A Double Tragedy.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. ga shocking
tragedy was enacted here this morning,
Gustav Winkler, a young German, shoot
ing his wife and then committing sui
eide. Death is thought to have been
instantaneous in both cases, though the
discovery of the bodies was not made
Cured. The neighbors' attention was
first attracted by the crying of the
Winkler children. Winkler was a
painter by trade and had been in this
country but few months. His mind
was known to have been somewhat de-
ranged, and this, together with domestic
troubles, is supposed to have led to the
deed. He is a nephew of Christian
Preusser, wealthy and influential citi-
zen of this city, who had contributed
largely to his support.

SACRIFICED HIS LIFE
To Protect Bank From Being
Robbed

BANGOR, Me-, Feb. 25.-In the Stain
Cromwell trial to-day President Brad
bury, of the Dexter Savings bank, was
recalled by the government. He stated
that on the 25th of March, 1878, he had
printed and distributed circular stat
ing that Barron sacrificed his life to
protect the bank from robbery. This
statement was true to the best of his
knowledge. The circular was issued
before his knowledge of the false ac-
counts and erasures. Oliver Blanch-
ard, of Gardiner, agent of
the Kennebunk Steamboat company,
testified that he never knew
the boat to arrive at 5 O'Clock, as testi-
fed to by young Stain. Counsel for
the defense submitted to witness re-
ceipt, dated Nov. 20, for a double-seat
beach wagon. signed in lead pencil by
B. c. Cranborne. Witness said the re-
celpt appeared to be recently, and that
the same item OH the way-bill appeared
as "a horse and carriage" This created
quite a sensation in court, as it might
indicate that the receipt had been tam
pered with. Young Stain had testified
that he met his father, Cromwell and
Scott on Nov. 20, 1877, with two-seat
beach wagon, and that the wagon was
taken to Gardiner on the boat.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Feb. 25.-The
Daily Leader has the following: 1t is
learned on undoubted authority from a
respectable family living in WestvilIe,
suburb of this city, that shortly after
supper time last night the door of their
house was opened and in dashed a gaily-
dressed young woman, sixteen or seven
the same costume one sees in the corps

Hide me, hide me-" exclaimed the
girl, they are after me-"
''Who is after you?" was asked.
She then told a frightful story, how
she had been deceived by false prom
iSes at Minneapolis that she would
get employment at big wages in
Eau Claire. In this way she was coaXed
to go to the notorious Mackey house of
ill-fame near this city. All her clothes
were taken and locked up and short
dress given her instead. She told the
Westville family she dared not stay so
close to the Mackey house, and when it
grew dark she started for the city. The
Westville people are convinced she was
pursued and taken back to the Mackey
house. Barker, the present proprietor
Of the place, called at the Leader Office
and admitted the girl had been taken
back, but claimed she owed the house
SO which she could not pay. The mat
ter is being investigated tonight. The
place is about four miles out of town.

MANITOBA LEGISLATURE.
1t Will Meet Thursday to Finish
Up Delayed Business.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Feb. 25.-The provincial
legislature will meet Thursday next for
the purpose of completing business
transactions which were delayed by the
change of government. The session,
though probably a short one, is likely
to be decidedly interesting, as there
will be not only further railroad legiS-
lation, but also redistribution and fran
chise bills. If the new government is
careful of its own interests it will put
through the legislation it considers nee
essary with all possible speed, and have
dissolution as soon as possible, 1t is
quite evident that the Conservatives
have seriously injured themselves in
public estimation by compromise"
proposals, and that there is a DISPOSE
ton to give the Greenway government
a very generous support in its efforts to
secure the construction of the Red
River Valley railroad. Just now, there
fore, Greenwayites have decidedly the
whip hand. This the Conservatives
recognize, and it is almost certain that
desperate efforts will be made to re-
move the present handicap, either by
the adoption of more popular tactics or
by removal of the cause of diScord.
