A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY occurred last week
at Fort Miller Bridge, N. Y, the point where
the Champain canal crosses the Hudson riv-
er. resulting in the instant death Of Mrs. Jesse
Billings. Jr., and the subsequent arrest of
her husband, the largest boat owner and
builder ON the canal, as the murderer Mrs.
Billings was sitting by the evening lamp con-
versiug with her daughter and the servant,
when a bullet cut through the window and
killed her in her chair There seemed to be
no trace of the assassin, but rs soon as Mr..
Billings was called home from the neighbours
where he was found, his daughter Jennie, Il
Young woman of Is, cowed him with these
accusing Words you are my father, and
YOU are the man who did this deed. This is
the third time you have tried to do 1t" 1t
was at once recalled that there had been an
i'll feeling between Mr.. and Mrs. Billings over
the formers attentions to the pretty young
wife of Weller Curtis, who had apartments
over his private office, and Mrs. Billings had
made such accusations regarding the intima-
CIV that six weeks before Mr. Curtis had be-
gun suit for Islander against her, rs she held
property in her own right. When asked at
the inquest if he had killed his wife, Billings
burst into tears and made no reply, and the
officers were certain they could trace him to
the neighbours where he was found after the
shooting, the tracks made corresponding to
the boots worn by him. He suggested that
the river be searched for the weapon with
which the deed was DONE and a diver was or
dered TO come from New York, but before his
arrival it was found in an old well, and was
identified by Billingss clerk as an old carbint
his employer had kept in his store chamber.
Singularly enough, it is the same gun witt
which Billings shot his brother 30 years ago
though it has been understood that that shoot
ing was accidental. The accommodating weight
of evidence was 80 conclusive that Bllling'
was arrested, and he is now in Jail.

assembled Mt the house of Mr.. Kingsbury by
five o'clock. Supper being announced, the
party crossed the street and passed down in
TO the orchard of Mr.. Stebbins, where, under
the bending apple tree boughs were tables
loaded with the delicacies of the season.
just rs the supper was finished, two hand
some easy chairs were brought into the square,
formed by the tables, and gracefully pre-
scented to the heroes of the occasion by Rev.
Prcssun in behalf of the company assembled.
