A. S. Sommerson, Agent
Somervllle, Mass.—John Murphy
turned from pig-sticking to man-kill-
ing in the North Packing and Provis
ion company's slaughter house, and,
driving his fellow workmen before
him, slew five of them, and wounded
four others.
Two of the wounded were later re-
ported as In a dying condition.
The dead:
Hubert Smith, colored, Cambridge
James Catre, colored, Cambridge.
Thomas C. Rowe, Cambridge.
Michael Janicus, Somervllle.
Unidentified white man.
The wounded:
Dr. Daniel G. Hayes, government in-
spector, of Waltham.
John Cheevus, Cambridge.
John Lewis, Cambridge.
John Patterson, Somervllle.
Hayes and Janicus were fearfully
slashed. According to some of the
workmen, Murphy had been acting
peculiar for some days, but he return
ed from his dinner at noon apparently
In normal condition. Soon after 4
o'clock he sprang at Dr. Hayes, wav
Ing his flfteen-lnch, razor-edge knife
In his hand. He cut Dr. Hayes a deep
gash on the neck, stabbed him over
the heart, and practically dlsembowl
ed him.
Chaces Victims With Knife.
The terrified workmen rushed for
the door, but Murphy ran after them
slashing right and left. On the sec
ond floor one of the workmen, an
Italian, seized a heavy bar of iron
and felled Murphy to the floor, but he
was quickly on his feet and wounded
another man.
On the street floor he was given an-
other blow on the head, and his knife
was wrenched from his hand. Two
pollfcemen came to assist the work
men and Murphy was given a fearrui
beating before he finally waB over
powered.
Murphy Is 50 years old, weighs 200
pounds, and Is regarded as one of th€
stongest men in the plant. He had
been employed at pig-ldlling for som<
years at the North plant. He is mar
ried and lives In Somerville. Th<
wounded men were taken to the Cam
bridge relief Btatlon, where It Is re
ported that there Is little hope of Dr
Hayes or Cheevus surviving theii
wounds.

election during the past week—163
votes for $15,000 electric light bonds

voters were practical^ unanimous for
the bond issue.

experiences in the recently abolished
convict camps of Georgia.
NEW MOVE IN PATRICK CASE.
Now Claimed Testimony cf Medical
Men Was False.
Kirksville, Mo.—New and sensation
al proof that Albert T. Patrick, the
New York man convicted of murder,
Is Innocent will be presented if the
chance is given, according to a state-
ment here by Dr. William Smith ol
this city, who la conducting a cam
paign to prove that the medical tes
tlmony given against the prisoner
was incompetent.
For nearly a year Dr. Smith and an
attorney for Patrick have been circu-
lating petitions for the prisoner, ask-
ing Governor Hughes of New York
to reopen the case and permit the In-
troduction of new testimony. These
petitions, it has been estimated, have
been signed by 200,000 persons.
This new evidence consists of the
opinions of some of the greatest med-
ical and anatomical experts in the
world, all of whom. It is asserted,
have declared in letters and docu-
ments in Dr. Smith's possession that
testimony given against Patrick by
medical men was false.

Tax Annually.
Mounds Votes Bonds.
Mounds.—Mounds voted $20,000 in
bonds for waterwarks and $8,000 for a
town hall by a vote of nearly seven
to one. A hard fight was made to
overcome what little prestige had
been brought to bear against the lm
provements. A $20,000 district school
is now under course of construction
here and work on a $75,000 county
high school will be started within the
next few days. The town is having
several blocks of cement sidewalks
laid and everything points to a steady
increase in population of the little oil
city.

Abrasion on Girl's Foot.

from a slight bruise on her heel by
the rubbing of a slipper caused th
death of Miss Fannie Andrews ot

stocking got into the abrasion caused
by the rubbing of the slipper, although
at the time it could not be seen that
the skin was broken.
Perry.—Plans have been approved
by Andrew Carnegie for the construc-
tion of a Carnegie library In this city
according to provisions made by the
city council in conformity to the offer
made by Mr. Carnegie during last
year.
Mr. Carnegie offered to give $10,000
for the erection of a building here to
be known as the Carnegie library, pro-
viding the city would agree to set
aside a fund by taxation equal to
$1,000 annually for the maintenance
of the building and library proper.
The last city administration agreed
to this and so notified Mr. Carnegie
to that effect, submitting plans for
the building. This has met with Mr.
Carnegie's approval according to u
letter received here this week from
his private secretary, stating that
funds for building were now available.
Bids have been asked for and the
contract for the erection of the build
ing will be let June 15, and active
work begun as soon as material can
be obtained.
The plans call for a building 40x60
feet, practically two stories in height
to be built of buff colored paving
brick. The front will have four mas-
sive marble columns and the trim
mlngs will be of terra cotta colored
brick. The structure will occupy tne
southwest corner of the public square,
a beautiful and convenient location,
surrounded by elm trees.
