and Slander.

LONDON. Oct. 31.-In the Queens Bench

Of the troubles in which Mrs. Osborne be-
came involved through stealing the jewels
from her friend, Mrs Hargraves. Mrs.
Leader. who is the wife Ct Lieutenant

General Smythe, for damages and SANDER
Mrs. Leader called on Mrs. Smythe. After
Mrs. Leader had gone away Mrs. Smyths
missed diamond brooch. Some time af-
ter Mrs. Smythe was In the west-end and
saw her brooch exposed for sale In a shop
window. She went into the shop and asked
the proprietor where he got the brooch,
and he told her he had bought 1t from Mrs.
Leader. Mrs. Smythe denies that she ac-
cused Mrs Leader of stealing the brooch,
but pleads that If she used the words inn
puted to her by Mrs. Leader she was justi

asserts that Mrs. Smythe never owned the
brooch in question. She declares that she
received it as a marriage present from a
gentleman now dead. but who was form

we owe all the details OF this building.
His name will always be connected with
this monument to the reformation. For
the living generation. the Schlosskirche
ought to be not only marke for the
past, but also a serious warning Tor tne

the expression of the blessings brought TO

Therein is the living bond OF peace,
which reaches beyond schism. In mat

only the free conviction OF the heart is
decisive. and this is the blessed fruit or
the reformation. We Evangelicals do not
fight anybody in religious matters, but
we cling to our confession until death.
That is my confidence, my prayer, my

KILLED HER MOTHER.
In Fit of Insanity Mrs. Marsan Deals the
Fatal Blow.

BOSTON. Oct. 3l.-Mrs. Annie f. Brown
lee, an aged lady, residing with her
daughter at Cambridge. was found dead
In her house this morning. with her head
pounded almost beyond the possibility OF
recognition.
Mrs. Mary b. Marean, the daughter. Is
under arrest, charged with the murder,
which she admits having committed. Mrs.
narean told the police that she did not
know why she had killed her mother. and
she Is supposed to have been temporarily
insane when she committed the deed.
The weapon used was a heavy iron fur
mace shaker
Mrs. Marean says that early this morn
Ing she and her mother were chatting
pleasantly, when the old lady kissed her
and told her she was a very dutiful daugh-
ter The murderess then said: "As
mother started 10 go upstairs, l walked
up behind her and struck her on the head
with a wrench"
After the police had a talk with Mrs.
Marean she apparently began to realize
what she had done. breaking down and
acting in pitiable manner. 1t was
learned this evening that the woman had
severe attack Of the grip two years
ago. and that she had never fully recov-
cred from its effects. OF late she had
shown signs Of insanity. but did not
act Violently, and her mother had no
trouble in controlling her. She is about
hfty years old, and is the widow Of the
late George b. Marean
One Of the neighbors says that Mrs.
Marean came into her house this morning
and calmly Informed her that she had
killed her mother. Her bearing was so
composed and she seemed so unconcerned
that the neighbor thought she was only
joking but upon insisting that she spoke
the truth the nelghbor went 10 the
Marean house and found the corpse OF
Mrs. Brownlee. The Mortified woman
quickly notified the police.
Mrs. Marean made no attempt to escape
and apparently took no interest In what
was going on around her.
IL seems for a long time Mrs. Marean
has been very low spirited. She seems
first and leave behind her poor old
mother without anyone TO care for her.
This thought so preyed upon her mind
that she frequently spoke Of 1t to others.
The couple had just enough money 10
get along modestly. but nothing to spare.
They owned the house in which they
lived. which is quite a large two-story,
French rooted dwelling There is no
doubt as 10 the insanity OF Mrs. Marean,
the doctors say, who began an inyestiga-
tion into her mental condition this morn
ing, and she will probably be committed
TO an asylum.
There are no children. The wound was
q deep one on the right temple from
which the brain oozed out.

LYNCHBURG. VA. Oct. 3l.-Special.- -
Evangelist w. p. Fife held three meetings in
the Tabernacle on Daniels Hill Yesterday
morning, afternoon and night. He spoke
with great power to large audiences. He
expressed some disappointment at the size OF
the crowd In the morning, saying that he ex-
pected to see the house full. The reason
that il was not full was the fact that the
building is mile from the business centre
OF the city. and that the building was too
cold to be comfortable.
In the afternoon the house was nearly
filed and also at night. The room WAS so
uncomfortable aud the evangelist so much
broken down by recent hard work that he
decided it would be best to come down
town, and be announced last night that To.

WATER rs At A PREMIUM
All Over West Pennsylvania Owing to
the Drv Spell.


PITTSBURG. PA, Oct. 31.-Water is
becoming scarce owing to the continu-
ance OF dry weather. All over Western
Pennsylvania much inconvenience is being
occasicned by the drying up of the
sources of the supply, and the precious
fluid has in many instances to be
transported for miles. A heavy rainfall
is awaited with anxiety.
Along the line Of the Pennsylvania
railroad between this city and Altoona
the effects of the drought are particularly
felt by the railroad and a number of
towns between these points are ex-
peTiencing the unpleasant sensation of
having to hustle for their water supply.
At tWo points on the Pittsburg division
it is found necessary TO bring water for
miles away by train.
At Gallitzin, the highest point in the
Allegheny mountains, water is also at a
premium, and the supply is brought by
rail from Portage ten miles distant.
The city reservoir in Altoona is proving
entirely inadequate to furnish the city.
In fact but a few inches OF water is in
it. and the reservoir of the Pennsylvania
railroad has been called upon. The same
story is told in other towns.
In Greensburg the local water company
Is unable to furnish fun supply 10 its
patrons. and many or them nave been
compelled 10 fall back upon their wells.
Irwin is in the same condition as the
people of that place secure their water
from the same company that supplies
GreensbuIg.
On the southwest branch Of the
Pennsylvania railroad the people also
feel the shortage, and Scottsdale and
other towns are short I'm their supply.
In the mountains It Is stated that at sew
eral places the scene of water being sold
from wagons in the streets is not an un-
common one. II has been years since the
scarcity Of water was as prevalent as
II is now, and unless rain soon makes its
appearance suffering may be apparent.
