honor and cherish through JOY or sorrow,
veal or woe, until death does us part,
God being our witness, for in Him we

TUESDAY EVENING. NOV. Z, 1906.


TIE SCENES in London yesterday,
when thousands of women marched to
Whitehall, that city, for the the purpose
of making known their sad condition to
Premier Balfour, is significant, and was
another chapter in the short and simple
annals of the poor. Cherries winter
has set in with large percentage OF the
working people of the great metropolis
without work, fuel or food. In the
midst of a city of the greatest magnit-
cence and sensuality, one can imagine a
horde punched by hungry and poorly
clad. winding its way through the Strand
with lis many restaurants, pastry, cook
shops. bakeries, &C., where tempting
viands are spread in windows, engaged
IN a fruitless errand, some to return 10
crusts and garrets and others not even
those to greet them. The Premier virIu-
ally said nothing that promised any imme-
diate alienation Of the distress Of his
petitioners, and the latter left rs cold,
hungry and disheartened as before they
had stated their case. The excls-
nations of some of the disappoiDttd
were significant. "DOn't forget that
hungry men are desperate men," said
Que of the speakers, who all had the
some tale to tell of husbands out OF work
and starving wives and children. The
pinched faces and tattered clothing OF
the women, some Of whom bad babies
in their arms, bore eloquent testimony
of The truth of their complaints. The
sNIar.eillaise" was heard as the pro-
cession advanced, perhaps the first
time it was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets OF London.
A mass-meeting Of the women was held
a. 9 p. m. to hear the report OF the dele
CATION. Mr.. Crooks, NJ. p, and Others
made speeches. Mr.. Crooks said that
Mr.. Balfour's reply to the delegation
was unworthy of the Premier of a great
country. The mention of Mrs. Bal
tours name was greered with a storm of
Kisses. Mr.. Crooks added that they had
started an agitation which would not
cease until every man who wanted work
was supplied with sufficient to support
his wife and children. The speaker
urged his hearers to continue the agI
tation. He said that a revolution in
England would not be behind the revo-
luton in Russia in securing the demands
of the people. The meeting unanimous
ly adopted a resolution to continue the
fight for the employment of the unem-
ployed, and the meeting broke up amid
uproarious scenes and the singing of the
"Marseilaise. "

Bessarabia Aflame With Anarchy.

Vienna, Nov 7.-Advices received
here from Bucharest, Roumsnia, state
that all Bessarabia is still ahame with
anarchy. Conditions are described as
frightful. At Ismali, where disorders
reached a climax Last night, a state of
siege has been declared. Today the
town is reported to be in flames, and the
fire brigade, instead of attempting to
check the flames, is assisting the incen-
diaries. All the fremen are drunk. A
massacre of the Jews, similar to that
which has occurred at Odessa, Kishinef,
and other centres, is proceeding. Last
night mob marched through the Jew
ish quarter killing every Jew who could
be found. Today dragons fired on the
rioters killing forty two, and woundiDg
ia. Near the railway station 10 Tiras-
hol last night band of robbers, assist
ed by soldiers, made an attack on train
containing fugitive Jews. All the pass
engers were killed. Another armed
band, recruited from the ranks of butch
ers, is engaged in marching up and down
the country numbering the people and
robbing them of all their possessions.
This work is continuing unchecked.

THERE'S every reason to believe anoth-
er murder has been committed in Alexan-
dna, the circumstances in connection
with the death ofRichard Mills, cOlOred,
in house on north Fairfax street last
Sunday evening pointing plainly to foul
play. The police are endeavoring to un-
rayel the mysterious circumstances in
connection with the shooting of Mile,
and it is hoped they will succeed, but the
fact that nearly all persons summoned
are Negroes, out Of whom it is difficult to
obtain positive evidence, renders their
task difficult Should they succeed IN
tracing the crime 10 the perpretrator or
perpetrators it will doubtless be the re-
suit Of an accident. There has during
recent years been a number of murders
in aud around this city, the victims be-
ing all colored, as have also been the per-
petrators Of the crimes, while murderous
assaults have been common among The
same element. 1t is believed that large
percentage of blacks hereabouts carry
pistols or other deadly weapons and the
use of such is becoming common. Re-
Gently there have been hOld-ups in aud
near this city, which have caused appre-
hension, especially among females, who
are often compelled to traverse unire-
quented streets at night

Young Husbands Crime.

Washington ]. Quiggle, twenty-four
years old, secretary to Thomas F. Walsh,
of Washington, shot his wife and himself
about 1910 O clock this morning 10 their
bedroom at the Brunswick apartment
house on | street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets northwest. Quiggle
died on the WHY to the Emergency Hos
pital, and his wife, Hattie Quiggle,
twenty-five years of age, who was also
taken to the Emergency, Is believed by
the physicians to be fatally wounded.
According to the night clerk at the
apartment house. Mr.. and Mrs. Quiggle
had been out during the evening and did
not 60 to their rooms until late. About
an hour after their return Mrs. Wilcox,
from whom they rented their rooms, on
the eighth floor. was startled by the re-
port of the revolver shots coming from
the Quiggle apartment. She hurried to
the door and found it locked. She then
summoned the clerk, who opened the
door and found Mr.. Quiggle lying mo-
tionless on the floor near the foot of the
bed and Mrs. Quiggle staggering about
the room. Mrs. Quiggle told them that
her husband had shot her and continued
to staggcr about the room, crying. 81
don't want to die"
Mr.. Quiggle was born and reared in
Ouray, Colo, and was working rs an in
surance agent when he was taken into
the employ of Mr.. Walsh, about a year
and half ago, and went to Washington
as the latter's secretary.
Mrs Quiggle was formerly EMPLOYED
at the Willard Hotel, it is said, as a
chambermaid, and last spring was en-
gagged as a parlor maid by Mrs Walsh,
and accompanied the family to Newport,
r. |.
1t was during business trip to New
port last June that they met. He made
several other visits to Newport during
the summer, but any attention on his
part toward the young woman was not
noticeable by the Walsh family. They
were secretly married in September, but
it became known only recently.
At the Brunswick nothing was known
of the causes that led up to the tragedy
or the circumstances surrounding it,
The body of Quiggle was found on
the floor at the foot of the bed in a
large pool of blood, he having shot him
self with the last ball in the revolver.
The couple had retired for the night
Their clothing was arranged in order
and the bed had been occupied. The
appearance of the room bears testimony
to the fact that there was an effort on
the part of the unfortunate woman to es
cape from her husband.
Two shots were found in the wall and
another bullet had crashed through the
door into the hall at just about the
height where one of the shots that struck
Mrs. Quiggle took effect.
On the door post were the distinct
marks OF a bloody hand, where the
woman had stood for Il moment to sup
port herself while she turned the key
that gave her freedom from the man
who must have been pursuing her.
The police found two Of the bullets.

Murder and Suicide.

Milton Franklin Andrews. the muir
derer of Bessie BOuton, near G dorado
Springs, and who tried to kill W. c..
Ellis. an Australian hOrseman, in Berke-
ley, October II, last night killed his
female companion, Hulda P. Olivia, and
committed suicide in public on FRANKLIN
street, San Francisco. For nearly four
weeks the police have been searching for
traces of Andrews and his companion,
who disappeared on the very day that
they tried to kill Ellis. They lured
Ellis to house and Andrews hit him
over the head while he was eating lunch.
Ellis managed to escape and warned the
police but before they reached the
house Andrews and the woman had fed.
Andrews was passing under the name Of
Brush, but the notoriety caused by this
crime led to his Identification as the
murderer of Bessie BOutOn. Andrews
and Hilda Olivia crossed the bay to San
Francisco and went to honse which
they had engaged beforehand. As both
their pictures had been printed, it is
supposed that fear of being recognized
and arrested led to the killing of the
woman and Andrews suicide.
