MERiDEN NURSE SUICIDES.
Miss Alice Ellis, n Graduate of the New
 Haven Hospital.


 Meriden Conn.,, Oct. 27.-Miss Alice Ellis, a we'll known trained nurse of this city and graduate of the New Haven hospital, committed suicide in a very sensational manner In the rear of the residence of the late Dwight P. Wilcox, where she was formerly en- ployed as a governess, early this morn ing by inhaling chloroform from tin pan in which she had placed her head. She was discovered by Attorney c. J. Danaher, who< lives in the house ad- joining. shortly after 6 o'clock. She was laying on the ground, her head in a black silk bag lying In the pan in which she had placed the contents of two pint bottles of choloroform. She was also covered with golf cape and a flannel bed blanket.
 The body was still warm when dis covered. Miss Ellis was forty-one years old and was born in Canada and for the past few months had been liv- ing in Wallingford from which place she came here Saturday evening. The only reason that her friends can give for her act is that she was greatly at tached to a six-year-old son of MT. WilcoX whom she had taken care of from his birth up to last January, when he was placed with relatives in West field. In a package of documents she left was found letter addressed to a leading business man in which she gave him instructions regarding the dispos- al of her remains, the minister to off, ciate, the cemetery she wanted to be buried in and her pallbearers.

hours, including any confession he may | make. The result of the autopsy will
 also be given out by the warden. At the execution on)Tuesday Dr. Car ! los F. Mcdonald of New York and Prison Physician Gerin will be the at ! tending physicians and the priests if 1 any are received by Czolgosz will be
 the two Polish ones that have here tofore visited him. State Comptroller Erastus Knight of Buffalo has been | asked to be foreman of the official jury and will be here. The rest of the jury of twelve men is made up of prominent individuals including some other state officials.
 Governor Odell has sent word that he particularly desires that this execution notoriety as possible.
 The prison officials rather anticipate visit from the aged father of Czol- gosz tomorrow. Waldek Bandowski, brother-inlaw of the assassin, called at the prison to-day but was denied ad- mission. Warden Mead, who is i'll, was in bed and the chief keeper would not take the responsibility of admitting him. He will very likely call again to- morrow. Warden Mead is not serious ly ill and he will be up and about to- morrow. It is possible not one of the Polish priests will visit Czolgosz to- morrow, but there is still question regarding the final reconciliation with the church in which he was baptised He retains the stolidity and indiffer- ence which have marked his conduct since his arrest.

Delay in Appointing Bishop.

Washington, Oct 27-Sone interest," has been occasioned here by the delav of the Catholic church authorities at Rome in appointing the bishop to take. charge of the new Sioux City diocese which is to be created out of the old Dubuque diocese of the church. ,rhee preliminary steps were taken early last winter and Cardinal Martinelli, about last March, forwarded to the pope the necessary three names constituting his recommendation for the appoint-f ment. No order has come from Rome since then about the matter. Ordinari-g ly the appointment would have been announced some months ago, and tsiBa surmised the delay is due to papers forwarded to Rome opposing certain candidates or objecting to the division of the diocese, althugh this Is mere conjecture.

F4THER,S LAST MESSAGF.
Elder Czolgosz Hopes His Son rIny Rest
 tn Peace.

Cleveland, Oct 27-The Associated
 Press is made the medium of the last message from the father of Leon Czol- gosz, the condemned assassan who will pay the penalty for his terrible crime in Auburn prison next Tuesday morning. In an interview this afternoon the el- der Czolgosz was asked what he had to say finally to his unfortunate son.
 The old mans eyes filled with tears as he replied deliberately: "Tell Leon I that hope that he may rest in peace that he will become reconciled to God and will meet his end bravely. Tell him that, as much as and all of our family regret his most unhappy plight, we can do nothing to interfere, that he alone Is responsible for his unfortunate position, and that he must meet his punishment as consequence.''
 1 Further conversation elicited the in- formation that the purpose of the visit of Waldek Czolgosz to Auburn is to ar range for the disposition of the body after the laws mandate has been car ried out. Up to this afternoon no com munication had been received by the elder Czolgosz from Waldek, and this is taken to mean that the fathers pres ence Is not desired at the death scene
 The entire arrangement of the after part of the laws course is in Waldek's hands, and what steps he will take is matter of uncertainty. The expense of conveying the body from Auburn to Cleveland is one of the considerations that causes hesitancy in the announce ment of definite final arrangements. Paul Czolgosz, the father, stated that there was some fear of mutilation or undesirable occurrence at some time or other if the body should be brought to Cleveland immediately after the cleo trocution. This fear has led to the con- sideration of cremating the body at Buffalo or some other city where ere matory is available.
 Some anonymous communications to the Czolgosz family have mentioned the fact that the body might be valuable as scientific object to medical people and would bring good sum of money, but further than mere hints no definite offer has been made. It was stated that such an offer would be dlstasteful to the family of the assassin and would not be considered. Fear that the body might be stolen if buried in the usual manner is also reason for cremation being favored.

PRIEST EX-C0MMU UNIC4TED.
Aroh bishop Feehan Orders Father J. J
 CrOwley's Dismissal.

l Chicago, Oct. 27.-Father Jeremiah
 J. Crowley, late pastor of St. Mary's
 church at Oregon. H., has been ex-
 communicated by Archbishop Feehar
 of the Chicago diocese. The edlct ot
 communication, which was made i public to-day. says:
 | "He cannot be present or assist al any of the public exercises or offices of religion in the Roman Catholic church, nor can he be present at any mass, ves- pers or any other public services in the Roman Catholic church."
 The order of dismissal was the result of attacks made by Father Crowley up- on fellow pastors of the Catholic faith and charges of favoritism. fraud and cruelty which he made at the time Fa- ther Muldoon was consecrated as aux Hilary bishop of the Chicago diocese. Father Crowley was warned repeatedly to desist, but finally Archbishop Feehan lost patience and compelled him to re- sign his pastorate. An hour later Fa- ther Crowley withdrew his resignation, but it had already been accepted by Chancellor Barry and 1t was made ab- solute. Then Father Crowley started legal proceedings to keep his successor out of the pastorate, and renewed his attacks on Bishop Muldoon. A week ago Mgr. Martinelli, the papal delegate at Washington, came to Chicago and took final action. He gave Father Crowley a choice of two things, to make humble penance and accept with out portest a life within the confines of a monestary or to be dismissed forever from the rights and privileges of the Catholic church. Father Crowley was given until o'clock Saturday night to decide and as nothing was heard from him an order of accommodation was sent to-day by Archbishop Feehan to every pastor in the diocese.
 Father Crowley received a copy of the order, but he bade def1nance to 1t to-day and attended two masses. No ef- fort was made to eject him at either Of the churches. It is said he will appeal to the pope.

Terrific ExpIoston Resulting from a
 Broken Gas Matn.

Fire broke out under the old Kimber- ly avenue bridge early this morning. Yesterday a barge got wedged under the structure and in getting it out at low tide the gas main was broken. The gas accumulated in great quantities and was exploded probably by a lighted match thrown from a passing car or by some person on foot. The explosion was terrific and could be heard for a considerable distance. The fire being on the West Haven end of the bridge, the borough fire department was called out and had to fight several hours be- fore it could subdue the flame. West Haven was also left in darkness so far as gas was concerned, as it had to be turned off. The extent of the damage is not known, but it was not sufficient to delay traffic early this morning.
