Took Her Life.

MAYFIELD, March S.-About IL o'clock
last night the people living in the vicinity
of the home of Herman Groessel were
startled by the SOUND of q pistol shot,
which seemed TO come from the home of
Groessel. Those who rushed in TO learn
the cause of the shot found Mrs. Groessei
dying from the effect of a wound In her
right temple. and in her right hand she
still held tie pistol with which she had
fired the fatal charge.
Mrs. Groessel had been sick for some
time with typhoid fever. and had remarked
that she would not suffer long if she did
not improve soon. The neighbors had
been taking the best care OF her, as her
husband was gone during the day. attend
ing to his work. and she was not con-
sidered to be considered dangerously i'll, so
he did not think 1t necessary to remain
with her during the day. as long as she
was being we'll taken care of.
Last night Mr.. Groessel retired as usual
to his room and left his wife in charge of
a nurse. He had intended staying up
himself. but his wife persuaded him TO 60
to his room, saying, you must go and
get some rest, as you work hard during the
day."
Some time after he had retired he heard
a noise in his wife's room, and he got up
to see If anything was wanted. His wife
was sitting up in bed and seemed TO be
somewhat startled at seeing her husband
coming in. Ii is likely that she was then
intending to get up and get the revolver,
which was in a drawer near the bed.
Groessel asked his wife il she wished any
thing, and she replied, no. that she was
only little restless and could not sleep.
Again he went back 10 his room and
tried to sleep. The nurse had gone Into
another room for something and left Mrs.
Groessel alone. The sick woman got up.

and before the nurse could return Mrs.
GroesseI had sent bullet into her right
temple. Death was almost instantaneous.
The husband rushed in TO find his wife
dying, the blood flowing from an ugly
wound in her head. Medical aid was at
once sent for, but nothing could be done.
The deceased leaves a husband and two
small children. Why she committed the
deed cannot be known, as the family are
in moderately good circumstances, her hus-
band having been employed at the Stan

STRUGGLE FOR HOME RULE.
GladStOne'S Retirement Means a
Scheme for Defeat.
NO CONFIDENCE IN ROSEBERY.
The Great Leader Says the Green
Isle Will Receive Only What 1t
EFFORTS From England.

LONDON. March S.-Tbe Associated
Press agent of this city has received from
John Redmond his address to the irish
people, which will be published in Dublin
tomorrow. 1t says, Ia part: "a crisis
has arisen in the fortunes of our country
which makes IL imperative to address you
in advice and warning. 1t is unnecessary
to recall the circumstances under which
the extraordinary demand was made upon
tie Irish party to abandon and overthrow
their leader. Gladstone's letter demanding
ParDelPs withdrawal contained no threat
of resignation and no hint that the Liberal
party would change its attitude on home
rule.
I'm o moment of extreme weakness
Parnell withdrew, avowedly to maintain
Gladstone's leadership and preserve an
alliance with the Liberals. Many evil
consequences of what we predicted have
already come to pass, and an hon orable
alliance with the English party has degen-
Grated, as far as the betrayers of Parnell
are concerned. into copfederacy with the
Government of the day in the policy of
jury packing, eviction. house burning in
Ireland, refusal of amnesty to political
prisoners. delay or denial of justice to
evicted tenants, and the prosecution of
popular leaders who espouse their cause
''We warn our fellow-countrymen that
Gladstone's retirement can have an origin
only in scheme to defeat the hopes of the
Irish people by the abandonment of home
rule, or by such compromise as can only be
regarded by Ireland as an insult and
mockery.
"In Lord R0sebery and the present Cab
met we can have no confidence and we
warn our fellow-countrymen to have none.
They will concede just as much as Ireland
EFFORTS by the organization OF her people.
THE time has arrived, net only for plain
speaking, but for prompt action, and we
call upon you to no longer tolerate
policy of national subserviency to English
party interests. Organize forces of our
race in support of the struggle for national
government. Insist the cause of Ireland
be kept boldly 10 the front by those who
speak In your behalf, and show you regard
it nobler in your race and more BETTING
the dignity and honor of Ireland to con-
tinue, if necessary. the bitter struggle with
both English parties than TO continne to be
the scorn of one and the deluded dupes of
the other"
The address is signed by John Redmond,
Timothy Harrington and Joseph Edward
Kenny.

The Kindergarten Teachers Win
Their Fight at San Jose.

SAN JOSE, March SIN the Superior
Court here to-day Judge Lorrigan rem
dered decision in the case brought by
Kathryn Sinnot and Belle Mackenzie
against Joseph Columbet. City Treasurer
of San Jose. The action was brought by
the plaintiffs TO recover their salaries as
teachers in the kindergarten schools in
this city. Their warrants we're not paid
by the Treasurer on the ground OF the
action of the Common Council in excIud-
ing the kindergarten fund when providing
for grammar and primary funds.
The court held that the Common Coun-
Gil had DO right to make this discrimina-
ton; that the body had to deal only with
the general city school fund, and it is in
the province of the city Board of Educa-
ton only to designate the particular funds.
The plaintiff kathryn Sinnot was
granted a writ of mandate compelling the
Treasurer TO pay her warrant. The litiga-
tion has prevented the Kindergarten teach
ers of San jose from receiving their SAL
aries for several months.
