Of fashionable cookery, having by hard
knocks acquired considerable property,
took it into bis head to visit Boston, and
started accordingly with his best one horse
gig. Stopping near noon at one Of the
smart villages on the route, he put up
for time and ordered dinner. When
asked what he preferred, he mentioned
beef-steak, whereupon the landlord ia.
quired whether he would have it rare OF

assumed the air Of one who knew the

Rights ef Passengers,

The New York Railroad Company sued
d passenger for kicking the door Of the
hndmost car Of train open, after he had
endeayored in vain to get a seat in the Tor.
ward cars. The court ruled that the rail-
road company had no right to sell tickets
to more passengers than the train Of cars
would seat comfortably -that every passen-
ger was entitled to all the comforts and con.
Eveniences for which he bargained in pur-
chasing ticket, and that if the passengers
on a railroad cannot find a seat, they are
entitled to take fotclble possession, and
that the company is bound to afford sufli
cient accommodations, and ample time for
iagress and egress. The jury returned a
verdict Of sereniy..frc cents damages for the
plaintiffs.

Tragedy at Milville nj ass.

We have Already stated that an intea-
perate man named Alex. Hewitt, at Mil
vile, Mass, on Saturday evening last,
euarrelled with his wife, and soon after
followed her to the residence OF neigh
Dor Grin Brown, where he deliberately
shot both Of them. The Boston Traveller
says: i
When Hewitt reached Mr.. Browns
house. he demanded his wife, and MIR.
Brown went to window TO speak 10
him whereupon Hewitt drew revolver
and shot him him IN the head, the ball
passing into the forehead aud killing him
instantly. The wife, Mrs. Hewitt, was in
the room at the time and passed the win
dow in an attempt to fly from the house.
As she passed her husband fred at her, blu.
the ball missed its aim. Mrs. Hewitt then
a,temptedto escape by back boor, but just
as she reached the embankmcnt OF earth,
be came up and siezed her by the arm
He then held her at arms length with one
arm, drew his revolver and shot her twice,
one bali passing through her head and the
other lodging there. Hewitt then fled to
the woods and remained over night. On

came back TO the scene of murder, where
he was Immediately taken into custody by
the officers. He then stated to them tina
he was perfectly willing TO be taken. as hs
had swallowed dose Of strychnine anf
could not possibly live bu. few moments
He was shortly afterwards seized with con.
vulsions anI died ALMOST instaptaneously
He stated to the officers that fI1. uI,frJer nj
his wife was premeditated from motives, o.
jealousy, but not that of Mr.. Brown; thai
he went to Providence last week and pro-
cured the poison with which to kill him.
self after he had killed his wife. Mr.
Brown was remarkably quiet, peacable and
hard working man. and had just returned
from his weeks laber to spend the Sab
bath with his family. He leaves wife
and two boys one 10 and the other 1;
years ofage. Hewitt alsoleases four small
children. Mrs. IL. was still alive at las
accounts.
