Killed hy Rejected Lover.

In the presence of 60 pupils in the
South Euclid School at Cleveland, o.,
Horny Smith, 90 yoaro old, shot to
death Miss Mary Sheppard, a teacher
% years old, yesterday afternoon. Cor
nered behind the barn in the rear of his
home, in Warrensville, two hours later,
Smith shot himself through the head,
dying instatly.
Four Cleveland policemen, with drawn
revolvers and under cover OF eight armed
farmers were about to rush on Young
Smith when he ended his life. Disap-
pointment in love is said to have been
the motive of the cold 'blooded murder.
Smith, who was fourth cousin to Miss
Sheppard, had wooed her for sometime
and recently was rejected. He brooded
over the unhappy ending of his court
ship and yesterday afternoon, first quit
ting bis position, bought revolver and
went to the South Euclid School. Miss
Shepard responded to his knock at the
door. He walked in and for few
moments talked to her in the hall. Sud-
IDENTIFY he whipped out his revolver,
showed it against her head and fired
twice in rapid succession, both bullets
crashing through her brain.
Panic spread among the pupils, who
rushed out of the building screaming.
Some of the girls tainted.
Smith leisureIy walked out and board
ed car for Warrensyille. The news Of
the crime went like wild6re, and 10 less
than half an hour an armed posse form
ed and was in full pursuit. The identity
Of the murderer was quickly established.
Chief of Police Kohler was notified, and
he dispatched four policemen to Smiths
home, in Wsrrensville, short distance
from the school. On the suburban car
Smith confessed to the conductor tia. he
had killed Miss Shepard and remarked
that "they will have to kill me to get
me-"
Reaching home but a few minutes be-
fore the arrival of the posse and police,
Smith told his father of the crime. When
his pursuers hove in sight the young
man became highly nervous aud ran
from the honse to the rear Of the barn.
His father remained in his house. A
loaded double. barreled shotgun was lean
ing against one side of the house, but
was passed by Smith, who evidently had
determined not to put up a fight, bu,
end his life as soon as SURROUNDED. When
the posse got within a few feet Of him,
calling for bis surrender, and as the four
officers we're rushing to effect his cap
ture, he placed the revolver against his
head and blew ont his brains

Hearst and Murphy.

New York, Oct. ll.-Hearst and
Murphy came to an agreement in regard
to the judicial nominations to go on the
democratic ticket, and the slate made up
BY the two factions was adopted formally
at the Tammapy county convention last
night. The convention itself was per-
fnnctory affair, the delegates adopting
the slate without objection or comment.
In addition to Hearst and Murphy, Big
Tim Sullivan had hand 10 the selection.
Sullivan had only one candidate to pre-
sent, but he got his man, Mitchell t.
Erlanger, his personal attorney, put on
the slate. Sullivan also had hand in
crushing tie ambition of one or two of
HearsPs friends to see their names on
the ticket. Hearst is credited with die
tatiDgifour OF the six candidates named
for iudge3hips. Murphy and Tammany
selected the others. The ticket accord
ingly is a composite affair representing
many elements. Strangest of all was
the acceptance by Tammany of an out
and out republican as one OF its candi-
dates. John Ford, insisted upon by
Hearst, went on the ticket.
