SHOT HIS WIFE.


DAYTON, February 2i.--At abou. half
past ono this afternoon, in the ,outhern
part of tho city, Christopher Moureque,
a Frenchman, shot his wife in the back Of
the neck, killing her instantly. Both
were dining, when he suddenly got angry,
and she left the table. He followed her
into the kitchen and shot
her. He was perfectly sober, and i. is
supposed he is insane. He showed intsn,e
grief when he became conscious of the
shocking result of his fury. A daughter
OF seven years and babe of fourteen
IN onths were the only other persons in the
house, the othor three children being alb
sent. The murderer seemed afflicted with
various dousions about his wife among
them the false one that she WAS an I'M
faithful woman.

The papers are saying that Logan did
not maintain himself to advantage in tht
verbal controversy he had with Schurz II
the senatea few days ago. In our opin
ion neither of the gentlemen said any.
thing particularly witty, but it is certain
that Logan struck Schurz q harder blow
than he received. Schurz had said that
all persons who were not resumptiooists
were fools, and that he having laid down
q rule for himself believed those who
agreed With him we're the moro sensible
portion of the country. Logan retorted
that he was sorry the country did not en-
terrain OF his friend the came high opin-
ion he entertained of himself. Schurz
replied that lie was grstiiied by tho know
ledge that the country thought as much Of
Logan as Logan Of himself. This is stu
pid talk at beet, and we are surprised that
either Of the gentlemen who INDUCED in
1t should take any pride in his part of the
dialogue.
