WILLIAM TERRISS MURDERED.
At the Stage Door of the Adelphi Theatre
by Super Named Archer-No Cause Dis

At the Stage Door of the Adelphi Theatre
nv sinner Named Archer-No Cause Dis
covered.
London. December 16-Wm. Terriss,
the well known actor, was assasslnated,
being stabbed with knife as he was
entering the stage door OF the Adelphl
Theatre, tonight
VIM. Terriss has been playing IN
cr,,i - The English version OF VIM.
e9llleeIes American drama, @seevat
Service"
Terriss's assailant is supposed TO be
former super. The murderer rushed
at the actor as he was stepping across
the pavement from his cab and stab
bed him just below the heart.
AS the actor fell his murderer was
seized by people who were outside the
theatre.
The wounded man was carried into
the theatre and doctors were called
from the Charing Cross Hospital, but
Terriss expired in fifteen minutes.
The assassin had the appearance OF
foreigner and wore long cloak.
Terriss fell, shouting: "My God!
He's stabbed me. Don't let him es-
cape!"
The msassin withdrew the dagger and
made second lunge at his victim, but
he was seized by the spectators.
Mr. Terriss was placed on the landing
of the stairway just inside the theater,
where he fay groaning loudly. Once or
twice he attempted to speak, but it was
impossible He quickly succumbed
while surrounded by the theaters staff.
The murderer was taken TO the Bow
street police station, followed by an
angry crowd. His name was given as
Archer. 1t is said that he had been a
super" at the Adelphi Theater several
years ago. and for some days past he
has haunted the theater The motive
of the crime is not yet known.
A large audience has already assem-
bled for the evening performances, and
and announced that as Mr.. Terriss had
met with an accident, no performance
would be given tonight.
1t appears that the assassin last eve
ming asked the keeper of the stage
entrance as to the whereabouts Of Mr..
Terriss, and his behavior was then so
obnoxious that Harry Nichols, one of
the principal colleagues Of Mr.. Terriss,
was obliged to demonstrate ard to or
der him to leave the premises.
The scene along the street at the
hour when the theatre closed tonight
was remarkable. By that time the
special editions Of the evening papers
were out and the newsboys were
shouting around the theatre exits that
Mr.. Terriss had been murdered. At
first the people refused TO place any
credence in the report, but when they
found it was true, horror and indigna-
ton were generally expressed.
When Archer arrived at the police
station, he still held TIE weapon, APP
parently big butcher knife, concealed
beneath his cape. On being charged
with murder he is reported to have re-
piled:
Hes done me out Of the benevolent
fund, this morning and | amout of it
for life
The murderer was placed In cell
and is under special watch for the
night.
The understudy of the deceased actor
tells curious story OF how last night
he dreamed that be saw Mr.. Terriss
Lying on landing surrounded BY
crowd.

tho State.

The proposition for the State to pur-
chase old Fort Cameron, near Beaver,
and use 1t Tor State normal echool,
which has been repeatedly laid before
and reieoied by former legislstntes
was laid before the House this fore
noon by Dotson, who Introduced a bi
authorizing the purchase Of the prop
erty for the purpose named, ana
petition from ci;izens of Beaver
county, asking for the passage OF the
measure.
The subject OF fruit tree inspection
is receiving much attention ut the
present session Of the assembly, and
several bills relating to 1t have been
introduced. Bennion presented
another today, looking to the appoint
ment OF fruit tree inspectors and the
destruction Of insect pests.
Several cities In the State have or
have had, curiew ordinances, designed
to keep children of the streets at
night, but no instance is remembered
of state having such law. Today,
in tho House, Mrs. La Barthe Intro
duced bill Tor one. What its pro-
Visions are can not be definitely
ascsrtained until 1t Ia printed, and
there ia no telling when that viii be;
but 1t iB probably in line with the
usual Legislation upon the subject.
The House ways ana meane commit

iunding OF the bond issues OF 1883 and
1880, for not more than twenty years,
payable IN ten or fifteen years, anu
bearing not to exceed four per cent
interest. 1t ia reasonably certain that
the new bonds could be floated ut that
rate, which would effect u marked
saving in interest anu the funding
plan Will probably be adopted.
