 EXCITEMENT TO RIOT.
 St Petersburg, March 30.-In view of the present agitation throughout the country, some of the newspapers are seriously alarmed at the effect of the recent pastoral address of the metro politan of St Petersburg, M. Antonlus' as being a direct indictment to the ig- norant peasants to begin war or extermination against the entire eau cated class, and the papers are de- manding that the metropolitan and the holy synod, whose mouthpiece it is as stunned Antonius was, take 1mmeUate measures to counteract the eHect or HIS statements. Prince Mestchersky, eul- tor of the Grashdanin, denounced the sermon as the most dangerous utter ance of the century and pictures the inevitable impression produced on the ignorant religious minded peasants o1 a damnation from the altar of the m tellectuals' as being the foes of Rus sia, bloody. wolves and followers of the anti-Christ of the west who would de stroy holy temples, place sacred bones in anatomical museums and Wean the people from their chance of entering the kingdom of heaven.
 NJ. Onereshkovski, the famous Rus sian author, declares that to call or the faithful to fight with the cross tt the last drop of their blood for the sal yation of Russia as the home of Chris and to cut off the rotten branch, Ii nothing short of a tOcsin for a religious uprising, an appeal to the most fanatl .. cal and the most incOntrollable or ntl man passions. "The fire once started, he adds, would produce q world O historic contagrations," which neithe the government nor the intellectual can stop. In effect he attirms that An toniuss address was an appeal to tn peasants to tear out from Russia al European culture and put the countr. back to the state ill which it was Il the middle ages. and from that stand point it was more radical than the doc trines of the most radical revolution aries.

DEAD OF NIGHT.
Oxford Teacher Found Un. cOnsciOus-Father Lives
 Here.

Oxford, Conn, March 30-Miss Crandall, p years of age, school teacher of this place, was found dur of woodland about mile from her home, unconscious and in critical state from the effect of two bullet wounds in her left side. She had left the home of her father, Thomas Cran- dall, where she lived, early last even- ing with the intention of taking a short walk before retiring. When she did not return at a late hour a search was made for her and she was found at the place mentioned. At the time she left the house she had wrapped a shawl around her head and shoul- ders and this was not diSarranged when she was found. The revolver from which the shots had been fired was on the ground a few feet from where Miss Crandall lay. Miss Gran dall had been a successful teacher here in the opinion of those who knew her. but she had often expressed a wish to fill position of greater re- sponsibility as a teacher elsewhere.
 Later reports say that Miss Crandall had become discouraged because some parents had removed their children from her school, which she has taught in TOwantic.
 It is believed that she cannot re- cover. Her father is Thomas Crandall, who has been a watchman at the fac tory of the Benedict X Burnham Co, Waterbury, for twenty years.
 Miss Crandall was appointed a teach CT in TOwantic about six weeks, ago. Neighboring jealOusies are said to have caused her much anxiety and it is supposed the trouble preyed on her mind until she became temporarily in sane. Although the shooting was a mystery at first. a statement made by Miss Crandall after she was removed to her home is said to have made ii a certain case of suicide.
