SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
A SENSATIONAL Tragedy.

KANSAS CRY, June 16.-W. L. Thomp-
son, who killed his wife and b shot
himself, in New York City this afternoon,
is a son of Rev. DIR. Thompson, pastor OF
the Second Presbyterian Church of this
city, who left here this morning for New
York, expecting to sail in a few days for
Europe, where he intended to spend sew
eral months Of vacation. The theory sug.
gested here is that Thompson has been
clandestinely married, and for some rea-
son, fearing to face the consequences, he
determined to seek an escape rather than
meet his father. Thompson had for some
time been engaged to q young lady, who
moves in the best social circles Of Kansas
CITY, and the sad tragedy will doubtless
cause a sensation when it becomes known
here tomorrow.
LArER-A dispatch from New York says:
". L. Thompson, the young bridegroom
who killed his wife at the Sturtevant
House here yesterday and fred Jour bullets
into his own body, did not die during the
night. At moor to-day he was resting
quietly under the influence Of morphine
after an un0lstnrDed nlBnt.

supposed that Mr.. Frye, of Maine, knew
as much about this subject as any man in
the United States. Everything that legis-

MOI According TO Programme.
RACINE, Wis. June 16.-An attempt was
made last night to assassinate M. M.
secor, proprietor Of an extensive trunk es-
Enlistment of this city, by placing q
dynamite bomb in the driveway OF his
yard. There must have been some hitch In
the programme. as Secor drove through
about 1890 o'clock, and had stabbed his
horse and gone into his house before the
explosion occurred. John Jambers, q Bo-
hemian OF Milwaukee, was severely injured
by the explosion, and left q trail OF blood
through town, which was plainly visible
o-day. Warrant has been issued for his
arrest, The greatest excitement prevailed
The explosion was terrible. and was heard
by residents all over the city. Jambers is
severely hurt, both of his legs and his
body being frightfully cut. He claims that
he was on his way to the depot. and when
opposite the residence of Secor the explo-
sion occurred. Portions Of the bomb are
now in the hands Of the police, from which
10 appears the bomb was at least eight
inches in diameter. Secor served one term
as Mayor. No reasons for the attempt upon
his life is known.
