widow under other initials.

”The story leading up to the present
aspect is a romantic one. worthy of
.‘thesncrtsofauovsl writer indeed. it
seems more like action than reality.
and yet the short! believes no has good
grounds to undertake the unveiling of
the mystery and get at the true facts.
. Sixteen years ago Julia A. Squires
' was the bright and vivacious daugh-
ter; of Ur. end lire. David Saulrcs. at
Bethel. She frequently visited In Nor-
walk. and while here was introduced to
Elbert ll. Beers. then employed at the
old 8. ll. Olmstead foundry In birch.
antes street. it in said to have been a
case of love at drst sight. and when
hues Squires was not In Norwalk. Mr.
Beers was in Bethel. He secured a
situation as engineer at the Orrin Ben-
edicthet theta ry in the Grassy Plain
district of Bethel, and shortly after-

wanis asked his sweetheart to become
him Beers. They were married at the
bride’s home, and apparently all went
well. He was a dcvowd husband. and
when three children blessed their un-
‘ion he was a loving and Indulgent isth-
.. Then the wife’ s health broke

he assists her. At other times. when
Beers was not at home. It: is said. she
celled upon the selectmeu to take some
means to find him. out was told that
they would assist her rather than go
to the expense of looking up the rec-
rehllt husband.

During his married life Beers has
worked for Hall I: Rogers in Danbury.
and later was on the road for the Silax
Company of Georgetown.‘ Of lets be
has been representing the lancastsr
Acetylene Gas Machine Company. of
New York city.

He provided for hie wife. as near as
could be learned from the family. up
to about two months ago, when. it i!
alleged. he explained that collections
were poor and he was herd up. The
last visit Beers made to his home in
Bethe! was the letter part of October.
Al- is alleged that at that time he told
his wife he was showing his machine
in Stamford and had gotten In with
some nice people and would do a good
business. He had. it is said. also writ-

' ten to hie wife from that city. Upon
leaving home to return to Stamford.
according to Mrs. Beers's story. he
took his best clothes, telling her he
had an invitation to attend a wedding

and wanted to look as nice as any of
the guests. That is the last time. ac-
cording to all reports. that Mrs. Beers
saw her husband.

She was suspicious about the. cloth-
ing story and the failure of her hus-
band to supply her with more money.
and again sought the mussel of the
Bethel selectmen. who secured the ear.

A visit to Stamford failed to reveal
the. whereabouts of E..li. Beers. but
anatomic. presumably Deputy SherIIr
Judd. is supposed to have been In
Stanford a few days ago looking for
information concerning an acetylene
gaa'agent. He called at the Union
Kathi and at business houses where J.
Beers. the acetylene gaaman. had
his apparatus on exhibttlon. and en-
deavored to learn his whereabouts.

About a year ago there was publish-
ed an account of Beginner Orlando
Bronson. with his locomotive No.~:1.
passing the Colonial express between
New York and Norwaik while both
trains were sent bound. That is, No
27 was on the outside east bound track.
and the Colonial express wal" on the
inside east 'boand track. That was an
exciting express train race. but it was
nothing as compared to what happened
Wednesday evening.‘ The story is told
as follows:

The Boston & Albany express which
leaves the Grand Central station at i
p. m.. started as usual on time; Ba-
gineer Bronson. with the Naugatnck
express. also left the Grand Central on
time at 4:02. The running time be.
tween these two trains Is but two min-

utes. The Boston and Albany makes
its drst step at New Haven. and the
Naugatuck at South Norwalk. The
block signal system does not permit
one train following another. to enter
a block. inside of two minutes. it
therefore the Boston and Albany slows
down or steps for any reason, the
Naugatuck is held back by the sig-
nnis. and it frequently happens that
the Naugatuck either has to stop or
slow down before South Narwalk Is
reached. Of course alter that stop is
made by the Naugatuclt the Boston
and Albany crawls away from the fol-
lowing train, and Begins» Bronson
has a clear track ahead

These frequent slow downs which
Engineer Bronson is called upon to ob-
serve naturally tantallse a good eu-
gineer. who loves to make time. and he
has frequently asked if something
could not be done to give him a better
show. Last fleeing he got it.

it seems that the Boston and Albany
train was made up with an extra car.
night In all. and when New Rochelle
was reached. the man in the signal
tower sent the train on to the center
east bound track. When Engineer
Bronson came along he was switched
onto the outside east bound track.
This gave both trains a clear track
ahead to Concob Bridge. The moment
Engineer Bronson became aware of
this. he shouted to his fireman:

"Reeve coal. old man: we'll catch
Thompsom—(the engineer of the Bon-
ton and Albany express). He's got an
extra car. and he can't turn wheels to-
night."

Bronscn's fireman leaned out the
cab. looked back. and then replied:

”Oh. I" don't know. We've got an
extra car. too." Bronson scowled. He
tried the water cocks. partly turned off
the Injector. and said: "I wish i bad
old 27.". (She’s lathe shop). “But
we’ll take the grease out of this mill."

No. 17 is rebuilt from old 27. but is
now a due engine. although not of the
first class arse. She responded to the
extra_exertlon which Engineer Bron-
son required of her and the train be.
gun to rush ahead under great head.
way. When the "Naugy" dashed ar-
ound the curve at Greenwich. Engineer
Bronson saw the tail of the Boston and
Albany away ahead. and as the latter
train reached (Yoscob Bridge first it
passed over while Bronson was com-
pellcd to slow down before following
over the bridge on the single east
bound track. immediately after the
bridge was crossed. both trains were
again switched on the two separate
east bound tracks. and Engineer Bron-
son again made a “try" to catch the
Boston and Albany. It was a great
light, but when Stamford depot was
reached. No. 17 had lapped on to the
rear car of the express. Then the tug
of war really began. Engineer Thomp-
son looked back and saw "Drona:
coming. l-Ie shouted so his fireman:
"Shovel. Dick; don't let him catch
us" but in spite of Dick's best en-
deavors "Drona" slowly crawled up
car after car. and by the time the long
up grade at Glenbrook was reached.
both engines were thundering on
abreast. Neither engineer looked at
the other. The eyes of both were
strained ahead. but the two firemen
stood each on the tall board of blurs-
spectlve cab. and shook hands. They
were black and grimy. but the pulse
was warm and the bead clasp hearty.

After the two express engines had
reached the top of the grade they _be-
an to run faster and faster. but old
I“! had the sand and forged ahead.
Bronson kept her "plugging." and
Ireuhod South Norwelk so far ahead
‘that his passengers had begun
alight before the Boston and Albany
thundered by. Bronson gave a short
"toot" with his whistle. a sort of about

civictory. but Thompson only tolled

Washington, November ill-Greet
interest is felt in the War Department
over Aguinaldo’s sudden change of
base northeastward from Tariac to Be-
yombnn. about 160 miles distance
There are numerous spellings of the
latter place. but the form given is the
one most generally adhered to on the
maps in possession of the War De-
partment. The most interesting fea-
ture of the new situation is that Ag-
uinaido has been forced out of Tagalo
country into a region to the north
where Tagalo is not spoken and where
the mountains are tilled with Negrltos
and other savage tribes who are hos-
tile to the Tagaloa. This is about the
most mountainous and Inaccessibie
part of the island.

To the south base of Carabello Moun-
tain there is a narrow break in the
mountain range. and within a few
miles around the base of Carnbellc
Mountain on its northern slope one
strikes the head waters of the Megat
which is the beginning of the great
river Cagayan that flows northward
250 miles into the China see it is at
the headwaters of the Nagal that Ag-
uiuaido is now located. The way In
open for him down the long stretch of
the river Apart-i. at the mouth of the
(Mayan. where it flows into the sea.
This is one of the wildest and richest
valleys in the island. It Is believed
that the river Cagayan Js navigable

from Its mouth and for Casooes much
farther. ”it is expected as soon as Ag-

uinaido shows any disposition to move l

down the valley'townrd the China see
that warships and gunboats will be
sent around the northern end of the
island to meet him and cut oif his on-
rape.

if It is his intention to escape from

try aeound Carabello mountain Is sucll
that he could probably stand off the
