lowing particulars Of tragedy: AT
Bloomfield, the WorthingtOn Home
stead in Worthington valley, two miles
from this place, last night, the invalid
wife of Louis Lawrence Conrad, the
we'll known Baltimore lawyer, In tit
Of insanity caused by disease, shot her
husband, who was sleeping by her side,
through the head. killing him instant.
ly, The affair In all its details Is sad
and shocking. Mrs. Conrad Is cousin
of Mr.. Samuel Hanson, who recently

of John Tolly Johns and his brother,
Richard, both of whom committed
suicide. All were suffering from in.

Mr.. Conrad and his wife, who has
been a confirmed invalid for years, came
to Bloomfield, where her mother, Mrs.
Mary G. WorthiDgton, and her broth.
er, John Tolly Worthington, live, on
Saturday, to spend the summer. Mrs.
Conrad has for years suffered excessive
ly from neuralgia of the stomach, which
has produced nervousness and insom-
mia. Mr.. Worthington brought Mr..
Conrad's mail to him from Baltimore
last evening, and when he got home
Mrs. Conrad was almost frantic with
pain.
While Mr.. Conrad was reading his
letters, Mr.. Worthington held his sister
in his arms. She frequently called her
husband to come to her, and said she
could not bear to have him leave her.
When tea was announced, Mrs. Conrad
said she was so nervous that she could
not sit down and she walked up and
down the room. She took little cream,
and then held her bowed faced in her
hands, saying it made her pain even
more intense. Mr.. Conrad asked her
several times how she felt. "Oh, my
love-" she answered, "my nerves are
setting me Wild" Shortly after that
Mr.. Conrad gave her an inhalation of
oxygen, which had been recommended
bv Philadelphia doctors. This was
given her for five minutes. About ten
o'clock he gathered up the things he
used for her comfort during the night
and started mp stairs, carrying a light,
while her brother.in law followed car
rying Mrs. Conrad in his arms.
llHe then left the room and Mrs
Worthington and Mr.. Conrad proceed
ed to prepare the invalid for bed. Be-
tween 10 and II o'clock Mr. Worthing'
ton went to the door of the sick cham.
ber, and got lamp to sit in the hal
door. Mr.. Conrad gave it to him and
this was the last time he ever saw
his brother-in-law alive. About 1921
o'clock Mrs Conrad ran screaming in
to her mothers room, which adjoin'
the one occupied by herself and hel
husband. She was terribly excited aDc
cried out
ooh My God, l have hurt Mr.
Conrad" Mrs. Worthington, who i
old and infrm, go, out of bed, and
followed by her daughter, proceeded
to the other room. Here, to her hor
ror, she found her son-in.law dead, thu
blood trickling from a wound in thu
head back of the left ear, and Rem
ington revolver of 32-lOO calibre on the
bed. Death had been instantaneous
The relations between Mr.. Conrad
and hia wife have always been Of the
INST tender and friendly character. They
had been married IA years.

A Fortune for Four Wives.

Ambitious of raising healthy
and beautiful offspring, but un-
certain of success and difficult as
to- the choice OF nationality, a
Greek merchant in the city of
New York decided to marry
four women, and did SO. He
selected an English woman, a
Spanish, a German, and French
woman. In order to prevent
any claim OF priority among them,
the marriage ceremonies were all
performed on the same day,
the 18th of November, 1870,
and in different rooms of the
hotel where the marrying Greek
had rooms, having previously
advised the blushing brides that
important business necessitated
his leaving the city for a couple
OF weeks. The pretended cab
sence on business" was well EN-.
ployed in the disposition Of the
necessary arrangements fol
housekeeping. and one after the
other of his wives were duly in
stalled in separate establishments,
of course each under another
name, but none of them under
his right one. Frequent "busi-
ness trips had to be made am ong
the wives, hence the lord and
husband always bad three Of
them believing him to be on q
business trip" while enjoying
the home comforts of number
four, continually changing base e,
For twelve years he pursued this
course and during all that time
he managed to appear to his male
acquaintances as a jolly bachelor
A short time ago he died, leaving
a fortune of 1900, 900, which
according to a will, is to b.
equally divided among the foul
widows, who now shed $500, 00(
tears in his memory.

When a man kills rattlesnake
he cuts off the rattles, puts them
in his vest pocket. and carries
them about with him for a few
days, hauls them out at every
opportunity, and adds couple
OF inches to the snakes length
every time he tells the story.
After awhile he gets tired of the
rattles, as does every one else,
and he gives them away. The
man who takes them adds to his
sins by telling that he killed the
snake, and adds the regular two
inches to the tail When, he ex-

awhile they find their way to some

What the rattlesnake is created
for is a mystery. He is noisy at
one end and poisonous at the
other. He does not like man,
nor does man like him. Let him
alone and he will let you alone.
But he will not be set down upon
with impunity. Thus far man
