HIS Vile Co Death and Then Ends Hi,
DIVA Life by ffangiag-The Motive fas
the Horrible. Deed "a Mystery.
CHICAGO. July 3f.-A horrible double
tragedy was uuearthed shortly before
midnight by officers OF the Desplaines
Street station. On the second floor CT
No. $50 South SanSamon street lay the
bodies of Henry Hush, retired saloon
keeper, :snd his wife. Both were past
middle age, aud were looked upon by
their nelghbors as particularly happy
couple. They were last seen Saturday
evening sitting on the front stoop, and tc
all appearances as pleasantly disposed
towards each other as could be imagined.
Sunday morning the newsboy left the
paper and the milkman tho days supply
of milk. Lying neglected at the back
door of the fat these objects first
attracted the attention of the
neighbors. Finally the attention of the
police was brought to the mysterious cir.
cumstances, and officers forced an en-
trance to the house. Officers Hartford
and Daley broke open the front bedroom
door and sickening sight met their
view. In the alcove of the bedroom. ly-
ing in pool of blood, lay the body OF
Mrs. Hush, clad in night dress. Pro-
CEt0iuS W AoAt tile OlnCSTS per-
ceived q rope tied over the top of the door
frame. A vigorous push at the door aud
it burst open, and the body of Hush was
found hanging suspended, the feet al
most touching the floor. Near by sheet
Of newspaper daubed with blood and
butchers knife suggested the story of tn
double tragedy.
Hush had evidently first killed his wife.
then wiped the knife, cut off a piece Of
rope exactly long enough to reach from
the door knob on the inside over the door
frame, and to allow sufficient space for
himself to hang He had tied the rope,
shut the door, and proceeded to his self
murder. His body was also clad in
night shirt, showing that the couple ha
retired for the night before the cause for
the fatal deed had arisen. No reason can
be assigned for the tragedy. Every
thing around the room bespoke comfort
and there was no indication of any strug-
gle prior to the murder and suicide.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-During the heavy
thunderstorm yesterday evening, light
ming struck one Of the twenty stables of
the Union Stock Yards g. Transit Com
pany, at Halstead and Forty third streets.
The flames communicated to second
barn, and both were destroyed, together
with their contents, and twenty horses
which were rendered manageable by
the smoke, and could not be led from
their stalls. The loss is $4,000; fully in
sured. Had it not been for the heavy
rain which was falling, and which aided
the efforts of the fire department, it is
probable that the entire twenty barns
would have been burned, rs they are only
separated from each other by a few feet.
