i see by resolutions published in the Farmers
Friend that the correspondent from Spring
Branch ''wilfully and maliciously lied" in re-
porting to the REGISTER that Deer Greek lodge
F NJ. B. A. made township nomination, ]
want to say simply that I got my information
from member Of Deer Greek Lodge, who was
at the meeting referred to and who told me the
next morning in SO many words that the Lodge
had nominated q ticket. Furthermore, know
that at least one Of the members Of the Lodge
said to one Of the men who had been nominated,
eff you don't accept the nomination Of the Lodge
we will down you." 1t was matter Of gener-
al comment all over the neighborhood that the
Lodge had taken such action and never heard
1t denied before these resolutions appeared.
Maybe a mistake has been made but II
so it was made by the member who
gave me the information lone Of the
very men whose names are signed to these res
olutions) and not by the correspondent who
wants it understood that she does not intend to
write ANYTHING but the truth.

JACOBS TRIPLE CRIME.
A Diamond Smuggier shoots Two People
and Then Suicides,

A Diamond Smuggler shoots Two People
and Then Suicides.
NEW YORK, Feb. l7.-Isaac Jacob, aged
Is, shot and killed Herman Royozinsky, of
"a Ridge street, about 5 o'clock Sunday
morning, then shot and perhaps fatally
wounded Royozinsky's wife, and finally shot
himself dead. The tragedy was the result
of an old quarrel between the men. 1t IL
said that Jacob once smuggled e. 900 worth
of diamonds into this country, and, becom-
ing frightened, placed them in Royozinsky's
hands for safe keeping until il should be safe
to dispose of them; but when he asked Royo-
Einsky for them the latter refused TO account
for them.
1t Is also said that Jacob, who was a mar
ried man, made love TO Royoznsky's niece
until he was forbidden to visit the family
any more. Despite these events, however,
Jacob and ROyozinsky met occasionally and
had business transactions, Early Sunday
morning Jacob called at Royozinsky's rooms
in the tenement "a Ridge street and awoke
Royozinsky, telling him to come out to the
stable, as some one was trying TO steal the
horse which Royozinsky used in his business
as an expressman. Royozinsky accompanied
| Jacob to the stable, which is In the rear of
| No. Al Ridge street.
Whsn the men reached the stable yard
| Jacob drew a revolver and shot Royozinsky
through the heart He then went back to
! No. "a and shot Mrs. Royozinsky, who was
Just coming out of the house, having became
] anxious because her husband had gone with
Jacob, whom she diStrusted. The bullet
penetrated her neck and lodged in her back.
She ran down the street screaming, and did
not fall until she reached the Delaney street
police station. Meanwhile her son, Otto,
aged is, had sprung out and pursued Jacob,
who aed until he reached Broome street,
when he turned and aimed the revolver at
Otto.
The boy lodged behind wagon, and
Jacob seeing two policemen running up To
arrest him, placed the revolver to his own
head, fired and fell dead in the gutter.
On his person was found long, rambling
statement to the effect that Royozinsky and
everybody else with whom he had had any
thing to do since he came 10 this country
had cheated and robbed him; that the
lawyers he had engaged to look after his in
terests had played into the hands Of his
enemies; that his own wife had robbed him
sold him out and thrown him into th'
street; that he was sick, destitute and des
perate, and had finally decided to take tn,
law into his own hands
AT the hospital It is not yet known whether
hrs Royozinsky can recover or not. Hel
wound rs very serious. and shs will probably
dis.
