TRAGICAL EVENT In PARIS.

IRAulCAL EVEN lin fARIS.
The Journal des Debats Of October 4, con.
tains the following account of recent trage-
dy in Paris:
Yesterday, about nine o'clock in the eve
ming, the quarter of the Madeleine was thrown
into a state of excitement by the knowledge
of crime which had been just committed
there, and which has produced the most pain
full impression. Mr.. Bower, aged thirty hi
Yeas, an Englishman, and the Paris cores
poDdent of the Morning Advertiser, resided
with his wife and children in the Rue Ge SeZe,
No. 2. Some months since one of his coun-
trymen, MIR. Morton, aged about thirty five
years, correspondent OF the Daily News, and
who resided IN the neighboThood, on the
Boulevard des Capucines, 29, became intimate
with him and paid him frequent visits. Sub
sequently his assiduties having excited some
suspicious and jealousy in the mind of Mr..
Bower, the latter interdicted him from visiting
at his house in future. 1t would appear, how
ever, that a reconciliation took place between
them, and that Mr.. Morton continued his Wis
its. Unfortunately, circumstance OF par
ticular kind occurred to revive the suspicious
of Mr.. Bower. His wife, the mother of four
children, was confined about a month ago,
and the suffering she underwent was such as
to be frequently followed by intervals of men,
tai arrangement.
In the course of last evening, and during one
of her attacks, she told her husband that she
did not wish to see him again, that he was the
devil, that she did not love him, and had never
loved him, and she added that the child to which
she had lust given birth was the child of Mr..
Morton. This extraordinary disclosure pro-
duced terrible impression on Mr.. Bower yet
he restrained himself, and sat down about
O'Clock TO supper. Scarcely had he commen-
ced his repast when MIR. Morton entered. The
moment MIR. Bower saw hun he ordered him
instantly to quit and as Mr.. Morton did not
seem 10 obey as quickly as the other desired,
he got up from the table, holding his knife IN
his hand. and pursued him on The stairs TO the
floor beneath, wher, after an exchange OF some
words he struck hun a violent blow with the
knife on the left side of the head near the ear,
which stretched him without movement on the
floor, bs thed in his blood, which flowed 10 abun-
dance from the wound. Death was lnstahta
neous. The knife was afterwards picked up.
II isa table knife rounded at the end the blade
was ben, in the middle by the violence of the
blow.
The Commissarv Of Police of the section OF
the Madeleine, being informed 0! the crime, pro-
ceeded Immediately to the spot, and was soon
after ioined by the agents on duty, who search
cd bur unsuccessfully, the house, from ihe Gel
lar 10 the garret, TO discover the pefpetfator,
who escaped, no one knows'how.
