Rough.
GREAT HARRINGTON, Feb. 14.-Harriet Nor
rson, aged 30, was shot and almost instantly
killed at Egremont last night during scufAe
between James Bunce in whose family she
was employed and jeremiah Winchell. The
latter who was partially intoxicated called on
Mrs. Morrison and attempted to scuf1e with
her in the kitchen. She resenting, he assaulted
her IL year old son who was asleep in the
room. The mother defending him was thrown
down by Winchell but escaped and ran into
Bunce's bed room, Winchell pursuing. Bunce
protesting seized gun which was hanging
over the door and upon Winchell's attempting
to wrest it from him it was discharged, the
contents lodging in the woman's stomach.
Winchell continued the fight with Bunce who
reinforced by his son disabled and
secured him. During their absence to arouse
neighbors Winchell slipped away to the house
of one Frank where no one dared to arrest
him. He was finally arrested after some re-
sistance by Sheriff Humphrey and brought
here and this morning committed without
bail on charge of murder. Winchell has
served six years in state prison for rape and is
considered a dangerous man. He is IS years
old. He claims the gun was accidentally dis
charged.

The Importers and Sugar Duties.
At largely attended meeting of the New
York sugar trade to-day to consider what &C
ton should be taken in regard to Sherman s
letter on the subject of collection of duties on
sugar resolutions were unanimously adopted
endorsing the report of the chamber of COM
MERGE on the subject of collection of duties on
sugar as true and fair statement of the con-
troversy between the merchants and the
Secretary. The resolutions assert that the
question at issue is not one of fraud and this
meeting desires to enter an emphatic protest
against the manner in which the Secretary of
the Treasury treated the subject closing it
with an appearance of fraudulent purpose
on the part of the importers.
