They Died in Each Others Arms.

Fresno, CAL, Aug. l9.--Yesterday morning
the wife of Attorney W. II. Tupper of this city
knocked at the door of her servant girl. Eliza
beth Vernon, to ask her to bring in breakfast.
Receiving no response she opened the door and
saw tho girl and her lover, Andrus Olsen living
clasl>d IN each others arms. The g. ri was dead
and Olsen died in few minutes On the table
near by was found an empty bottle that had
contained poison. The most plausible reason
for the suicide seems to be that the couple de-
sired to be married, but their love affairs were
interfered with by another party who was a
constant visitor to the house.

Lord Salisbury says that England will do
