COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
Two Men Being I'm Love With the
Same Girl Leads to the Fatal
Shooting of One.

Newcastle, Pa, Jan. S.-Jealousy
was the cause of a most deliberate
and cold blooded murder here. Ra-
phael A.nbrosia and Peter Varavade,
ouarrymen, were in love with the same
girl, Gracio Veltra. Ambrosia, with
two male friends, started out to visit
at neighboring house.
Varavate lay in ambush for his
rival and when the latter came abreast
of him, Varavade drew n razor across
Ambrosia's face. He had evidently
missed his throat, for that was what
he was aiming for, but he cut cash
that extended from the forehead to
the chin, laying bare the teeth and,
in fact, opening the entire side of the
face. Ambrosla uttered n shrek and
the next instant Varavade drew his
revolver and holding it close to the
side of The victim, fired. The bullet
entered the right side and must have
passed straight to the heart, for Am
brosia fell dead and did not utter n
sound
The murderer waived the other
two men back with his revolver and
calmly walked back to the boarding
house, where he changed his coat and
vest and left in the darkness and has
not vet been found.

DIR. McGLYNN DEAD.
rbc Once Famous Priest Dies at His
Home In NewburGh, N. y, OF
Heart Failure.

Newburgh, n. Y, Jan. s.-Rev. DR..
Edward McGlynn, rector OF st. Ma
rvs church. died at the rectory at
500 O'Clock Sunday afternoon after
an illness of abont seven weeks of
heart failure, superinduced by Brights
disease.
A minor surgical operation was per-
formed on DIR. McGlynn Saturday
night. brt this did not effect the pa
tient or contribute materially to his
death.
During the day DR.. McGlynn had
several sinking spells and the pbysi-
cinas were called early TO his bedside
where they remained until he died.
At noon it was apparent that the
end was near, and DR.. McGlynn re-
ceived holy communion from the as
sistant rector of st. Mary's, who later
administered extreme unction. After
high mass in the morning DR.. McGlynn
was annonted. All efforts toward
prolonging lie were made by the
physicians but at 4 o'clock the priest
lapsed into unconsciousness, his last
audible prayer being: Jesus have
mercy on me-
lie pissed away without recover
ing consciousness.
For two days DIR. McGlynn had been
troubled with hiccoughs but was nbe
TO take hquid nourishment to the
last. DR.. McGlynn was aware that
death was near, receiving the word
TRANQUILITY.
DR.. McGIynn was first stricken with
illness November 16 at the rectory.
lie was seized with a severe cold and
was compelled to seek his bed. Though
he was obliged to break engagements
to lecture, no alarm was felt by his
friends until the following Monday,
when he suffered severe chill.
The first serious attack occurred
November &c, and day or two later
there was consultation of physi-
clans. 1t was announced that DR.. Nc
Glynn was suffering from chronic kid
ney disease.
Early in December DIR. McGlynn suf-
fered two attacks of heart failure, and
his relatives were hurriedly summon
ed. He rallied, however, and until
Saturday night he appeared to be
holding his own, and gradually re-
gained strength. He was able to sit
by his bedside for few minutes each
day, but was never able TO leave his
room.
DIR. McGlynn was 62 years of age
last September. When he was stricken
was robust and of fine physique, but
he became greatly emaciated by his
long illness.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.
What VIII Probably Take Place In
the Senate and House Dur
ing the Week.

Washington, Jan. S.-The week in
the scnste necessarily will be given
up largely to speechmaking. Senator
Pettigrew's resolution asking for in
formation concerning the Philippine
war will come up, and he and prob
ably other senator's will speak upon
it Senator Morgan has given notice
of speech in which he will discuss
the race question in the south. Sen
ator Beyeridge will deliver his speech
on the Philippine problem, and We'd
nesday will be devoted to eulogies of
the late Vice President Hobart. The
greater part of the remainder of the
week vii! be devoted to the finances,
the object of the managers of the.
financial bill being to give as much
time as possible to this measure until
it is acted upon. 1t is now understood
that almost all the senators opposed
to the oil will talk upon it before
the vote is taken, but there has not
yet been any arrangement of the or
der in which they will address the
senate.
There is no program in the house
for the present week, the only GER
tain feature is the consideration of
the urgency deficiency appropriation
bill. II will be ready Tuesday or We'd
nesday. 1t will contain almost $780,
100000 for the army and navy, and
while it will pass when it reaches a
vote it may precipitate stormy de-
bate upon the conduct of the war in
the Philippines. The answer of Secre-
tary Gage to the house resolution,
calling for information regarding the
deposit of government funds In ma
tional banks, is expected early in the
week. The report will not constitute
a privileged question which will open
up debate, but il it is deemed unsatis-
factory to any one resolutions OF In
vestigation may follow. The Roberts
case will not get before the house un-
til the end of the week at the earliest,
and probably not then. The hearings
have been adjourned until Wednesday,
and it is hardly likely that the report
can be prepared in time for presenta-
tion this week.

ter of the general. Later they made
another effort and persisted in ring
ing the door bell and otherwise Gre
ating disturbance until finally Gen.
Greedy came out to expostulate with
them.
They refused to leave the house
and after some words Furnace seized
the general and threw him down the
long fight of steps which ascend
from the pavement to the house,
which stands on high terrace. The
fall cut severe cash in the back of
the generals head. He was picked
up and taken into the house and med
ical aid was summoned. He remained
unconscious for about an hour.

took no part in the assault, but when
he saw what his companion had done,
took to his heels and ran away. Fur

He offers no excuse for his act. He
