corn CRIB near his house, with double.

his wife and shot at her, setting her
clothes on fire, and then broke his gun
over her head and fled for parts un-
known. Officers are now in pursuit OF
him. Mrs. Dunlap was badly cut
about the head and seriously burned on
the back. Carpenter was instantly
killed, the shot taking effect in his let
breast and passing entirely through
him. Carpenter Was a fine young man

There is nothing either opstrusive

and ITS existence is only ielt by the out

in Flush Times in a story OF an old

humilaring confession that he WAS not
from Virginia 1t seems to me, as a
candid and impartial observer, that
there are many valid reason Tor this
pride.

prominent Grant managers, including,
as we are informed, Henry Wilson,

place in this city, at the FIFTH Avenue

Ames, member OF Congress for the
Second District OF Massachusetts, AMI

purpose OF this meeting was 10 obtain
from Ames a broad, square and COM

testimony 10 the case now pending in
