revolver and fired four shots. all OF
which took effect. O'Alara jumped u pom

fore he Rad gone far. The shooting was
the direct result of a.family quarrel over
money obtained from the insurance pol
icies on the life of Thomas O'Mara. who
was insured for $4,000. He died last
May, and after his deach stories were
afoat that he had been poisoned. 1t was
stated that Mrs. O'Mara fed her husband
on ground glass and had given him GER
tain poisonous concoctions. In July the
coroner of Fairfield county exhumed the
bodyssand after-a post mortem aud chem

Built by Northern Firm for Cuban
Observation-Disclosures for Maine Men.
Washington. April l.-Priyate adyices re-
ceived today at the Venezuelan .legation
show that Admiral Meade and his officers
of the fe ct were treated With distinguished
consideration by the officials of the Repub-
lie upon their arrival at Laguayra. They
we've invited to Caracas coming TO the
capital on a special strain furnished by tile
government. AT Caracas they We're the re-
cipients of numerous eourtesies from men,
oers of the Crespo Cabinet and the people
gen ally.
The suggestion that a statue to the late
President Mon, oe be erected in the plaza at
the national capital of Venezuela, is meet
ing with great favor from all classes of
Venezuelans.: Tho leading.ne ewspapersa ap-
prove the suggestion and urge that in view
of the pending dl ticulty between Venezue-
la and Great Britain, over the boundary
question, the present is the proper time to
show the appreciation OF the great Presi-
dent of3tte North who enuuciared the prin-
ciple America Tor Americans"
The firm stand that the United States has
taken with respect to This boundary ques-
tion and the efforts made l,y Minister Bay
ard to arbitrate the points in dispute have
greatly strengthened American prestige in
Venezuela. Caracas papers correctly re-
9ect the public sentiment and the numerous
references made in the late files Of Caracas
papers to the attitude of the United States
in the matter make it evident from their
tone that they are hopeful the United
states may yet be able to bring about the
desired result.

that Mrs. Williams murdered the children
some time during last night. She has dis
appeared.
Annie says her mother left the room about
$50 this morning, and before going old
her not to go near the bed in which her
brother and sister were sleeping and she
obeyed so that not until the chambe rma id
came in was thu tragedy disc overed. There
was found at the foot of the bed a bloody

had any thing to do with the tragedy. His
unwillingness tc talk is enough to warrant
his detention. He said that his wife left

did not regard her as insane. He supposed
she had gone to visit friends in this city
or Cleveland until ne received a meaning
