FRENZIED JEALOUSY.

A Husbands Face Mutiiatrd with II Brok-
en- Champa gne Bottle, by His Wife, while
Waiting with "a Rival.
LYNDHURsT, N. j., Oct. 2S.-Edward
Parsons, of this place, was assaulted last
night by his wife, to whom he had been
married but two months. The wounds
were inflicted with broken champagne
bottle, and the cause was jealousy.
trifie over year ago. Parsons, who is
young man about twenty years
old, good-looking and blessed with
plenty of money, came to this town from
the West. He opened shoe store and
made more money than ali the other
stores combined. Naturally he was much
sought after by mothers having mar
riageable daughters. 1t is said many
of the daughters soon fell deeply
in love with the handsom"
and prosperous merchant. Only
two, however, seemed to have any place
in his affections. These were Miss Elcr
Pritchard and Miss Carrie Thompson.
Both are pretty and both well off Ellen
was twenty last January, and Carrie the
same age in February. Both, it is said,
were deeply in love with Parsons. Two
months ago Parsons married Ellen and
went to housekeeping.
1t was not long before she learned that
while she was looking after her domestic
duties Carrie was being entertained in
the store by Edward. She is a proud
little woman, aud re,rained from telling
her husband of her discovery.
Tuesday evening n ball was given In
the Delaware Hotel, and Parsons and
his wife were among those present. So
was Miss Carrie. During the evening,
while Parsons and Miss Carrie were
WALKING, Parsons wife gave way to her
feelings to such an extent that she tried
to interfere. The husband demonstrated
and led his wife to seat, after which he
resumed his waltzing. As the couple
whirled by Mrs. Parsons again she
picked up an empty champagne
bottle from the table, and, after
breaking it, held the neck and
rushed at her husband with the rugged
bottle. She stabbed him about the face
and neck. The whole thing was done
quickly that no one had chance to IN
terfere. Parsons nose was nearly sew
cred from his face, while his neck and
face were painfully cut. A physician who
was called pronounced the wounds Sc
rious, and the husband was removed to
the Peterson Hospital. His wife Ian
guislies in the county Jail at Hackensack,
awaiting thy result of her husbands in
iurieS.

A DESPERATE DUEL.

Two Brothers-in-Law Engage in DaeA
With Corn Knives, Resulting In the Seri-
wounding of Both, One of Them
Fatally-An About a Woman.
HAMMERBURG, N. j.. Oct. 28.-Edward
vough and james Pitney are brothers-in-
law and live in the same house, just on
the outskirts of the town. little over
year ago Pitney's wife, who was
Vough's sister. died, and for q time Pit
ney mourned her loss. It was almost
month after his wife's death that Mrs.
Lily Henderson, of Albany, N. Y, arriv-
ed here. Her visit was lengthy one,
and when she returned to her home she
took with her the love of both Pit
new and Vough Mrs. Henderson IS
widow, very pretty and well educated.
While on her visit she received pro-
posal from Pitney, whom she refused.
Her refusal angered Pitney, and he called
her tickle and said she was coQuette.
Vough objected to her being called names,
and his objection resulted in quarrel
between the two men. This quarrel W
frequently renewed. and, in fact, every
time they mentioned her name an angry
dispute resulted.
Yesterday they were both cutting corn
as usual, they began to quarrel about the
woman. Vough became so angry that
he challenged Pitney to fight and to
settle the matter forever. Pitney agreed,
and suggested that they fight 1t out just
as they were with their corn-cutters
as weapons. Vough consented ana
In a moment they were siashing each
other with the cutters. For fully five
minutes they cut aud lodged until Vough
fell to the ground exhausted, while the
blood flowed from a dozen wounds about
his face and body. Pitney made no effort
to assist him, hut walked iEto the house
to attend to his own wounds.
Half an hour later John Grafe,
neighbor, called, and when he saw
Vough's condition he asked Pitnev what
the trouble was, and the latter only re.
piled: "Only little trouble over that
woman Henderson,"
The neiehbor Immediately summoned
a physician and constable. The latter
arrested Pitney and lodged him in the
county Jail, where he is held to await
the result of his victims injuries. The
physician who examined Vough said
there was no possible hope for his re-
covery. Pitney treats the matter lightly,
and justifies himself by saying that
Vough provoked him to the fight.
