FIVE MEN KILLED.

Five men were killed and three more
or less seriously injured as a conse-
quehce of a passenger train coming at
top speed yesterday morning upou a
gang OF eleven carpenters engaged in
making repairs to a trestle of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad over the Falls
road. short distance north OF Mount
Royal station. near Baltimore. 1t is
said that the passenger train gave no
warning Of its approach.
By far the most striking act OF the
tragedy was the desperate attempt Of
two men to save their lives by clinging
to the pilot of the locomotive. One OF
them-Frank Ray--was successful, the
other is one Of three men who were
carried dead from the tracks, As the
engine bore down upon them they look
ed up too late to escape. On one side
was a long freight train, while the sheer
drop to the Maryland and Pennsylvania
tracks yawned at their left. 1t was a
case of quick choice. Both leaped a

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Anna Sutter, the leading singer in
the royal opera at Stuttgart, was shot
and killed yesterday in Berlin by DIR.
Alois Obrist, a former conductor Of
the opera DR.. Obrist then shot HIM
self dead.
Obrist visited Fraulein Suffers fiat
at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning carry
ing large bouquet. A maid servant
told him that her mistress was in bed
and could not see him. Obrist replied
that he could not wait and must see
Fraulein Sutter. He pushed the girl
aside and went to the bedroom.
Fraulein Sutter was asleep. Obrist
did not awaken her, but fired two shots
from revolver at her, the bullets
penetrating her breast The woman
gave a scream, half rose, and then
sank back on her pillow, dead. Obrist
fired three shots into his own chest
and died instantly. A second loaded
revolver was found in one Of his
pockets.
Fraulein Sutter is variously stated
to have been between 35 and Al years
old. She was born i'll Switzerland. She
was a great popular favorite, and her
male admirers were many. She was
not married, but was the mother Of
two children, who usually accompanied
her on the streets.
Obrist was AZ years old. He became
enamored of Fraulein Sutter, who ap-
parently did not discourage him. When
he left stuttgart three years ago he
obtained Fraulein Suffers promise TO
marry him if he were able to divorce
his wife. He returned to Stuttgart
last September, having in the mean
time obtained a divorce and claimed
the fulfillment of the promise.
1t is stated that Fraulein Sutter had
found a more attractive lover in a
young opera singer, and that she re-
buffed Obrist. His unwelcome attentions
became publicly notorious. Finally,
iealouSly and despair impelled him to
murder and suicide.

Looking Back.

You will find, as you look back upon
your life, that the moments that stand
out---the moments when you have real.
ly lived--are the moments when you
have done things In a spirit Of love.
As memory scans the past, above and
beyond all the transitory pleasures Of
life there leap forward those supreme
hours when you have been enabled to
do unnoticed kindnesses to those
round about you. things too trifiing to
speak about but which you feel have
entered into your eternal life.-Henry
