ADoublc Tragedy.

= NEW YORK, May 27.--James
Dodwell, laborer, residing in East
Ninth street, this morning. without
any warning, attacked his wife with
a Ratchet, striking her blow on the
side of her head, severing an artery
and knocking her unconscious. He
then procured a razor and cut his
throat in a horrible manner, though
the wound may not prove fatal. The
husband and wife were found in their
room by neighbors in an insensible
condition and sent to the hospital.
Mrs. Dodwell's injuries are believed
to be fatal. He has been consider
ed somewhat insane lately. The
parties were very poor.

An Interesting Map.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company Is fifty years old--just half
the life Of our republic. The general
ticket agent, Mr. Cole; his assistant,
G. r.. Dorsey; the eastern passenger
agent, Mr.. Rankin: and the master
Of transportation, L. II. Sharp, have
compiled from works in the possession
OF the New York Geographical Soci-
ETY. q map Of the region which is now
the United States, showing it as il
was known to be a hundred years
ago. 1t was then a region mostly Of
forest and desert, roamed over BY
buffaloes and wolves and Indians,
with but a comparatively inconsido-
rable corner occupied by the white
population. A strong black line from
the Atlantic to the Mississippi marks
the path where fifty years after
ward the projectors OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad planned the line
OF the connection between the sea-
coast and the great West. That
Company now own twenty-four hum
dred and sixty miles Of track, six
hui dred and two engines, three hum
dred and forty-eight passenger cars,
twelve thousand and sixty-twO
freight cars, and connects popula-
tions east OF the Mississippi largo
enough to form several Kingdoms,
with others on the Pacific coast
which are already rivalling them in
growth and prosperity.--N. X. Post.

MONTREAL, May 27.-Mr. Archa-

where he had gone to lay the Worms
extradition cese before the home au-
thorites. He had interview with
Carnarron in reference to the case.
The foreign secretary condemns the
authorities for having allowed Worms
to be extradited in view of the priv
ilege accorded him by the Chief JUS
tice, but holds that it would be use-
less to ask the United States author
Isles to return him for the simple
reason that they would refuse.
