BRITISH MINISTER MoNsoN.
Agitation for His Removal by the Rus
sian PARTY In Greece,


LONDON, Dec. Pa strong pressure
Is being brought to bear upon Mr.. Deli
goergis, Grecian minister Of foreign
affairs, to induce him to demand that
Lord Salisbury shall cause to be read in
the British parliament the letter of
apology written by Sir E. J. Monson,
British minister to Greece, for inaccurate
statements which Minister Monson had
made relative to the treatment of British
creditors by the Syro-Hellenic company.
There is powerful movement on foot
to compel the recall of Minister Monson
by the British government.
This movement has for its ostensible
ground the charge of misrepresentation
in the Syro-Hellenic and other matters;
but the real ground is that Sir Edmund
has made himself obnoxious to the
Philo- Russian party by his vigilance In
watching and reporting its efforts to
control the policy &C Greece In direc-
tion favorable to Russia. Sir Edmund
Is distinguished diplomat, brother of
the Viscount Oxenbridge, and he is in
favor with the Salisbury government.
His former services have been chiefly in
South America, where he represented
Great Britain at Buenos Ayres, Monte
video and Paraguay. He was appointed
to Greece in 1888, where for the first
time he appears to have given offense.
The feeling against him is so strong
that, but for the fear of deeply Offend
ing Great Britain he would probably be
given his passports.

CHRISTMAS TRAGEDIES.
A Lowell Man Ushers In the Day by
Killing His Wife.


Lo YELL, Mass, Dec 26. Mrs. Alma
r. Moulton, 23 yenrs old, was murdered
in most cowardly and brutal manner
early yesterday morning by her hus-
band, Frank L. Moulton, dissipated
barber, who beat her brains ont with a
flat iron, Moulton, who is about 35 years
old, was engaged at his place of employ
ment Christmas eve until nearly IL
o'clock. He then left for his home, ac-
companied by his employer, who says
he did not touch liquor on the way.

quent quarrels, chiefly because of the
obstinate disposition of each. On this
occasion they again quarreled over some
trivial matter, during which Mrs. Moul-
ton slapped his face and in return was
cholsed by her husband. Moulton, in
speaking of the quarrel, says it was q
matter Of who should rule their home,
of which both had different opinions
Finally he became euraged, and, seizing
Hat iron. asked her if she would give
in. Upon his wife replying in the mega
tive, he says, II let her have the fiat
iron as hard as /. could hit" The first
blow felled her, and then he struck her
again and again, while she lay prostrate
on the floor Of the room. Life was ex-
tinct when neighbors, attracted by the
struggle, entered the house. The wo-
mans head was pounded out of shape,
one ear was severed and the skull frac-
tured. Moulton, after his crime, left
the house and repaired to barroom,
where he was found later in beastly
state of intoxication.

New YORK, Dec. ga brawl oc-
CURED yesterday in Tom Gould's dive
on Sixth avenue, which eliminated in
the murder of John Woogan, the reputed
owner of the place, but in reality the
man selected by Gould to manage the
dive. Joseph Selling, an ex-convict, did
the shooting. Selling and companion
had been in the place about half an hour
and were more boisterous than even the
laxness of the dive in such matters
would allow. Woogan attempted to
eject the men, when Selling drew a re-
volver and shot him in the abdomen,
Woogan died in less than thirty minutes
afterwards. The murderer was imme-
diately arrested. He claims that the
shooting was done in self defense.

allowed Deipnine to enter, and it being
dark, she resolved to light the lamp.
When the lamp was lighted Delphine
proceeded to carry it to her mistress
room, when suddenly the lamp was
knocked out of her grasp and she was
seized by the assassin, who at the same
time stabbed her in the breast. Hastily
withdrawing his murderous blade from
the wound thus inflicted, ho cut the poor
girls throat as che struggled to FREQ her.
self. In her battle for life Delphine
succeeded in tearing the murderer's
knife from his hand and it rolled on the
ground and to some place where he
could not find it in the dark. While he
was hunting for the weapon, Delphine
ran to the dining room window and
raised the alarm, as previously de-
scribed. The murderer then made his
escape as rapidly as possible.
Deiphine was unable to give adescrip-
tion of the assailant, but the servant Of
the apartment above the Dellards and
the concierge were able to describe him,
and the description led to the arrest of
Anastuy. The police act upon the theory
that the man was not alone in commit
ting the murder. The crime, it should
be added, bore go close q resemblance in
general details to tho assassination a
short time ago of NJ Olivier, the money
lender, at Neuilly, that the police are to
great extent justified in their sus-
picions, They believe that both the
Olivier murder and the assassination of
the Baroness Dellard are the work OF an
organized band of assassins, more num-
erous and more extensive in their organ
ization than at first supposed, and that
Lieutenant Anastuy was possibly the
chief of this gang Of assassinators.
Anastuy's Confession.
1t is reported that Anastuy had made
full confession OF the murder, and that
he has expressed his deep repentance for
the crime. He has confessed that the
motive of the crime was robbery; that
he had every reason for being grateful
TO the baroness and her son, as he owed
his position to Baron DellArd. 1t appears
that Anastuy had abandoned a woman
with whom he had been living for some
time. This woman knew that he was
the murderer, and in revenge she de-
nounced him to the police. Anastuy is
but go years of age. The murderer's con-
fession is confirmed by the recognition
of the maid whom he nearly murdered.

aged 22, q servant girl at the residence
of H. p. Boyd, Buena Vista street, Al

cut her wrist with the carving knife and
finally hanged herself with a clothes
line from a hook in the cellar. She
was not dead yet when the family came
down, but died a few minutes later. Re-

suicide.

THE WATERFORD ELECTION.
1t Causes Bitter Comment from the Dub
lin Irish Catholic.

lin Irish Catholic.
LONDON, Dec. 26-The result of the
election at Waterford for member of
parliament to succeed the late Richard
Power was surprise to the political
prophets. Mr.. John e. Redmond, the
Parncllite candidate, easily defeated the
McCarthyite representative, Mr.. Michael
Davitt. The polling was as follows:
Mr.. John q. Redmond Parnellite), 1775;
Mr.. Michael Dayitt McCarthyite), 1929.
Majority for Mr. Redmond, $40.
DUBLIN, Dec. 28.-The Dublin Irish
Catholic, anti -Parnellite and reputed or
gan of the hierarchy, says in an ex-
tremely bitter article that ''the tidings
Of the victory of the traitorism at
Waterford is the tocsin for farther bat
tie. Thorough Irishmen must vow not
to make compact or truce, and not to
yield truth or pity to those who have
sought to make freand the victim of
trsachery without a parable, and to betray
it, bound and helpless, to a conspiracy,
tyrannical and irreligious.
Ihe article in The Irish Catholic only
voices the general excitement that the
result Of tho Waterford election has
caused among the anti-P Parnollites, and
especially among the priests. In Dublin
the Parnellites, on the other hand, are
highly elated, and many of them went
about yesterday making double cele-
bration for Christmas and Waterford.
Groups of men on the streets shouted
for Redmond and hooted for Healy. The
Parnellites appear to have no special
feeling against Dayitt, who is regarded
only as representing the opposite cause,
and has not been abusive Of Parnell since
tho death Of that leader.
