COLUMBUS, Ohio, April Last Satur.
day Mrs. w. FL. B. Williams. wife of a
village eight miles southeast of Col.
umbus, arrived in the city with three
children, Annie, aged IA. Maud, aged
12, and Harry, aged 2, and registered at
the Park Hotel. This morning about 8
O'clock Mrs. Williams left tho hotel,
and about 8 O'Clock this afternoon q
chambermaid, who went to the room,
found two of the children, Maud and
Harry, dead in bed with their throats
cut.
There was bloody razor on the foot
of the bed with which the mother muir
dered her children. The boy had died
without struggle, but there were evil
dences that the girl had made 6srce
fight for lie. Annie ssit that when her
mother went away she cautioned the
girl not to 20 to bed and not to ssyany-
thing to anybody about her absence
Mr.. Willisms arrived this afternoon and
would not permit his daughter to talk
Later Williams end his daughter were
locked up at the police station pending
an investigation. This evening Mira
Williams was arrested. She showed no
evidences Of inssnsty, and told the
story Of the horrible crime in q calm
voice. She said she had made up her
mind last week to kill herself and her
children, and came to Columbus for tn t
purpose. She secured some opium and
all three took the drug Saturday night.
1t took effect only on the little girl,
Maud. She then determined TO &c cure
o razor, and waited until this morning.
She fret cut the boys wrist, expect
ing him to bleed to death. He
awakened, however, and then she cut
his throat. The body of Maud was not
touched by the razor. Mrs. Williams
said she then asked Annie to let her
cut her wrist, but the child begged so
piteously she lost courage and left the
hotel intending to drown herself. She
said 1t then occurred to her that Annie
| might be accused of the crime and she
changed her mind and went to the
house of friend, Mrs. John G.. Lester,
in another part OF the town where she
WAS found this evening.

ALL FOOLS DAY,
Aud Some of the Events Happsnin

Aud Some of the Events Happening
Here.
Yesterday was tho first day of April,
"All Fools Day" and many persons
were sent on bootless errands. The
origin OF this day Is involved in doubt.
Some say It is perhaps travesty of the
sending hither and thither of the
Saviour, from Annas to Caiaphas and
from PLATE to Herod, because during
the middle ages this scene in Chriss's
lilo was made the subject of a miracle
play. 1t is possible, however. that it
may be relic OF some old heather
festival. The custom of playing little
tricks on the unguarded on this day is
universal throughous America and
Europe.
a CREST many practical jokers en-
joyed hearty laugh at the manner in
which the unguarded were tricked and
fooled. A we'll known newspaper man
OF this city received noto purporting
to be from society young lady, asking
him to meet her at Green's jewelry
store to talk about n certain mstter.
The gentleman in question spent
few minutes in arranging his toilet,
put on new pair of buff SHOES and
hurried to the store and not seeing the
lady took Jim Green aside and asked
him IL the young lady had bean in the
store. Jimmie replied: "She was
here the first of April last year" The
newspaper man took the cue. and in a
crestfallen manner returned to his
sancsum, vowing that he would not be-
lieve any man on oath on the first day
of April.
President Buckner, OF the City Couu-
ell was caught, and he spent an hour or
SO in sending acquain tances on fruitless
errands in order to get even.
number of gentlemen spent q few
hours on the corner of Jefferson street
and Campbell avenue and the result
was that Messrs. Terry, Trout and @. A.
McHugh, in the Terry building, re-.
ceived q number OF callers.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

The present week will witness the
opening of the baseball season in this
city. On Thursday the local players
will meet the strong Boston team, and
between that time and April 10 the pub.
lie will have the opportunity Of seeing
several OF the strongest of the National
League clubs play on the Roanoke dia-
mond. On the 18th the Virginia league
cham pionship season will open, and
thenceforward the excitement will in
crease until.th ownership Of the league
pennant and the "Green cup" has
been decided
Baseball has become pre-eminently
the national pastime, and Justly 90
since 1t illustrates in marked degree
many Of the characteristics OF the
American people. Unlike the popular
amusements of NEST of the older nations
OF the world, which have come down
from medieval times with only the
notifications required by the advanced
moral sentiment OF the present time,
baseball is clean and m anly sport. full

point in its favor IN the eyes of the
busy American public is the fact that it
requires but couple of hours to play
full game, while cricket, beloved of our
English cousins, generally consumes
the greater portion Of as many days.
Whatever may be the merits or de.
merits Of the game, Young America he's
declared enthusiastically in its favor,
and their fathers and older brothers
carry into later years strong predilec-
tion for its stirring excitement. Nor is
this the weakest argument in its be-
hslf--that many Of the men who con-
duct large mercantile interests, lead the
thought Of the present generation in
school, church and State, and occupy
positions Of trust and influence in the
community. are ardent admirers OF the
game, and advocate it's merits as noble
and manly sport, worthy of cultivation
by the strong-limbed and clean minded
youth of the land.
