Also Shot.

NEWARK, n. J.. March 1o.-,rhe Rev.
Erasmus Ansione, curate at ST. Stanis-
laus' Polish Catholic Church, was as
sassinated in the parish rectory, this
morning, by three men.
The housekeeper of the rectory, Miss
Antnia Lonista, was also shot. The

bas Hospital, in a police ambulance.

The cause Of the shooting has not
been learned. and the men who shot
the priest escaped.
The dead priest came here from Pat
erson, y. j., three months ago. He was
assistant rector at st. Stephens Polish
Catholic Church, on Beach street. Pat

trouble among the parishionerS OF St.
Stephens Church, but it IS declared that
Father Ansione had no part in the ex-

The rectory OF St. StanisIaus' Church

was IN CnurCl tnIS
the o'clock mass, when the door bell
Of the rectory rang and Miss Lonista,
who Is a woman about forty-seven
years of age, responded. There was
group of three or four men at the
door. and they asked to see Father
Ansione. Father Ansione had offered
early mass and came down stairs from
his room He greeted the visitors and
escorted them into the little front par
Tor of the rectory. What happened
there IS a mystery.
The first intimation that something
was wrong, was when the sound - sew
eral shots rang through the house Miss
IlCnista rushed into the room. and was
struck down at the door by a bullet.
The group Of men rushed over her fallen
body, made their way through the front
door TO Belmont avenue, and escaped
down West Kinney street The tugl-
tives were seen running away, but no
definite description could be obtained.

The sound of the shots attracted Fali--

Promotion by selection instead of by
seniority will in all likelihood be aban-

was the haoit Of jumping juniors over

motions by selection brought him a vast

At the close Of his Administration Mr.
Roosevelt himself followed the rule OF

NO REST FOR ARMY
UNDER TAFT REGIME
More Ninety-Mie Rides or Some Other
Tests in Their Place

Army officers who had been indulging
in fond hopes that as soon as the siren
uous regime Of Theodore Roosevelt was
at an end. things would be easier for
them. have another guess coming.
At least, that is the talk in well-in-
formed army quarters. MIR. Taft has
not yet indicated just what his course
win be with respect to the army. But
army men who are always up TO snuff
are saying that Mr. Taft will not allow
the army to go to sleep any more than
his predecessor did.
For instance, that revered innovation
OF Mr. Roosevelt, the ninety-Inile ride,
is likely to stay. 1t IL does not stay,
something OF the sort will be put m
its place. Mr.. Taft is something OF a
follower OF the strenuous life himself

WARNINGS IN Vain,
TRAGEDY FOLLOWS
Mrs. Iseminger and Morgan
Laughed at Threats of
Formers Husband.

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, March 10
Hundreds of curious persons were wait
ing at the cemetery in Funkstown, nea-
here. this afternoon to attend the burial
of Charles E Iseminger, who murdered
his wife, Mrs. Alnira Z. Iseminger, and
her companion, Douglas Mongan, and
then blew his own brains out
Mrs Iseminger will be buried at Mt
Aetna at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
and the funeral Of Morgan will also
be held tomorrow.
The crowd which gathered in front of
the undertaking establishment where
she three bodies lay became so large
this morning that the city authorities
decided IL would be best to satisfy the
morbid curiosity of the throng. A pO-
liceman was stationed at the door of the
undertaking establishment and admitted
four or five persons at a time to view
the bodies.
Carefully Planned.
The investigation by the police has
developed that IsemInger had carefully
laid his plans for numbering his wife
and the man whom he accused OF win
ming her affections, For seve raj days. II
appears, he had been waiting for an
opportunity to kill them in each others
company.
Iseminser told a number &C persons
that he intended to kill MOugan and
himself, his associates declare, and
Mrs. Iseminger they would go together
Knowing that his wife had gone to
the theater. Isemlnger hid behind a
signboard on the outskirts Of the town.
1t was necessary for Mrs. Iseminger and
Mongan to pass within a few feet. Ap-
parently fearing that Iseminger would
attack them on the street, the couple
took roundabout way. When they
reached the signbOard Iseminger was
waiting.
There were no witnesses to the shoot
ing, but many persons heard the shots.
When the first persons reached the
scene of the tragedy, the two men and
the woman were lying on the ground q
few feet apart All were dead
Married Twelve Years.
