A HUSBANDS
DISCOVERY.
UnEittingly Married to His
Own Sister.
Tragic Sequel Of the Horrible Revelation.
Both Seek DeliYeranCe From Their
Bonds In Death.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BosToN, March 2S.-A tragedy of unusual
sadness is reported this evening from the
little town of Newport, on Avon River,
pear Windsor. Two days ago the body of
Madeleine Duyal. aged % years, the
pretty young wife of Luclen Duval,
was found drowned In an ice-hole in
the river. She was an orphan and had only
been married two years, and was devoted
to her husband. The body showed that she
had not been long In the water. The re-
mains were taken to her home. where her
baby was found crying of hunger.
A search for the husband found him
wandering aimlessly about in the woods,
almost a mile from his home, evidently
almost semi-demented. This led to the sus-
picion that he might be responsible for his
wife's death and he was watched. The
funeral of Mrs. Duyal took place to-day,
and during the excitement attend
ing the obsequies he euded his
keepers and fed. This evening his
body was found hanging in the barn dead.
In his pocket was letter saying that ever
since his marriage he had been trying
to ascertain who his wife's parents were,
she being an adopted child. He had just
received information from ST. John,
New Brunswick. that she was no
less a person than his own sister,
his mother and father having separated he
going with his father to Prince Edwards
Island.
Shortly after the separation the daugh-
ter, Madeleine, was born. and the mother,
too proud to ask help OF the father, never
told him OF her BIRTH The girl was adopted
and brought to Newport, where Duval met
and welded her. and one child was the
result. Being very religious they were over
come with horror at the discovery which
evidently drove Mrs. Duval insane and led
TO her rash act. Horror and remorss at her
fate also drove him to a similar end. The
bodies will be buried together tomorrow.

CENSUS BULLETIN.
The Population Of Number Of the Smaller
TOWNS of California

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Census
Bureau to-day announced the population of
some of the smaller towns of California.
Superintendent Porter said to-day that the
returns made by the agents in California
we're more unsatisfactory than in any other
State, and he was unable to give the reason
for it, as all had been furnished with the
same instructions and given the same atten-
ton by the department. The great diff
Guilty originated in the fact that in the
smaller towns the enumerators failed to
keep the corporate limits of the town sepa-
rate from the township. The agents who
failed to make correct returns have not been
paid and it is likely their vouchers will be
suspended for some time. The announce
