Worcester, Mass.-Spurred by jeal-
ousy and a desire for revenge, John
Rowlen Wednesday afternoon shot and
fatally injured his wife Marcella in
their home at S8 Endicott street. He
then fired two bullets into his own
abdomen and fell dead on the floor of
the sitting room. Mrs. Rowlen died a
few minutes later as she was taken
from the ambulance into the City hos
pital.
Mrs. Rowlen was an exceedingly good
looking woman. Rowlen was an expert
dyer, holding a good position in the
Whittal carpet mill, until about FIVE
weeks ago, when he left Worcester be-
cause of family troubles to go to Brock
ton.
He had been a frequent caller at po-
lice headquarters because of these
family troubles and in his conferences
with Chief of Police Stone, who knew
him and his wife very we'll, he told
of his suspicious of boarder who had
evidently usurped the affections of his
wife.
He called at the house and found
his wife, her brother and sister, Joseph
and Annie Streamatis, and boarder,
Adolf Ludekes, all dressed and ready
to go to a Lithuanian picnic in Lees
vile, his two daughters having gone
earlier in the day to the outing He
made no trouble when he entered the
house, but just as the party was leav-
ing he called his wife back and said:
Come in here; l want to say some
thing to you"
He then chased his wife to a rear
bdroom, where Rowlen overlook her
bedroom, where Rowlen overlook her
body as she covered near the bed. He
then turned and ran back into the
sitting room where he turned the re-
volver against himself and fired two
bullets into his abdomen, falling to the
floor and expiring in few seconds.
The daughters knew nothing of the
tragedy VntilI they returned from the
picnic, laughing and enjoying them
selves.

Madrid, Spain.-All spain Is rejolc-
ing on the eve of the wedding of King
Alfonso and Princess Victoria, and the
capital has not seen such scenes of tu-
multuous hilarity during the present
generation.
The whole city is aglow with fire.
works and electrical illuminations,
while the streets are thronged with
dense masses of people. At the corners
bands play for street dancers and the
municipality has given free rein to
the popular rejoicings.
The chief events were the kings re-
ception to the foreign ENJOYS, including
the representative of the United States,
Frederick w. Whitrldge, and the sign
ing of the wedding contract.
His majesty greeted the special Am
erican envoy most graciously and in
perfect English thanked the United
States for having sent special mis-
sion such a distance.
Mr.. Whitridge handed the king a
sealed letter from President Roosevelt
and made an address Of felicitation in
behalf of the American people. The
king broke the seal of President Roose-
Velt's letters, read it attentively and
then in most gracious manner con-
veyed his thanks to the President in
behalf Of himself and the Spanish ma
tion.
The signing of the wedding contract
took place at the Pardo palace in the
presence of premier Moret, and the
other cabinet ministers, with the SOL
emnity befitting a great state ceremon-
ial affecting the future succession to
the throne. The marriage contract
gives the bride an annual income of
100000 and in event of the kings death
$4,000, and Princess Victoria renounces
all right of succession to the British
throne.
Many receptions were held at night,
among them those at the British en-
bassy to the Prince of Wales, at the
Italian embassy to the Duke of Genoa,
at the German embassy to Prince AL
brecht Of Prussia, at the French en-
bassy to Gen. Dahlstein and at the
American legation to special envoy
Whitridge.

Elftssn Hurt ln Crash.

Hopkinton, Memorial day
was ushered in with bad electric car
accident at Hopkiuton, when west and
and eastbound cars on the South Middle
sex street railway crashed about one
half mile out, between here and Ash
land.
Fourteen passengers and motorman
were injured, and that the motormen OF
both cars were not killed outright was
remarkable.
The injured: o. D. Clark, Westboro,
head cut and leg injured; Frank D.
Stone, Westboro, hand cut; Mrs. Jen-
ME Eliot, Westboro, internal injuries;
taken to Framingham hospital; Nor
gam Sweeney, Milford, head and face
severely cut; Lillian Gilmore, Hopkin-
ton, head cut; Peter McKeone, Hopkin-
ton, shoulder disoCated; John ID. Den
men, Hopkinton, face cut; Rupert f.
Bates, HOpkinton, leg and side injured;
Priscilla Etter, Hopkinton, Internal in
ternal injuries; Felix McKenna, Spen-
Ger, badly cut about head and leg, and
back injured; taken to Framingham
hospital; Edward Merchant, Westboro,
knee and hip injured; Mrs. John
O'Brien, WestbOro, ankles sprained;
Nettie Stratton, Hopkinton, cuts on
head and face; Mrs. Ruth H. Ware,
Holliston, cuts on head and face.
None Of the passengers in the west
bound car was injured.
Local physicians were on the scene
of the accident within a few minutes
after 1t happened and gave every pos
sible aid.
A closed car left Hopkinton west
bound at 1880 a. m. in charge of con-
ductor Melvin A. Smith and motorman
James r. Long. 1t was returning from
the regular trip to Ashland and South
Framihgham, and at the turnout known
at No. 8, about one mile from the cen
ter, should have passed the regular car
leaving Hopkinton at sos. The car
did not wait, however, and the col
lision occurred just beyond curve on
Mahar's hill. The east-bound car,
which was single truck open car, was
in charge of conductor James II. Muir
ply and motorman James F. McDon-
ough.
Seeing a collision was inevitable mo-
torman Long reversed the power and
jumped from the vestibule, and this
action undoubtedly saved his life.
Motorman McDonough stuck to his
post, and also reversed, but was caught
in the smashup. His left wrist was
broken, both legs injured, his right
thumb split open, and he received bad
cuts on the face and head.
The collision occurred on a steep
grade, and the heavier westbound car
pushed the lighter open one more than
100 yards before they could be stopped.
The front ends of the cars were bad
ly wrecked.
This Is the first accident of account
to occur on the South Middlesex road
since it began operation II years ago.
For about two years the line has been
operated and managed through N. Sum
nor MJ'riols, roooi<'ar, OF 1osten, ~
the Newton & Boston street railway
company.
Conductor Smith and motorman
Long have the sincere sympathy of
the community. They are both highly
esteemed young men.

Maxim Gorky in Boston.

Boston, Mass.-With all the elo-
duence Of the Russian tongue, with all
the subtle art of a master OF language
Maxim Gorky, hero of the Russian rev.
olutionists, pleaded "Wednesday even
ing-tbe night Of united country's
memorial day-the cause of constitu-
tional liberty for his people.
More than 24O0 crowded into every
available space in the Grand opera
house, heard him and with cheers upon
cheers loosened their purse strings and
emptied their pockets OF money that
he might see that SO far as lay in
their power it was not to be mRnswer-
ed.
HIS appearance, at the eosinnine of
the meeting, gave the audience what
it had desired for nearly half an hour
"a chance to let all its pent-up vocal
energy fill the air in tumult Of en-
thusiasm. 1t was precisely 500 when
the demonstration to the lecturer be-
gan and fully three minutes later be-
fore it subsided.
During that time Gorky twisted his
moustache impatiently smiled indul-
gently, though not patronizingly, and
waited. To him, he says, the cause
of Russian freedom is impersonal and
thus he would have it.. Not so with
his admirers; it is first GoFky and then
free Russia.
Gorky is unassuming and straight
forward. There was little display of
gesture during his speaking.
A red flag with Welcome, Gorky," in
white letters, hung out from in front
Of the balcony. A vase of red roses
rested on the reading desk on the
stage.
Gorky's day had been passed in look
ing over many places of historic sig
niticance in the city. He first was
driven from the Revere House, where
he is staying, to the monument erect
ed to William Lloyd Garrison on Com
monwealth avenue. Before this he
kneeled and placed a wreath of ivy
tied with red bow at the base Of
the statue. The ribbon bore these
words, From Maxim Gorky."
In his journeys about town, accom-
panied by his adopted son, Nicholal
Peschkoff; his secretary, Nicholai
Bournanin; John Martin of New York,
his host in this country, and his inter-
prefer, and DR.. Antoinette F. Konikow
and DR.. M. G. Konikow, he went to the
Old South church and to other spots
and buildings famous the world over.
He stopped to see Faneuil hall, and ar
rived there while a memorial service
of Spanish war veterans was in prog
ress. Upon being recognized, he was
given an ovation, which he acknowl-
edged by lifting his hat and bow.

Lundy island, Bng.-H. M, S. Mon
tagu Is ashore at Shutter Point ana
may be total loss The battleshlp
struck during a dense fog and is IN a
bad position. Great holes have been
stove in her bottom and plates, ana
several OF her compartments, her en-
CINE and boiler rooms and her stoke
holds ara flooded. WNtNr la gaining
on her, both propellers are gone, and
she is listing heavily and helplessly on
the rocks. II storm arises her posi-
ton, 1t is believed, will be perilous in
the extreme. The battleship Duncan
and the dockyard tug Alligator have
arrived here and are standing by the
Montagu to render any assistance pos
sible.
The Montagu struck on granite
cone southwest Of Lundy Island,
known as Shutter Point, at 2,1O in the
morning.
The sea remains smooth with a
moderate ground swell and a gentle
west to southwest breeze, but thick
fog prevails.
The Montagu was proceeding to
Penzance in preparation for the forth
coming maneuvres, and apparently
missed her course in fog.
She appears to be firmly fixed on
the rocks, and II storm springs up
will hn
The latest news of the Montagu
deepens the gravity of the disaster.
The vast rents in her bottom render
it doubtful where she can be refloated.
Her crew have been transferred to
other ships. Some of the men are re-
ported to have been injured
Later further examination Of the
Montagu showed that her injuries
were more severe than at first
thought.
Her bottom is pierced by the rocks
in several places, and at low water her
position will be much more dangerous.
Her bow and stern are clear of the
rocks, on which she Is resting amid
ships, and 1T is feared she will break
| ber back.
The Montagu is first class steel
battleship. She was launched in 1908,
cost about $5,25O,O00, and carried
crew of 750 officers and men.
Her armament consists of four 12-
inch guns, 12 six-inch guns, IL IL
Founders, number of smaller guns
and four torpedo tubes.
The Montagu has from SIX 10 IA
inches OF armor and twin screws, and
had a speed of over 18 knots. She is
commanded by Captain Thomas B.

MICHAEL DAvIrr DEAD,
A Notable carssr Ended In the Death
Of Famous Irish Leader

Dublln.--A notable career closed
Wednesday night, when, after long
and painful illness, Michael DaVitt
died peacefully and painlessly at IL
O'Clock in the presence OF his Oldest
son, Michael, and his two daughters
who had devotedly attended him
through his Illness, and of many OF his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon
Shortly before his death FIR. Hatton
had been with him. Mrs. Davitt, who
had been in constant attendance on
her husband until a few days ago,
when she herself was taken Ill, lies
PROSTATE in the same hospital, too
weak to leave the room. She has not
yet been informed OF her husbands
death.
1t is stated that Mr.. Davitt left
written message, but II so its purport
has not transpired.
The greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society dur
ing Mr.. Davitt's illness. All day the
hospital was besieged by anxious In
uulrers. John E. Redmond, leader OF
the Irish parliamentary party, was a
frequent inquirer by telephone from
the house of commons, and gave up
his proposed continental trip over the
Whitsuntide holidays in consequence
of the condition of his friend, the
father of the Irish land league. After
a rally Mr.. DaVltt was able to speak
to those at his bedside, but soon
showed that he was losing ground.
Among the last callers at the hospi'
tai was Lord Hemphill, on behalf OF
the earl of Aberdeen, lord lieutenant
of Ireland, and the countess OF Aber
deem.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations fol
necrosis of the jawbone, and spread
so rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course was unavailing. Mr. Davitt''
illness began with an insidious at
tack of toothache, to which he paid
no attention until John Dillon urged
him TO have recourse to medical ad
vice.
