Throngs of people stood in front of a neat two-story brick dwelling, 518 4th street north- east, all yesterday afternoon, talked in hushed tones and looked up ins sort of awe-stricken way at the second-story windows. In that room, stretched upon a bed, lay the bodies of & man and a woman, their clothing and the bedding being stained with their life blood. It Was a case of suicide. It might be called © double suicide, for though the fatal shots were fired by one hand, that of the man, there was evidence that the woman had con- ‘ated to die with him. The man was an artist, Fearnleigh L. Montague, and the woman his wife, Ernestine. In the room they vccu- pied while living, and which was the scene of the tragedy, were evidences of the fact that it Was an artist’shome. ‘Lables were strewn with Vials, lemons, glasses and other articles, mdi- gating that it was the home of an invalid.

The condition of Congressman Springer is improved this morning, and hope is once more revived in the bosom of his friends. The three physicians held a Jong consultation at 12 o'clock this forenoon, and at its conclusion Dr. John A. Vincent of Lilinois made the following statement: “Mr. Springer passed a favorable night, and his condition is very much im- proved this morning. His pulse and tempera- ture are reduced, and he manifests much less delirium than yesterday. His mind appears tobe clearing up and the periods of coma are lees frequent. He takes nourishment well today and another very good indication of improve- ment in that he is more seusitive to external impressions and sounds than he has been since his illness assumed a serious stage. For in- stance, he is sensitive to the noise of the street cars and the rolling of the carriages of callers as they come up to the door. Up to this time he Las, during bis whole iliness, been oblivious to these things. This shows that he is return- “ ing gradusily to @ normal condition.

His wife lay by his side, her feet, however, resting on the floor. Her dress was stained with blood. Between the two and be- neath Montague’s right hand, which had fallen to his side, was the revolver with which the bloody work bad. been done. ‘The revolver had been fired apparently first in the mouth of the woman aud then in the mouth of the man. There were marks of powder on the woman's face and her cheek had een lacerated by the explosion. Death, it was thought, had been almost instantaneous in both cases The manner in which the fatal shots were fired indicated that the method of the suicide ad been carefully thought out. The barrel of the revolver had been placed in the mouth, and this was what muMed the sound. ‘The bullets crashed through the brain. Mrs. Montague was neatly dressed in white. Mr. Montague was of English birth and fifty- seven years old. He had resided here off and on for about twelve years and was well known as an artist. His wite was but thirty-one years of age and most ladylike in appearance. The house where he roomed is the residence of Mr. F. L. Babendreier, « piano tuner. Mon- tague and his wife came there to lodge about four mouths ago, and during all that time Mr. Montague had been an invalid. He was despon- dent and talked sometimes of killing himself. HE TALKED OF'SUICIDE. " said Mr. Baben- dreier in giving an account of the tragic affair yesterday, “he had threatened his life, and I told him he must not telk that way. Once he told me of having put the pistol in his mouth, tempted to shoot himself. I told him he w: not dangerously ill and would recover. Hi wife seemed much devoted to him and waited upon him day and night. Today my sister-in- law helped Mrs. Montaguein fixing the roomand to place him in the window for a sun bath. He had been cleanlydressed by hie wife,and my sister said something about not placing him so near the window in his underclothes, as people could see him. She replied that she guessed a man that was going to die had a right to be dressed and look out. After my sister finished she went out and came down stairs. As soon as she did so my wife keard Mrs. Montague come and lock the door and draw the curtain. Hardly a minute passed, she says, betore the first shot was fired and then the second.” Dr. Kingsinan of Capitol Hill, who was called in to see Montague last ‘Tuesday, said he was afraid Montague would kill himself, as he had talked of it and talked of putting the pistol in his mouth. The doctor said Montague suffered with a complication of heart and stomach trouble, aud would probably not have recov- ered. ‘Dr. Kingsman said Montague’s wife said in the sick man's presence that she knew he would die, which of course was not calculated to cheer him. He wold her to cheer him up and take his pistol away and she had answered,‘“No,I would sooner buy new buuiets. 4don't eee any use of a man suifering that way when he can relieve him- selt.” Dr. Kingsman made a call at the house yesterday morning. “I talked with him,” he said, ‘and he seemed, cheerful and she followed me down siairs and asked me what I thought about him. I said she must not worry, be was doing nicely, but she must take moré rest, as she was getting sick from caring for him. ‘She waid ‘Yes,’ rather absently and went back. 1 waa not surprised to hear of the tragedy, and am satisfied it was a precon- ceived plan for him to kill her and then him- LETTERS LEFT BEHIND, In a box on the table in the room were found a number of letters. One that was sealed had been addressed by Montague to Senator Stockbridge. ‘There was an envelope also ad- dressed to Montague’s wife. It was addressed to her as “his darling wife” and dated Febru- ary 29, @ fact that made those who investi- gated the case believe that he contemplated committing suicide ou that day and bad writ- ten a letter of farewell to his wite. ‘There was found also a lady's gold watch and diamond ring, in an old English setting, the stone probably weighing three carats. Four dollars in bills, afew dollars in specie and a solid gold gentleman's watch chain were found elsewhere in the room, which were all of value discovered except some pictures of Montague's. It was thought that Montague was in strait- ened circumstances and this tact, together with his physical suffering, had produced the despondency that Jed to the tragedy. TO BE BURIED BY FRIENDS. . Coroner Patterson, after viewing the bodies yesterday, had them removed to Lee’s under- taking establishment to be prepared for burial. Coroner Patterson investigated the case and deemed an inquest unnecessary. He gave cer- tificates of death in accordance with the facts. This morning three gentlemen who knew Montugue arranged to detray the expenses of a respectable burial, which will be given the remains tomorrow afternoon in Rock Creek cemetery. Rev. Dr. Bartlett of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church will be asked to officiate. MONTAGUE’S PAINTINGS. So far as known Montague and his wife had no relatives in this country. They were mar- ried in Australia, where they met a dozen years ago. Mrs. Montague bad gone from England to Ausrtalia with her father when a little girl. Montague at- tracted considerable notice to himself as au artist here some years ago by producing some novel effects in landscapes, sketch in black aud white. Some of them were pur- chased by Robert G. Ingersoll aud others, For a time he seewed to prosper a8 an artivt. His recent works had been in color. ‘They were landscapes and some of them were, until a few days ago, exhibited through Senator McMil- , in the Senate District committee room. By Senator McMillan’'s advice Mrs. Mon- tague a few days ago took the pictures home. Montague placed @ high value on his own works. A card found among his effects refor- ring to the paintings shown at the Capitol gave therz values as follows: “Evening on Potomac,” 14x18, $2,000; “Fzazier’s River, B. C.," 12x16, $1,600; “Androscoggin, N. H.," 12x16, $1,500; “ Ruins, Cal,” 12x16, ‘5, louds and Sunshine, England,” 12x16, $1,500. THE MICHIGAN SENATORS. Senator McMillan knew but little of the ar- tist. About a year ago the Senator purchased a inting from him for the sum of $1,000. More than s month ago the Senator in re- sponse to a letter from Montagu placed on exhibition in the District committee room, as stated above, some of the artist's landscapes. To # Star reporter who made inquiry today as to the contents of the letter addressed b; Montague to him, Senator Stockbridge said it was simply an invitation to call and see two or three paintings which the artist desired to sell. Monutague’s letters were somewhat eccen- trically constructed. The artist's address would very frequently be written across one of the corners of the fat”, and = many of the words were either printed in ital or heavily underscored. Oceasioi 4 ‘asentence would be consider: xed = all together the letters would impress o8t uy one that the writer's mind was, to say the least of it, in @ peculiarly nervous condition. 4 FAREWELL TO KARTS.

Collision om # Siding Near Rockville Last Night, YRRIONT FIREMAN BUCKALEW AND BRAKEMAN TEETERS ROASTED TO DEATR—BURSTING OF AN INJECTOR CHECK THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER— THE CORONER'S JURY DECIDES ACCORDINGLY. Arailroad accident occurred last night on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio, a short distance from Rockville, result- ing in the death of two men—Fireman C. E. Buckalew and Brakeman J.H. Teeters of freight train 498 from Martinsburg bound for Wash- ington. ‘The accident or rather the collision took place at a point about one thousand yards from Rockville station, where the single track from Kensington runs into the double track to the west, ‘The Chicago limited left Washington at 8:15 p.m. and had the right of way. It was run- ning at therateof forty-five milesan hour when the freight train ran into it. Engineer G. B. Pamphrey of the freight had instructions to switch off at Rockville on the south track and allow the limited to pass. He had pulled on the switch and was slowing up when the injector check broke and filled his face with smoke, blinding him for a moment. It was an awful moment, for in that brief space of time the freight had run a few feet on the single (renee nd the Ymited coming at top speed struck it It was a fortunate collision, if such it may be called, for the tenders of the two engincs locked and held the passenger engine on the track. Had this not occurred the engine of the limited would have been thrown down the em- bankment and taken the ears along with proba- ble serious results. ROASTED TO DEATH. Whon the engineer uf the freight saw the danger he jumped and called to the fireman to follow. The latter, however, was caught in the jam and literally roasted to death. The brake- man slipped between the cars and was covered with burning coal and shared a like fate. It was nearly 9 o'clock when the accident oc- curred and before the church bell had tolled the hour hundreds of willing hands bed col- lected about the wrech. ‘A FRIGHTFUL SCENE. The scene was a frightful one. In the tender of the freight. standing erect between a con- glomerated mass of machinery, was the fire- man. The moon was shining brightly, and as it fell upon his face lit up a ghastly picture. One leg was crushed off and an arm was miss- ing. The face was cooked and big pieces of flesh hung down on his chest, while the hair was clotted with blood. It was past 2 o'clock before he was extricated. ‘The other body was found shortly afterwards, and, as it was brought to light, the crowd drew back “in disgust, “It was frightfully mangled and cooked. A couple of improvised stretchers were brought and the bouios transferred to the little telegraph office on the track, where Coroner Morgan summoned a jury to pass upon the case. ‘THE CORONER'S INQUEST. The first witness called was the engincer, G. B. Pumphrey of the freight. He testified to being on the south track waiting for the ex- press. His train passed Rockville station going at the rate of three miles an hour, and ashe slowed up the injector check’ blew off and the smoke from the escaping steam blinded him. He concluded to go torward and fix the check nd took his lantern with him. He heard the express blow at Halpin and thought his train had stopped, for he felt no motion. Looking up he saw the headlight of the express, and realizing his position jumped. ‘The freight was only a few feet on the main track and thé express struck it in a glancing manner. Conductor Henry Long and Enginer Oscar Peters of the express also testified, but their testimony threw no new light upon the acci- dent. AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. After considering for afew moments ® ver- dict was found to the effect that the men met their death by an unavoidable accident. The bodies were then removed to the undertakers and later sent to their homes. Fireman Buck- alew lived at Terra Alta and was unmarried; Brakenin Teeters lived with his wife and three children at Martinsburg. ‘The freight train wai made up of cars laden h coal, steel rails nd cattle. The car of rails was immediately in the rear of the cattle car, and when the crash came jammed through the latter and killed fourteen fine steers. When the car was cut open tive were alive and at the first opportunity made a dash for freedom and. scampered away through the fields, A DOUBLE TRACK NEEDED. One of them in conversation with a Sran reporter said: “I have beena resident of Ruck- ville for several years and am in mortal terror all the time. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company has spent more money in wrecks during the last few years than it would cost to double track the road all the way to the Wash- ington Junction. Now, if there had been a double track from Kensington here this acci- dent would not have bappeued.” BEE Tes Pro Ke Nata Meetings. The next meeting of Pro Ite Nata will be held at the home of Mrs. A. H. Thomas, No. 1410 Q street northwest. Mrs. Thomas will also lead the discussion, upon the subject for the day, “Woman's Influence in Municipal Reform.” She has not only been an indefatigable assist- ant in establishing Pro Re Nata, but a constant worker in practical philanthropy for the news- boys in Washington.

At the last meeting the debate was opened by Mrs. Leggett, who gave the society much valuable information upon the subject of “Our Merchant Marine.” Mrs. Lucia Slount, Mrs. H. T. Upton, Mrs. Carrie Perkins, Mrs. 8. E. Hibbert and others made eurnest speeches dep- recating our insiguificant position among other nations, in the work of building u merchant marino service, and the unjust di criminations that retard’ our progress toward commercial supremacy on the high seas were denounced with fervor. Most of the debaters criticised the government for its failure to re- deem its promises and pledges. ——— A Benefit for the Russian Famine Sufferers.

The new proprietor, Mr. W. E. Hughes, who is a hotel man of experience, gave to the W. H. Houghton Company of this city carte blanche to refurnish and refit thehouse. This has been done in an artistic manner, and the six stories of the hotel are as comfortable, attractive and cozy as art and moncy can make them. From tho office, which is supplied with inviting chairs and lounges upholstered in leather, through the dining room, which is marked by the har- mony in the colors of the rich hangings and furniture, to the parlor, where the decorator has ‘givgn another evidenze of his genius wFoughout all the — bed roo: the change is a —etriking and pleasing one. There is a new chet in the kitchen, whose skill is n experiment with Hughes, and there is a trained corps of as- tants. Aw the hotel is now practically s new establishment Mr. Hughes has concluded to change the name and hereafter it will be known as the Stratford. ‘The hotel is a first- class house, where popular prices prevail. Its location, at the northeast corner of 14th and H streets, is one of the most central in the city, and ite commanding position affords extended views from the windows which can be com- pared in beauty with the artistic interior. pobisaieortbensen FALLS CHURCH MATTERS, Eloquent Sermons by Bishop Walden—An- nouncement of Conference Appointments. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Faris Cavncu, Va, March 7, 1892. Bishop John M. Walden preached, pursuant to announcement, yesterday morning in the M.E. Chureb here to a crowded congregation. ‘The opening hymn commenced with the line “O for a thousand tongues to sing God's praise.” The bishop stated this was an anni- vorsary hymn and was composed by Charles Wesley just one year from his conversion to Christianity. The text of the sermon was in 1st Corinthians,second chapter, fourth and fifth verses. The bishop spoke of the wonderful ad- yancement of men in wisdom and intellectual force in the present age. Faith could not be based in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Recognizing the superior wisdom of the men of this age. and also the fact that man has a moral and spiritual nature, it does not necessarily follow that in his wisdom and great intellectuality that they can meet all the de- mands of man’s nature. ‘lhe end of the apostle’s preaching was that men just be saved) through power, the power of God. ‘The exercise ot thie power of pardoning depended upon the belief in Christ of the subject to be atiected. The President of this nation exer- cised the pardoning power by the authority veated in him by the nation. (The Preside the bishop incidentally remarked, was his classmate.) ‘Jt was more difficult to affect the moral and spiritual nature of man than it was his material and intellectual nature.” ‘The bishopsaid. *“I can conceive an instance ofa man Deing pardoned, and ye: being just as much of ‘ scoundrel afterward as he was before jt. Aud yet that pardon was efficacious still.” ‘There was preaching in the evening on the passages in the Acts relating to Sac! version in a general way, but moi ulerly on the puseage, viz, “Saal, Sa pereccutest thou Me’ “What shall I do, Lord?’ ‘The bishop took up the above text, also making extended remarks of great practical excellence, supplementing them with sugges- tions with reference to the action of the min- isters of Virginia conference for the ensuing year. He desired to have large accessions 0 the membership in all the charges in the con- ference territory. ‘The Methodist method for securing these was revivals. What was a re- vival? How many know what it is? He was converted in 1850, and by Mother Hunter, at the “‘mourner’s bench,” who came and kneeled beside him und prayed, “Lord, convict the sinner, convert the mourner, reclaim the back- slider and sanctify the believer.” ‘That was a revival. He urged upon the preachers to em- ploy faithfully the revival instrumentality; at Was peculiarly a Methodist one. He said further that some preachers had reported to him on other conference occasions the mem- Lers they had obtained from other denomina- tion churches with great apparent gratitica- tion. Hi aid he did not want such acces- sions, ‘The kingdom of Christ was not in- creased thereby, and ho did not want them. Increase your inembership by conversion from the world. If any one wanted to leave the Methodist church for some other ask God’ blessing on him and send him away. But if any one of hie own accord and for satisfactory reason came and asked admission then take him m. The announcement of the appoint- ments for next year followed the conclusion of these remarks Ly the bishop and the Virgiuia conference was dissolved. a ‘The list of appointments is as follows: Alexandria district—A.
