WENT THROUGH A WINDOW.
WHILE TEMPORA INSANE J. J.
 COFFEE MET DHATR.

Had No Rest for Ten Days-Was Nursing
 His Mother-in-Law, who Was Buried or saturday-Skull Fractured and Spin, Broken-Death Almost Instantaneous.
 John J. Coffee of Oak street, while suffering from temporary insanity jumped from the second story window of his home about 9:SO o'clock yester. day morning and was almost instantly killed He was taken to the hospital and died there a few minutes after his arrival.
 Coffee was a well known moulder and had been for a number of years em. ployed at sargents factory, where he was also secretary of the moulders union. He was twenty-eight years old, and leaves a widow and two children. He was an examplary young man, and highly esteemed by all who knew him.
 For the past ten days he had been set ting up watching over his wffe's moth CT. Mrs. Bridget Bohan, widow of the later James Bohan. During that time he had not slept any, and during part of the time he had continued to follow his employment at Sargent's factory. Mrs, Bohan died several days ago, and was buried last Saturday morning.
 Early yesterday morning 1t was not iced that he was apparently worn out, but it was not thought that he was sick About 9:30 o'clock yesterday morn- ing he threw himself from a second story window of his house, carrying the window sash with him. In falling he struck against two signs, and his skull was fractured and spine broken.
 The police ambulance was hastily summoned, and the injured man taken to the hospital. Upon his arrival there he was unconscious, and died five min utes after his reception. Medical Ex- aminer White was summoned and after an investigation pronounced death to have been caused by cerebral hemorr- haze.
 The rash deed was undoubtedly com mitted during a fit of temporary in sanity brought about by loss of rest consequent upon the care of his mother in-law. After his death the remains were removed from the hospital to his late residence where last evening a wake was held. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been com pleted, but it is expected that it will take place from his late residence to- morrow morning.

 Object to the Pastor.

The Monied Members of a Baptist Church Object to the Pastor.
 Worcester April 7.-Rev Charles IT. Pendleton, who has been pastor of the Main street Baptist church for over seven years, read his resignation to the congregation this morning to take effect at the close of the service. For many months it has been rumored that MT. Pendleton would take this action on account of pressure brought to bear on him by the moneyed mem- bers; but he has been successful in staying off final action until to-day.
 Last January the finance committee found themselves in debt to the extent of over $900 and when they went to members who have been in the habit of clearing off deficits they said they would not contribute until they had assurance that Rev. MT. Pendleton would go In fact the committee had to show the pastors signature de- claring his intention to resign before they would open their purse strings
 No fault is found with MT. Pendle- tons preaching, but there has been a strong sentiment that a change was desirable.

Adventures of 8 Driverless MiIIS Wagon. Saturday morning at about $50
 o'clock, a covered milk wagon came
 in contact with an electric cart much to the surprise of the horse. which after it had rolled over once in the street, got up in a bewildered way. The affair happened on State street, near Bradley street. The driver of the mille wagon had stepped into one of the neighboring yards to deliver milk and the horse after waiting a moment or two started off on it's own hook. The animal jogged along at an ordinary business gait headed toward Trunnbull street. Just then an empty electric car bound for the Edgewood line came along. The motorman seeing a covered milk wagon ahead going along at the customary jog, thought everything was all right, and naturally supposing the driver was on board. Just as the elec- tric car was within a few feet of the milk wagon the horse took it into it's head to cross the track in front of the car. This was a big surprise for the motorman. It was too late to entirely check the speed of the car but the motorman did nobly and the collision was slight. Still the shock was suf1i- cient to knock the horse over and to shake up the milk cans considerably The damage was slight. The horse was uninjured beyond a few scratches.

SITUATION IN THE EAST.
The Stories of Killing of Wounded Pro-
 nounced False.

London, April 1.-The Central News correspondent in Tol1io says that the stories about the killing of the wounded at the battle of Tien Chwang emanated exclusively from Chinese sources.
 A dispatch was sent from Hiroshima to LieuEenant General Nodzu, com mander of the Japanese troops in Man. churia, briefly stating the accusations and requesting an explanation. He Autographed back that the stories were baseless calumnles. Letters written by three reporters from the headquarters of the three divisions in Manchuria support this denial in every respect
 Lieutenant General Nodzu reported from Hai-Cheng on April that Gen eral Vi had sent him a message to the effect that the Chinese command CTS knew nothing of the conclusion Of an armistice, Moreover the governor of Liao Yang answered the notice with an insolent letter denying that he had been informed of the arrangement. When u Hung Chang was told of the replies sent by VI and the governor he expressed deep regret. It is SUD- posed that telegraphed communication with the Chinese forces has been in- terrupted. Mounted couriers could not have got from Pekin to General Yis headquarters in fewer than five days and although sent they probably had not arrived when the Japanese mes senger went into the Chinese camp.
 The Tartars, moreover, are utterly ignorant of the civilized customs of war and have no understanding for truce.
 The Central News correspondent in Tokio says that Lord Lii has been appointed envoy with full letters to Japan and has formally accepted the mission. The Tientsln correspondent tells of the discovery of secret me morial dated 1882, in which many high Chinese officials had recorded their unanimous opinion that China should undertake the conquest of Japan, inoe the progress of western civilization among the Japanese was threatening the welfare of the Chinese people.

4 VICTORY FOR Ex-GoT. E1oWEE

Objection % Opening, Grading and Paving
 of Borden Avenue Sustained.
 New York, April 7.-Ex-Governor Ros- well P. Flower and J. B. Terry have been successful in their suits against the Long Island City authorities to pre- vent the carrying out of the scheme to open, grade and pave Borden avenue Tn his decision, which was handed down yesterday, Justice Gaynor says the con- tract was illegal and thus scores the improvement commissioners:
 ''The commissioners are without ju- of the owners of a majority in lineal feet of the lands fronting on the portion of the avenue for the grading and paving of which the commissioners have entered into contract, namely, from Dutch Kills creek to the center line. The so-caIled petitions are reproach to the commits sioners. They are so obviously defi- cient and worthless as to need no dis cussion.
 ''No doubt Borden avenue should be opened, graded and paved, but am un- able to do otherwise than to hold the acts of the commissioners illegal, They seem to have proceeded with no idea of the necessity of conforming to the statute"

CLEVELAND IS INDIGNANT.
HE STYLES THE REMARKS OF REV.
 DIR. LANSING AN OUTRAGE.

 The President Says That for the Sake of the
 Christian Religion He Is Thankful That
 These Scandal-Mongering Ministers Are
 Few-It Is Not the First Time Thing of
 the Kind Has Been Attempted.
 Washington, April 7.-Wheh the re- port of a speech made in a Methodist conference at Salem. Mass, by the Rev Dr. Lansing, and a subsequently, pub lished interview with the same gentle man, accusing the president of intem- perance, was shown to President Cleve- land this evening, he said with consid- erable warmth;
 "This is simply an outrage. Though it is not the first time a thing of this kind has been attempted,I cannot avoid a feeling of indignation that any man who makes any claim to decency and especially one who assumes the role of Christian minister should permit him self to become disseminator of whole sale lies and calumndes not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked.
 Il easily recall oJh9r occaSlouS WHen those more or less emitted to be called ministers of the gospel have been in strumental in putting into circulation the most scandalous falsehoods concern ing my conduct and character.
 "The elements or factors of the most approved outfit for placing false and d barefaced accusation before the pub lie appear to be- first, some one with baseness and motives sufficient to in- vent it; second, a minister with more gullibility and love of notoriety than piety, greedlly willing to listen to 1t and gabble it; third, a newspaper anxiously willing to publish it.
 ''For the sake of the Christian relig- ion I am thankful that these scandal mongering ministers are few, and onS every account am glad that the Amer ican people love fair play and justice, and that in spite of all efforts to mis- lead them they are apt to form cor rect estimate of the character and la bors of their public servants"
