A ‘rATHrIrs rulers}. CRIME.
He Kills His ‘Vife and Child and Takes
His Own Life.
West Bucltsron, Ma, May 1,—Ncws
was: received here this morning of a
double murder and suicide at Bonny
Eagle, a small village two miles from
here. The bodies of 'John C. Lane, a.
resident of the village, his wife and in-
fant child were found in bed at their
home, bullets from a revolver having
ended the lives of all three. A letter
written by Lane, which was found in
the room, stated that he had decided
to kill his wife and infant child, but did
not state the reason.
This cannot at present he even sur-
mised, as Lane’s neighbors state that
he was a temperate, peaceable, man,
and the family lived in apparent hap-
piness together.
The bodies were found by a neighbor,
who. on failing to find the members of
the family about the house as “usual,
locked into the rooms and in the cham-
ber occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lane the
bodies were found. A bullet hole in
each body disclosed the manner of
death. \Lane was about 30 years of age,
his wife a year or two younger, and the
baby was a year old. .
Lane was'a nephew of John Lane,
formerly proprietor of the United States
hotel, Portland. ' By the death of the
latter the nephew became possessed of
some means. He owned a small farm
here, which he operated himself.
Word of the tragedy was at once sent
to Portland and Biddeford, and the cor-
oner who resides at Biddeford started
at once for the scene.

intimation is given at the White House
today that the Rev. Dr. Isaac S. Hop-
kins of Atlanta has been selected as

pan. Dr. Hopkins recently resigned the

copal church at Atlanta, one of the
largest churches in the south. At one

tumn, when he joined the Republican
party. He was a persistent and ener-
getic McKinley advocate.

Fearful Fate of Some of the Crew of
i the Wrecked Vaillant.
POUR SURVIVORS RESGUED.
Seventeen of Their Companions In the
Lifeboat Perished Before Succor Came.
A Blood Chilling Story of Aw;~
ful Sufl‘erings on the Sea. - i
St. John’s, N. R, May 3.—Another.
boat belonging to the wrecked French
brigantine Vaillant is accounted for,
though only 4 out of the 21 persons
aboard her lived to tell a tale of suffer-fl
ing and prolonged misery rarely equal-
ed in marine annals. ‘
These four men formed the remnant
of those in the Vaillant’s lifeboat, and
‘ when picked up by the fishing vessel
Amedee, they were at death’s door.
This was at midnight on April 20, and
they were landed at St. Pierre last
evening. '
The boat left the sinking ship with 21
persons, including the captain. His dog
was also taken in. There was no time
to procure food. water or cars. and the
lifeboat drifted about like a. leg.
Words fail to describe the sufferings
the unfortunates endured. First they'
crowded the boat so much that the seas
swept over her, deluging the wretched
men and necessitating copstant bailing. '
Then the cold was extreme and pierced
them through and through, few having
any clothing for all were in bed whgn .
the accident happened.
Died Raving Maniacs.
They tried to quench- their thirst by
sucking ice and chewing their leather
belts, but their vitality was speedily
lost, and after two days’ exposure their
exhausted frames could not support the
strain and man after man died. 0n the
third day four died, and six went over- .
board the next day. ‘
Three were added to the .total. the
fifth day and another four on the last
day. '
Some threw themselves into the wa-
ter. Others died raving maniacs. Oth-
ers, again, quietly expired.
The effect on the survivors was ap-
palling. They are still haunted by the
terror of those spectacles of death,
especially by the actions of the violent
men who sought to overturn the boat
and end the misery of all in one sudden
plunge into the ocean. - p
The dog was killed on the third day.
The captain cut it up into portions. A
part only of the flesh was eaten each
day. The hide was cut into strips for
them to masticate and so relieve their
hunger.
The captain died on the fourth day,
and his body, like those of the others.
was immediately committed to the
waves. .
Frozen Almost Solid.
The coats and hats of the dead, if
they had them, were used by the sur-
vivors, and as these grew fewer they
were able to keep fairly warm, but
when rescued they were in very bad
straits. They had eaten all their dog
rations. the night before'and lay amid
the ice in the bottom of the boat.
One of them discerned a light bear-
ing directly down on them, and they
had barely strength to shout as the
vessel passed within a foot of their
boat. She came within a hair’s breadth
of sinking them altogether.
The four survivors were almost solid
masses of ice when saved. The cloth-
ing had to be cut off them in' pieces,
taking the skin from their legs, which
were frostbitten right through almost
to the thighs. The four men will lose
their legs, and two will lose their hands
also.
Their suffering aboard ship as re-
turning strength drove the blood
through the injured members were not
less than those indured in the boat, and
they were in a shocking condition when
landed. They were only. partly con-
scious.
They tell their experiences with diffi-
culty, but declare that cannibalism was
not resorted to, as in the case of the
other survivors. They saw none of the
other boats. It is doubtful if any of
the whole party of eight survivors will
ever leave their beds.
