STEPMOTHER'S AWFUL DEED.
Two Little Ones Are Dead, Two Oth

Woman Is on the Verge of Death.
Minneapolis, Nov. 5. Mrs. James
with her husband last evening and af
ter he had gone to work attempted to
kill his four children and herself. She
shot and killed two of the children and
wounded the other two so that neither
"•ne of them is expected to recover.
She turned the revolver on herself and
received a bullet in the left breast
which, it is believed, will result in
death.
Mrs. Brennan is the second wife of
Mr. Brennan and is the stepmother of
the children. She and her husband
have frequently had trouble about the
children. They quarreled last night
befoi he left the house to go on duty
as a member of the salvage corps, but
he had no intimation that his wife in
i tended to harm his children.
The Brennans live on the second
floor of the house at
500
Knox avenue.
The members of the family living on
the first floor heard no disturbance
during the evening nor anything to in
dicate that the stepmother had quar
reled with the children. It is supposed
that she made no attempt to carry out
her plan until they were asleep.
The members of the family living on
the first floor of the house heard a
noise up stairs at 1:30 this morning.
A few moments later there were sev
eral pistol shots and a general com
motion. They went up stairs to in
vestigate.
Lizzie, the fifteen-year-old daughter,
was found to be dead. She was shot
through the temple aind apparently had
died instantly.
Alice, eight years old, was found
unconscious with a bullet wound back
of her right ear. She was alive and
lived until after the police arrived.
The boys, Thomas, thirteen years
old, and Arthur, seven years old, ap
parently had made a desperate strug
gle to avoid the fate of their sisters,
and in the strife had escaped the dead
ly aim which caused the death of the
girls. Thomas was unconscious with
a wound in his cheek and Arthur lay
unconscious with a bullet in the base
of his brain.
The mother was found on the floor
unconscious and bleeding from a
wound in her left breast.
The police and father were sum
moned by the neighbors. The two boys
and their stepmother were removed to
the city hospital, where it was stated
that all three probably will die.
MILLIONS IN COURT EDICT.
Railways Lose in Ad Valorem Assess
ment Suit in Wisconsin Tribunal.
Malison, Wis., Nov. 7.—The State of
Wisconsin will be enriched many thou
sands of dollars if a decision rendered
by Judge S. D. Hastings of Green Bay
is upheld by the higher courts. In a
suit brought by the various railroads
of the state seeking to set aside ad
valorem tax assessments on the
ground that the law violated the prin
ciple of equal taxation, Judge Hast
ings ruled that the law is constitution
al and the assessments valid. It is
estimated that the decision will in
crease by $600,000 railroad taxes for
the year 1903, a still greater sum for
1904, and at least a million more for
1905, compared with the amount as
sessed under the license fee system.

the president by an invitation fr tfMarh
informally at the White House, I'mice
Louis of Battenberg, kept hte special
train waiting three-quarters ul an
hour yesterday afternoon whJto the
president engaged him in a l®n.^ per

luncheon was not on the program
and was an entirely personal compli

of the first president.
At Washington's Tomb.
As they came to the tomb eafli per
son bared his head, while Princr
Louis went up to the sepulchre and
reverently stood in silence for a few
moments. It was a simple but im
pressive tribute the distinguished
Britisher paid. Upon leaving Mount
Vernon the prince was presented with
an ivy plant, a sprout from the plant
which grows about the tomb of Wash
ington.
"I shall treasure this and takse tt.
my home in England," the prince said,
"as a souvenir of this lnterestim
morning."
Later. Prince Louis, accompanied by
his nephew. Prince Alexander, went
to the White House, where they were
personal guests of the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt
At an informal Luncheon.
Nothing has pleased the two dis
tinguished visitors more since their
arrival in this country than V.ke t\vr»
hours and a half they spent with th»
[.resident and his family yesterdu
afternoon. The president is sending
to the king a return personal mc.Ksage
by Admiral Prince Louis, which wili
be delivered when the priuee ne\t
visits London. Before his departure
for Annapolis Prince Louis said to tin
correspondent of the London Morning
Post:
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my too
briei' visit to Washington. I apprei-i

"I had long looked forward te know

enough to give me that opportunity at

"This is the first time, I beMeve.
that a British admiral has been re
ceived by the president at Washing
ton. Now, I should like to see an
American president received by the
lung in London. Such a meeting would
be peculiarly appropriate, as both the
king and President Roosevelt hav«
rendered such distinguished services
to the cause of the world's peaoe. I
am sure nothing would give greater
pleasure to the British people tliaji to
welcome the president of the Ameri
can republic on British soil."
Forty-two British officers who have
been the guests of the American navy
for several days at the Arlington ho
