borer who resided with his wife and family
in this city, killed one of his children, YES.
terday morning, a girl three years old, by
cutting her throat with a razor, and then
ended his W life in a like manner The
deed was the outcome of a quarrel with his
wife, which started the previous night.
The cause OF the tragedy was the refusal
OF Mrs. Dietz to send for her eldestdaughter
Lena, who vas living as a domestic, to
come home. Dietz wanted the wife to live
out and the daughter to take her place.
After driving Mrs. Dietz and all the children
but the baby from the house, Dietz sent a
message to Lena that if she was not at
home in an hour, he would kill everyone in
the family. She did not obey him, and the
refusal OF the others to return, probably
alone prevented the monster from putting
bis threat int execution.

were subsequently sold at full value TO in
nocent purchasers, including members ol
the Vanderbilt and Aston families. 1t ID
believed the frauds will aggregate a quarter
OF a million.
This fact and the heretofore high stand

Gals. It is not expected that anything
further will be done until Secretary Win.

The facts in the case are embodied in a
report sent to Washington last night, and
no arrests have yet been made.
At the warerooms OF Allard & Sons, this
morning, W. Fl. Secor, counsel for Allards
& Roulez, said: "This whole affair is an
