A French Tragedy.
Trench Correspondence. |


A sad drama has just been enacted at
Lille. A widow named Julie Matthew
was married on Monday to a Quarter
master of gend'armerie named singier.
They were on the point of leaving for
their new home at Chinon, when they re-
ceived the visit of one Espel, who lived
with his mother on the second floor of the
house occupied by the bride. After
breakGasting together in the most cordial
manner, E5pel embraced them, and babe
them adieu. Singier then went out to
fetch cab, which was TO take them
to the station, but on his return, after
lapse of ten minutes, a horrible spec
tacle met his view. E pei was lying life
less in the passage, his hand half severed
from his body, and a razor tightly casped
in his hand. Seized with AN awful pre-
sentiment, Singer rushed into the room
where he had Quilted his wife few mo-
ments before, and found her on the floor
in pool of blood. Her throat had been
cut. At the cries of the unhappy man
the neighbors poured in, and a doctor
was Immediately summoned, but nothing
could be done, for both were dead.
jealousy would appear to have prompted
the crime, and it was rumored that Espel
was opposed to the marriage of The widow,
whom he wanted to wed himself.

Rare Instance of Longevity.
Rockville, Conn. Journal

Widowed twin sisters, IS years old
have been visiting relatives this week in
Rockville. They came from Augusta
Me-, unattended by any escort They
bade adieu to their friends yesterday
one going to Boston, the other to visit a
daughter residing at Brooklyn, N. Y.
Such vivacity and sunny dispositions are
not often seen in persons of their mature
years. These ladies have an only sister
residing at Gardiner, Me-, who is so years
old, the 3 sisters being the only sur
vivors Of family Of daughters and
sons. One of the trio is a Baptist, / is a
Congregationalist and the other is a
Methodist.
The father of these children, John
Soule, was born at Duxbury, Mass. He
died when 70 years Old, in 1885. The
mother, Deborah (Bowker) Soule, was
born at Phipsburg, Me-, in 1862. She
died in 1856, at the age of 92 years and
s months. Three daughters and 2 sons
have died. The children attained the
following ages, viz: 6S, 80, 65, 43 and
SO, respectively. The combined ages of
the 2 parents and their s children, reck-
oning the now living at the ages they
have already reached, is 74S years, which
gives an average of "A $40 years for each
person, somewhat remarkable history
for family. One of the brothers, Cap
tain John Soule, died on board the ship
he commanded at the age of 49, The
other brother, Captain Abisha Souie, who
wa for many ye rs a shipmaster, lived
to be 80.

crowd getting mixed into a confused
mass, and the strains of the band growing
fainter and fainter, till all below was
quite mingled into an almost inaudible
hum.
We had only one more trick to do, and
that was to cast loose the bar, and each
man swing by his own rope. l had loosed

How l managed to hold on, I can't tell
now, for, though weak with all 1 had
done | managed to give hoarse cry for
help, and the next moment heard cry
from the basket-work car. Then | felt

poor Tom from my hold.

ering, saturated with cold perspiration;
even the men in the car being silent, un.

cape.

man Smith and Charles Waterbury, and
the store of Mr.. Waterbury. Mrs. Tay-
lor had thrilling experience, which the
Messenger thus describes:
About o'clock she was awakened by
an unusual noise, but hearing nothing
further to arouse her suspicious she again
went to sleep. She awakened the second
time about an hour later by slight noise
in her room. Upon turning over and
casting a glance about the room, she
espied villaiDous looking negro Mrs.
Taylor thinks the intruder was white
man in disguise) upon his hands and
knees slowly creeping towards her. As
Mrs. Taylor caught the burglars eye,
and he saw that he was discovered, he
cast most malicious and threatening
look at the terrified lady, indicative of
dire vengeance should she make any out
cry or alarm.
Though helpless and almost powerless
with terror, Mrs. Taylor endeavored to
arouse her husband by nudging him with
her elbow, but was unable to awaken him.
CHANGING at the burglar, she saw that he
was close to the bed and appeared to be
about to spring upon her. In the dim,
uncertain light of the room, with his re-
pulsive face so near to her own and his
evil eye fastened upon her. he seemed
more like a wild and ferocious beast
than human being, but the courageous
lady, commanding all her energies, raised
herself to sitting posture and gave a
loud and piercing scream for help.
Awakened a by his wife's cry of terror, Mr.
Taylor sprang out of bed and attempted
to seize the bold burglar, but he jumped
up and qui kly darted out of the room,
closing the door in Mr., Taylor's face, who
succeeded in opening it just in time to
see the thief disappearing out of the YER
anda window, through which he had en-
tered.

Marriage Of Gen. HOward's Daugh.
Portland Oregonian.l

lP0ftland OregOnlan.
A brilliant assemblage was it that
gathered Wednesday night at the resi-
dence of Gen. O. o Howard, at Vancouver,
and one worthy to witness the auspicious
event, the marriage of his eldest daugh-
ter, Grace, to Capt James T, Gray, Sec
retary of the Vancouver Transportation
Company and Captain of its boats. Gen.
Howard's residence in Portland had en-
deared himself and family to hundreds
and as much interest was manifested in
the wedding here as at the post. AT $50
o'clock the bride and groom entered the
parlor without attendants, and were made
one by the Rev. George H. Atkinson, who
read the Episcopal marriage service. At
ter two hours had been pleasantly passed
in social enjoyment and dane
ing, interspersed with dainty re-
freshments, the merry gathering were
startled by the crack of the musket and
the cry of "Fire." Flames were seen in
the direction of the officers residences,
and in an instant all was confusion. The
fire had broken out and was burning
fiercely in the wood-house back of COL
Pollock's residence, and only the active
efforts of officers, soldiers, and citizens
saved the residence from destruction. A
large fir-tree, which stood near the wood
house, took fire, and the tall column of
fame was an exhibition of fireworks
compared with which sky-rockets and
Roman candles would have appeared in
sipid. At II 80 o'clock the newly-mar-
red couple, with the Portland guests,
left on the steamer for the city, arriving
few minutes before l o'clock. Captain
and Mrs. Gray went to the seaside yes
terday morning, to be gone several days.
They have the best wishes of multitude
of friends for life of health, peace and
happiness.
