DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT ST. JOHNS.
Jury.
Nathan 6utterfield, Foreman Of Fish
Hatchery, shot G. Cuthbert Williams,
Culturist, Then Killed Himself.

Hatchery, Shot G. Cuthbert Williams,
cuIturlst, Then Killed Himself.
A murder and suicide took place at
the United States fish hatchery two
miles outside the village Of st. Johns
bury just before noon Sunday, Nathan
Butterfield shooting G. Cuthbert Will
liams with a revolver and then turning
the weapon upon himself. 1t is believed
that Butterfield was mentally unbalanc-
ed. He was foreman of the hatchery
and his home was in Milford, N. H. Will
liams was a culturist and came from
York, Pa. For the past two years they
had worked together at the hatchery.
After the death of Butterfield's 81
year-old daughter in Milford last month
it was noticed that he was morose and
quick of temper, but this feeling was not
manifested particularly against Williams.
Just before moon Butterfield went to the
hatchery and found Williams at work
alone in the stable. Investigation after
ward showed no signs of any struggle,
and as all of the four bullets which were
found in Williams's body had entered
from behind, 1t is supposed that Butter
field shot his victim before the latter
knew of his presence. Butterfield then
apparently placed the revolver In his
through his head. The bodies were
found during the afternoon by Faulkner
Carter, the 1~4-year-old son Of Superin-
tendent Carter OF the hatchery.
Williams leaves two small children. His
father, Sysman Williams, Is said to be
a prominent railroad attorney OF York.
Pa. Butterfield leaves a wife and one
daughter In Milford, although his home
for years was in Nashua, N. H., where
he was a motorman before becoming
connected with the hatchery at st.

A verdict Of not guilty was returned
by the jury in Rutland county court Fri
day afternoon in the case of the state
against Harley Burt, charged with killing
Frank Smith of Pawlet Oct. 81. The
jury was out only seven minutes and
when the result was announced the
crowd made such a demonstration of ap-
prevail that it took the sheriff some time
to restore order. Burt struck Smith
over the head with a club In an ~alterca-
ton after he had demonstrated with
Smith for beating a balky horse. Smith
was intoxicated and had fallen previous
to being struck. His skull was frac-
tured. The defense was that the blow
was struck in self defense and that 1t
was not sufficient to cause the fracture.

A nun named Sister Ludmilla, belong

 of Vienna, has eoped in romantic circum-
 stances with a patient of the Weemberg
 infirmary, Prague, Bohemia, where she
 had been acting as a nurse. It is GUS tomary in Austria for nuns after talk
 ing the vows of celibacy to be employed as hospital nurses. Sister Ludmilla was
 on duty in her ward when a patient was brought in for an operation. The con- Valescenee was long and painful, but despite the monastic rule forbidding q
 nun to speak of herself, patient and nurse spent hours in talking to each oth-
 CT Almost unconsciously the couple fell in love, but such was their discretion in talking to each other that no one al

The patient was afterwards discharged as cured, but before leaving the hospital said he must return with a cardboard box in order to remove garments belonging to him. When he came back to the hos ptal the sister packed his clothes for him. Towards evening the nun was found to be missing and 1t appears the 1 cardboard box contained women'ss cloth

THE NEGRO SITUA-
TION GENERALLY

Five hundred Negro seamen are
stranded in Cardiff, Wales. Strik-
ing white seamen, receiving an in
crease in their wages, returned to
work. The ship owners preferred
the white men.
This is quite an unusual happen
ing, and, of course, very unfortun-
ate for those colored men who find
themselves far away from home
and without any prospects. we
recite the matter more as a warn
ing than as news. We are very
much given to thinking that we
inhabit the most inhospitable of
all lands, having in mind the great
er countries.
Wales is simply farther England
the country where there is sup
posed to be unquestionable equal
ity between man and man. And
without doubt there is not that
hostility noted SO often in our own
country. The germs, however, are
there, and only need development.
Nor do we mean to say that the
condition is peculiar there. Black
and white races are not en- rapport
in any part of the world, and SEEM
ingly by the very nature of things
will never be, unless the near fu-
ture generations submit to a COM
plete revolution.
The recent Universal Races
Congress in London, England, was
brought about because of the fact
that the races were two far apart,
the divergence being based more
on color than any thing else. In
spite of education and refinement
the colored races will not be ac-
cepted at par. II may be believed
that those very things, education
and refinement, set up extra feel
ing of opposition in that they are
often viewed as misplaced. Re-
