A Shocking Double Traee edy in an Oak
land Church.
OAKLAND, March 18.-John Brady. a
painter, shot and killed Mary Brady, his
wife, and then committed suicide this
morning in the church of the Immacu-
late Conception in this city. Brady and
his wife had been separated about two
years. He was much dissipated and
appears to have harrassed her great
deal. This morning Mrs. Brady went to
mass, arriving after the service. She
entered the church and knelt down to
pray near the altar. Brady entered and
took seat behind her. She appears to
have been unaware of his presence. No
others were in the church. Suddenly
Brady drew a pistol, and placing the
weapon at the back OF his wiie's head,
drew the trigger. The woman was killed
instantly. Then Brady pointed the pis-
toll toward his own body and fred, the
ball going through his right lung.
Meanwhile the noise of the shots had
attracted back to the church many of
the mass celebrants and they rushed
forward to overpower Brady. He bran
dished his pistol wildly and threatened
to shoot anyone who advanced. The
crowd hesitated. Then Brady placed
tine pistol to his forehead and blew out
his brains. Brady was about As years
of age and his vile the same.
They were once we'll to do. Since
their domestic trouble Brady has been
out of work much OF the time. He was
probably deranged.

Catholic church, particularly it's In

that nuns are permitted to so through
all the departments on begging
missions, and even to stand by when
the clerks are receiving their pay and
solicit contributions, and that the
Catholic influence is potent in ell the
departments in matters OF appointment,
promotions and dismissals. Numerous
instances were cited in which Pro-
testants were Disseminated against in
favor of Catholics.
The speaker said: "The departments
are full OF just Hucn cases and an invea-
tigation will not only substantiate my
words, but will bring to light many
ways that are dark and tricks that are
not In vain, to which the Roman CathO-
lie church has resorted to to find
positions for true Catholics. The Nor
mons and the Romanists are the only
religions that have maintained bureaus
at Washington for lobbylngin the inter-

France has unqucstionably decided
upon another high handed outrage
against a weak and holpioss country,
which apparently has not even as many
friends as poor Siam. Myre do Vilers
has gono to Madagascar, practically to
demand the abdioation Of the govern
ment and to annex ths great and rich
islands to the French domain. 1t re-
mains to be seenif tho great powers, in
Guiding the United States, VIII permit
the execution of this plan. The instruc-
tions given to tho special emissary were
nominally secret, but there is no doubt
that the outlines given by the govern
ment organs in Paris are substantially
correct. The following are the chief
points of the demand, with war IS tho
penalty Of refusal:
The first is the revision Of the treaty
Of 1885. The next that frances terri
tory at Diego Suarez shall DO extended
to Passandano bay, on the western side
Of Madagascar, and to Vohemar bay ON
the cast; that Majurga and Nossi Be,
on the west coast, and Fort Dauphin,
Tamatave, Manaboudro, Andovoran, to
Foule Pointe and Mananara, on the east
ern shores, shall, with their adjacent
territories, be oedod to France. Further
more, that the French residents shall
have the right to control all the actions
of the Malagasy government, including
its foreign policy and international adj
ministration.
Opposition will DO offered to what is
described as the steady invasion by the
Hovas Of tho territory Of the Antakares.
Then Myre do Vilers is to insist that
tho French be allowed to acquire prop
erty in the island instead Of holding it
on long leases. Likewise that they be
empowered to claim concessions Of
mines, works and SO Oh. Concessions for
which foreigners may apply will only
be granted after examination at the
French residoncy. The French plenipo-
Tertiary was also instructed to demand
full compensation for his countryrnen
who have been victims of vexatious
treatment on tho part of the Hova gov
ernment
1t is assumed, very naturally in
Paris, that the Malagasy government
will refuse thus to surrender all its pow
ers and independence to France, and SO
preparations are already making for q
naval and military expedition on a large
scale. The plan is to undertake this
patriotic invasion two months hence, al
a momont when. it is now feared, SO
