Messr,. Bergstrom Il lIeustis have
been the victims of n plant" Two
gentlemen % called day or two ago at
their stables and hired buggy and the
best pair OF horses. Mr.. Jackson, one OF
the men, said he was staying here to buy
some property for permanent location,
his wife being delicate. They drove to
the San Pedro Springs and returned.
Yesterday the same pair and buggy
were let out to them again, it being pro-
posed to go TO the misSiens. One of the
conditions attached TO the hire OF this
special team of horses is that the hirer
must return them by O'Clock in the
evening. When : o'clock came and
the horses were not returned Mr..
Ileustis got uneasy and made inquiries
about the city, but he could not find any
one who had seen the horses or buggy
all day. His suspicious being thoroughly
aroused they were much strengthened
when he found that other hacks. etc.,
that had gone TO the missions that after
noon knew nothing of the buggy nor the
horses, not having seeen them there.
On lodging this information, Deputy
sheriff Krawitz telegraphed this morn

wires caused by the storm. communion

There he found the horses and buggy
had passed through on the road to
Fredericksburg. The loss to Messrs.

cry OF surprise, and, taking her hand,
kissed the tips of her fingers. Guido Ven
tura who was talking to the manager,
turned and suddenly grew very pale. The
man who had just entered wac rich
Yankee, whose attentions to Miss Ara
bella had made some noise In New York.
1t was because of him particularly that
the marksman had made his engagement
In Paris and hastened his departure from
America. But this man now had taken
notion to follow them. As soon as he had
ascertained where she had gone he had
taken passage upon the next steamer. That
night as she was returning to her dress
ing-room Guido Ventura made u terrible
scene with his companion. But the most
terrible scene took place some nights later.
That night, when Arabella was preparing
to assume her pages dress for the per-
formance, Guido Ventura saw paper fall
from her corsage.s He picked 1t up and
read it; 1t was love letter, proposing to
tho young girl an elopementand marriage
the next day. When he came down Into
the foyer, the marksman had knitted
brows and quivcring lip. He took pts-
tol and aimed at his own image in mirror
to try his hand. His hand did not tremoie.
Eve minutes after lie was on the stage,
commencing his exercise. As he turned
he saw behind him in the coulisse the
American leaning against flat. Just Mt
that instant Miss Arabella planted herself
in front of him, her arms folded, her nut
shell on her head. She smiled. On whom
was she smiling? On tho man who was
there behind him. Suddenly, her eyes
having moved, she ceased to smile AMI n
shadow passed across her vsage. Stand
ing before her Guido Ventura took aim
full at her forehead. The report rang out
and Miss Arabella fell dead upon the
boards. When they tore from his arms the
corpse that he was desperately clasping
to his bosom, Guido Ventura was q mad
man. Was ii crime? Was 1t an accl-
dent? In Paris the dead are speedily out
of mind. The first excitement over, pco-
pie forgot the two Heroes of this bloody
drama. Since that time Guido Ventura
has been here, in my establishment, pass
ing half his days aiming at that plaster
mask. Once he chanced to break it. For
week afterwards he was delirious. But
he is inoflensive, as you can see.
We returned to the pavilion and found
the marksman loading his weapons.
"No. shot missed the mark, eh?" said
the doctor to him in an affIblc tone.
The man raised his head, and, pointing
with his hand to the plaster mask, an
swered in hollow voice:
"Not one! Always in the centre of the
forehead!'

The Ansonia brass band, accompanied by
several citizens Of Ansonia and Birmingham,
gave serenade to Mr.. j. H. Tingue, OF Sey-
mour, on Wednesday evening. Mr.. Tingue
is proprietor Of the Tingue Manufacturing
company, makers of mohair plush and the
only factory of the kind in the United States.
The citizens of Seymour are fortunately
complimented in the selection of Seymour as
the site of the extensive works of Mr.. Tin
que, as the large wealth of the proprietor is
one of the means of furnishing remunerative
labor to many of the towns people. The
band played several choice selections and the
vocal music rendered was pronounced
beautiful" In return for the musical
visit, Mr.. Tingue had prepared an
expensive and elaborate banquet with the Ad-
dition of rare and choice wines and cigars.
There were present William Kellogg of the
Bassett House. Birmingham; Mr.. Smith of
the W. d L. Hotchkiss Lumber Co., Anso-

More Domestic Trouble.

William b. Ives Arrested for Attempting
to Shoot Bis WHO.
There seems to be an unpleasant jealousy
existing between William B. Ives and his
wife, which resulted in his arrest yesterday
afternoon. Ives is Joiner by trade and
works for Kinney & Phelps. He has the rep
utatior of being an Industrious man and is
about fifty-three years of age. Mrs. Ives
claims that he is jealous without cause and
after scolding considerably drew pistol and
threatened to shoot her. AS she is large,
muscular woman she succeeded in getting
.he pistol away. Then she rushed into the
street and gave the alarm which resulted in,
Mr.. Ivss being brought to the station house
in the patrol. wagon. The prisoner claims
that a man who formerly boarded in his
house named Smith Edwards was the cause
of all the trouble. ..After talking with his wife
about it she promised to have nothing to do
with the man and he left. Tuesday morning
Mr. Ives learned that his wife had been walk
ing the night before with Smith. The news
so preyed upon his mind that he could not
sleep and SO he spoke to her about it. She
rushed up to him and threw him to the door
and took the pistol out of his pocket. which
he had not attempted to use. All the cham
bers in the pistol we're loaded. The matter
will be brought before the City court this
morning.
