preceded it, believes that it is the wish
of majority of the people that the sa-
looms should be tolerated. Should the
city administration, or the county adj
ministration, for that matter, desire to

Left Letter Saying She Would
Die and Disappeared.

cided to drown herself and her body
would be found in the Kansas river.
She said that her determination to end
her life was due to financial troubles.
Since then no trace has been found OF
Miss Clupper, though it was ascertained
that she did go buggy riding with a
young woman friend. She has been the
sole support of a widowed mother.

VOLUNTARY STARVATION.
The Assassin of M. Spiaguinc Reported
 Very Sick.

St Petersburg, April Persistent reports are in circulation to the effect that the czar will shortly issue 8 rescript giving Russia a constitution similar to the scheme for administra- tive reform drawn up by the late Gen eral oris-Melikoff, when he was min- ister of the interior and which was sanctioned by the late Czar Alexander IT., some six months before the latter's assassination, which occurred March 13. 1881.
 The rioting continues to spread in South Russia. The military thus far have been unable to prevent incendi- arism, terrorism and plundering. The landed proprietors throughout the goy- ernment of Poltava are seeking refuge in the city of Poltava.
 Prince Obolensky, the governor of Kherson, is apprehensive of rising in that government.
 The police forces in many cities have been increased in strength, notably at Irkutsk and Archangel.
 Balschaneff, the assassin of NJ. Sipi- aguine, the late minister of the interor, is now reported to be very sick, due to voluntary starvation.

Rig Gun Nearly Ready

TROY, N. Y, April 2S-The authori- ties at the Watervliet arsenal expect to complete work on the sixteen inch gun that is to be placed at Fort Hamilton, New York barbor, by June 1. The gun, which has been in the course of construction about four years, will be first sent to Sandy Hook for proving. Last week the war department decided to mount the gun on a disappearing carriage. Its first trial is eagerly await ed by all the gunmakers of the world. 1t is claimed the gun will hurl a she'll twenty one miles. This is disputed by the Krupps, who claim it will not throw the shot more than fifteen miles. In order to discharge the gun it will require 1000 pounds of powder and a 5000 pound projectile. The gun when completed will weigh 150 tons.

Governor odeu In the south

ATLANTA, Ga, April Ex-Governor B. B. Odell, who has been resting in Atlanta two days, left for New Orleans today after calling on Governor Can dler. Governor Odell expressed himself as greatly impressed with the south and said he believed the period of in dustrial development which this part of the country had entered upon would be lasting. Referring to his work as governor of New York, MT. OdelI said he had set out to do certain things, and he believed he had accomplished them. The arduous work and routine of the office, he said, were very exacting. He would not commit himself upon the second term question, as he had told his friends before leaving New York that he would not consider the matter until his return.

SUSPICIOUS CASE REPoRTED

Quarantine Raised To-Day on River
 Street-Several More Places Will
 Be Set Free To-Morrow-Dr Valin's
 Report Given to the French People
 at a Meeting Held Yesterday After-
 noon.
 A suspicious case was reported to Health Officer Kilmartin to-day from Charles street, but it did not prove to be smallpox. The family on Riv- erside street who put up such pro- test against being vaccinated finally thought better of it and submitted to the operation.
 All the smallpox patients arc doing well. The quarantine was dence on River street yesterday and the people on the upper floors in the building on Alder street and in Wards Flats and Riverside street will be liberated tomorrow.
 Dr Valin of Montreal, the French scientist who came here to settle the smallpox row, addressed a large audi- ence in Congress hall yesterday after- iooll. lie read ms report relatlVe to smallpox and explained what he had done since he came here. The doc- tor also informed his hearers that they had been misinformed and mis- led in this matter, but he hoped that the incident was closed and that all doubters had had sufficient evidence to satisfy them of the prevalence of the disease in Waterbury and that the authorities were treating it in a scientific manner and with due re- gard for the rights of all citizens and without any exception. He talked at some length on the protective power of vaccination and counseled his peo- pie to have the operation performed and stand prepared at all times to do what lay in their power to assist the authorities in maintaining the highest possible sanitation in the communities in which they live.
 So far as can be learned the report meets with the approval of the French people so that probably it was a good thing to have decision on the ques- tion. As things look now there is no reason why anyone should be in doubt as to the nature of the maIady that is putting the city to so much expense.

TO MODIFY CHURCH LAWS.
Think Dancing and Card Playing Can
 Be Conducted Innocently.


 New York, April 2S.-Deep interest has been aroused among the Methodist ministers of this city by the recent meeting of ministers in Chicago, when 1t was urged that the church laws pro- hibiting dancing and kindred amuse- ments ought to be modified to meet modern ideas of the people at large.
 That a large number of Methodist ministers of this city believe that the church laws against dancing, the the aters, card playing and so on. do more harm than good is apparent. There is a large number of the conservative ele- ment among the ministers, however, who think that a relaxation in church discipline would work to the detriment of morals.
 Rev c. l.. Goodell, of the Hanson Place Methodist church in Brooklyn. said:
 T think that the sentiment is such at present that a general conference might amend the chapter on amuse- ments in the church law so as to elim- mate the prohibition against such di- versions as dancing and card playing, which can of themselves be conducted in the most innocent manner'
 Several other ministers voiced simi- lar expressions.
