TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-4 Man Shoots
his Wye-4rrest, Trial and Commitment Of
the Murderer. About half-past 2 o'clock,
on Saturday afternoon, "a terrible TRACE
dy was enacted on Market street, in the
First Ward, by which Mrs. - Smith
was instantly killed, by being shot with
a gun in the hands other husband. JoLa
Smith.
From the evidence elected, ii appears
that Smith had been quarreling with his
wife for several days, and that Oh Satur-
day, while very much Intoxicated, he re-
newed the quarrel. After remaining in
the house for some time, Mrs. Smith
opened the door and ran ont. She had
not ran more than ten yards from the
house before her husband seized a gun,
and taking accurate aim, fired it at her.
The woman uttered a terrible shrek, fell
to the ground and died almost instantly.
Justice of the Peace, John Irwin was no
titled of the affair and summoned a jury.
Some eight or ten witnesses were exam
ined, and a verdict was rendered that the
deceased came to her death from gunshot
wounds inflicted by her husband.
Upon examination it was found that
the gun had been heavily charged with
shot. Five shot were lodged in the left
shoulder of the deceased, six in her head,
and a slug between the left eye and ear.
The deceased and her husband were
raised together i'll Germany, and it Is said
that when they were both quite young
his mother and her father died, and their
surviving parents were subsequently
married, thus bringing the two children
together in the same family. They lived
together until they attained the proper
age. when they were married and emil
grated to this country. They have lived
together ever since, but their relations
have been anything but amicable during
the past live or six years. The wife was
I'LL liltiISliiouN udiu-N NihS Nohi'th'
while the husband was almost entirely
given to idlcneSs and dissipation. BY
her untiring efforts the wife had ae-
puired considerable property, and Il com
Portable little home on Market street, be-
tween Jefferson and Adams streets.
Smith was arrested immediately after
the terrible deed had been committed,
and to avoid the vengeance of the en-
ragged crowd that soon assembled, the of
ticers Immediately placed him in jail
He was put into a cell about three
o'clock in the afternoon, when he fell
asleep and did not awake until about
ten o'clock at night.
A hearing of the case was had before
Alderman Johnson yesterday morning,
when the prisoner was committed to Jail
for a further hearing before Court. The
prisoner did not appear to realize the
position he occupied, and during the
whole examination he was silent and in.
different as to the result.
The remains of the deceased were i'll.
TERED Yesterday afternoon, and were fol.
lowed to their last resting place by a
large concourse of friends.

Nh. BRIrr-I did Mr.. Cranmer may
be loyal and temperate; / do not deny
that fact, but l wish to say that although
Mr.. Caldwell may occasionally take a
nip he is as loyal and will make as
competent a Judge as any person we
| can select.
Mr.. SNowDEN-In stating that Mr..
! Cranmer was strictly temperate, l did
! not wish to be understood a saying that
| Mr. Caldwell was incorporate or incom-
/ petent-but merely wished the Conven-
| ton to understand that Mr.. Cranmer
| cas a good, loyal, temperate man.
Mr.. CLAToR-Mr. Chairman: to settle
this whole thing, | move We 90 into an
election. /,
The Chair put the motion and it was
agreed to.
The Wards were called by the secretary
with the following result: Third Ward
| 1868 votes) Caldwell. Fourth Yard (45S
votes) Cranmer SOC and Caldwell 1872.
Fifth Ward $3.50 votes) Caldwell. Sirth
Ward (276 votes) Cranmer. Sernth
Ward (126 votes) Cranmer.. The Chair
announced that Mr. Caldwell had re-
ceived 574 votes, and that Mr.. Gran
mer had received 705 votes, and there
upon declared Mr.. Caldwell the nominee
of the convention
Mr.. CAMPBELL-Has any one herad Mr..
CaldwelIs resignation as States Attor-
ney2 The Circuit Court is now in ses-
sion, and if the resignation was produced
now the Judge of that Court could order
an election to fill the vacancy and both
elections could be held on the same day.
MIR. CRANGLE-I. do not believe Mr..
Caldwell has ever been qualified as Pros
ecuting Attorney, as he fell and broke
his leg a few days after he was elected.
MIR. REED-We can't hold the two
elections at one time, as one is a city
election and the other State election.
MIR. CRANGLE-If Mr.. Caldwell is
qualified, it will not interfere with the
present nomination.
On motion the Caucus adjourned.
As the members were about retiring,
some one suggested that Mr.. Caldwell
ought to be informed of his nomination.
This was deemed a wise suggestion,
and the former Chairman appointed
Messrs. Orr and Bodley as said committee.

Municipal Court.
The meeting was called to order by
the election of Mr.. Henry Crangle Chair
man, and Mr.. J. A. Metcalf Secretary.
Upon counting noses it was found that
the First and Second Wards were not
represented, and that the representa-
ton in the caucus stood as follows
Third Umd-J. C.. Orr, J. A. Metcalf,
IL. Crangle aud J. Bodley.
Fourth Wdrd-Joseph Britt, John Cha

Sereah Ward-John Frew, Robt. Camp
bell and J. F. Snewden.
On motion the last vote for members of
the First Branch of the City Council
was made the basis of representation

pose of ascertaining, returned and stated
that Mr.. Cranmer would abide the de-
cision of the Convention.
The Chair announced that but two
gentlemen were before the Convention
as candidates, when Mr.. r. Campbell
said that in making this nomination the
Convention should put forward the most
available man, or success in the coming
election could not he calculated upon.
Mr.. Cranmer was the most available
man.
Mr.. Snowden did not think the Con.
vention should look g much at availa-
bility. In making a nomination for this
important Office; we should look more at
the character and standing of the nom
inee than availability. Mr.. Cranmer
was a good man he was not only loyal
and competent, but he was temperate and
reliable. Let us nominate such a man
and place him before the people, and il
the opposition candidate is elected, it
will be the fault of the people.
