Frightful Tragedy i'm Boston.

A MAN MURDERS HIS WIFE AND FATALLY
WOUNDS HIMSELF.
BOSTON. August 31-Further information in
regard to the murder and attempted suicide at
81 EdenbOrO street. this city. last night, shows
that about nine weeks ago the couple. Francis
Z. Pease and wife. came to the house and hired
an attic room, paying the rent thereof i'm advace.
Not much was known of them. but they were
always apparently on the best of terms. and
seemed very attentive to each other. Mr.. Pease
had no employment, but was in search of some
thing to do; yet he appeared to have consider
able money, and always paid the bills at his
| lodging in advance. The>couple staid at the
house about three weeks, and then went away
but it is not known where. On last Tuesday
they returned and re-engaged the room formerly
occupied by them, paying for it as before in ad-
vance. At times Pease was seen intoxicated.
and it is believed he was hard
drlnker; yet the people in the house
say they have never heard any
quarrel between him and his wife. At
about IL O'Clock last night the occupants of the
house were startled by hearing reports from
pistol. and an investigation reveaIved the fact
that they came from the room of Pease. The
door OF the room was found to be locked and
barrcaded with trunk. 1t was forced open by
policeman and the dead body of Mrs
PeaSe was found lying on the floor and near her
the insensible form of her husband. DIR. Cabot
was summoned. and after the wounds of Mr.
Pease had been hastily dressed he was conveyed
to the city hospital. The murder was evidently
the deed of a frenzed man. There are four bullet
wounds on the body of Mrs. Pease. One to the
right OF the left arm-pit: over the heart: one
in front and one back of the right ear. Ii is
thought there is also another wound on the
body. Pease has four wounds and win probably
die. Two of the wounds are at the base of the
right ear; one in the left breast and one in the
forehead The crime is undoubtedly due to
Pease's habits Of tntoXication. Just before the
shooting persons i'm the house heard Mr. Pease
go up stairs and then heard Mrs. Pease CRY out
The woman had probably been living on the bed
in the room before he entered as she was par
TALLY un1ressed. Pease had his coat and shoes
Off The woman was phobably shot wiiite trying
to escape from the room. Both came from
Rockland Me-, at which place. about two years
ago. Pease married his wife. who was but IS
years old. They had child about ten months
old now in the care of Mrs. Pease's mother, at
Rockland Me-

WELSH SYMPATHY WITH MRS. GARFIELD.

THE LIVERPOOL COTTON RING.
PRESTON, August 3l.-There is a strong feel
ing here that short time should generally be re-
sorted TO in the cotton trade to checkmate the
action Of the ring of Liverpool brokers who are
keeping the price of cotton penny pound
higher than it should be. Trade is unremune-
rative. many mills working at loss. The de-
preston seems anomalous when the fact is
known that at meeting of the board of guar
dians it was urged that no relief should be
given any weavers. because there was work for
six hundred more at Preston.

THE MANEUvERS IN THE LIVERPOOL COTTON MAR
KET.
LONDON, August 31.-The Manchester Guar
didn in its commercial article to-day SAYS: The
maneuvers in the Liverpool cotton market are
being watched with interest. The point upon
which all accounts agree is that of 400 600 bales
August and September deliveries, sold i'm spring
months by ''bears, somewhat over 2O0. 600 bales
have been rendered and taken up, and the rest
viii have to be provided or settled for before the
close of September. The point of interest is at
what time these outstanding engagements will
be closed, as thereafter it is expected that the
price Of cotton will decline more or less rapidly.
