Ann Arbor, Mich, April 49,.
Several facts have developed here since
DIR. j. B. Angeles appointment and his
departure for the South. which make
it evident that his mission to Turkey is
of a special nature, similar to that
which he executed In China in 1880,
and particularly in the interest OF
American missionaries who have been
prosecuted under the Turkish govern.
ment. 1t has become known that DIR.
Angel first received an offer of appoint
ment Of regular minister to Turkey for
four years and that he declined. He
did not wish to be away from the uni
versity that long. Later he was asked
to go to force settlement of the claims
Of american missionaries against tile
Turkish government and accepted.
When that work Is done his mission
will have been performed, and he will
return to this country.

Dr. Schumacher OF West Chester
Normal School gave the first lecture of
his course on Mature Study before
the Primary Teachsrs' Association at
wollaston School Monday afternoon at
at o'clock. aa
About $50 we're present. The lecture
was illustrated with drawings, and
young plant and sections Of trunks Of
trees.
DIR. Schumacher said the primary
work of the root was to draw up mineral
matter and water from the ground.
The little rootlets only can do this.
Roots also bold the plant firmly In the
ground and store up nourishment for
it. All stems the fret yaar have 9
covering or epidermis, Fundamental
tissue and hbro- vascular cells. After
several years growth there will be the
covering or bark. next the Fundamental
tissue much closer than in the first
year, now called cork; and the fhro.
vascular cells have enlarged very much.

cambium from which these rings Of
growth of the plant is produced, and
the piih. 4&
From this the Oldest wood lie fount
near the centre OF the tree, while tn,
Oldest bast rings are next the bark.
The sap OF plant rises through th'
wool rings anil after being converted
into food in the leaves passes dowI
through the last into the roots to b.
stored away.
The structure OF leaf is very won
defful. The pnlpy tissus OF the leaI

WATERFOWL, N. Y. April 16. "A special
to the STANDARD, from Sackett's Har.
Dor, 10 milea from this city, says:
3 Zone OF the most horrible crimes
ever committed 10 this village was
perpetrated early this morning. but by
whom Is not known. BY the crime Mrs
Wilbur Crouch ani Miss Mary Bailey
lost their lives and George Allen il
cluse to deaths door.
Last evening Allen engaged rig
OF q ,liceryman here. He then went TO
the barracks Of the Ninth Infantry and
got Mrs. Crouch and Miss Bailey,
domestics who were employed by Lieut..
Anderson. They drove about the village
and surrounding country nearly oil
night Between 8 and O'Clock this
morning they were coming on the road
leading from this village to Brownvile,
when, according to Aliens story, Crouch
leaped from the roadside and began
| firing at the three occupants OF tho car
riage. All three we're the recipients Of
several bullets. The horses became
frightened and ran back to tho livery
stable, in the rear of the Everleigh
House. One OF the women was betwaet
| the dashhnard and the wheel, with hef
head hanging nearly on the ground.
| The other was lying on her side. The
clothing OF both were badly torn. The
dress Of one OF the women was burned
along the arm, as also was her flesh
which makes it conclusive that the
firing was done at short range, causing
| the clothing to become ignited, In the
rig was found six chambered re-
volyer, with four loaded cartridges and
two empty chambers. The revolver ia
the property of Allen.
According 10 Aliens story BIZ was
thrown out OF the buggy nsar the iron
bridge which spans Mill Creek and
fell into the water, but soon extricated
himself aud. shot and stabbed as he
was, he managed to crawl to the Kitchen
door of the quarters, but on his arrival
there was unable to speak. He was
nearly unconscious.
Crouch was arrested and placed
under close surveillance. A knife was
found in his pocket, but no blood
stains were on it, nor was there any
thing about his appearance or his
actions to point toward his guilt.
Crouch and his wife have not lived
together for long time. y

Following ia the official statement of
the advisory board of the First Baptist

the charges against the pastor, the Rev.
Maurice Penfield Fixes, formerly of
Dover, after thorough Investigation I:
ut having recently come to the
knowledge of the advisory board OF the
First Baptist Church Of Trenton, N, j.,
that rumors OF a scandalous nature
compromising the character OF the pas:
tor OF this church, the Rev. Maurice
,Pentieln Fixes, aud coupling his name
With the name Of one of the lady mem
borH OF the church, has become mat
ter OF public report and gossip; and
that these rumors were apparently
traceable to the lady herself, as the
amanating source ii was decided as the
best means OF getting at the fasts, to
cite her to appear at q special session
OF tbs advisory board; 10 answer 10

accompanied by friend, being present.
After a very full anu impartial exami
nation it was shown both by her own
statements and the eyidence OF nuIner-
ous witnesses, that the charges OF Sian
der and habitual lying were conclu
siyely proven, and that tho scandalous
runors affecting the character OF the
pastor OF this church. and traced bRcl.
to her as the originator, were utterly
untrue and without foundation The
impression made upon the minds oil
many present was that the lady in
QUESTION ia controlled by die eused and
disordared imagination, and ia 10 a
measure Irresponsible: and, although
this was regarded as somewhat exten
uating circumstances, the opinion pre-
vailed thar she was sufficiently respon
sible mentally, 10 be the subject of dis
cipline for SO grave an offence. Ii was
consequently decided that tho board
recommend to the church, that the
hand of church fellowship be withdrawn
from her, and that she be expelled from
membership in the First Baptist
| Church. At the close of the investiga
tion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
