Horrible Tragedy.

ECHICAGO, July l0.-1he Topeka (Kansas)
State Record of the sixth gives tbs follow
ing particulars OF the Murdoch tragedy at
EldOradO Mrs. Murdoch had been agittted
over threats that had been sent her hus-
band, growing out of the county seat ques-
ton. A letter had feen sent TO Mrs. Muir
dock containing picture OF man with
rope around his neck. The sight o. tie pie
ture seemed to unsetrle her mind. She i'm
mediately secured razor and hid it in her
trunk. Several days after she asked her
husband which of their two children he
liked best, and the one killed was not the
one he expressed a preference for She cut
the head of the child nearly Oft and it died
instantly. She then cut her own throat,
but fortunately she only severed the wind
pipe and did not touch the .jugular vein
The wound was Immediately closed and is
.improving fast. From the time of the re-
ception of the picture with the rope she had
watched every stranger that came into
town, fearing thai they had come to hang
her husband. On the day of the tragedy
she saw Hon. Sidney Clarke and two other
gentlemen ride into town and thought she
saw rope in the wagon. She Immediately
seized her child, ran behind the house and
cut its throat us described.

Narrow s:auae Railroad.

A narrow gauge railroad has been pro-
.jected from Denver, Colorado, 10 Ii p.iso,
in New Mexicu. "a distance OF eight hundred
and fifty miles. Parties interested il this
enterprise have contracted Tor iron for the
superstructure in ST. Louis. From the tone
of the Colorado papers il appears that this
line will be tapped by numerous local lines,
affor,ling network of local communities
ton through that Territory and New Mex
leo that will rapidly develop their natural
resources. In the mountain regions these
narrow gauge roads-from twenGy-four to
thirty-six inches-present greater facilities
for construction than the common roads in
their capacity for overcoming high grades
and in their admissiuu.of shorter radii of
curvature. Their cheapness of con>tr'Ic-
tion is another advantage in the present IL
nancial state of the Territories, bringing
them within the reach of comparatively I'M
developed sections of the country. A very
considerable proportion of railroad invest
ments seems likely hereafter to be made in
the narrow gauge roads.
