sPoNDENT.

Black and white Grape fluttered last night
on the door Of the LeOnard-street entrance
to Germania Hall, at the corner OF Mont
rose avenue and Leonard street, Williams
burg. The lights were turned down and
the curtains were drawn. In an upper
room Joseph Bauer sat by the inanlmate
form Of his young and beautiful girl.wiie,
who, in q fit OF jealousy, committed suicide
by taking dose OF Paris green. The sad
story was the chief topic OF interest in the
neighborhood, which is mainly inhabited
by Germans.
MARRIED HIS PUPIL.
The couple were welded last Easter.
Mrs. Bauer was Miss Mary Bittner, living
with her parents at No. s134 Maujer street,
Williamsburg. She was only eighteen
years old when she met her husband, who
was the proprietor OF the Germania Hall,
and enioyed some nOtOriety as a dancing
master. Last winter he received her as a
pupil, and she soon became q graceful
dancer and iavorite in her class.
A love for each other soon sprang up be-
tween Miss Bittner and her teacher, and
eventually they were married. Mrs. Bauer
was as popular after her marriage as before.
A JOYOUS honeymoon was passed, and their
subsequent life was, so far as known, a
happy one.
THE GREEN-ETED MONSTER.
In his province as dancing-master Mr..
Bauer was brought into close association
with many young ladies, and his wife be-
gan to grow jealous OF her husband on ac-
count Of his attention to his pupils. Mr..
Bauer, however, says he never knew oil his
wife's unwarranted suspicious.
Last Tuesday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Bauer and Miss Katie Bauer, sister OF the
husband, went to Rockaway Beach, and
apparently passed pleasant day.
They returned in the evening, and after
tea was taken, at 8 O'Clock, Mrs. Bauer
went out to purchase meat for the next
DAVIS breakfast. When she returned she
went to her room, and was alone for some
time.
TAKING THE POISON.
About 9 o'clock Mr.. Bauer, who was in
the hall below, heard the voice OF his vile
saving: "Joe, come up here, quick"
He ran upstairs to find his wife groaning
on the bed why, May, what is the mat
ter?" he asked.
She did not speak at first, but on being
urged to explain replied: "Paris green.
had to do it, joe"
Uorrifed at such an announcement, MIR.
Bauer summoned DR.. Frederick Weygandt,
who responded Immediately and applied
several antedotes, which somewhat restored
the young wife. but she soon relapsed into
an alarming condition, aud her mother and
father were summoned.
The mother, on entering the room, eX-
claimed: ".Maly. what have you done
WHY didn't you come home II you intend
cd to do this z"
The young woman was silent. The Ia
ther then went to the bedside and Whis-
pered to his dying daughter.
As he turned away he said: 4" knew

What he meant is still unexplained, as he
would not talk about the matter. tits said
that he called some one "mean fellow,..,
and said :"Ah, I'll pay him for this il
Mary dies
Mrs. Bauer fingered until O'Clock yes
terday morning, when she died, without
giving any explanation OF her suicide.
Mr.. Bauer said last night that his wlie
had no cause for jealousy; that their MAJ :
ried life had been very happy, ana That
they had never quarrelled.
II was reported that Mrs. Bauer had had
some difficulty with her parents, the ma
ture OF which could not be learned.
