not permanent. When in operation it has always been connect- ed with a week-day school. The lat- ter could not have been supported but for the benevolence of the Providence Tract and Education society and the pecuniary .assistance of a few indi- viduals particularly acquainted with its state. There are many obstacles to the schoool, such as the indifference, prejudices and opposition of some parents—the distance (from one to three miles) which most of the teach- ers and pupils have to walk—often through meadows—and the consequent irregularity in attendance. Another obstacle, which perhaps is the princi- pal one, is the different Sabbaths kept (about one-half being Sabbatarians). Under these circumstances, it is sur- prising that the school is so large. There are 90 pupils on the list. Three of the teachers and nine of the pupils appear to have recently obtained a well-founded hope in Christ. Among the nine is a boy of 13 or 14 years— a mixed descendant of th Narragan- sette. “A visit from the secretary of the mission, on the eve of the last day of school, was the means of exciting un- usual interest in behalf of the school, and many were there that evening convicted of sin—some very soon sub- mitting their will to God—others still inquiring the way. When mercies have been thus abundant and marked, we can hardly doubt the goodness of God for the future. Surely, if He hus begun a good work among us, He will perfect that which concerneth us.” Lottery, Westerly—Four of the teachers and one of the pupils has professed religion within the last months. The prosperity and even e istence of the school, will depend very much on the teacher of the free school. Most of the men of this place during summer are gone to sea. The East Greenwich academy team is a claimant for the school cham- pionship of Rhode Island, with Ston- ington on the side, having won 11 of the 13 games played. Westerly and Stonington are the only ones that have defeated the East Greenwich boys. In return games both Westerly and Ston- ington were beaten. The academy team won from Coit turee and from LaSalle, Cranston, South Kingston twice, Warwick and Moses Brown. This claim is disputed by Warwick, it being claimed that Warwick’s recent victory over Stonington, champion of the Eastern Connecticut and Southern Rhode Island Interscholastic league, and itsl 1 to 8 victory over Technicai High, places Warwick the fastest high school team in Rhode Island and Con- necticut. John J. Dunn, of Westerly, secretary of the state board of agriculture, has prepared and had printed a pamphlet containing the habits of the army worm and the best method of dealing with this pest. The pamphlet will be distributed throughout the state as a precautionary measure, although not expecting an invasion of the army worm this-year. It is issued 8s a pre- cautionary measure and will be of value in case the crawling things put in an appearance. Conditions have changed in the schools and method of conduct in Westerly during the past century,when school buildings were owned by indi- viduals and hired by teachers to in- struct the young idea how to shoot, as shown in this document, dated West- erly, Nov. 13, 1825: “Mr. Elias S. Palmer is desirous of teaching a school in the Pawcatuck academy (which was located near site of the old town hall) the ensuing win- ter, or longer, provided his school should meet the approbation of the employers and should prove sufficient- ly productive to compensate him for kis services; to commence on Monday, ihe 21st inst.; he is to take the acad- emy at 4he usual rental of $6.25 per quarter, and to furnish his own wood, etc. We, the undersigned, proprietors in said academy, do hereby approve of the said E.

There was_a report, with refusal of verification, Thursday afterncon, that Charles P. ‘Ecclestons had purchased for Mary A. Damerel from the Lorraine Manufacturing company the property in West Broad street between the ‘Welton building and the Pawcatuck river bridge. The purchased land was the site of the ol Stillman mill and the Star theatre: destroyed by fire a few years ago. It is said that the purchase price “was $15,000, but this is discredited by one versed in the valuation of real estate, who said that e price of $8,500 would be fair to all concerned. Mrs. Mary S. Burdick of New York settled the civil suits brought against her to recover for:work and materials furnished in conmection with the im- provement of her'property in Westerly by contract with her authorized agent. The Abel P. Randall claim for plumb- ing, which traveled through the dis- trict and superior courts, was fully settled on Thursday. Mrs. Burdick also settled the case brought by Edwin Latham, & painter, which was-assigned WESTERLY INTERESTED IN REPORTS | Of State Sunday School Union—Secretary Dunn Warns Against Army Worm—Reported Real Estate Sale on West Broad Street-—Band Concert Delights Audience of for hearing in the Third district court today.

Among the fifty-four claims of Rhode Island residents brought against steamer Rochester, aggregating $501,- 000, is that of Elizabeth R. Clark, of Ashaway, administratrix of the es- tate of Charles W, Clarke, who wos a member of the legislature, and son of William L. Clarke for many years president of the Westerly town coun- cil. Many of the members of the Rhode Island party on the Put-in-Bay trip were seized with attacks of ty- phoid fever on their return home and several deaths resulted. An investi- gation was made and resulted in the suits to recover damages. _The Rhode Island party boarded the Rochester at Buffalo and proceeded to Put-in-Bay in connection with the Perry celebra- tion. The libel filed in behalf of the claim- ants for damages alleges that the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Co. violated the terms of the contract in failing to provide suitable food, wa- ter and accommodations for the pas sengers on ‘board during the trip. Staterooms were insufficient and many had to sleep on the floor of the sa- loons and three persons crowded into many rooms intended for but two. It is alleged that not only the li- bellants, but many of the crew and employes on the steamer, became in- fected and ill as a consequence of the unhealthful conditions on board the vessel. Typhoid fever and ptomaine poisoning are among the results al- leged. . A violalion of the interstate quar- antine regulations promuigated Jan. 25, 1913, by the secretary of the treas- ury under authority of an act of con- gress approved Feb. 15. 1893, is alleged. This refers to the failure of the steam- ship to provide water and ice used for cooling in the same, certified to be pure by the proper health officer. In compliance with the reauest of Secretary of Commerce Redfield, a delegation has been named to repre- sent the state at the government con- ference on lobster propagation to be held at Woods Holl, July 12. The delegation is composed of Charles W. Willard of Westerly, William H. Boardman, James G. Johnson and Theophile Guerin, the members of the board of inland fisheries, with super- intendent of the state hatchery at Wickford.

William D. Broughton, W. Park Bindloss, Francis C. Dixon, of Stoning- ton and George T. Hempstead of Gro- ton, enjoyed the annual outing of Pal- estine Temple, Mystic Shrine. upon the 140th anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. The temple is located in Providence and the local party left for that city on the Federal express Thursday morning. _There was a business meeting in Masonic Temple, followed by a parade to the steamer Warwick and the Shriners were con- veyed to RockyjPoint, where a clam- bake was served. Then Newport was visited and the party returned to Providence at 10 o'clock Thursday night. Remembered the Poor.
