Another ball pierced his heart. Miss Stroup's body was lying a few feet away, face downward, and it part ly blocked the office door. Blood was flowing from a wound in her left side. Roes had seated himself in a large chair and apparently while talking to the girl had placed both hands in his trousers pockets. The girl wore long black kid gloves, but before doing the shooting had slipped both her hands from them and they hung loose from her bloody wrists. It is thought she walked over to the chair in which Ross was seated, and, shielding the cal ibre revolver with her dress, fired the first shot at his heart. Apparently he never moved, as the position of the body was natural when found. Wish ing to make sure of her work, the girl fired two more shots, one taking effect in the neck and the other entering the brain. Standing over her victim, she then shot herself through the heart. The revolver dropped from her hands and was found near her body. Miss Stroup was born in this county twenty-eight years ago. Both her parents are dead and she is survived by one sister and two brothers, who live at Coal Hill. Ross was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross and was thir-ty-flve years of age. He was employed in the postofflce here. He was a vet eran of the Knanish-American war and served in the Philippines with the reg ular army at its close. Miss Sampsell, the bride-elect, is prostrated to-night. Bradford, Pa., April 24. Miss Hala Belle Stroup, who went from Bradford to Oil City to-day and there killed Thaddeus Ross, conducted a dressmak ing establishment here. For a week she had been ill. On Tuesday a letter was received by her from Ross an nouncing his coming marriage with a young woman. She arose this morning from her bed of sickness, and, despite the advice of her friends, went to Oil City. It Is claimed, that Ross had promised to marry her, the wedding day set for some time in July next. Miss Stroup was not an attache of a hospital, as reported. FIRE AT NAVY YARD.

Conscious to the end and hoping to round out a century of existence, William C. Phelps, who was the town's oldest resident, died at his home to-day, lacking five months of having lived 100 years.

Mr. Phelps was born in Colebrook in 1807 and was always in good health up to the past winter, when he suffered serious ill ness, from which he recovered sufflV clently, however, to go about as he had formerly. He had ft very retentive memory and often told of hearing the guns during the battle of Lake Erie, his parents having taken him with them on a trip across country In an ox team, t.he journey lasting nearly two months. He was able to read and write without spectacles. William Henry Harrison was the first presiden tial candidate voted for by him. Mr. Phelps was twice married and is sur vived by a son and daughter.

The Chicago ex press on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad which left this city for New York at 10:45 p. m. was wrecked to-night near Bennett station, on the West Penn. division of the Pennsylvania railroad shortly after 11 o'clock. Bennett sta tion is about ten miles east of here. The express crashed Into a Pennsyl vania railroad freight train. The passenger engine and the ca boose of the freight train were demol ished. A misunderstanding of signals, it a said, caused the wreck. The Pennsyl vania freight train was proceeding slow, east on the main track. The Baltimore & Ohio Chicago express fol lowed on the same track and overtook the freight about a mile east of Ben-ne-t station. The engineer an! fireman of the express seeing a collision was inevitable Jumped. Both the men land ed in Glrtys, run which . flows on the south side of the tracks. The caboose of the freight train which fortunately waa unoccupied was crushed to pieces. Before abandoning the train, how ever, the engineer applied the air brakes, causing the train to -come to a sudden stop. A majority of the pas. sengers in the Puljman sleepers were thrown from their berths sustaining bruises but none were seriously in Jure!. Had the express left the' rails and plunged into Girty's iRun many lives would have been lost. Taft With President Again.

Golovln, president of the lower house of parliament, are very reticent regarding the details of the audience he had with Emperor Nicho las yesterday, but it is learned that the discussion was.f rank and unreserv ed. The emperor spoke his mind free ly and showed himself to be well post ed on the transactions in parliament. He criticised M. Golovln's actions, questioning his impartiality In allow ing much more freedom to the radicals than to the conservatives, mentioning particularly several speeches of, M. Al exlnsky, social-democrat, which the emperor said should not have been per mitted. . M. Golovln, In his defense, pleaded his difficult position as head of a radi cal parliament at the present time. Various features of the ministerial programme were discussed, but there was no hint of a dissolution of parlia ment, and the difficulties between Pre mier Stolypln and the lower house were not mentioned. M. Golovln, previous to departing, alluded to the importance of direct re lations between the monarch and the head of the lower house of parliament, and said he hoped The emperor would receive him again. The emperor as sented, and explained that Ws delay in granting the president an audience was due to the pressure of affairs. ; In the opinion of M. Golovln the re actionary campaign against parliament has not made any headway with the emperor. t Many provincial governors have ar rived in St, Petersburg to support the movement of the reactionists In favor of a dissolution of parliament on the ground that the debates are causing dangerous agitation and ferment. This, it is alleged, Is especially noticeable in the provinces, where the agrarian dis orders of 1905- occurred. The panicky feeling among the lib erals in regard to the possibility of a dissolution of parliament has subsided owing to the cordial manner In which the emperor received President Golo vln.

Sherman Gardner sUceeded In captnr tng a magnificent specimen of the bald eagle in some timber near his home, three miles west of here. Gardner had gone to the timber to se cure firewood and spied the eagle, which was resting upon the topmust branch of a tree. With a small ril9 he succeeded In winging the bird and li fluttered to the ground. He approached It and endeavored to make it a priann er, but in spite of its wounded vying the bird put up a gallant "fight, sir.'k Insr Gardner with its uninjured pinion, and tearing his clothing and la;o:atir;ar his face and hands with Us sharp talons. Finally Gardner secured a iassi and succeeded in looping this aboui: ;he neck of the eagle and then wound the balance of the rope about its wings so as to render it helpless. He then took the bird home and dressed its injured wing. The eagle is one of the largest specimens ever seen in this vicinity, measuring more than seven feet from tip to tip. Fairview .-Jirespoiileni.e Duluth Herald. WILD GEESE ALARM A TOWN. One of those peculiar freaks of the elements that occur only at long inter vals took place last night, causing what many believed for a time was a shower of wild fowl. A steady snow storm prevailed during the day follow ed late at night by a heavy electrical storm. Amid the heavy downpour of rain there was a drop of twenty de grees in temperature and a large flock of wild geese driven to earth by the currents in the air and attracted by the lights of the city alighted in the streets or went hissing, quacking and cackling about as if bedlam had broken loose. Many of the residents who were sud denly awakened by the unearthly noise were driven almost to the. verge of panic and are no longer sceptical when they hear the story of the cackling of geese awakening the sleeping residents of Rome and saving the city. The wildfowl arc quietly swimming about the little ponds in the adjacent fields and on the bosom of the Juniata River this morning. Lewiston correspond ence Duluth Herald. THE CANADIAN CREED. It Prefers "Imperial Destiny" to "Pil grimages to Washington." Sir Wilfred Laurler strucfc a resound ing note In reiterating the creed which Canadians cherish as to the future de velopment of the British empire. "We have introduced tiie doctrine and policy of preference in Great Britain, and toward all the British empire, and this Is the policy by which we stand at the present time." Canadians extend an indifference which is wholly its due to the explosive unreason which thrust the great Issues of imperial destiny out of sight at the last general election. We may trace their Impressions of that infatuated outburst In" tho doubts which their premier sems to have en tertained as to the utility of participat ing at all in the imperial conference under its present aifspiees. What is the benefit, he may have asked him self, of exchanging hlghftown language with orators of the tpe of Mr. Bryce upon the unity and devotion of the race, when the only practical means of cementing that unity and buttressing that devotion Is ruled out of account by the unblinking prejudice of the British government and the British de mocracy? Radicals talk as if, in the enjoyment of free trade with this country, Cana dians received something of infinitely greater value that the preference they accord to our manufactures over those of other nations. But out free trade Is nothing hlgaer or holler than a free fight In which we graciously permit our colonists to partlcipnto with all the world; and their disgust at hearing it extolled as a valuable boon Is more than enough to account for the sardon ic undersong of Sir Wilfrid Laurler's allusions. Canada stands by preference "at the present time," but "we may well bethink ourselves that tiie present is ever changing into the past, and that an al ternative path Is always open to her if the road of her own choice is closed for too long by the barriers which now obstruct it. If Canada is once driven to the choice of reciprocity with the United States, she will have no need of "pilgrimages to Washington;" there will be, and already have been, "pil grimages" to'Ottawa, for the United States and indeed every commercial nation but ourselves Is well aware of the benefits, already great and soon to be greater, of ah Intimate connection with a country of such rapid develop ment and such boundless prospects. Canada, to parody the maladroit phrase of another episode, will soon have no need -to "seek alliances," but only to "grant" them, and there may be bitter reflections, hen that day comes, among those who rejected the advances ot so fair a suitor. Pall Mall Gazette. THE REAL JEFERSON. How Many of Those Who Call His Name Profess His Views? Speeches at. the Jefferson dny ban quets from different parts of the coun try strikingly illustrate the confusion which exists In the democratic mind. Put together they form a crazy quilt, or a remarkable kaleidoscope. Itvseems almost a pity to desecrate the work and belittle the reputation of the great Vir ginia statesman in this way. Jefferson was a man who did noble service for his country and people In his day, but the people are not the same and tie Is sues are not Identical to-day, and one must feel an amount of pathos in wit nessing the efforts of democratic poli ticians to fit his views to their vlrle gatcd Isms and policies. If a party must have a screen to hide behind, it would be well to seek some other than the author of the Declaration of Indepen dence. Jefferson docs not belong to any party; he Is the proud possession of the whole American people; and to give him the credit for this or that political quackery Is to spread a false Impression among the people and distinctly lower his reputation. The democratic party has been prating about Jefferson for years in fact, ever since it ceased to be a party of definite alms and consist ent principles. There appears to be Fire Proof Construction.
