BEHEADED AT THE ALTAR.

A Madman Amuck in Q Village Catholic
Church in spain-The Priest Assassin
ated and q Woman Kined-The Maniac
Probably Suicide.
MADRID, April 16.-A most horrible deed
was committed yesterday in a small church
at Anglesea, village in the Province of
Lerida The usual services of Good Friday
were being observed, and the church was
filled to its utmost capacity. Father Fran
cisco Marti, the priest in charge of the
parish, was kneeling at the altar. Sud-
| denly man, armed with q revolver and a
short sword, sprang out from behind the
pulpit, to the left of the altar where he had
been concealed, and rushed upon the priest
brandishing his sword.
Father Marti, whose back was to the con.
gregation, seemed to have instructive warn
ing that danger threatened him, and he
partly turned his head in the direction of
the man. But he was too late to do more
than raise his hand to attempt to ward off
the sword blow he saw aimed at him. The
man stood over his kneeling victim, and in
an instant the priest lay dead in front of the
altar where he, had long served The
assassin's blow had struck the back of his
neck, and the keen blade almost severed his
head from the body. The corpse fell for
ward and a stream of blood poured down the
altar steps. Part of the hand the priest
had raised in his vain effort to ward off the
blow was cut off and lay beside the bleeding
body.
Women shrieked in terror and many of
them tainted Some of the more cool
headed men attending the services made an
attempt to seize the murderer, but they
were thwarted. Leveling a revolver he

captors to seek safety in flight. One woman,
shrinking and crouching close to the altar
rail, was hit by one of the bullets. She
uttered most piercing shrek, threw up
her hands and fell dead to the floor. A gen.
eral rush was made for the doors, and many
of the people were thrown down and

hind them. Many of them were quite
seriously injured in this manner, among the
number being some children, who 1t is be.
lieved will die. The assassin sprang into
the fleeing crowd, and welding his sword,
still dripping with the blood of the muir
dered priest, he slashed right and left,
cutting his way to the street. Quite num-
Der were struck by the weapon and danger
ously wounded.
When he reached the street the assassin
started on a run and soon vanished. The
civil guard was alarmed by the frightened
people, and a pursuit was Immediately Or
ganized. Thus far every effort to capture
the murderer has been in vain, but the |
search has not been abandoned. From de- |
scriptions given of him the murderer has |
been identified as a retired soldier. It is |
thought probable that the assassin has
sought some secluded place and there killed |
himself No reason is known for the crime. |
and 1t is believed by almost everyone that
the man was insane.

minds of immigrants, the most popular city
In America west Of New York. Chicago,
Cincinnati and other rivals of Pittsburg
are considered mere villages by the
foreigner Of day or q week In the United
States who sees or thinks he sees fortune

row or steal enough cash to buy railroad

poportion of the Slavs, Poles and Italians
speak as they step from the gang plank of

tion is ''Pittsburg" in as many different

could think of in a day. They. are all
anxious to get to the Iron City first and
from there they scatter all over Western
Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia
The only record of destination the immi-
grant authorities keep is of the States to
which the foreigners say they are going.
As the immigrants idea of estate" is as
limited as the rest Of his knowledge, it is
almost always necessary for the clerk to
learn the name Of the town or city. In
this way the authorities have found out
that more immigrants 60 to Pittsburg than
any city in America except New York. A
great many, Of course, remain at the port
for week or 90 until contract agents pick
them up and send them to different parts of
the country. This makes the proportion
for New York larger than it Is in fact
Nearly 1000 for Pittsburg in March.
During the month Of March, I learned
from receiving clerk, there were 7,467 i'm

explanation, and he said the falling Of in
the immigration to this country is not due
to any mercy of the Russian authorities,
but 70 the fact that the exiled Hebrews
have been persuaded to seek homes in the
Argentine Republic instead of America
"0ur people are going to South Americs
by the thousands" continued Mr.. Reinherk
'"The opportunity for them to engage In
farming is better there than here, and we
think that il the best thing for them to do,
Baron de Hirsch has contributed $15, ,000, 900
to provide Russian Hebrews in the Argen.
tine Republic with farming implements and
stock. The land costs them nothing, and
other Inducements are so great that few
exiles are going to other countries.
Tragic Death Of . Refugee.

cruelty Of the Russian officials or the Ger
mans, who will not allow exiles to cross
their borders OF the six Hebrew exiles
who landed on Thursday one of them told
me that while trying to steal across the Ger.
man border at night his brother, who was
with him, was shot dead in his tracks The
living brother escaped to the house Of .
friend, who the next day put him in Q
wagon box, covered him with straw and
hauled him to railroad station, from which
he was able to make his way to sea port"
Referring to the Pittsburg branch of the
Hebrew Charities, Mr.. Reinherz said 1t was
one of the most liberal in the country, and
had taken good care Of all the exiles he had
sent to them.
All immigrants are now received at the
new station at Ellis Island, which has been
brought into notice by the Congressional
investigation with regard to expenditures.
Castle Garden as a place of public interest
Is no more. It has been as famous as the
rock of Gibraltar, but hereafter novelists
and romance writer's must use the less
poetic name of Ellis Island. But while
romance may have lost something in the
change of name, it has been a gamer from
the fact that when the immigrant leaves
Ellis Island in the ferry boat he is free to
land without having his enthusiasm chilled
by undergoing the sharp questions Of the
Federal officials. As things were formerly
arranged, immigrants were landed at the
station and after passing two or three hours
with the officials were showed out into Q
new world through big door that led to q

the shadow cast BY the gallery. He rarely
speaks in debate, and to all outward ap-
pearance the Irish Parliamentary majority
is led by Thomas Sexton and Timothy
Healy.
Rumor Kept on the Wing.
Nobody in authority will say what all
this pretends, but rumor is busy enough. It
is asserted, for instance, that Mr. Dillon is
about to retire into private life, and Mr..
O'Brien is credited with the intention Of
emigrating to more equable climate, in
order to get cured of his lung trouble. On
the other hand, it is whispered that these
gentlemen, SO far from retiring from the
struggle, intend shortly to attempt to purge
the party by issuing an appeal to the Irish
people to elect only candidates whose
stanchess is vouched for by John Dillon
and William O'Brien.
The outlook is disheartening to the friends
of ireland. Whichever way they turn, the
strong brain and iron hand of Parnell are
urgently required and are sought in vain.
Great Britain's Grand Old Man has this
week, without apparent effort, succeeded In

sought to erect airy castles upon the hypo-
thesis that the ex-Premier's day was past

were failing. On Monday he sat attentively

The Old Man Hard to Knock Out.
At 10 o'clock he and Mrs. Gladstone were
on their way to Euston, with valise and
wraps to catch the train for Hawarden. The
horse fell, kicked, broke the shafts and
smashed in the front of the brougham, but
before the coachman could get off his box the
Grand Old Juvenile had alighted and hailed
a passing hanson, and in two minutes was
on his way again to the station. The 300
mile ride in a railway carriage was to him |
one of restful ease, and the carriage drive |

PHILADELPHIA, April 16-Deputy Cor
oner Dugan held an inqnest at noon to-day
on the body of Richard M. Watson, prom
inent stock broker of New York, who COM
mitted suicide in q remarkably cool manner
late Thursday night According to evil
dence presented, Watson entered St.
Joseph's Hospital February 13, being over
come with an attack of acute alcoholism
while visiting the city. He experienced q
similar trouble before in New York City,
where for time he was treated at St. Vim
cents Hospital.
Although the fact was not generally
known, Watson's mind had also been some
what unbalanced, and he had delusions con.
cerning imaginary losses of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the stock market
After spending eight weeks in the hospital,
Watson seemed to be improving, and went
out for q walk with friend named Thomas
McDevitt Thursday evening.
On Broad street he entered a drug store,
where he had previously introduced him
sell as Dr. w atson, OF StJ Joseph's Hospital,
and asked for an eighth Of an ounce OF sui
phate of morphia Supposing him to be
habitual morphine consumer, the druggist
refused to fill the order without prescrip-
tion. Watson complied by writing an order
on the back of an old envelope, signing his
name as CDR. Richard M Watson" Then
he asked for glass, but the druggist re-
fused.
In company with his friend, Watson then
went to q neighboring saloon, where he
poured the drug into an empty glass, which
he then ordered filed with beer. He drank
the foaming contents before McDevitt real
lied what had happened, and when the
latter questioned him as to the meaning of
what had occurred, Watson coolly replied:
"T've taken enough poison to kill four men,
and I'll be dead in 20 minntea"
He volunteered the additional informa-
tion that he preferred death to life in an in
sane asylum. McDevitt hurried the unfor-
tunate man into a. cab, and drove to the hos
pital where he died few hours later despite
the physicians efforts A verdict of death
from taking morphia while temporarily in
sane was rendered by the jury

continued the clerk, 'tars mostly Slavs,
Poles, Hungarians and italians who have
no trade, no money, nothing but ignorance,
destitution and power of endurance that

drive others to starvation. They are not

they are certainly the most ignorant They
are not of the horde that are evoluted into

except New York OF course, the Worlds

Just then ragged working man with
coffee sack that contained his wardrobe in
his arms spoke to the receiving clerk, who
translated the immigrants question as being
one about Pittsbprg. Through the clerk Is
an interpreter, the italian told me his cap
ital consisted Of $15, big knife and lots Of

reached Pittsburg. He thought he would
take a job in an iron mill, but he hadn't

he hadn't . friend on this side of the At

ceives.
