Shocking Crime In a School Room.

The little girls attending the third
grade in the Jefferson public school
building in the southern section of the
city of Washington, d. c., were
standing in the aisles of the school
room about o'clock Friday after
noon, about to bid school good-by
until the morrow, when their teacher,
Mrs. Sarah E. Allen, was fatally shot
in their presence by her worthless
husband, who then shot himself. ALL
en- had been supported off the earn
ings of his wife as school teacher I'M
til some time ago, when she left him
on account of his dissipated habits
and frequent abuse and violence. He
has annoyed and threatened her sew
eral times since she refused to have
anything to do with him, and she had
been warned very recently to beware
of him. Friday afternoon Allen hired
a cab on Pennsylvania avenue, and
after stopping at saloon, told the
driver that he wanted to 60 to the
Jefferson school buildings. Arriving
there he babe the driver wait for him
and Immediately went to the room
where his wife taught, and taking his
revolver, small sized British bull
dog of 30 calibre, advanced towards
his wife's desk. The children were
the first to see him, and when they
showed how startled they were at his
appearance, he called on them not to
make any noise or he would shoot.
Mrs. Aliens attention had meantime
been attracted and she started to
move, but her husband by this time
was upon her, saying: "Now, I've
got you where / want you," he fred
at close range, the ball taking effect
near the right ear and passing through
the head. He then turned the pistol
on himself and inflicted an almost in
simultaneously fatal wound, the bullet
entering the right temple and pass
ing through the brain. The murdered
wife and the suicide fell together on
the school-room floor, his arm about
her neck and the revolver lying on
her check. The startled, terror strick-
en- children almost created a panic, |
but some Of the more collected of them
ran for other teachers, who succeeded
in restoring order. Police and physi-
clans were summoned, who did every
thing possible to make Mrs. Aliens |
last moments free from pain. She
fingered only semi-conscious for some
time and then passed away. Her
husband expired few minutes after
the arrival of the police. Mrs. ALL
ems maiden name was johnson. Her
father, r. W. Johnson, is an old and
well-known resident of this city. |
About Ii years ago, against the adj
vice of her family and friends, she
married Oswold c. Allen, who came
from Charlottesville, Va. He was
known as a worthless, indolent fell
ow, with no trade or means of liveli-
hood.

On turning a sharp curve neal
Bailey's Station in the Rocky Mount
aims, on Monday of last week, a train
running from South Park to Denver
crashed into an immense boulder that
had fallen on the track. The engine
and seven cars were thrown off the
rails. Under the former, wedged in
so that he could only move his head,
Charles Laphen, the fireman, was pin
Toned. Jagged sections of the dis
rupted mechanism were thrust into
him in dozen places, and the fire
box was so close to his legs that it
slowly roasted them. And yet, in the
midst of this awful suffering, poor
Laphen lay calmly and patiently for
more than an hour before death came
to his relief. His train companions,
hardy men to whom tears were a
novelty, wept around him like child
rem; but neither a groan nor a word
of compl amt escaped Laphen. One
of his friends wrote while he dictated
his will, and then, with prayer which
was full of the manifest courage, he
died. The tablets of time are written
full of records of heroism, of courage
of manned soldiers and of the endur-
ance of prosecuted martyrs; but none
of them tell of death met more bravely
than Charles Laphen met his.

Whatever may be our individual
views of civil service reform, all must
admit that the President is strictly
conservative in his treatment of the
subject, and faithfully keeps his
party's and his own pledge to sustain
the law. He is receiving much COM
mendation, even from political oppo-
nents, for his recent appointment of
Theodore Roosevelt and Hugh S.
Thompson to fill the vacancies in the
civil service commission. The former
is known as a sincere and practical

Lamoille County Conference.

The CongregationalCh Churches of this County
held their Annual Conference at johnson, the
18th and 18th of this month, combining with
it exercises designed to promote the work OF
civilizing and outstanding the less favored
parts of the United States, and to save our
own and other States from those influences
which tend toward barbarism. This addition
of Home Missions seemed to increase the
interest in the proceedings, as did the address
of Rev. C. III. Merrill, of st. Johnsbury, who
spoke on THE Problem of the Country
Church" also of Mr. A. l.. Parsons, Evangel-
list, and of Rev. W. G. Puddefoot. Mr.. Puddle
foot's eloquent and earnest appeals for larger
aid for civilizing and outstanding the dan
gerous elements of Americas population were
so lighted up with wit and humor that his
audience seemed in no hurry to leave. The
exceptional skill of the orator implied IN this
fact can hardly be realized by those who have
not earnestly and repeatedly tried to lead the
average man to become a cheerful glver to
unknown persons who make him no direct
return. No collection was taken. but Mr..
Puddefoot's words conveyed the impression
that if American patriots will not do more
and give much more to save their country
from the grip of the liquor power, from the
perils from great masses of degraded fellow
citizens, and from the perils from degraded
immigrants, very soon the demand will cease,
because we shall have no republic.
The conference also listened to a sermon by
Rev. L. B. Tenney; discussion on Making
the Most of the Sabbath" and " True Idea of
the Church." and "Church Membership" by
Rev W. L. Anderson; essay on Improve
ment in the Rural Family by Rev. E. Wheel
ock; remarks on Religious Periodicals in
Family" by Rev. L. B. Tenney; and Bible
Readings on Home Missions" by Dea. r. A.
Savage. Among other speakers DR.. A. H.
Campbell, Rev. A. A. Smith, and Dea. E. Bent
ley led devotional services. The Woman's
Missionary Society meeting was well attended
and awakened much interest.
Probably none of the speakers awakened
more interest than Mr.. Parsons who spoke in
the evening of Wednesday and also at the
forenoon and afternoon sessions. The larg-
est audience was present on that evening, no
doubt partly because Mr.. Parsons labors
have proved so valuable in several towns in
this vicinity within the last twenty months.
Mr.. Parsons spoke with great energy and
boldness of the surprising contradiction be-
tween the high purposes we profess and COM
parative idleness and selfshness which seems
to characterize so many, urging the need of
greater zeal and earnestness. T.
