GALEsBURG ILL.,, July 13.-Late Thursday
night, while Martin O'Connor was riding
with lady of this city, he was followed by
a woman named Spaulding, who tried to
induce him to leave the lady and go with
her, which he refused to do When he left
the lady and started to walk home the wo-
man Spaulding followed him and shot him
in the left breast near the heart The
wounded man walked about four blocks and
fell to the ground dead. The woman also
shot herself, but is not dead. There is no
hope of her recovery however, as she is
thought to be bleeding internally.
The cause of the crime is thought to be
jealousy. The murderess and her victim
were once man and wife, but were divorced
a few years ago, since when she has watched
him closely, and once before tried to shoot
him

Sergeant Larkin's Character Cxilea
in OneAIiON.

=" VheSthpAs
K. B. Dickson, who keeps candy s.o=s
at 34319 West Fifth street, was before tile
Police Court this morning ON the charge o4
libel, and if the statements which are masls
i'll the information are proved to be true, a
will make f1rSt-class case of blaelImail.
The charge is as follows; About thrca
weeks ago Mr.. Dickson wrote a letter o the
wife of Sergeant Larkin, ol The Third -strcct
Station, which he signed with the ilame Ut
Miss Webb, respectable lady of the con-
munity. In this letter he represents Miss
Webb as making an apology to Mrs
Larkln for having private intercourse
with the Sergeant and for receiving from
him both money and clothes This letter
was delivered to Mrs Larkin by u colnred
boy, about week after it was dated, anl
was Immediately handed oter to the Scr
geant, who at once proceeded to seek redress
The colored boy was found and stated
that Dickson had given him the letter 10 lie
llver and the grandmother of the bog
makes the same statement. There were
also letters at the Station-houSe which cor
respond in penmanship to the letter re-
ceived by Mrs Larkin, and upon this eva
dence the arrest was made
Miss Webb denies having any knowlcaga
or part in the affair and her character 10
represented by the officers is above teproac..
A few months ago Mr. Dickson was DIS
missed from the position of Station-honsa
keeper at the Third-street Station,
and since that time the Scrgeans
and Mr.. Dickson have not been on friendly
terms, which the Sergeant states must be-
the cause of Mr.. Dickson's conduct. 1ns
prisoner denies the whole affair, and was
given until Thursday next to gather his
evidence

H. Wyaflt was sent to arrest the would-bc-murder but failed to find him, ho having left for parts unknown. The reasons why Manion wanted to kill Calvin are stsid to be as'follows,: Calvin was at one. time engaged 10, Manions daughter. The father and Calvin were grcitt friends. It is said that tlIe wed- ding day had been set, and Miss Manion had madearrangencnts with dress makers Tor the bridal garments, and Calvin had bought articles for housekeeping. Soon after, however, the engagement was broken, and on the ninth 4ay of the pres ent month Calvin married lady from New Milford. Probably with feeling of anger and revenge the father of Miss Manon started in search of Calvin on his wedding day, and probably would have shot him had they encountered each other. ManiOn and Calvin are both Irish iy birth, the latter having been in New l Preston for about five years, and is at present running the 'Waramaus Mills" ''WHo?"
