Worry and Drink Had Evidently Got
the Better of Him.

st. Paul, May Bop. J. Gibbons, a
Sunday shot and killed his wife at their
home in that city. A few minutes later
Gibbons rang the doorbell at the resi-
dence of Father e. j. Walsh, the young
pastor of st. Augustine IS Roman Cath

fred two shots into the priests head,
killing him almost instantly.
Gibbons has been an inmate of drink

said there have been several estrange-
ments between Gibbons and his wife,
and that Father Walsh has each time
successfully interviewed as peacemaker
At the jail Gibbons said: "Its a pc.
culiar world, looking at it from any
angle. I've viewed it several ways and
don It know much about it yet. L had
a wife once who did not care for me but
liked the company of others. She had
children who were my children. She
could not have cared for them or she
would not have dishonored them.

year, but said nothing. She suspected

suspicious. We lived that way until
today. For me it was hell on earth;
for her don It know, and she can It tell.
1t is all over with US now, and 1 am at
peace with myself. Let follow what
may.
"When Father Walsh came to South
st. Paul 1 was jubilant. He appeared
such a nice fellow, and [ went to him
and volunteered what support was in
my power to give him. He thanked me,
and we became fast friends. Then fol
lowed game of treachery and deceit
game that l was not in on, yet deeply
interested in.
"I had invited Father Walsh to my
home and introduced him to my wife
and family.
'The visits of Father Walsh were be-
coming too frequent to please me. He
appeared at my home in the afternoons
when was at my Office and spent sew
eral hours in the company of Mrs. Glib
bons. Sometimes my children were pres
ent, but more often not. said nothing
to my Whenever mentioned that ]
thought anything of the frequent visits
had planned my little game which
worked so SUCCESSFULLY"
Gibbons has lived in South st. Paul
about 25 years. For long time he was
chief of police. About 10 years ago he
went into the commission business, in
which he is said to have been success
full. About 20 years ago he married Mel
lie MCGOWAN, and seven children were
born to them.

Anxious Moment at Storm King.

The time when it seemed most likely
to those on the Times train that Curtiss
would fail in his flight was when he en-
countered Storm King mountain and all
its terrors. What the water navigators
have said of it was none too strong to
express the view of the aeronaut. The
zigzagging motion of the earlier trou-
bles now gave place to pitching and
lurching and made Mrs. Curtiss blanch
with fear and hold tight to the window
ledge.

WONDER OF WORLD
FEAT OF GLENN CURTISS and
HIS AEROPLANE.
He Flew From Albany to New York, 1877
Miles, IN Two Hours and 80 Minutes
With His Heavier Than-Air Machine
He Won a $4,000 Prize-Flew Faster
Than MiIe-a-Minute Train.

New York, May 30.-Glenn H. Curtiss
flew from Albany to New York city in
an aeroplane Sunday, winning the
$4,000 prize offered by the New York
World.
He covered the distance of 1877 miles
in two hours and 80 minutes, and came
to earth as calmly and as lightly as a
pigeon.
His average speed for the distance
54.06 miles an hour-surpasses any other
record made by aeroplane in lOng-dis-
lance flight, and in it's entirety his
flight echpses anything man has ats
tempted in a heavier-than-air machine.
The start was made from Albany at
1880 o'clock Sunday morning under
weather conditions as nearly perfect as
the most fastidious aviator could de-
mand. One hour and % minutes later
he had made his stopping place near
Poughkeepsie, where there was an
hour s intermission. Resuming his flight
at 1926 he sped southwark and landed
within the boundary of Manhattan isl
and at 1926.
Only 100 yards north of the point at
which his craft settled stretched Spuy.
ten Devil creek, separating Manhattan
island from the mainland. Had he failed
to cross this his flight would have been
in vain, but as he swept over it the
prize was his. Thence to Governor s isl
and, his task was but the concluding lap
of a race already won.
Speedier Than Paulham's Flight
Paulham s flight from London to Man
chester-1S6 miles-exceeded this Cur
tiss feat in distance, but not in speed
and danger. The Frenchman' average
was 44.3 miles an hour, and below him
lay English meadowland. Curtiss fol
lowed the windings of the historic Hud-
son river, with jutting headlands,
wooded slopes and treacherous palisades,
He swung high over the great bridge at
Poughkeepsie, dipped at times within so
feet of the rivers broad surface and
jockeyed like falcon at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs of
rebellion. This was off Storm King, near
West Point, when at height of nearly
thousand feet, treacherous gust fuke
threw his planes awry.
The machine dropped 40 feet and
tilted perilously, but Curtiss kept his
head and by adroit manipulation re-
stored the equilibrium.
A special train chartered by the Times
followed the aeroplane all the journey.
The total time of Curtiss flight
through the $50 miles of his trip was
two hours and 46 minutes. He concluded
the flight at ~ O. clock sharp, and spent
one hour and four minutes resting near
Poughkeepsie, and one hour and seven
minutes resting at Two Hundred and
Fourteenth street, when he replenished
his reservoir with oil. The New York
Central's fastest train, the Twentieth
Century limited, would make the same
run, minus the distance from Forty-sec-
ond street to Governors island, or 143
miles, in two hours and 81 minutes, or
1876 miles an hour, a mile every minute
and 10 seconds. Curtiss average speed
was 54.1S miles an hour, which is equal
to mile in every minute and six sec

Mary sat her quietly down aud tears

along and did not stop to buy, John still
sat and smoked his pipe and blinked his
