Senators habitually seat themselves IN

go as near as possible to the dividing line and
then have the privilege of consuming Ha-

A VIENNESE TRAGEDY,
Young Lieutenant Murders His Lady
Love and Kills Himself.

A distressing murder and suicide is the sen-
sation OF Vienna. The city architect, Herr Sal
ing, disturbed at the attachment his eighteen
year-old daughter had formed for lieutenant
named Fischer in the lancers, started with the
girl for holiday jaunt in the Tyrol. hoping
thus to cure her of the infatuation. Herr Sal
ing and his family had reached Oezthal q
small village. with one hotel, when they
learned that the lieutenant was following them,
and before night he arrived and put up at the
hotel where they were stopping. The parents
of Miss Sailing watched their daughter care
fully that she might have no communication
with Fischer, and for several days she was not
out OF their sight.
Tuesday morning the young lady left her
apartment to go to the breakfast room slightly
in advance of her father, and upon reaching
the room occupied by tho lieutenant the door
was suddenly thrown open and he sprang into
the passageway, seized the girl around the
waist. and dragged her back into his roora
placed pistol against her temple and blew out
her brains. Then turning tho weapon upon him.
self he fired a second time and fell dead beside
her.
Attracted by the report the terrified guests
ran to the apartment, where the two bodies
were found stretched on the floor. The mother
of the girl, as it happened, was the first to en-
ter and she tainted at the sight. She has been
alternately conscious and Unconscious ever
since and fears are fei. that she will never re-
cover her reason. Lieut.. Fischer left letter
upon his table narrating the incidents of his
life until he encountered Miss Sailing, telling OF
his love for her, tle belief that it was recipro-
Gated and the utter uselessness of his hoping
ever to marry her owing to heart disease. which
he had inherited and which had been increas-

his dismissal from the army and his relinguish-
