1123 Pacific Avenue.
TACOMA, May M.—The usual Sabbath
quiet was broken today by a terrible trag
edy. In which a supposedly Jealous hus
band shot and hilled his wife and then
sent a leaden missie crashing through his
own brain, all in Lb* presence of his wife's
mother and sister.
The perpetrator of this awful deed was
John A. McCarthy, a well-known train
man of the Kortbw«et, who had held re
sponsible positions in this city, Seattle
snd Spokane, and had worked ss brak»-
man in California snd Montana. The
snooting occurred at a time when people
were returning to their howa from Dl»
vine worship, and when it is naturslly
supposed that human beings are at peare
with each other and the world in general.
No one aeems to kno*' the causes that
led to the termination of these two young
Uvea, other than that they had not been
living together for some time, as a letter
written by the wife, shortly before leav
ing her siater'a hom- for church, showed.
The dead man's friends and former asso
ciates In this city did not even know that
he was in the city until they heard of the
shooting, and then they were more horri
fied than words ran express, as they had
alwaya considered "Mar." as they called
him. a peaceable, honorable fellow.
"It la hard to believe it even now." said
• railroad man. as be stood in the pres
ence of death at the morgue during the
evening. "It is so unlike Mac to do such
a terrible thing,"
Mrs. MuCartfey, who was a rather come
ly blond* of about 30 years, in company
with her mother. Mrs. M< At«»e. and her
•ifter, Mrs. MeDougall had been In at
tendance at St. Leo's Catholic church and
was returning to the McDougall home,
which la ou the corner of Eleventh and E
streets. As they turned Into Eleventh
street from Pacific avenue they were
Joined by McCarthy, whose presence was
evidently a great surprise to them. He
Is said to have shaken hands with his wife
and the other ladles in a friendly manner
and Joinnd them tn their walk toward
their home. From all that can be learned
the con\ersatl»n seemed to be a pleasant
one. as the ladles laughed several times
at some remark that had been made.
As they neared their destination, some
one In the party remarked to Mrs. McCar
thy that ahe had CvMently burned her
r.cck alightiy with the curling iron. These
words had! no sooner been uttered than
McCarthy whim** I out a revolver from his
pocket and fired at his wife, the ball en
tering her bend on the right side, about
half an Inch from the outer comer of the
•ye. With a groan she *ank to the side
walk. 6«dng that he had performed his
fiendish work. McCarthy turin*l the gun
on himsrtf ami fired. lie was either ner
vous or did not take good aim. as the bul
let glanced along hie scalp And knocked off
his hat. the gun falitng from his hand. He
lost no time In recovering It. and placing
the barrel Kmnediittely behind the right
ear, pulled the trigger, the bail (•.using
inward and upward, cumlng out well up
on the left ternpie.

TACOMA. May M.-Eddie Dixon, the
fl«-et-footed sprinter who runs under tha
colors of the Puget Sound university and
Tacoma Athletic Clubs. Is the Hon of the
hour in athletic circles, his world s cham
pion amateur mark of & 2-13 seconds for
fifty yards, gained at the Intercollegiate
games at Seattle yesterday, endearing him
more than ever to ths hearts of svery
man In the city at all Interested In ama
teur athletics. Dixon has always been a.
favorite athlete, his modest, unassuming
manner and willingness to do all in his,
power to bring glory to his college o.- club
making him a valued member outside of
hi* ability to get over the path In record
time. lie is a hard, conscientious worker
while training for a meet, and always
steps onto the field In condition to
for a man's life, to use a hackneyed ex-"
preasion. His splendid performance Bat-«
urday has caused great Joy about the
T. A. C., as he will sport the red and
white in the sprints at the Y. M. C. A.
games in Seattle May 0.
Out*id«- of the natural pride taken in •
memVr who ha* negotiated a distance In
as fast time a* any amateur runner In the
country, Dixon's honors as a hero of Sat
urday's rame* are shared by Gould, of
Whttworth college, who will also rotnpete
in the Y M. C. A. games May ». under
the T. A. C. colors. From accounts of
Saturday's meet Gould was the all-round
star of the day. winning the running high
Jump, standing high Jump, 12U-yard
hurdle, running long Jump and shot put.
In e*i-h event breaking records. This will
mike him a great favorite when he toes,
the scratch at the games on the 2&th,
Pearson, who also showed up welL will
wear the red and white at the I. M. C. {
A. gamfS. {
With these three and other members of
the club who have performed well in the
past, the club considers Its chances very '
rosy for winning first place at the meet j
mentioned.
The Tacoma Rod and Gun Club won the
match for the state challenge cup today,
defeating the Seattle shooters by sixteen
birds. The match took place at the Kod •
and Gun Club's grounds at the head of the
bay, and was witnessed by quite a large
crowd. The conditions could not be im- ,
proved upon, the wind and light favoring ,
the shooters all through. Up to the firt»t ,
thirty birds the match was as pretty as
one would care to see, the visiting shoot
ers, leading by one bird. They could not
stand the strain, however, and, in the
parlance of the racy, threw up their tails
and finished back in the ruck. On the
other hand, the local experts kept knock
ing down their birds with wonderful regu
larity. especially Pcarce, Young and
Sheard. Stevens and Ellis, of the Seattle ,
team, did not shoot up to their average,
they seemingly having trouble with the
manner tn which two of the traps threw
out the birds.
This match was mad® about si* weeks
ago, but ha* hung fire from Sunday to
Sunday, until today. Thla the Seattle men
claim, was a handicap to them as two of
their cJub'a beet shot*. Miner and Wall
ingford, left for Alaska during the Inter
val between the time the challenge was
Issued and until the match was pulled off.
However true thla may be. the fact re
main* that they wera defeated, and that
fairly aiAl honestly.
The match was for 50 bird*, unknown
angles and traps, the members of the
teams and their score* "being:

PORT TOWNBBND, May 16.—Tomorrow
is the Fourth of July for natives of Nor
way and Sweden, and many will appro
priately observe the day as the anniver
sary of the declaration of independence
which was 'May 17, I*l4. The Norwegian
and Swedish consulate of this port, at the
request of the newspapers ha* issued a
brief historical synopsis of the event aa
follows:
"For more than four centuries prior to
1814 that country had been a province
of Denmark. Centuries of misrule left
her people ignorant, and a plague call
ed the black death, which broke out in
1345, ravaged the country and destroyed
two-thirds of its inhabitants. It raged
for more than two years, and the coun
try fell into a decay from which It did
not recover until 1536, but it was not
until the early years of the recent cen
tury that a brighter day began to dawn.
Frederic VI. founded the university of
Christiana in 1811. and from that time
a system of education among the people
prevailed, preparing them gradually for
self government.
"The old love of liberty which had been
asleep in the Norwegian heart since the
year 1236 sprung to life again, a conven
tion composed of delegates from all parts
of Norway met at Eidm-old. and on the
17th day of May. 1814. adopted a constitu
tion framed upon the principles of that
of the United States and France. A
short time after a conference being held
by representative# from Norway and
Sweden, a treaty was agreed upon on
condition that the constitution adopted
May 17 should remain in force. This was
followed by a national assembly com
posed of delegates from Norway and
Sweden, held at Christiana. November 4,
1814. This assembly declared Norway to
be an Independent and Indivisible king
dom. united with Sweden under one
king."

Fifteen Thousand People Look On
While the Heme Team and the
W'ashlagtoas. With Their Intplre.
Are Placed In Charge of the Offi
cers—The Tensas Play Only One
I* nine.
CLEVELAND, May l*.-The police
made gtxid their promise to prevent Sun
day bail in Cleveland if an attempt was
made to play today. At the end of the
first inniny between the Cleveland and
Washington teams, all the players on both
sides and Umpire Tim Hurst wera arrest
ed and taken to the central police sta
tion. four miles distant, where President
Robinson gave hall for the prisoners and
they were released.
The game had been extensively adver
tised. and In consequence there was a big
attendance. Ail the railroads ran excur
sions. and a larg<j number of enthusiasts
■frcs4 surrounding towns arrived in the city
during the lorenooa. Soon after noon the
cars running to the ball grounds began to
be crowded. Long before the hour for the
game to begin the grounds were crowded.
The turnstile showed that 15,000 people had
passed the gates. It was impossible to ad
mit any more without letting them on the
Held, and the gate* were closed. Still at
least 5,000 persons clamored for admission.
At a conference this morning a pro
gramme had been arranged by the police
and President Robinson, of the Cleveland
club. Accordingly, when one Inning of
the game had been played. Police Capt.
Kngilsh and Prf*4dent Robinson walked
on the field. Tfce captains orf the two
teams called their men. Robinson told
them to get into their omnibuses and go
to the station.
At the rtrst sight of the police some of
Che ipertators hissed and yelled "put them
out," but very few understood what was
happening. Most of the spectators re
mained in their teats. thinking the players
would return and the game be resumed.
At last it becameapparent that the game
had been declared off. and about half of
those present availed themselves of the
opportunity to get their money back, the
others being content to retain the coupons
entitling them to see the game tomorrow
or the next day.
The players took their arrest good na
turedly. The busses, one In charge of Cap
tatn English and the other with Deputy
Superintendent Bates In charge, were
driven rapidly to the central station, where
the players and umpire were docketed.
President Robinson promptly gave ball In
the sum of SIOO for each player. They were
then released and went to their hotels.
The members of the teams taken Into
custody were: Burkett, McKean, Socka
lexis, Tebeau. Powell, Wallace, Blake,
Zlmwier and Wilson of the Cleveland* and
Brown. Sol bach. Demontrevllle, Farrell,
O'Brien, Cartw/ifht, Abbey, German and

It is probable their cases will be called

WASHINGTON. May 16.—Elrerton R.
Chapman, of New York., the recalcitrant
sugar uwt investigation witness. arrived
in the city tonight. Tomorrow afternoon
Mr. Chapman will surrender himself to
Marshal Wilson, of this district, under
whose direction he will be taken to Jail to
serve out his sentem e. The actual amount
of time he will be required to remain in
jail will t>j twenty-live days, a* the law
provides for a remission of tive days in
case of good behavior.
In an Interview Mr. Chapman expressed
himself a* follows:
"There is nothing more to be said about
the case than ha* already been made p-ib
lic. Believing v.e were right, We took the
case to the highest court, and now that
we are beaten, I am disposed to accept
the situation in a philosophical way. 1 ex
pect to serve out the twenty-live day* of
my sentence."
Mr. Chapman added that so far as he
knew there had been no s»K*:ial arrange
ments made for furnishing the cell he is
to occupy nor the meat* he is to ea.t. The.-e
matters wMI be attonded to tomorrow.
Henry O. Havameyer, president, and J.
S. Seurles, secretary, respectively, of the
sugar trust, also reached here tonight. The
trials of their case* are set for tomorrow.
With them was John E. Parsons, Mr.
Havemeyor * attorney, and ex-Senator Ed
munds.
There was a consultation during the
evening of the attorneys, which included
Nathaniel Wilson, the Washington attor
ney of the trust, and Judge Dittenhofer.
The probability is that an attempt will
be made when the cases are called to se
cure a postponement for a time on the
ground that counsel are not ready to
proceed. District Attorney Davis is anx
ious, however, to push the trial, and con
siderable doubt is felt whether lie will
consent to delay except for a few days.
There was a rumor tonight that Messrs,
Havemeyer and Searles had decided to
plead guilty to the charge of refusing to
answer questions propounded by the sen
ate committee, and would raise the issue
that the questions were such as the com
mittee had no right to ask.
It was impossible to obtain any Infor
mation on the subject, however, as the at
torneys declined to discuss the matter.

Mother Mary of the Nativity Williams,
superior, founder of the House of the
Good Shepherd of this city, died at Port
land Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock fr«>m
heart failure. Her remains arrived last
evening and the funeral services will be
held some time tomorrow.
Her death was a great surprise to the
sisters of the House of the Good Shep
herd and her many friends in Seattle, St.
Paul and Chicago.
She had been the victim of a tumor for
some time, and came to the conclusion
that an operation would extend her life
and enable her to do more work In her
chosen cause. Last Monday she went
to Portland, accompanied by Sister Mary
of the St. Rose. She was cheerful and
had no fear that the operation would
prove otherwise than a success. Upon
reaching Portland she went to Providence
hospital, where the tumor was removed
Thursday. Contrary to her expectations,
she did not rally and at 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon passed away. Her death was
without pain and she wus conscious to
the last. In the face of the inevitable
she was bruve, and wh« n the last moment
came she passed from this life to that be
yond with the words of a prayer upon her
lips.
Mother Superior Wliffame was one of
Nature's noble women, and It will not be
an easy matter to fill her place at the in
stitution, w here she was beloved an.l hon
ored. Before ent ring the order of the
llouee of the Good Sfaepfrerd her nwme
w.is Johanna Williams. She wiu born 51
years ago in County Kerry, Ireland, and
when 1 year old was bro-ught to this coun
try by her parents. The fjurtily lived for a
time in Buffalo, N. Y. Then they went to
Canada and finally wttlel in Chicago.
In Johanna Williams entered the or
der of the Hoiwc of the Shepherd in
Chicago, remaining there 28 year*. A
greater part of that time she w.i* the as
sistant superior.

the Nativity William* was the proper per
son to take charge of the Seattle hou.«e>.
and in that capacity «b»* became. Mother
Mary of th*- Nativity William*.
She arrived in Seattle July 2 9. ISBO, ac
companied by the following steters: bit

Presentation Sister Mary of St. Adele and
Sister St. Stanislaus. .All of thes» are : till

St. Adele, who wsis called to St. Paul.
