photographic communication, which

A Boy Murders His Sweetheart and Kills
Himself.

NEW YORK, June 26.--The occu-
pants of first-class apartment house
in West Thirty-fourth street were
startled early this morning by a
tragedy among the servants. Joseph
Seifort, a hall boy, went into the
kitchen of George Nugent's apart
ment at $50 o'clock and asked Rosa
Sheridan, the cook, to marry him.
She refused him and he shot her
dead, and then placing the muzzle OF
the Revolver back of his own ear in
flicted a fatal wound upon himself.
This tragic occurrence was the end
of brief but impetuous courtship by
the young German hall boy. He had
insisted so strenuously upon her
marrying him that his attentions be-
came seriously annoying, and the
girl complained to her employer, who
yesterday obtained from Seifort a
promise that he would desist.
The murdered girl was about 10
years old and very pretty. Seifort
was 20 years of age. Neither of
them had any relatives in this city.

discovered bad leak in the boiler of

on Sunday Mr.. John Farrin and two

pairing the same, and clearing the
boiler of the sediment that had cak-
ed in it, The water board has de
termined, we understand, that it is
necessary to have an additional boil
er put in, so that in case of accident
it would not be necessary to stop the
engine, as the water wheels at low
water, do not furnish sufficient pow
er to throw water in case of fire. If
this is so it is to be hoped that no
motives Of false economy will prompt

furnish first class one made right
