Killed His Wife.

BOSTON, Mass, April 23.-James Nichol-
son, for many years President of one Of the
oldest boating associations at the north
end, separated from his wife Ellen about
three months ago. Yesterday he entered
her fathers house, and laughingly taking
his fifteen months cid child in his arms
tossed it in the air. Then with loving
caress he asked it which it loved best. Just
then Mrs. Nicholson entered, and talk
ing the child, asked her husband to
follow her into an adjoining room.
Five minutes later angry words were heard,
followed by pistol-shot and woman's
piercing scream. Mrs. Nlcholson's brother
rushed into the room, and found her lying
upon chair, with the child in her arms,
and a bleeding bullet-wound in her breast
AS the young man threw himself before her
and her husband, Nicholson muttered: ''Let
me finish her, /" and fired a second shot over
the young mans shoulder. The ball pene-
trated the woman's heart, and she fell
dead to the floor Her child, which she
threw half across the room in her dying
agony, lay screaming upon the carpet
Nicholson exclaimed: IT am murderer
and putting his pistol into his pocket
bounded out of the house and escaped. Up
to late hour last night he was still free.
He had been drinking before he went to the
house.

A Fatal Duel.

BALTIMORE, Md, April IA fatal duel
was fought Monday at Cockeysville, small
town in Baltimore County, the principals
being two brothers-in-law named Charles
Brown and Joshua Gill. The fight was
brief and bloody. The distance was so
short that the antagonists, thirsting for each
others blood, could almost have touched
each others finger-tips had they stretched
out their arms to full length, and they
glared at each other like wild beasts, their
intense hatred being observable even at this
dread moment
But two shots were exchanged, and, as
the second bullet sped out of Gills gun
Brown dropped mortally wounded. While
physician was examining the bleeding
wound in his breast Mrs. Brown arrived on
the scene. My husbandr' she shrieked,
wildly, and fell PROSTATE on the body Of the
dying man.
Gill has since been arrested. The cause
OF the duel was an old feud that arose be-
tween the two number of years ago out
of dispute over some property. It has
been intensified since by family quarrels.
Both parties to the mortal combat are citi-
zens of prominence, and belong to one Of
the best families in the county.

them in a piece of paper left them on
the dining room mantel. A relative, a

crumpled bit Of paper on the mantel,
threw it into the kitchen stove. The
next day the owner of the diamonds
asked if any one had seen a bit of pa
per on the mantel. the careful house.
keeper stated what she had done with
it, and then two anxious ladies got the
ashes out of the stove and proceeded to
pass them through -four sieve. When
about half the stuff had been emptied
on the sieve small black and yellow
chunk rolled over the edge of the coal
scutvle. 1t was a very warm piece of
gold, and was all that remained of the
setting. A little more raking and two
diamonds rolled out Of the ashes. They
were little dusty, but when cool
