enacted to-day in the south Of France. A
gardener named Chave, employed at the con-
vent at Servane, near Marselles, was re-
Gently dismissed for lazness. To-day, while
the sisters were walking in the court grounds,
| and at the moment when they wore at a Sc
| cluded spot, Chave suddenly appeared
before them. The lady superior asked him
kindly if he had found work. Chaye, with
out replying, drew a revolver and discharged
the six barrels, killing the lady superior and
MORALLY wOunding one Of her companions.
The remainder of the sisters fed, shrekng
for help. A number of peasants
soon gathered, but Chaye reloaded
the revolver and kept them at bay. Two
gend a'rmes then arrived and closed with
Chave, who fired at them twice, without hit
ting them. One Of the gen d'armes shot
Chave in the chest and the other bullet pen-
etrated the murderer's ear. Chave, in his
dying agony, inflicted upon himself the third
mortal wound, with his own revolver.
