GRIMES and ACCIDENTS.
DOUBLE TRAGEDY


AuRrRx, n. Y, March 10.
A frightful double tragedy occurred at No.
Frances street just before noon to day.
Joseph Resell. his wife and two chillren
aged and l2 years lived in the house. 1t is
supposed that the parents had an alteration
in the kitchen about young man who re-
Gently boarded with them, when Resell pro-
duced a revolver and shot his wife in the
region of the heart. The woman started for
a neighbor,s. In scaling fence she fell to
the ground dead. The neighbors visited the
house and found Resell stretched upon his
back upon the kitchen floor, with bullet in
his heart. The children were up stairs dur
ing the shooting, and leaped from the second
story window. Resell was a German about
~ years of age, and up to within few
months was a driver for a brewery. He
fell from his wagon one day and broke his
shoulder, since which time he has been out
of employment and of late drinking heavily.
1t is supposed that his brain was afe cted.
Not much credence is put in the rumor of
his wife's intidelty. Her age is 3S. Not
long ago she found keen edged knife con-
cealed in the house which she broke and
threw away. Resell was never known to
possess revolver before. young man
who boarded with them had overheard his
name mentioned by Resell in upbraiding his
wife two days before. Yesterday he packed
his effects and left of his own accord.

The all absorbing topic at the present time
is the election to be held on the 18th, to see
whether the State constitution shall be
amended in section 5, which provides that
neither malt or spirituous liquors shall be
manufactured or sold in the State. Meetings
have been held oy those in favor Of suppress
ing liquor.
SUNDAY morning in the services of one of
our prominent churches the pastor referred
to the prohibition movement by saying that
he was a temperance man and in favor of
prohibition if it prohibited; but it wouldn'',
and that high license would do more
toward suppressing the evil than anything
He also said that he had resided in city
where the prohibitory law was in effect and
more drunkea eaness prevailed than in our city
with all its saloons.

Editor Kennebee journal,
1t was with the deepest regret to hundreds
of the intelligent farmers of the great Ken
nebec valley that the honorable Senate now
sitting at Augusta, to enact laws in the inter
est of the citizens of Maine, and her great
industries, should vote to ''indef efnitely post
pone" law passed in the popular branch Of
the legislature to protect the focks of our
State from the rsvsges of dogs. Now, sir,
this may seem a matter Of small importance

acres of otherwise waste lands in the State

State is acknowledged by nine-tenths of the
farmers of Maine.
That the present dog Law" is inadequate
in its provisions, and unconstitutional, is pat
ent to every observing mind and should be
repealed. A law optional to the inhabitants

dog may have been prior TO an offence Of do

The law, as now understand it, that is now
before the legislature. is License Law
II not only protects the sheep owners, but
also the owners Of valuable dogs.
