WIFE KILLS HER CHILDREN
Sets Fire to Room and Rsseuers
Find Bodies.
Was Separated FROM Her Husband on
account Of Suspicious; and Refused
to Live WITH Him.

New York City.-When a cry of fire
rang through the crowded tenement at
40 East Sixty-fourth street startled
tenants ran about seeking where it
was, and their quest led to the discov-
cry of a triple tragedy.
Smoke had been seen issuing from
the windows of an apartment which
had been occupied for a little more
than a week BY Mrs. Louisa Ellen and
her two little girls, Rose, seven, and
Louise, eight years old. When access
finally was gained to the rooms it was
found that the smoke came from d
burning bed in the apartment on
which the little girls lay dead; each
with a bullet through her heart.
while the mother was found kneeling
by the bedside, breathing her last. Two
bullet wounds were found OH her body.
One bullet had penetrated her heart.
the other her left arm. Beside her on
the floor a revolver was found.
The fire was discovered by William
Stanley, IN ambulance driver in the
employ of the Flower Hospital. Stan.
ley gave the alarm and ran to the top
floor, closely followed by Edward Van
Horne, the j~anitor, and Paul Faust,
q tenant.
They found the Elton apartment
locked. Hjalmar Olander, a tenant,
occupying the apartments adjoining,
volunteered to make his way into the
Elton fiat by way of the fire escape. He
was nearly suffocated in the attempt,
but finally contrived to open the door
from the inside and admit the
others.
In the bedroom the smoke was so
thick that the men could not see
through it until the doors and windows
had been opened for some time. Then
they found that the bed was afre, and
that there was a smouldering heap i'll
the middle of the room, which had
scorched the woodwork of the floor,
but had done no other damage.
The two children were lying on the
bed. Faust and the ~janitor bore them
to a vacant apartment across the hall.
The ambulance driver picked up the
kneeling form of the woman and fol-
lowed. She was still breathing. but
died before DR.. Benson. who respond
ed to a call on the Flower Hospital,
had time to arrive.
Mrs. Elton was twenty-eight years
old; her husband is thirty-three. He
is an irOnworker. Until recently he
was Secretary of Ironworkers' Union,
No. AZ. Some time ago the woman,
suspecting her husband, as he says, un-
justly, refused 20 live with him.

ture. Then, with a gentle grtnt, he
will pass you by. A very low yet de-

as well!-BlackwOod's Magazine.

They were boiled for some hours and

NJ. D.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy that
cures eatarrh must aim directly at the de-
pressed nerve centres. This is what Pc
runa does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the nerve
centres which give vitality to the mucous
membranes. Then catarrh disappears.
Then catarrh is permanently cured.

ICY RAILS WRECK TRAIN.
Passengers Suffering in Freezing Tenn
perature.

Cory, Pa.-Icy rails wrecked the
Pennsylvania Railroads through night
express, which left Buffalo, : while it
was running at a high rate of speed
near Prospect, thirty miles from this
city, and though none of the passen-
gers were killed, there was much suf-
fering from cold, as at the time of the
wreck, late at night, the thermometer
registered twenty degrees below zero.
The entire train was derailed, and
as there is no telegraph Office at Pros
pect, it was some time before help was
summoned. The wreck occurred near
the scene where, a number of years
ago, every passenger persisted in the
