= Bloody Tragedy.

Boston, June 8.-The murder of Sarah
Rowland by her ''husband', Thomas F.
Rowland, in Charlestown, early Friday
morning, proves to have been horribly de-
liberate, and the immediate cause series of
trifies Rowland was barkeeper, and had
long been jealous of his ''wife" He came
into the room where she was sleeping with
a woman waiter. She awoke, and placing
her face so that the muzzle of the revolver
touched it, said: II am not afraid Of you
or your revolver Rowland then pulled
the trigger firing several shots into her.
She offered to shake hands before she died,
but Rowland answered. "There is no for
giveness in me-" She called for water for
some time before Rowland would allow the
servant to give her any. The servant
states: "When Rowland was sure that she
was dead, he said: Poor thing. She is
gone at last; she was a good wife to me
and if it was not for this bitter jealousy,
and if she had bought the suit of clothes l
asked her for, she might have been living
now.'" Rowland called for lager, saying
that it was to be his last drink, but soon
shot himself, firing several bullets and
dying in short time. The suit of clothes
which Rowland complained that mis- wife
would not buy was found in the house by
the officers. The suit was wrapped in paper
and Mrs Rowland evidently meant to sur
prise her husband with it, Rowland trans
ferred his property to his wife year be-
fore, and this led to the trouble.

Otto Won Kerstings, a clerk at the Soldiers
home at Togus, by James McCauley, a
former inmate of the institution McCau-

Pendleton Apologies.

WASHINGTON, June 8. President Cleve
land has received letter from Rev. G. H.
Pendleton, the Baptist minister of Worces-
ter who made himself responsible for the
publication of the offensive yarns about
the president and his wife, in which the
reverend gentleman makes a very abject
apology for what he said about the
president and Mrs. Cleveland, and asks
their pardon. He tries to explain
away his responsibility for what was pub
lished by saying that he did not intend that
anything should be published about it, an
tells how he heard the stories while. he W,
attending the Baptist convention, and
cepted them without any attempt to pre-
or disprove them. He endeavors to
the responsibility for what was publ
upon the Worcester paper and its repo
and winds up by declaring his purpo
vote for MIR. Cleveland next autumn.

POISONED HER CHILDREN,

Mrs. Whiteling Confesses the Murder of
Her Little Son and Daughter, and
Says Her Husband Killed Himself with
Poison She Furnished.
PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-Mrs Sarah
Jane Whiteling, who was under arrest, vol
unfairly confessed in the coroner's office
that she had poisoned her two children, a
girl aged and boy aged 2 years, and
that she had furnished her husband with
the poison with which, she declares, he
took his own life.
Mrs. Whiteling's actions, together with
the result of an examination which proved
conclusively that poison had been the cause
of all three deaths led to her arrest last
Sunday night. There were several policies
of insurance on the lives of the woman's
victims, each of them being for small
amount. but amounting in the aggregate to
1862, all of which she collected

LOWELL, Mass, June 11.-A terrible
holocaust occurred in this city last night.
Shortly before midnight fire broke out in a
two-story tenement block at the corner of
Rock and Willie streets and spread apidly,
practically quitting the building before the
fire department could make much headway
against the flames. The building was
occupied by two families, nine persons in
all. Six of these effected their escape.
Three were burned to death. Their names
are Eugenia Vallerand, aged 1S wears;
Peter Vallerand, aged 8 years; and Della
Vallerand, aged 8 years.
Alfred Vallerand, aged IA, was nearly
suffocated before he awoke. The flames
cut off all egress but he rushed through
them and jumped to the ground through a
window. The hair was completely burnt
off his head and the skin of his face and the
upper part of his body was burnt black.
He will die.
Mrs. Thomas Vallerand, the mother, a
widow; escaped by jumping from window,
breaking her leg in the fall. She is slightly
burnt but will live.
The Boisvert family, three in number,
escaped from the building. Mrs. Boisvert
was burned slightly and the smoke SC
penetrated her lungs that fatal result is
apprehended. She made her escape by
getting out of an end window upon the
roof OF low building adjoining, carrying
her little 1-year-old baby with her. One
of her children is missing, but is thought
to have escaped and taken refuge IN a
neighbours house.
The bodies found in the building bore no
evidence that there was any struggle and
it is supposed that they were suffocated
before awakening.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
house is rattle-trap with narrow stair
way.
