NEW YoRK, March 19.-The neighbor-
hood Of Twenty-third street and Eighth
avenue was thrown into state of great ex-
element tonight by the report that muir
der had Occur red In the Paris fiat at No. 34l
West Twenty third street Investigation
proved the truth of the report. The mur-
derer Is George w. Conkling, a United
States surveyor on the Government surveys
In Nevada, and he shot and killed William
II. HaverstIck, the seducer of his sister.
Conkling arrived In this city few days ago
and stopped at the Leland House. About
ten years ago his sister married a man
named Uhler, with whom she lived for a
short time, when they quarreled and she
left him. Falling in with Haverstick, she
came to New York and lived with
him in the Paris fiat. Learning of her
whereabouts, Conkling came on to
New York and obtained an interview
with her. He succeeded In making her
promise to go West with him, but she re-
fused TO live with her husband. Tonight
Conkling went again to see her, but was
met by Haverstick, who flew inte a rage and
swore the woman should not leave the
house. The two men came to blows, and
when Haverstick seized a copper statuette
and flung it at him Conkling drew a revol-
yer and fred. The ball struck Haverstick
in the pit Of the stomach, inhicting a wound
from which he died an hour later.
Conkling left the house Immediately after
the shooting and, walking to the corner of
Eighth avenue and Twenty third street, sur
rendered himself to an officer.

From Canada.


1t is said that colder the climate the
more hardy and yirtuous the race. A ID
if so. then this hyperborean climate of
ours. must be conducive TO the develop
ment OF physical endurance and good
motals. But am not prepared to sup
port this theory. | believe that good
fresh air and plenty Of healthy exercise
are conducive to muscular strength and
activity. But / rather think that good
morals are more OF an acquired virtue
than Climatical inheritance. Iowey-
er. it is true that our winters here are
cold and Of long duration, fully half
year; during which time the poor habi-
tant has to endure many hardships, and
to suffer much from cold and fatigue
The wealthy may procure comforts, and
suffer very little from the extreme cold.
Still. even in their pleasure seeking,
they sometimes get chilled and frost
bitten. Even the cold at times enters
the warmest houses. | remember the
words of an old ballad which ran thus !:
"A man in love can feel no cold,
For | not long ago,
To see my love. like hero bold,
Set of through frost and snow
| think the youth should be very
deeply in love that would not feel the
cold Of some Of our Canadian spells.
There is one thing conducive to the
morals of this part of the world at least
during the winter. There is no love-
dreaming in the shady bowers. No
lingering by the garden gate. nor sitting
meath the old oak tree. All outside
amuSements must be energetic and ac-
tive. Such as sk7ting. tobaggOning.
and snow-shoe tranps and races.
Wha' contrast between this country
and the balmv South. Here. in April.
We have hard frost and deep snow. Our
beautiful river. the st. Lawrence.
bridged over with ice. Now the COM
mon highway of the neighbouring
parishes and hundreds of sleighs, heavily
laden every day glide over the CONCEAL
ed river. There is no danger as the ice
is strong enough for Railway train to
pass over it. | suppose with YOU South
erners the warm breath of spring is al
ready felt by the herbage and flowers of
your more favored country.
| believe human nature is much the
same in every cline, and that chubby
little Cupid visits the North as well as
the South StlIl L Uillnh lne ILtlt goa
would rather sport among the gaudv
and sweet scented flowers. or stretch
himself in luxurious repose in your spicy
groves. regaling himself with your Juicy
fruits. than come here on a loye-mission
in winter. Besides. this cold country
cannot be as congenial to the muses. as
the beautiful sunny South. | have Of
ten read of poets lettering in the cool
inL shade. and wandering by the rivers
brink. Poets would be chilled to death
were they to act so in this hyperborean
cline. But hide a wee, "a month
from this will work wonderous change.
The spring ti!es in May will break up
the zee and float it down to the guilt TO
be tossed over into the great gulf stream
and then disappear. The glowing sun
will dissolve the snow. and then the
grasses will spring up rapidly. and the
trees put on their summer dress. Flora
Will decorate our gardens and meadows.
and the little birds sing their joyous
hymns of praise.
