1t II highly probable TINT statistical re.

The United States, would show M alarming
increase ns well In numbers as in aggregate

M. "A. Hawkes., OF this City, Accidental.
Is Shoots his ygifc-Sho Instantly Ex-
plres-Pnrt1ctalarso Of the Tragic Event.
We had a brief account by telegraph Of the
sad tragedy, the particulars Of which are re-
corded below. Il appears from the statement
which we copy from the st. Paal Irfss TINT
Mr.. Hnwkes, the unhappy author Of his
wifc's death, Is q resident Of Chicago.
One of the saddest and most melancholy
events that has occurred in this city for .
lcng time took place yesterday morning at
about lalEpast nine o'clock, ut the Mansion
House, on Wabasllaw street, In which 9
young and happy wife was suddenly killed
BY the accidental discharge OH pistol In the
she'd q rall Of gloom md grief over all WHO

unfortunate wife, thus cut OF In the bloom Of
her youtl,, and The even moro unhappy hns-
band. who was the unlnt teutioual cause Of
the dreadful calamity, and whose hose grlsf un n,
the agony Of despair; and the whole city
wns Impressed with the painful particulars
Of the mournful catastrophe.
: From the evidence presented ut the In
quest, happears that about three months
head, Massachusetts,, but lattcrly Of Chicago,
cnmc to st. Paul for the benefit Of his health,
and since then has been stoppingnt the Nam
zion House. Some three weeks since, Mrs.
Hawkes. came to this city to join her has-
band, who auxiousiy awaited her coming,
and to whom he has been deyotcdIy al.
tacbel. During the three weeks past the
husband and wife, who have been but eight
or teE months married, were, as he stated to
a friend, really spending their honeymoon.
Together they visited the hikes. Whcrrver
the husband went, the wife accompanied
him. md every evening wns spent In her
COMPANY. Such Is the uniform testimony OF
all.who were intimate with Mr. md Mra.

serves no mercy from court or jury. If tho
mystery surrounding the occasion Of fires
does not nccessitatc the conclusion that the
hand Of tho iuccndiary has been at work, It
leaves only tho inference Of culpablc
carelcssncss. This Ia matter oycr
which tho public authorities have
no control, but which should bo
seriously regarded by every private iudi-
vidual. The enormfty Of disaster frequently
consequent upon mere want of forcthought,
is enough Of Itself 10 make the exercise OF
ordinary care duty not to be neglected.
1t Is to hc feared, too, That the dreadful rav-
ages Of the element and the colnctdcnt in.
roads made upon the capital of Insurance
companies, will have the effect Of Masking
the rates Of insurance scnsibly higher.
These rates arc already sufficiently cxorbl-
tant, under ordinary circumstances, to enrich
the stockholders of assurance companies,
besides supporting large army Of officers,
clerks and solicitors, and the increase in
their business will furnish an opening for the
formation Of new companies whose responsi-
bIlity may be more or less doubtful.
The most important suggestion which pre-
scuts itself Is one to which the special attcn-
tion Of the city authorities ought to be given
the extension Of the fire limits. The rapid
growth Of Chicago for years, and the urgent
demand for filing up the central, business
portion of the city, rendered 1t impracticable
and undesirable TO place any restriction upon
it's progress. But now among other evi-
lcnces Of metrepolitanism We find such
steadinces and uniformity in our progressive
strides, that everything should be shaped
with a view to durability and permnnencc.
