TERRIBLE TRAGEDY At MONROE, WIS.,
A GIRL KILLS HER SEDuCER.-A dispatch
dated Madison, Wis, January Is, says:
"Intellige nce has been received here OF
tragedy in Monroe, Green county, OF
which the following are the particulars,
obtained from entirely reliable authority
Patrick Crotty, an Irishman, somewhat
noted for his exploits among the fair sex,
seduced a young serving woman named
Angeline Shroyer some two years since,
and long suit followed about the malnte-
nance of the child. The girls father pro-
posed, on her behalf, to settle the matter
for an indemnity of $500 and the costs of
the suit. Crotty had come to the Monroe
House, where Angelina was working, to
make payment and take a receipt in full.
Here dispute occurred, Crotty claiming
that the amount should be only $500 in all.
Crotty was quite boisterous in his language,
frequently going out to stimulate himself
with liquor. The girl also slipped out, pro-
cured a pistol, and on his approaching her
with insulting language, and, some say,
with violent gestures, she fired, the ball
entering the abdomen and passing entirely
through him, lodging near the skin at the
back. He uttered an exclamation, fastened
to his sleigh, and attempted to drive home!
but soon sunk down and died. Crotty had
married only few weeks since, and the
controversy has been more fierce since that
time"

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH
THROUGH CANINE INSTINCT OR SAGACITY.-
As Mr.. Sylvester Scribner, of Salisbury,
N. H., was on his way home with his horse
and team on the 3lst ultimo he observed
his dog standing every few seconds on his
hind legs, looking intently toward the
forest, and uttering occasionally lcw cry.
The behavior of the animal wes 90 singular
that Mr.. Scribner stopped his toen, and,
upon listening, heard a faint sonnd, but
whether animal or human he could rot
tell. Proceeding in the direction Of the
sound-to the manifest delight OF hls dog.
who ron on before him, ever and anon Look
ing to see if his master was fcllcwirgg-Mr
scribner soon discovered one Of his nearest
neighbors (Mr. Robert I. Batchclder)
crushed under large ash tree which ne
had been telling. Mr.. Batchelder's thigh
was broken, and he was otherwise go much
injured that it is believed he could not have
lived another hour had not succor arrived
and for this he was directly indebted to his
neighbours sagacious dog. Mr.. soribner
rescued the injured man from his perllous
situation, took him home, and he is now

THE NAPERvILLE (ILl IHoIs) TRAGEDY
A STARTLING CHAPTER c' CRIME AND VEN
GEASCE.-We. have CHI" 'r'e I'd the fact Of
the killing Of ma cd James A.
Laird at Naperville, J. = 30 county, by
Chauncey Bailey, with Nh - wife the de-
ceased had been criminr,Y intimate. A
coroner's inquest has since been held upon
the remains, and verdict rendered in &C.
cordance with the facts.
From the testimony given at the inquest
it appears that MIR. Chauncey Bailey, the
injured husband, resided in the western
suburbs Of Naperville; that some three
months ago one James A. Laird, young
and not bad-looking man, and formerly q
resident Of the village, returned from the
somewhat fast town of Cheyenne, where he
had held the position of sheriff of the county
in which Cheyenne is located, as also the po-
sition of deputy United States marshal of the
district. During the three months since
his return, an improper intimacy grew up
between the ex-sherif and the wife Of Mr..
Bailey-an intimacy which, although per-
fectly evident to the community at large,
was not known to Mr.. Bailey until quite
recently. At last friend of the injured
Mr.. Bailey very properly commenced to
investigate as to the facts in the case. So,
accordingly, he Immediately started off to
Elgin, that is, TO speak more accurately, he
told his wife that he so intended. This de-
parture for Elgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed,
would take place Wednesday morning. But
this part of the programme was not carried
out. During the day the ex-sherif received
G. note written in feminine hand conveying
the information that Mr.. Bailey had left
town for that day. Accordingly Mr.. Laird
proceeded to the house of the woman about
. o'clock in the evening. A gentle tap at
the door, and Mrs. Bailey admitted him.
Soon after the entrance Of Laird, Bailey
appeared on the ground-gazing at the
guilty pair through hole which he had
cut out in the window-curtain the pre-
vious evening. His wife and Laird
at the time were sitting together on a
lounge in the sittiDg-room, but soon went
into an adjoining bedroom: Waiting but
few minutes, Bailey burst in the door,
and, dashing into the bedroom, caught his
wife and her paramour .1'agrante deIicto.
Laird attempted to escape, but the outraged
husband drew revolver, and before the
libertine reached the door shot him IN the
breast Immediately over the heart. Five
shots were fired in all, only one of which
took effect. Laird succeeded in reaching
the open air, ran few rods, and fell a
corpse. Bailey Immediately gave himself
up, but the authorities did not incarcerate
him, allowing him to sleep where he de-
sired to in the village.
The cause of the above tragedy, or one
of its causes Mrs. Bailey, is tolerably
handsome woman, about twenty EIGHT years
of age. She commenced her career of free
love by clipping with Universalist clergy
man. This first departure from virtuous
womanhood was, however, hushed up, the
erriDg woman apparently becoming re-

Experiments have recently been tried in
the machine-shops of the Western railroad
in Paris, in the new art Of welding iron by
pressure instead of by a hammer on an
anvil. 1t was found that union Of the two
masses of iron was effected only superb
cially by means Of the hammer, but that a
continued steady pressure had a far greater
effect in producing a thorough junction.
Among other experiments, two iron bars,
one and half inches in diameter, were
heated to the welding point and brought
under the hydraulic press. The welding
was effected with extraordinary ouickness,
the fbres of the iron being thoroughly in
tercolated With each other. The Joined
portion of the bars was quite as strong as
anywhere else. A microscopic section OF
the joint showed perfectly homogeneous
texture.
