John W. Carroll Shot and Robbed "
Unknown Parties.

Wakefield. Mass, Dec "a number
OF sharp pistol shots in quick success
sion about 9 o'clock, tonight attracted
the wife of John w. Crowell OF this
town. TO the barn. where she found her
husband writing on the floor and
moaning, He has gone and my pock-
etbook with him" Fifteen minutes af-
tei Mr.. Crowell died from the effects
of two bullet wounds over the heart.
Mr.. Crowcll until recently was en-
gagged in the coffee and tea trade but
sold his business, and for some days
has carried the money, Il considera BILE

He left the house about Q o'clock to-
night, To look after his horse and lock
the barn. A few minutes after. Mrs.
crOwell heard Il number of shots. She
says she must have reached the harm
within n minute after the shots We're
fired. yet not a sign of any person AID
she see.
She found her husband on the barn
floor. moaning and muttering undstin-
guishable sentences about someone
shooting him, but all she could catch
was that the person had gone and talk
en- the pocketbOOk.
Mr.. Crowell was unconscious when
she returned with two neighbors who
had answered her cries, and soon after
expired.
a search was made OF the premises
and the first thing discovered was a

third bullet was found in the unfOrtu-
nate mans clothes, and a fourth in
the barn door No trace of the fifth
bullet could be found.

Mayor Says If He Has Proofs Should
Swear Out Warrants.
PASTOR REPLIES THAT IT Is THE
OFFICERS DUTY.

Saco. Me. Dec. 3.-The startling tenn

night. has caused great indignati ton
throughout the city. both among citi-
zens and office holders.
Mayor VIM. J. Maybury. who is sur
geon general on the staff of Governor
Powers, has expressed his disapprOva!
of the lecture in severe terms, saying
that if the clergyman was quoted cor
rectly in saying that the police depart
mcnt was receiving brides for the pro-
hc uttcrS falSehoodS.
The mayor says he knows that liquor
is sold in the city, that it cannot be
completely stopped. and he does not
believe that ii will ever entirely cease.
He says that if Mr.. Strout knew that
there We're gambling dens and liquor
saloons run openly in the city. it was
his duty as a citizen to serve out war
rants against these places and place
them into the hands of the police. He
said that such documents would be
served by his officers.
Mr. Strout when told what the mayor
had said replied that the officers took
oath TO enforce the laws and he did
not consider it his duty to serve out
warrants when the officers knew the
location of every saloon and gambling
den in the city.

DIPLOMATS REGARD KRUGER'S
MISSION AS FRUSTRATED

Paris, Dec. "a special dispatch
from Cologne says Mr.. Kruger after
he had received Emperor Williams

ton styled Friends of the Beers"
l hope with all my heart that the
circumstances which prevent His Ma
jesty from receiving me, today. will
become more favorable later. | shall
never cease to have confidence in the
spirit of justice of the Emperor, who
without knowing me, sent me four
years ago significant encouragement
| shall stay some time at The Hague
and will then renew my request. and
hope that at that time the Emperor
will not refuse"
Mr.. Kruger was very sad and after
wards retired 10 his apartments.
Emperor Williams telegram to MI
Kruger refusing to receive him con-
tinues to be the chief subject of COM
ment in the French press. The after
noon newspapers strike note of sad
ness. They say they see in His Ma
jesty's action the SCATTERING of his
reputation for chiValry. The Temps
says:
The Emperor's wording that he
could not receive Mr.. Kruger on ac-
count of dispositions already taken. is
very clear Every one understands
that the Emperor, if not actually full
filling one of the clauses of the recent
Anglo-German accord, is inspired by
the spirit thereof. in declining to re-
'ceive Mr.. Kruger. Neither the leclara-
lions of Count Won Buel0w or others
have concealed from the eyes Of the
world that the Emperor has Vcered
his policy in favor of England since
he sent his famous dispatch on the
Jameson raid.
The Emperor has failed to find in
Europe the alliance needed to brave
England and his people have refused
the credits to build a fleet The con-
sequences was the Emperor threw in
his lot with England. This is clear
but incomprehensible. Mr.. Kruger
advisers neither saw nor fOresaW any
thing and exposed Mr.. Kruger to the
total check he has just experienced.
This. perhaps, is not the first bad ad-
vice they gave him. and which eN-
plains many things in the past"
