years old, accomplished her ruin three years
ago after repeated efforts, and that he has

of the children is alleged in the affidavit to

land Coward.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Feb Alfred Smith,
residing in Croker block, killed his wife and
Mrs Louisa Jane Wilson with hammer

BALTIMORE, Feb 2-It is now considered
probable that Archbishop Williams will be
McCIoskey's successor in the cardina!att
and that Archbishop Gibbons only chance
of hat is in the appointment of two card,
inals This is looked upon as hardly proba

the Holy city renders it impossible for an
American cardinal to take his share in the
councils there, and, as a result, it is likely
that we can not have more than one card
inal at a time in this conntry. The fitness
of prelate for the dignity will usually be
measured by his years and not by the I'M
portance of the see under his charge.
