Attempted Murder mt Westfield,
Mass.
JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE.

Albert Smith, freight brakeman,
shot Charles Sackett and Miss Jennie
Bates at Westfield, Mass, Wednesday
night, Goth, inst, and was arrested few
hours after at his home in West Spring
field. He was taken to W estfeld Thurs
day morning for examination. Miss
Bates was shot in the temple and right
hand, but only slightly hurt. Sackett
was shot once in the breast, but it is
probable not MORALLY wounded. Sack
EFT and Miss Bates were soon to be mar
ried, and the motive of the crime was
jealousy. The feeling against Smith is
SO strong in Westfeld that if he
could have been got out of the of
ficers' hand Thursday morning he would
undoubtedly have been lynched. The
shooting was deliberately premeditatet
and Smith had sent several letters t.
Miss Bates threatening her life unless
she stopped keeping company with Sack

A Tragedy at Taunton.

A WOMAN MURDERED BY HER HUSBAND.
TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. %, 1S72.-Cath-
srine Cannon, aged 40 years. wife Of
james Cannon, la5orer, came to her death
this morning, under circumstances which
seem to leave no doubt she was brutality
murdered. The husband states that he
was abed with her and awoke at o'clock
this morning and found her dead. He
did not give information to any person
for several hours afterward, and the first
intimation the authorities received that
there was anything wrong was at about
10 o'clock A. NJ, from the undertaken
who was called to prepare the corpse for
burial. City Marshall Potter inspected
the premises where the death occurred, a
small single tenement house on Bow
street, and found that pools and spatters
of blood had evidently been wiped up
from the floor, the stairs leading to the
bedroom, the walls of the bedroom and
the bedclothes. The city physician, DR.
N. Paige, was Summoned, and on cur
sorry examination of the dead body dis
covered considerable rent and contu
sion on the back of the head and several
bruises about the person.
Cannon was taken into custody by
Marshal Potter and was lodged in the
Police Station, where he now remains
awaiting the result of coroner's Inquest
which will undoubtedly be held tonight
Cannon says his wife had been sick fol-
some days.
He states that the stains about tht
house are mostly those of tobacco juice
but he also says that his wife had fal
on the 9th of the present month, receiv
ing certain wounds thereby, which dis
colored the floor little. These state
ments, however, do not appear to the pc
Ice to be very credible, in view of tn,
developments thus far made in the case
Cannon is about fifty years old He i
an Irishman by birth, but has lived her
and at Fast Taunton for many years
, The woman deceased was his second wifi
and was childless, but he had by for
mer marriage several children, one o
whom now reside in Fitchburg. The az
pearance of the defendant does not in
dictate high degree of intelligence, nc
yet very strong disposition to brutist
ness or cruelty.
Nov. 24.-James Cannon the husban
remains in custody at the police station
Great numbers of people have visited ii
locality of the supposed murder to-da.
: and public attention is very general
directed to the subject. Those who be
knew about James Cannon's domest
affairs say that he and his wife were bot

BURNING OF MEssRs. RAND & AyERY's
MAMMOTH PRINTING HOUSE.
Every night since the great fire of the
9th, the alarm has struck until the sound
is almost sickening. So fearful was the
great calamity of the ever memorable
Saturday and Sunday that fires which
would once have been considered Of
alarming magnitude, seem to be dwarfed
in comparison Twice since then has
the city been visited with confagrations
of marked magnitude and destructive
ness, and where and when it will end is
the query. 1t is the largest, fercest, and
most disastrous conhagration which has
visited Boston, except the great disaster
of two weeks since, for many years. 1t
will cause general feeling of sadness
and earnest sympathy among the many
that have watched the growth of the
business of that firm. From the very
first their imprint has been on some OF
leading religious publications of the
country, and many are the excellent
books have passed through their presses.
Moses III. Sargent, of the Congregations
al Publication Society, will also be some
what Inconvenience by the fire, as his
store was drenched with water and much
of his stock ruined. His loss, however
is covered by his insurance. 1t is not SO
however, with Dea. Henry Hoyt, the
publisher of SO many excellent Sunday
school books. The insurance on bis store
was in broken companies, and like hun
dreds of others, be had neglected to re
insure until the whole matter of insur.
ance should be settled somewhat. He
will loose. therefore, most of his stock
damaged by water, and many o. the
/ fixtures of his store. We understand, al
so that the Congregationalist has suffer
ed somewhat in damages to its Office. L
will appear as usual, however.
A number of other publishers anC
book sellers are losers to a greater Of
less extent by the fire.
Rand d Avery are not yet able to de
termine exactly their loss, but according
to the estimates it will be from S150,00t
to s175,000 In the matter of insur
ance they are unfortunate, not having
relocated their policies since the grea
fire. They were considering the matter
and were endeavoring to determine il
what company to reinsure, when this ca
lamity overlook them.
