A Family Exterminated

4 peculiarly sad and shocking domestic
tragedy is reported from the town of
Batvn. in Hungary, The keeper of a
crossing on the East Hungarian Railway
near that town happened TO win, few
DAYS ago, some hundreds of fiOrins in
lottery. The poor fellow, who had never
seen such large sum of money In ms
life. took the bank notes, and amused
himself in turning them over, forming
Dlan upOn plan for their disposal. All at
once a train was signalled, and he rushed
to his post, leaving the precious roll be-
hind him. As luck would have it,
his little daughter was playing in
the room at the time. Struck by
the peculiar appearance of the notes,
having rarely. il ever, seen one before,
and not knowing anything whatever of
their value. she proceeded 10 use them as
a plaything, and presently flung them in
to the fire, where they were burned 70
ashes. Just then the father returned,
missed the notes and learned what had
become of them. In his fury he struck
the child a violent blow, which stretched
her lifeless on the floor. The mother, who
was giving a bath i'm an adjoining room to
her second child, aa infant, rushed in on
hearing the disturbance, picked up the
little rirl and tried TO restore her to
consciousness, Her efforts were vain
the child was dead. She flew to the bath
in which she had left the infant Another
shock awaited her-the child was drowned
in the bath. The childless mother, dis
tracted and desperate, rushed out OF the
house and hanged herself on the Dranch
of tree. The wretched husband, over
whelmed with miSfOrtune-hls fortune

ence, The artistic completeness of this
/ tragedy gives il a certain air of unreality,
