A SHOCKING STORY.
What the Death of Mans Wife Broug ht
to Light.

DOVER, N. H., july IL.
City Marshal Batchelder of Lawrence
Mass, telegraphed this forenoon to the city
marshal here to arrest Geo. A. Tucker on the
charge of bigamy. Tucker is the party whose
wife died here Saturday, from an overdose of
oil of tansy. He TOOK her body to North
Andover, Mass, last night for interment
Tucker is so poor that an undertaken had to
pay his fare to Andover to 90 with the body.
He left furniture and tools as guarantee for
payment.
When Tucker left here with his dead
wife's body he had not the slightest notion of
going to North Andover The body was
taken off the train at North Andover and re-
mained in the depot all night, Tucker getting
off at some other depot. The body was
placed in the receiving vault today by order
of the selectmen. AT first it was thought he
was wanted on one case Of bigamy, but there
are two women living who claim him for their
husband Since fuckers unsavory conduct
became known here, many think he caused
his wife to drink an overdose of oil of tansy
so as to get rid of her.
Before boarding the train last evening he
told Undertaken Ward that he believed that
if a man married n second while his wife
was alive and his second wife died before he
was arrested, he could not be convicted of
the crime of bigamy.
Saturday night Tucker told a prominent
citizen who gained his confidence, that his
dead wife had a remarkable career; that
once, when detective was taking her from
Boston to Fitchburg, to hold her as a witness
in an important case, he allowed her to visit
the water closet when she jumped through
the window while the train was going 35
miles an hour. She escaped unhurt and was
not recaptured.

The Duke of Argyle Thinks Americans
are Ignorant of lrelaud's Needs.

LONDON, July l2.
The Duke Of Argyle publishes in Mondays
Times a letter concerning the United States
and Ireland. He says that despite national
sympathy there is profound ignorance in
England and the Usited States respecting
each Others constitution. He admits his own
Ignorance at the beginning Of the American
civil war was in sympathy with the South. lie
says the sympathy of Americans for the Irish
in their present struggle arises from the error
of thinking of Ireland as q State and that
the English are Withholding from ireland
similar rights to those possessed by different
states of the American Union. "Nothine,"
says the Duke, "could be more erroneous
than this idea" Referring TO the right of
each of the United States to due share of
the general powers of Congress and to checks
on its powers of self government which each
state allows, he says; "Gladstone's proposal
violates both these grand principles for cor
rupt and immorai bargain, banishes Ireland
frem the imperial counsels and surrenders
the minority entirely to the control of q local
majority. Americans. he adds, would per-
haps hardly believe this, but it is strictly
true. The Duke then appeals 10 Americans
to clearly understand the unionists' conten-
ton, namely that it has been for Irelsnds
sake solelv the unionists have given opposi-
tion to Gladstone's Irish scheme.
Neither party has made any gains in the
elections today. The tories have now elect
ed POI candidates, unionists 66, liberals l54,

Negotiations between Lord Harrington and
Lord Salisbury are in progress. Ii is re-
ported that Harrington has pledged himself
to support Sslisbury's local government bill
aud TO reject all approaches of Gladstone. IL
Gladstone remains in Office the first move of
the unionists will be the vote OF want of con-
idence
In speech foreshadowing the conserva-
tive policy, Michael Hicks Beach said that
the first measure would be to suppress the
Irish national league, exercise closure. and
suspend Irish obstructionists.
