A MOTHERS CRIME.
Poisons Her Daughter and Cuts Her Sons
Throat with a Razor.


COLUMBUS, o., April last Satur-
day Mrs. w. H. b. Williams, wife of a
real estate man residing at Grove City,
a village about eight miles southeast of
Columbus, arrived in the city with her
three children-Annie, aged Ia; Maud,
aged IL, and Harry, aged 7-and regis
tered at the Park hotel. Yesterday
morning about o'clock Mrs. Williams
left the hotel and about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon chambermaid, who went to
the room to put it in order, found two
of the children, Maud and Harry, dead
in bed, the latter with his throat cut.
There was bloody razor on the foot of
the bed.
Annie said that when her mother
went away she cautioned her not to go
near the bed and to say nothing to any
one about her absence.
Mr. Williams arrived later in the
afternoon, and would not permit his
daughter to talk. He and his daughter
were locked up at the police station
pending an investigation.
Shortly afterward Mrs. Williams was
arrested. She showed no evidences of
insanity and told the story of the hoITi-
BILE crime in calm voice. She said she
had made up her mind last week to kill
herself and her children and came to
Columbus for that purpose. She Sc
cured some opium and all three took the
drug Saturday night. 1t took effect
only on the little girl, Maud. She then
determined to secure a razor, and wait
ed until yesterday morning. She first
cut the boys wrist, expecting him to
bleed to death. He awakened, how
ever, and then she cut his throat. The
body of Maud was not touched by the
razor.
Mrs. Williams 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 her
self. She said it then occurred to her
that Annie might be accused of the
crime and she changed her mind and
went to the house of a friend, Mrs. John
G. Lester, i'll another part of the town,
where she was found yesterday evening
Aul4ie was witness of the murder OF
her little brother She said that when
her mother went away from the hotel
the latter cautioned her not to leave the
room for 10 on 20 minutes. Annie wait.
ed and then went to her fathers office
in the city and delivered to him a note
which her mother had given her for her
father. She also told her father accord
ing to her mothers request that the
two children were dead, and he hastily
returned with her to the hotel.

strong, who has been in Youngstown
for number of days as member of
the conference committee of the Anal
gdmated Association of Iron and Steel

terday. He said the agreement reached
regarding the scale of wages for iron

SUSPECTS HOUSES BURNED.
A Missouri County Excited over an Afro
C;ous Crime.

CUBA, Mo-, April 2.-The greatest el.
element prevails throughout the south
ern and western portions of Crawford
county on account of the arrest of Alex
NJ. Green and his FIVE SONS and their
confinement in the Crawford county
Jail for the murder of David Hildar-
brand on Wednesday night last about
10 miles southwest of Cuba. Officers Of
the county have made and are still
making every effort to bring to justice
the perpetrators of the foul murder
The body has been eXhGmed and will
be examined as far as it is possible to do
i'll its terribly charred condition. A
bloody AK handle and clothing have
been found upon the premises of the
Greens and other evidence Of a most
damaging character.
Considering the feeling existing be-
tween the accused the father-in-law
and brothers-in-law of the murdered
man, the divorce proceedings between
the accused and his wife, and the bad
reputation of the accused, it is the sem
timent of the general public that the
guilty parties are now in custody. Last
night the vicinity of the murder was
filed with armed citizens, and another
chapter of crime was added in the burn
ing of the dwellings of the Greens, COM
prising three families. The Jail is closely
guarded to prevent the lynching of the
suspected aSsaSsins.

been praying for this boon, as they are

ELECTION IN MICHIGAN.
A Very Light Vote Cast and the Repub-
leans Were Victorious,


DETROIT, April Elm the election of
a justice Of the supreme court and two
regents of the university yesterday
Michigan Republicans were again easily
victorious The vote was very light
throughout the state, not to exceed half
the vote of last fall being polled. The
latest indications are that Moore Re-
publican, defeated McGrath, Democrat,
the present incumbent, by $4,000. The
Republican plurality on governor in
1894 was LOG, 1902 The Republican can.
didates for regents are elected by about
similar pluralities
Reports from the city and township
elections thus far show that the Repub-
licans have held their own for the most
part. The voters appeared to be apa,
thetic and the interest Of the women in
the outcome of the objections of school
trustees seems to have been no excep-
ton to the rule as the women's vote as
yet shows no increase.

DEPEW ON EDUCATION.
An Address Delivered at the COnvocation
of the Chicago University.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The convocation
of Chicago university was in the Audi
forum last night. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew delivered the address. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Depew said:
1.-THE best use to which wealth can be
applied is to assist these great universe
ties, which are educating the youth of
our land.
This institution which owes IFS ex-
istence to the beneticence OF Rockefeller,
is in itself monument Of the proper
use of wealth accumulated by man of
genius. So is Vanderbilt, and 80 are
the old colleges, as they have received
the benefication of generous and pa
triotic wealth But in view of the
dangers which are about us and of the
difficulties which are before us we can
not rely upon what the rich may or
what philalthropists or generosity or
wisdom may suggest.
1.-The state has already done well in
the common schools; it has done better
III the high school and better still in the
final opportunity which it gives in
many cases for a liberal education 1t
would be a long step forward in popu-
larizing higher education If the govern
ment should establish at Washington a
great national university.
"As at Oxford on Cambridge there
are historic colleges with foundations
running back for hundreds of years and
each having its own traditions, but all
part of the university. So in every state
there should be colleges, one each hav-
ing its own merits and traditions and
all of them belonging to the grand uni
versity which will represent the culture
of the new world, the University of tho
United States"

GEN. OLIVER p. COOLING INSANE.
Too Dangerous to BE at Large and viii BE
Confined at st. Elizabeth.

WASHINGTON, April "A jury en-
panelled by Marshal Wilson of the Dis
trict of Columbia to inquire into the
sanity of General Oliver p. Gooding,
after Q hearing yesterday, pronounced
him insane. He will be taken into Gus
tody and confined at st. Elizabeth.
General Gooding is West Point grad
uate and went into the war as a colonel
of a Massachusetts regiment, rising to
the ranks of brigadier general. He aft
erwards went to Indiana and later to st.
Louis. He was once police commission
er of st. Louis, and came near being
nominated for governor of Missouri He
was engaged i'll political campaign work
for several years, but lately has been
pursuing course which indicated in
sanity. He was candidate for any
vacancy in the army which would give
him brigadier's commission.
In 1892 he published book, in which
he detailed conspiracy against his life.
In this book he praised the president
very much. In a second edition
threatening tone was assumed toward
the president, who it asserted was the
head of the conspiracy against the
writer's life When this book made its
appearance the chief of police brought
the action which resulted in the exam
nation and verdict. Several experts in
insanity cases were examined and all
pronounced him insane. Some of the
physicians had made an examination of
Gooding and said his lunacy was upon
the sole subject of the conspiracy. His
latest book indicates disposition to re-
move the president. The only question
being as to the wickedness of the act
should violence be used The police
considered Gooding in his present con-
dition a very dangerous man to be
abroad.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Japan and China May Come to
Some Terms.
TREATY OF PEACE PROBABLE

The Money Indemnity Japan win Ask
VIII BE Very Considerabie-L Hung
Chang's AssaiIant VIII Probably BE Sent
to the Mines of Northern Japan-The
Envoy Recovering.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Now that the
limited armistice has been proclaimed
in the Chinese-Japanese trouble and
that Lii Hung Changes wound is improv-
ing, it is anticipated that the resump-
ton of peace negotiations will follow
speedily and will be pushed with the
view to securing a treaty of peace as
early as possible. The indemnity and
the form in which it shall be paid is one
part of the terms of peace which is be-
ing watched with interest.
The money indemnity Japan will ask
will be very considerable. There is no
information to be had concerning the
node or manner of payment nor wheth-
er it will stipulate the metal in which it
shall be paid assuming that gold or sill
yer, or both, must be paid. One sug-
gestion made is that it may be payable
III credits" or largely in bonds. The
financial probity Of the Chinese is of
the highest, and the nations reputation
for prompt settlement of its pecuniary
obligations is 50 high that it is believed
its promises TO pay would easily pass
current with the japanese, or with
others in case the indemnity was az
ranged through private agencies.
News came to the japanese legation
yesterday confirming the Associated
Press dispatches respecting the terms OF
the armistice. 1t stated that it would
last Fl days unless sooner terminated by
the breaking off Of peace negotiations,
and would include Shing-king, Shan
TunC and Pe-Chi-Li.

BIG BOILER EXpLODES
Serious Disa sters in a Tannery
at WCburn, Mass.
FIVE MEN INSTANTLY KILLED.

One other Fatally Injured and Five More
Demolished-The Property Loss Will BE
Quite Heavy-Cause of the accident I'm
knOwn-The Victims.
WOBURN, Mass, April 2.-One of the
four 50 horsepower steam boilers con-
nected with the large tannery and cur
rying shop of Lorin q Jones, on Conn
street, exploded yesterday. Five men
were instantly killed, one will die from
his injuries and several are painfully
hurt. The force OF the explosion
wrecked the tannery buildings and sew
eral dwelling houses in the neighbor-
hood were damaged. The property loss
is unknown but is large. The cause of
the disaster is not definitely known and
never will be as all the men who had
anything to do with the boilers are
dead
The dead are:
Austin Clements, aged 30, head cur
rier, leaves widow and two children.
Patrick McConigle, aged 40, oiler,
leaves a widow and three children.
Frank McMahon, aged SO, currier
leaves a widow and two children.
Patrick Mutually, aged 30, fireman,
leaves a widow.
Patrick Riley, aged 80, currier, un-
married.
The fatally injured are:
Octavius Sanders, aged 30, colored,
night fireman, married.
The others injured are:
John Kenney, currier, bad scalp
wound.
Patrick Keefe, currier, scalp wound
and several burns
William Randish, currier, hip frac-
tured.
James Ryan, currier, burns and CON
tusions.
John Tracey, currier, burned about
the face.
All the killed and wounded belonged
in Woburn.
Parts of the boilers and engine were
lifted high i'll the air, and in their de-
scent practically destroyed all of the
plant that had not been wrecked by the
explosion itself. The loss sustained OF
the insurance on the whole has not been
learned. The boilers and engines were
insured for $4,000.
Jumps OF brick and mortar were
blown 300 feet in the air and fell on
row of small wooden houses along Conn
street, doing considerable damage.
Bricks went through windows and roofs,
landing on beds in which children were
sleeping, on tables where persons were
eating and demolishing substantial
woodwork as if they were made of
paper. All Of these houses were slight
ly injured. The terror in the neighbor-
hood was intense.
The boiler which burst was examined
by an inspector from Hartford insur-
ance company Sunday, and it was not
only pronounced all right, but a certiti-
cate was given permitting a pressure of
even more than its normal capacity.
