We copy the following from a report
OF the council proceedings in the Wood
bury Liberal Press:
j, G. Cloud presen ted a bill for oil furnished
the city. Council Dubois asked if it was legal
for a member of Council to be 4 party to 4 CON
tract with the city. Mr.. Jessup quoted the
law, which imposes a heavy fine or imprison-
ment for any violation of its provisions, On
motion, the bill was referred TO the Street
Committee to report at the next meeting.
4 letter from Councilman Cloud was read,
rendering his resignation as Il member OF
Council from the Second Ward. On motion
of Mr.. Jessup. the resignation was accepted.
Mr.. Cloud is a grocer, and like some of
our bookkeeping councilmen, doubtless
concluded he might as well work his posi-
ton for what there was in it, but unfortu-
nately struck a snag, and finally resigned
his office as councilman.
So far as we know Woodsfown's council
is still buying oil for the street lamps at II
cents per gallon, of one of their number,
when it can be bought by others in the
same quantities at 81 cents per gallon. If
this township or borough yves the council
man in question anything, why not pay
him Of, and buy their oil where they can
get it cheapest? 1t is not only a question
of money to be saved, but the present
course of council is in direct violation of
the law, plainly laid down in the statute
books, and makes them liable to the pen
atty.

IN China one can always borrow money
on the strength of haviug a son, but nobody
would advance him cent If he had dozen
daughters. The former is responsible for
the debt of his father for three generations.
The latter is only responsible for the debts
of her own husband.
OLD men play ball and fly kites, while
children fold their arms and look on. Old
women, instead of the young, are the IDOLS
of society. Love making is only done three
DAYS before marriage. 1t IS not only con
sidered the safest way TO get ahead OF a
rival but the surest way to get wife with
out losing much time.
WHEN a Chinaman meets another he
shakes and squeezes his own hands and
covers his head. If great friends had not
seen each other for n long time they would
rub shoulders until they got tired. Instead
Of asking each others health, they would
say: "How is your stomachf' or Have

a Woman aud Four Children Shot by Her
Frenzied Parimour at Somerset, Mass
The Mother and Her Eldest Boy Dead
RetrIbution Follows the Murderer While
Trying to Escape.
BOsToN, July ia horrible tragedy
was enacted in Someryille shortly after
midnight Friday. The victims are Mrs.
Catherine Smith, aged IS years, her son
Thomas aged II years, and the perpetrator
Of the terrible deed, Augustus Rosenberg,
while two other children of Mrs Smith
were injured, one of whom will die. The
murderer has been living with Mrs Smith
for about a year her husband but it is
the general belief that they were not mar
ried. The cause of the tragedy is not
known, although it is stated that Rosen-
berg has complained about the way he has
been treated in money matters by the
woman. II is supposed that recent
quarrel over their financial affairs was the
chief cause of the tragedy. The scene Of
the shooting was at the corner of Dane
street and Dane conrt, Somerville. The
ground floor is used rs a provision and
grocery store; the business having been
carried on by ms Smith since the disap-
pearance OF her husband Charles Smith),
who is supposed to have committed suicide
by jumping from the Portland steamer
about year ago.
Near neighbors were aroused at about |
o'clock by a number of pistol shots, and the
police were promptly notified The police
entered the front door and encountered
the dead body of Thomas Smith,
who received his wound probably up
stairs and succeeded in reaching the
lower landing before falling. A bullet had
entered his forehead He was the eldest
OF the children. of which there were five.
Mrs Smith was found in bed The
indications were chat she was shot while
asleep. The bah entered the right tenn
pie All the children occupied rooms in the
attic, the second floor being used for gen.
eral domestic purposes and one room by
Mrs. Smith and Rosenberg Thomas slept
alone Willie, aged - and Augustus, aged
{. slept together in room by themselves.
The former was shot through the
body The wound in all probability
will prove fatal Augustus was shot in the
mouth; the physicians think his recovery
possible They boy, Charles, aged years,
was slightly wounded He was in bed with
his little sister Mabel, year younger Five
shots for five persons, four of them fatal,
shows great deliberatIon on the part of the
murderer
Rosenber,. met his death in most pecul-
lar and UnintentiOnal manner while
attempting to escape from the scene of his
fiendish work. In trying to scale a fence
at the end of lane through which he
ran, the doctor thinks he fell on a pile
of railroad sleepers lying beside the
Fitchburg tracks, and struck his head on a
spike, which fractured his skull and in
etantly killed him. DIR. Durrell says there
is no doubt that he was crazy. The house
where the murders occurred has been all
day surrounded by a crowd of curious peo-
