Indicted at Hartford City, Ind, yes
terdsy morning by a grand jury, for the
poisoning of her sfepdsughter, Crystal
Krauss, Mrs. Rae NJ. Krauss, after de-
handing an immediate trial, pleaded
guilty to murder, and, walking calmly
to the bench, handed to Judge Vaughan
a signed confession, written on October
Is, while prisoner in the Rockford
county Jail. The confession was read
and the jury retired for fifteen minutes,
returning with verdict ofguilty. Judge
Vaughan then sentenced Mrs Krauss to
imprisonment for life. Within half an
hour the prisoner was on the way to pris-
on. The confession pleads that the
crime was committed while the defen-
dant was dispossessed of her senses;
that she had confessed to her husband,
w. r. Krauss, that she was prompted
to poison her stepdaughter by an in
describable desire to kill, superinduced
by the notion that Crystal annoyed her
father by keeping company with GER

FIRE IN NEW YORK.


Two Piers With a Large Amount of
Freight Destroyed-Seyerai Light

sells.
New York, Oct. 2S.-One man is
dead, several are missing and property
valued at nearly one million dollars was
destroyed in spectacular FIRE in south
Brooklyn today. The dead man is Pat
rick Gushing, policeman. The chief
property loss falls on the Bush Terminal
Company. Two of its immense piers,
filled with freight, were practically de-
stroyed, several lighters were burned and
the ocean going steamers Arizona and
Citta di Palermo we're badly damaged.
The Palermo suffered the most, her valu-
able cargo being ruined. A strong wind
carried the flames to the pier and they
swept along the entire structure aud oSer
to pier No. 6, about fifty yards south.
The piers, two of the largest in the city,
are 800 feet long and 40 feet wide. fhe
outer half Of pier No. was occupied by
the California and Hawaiian Fruit Com
pany and held considerable fruit, ma
chinery and miscellaneous merchandise.
At the end of the pier lay the fruit
company's steamer Arizona. The land
ward end OF the pier was filled with
jute, cotton, hemp and other inhamable
goods owned by the Bush Co. AT the
pier end we're moored the Bush COM
psny's lighters Adelaide, Victor, and
Dana, with number of scows loaded
with cotton. Along the north side Of
pier No 6 lay the Citta Di Palermo TO
landward, and the Sicania to seward,
both of the Italian Navigation Company.
The Arizona caught fire in her bows, but
she put out into the harbOr under her own
steam and smothered the blaze. The
lighter Victor, in which the fire started.
was destroyed. The Dana aud Adelaide
escaped. One of the scowS was surk.
The crews of the lighter and scows jump
ed overheard and were picked up, with
the exception of Swede by the name of
Oleson, of The Adelaide, who has not yet
been found. Other men were reported
missing, but it is thought they escaped.
The steamers Schuylkill and Sicania
we're towed away from the docks. escap-
ing with scorching. The cargo Of the
Citta Di Palermo took fire and gave the
fireman more trouble than any Of the
other property. The blaze was not Us-
der control until after four O'Clock. The.
steamship Feconia, lying beyond the
Palermo. with valuable cargo, and the.
American, of the INSTRUMENTATION,
line, moored at pier No. 6, opposite the
Arizona, we're lowed out unchanged.

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. IS. 1904.

AttCATHoLICs, almost all Lutherans,
very many Episcopalians and Presby-
,erians and thoughtful people OF many
other denominations think that educa-
ton without religious instruction gives
rise TO an indifference Oh the subject
which in many cases results in loss OF
faith in Christianity and that Sunday
scbools fail to correct the evil. The
Catboli Church, as we suppose all our
readers know. claims that the Holy
Shirt abides with her and speaks
through her and that she is therefore in
fallible. Such being the case. she re-
ouires that all the children of her mem
beers, being also members by baptism, BE
sent. if possible, to schools under her
control, that they im5ibe her teachings
and grow up good Catholics. We say
all this to show the artful attempts the
administration is makingin its desperate
attempt to carry the election to convince
Catholic democrats that by voting the
republican ticket they will greatly bene'
fl their church. The visit OF member
of the Cabinet to a Catholic university
in Indiana and his disingenuOus attempt
to show that the election of a democratic
President and Congress would result IN
the Selling of all their churches III the
Philippines by their enemies. was 1ol-
lowed by some remarks in which he
mentioned that a hundred Filipino boys
had been sent by the government to TINS
country for educational purposes and
sent exclusively to what he calls non
sectarian institutions, though the ma
joritv of them were Catholics, because
the cost of tuition was less. He trusted,
he added, that there would be some rem
edy for it shortly. Very soon after II
was announced that fifteen of the boys
would be sent to that university, TO re.
main there, or to be transferred to Other
schools under its direction. Comment j:
unnecessary and we wish the republicans
isy with all the democrats who can be
brought TO their aid by so transparent a
trick,

Mrs. GielOw's Recital.

Those of our citizens who were not
present at the dramatic recital of old
plantation songs and stories by Mrs.
Martha $. Gielow, given at the Opera
House last Monday night week, MISS d
q treat indeed. The stage represented
simple parlor scene, tastefully decorated
with palms and cut flowers, the col,r
scheme being red and yellow. An oil
painting of one of Alexaudria's well
known "black mammies, " conspicuously
placed on an easel, added much to the
general effect. The modest little lady,
so daintily gowned, was introduced by
Mr.. E. II. o. Brien, commander of k. b
Lee Camp, G. ", and was greeted with
pleasure by an appreciatiye audience
who, during the entire evening, gave
undivided attention to this gifted woman
while she so beautifully depicted many
life.like scenes OF southern home life
before the war Her voice OF much
scope was attuned to melody in all its
various uses, from croaning a lullaby
to preaching a sermon, not a note of
discord was discernible. At times the
pathos was most touching and many
eyes filled with tears; again in re-
counting some amusing incident, the
very information, so true to nature, con-
yulsed the audience with laughter.
During the evening Mrs. Gielow was
presented with a handsome bunch Of
pure white chrysanthemums by Com
mander O'Brien, from thoroughly sat-
is6ed audience. Quite a nice sum WIS
realized for Lee Camp building fund.
The entertainment was so thoroughly
enjoyed, that we hope this magnetic ard
charming woman will come again and
give all of our people an opportunity to
attend the most unique entertainment
Alexandra has ever known. G. V.

THE DISPATCHES from Europe today
are more hopeful, and it is thought by
some that rift has appeared in the
Ominous clouds that have recently gath
cred incident to the attack by Russia
upon English fishing boats. There is
an impression that the trouble will be
settled in another way than by the sword.
This is earnestly desired by peace-loving
people. There seems to be two versions
of the unfortunate North Sea incident.
England charges Russia with wantonly
attacking her fishing fleet, while il is as
serted that hostile torpedo boats were in
the track of the Russian feet aud were
seen not only by the officers Of those
vessels but 10y persons on the fishing
boats. The matter should be carefully
investigated before the aggrieved nation
commits some rash act.

nothing to do with lesseniDg crime,

he invariably selected themes which
would only be understood and appre-
