A Desperate L0yer-He Attempts to
Murder his Sweetheart, and then
Kills Himself.

Murder his Sweetheart, and then
Kills Himself.
NASHUA, N. Y, June 14.-Henry Jewett.
aged twenty-five years, living at Hudson,
n. H., attempted to-day to kill Miss Ella
Wood, daughter of Charles Wood. He had
been for some time endeayoriDg to force bis
suit with Miss Wood, but that young lady
rejected his offer of marriage, and her pa
rents also opposedit.
This morning Jewett visited Miss Wood.
pulled six-shooter from his pocket, aimed
it at her head, and fired. The ball entered
her forehead above the eye and lodged under
the skin. Miss Wood fell upon the floor but
not insensible, and it is hoped the wound lis
not mortal. Jewett then passed into the
yard, where he met Mr.. Wood and attempted
to assassnate him. Mr.. Wood, however,
caught him by the throat aud warded off the
aim of the pistol, thus fortunately escaping.
Jewett then put the pistol to his own ear and
discharged it, the ball entering his head,
causing IA wound that must prove fatal. The
indications are that Jewett's intention was
to murder the whole family.

Jersey justices of the peace need investiga-
ting as well as those OF Washington. One of
them, Justice Reichel, was before the Mayor OF
Trenton recently on a charge preferred against
him by Mr.. Arnold for keeping a disorderly
house. The complainant stated that fighting
had been carried on in the "Squire's'' house for
two days in succession, and that the neighbOrs
were much annoyed in consequence. He had
offered TO give Reichel SO if he would change
his residence. The latter refused to accept the
offer, saying that his better half was the cause
OF the tumult, and he exhibited some blood
stained clothing TO prove his allegation. The
Squire and his wife were committed to the
county iai.

The commission to investigate the causes of
the Wawaset disaster recommended that steam
boat inspectors make it their special duty to
frequently visit steamers, and without any pre-
vious notification sound an alarm of fire, TO test
the efficiency of the crew and of the life-saving
apparatus on board. This mere suggestion has
already had good effect in one case at least
Captain James Harper, of the steamer Column
bia, which left Washington yesterday morning,
thought he would see, provided his boat should
catch fire, how his crew would act under the
circumstances, 30 before the boat reached Alex
andria he sounded the alarm On the main deck
at 9i5, and in one and a half minutes the engi-
neer, Mr.. John Bleasdale, had two streams from
the donkey and one from the forward deck
pump in operation flooding the decks. At 9.i5X
orders were given to lower away boats and get
out life preservers, and in two minutes, under
the direction of Mr.. L. T. Pearson, mate, every

Judge Dawson, of the Police Court, to-day
decided that If a man is attacked in the street
by dog, he (the MANI has the right TO defend
himself by shooting the animal, or throwing
stones at it. IL he has no pistol, and that the
penalty for firing pistol or throwing stones in
the streets will not be enforced in such cases.
This decision will be generally commended by
all except the owners Of the dogs. AS for the
dogs themselves, if they do not like these deci-
sions-that in the Caleb Cushing case and this
later one-they are at liberty TO emigrate to
some section where their right to disturb the
peace and bite the legs of the people is un-
questioned.
