OF the people of Emporia township were in favor

A Shooting Tragedy.

BOsTON, OCT. 30.-ThiS afternoon, j. G..
Hernandez, Spanish pedder of fancy goods,
fired two pistol shots at Miss Fanny May,
who had been employed as his book keeper,
and then discharged third shot into his own
body. Miss May was slightly wounded, and
Hernandez, it is supposed, MORALLY. He has
a vile and three children The supposed
cause of the tragedy is unrequitted and jealous
attachment toward Miss May, who is re-
spectacle and handsome young woman.
Miss May states that Mr.. Hernandez was
DESTROYS that she .hould continue in his en-
ploy, which for good reasons OF her own prob
ably, she declined. He was quite pertnaclous
but finally made an appointment to meet her
this forenoon at the store OF her brother'ln-
law, a member OF the boot snd shoe firm on
Hanover street, when she was to furnish him
with a copy of the account between them.
They met at this store according to APP.
pointment, and after IL little figuring Miss
May handed to Mr. Hernandez the account.
Up to this time nothing unusual had been
noticed in his appearance, but on receiving the
account he suddenly drew pistol, a six bar
relied revolver, and aiming at Miss Mays
head, fired it, The screams Of The woman and
the discharge OF the pistol were heard in the
adj Joining store, kept by MesSrs. Wilson, Fair
banks & Co.. and Mr.. Wilson at once went in
to ascertain the trouble.
Miss May, who was sitting in a chair when.
Hernandez first fired, threw herself into the
arms of her brother-in law, MIR. G. II. Hail.
who had narrow escape, the ball from the
second discharge of the pistol passing over in
close proximity to his head AMI lodging in the
wall. 1t was at this moment that MIR. Wilson
came in, when Hernandez, finding that he had
filled in Ills attempt, suddenly turned the pis-
tol around, aiming at his abdomen, and fired,
