A despatch from Redding, Conn, says: Bamuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) died painlessly at 6.30 o'clock Thursday night of an- gina pectoris. He lapsed into coma fai 3 o'clock in the afternoon. and never recovered consciousness. It was the end of a man outworn by grief and acute agony of body. Wednesday was a bad day for the little knot of anxious watchers at the bedside. For long hours "the grey, aquiline features lay moulded in the inertia of death, while the pulse sank lower and lower; but late at night the patient passed from Stupor into the first natural sleep he had known. since he re: turned - from = Bermuda, and on Thursday morning awoke refresh: ed, even faintly cheerful and in full possession of all his faculties. He MURDERER WILL GO FREE. Confesses to Killing Wife, But No Witnesses to Prove It. A despatch from Niagara Falls, Y., says: A peculiar. situation has developed here ms a result of the alleged confession that he mur- dered his wife here six years ago, made at Waukegan, Ill., on Sat- urday, by Foster Johnson, a Tus- carora Indian. Johnson says that he pushed hig wife into the rapids above the falls, It is claimed by lawyers that the confession he made carnot be used against Johnson in a trial, 'and it is impossible to get cerroborative evidence against him, as there were no witnesses." The e murder of my wife,"' Johnson said, to cominit, suicide; she asked me a nice gravestone, and 1 prom- I have me I'see her head in the river in and have hardly en: ved a peaceful night in all these recognized his : daughter, Carrie (Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitch), spoke'a rational word or two, and, feehng himself unequal for conversation, wrate out in pencil: Give me my glasses."' These were his last words. Laying aside his glasses and pencil, he sank first into rev- erie and later into final uncongei- onsness. - There was no thought ab the time, however, that the end was 80 near. Mark Twain died, as truly as it can be said of any man, of a bre- ken heart. The death of H. H. Rogers, a close friend, was a se- vere blow. The death of his daugh- ter, Jean, who was seized with an attack of epilepsy last fall while in her bath, was an added blow from which 'he never recovered. It was then that the stabbing: pains in the heart began. FARMER KILLS COMPANION. Suddenly Attacked N. A. Bolton With an Axe. A despatch from Cardinal says: While two men. were engaged in cutting up a pig on Thursday, Al- bers Holmes, a farmer, living about twe miles west of this place, sud- denly attacked N. A. Bolton with an axe, inflicting wounds on the top of the héad and behind the ear, killing him instantly. = It is skid that Holmes' mind was unhinged by the purchase of the farni from hig victim, believing he paid foo much for it. He took poison last week in an atteropt at suicide: The murderer escaped to the woods..He was met by a boy named George Perry, whoin he warned to keep away or he would kill him too! To tho boy he, also announced his in- tention of L going into the swamp to kill himself. He thereupon plunged ¢ the swamp of about 60 acres which lies behind his farm. Boltom, his victim, was a man of about 40 years. He loaves a widow 'and one
