ACT OF MADWOMAN.
Slashes a Man With a carving Knife
Had Been Released from Asylum
Where She Had Been IL Years.

SALEM, W. Va. May IA nearly
fatal tragedy was enacted in the east
end Of town Monday. Sarah Bruner
who bad been confined in the insane
asylum for II years, was released on
bond about three weeks ago, as 1t was
thought she was harmless and not liza
bic to become violent. Since leaving
the asylum she has been living with
her sister, Mrs. Anderson, OF the East
End. The demented woman had
shown no signs OF becoming dangerous
until Monday, when she seized a
carving knife and made a vicious as
sault on Mr.. Anderson With one
stroke of the weapon the frenzied
woman laid the mans cheek wide open
and cut his ear completely in two. III
it had caught him little lower and
struck his neck, no doubt the blow
would have been fatal one. Before
any further injury could be inflicted
the madwoman was overpowered and
officers summoned to take her in
charge. AS it was thought unsafe to
leave her in the house, even under
guard she was taken TO the jail, where
she was made as comfortable as pos
sible for the night Chief Randolph
will take the unfortunate woman back
to the asylum this morning.

curing additional evidence against the
gang which they lodged In the county
Jail last Friday, They will leave no
stone unturned or minute detail over

conviction of the notorious gang.
whose crime is talked OF over the en-
tire county. Both County Detective
McBeth and Constable Murphy are
working untiringly on the matter,
and when the trial OF the neg roes
takes place the officers will have some
overpowering evidence TO offer which
will undoubtedly send the members of
the crowd over The road for term.
Yesterday Mamie Wares, who claims
TO be no relation TO Bessie, who was
arrested Saturday morning by Walter
Laughed, was arrested at Leith by
Constable Murphy. She will be held
until the trial when she will be offer
ed as a witness as she was at the
scene OF shooting.
William Allen has been charged
with murder, the charge being made
yesterday after the news Of McMillan's
death at Connellsyille had been re-
celved. A coroner's jury was empan-
eled last evening at Connellsville.
They viewed the remains OF the dead
man and this morning an inquest as
TO how he CAME by his death was held
The verdict reached was in accord
ance with the facts Of the case which
have been related in detail In these
columns.
When il was evident Sunday even
Ing that Mcmillan would die, the
hospital authorities notified County
Detective McBeth, who with Detec-
tive j. r. Grassland and Notary Pas
auale Baifano went to the hospital
and took the dying mans statement
of the case. This statement which
is as follows, was witnessed by the
two officers and will doubtless 90 d
great way toward fixing the crime
upon William Allen.

ginia. | came to Wynne works last
Wednesday with my wife. Friday
night William Allen colored man,
with some other colored men, came to

my wife came In and Allen came la
also. He wanted to force my wife

to be used against these men at the
time of their trial.

The first baseball game of the sea
son resulted in defeat for the wear
ers OF the old gold and blue Home
stead managed to win the game but
the victory was not altogether one
sided arrangement. Eight errors
made by the locals with three by the
visitors tell how the game was lost
Lack of practice was noticeable
among the boys who however played
plucky up hill game and made it
rather interesting for their opponents
before the last man was out.
Among the features of the game
from the University standpoint was
was the batting of McWhorter who
made three hits Two of them being
for three bases. These came at a
time when the bases were empty
however and they did not result in
any runs for the University. Curtis
caught behind the bat like veter-
an
Kenna pitched good ball as did
Bowman. Tusca Morris played a
fine game Miller made some hair
raising stops. The local lads made
total of seven hits and their two
runs were both earned. The visitors
made nine hits and had but one
earned run out of five. They scored
on errors made at the wrong time
when errors were costly.
Some very long hits were made
and the crowd present had plenty of
chance to get excited and yell. They
did this to the extent of their abili
ty. Yeager umpired the game and
did it acceptably to everyone.
The team will leave on Thursday
morning for Ohio where they will

credentials OF the official messenger.
Then another letter was handed to the
cardinalcleet, who ran through 1t and
handed it to Bishop Kelley, of Savan-
nah. to he read II was as follows:
From the Secretary Of State,
Rome, April Is, 1901.
ITO Monsignor Sebastian Martlneili !
an the secret consistory OF this
morning his holiness deigned TO ele-
yate TO the sublime dignity OF the
cordinalate Monsignor Sebastian
Martinelli This gracious and SOY
ereign favor is brought to the notice
of your ominence for your knowledge
and guidance. -.
(Signed) IN. Cardinal Rampolli
When the letter had been read,
Count Colacichi opened the small red
morocco case and took therefrom a
red silken zuchetto, or cardinals Skull
cap. DR.. Conaty removed the purple
cap from the head of Mgr. Martinelil
and the latter placed the red cap OF
high office in its stead.
Removing his helmet, Count Cola
cfchi addressed the cardinal, saying
he had been highly honored in being
chosen as the bearer OF this message
to the delegate He referred to the
long and eminent services of Mgr.
Martinelli. his unfailing devotion to
the church and to the supreme pom
tiff, and expressed the hope that the
blessing of long life would be given
the cardinal for hte labors of the ex-
allied station now bestowed on him.
Cardinal Martinelli responded brief
Iy. He referred to the illustrious
house from which Count Colacichi
descended. So far as he himself
knew, the favor which the sovereign
pontiff had deigned to show him was
not due to the humble services he
had been able to perform, but to the
graciousness of the pontiff himself.
and as in the past he had always
sought to promote the interests OF
the pontifs and OF religion. so. with
the help of God. he would continue
those labcrs.
DR. Booker was the first to con-
graduate Cardinal Martinelli on his
elevation. and was followed by DR..
Marchetti, the ablegate. and many
others yreEent. The cardinal then in.
vited his guests to join him at din
Her. 1t was understood that the for
malities ot taking the oath would fol-

ferred until later in the week.
