correspondent under data of September
2: Another pilgrimage from acrosa tiia
Atlantic, thia lima from Canada, ha ar
rived In Rome, and waa received thia
morning by the Pontiff with great cere
mony and graciousne. They came to
Koine last Thursday from Lourde. w here
they were during the national pilgrim
age. Aa they steamed into the famou
town o( Hernadolte their American col
league were jiift leaving. In an inter
view with M. Rivet, the director of the
pilgrimage, he informed me that, al
though some of the party started out
with rather vague Idea of !ordee, they
were all enthusiastically devout and de
lighted while there, ami It was with great
difficulty that they went away, even
with the propect lie fore them ol being
received by the Holy Father. The first
day of their Slav ten miracle were reg
istered at the bureau, ami their faith
waa strengthened lo exultation by the
complete restoration to health of one of
their irty. Mr. KiiPue, Ihe wile of a
physician of Montreal, suffering from
tumor, took thia pilgrimage as a last re
sort, having been given up by the doc
tors In Canada. It was against then
advice, and even in I'aria no one could
relieve her in any way, and she was told
that, if ahe look such a journey, it was
at tlie rii-k of her life. Shu persisted,
. . . . I ,'.!.. I .1. ...l
being strong in neriaiui , aim, iuuuku
much exhausted on arriving, a few days
later she re-enilarke. lor I arts, rauiaiu
with health, perfectly cured ami devout
ly thankful to "Our I-adyof l-oordes."
the reception at the Vatican was much
like that accorded last month to the
American pilgrims, the Pope seeming to
have a sjieciaT love (or hi children across
the water. He murmured from tune to
time: "Oh I ce eont nies Canadiens.
Oh! ipie je snis content." M. Rivet
presented the Holy Father with fl',500
lor Peter'a pence, and w as elected a mem
ber of the order of Advocates of St. Pe
ter. They left to-tlay via Florence, Ven
ice ami Geneva to tail for Canada Irom

rautlljr Connection.
Poutiand, Or., September 17. It wa
al-out 1 .M o'clock yeaterday afternoon
when John W. Stengele, a well-known
young civil engineer, ahot and killed
Mr. Mabel Calvin of Worcester, Masa.,
who haa been visiting with relativea
here, ami then, placing the deadly re
volver to hia own head, blew out hi
brain. Tha tragedy occurred on the
(idewalk on the south aide of Yamhill
treet alaint 100 feet west of Thirteenth
itreet. Three shots were fired in quick
m-cession, ami the man and woman fell
sitle by able on the pavement. Stengels
died instantly, ami hia victim gave only
one or two gasps after the arrival of sev
eral bystander w ho witnessed the shoot
ing. Unrequited love prompted the
double crime.
The news of the terrible affair created
intense interest, owing to the splendid
family connections of both the dead and
also their large circle of acquaintances
throughout the city. Mr. Calvin was
a daughter of S. Forehand, President
and principal owner of the Forehand
Arm Company of Worcester, Mass., who
is repute-. I to be worth several million
dollars. She came here about eighteen
months ago for the purpose of securing a
divorce from her husband, and bail been
making her home with her relativea Mr.
ami Mrs. Jewett, at 472 Yamhill street.
Stengele had been in Oregon five year,
ami for some time waa employed at hi
profession of civil engineering. More
recently be had lieen working for the
city as receiving clerk in the work of con
structing the new water works. He had
exemplary habits, ami waa well thought
of by a host of acquaintances, and hail
friends all over the State, w ho will think
it incredible that he would commit so
foul a crime. Ilia mother ia quite
wealthy, and lives in Chicago.
This letter explains that tlie snooting
was premeditated. It is aa follows :

"It is almost impossible for me to

I am about to do perfectly, and I cannot
for the life of me check myself. This
desire to kill her and then myself came
over me a few day ago. I cannot live
any longer. Rest wishes. Jack,"
Mrs. Calvin waa a strikingly hand
some woman. She had a particularly
graceful carriage and a sweet face, but
her most striking mark of beauty was
her clear, healthy complexion. She hail
dark eye and hair, ami was nf medium
height ami buxom figure. Her father
supplied her with sufficient mean to
satii-fy every whim, anil although she
had an extensivo wardrolie of the latest

month during the past summer season
at the seaM.le, and is well remembered
by many who met her there.
