Improved Grounds.

The step being taken to make
the school ground more attract
i've seems to meet with unani-
nous approval. The thought of
so beautiful building being
surrounded by unsightly grounds
Is not to be entertained. Har-
mony in all things is requisite
and especially SO in providing
for educational influences on
young people.
A boy who is brought up amid
cleanliness and beautiful environ
ment will have a far greater re-
spect for property than one who
is not. 1t is the boy who grows
up with little knowledge of flow
ers or clean yards, who des troys
public property by defacing it
with pencil or knife.
Nicer homes, lawns, and parks
will do more than much preach
ing toward protecting school
houses, churches, or other pub
lie buildings.

are gaining rapidly on the num-

New York, Oct. 9.-Two alienists,
DIR. Charles G. Wagner and DR.. Brit
ton ID. Evans, visited H. X. Thaw in
his cell again to continue their obser-
vations, cutting short Mrs. Thaw's talk
with her husband. The request of DR..
Frank Mcclure. the Tombs physician,
to have two other doctors present was
refused, the alienists saying they were
not going to make physical eXamin-
alton. Thaw's first visitors were John
B. Keenan,. Pittsburg lawyer, who
appeared in the case for the first time,
and A. r. Peabody. an associate of
Hartridge.
District Attorney Jerome and Gar
van, his assistant, were in conference
in the morning about fixing date for
the trial Of Thaw. but came to no de-
cision. Assistant District Attorney
Garvan said that the motion prohibit
ing him from examining witnesses in
the Thaw case has. for the time be-
ing, put stopper on things, as it
was essential, he said, that he ex-
anime certain witnesses along the
lines which he had in view.
Mrs. William Thaw, accompanied
by Mrs. George L. Carnegie. spent
half an hour with her son. Her visit
was cut short by the arrival of Cliff

William appeared In the church, and
took seat In pew near the altar.
A few moments later the wedding par
ty, consisting of the bride and BRIDE
groom and attendants. proceeded up
the aisle. AS the bridegroom passed
the pew In which his brother-in-law
was sitting the latter, to everybody's
horror. drew a revolver, and, present
ing 1t within few inches of the hap
less groom, fired. The wounded man
fell into the arms of his bride, his
blood coloring her wedding gown and
forming pool on the floor of the
church. Although every effort was
made to save his life he died the fol-
lowing day. His last words were
words of forgiveness for his murderer.
Thompson exhibited the most perfect
composure during the trial for mur-
der. Within a year after his convic-
ton he escaped from the asylum in
which he was confined, and most ex-
haustive search disclosed no trace of
his whereabouts, until the past week,
eighteen years after the commission
of the crime, he strolled into the police
barracks and surrendered himself. He
was apparently perfectly sane and his
only explanation of his long absence
was that he had been in America.

RETURNS AFTER
HIDING EIGHTEEN YEARS

Associated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Dublin, Oct. 9.-The police barracks
at Markethill, County Armagh, has
just been the scene of startling in
cident which recalls one of the most
remarkable crimes in Irish history for
the past 20 years. In the early part of
1888 man named William Thompson
was convicted of the. murder of his
brother-in-law and sentenced to death.
He was respited and sent to penal
servitude for life. The man after
wards developed insanity, and was re-
moved to lunatic asylum near Dub
lin. From that institution he escaped
a few months later, and although the
whole country was secured no trace of
him ever was found.
The tragedy occurred ON March 2,
eighteen years ago in the little church
of Knocknamuckley, which is prettily
situated on the borders of counties
Down and Armagh. There was the
usual hustle and excitement which
heralds an Irish village wedding where
the parties are we'll known and popu-
lar. The groom, Thomas Thompson,
was being married for the second time,
his first wife being sister of William
Thompson, the escaped convict. Just
