Porter, a negro strongly suspected of the crime, waa shot to death by two police sergeants while attempting to escape. He had been run down at a point about five milea from Shreve port. The discovery of the crime waa made at 5:30 o'clock this morning by the ser vant, who entered the bedroom of Mrs. Matthews. The unfortunate woman, who was hacked almost to pieces, had been dead for some time. Her little daughter was still alive when the ser vant entered. Entrance was effected through a aide window and although there were fifteen persons in the house, which is situated in the very heart or the residence portion of Shreveport, no one heard a single suspicious sound during the night. The skull of Mrs. Matthews was crushed and the indica tions are that she had been criminally assaulted. The child's skull was frac tured, her chest crushed and ahoulder lacerated. . Mrs. Matthewa wore a diamond ring and diamond ear-rings, which were not touched by the murderer. Three pocket books containing money were also left in the room. An axe covered with blood and hair was found in the kitchen. ...... Bloodhounds took up the trail, but lost it after going a abort distance.

What might have been a serious accident In Keith's 11th street theatre was averted to night by the prompt action of a fire man. The blowing out of a fuse in the motor operating a moving picture machine caused sparks to ignite the celluloid films. The machine box and the drapery covering it were set ablaze. Cries of "fire" were raised and a panic In the theatre seemed Imminent, when a fireman, regularly stationed in the building, ran from behind the scenes through an underground pas sage to the front of the house. Then he ascended rapidly to the balcony and after calling to the people to keep their seats, turned a hose on the blazing box and drapery and extin guished the fire. The action arrested the attention of those who had begun what seemed a panic stricken rush to the exits. When the fireman an nounced the danger was passed, the performance waa resumed, all bnt about two hundred persons re maining in or returning to their teats. HYMEUA CREVASSE.

Packers were hastily filling trunks and taking down the picturea of ; founders and other valuables, some of which will be shipped to the United 8tates. Dr. Zahm spoke more in terms of pity than bitterness. He said this and other academies represented the life work of those who bad been or dered to disband.

The Reliance Took Its Isitlal Pin ore lato tbe Water Christened by Miss Nora Isella-Thoasaads of Spectators. By Telegraph to tne Moraine Btar Bristol, B. L, April 1L With an American eagle at her bow the cup de fender Reliance was launched at the Herreshorf works just before sun down to-day. Five hundred persona stood beside the glistening under body of the yacht when, at 8 :Sl this after noon. Miss Nora Iselin, daughter of C. Oliver Iselin, the managing owner of the boat, broke with tbe sturdy blow f a silver hammer the tradi tional bottle of champagne, saying at the same time: "1 christen .thee, re liance, and may God bless thee." Three thousand persons in steam yachts, row boats, on the two piers and on the street behind tbe shops, erected the initial plunge of the Reli ance with lusty cheers, while a busier on a torpedo boat played the "Star 8pangled Banner." Among the yachts anchored off the worka was the Constitution, the un successful candidate for cup honors two years ago and this year destined to be one of the keenest rivals against the Reliance. The Constitution was gaily bedecked with flags, and as the Reliance lay for a few minutes along side her elder sister, some comparison of the lines of the tiro boats could be made. It was then seen that the bow of the Reliance turna out of the water more sharply, that her , stern is lower and natter and that she haa a trifle less free board. The new boat, however, was soon hauled back into the dock where ahe will be rigged. It la expected that: ahe will have her trial spin In about ten days and after that ahe will bave a thorough trying out meeting both the Constitu tion and tbe Columbia in a series of thirty-five races in Long Island sound off Sandy Hook and at Newport Should she prove superior to her two rivals, she will meet Shamrock III in tbe first of tbe cup races on August 21st.
