PHILADELPHIA, Oct 24.-A special from Sta
rucca, Pa, says that John Howell, who yesterday
murdered his four children then shot and probab-
ly fatally injured himself, recovered consciousness
this morning and confessed to the killing of his
children Howell was an industrious man, but
sickness during the past year has affected his
mind considerably. He says yesterday his wife
soon as they were out of sight he set about his
murderous work. He induced his four children,
whose ages ranged from to IL, to take arsenic
sively placed pistol close to the forehead of each
and drove bullet into their brain. Howell then
seated himself with cooked revolver in his hand,
to await the coming of his wife and daughter, in
tending to add them TO his victims
After waiting, and they not returning, he shot
himself twice and fell unconscious beside his muir
dered children. where he was found by his wife
and daughter upon their return shortly after. No
one holds the wPeched man responsible, as his in
sanity is generally conceded. 1t is thought he
cannot recover.
