A MISSOURI TRAGEDY.

A Poplar Bluff Citizen, in a Fit of JealO usy
Kills His Wife and Then Himself-ThG
Shocking sight Which Greeted the Chill
dren of the Unfortunate Couple.
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, April 9.-The
most blood-curdling tragedy that ever
took place here was enacted last night al
80. Five shots in rapid succession
were heard in the upper story of Louis
Derry's building occupied above as
dwelling by Derry and family, which con.
sisted of himself and wife and two chill
dren, aged respectively six and eight
years. At the time of the shooting, Mr..
Derry's two children were playing in
the yard below. A lady called and
asked one of the children if theiL
mother was at home. The little girl
said she was, and scampered up the stairs
which leads to the upper floor. The lit
tie girl attempted to open the outside
door leading into the hall, but was at
first unable to 40 so. At last she sue
ceeded in crowding the door partly open,
and there lying in her own blood with heI
head against the door, was her mother
cold in death She ran back down the
stairs screaming;
Charles w. Ady, Collector of Butler
County, entered the room. There, ly-
ing stretched on the floor in an every
dav dress, which was saturated with
blood, was Mrs. Louis Derry. At the
opposite end of the hall, twelve feet
away, lay the body of Louis Derry.
Fully two gall ms of blood covered the
floor around him, and the scarlet fluid
had trickled down over his ghastly
countenance. He was dead, and the
natural heat had left his extremities.
Lying by his side was a 44-caliber Smith
&, Vesson revolver. In each chamber
was a blank cartridge. Evidently every
chamber had recently been fred. At his
feet lay a small 32-caliber revolver. Each
chamber was loaded.
An examination showed that a bullet
had penetrated the brain Of Louis Derry,
having entered underneath the chin. The
wound was a CHASTITY one, and bis brains
| had oozed out on the floor. Mrs. Derry s
! right hand was bruised and bloody, as II
/ she had thrown up her hands and received
/ the scratch from bullet that passed on
/ through her body, penetrating her heart.
| The indications are that she died without
| a struggle. She had been shot four times
through the body with the large revolver.
It is alleged that an intimacy had ex-
| listed for some time between Mrs. Derry
and another party, which drove her hus'
band to this double murder.
-Four years ago Derry shot and instant

was City Marshal He had arrested
| Dooly for some offense, and Dooly was
so offended that be, it was alleged, said
he would kill Derry. Derry, fearing bis
life was in danger, stepped into saloon
with a double-barreled fowling-piece and
shot Dooley, killing him instantly. Derry
was acquitted on the ground of self-de

Arrival and Reception Of the Prince and
princess of Wales in Dublin-Considera.
HE Enthusiasm Manifested.
DUBLIN, April 9.-The railway from
Kfngstown to Dublin was lined with a
strong force of police while the train
bearing the Prince and Princess of Wales
was passing. A great crowd had as
sembled at the railway station, and when
the train arrived, the police were unable
to prevent the people from breaking
through the Gordon, and were only
able to keep a space clear through
which their Royal Highnesses could
reach their carriage. The Prince shook
hands with scores of those
nearest to him, and the effect of this ac-
tion upon the crowd was electrical, fran
tic cheering being kept up in an unbroken
roar by the people. These manifesto
tions of enthusiasm continued as the car
riage passed slowly through the crowds
that lined the street all the way to the
Castle. The Prince afterward sent tel
erram to the Queen at Aix-Les-Baine,
Informing her that he had GLORIOUS re-

noon bus containing ten Pinkerton po-
lice drove from the works, where they
had been to assist in protecting properly.
On reaching the crowd the Pinkerton
men suddenly opened fire upon them,
and volIey after volley of shots was fired
in rapid succession. The traces of fifteen
bullets we're found in adjacent houses,
some of them barely missing women ana
children. One of the bullets struck an
aged man, George Roth, one of the
strikers, who is now lying at the point oil
death in his house, 659 Blue Islano AV-

wounded or killed is almost a miracle.
The men we're dumbfounded for a mo-

who was on the spot, gave the alarm fol

At an interview with the Postmaster
General, he stated to the reporter OF the
United Press that the Senate Committee
asked for and had sent to them the pa
Ders in the case, including the Inspectors
report, and the reason for their declining
to approve the proposed removal was un-
known to him, and could only be sur
missed. The facts are plainly shown by
The of1cial report of the Inspector
made during the term OF President
Arthur, and open to no suspicion
Of partisan or personal unfriendliness,
and are such, indeed, as hardly admit OF
explanation The President, in his letter,
has only mentioned those in respect to
which no opportunity Tor question was
Dpen. The removal was not proposed
for any other purpose than TO improve
the service, and the nominee is man
against whom no just obJecClon coulo
lie.
The Postmaster-Gener added that the
present may be a good opportunity to
saw that from evidences before him ne
believes a notion to be prevalent, and the
practice to be general accordingly, tnat
! Postmasters should have allowances 1or
| clerks sufficient to enable the business OF
their offices to be transacted chlehy oy
| them. while the Postmaster himself,
tbongh the best paid, should
be required to give no personal labor be-
| yond general supervision. This case
| illustrates what may happen from sucn
| practice, If the excuse of the Rome POST
| master be true in fact; and in every case
of default, the clerk or assistant will be
made the scapegoat. It is the intention
of the department to make careful
scrutiny of these allowances and re-
duce them when necessary, mate
rally, requiring the Postmaster
to give his personal time and attention to
| the duties of the Office and assist in thei1
| performances, except in those few larger
| offices where his time may be necessarily
required in general supervision. IL Il

will be much better served, and that
considerable reduction in annual expendi
