Cleveland Man Slays Wife While She Sleeps, Then Attacks Offspring. CHILDREN TRY TO ESCAPE. All Three Are Captured ami Put to Death in the Dark Wi(h a Revolver. CRIME WAS PRECONCEIVED. Letter to Friend Gave First ews of TrajrcdY Povcrtv in the Presence of Christmas Thought to Have Been Cause. Cleveland, O.. Deo. 20. Roscoe vV. Der by, a machinist, about 45 v. ears old, exterminated his family early to-day by shooting his wife, his three children and then himself. The crime Is believed to have been due to his despondency over the impoverished condition of the family purso and the near npproach of Christmas. Tho crimes were extraordinary in their thoroughness and there was evidently no mishap In their enactment. The wife was killed first, while sleeping at her husband's sldo in bed: two of the children were killed as they ran hither and thither through the house m the darkness of tho early morning, endeavoring; to escape their merciless parent- The third child was kill! in lis bed after Its elder brother and sister had been slaln. L.ETTER IN MAIL REVEALED CRIME. Tits first knowledge of the crime was communicated in a letter written by Der by yesterday to a friend, who lived not far away, and which was sent him by special delivery. Tho letter wHS to th effect that when it had been received tha Derby family would bo dead. When the friend hurried to the house this moraine all that had been promised was seen to have been fulfilled. The dead are: Roscoe W. Derby; his wife. Delia; Har old, aged 8: Alice, aged 7. and Thoma-. aged 5. Derby had been downtown lata last night ostensibly shopping, but in all probability securing ammunition for his revolver. When he got home his wife and he talked with a neighbor, who had been calling, over the approachinB festival. Derby was pale and seemed nervous. Shortly after his arrival at home the nelghbpr-left and the Derby family went to bed. The crime. It Is believed, was commit ted about 4 o'clock this morning. Mrs Derby was shot to death In bed, two bul lets having been fired into her forehead, and a third, probably fired after the chil dren had been exterminated, in the back of the neck. KILLED 'WIFE WHILE SHE SLEPT. Mrs. Derby probably waa killed during sleep, the expression on her face showing no sign of a struggle, and it was calm and peaceful. Two of the children, however, had a struggle with their Infuriated parent, be cause they had been awakened by tho noise of the revolver and sought to es cape him, but without avail. Harold's body was found lying In a pool of blood in the kitchen, and that of Alice in the dining-room with her face to the floor and a. buUet in her breast. Harold may have been chased by his father, as there were evidences of a fight In the manner in which tho furnishings of the kitchen were thrown about. From the location of the bullet In his head, the boy evidently was caught by Ids father In a strong grasp and held while the weapon was placed against the little fellow's forehead and the bullet sent into his brain. There was no evidence of a struggle on Alice's part. The last of the children to die was Thomas, aged E. Ho had remained In bed. probably still asleep, and also received bullets In his head, dying ins tint !y. After the extraordinary crimes had been committed the perpetrator of them went into the bedroom, where his wife had been killed, and, lying down at her side, fired a bullet into his own brain. A number of poolroom race checks were found about the house, showing that Der by had been trying his luck on betting. COME KAIILY. !To Crowd Before lOiftO A. SI. Gold Spectacles for gifts Ji and up.

While the choir was singing, Isaac Rus sack advanced to the al'.ar and lighted the lamp, which is just above the ark. In all dedicated Hebrew temples the per petual lamp Is lighted, and, if p.icsltiV. ij never allowed to be extinguished.
