SUDDENLY DIED In CHURCH
The Archbishop Of Canterbury Seize
With ApOplexy.


Rev. Edward White Benson. DID,. the
Archbishop of Canterbury. England. was
seized with apoplexy after the service COM
menced at Hawarden Church, at Mr.. Glad
stones home, yesterday morning. He was
carried to the Hawarden rectory, where he
died at IL 80 O'Clock.
Directly the service began and while the
rector, Rev. Stephen Gladstone, was read
ing the absolution, Archbishop Benson, who
was kneeling. was seen to twitch In the
arm for few minutes, and he then col
lapsed altogether.
Henry Gladstone, finding that the arch
bishop had a dangerous seizure. called to
the clerk and others, who carried him into
the library adjoining the rectory. Doctors
were hastily summoned. The stricken pre-
late was gasping painfully for breath. Ap-
plications OF ether and other means to in
duce artificial respiration were resorted to.
The rector, who had left the church when
the archbishop was carried out, returned
and announced the illness to the congrega-
ton, who were waiting in painful suspense
He asked for their prayers during the
litany.
All efforts to rally the distinguished pa
tent proved vain, and he died in a few
minutes. The news was conveyed to the
rector, who announced the archbishop
death The hymn. Forever With the
Lord" was sung. and the dead march was
played, all present standing and showing
themselves to be deeply affected
Mrs Gladstone conveyed the sad news to
her husband, the venerable statesman who
was greatly shocked and distressed by It,
Afterward. remarking on the event. Mr.
Gladstone said: He died like a soldier"
The official medical announcement of the
death to the coroner stated that it was due
to apoplexy. The medical attendants con.
cur in the opinion that heart failure caused
the death, but that this was directly due
to the seizure.
Mrs. Benson was present at the time OF
her husbands death, and she afterward
went to Hawarden Castle. The bells were
tolled and references were made to the
death OF the primate Of all England In
many Of the churches in the kingdom last
night.

 TOPEKA. Oct l3.-G. c. Clemens has filed wlth the secretary of state pro- test against the middle-of the-road Pop. uhst electoral ticket. He alleges that .'with the exception of fewer than 200 of the names signed to the nominating petition, it is apparent upon the very face of the petition, from mere inspec- ton that all the names on said petition were written by not more than seven different persons, while on some of the petitions every name was written by one person.
 The complaint then goes on to allege that the petitions were not gotten up in good faith, but were largely signed by persons who intended to vote the Re publican ticket. It is also charged that the persons who engineered the peti- tions were in collision with the Repub- lican state central committee.

 Penitentiary For One Year.


 NASHVILLE. Oct. l3.-At Columbia. Tenn, Mary Moore. white woman, worth $5o,0o0. and the owner of GOO acres of fine land, was convicted for stealing six turkeys from a neighbor and sentenced to one year in the peni. tentlary. An appeal was taken to the supreme court. This is the finale of most remarkable career unrivalled in the history of the criminal courts of the state.
 Ten years ago the woman and hus. band, calling themselves Stone, came from Kentucky, bought land in good neighborhood and lived a secretive life. Immediately thefts became numerous, incendiary fires followed, rumors spread abroad, the husband died, vigilance committees were formed, criminal suits instituted but came to nothing.
 At last the neighbcrs raided the farm house and found a young woman, daughter in law of Mrs. Moore, impris. oned ill room and subjected to the feulest treatment. Indignation became intense, and as the stealing of the tur- keys was sure case, it was resolved to get the Moore woman into the peniten- tiary and break up her nefarioas oper- ations

Hightower and Noah Readenower, the
sons of wellto-do farmers whose farms
join, had a fist fight a few days ago at
the wedding of neighbor's daughter.
Readenower has since threa tened to kill
Hightower. Last night they met at
Mount Pleasant Church. Hightower
was riding home, accompanied by q
friend, when he was overtaken by
Readenower, who stopped him in the
road and after a few words were passed
struck him in the face with q stone
which he took from his pocket. High
tower pulled his gun and fired two
shots at Readenower, each shot making
a slight wound, and then wheeled his
horse and started to run. AS he started
Readenower, who had got his gun from
his pocket, fired at him, the ball strik-
