FOUR CHILDREN.
Massachusetts, Woman Used an Axe,
and After Killing Her Children
Cut Her Own Throat.

Southampton, Mass, March 25.-A
frenzied mother in the little hamlet of
F~iskedale. after cutting Off every means
of escape by fastening windows and
doors. crushed in the heads OF her four
little children, threw their bodies into
a closet, scattered oil over them and
herself. n then, after setting all on
fire. closed her awful work and her own
life by cutting her throat.
1t was Mrs. Peter Burke, aged "a, the
wife of a machinist. who committed the
fearful crime, and her victims were
Lily. 6 years; William. 5 years; Louise,
lk years., and May, 6 months old. That
the woman had previously showed
signs Of mental arrangement seems to
be admitted, but that 1t should have
taken such a violent form was not even
thought Of by her husband, now com
pletely Frustrated. or her own rela-
tives.
But for The accidental discovery Of
the fire the deed of the mother might
have been hidden forever from the
Two boys happened to be passing the
house, e they saw smoke coming
rom a window. They burst In the
doors and tried to put the fire with
buckets of water, but 1t gained on them
SO fast that they were obliged to run
tor help. The neighbors prevented the
flames from reaching above the first
door.
Up to that time no one knew of the
tragedy. but on looking into a closet Il
olackened mass was seen. In this heap
were h bodies of Mrs. Burke and her
Tour children. The head of each OF the
children was split open, while the cause
Of the mothers death was seen in the
gaping oun in her throat.
From h appearance Of the room
and h position Of the bodies it would
seem as If Mrs. Burke had first cut off
every means of escap for the little ones
by mailing down the windows and
locking all the doors. The weapon with
which h crushed out the lives of her
offspring was a large ak. Mrs. Burke
must have dragged all Of the children
into the closet and then poured kero-
sen oil upon their clothing n then
upon herself. The fire had so COM
pletely charred the woodwork and the
flooring hat no blood spots could be
found.
The bodies of three Of the children
we're burned almost beyond recognition,
but that of Louise vas only scorched.
The body of Mrs. Burke was also badly
burned, but that did not hide the wound
in her throat.
AS soon as the fire was discovered in.
the house Mr.. Burke was notified and
arrived Just as the bodies were found.
He tainted from the shock.
Friends say the family has always
seen j happy one.

MRS. MAVERICK IS
TO Be RELEASED
American Woman imprisoned
In London at Last to
Have Freedom.
ACTION WAS
No Official Efforts, Though Many Pri.
waite Ones, Have Beer Made to Sc
cure Action-End of a Famous
Criminal Case.

London, March 24-Mrs. Florence
Maybrick, the American woman serv-
Ing a sentence Of life on the charge OF
poisoning her husband, Will be re-
leased I'm 1904. The announcement
comes from the home office, which now
authorizes her Washington lawyers to
use the fact Of her release next year as
p eas for securing a postponement
Of the trial Of law suits bearing on the
prisoners interest in land in Ken
lucky Virginia and West Virginia I'M
I'll b is able personally to testify.
Those who are In position to know
say Home Secretary Akers-D Douglas
has show great courtesy In connection
but that the decision to release Mrs.
Maybrick was entirely to efforts
On this side of the Atlantic, and that
Ambassador Herbert has never been
called upon to act in this matter.
Mrs. Maybrick's ease has constituted a
progressive international incident for a
number Of years. She was convicted Of
numbering her husband by use of poison.
Ind she and many friends have always
tt%renuously insisted that she was abso-
Mteiy innocent, and the victim of q most
prosecution thai during her husbands
Illness she put small quantities Of poison
INTO his medicines, using chiefly arsenic,
md making the doses so small that the
only apparent effect was to ac%centuate
The ravages of the disease with which he
was suffering. The discovery of traces
II poison in his stomach after death
Ldded force to suspicious, and caused the
trial and conviction Of his widow.
Mrs. Maybrick's s~ylnpathizers have
made much use of the fact she is an
American. and have repeatedly tried to
induce the American government to in
crest itself, but without success. On FREE
luent occasions Mrs. Maybrick has been
made a sort of hostage to American opin-
on, there have been repeated rumors
hat she might be released.
The property interests are considerable,

PLEAsEs PALMA.
Cuban President Feels Gratified Over
Ratification of Treaty.

Havana, March 21.-President Palma
yesterday was shown by the represen-
tatives of the Associated Press a dis
patch giving the new Of the ratifca-
ton by the United States senate Of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. He expressed
qualification and added that while the
of an earlier session Of the house
would be welcome, the reported inten-
ton of President Roosevelt to call a,
special session in the autumn would al
low the treaty the desired opportunity
for discussion and action.
The action Of the senate renews the
hopes Of business men here that a sat-
isfactory arrangement Of rates and
duties eventually will be reached. The
conclusion Of a permanent treaty
awaits only the decision Of the United
States government as to whether or NOT
1t will claim sovereignty over the Isle
of Pines. 80

WANTS HER MINES BACK.
China Fears They Will Fall Into
Hands of Russia.

Tien Esin. China, Dec. 22.-The vice.
roy has ordered the customs Taoti
to take over the port of Ching Wan Tao
at once from the offices Of til the ,I mining
company, which purchased the Kaiping
mines from Chang vi, the director of
the Northern railroads, who was de-
graded recently for having sold the
mines in 1900 and was given two months
grace during which he is expected to
again bring the mines under Chinese
control
The viceroy's order sys that although
merchants invested capital in the min
ing company it was founded by the
government and managed by Chinese
officials and therefore is the property of
the government. Ching Wan Tao, it is
further pointed out, likewise belongs to
China and cannot be sold to others at
the discretion of the mining company.
1t is asserted that the Chinese local au-
thorities and the government are en-
deavoring to regain control of the mines
in consequence of the designs of Russia
to acquire a port at Ching Wan Tao, of
which Russia is said to possess an ex-
cellent survey and census OF the ad-
jacent villages.
