grsvated the pain which was chasing
UP his arms. He screamed for help,
but Mrs. Coville was in the back yard
telling Mrs. Coney, next door, that she
did not know what Coville would do
without that chair, and so she didn't
hear him. He pounded the floor with
bis stockinged feet, but the younger
Coville was still drawing emotion from
that fence scross the way, and all other
sounds were rapidly sinking into insig-
nifcance. Besides, Mr.. Coville's legs
not sufficiently recovered from the late
accident to permit their being proftably
used as msllets.
How he did despise that offspring,
and how frequently he did wish the
owner OF that fence would light on that
boy and reduce him to powder. Then
he screamed again and howled, and
shouted "MariaT But there was no
response. What il he should die there

spiration started sfresh, and the pain in
his arms assumed an awful magnitude,

on that lady's redingote. Then he pray
ed and howled, and coughed, and swore,
and then apologized for it, and prayed
and howled again, and screamed at the
top OF his voice the awfullest things he
would do to that boy if heaven would
only spare him and show him an ak.
Then he opened his mouth for one
final shrek, when the door opened, and
Mrs Coville appeared with a smile on
her face, and Mrs. Coney's redingote on
her back. In one glance she saw that
something awful had happened to JOS

mind she screamed for help, and then

to his stomach. Fortunately, the blow
deprived him of speech, else he might
have said something that he would ev.

egain his senses, Mrs. Coney dashed in
and removed the grief-stricken wife.
But it required blacksmith to cut Cos
vile loose. He is again back in bed,

brother OF one OF the proprietors, while
standing behind Samuel Schenlank shot
him and then swallowed bottle OF poi
son and shot himself. Schenlank will
probably live.
Alfred Steinhart came from Chicago
a few weeks ago aud was learning the
cigar business. The only reason Schen-
lank gives for the shooting is that be
told Steinhart to keep away from his
employees, as he had discharged him on
Friday last. Schenlank is a married
man, with wife and seven children
living. Steinhart is a young man and
unmarried.
Dr.. Fluhner probed Sharlanks
wound but did not find the ball. He
does not consider the wound necessa-
rily fatal; unless hemorrhage sets in.
Alfred ia in dangerous condition. Be.
fore he shot himself he took an ounce Of
poison and then deliberately placed the
muzzle over his heart and fred. He
is sinking fast from An internal hemorr-
hage and suffers intensely. There is q
deep family story connected with the
tragedy which has not yet come to light.
Steinhart's father is retired merchant
living on Lexington avenue and re-
ported to be worth over a million Of
dollars
