Horrible Domestic Tragedy in
Paris.
SCANDAL.
The Great Hue and Cry Raised by the
stPau Mall azette's" Articles
on the Aristocracy.

PARIS, July 9.-Par1s is excited this even
ing over a horrible Boulevard tragedy just
reported to the police. Architect Coudray'
although married and having children,
maintained a liason with Nine. Bessler, the
wife of a s~hopkeeper OF Boulevard Voltalre
and who had an amiablc husband and t
full daughter. The love- quarrelled, and
to-day, during the shopkeeper's absence
from his place ~of business, Coudray called
upon Nine. Bessier and with a pistol shot
her in the head. He then ended his W
life by putting a bullet through his heart.
M. Bessier soon afterwards returned to his
shop and stumbled over the dead. He
never believed the stories he had heard
about his wife's infidelty and the revelation
came upon him SO suddenly that his mind
broke down and he fled from the scene a
raving maniac, yelling his shame up and
down Boulevard Voltaire. When the po-
lice overpowered him he made them under
stand and the corpses were taken away
from the shop. No living person knows
why the suicide killed his mistress. 1t is
thought that NJ. Bessier will never recover
his sanity.

Several miners in from Burlington speak
in the highest terms Of the mining pros
poets of that district. Work at the Blue
Bird mine is being carried on with vigor.
The ledge has just been struck on the 300
foot level, and is found to be lar richer
than it was on the upper levels. The lucky
owners of the Blue Bird are far from being
blue over the prospects OF their property,
The Olsen brothers are working the
Narrow Guage mine with encouraging re-
suits. The main shaft is now down SO feet
and the ledge at that point assays sixty
ounces in silver. Stopping has been COM
menced on the ledge at the bottom OF the
shaft, and the work OF sinking is being

Of success. Mr.. Kelley then played

deserving OF great praise, as every act they

not confined to one act, but do eight or ten

visited the coast for years. They are now
filling a very successful engagement OF
eight weeks at Fred Ritchie's Arion Halle,

Watson are two of the best end men in the
