who accidentally shot herself Saturday
midnight, is improving today. Dr. u. T..
Sewers, who. with DR.. J. Ford Thomp-
son, was called to attend the young wo-
man, said this morning that ner chance
for recovery is good. He would not
state the case so strongly as to say that
the chances for recovery are in her IA
vor. but would only authorize the state
ment that her chance for getting well
has improved since yesterday. 1t is
clear that the surgeons believe Mrs.
Lane will recover, but they are cau-
tious not to arouse hopes which might
not be realized.
The wound is in the region of the
heart, and, though dangerous, is not
considered, as a rule, a fatal one. Mrs.
Lane suffered considerably from shock.
and this complication has been con-
quered. No effort has as yet been made
to extract the ball, and none will he
made until the patient has regained

the side of his daughter nearly all the
time since the accident and expressed
himself this morning as decidedly en-
couraged by the prospect
Mrs. Lane, her husband and an in
fant daughter live at the Hotel Well

day night Mrs. Lane brushed a small
pistol from her dressing case. 1t was
discharged and the bah struck her be-
low the heart. The shot and the
screams of Mrs. Lane brought her hus-
band to her side and the medical men
were called directly.
Mrs. Blackburn, mother of Mrs. Lane,
who was in Kentucky when the acci-
dent occurred, was telegraphed for and
will reach Washington today.

SLEW WIFE And CHILDREN
Then He Shot Himself Through
Head and Heart.
For Five Years John III. Matthews
Had Planned the Deed With His
wife-She Was an Invalid.

New York. Jan. 17.-John II. Mat

lumbus avenue, murdered his wife and
two children some time last night.
Letters he left showed that for five
years he had been planning the crime.
lie had talked it over with his wife,
and though, at first not inclined to
commit it, he finally yielded 10 her en-
treaties
From the same letters one of them
written apparently after he had killed
his children, it is evident that Mat
thews first tried to asphyxiate his fam
lily. But. as he himself wrote. the gas
was no good. So he took a hatchet,
hacked his little boy and girl to death
and then butcheTed his wife.
His family slain, he then lay down
on the floor and shot himself once in
the temple and once in the heart, thus
fulfilling the promise he had made to
his wife
Matthews was about forty years of
age. He had originally aome- from
Cincinnati, and had recently been in
the dry goods business somewhere in
New York State. He failed and two
months ago came 10 this city and took
the grocery store.
The letter left by Matthews showed
sufficiently the motive which prompted
Matthews to the crime. But it shed
no light on the reason that caused the
grocer's wife, Minnie, to entreat him
TO Kill them all. The police, however.
soon supplied this link. They learned
that the woman had been an invalid

another general strike he precipitated it
is generally conceded that it VIII be the
greatest Of any yet inaugurated.
The cry IS for an advance all along the
line, and the miners are going to stick to
their demand of 10 cents with a tenacity
which will be hard for the operators at
Chicago to break. The success of the last
general strike and the remarkable growth
of tie organization in the last half OF
1897 are acting as prompters behind the
miners 10 urge them on the present demand.

HE LEFT HTRRIEDLY.
senator Hanna suddenly Disappears
From Cleveland.

From Cleveland.
Cleveland Ohio. Jan. 1.-THE hasty
departure Of Senator NJ 4. Hanna for
Washington at 1:40 yesterday after
noon has caused much speculation
among the politicians of the city. Mr.
Hanna had said on Friday that he ex-
pected TO remain in Cleveland for a
week or ten days and recuperate. but
yesterday he left the city, and his man
ager. Major Dick, cannot be located.
Why Hanna left the city without Civ
ing notice to his personal and political
of the shrewd politicians say that per-
haps he went to Washington to avoid
service of a subpoena to appear before
the house committee which is 10 in
Vestigate the charges of bribery made
by Otis. Representative Otis said that
if the general assembly did not inves-
tigate the charges of bribery, he would
memorialize the United States Senate
and ask that Hanna be refused a seat
until after an investigation had been
made.
1t is known that an assistant ser
geant of the house of representatives
was in the city Saturday with sub
poenas for both Senator Hanna and
Major Dick to appear before the COM
mittee, but he failed to get service on
either of the gentlemen, which is re-
sponsible for the assumption in the
minds OF some of the politicians that
Hanna's departure for Washington and
the alleged bribery investigation have

istic work i'm Africa, we do not consider
it right that offices created by law for
commercial purposes should be thus
diverted. We deeply regret that vital
interests are now being sacrificed to
such a policy, and we fail to see how
the United States Government can
properly support religious missions in
Liberia at all, or, if it can do so, how
it can justly select one of the several
denominations now carrying on their
work there as the exclusive recipient
of this Government beneficiaries; and
if ii is to be the policy of the Govern
ment to engage in the evangeliZation
of Africa, why it so far distances all its
private co-workers of other denomina-
tions as to pay to its missionaries sal
aries at the rate of 81, 200, or even 81, 500

we look in vain through the recent
history of Siberia for any fulfillment
of these eXpecta tions. The United

then in the appointment of a minister

given no evidence of practical friend
ship and sympathy. Every intelligent
friend of Siberia knows that intimate
commercial relations between the two
countries would greatly subserve the
best interest of Liberia, and be of ad-
vantage to the United States; but,
nevertheless. the appointees to this
mission, as rule, have been wholly
destitute of the qualifications requisite
for the discharge of the duties of a con-
sui so far as they relate to promoting
commercial intercourse. The result is
now to be seen i'm the discontinuance
of all direct commercial cOmmunica-
