LoSpoy, Nov. 1.-THE quiet little vii
lage Of Pctertavuy, Deyonsi!ire. was yes
terday thrown into state Of great excite.
inent by the cry Of murder. 4 lifted
lover. young man named William
Williams, fell IN love some little time ago
with Emily Dodge, daughter Of a
farmer His love was not returned,
another young man named William Rowe
having found favor with the girl.
Williams became morbid and mOrOse
when he found that he had a successful
rival. but nobody deemed that lac Thought
Of wreaking vengeance for lis blighied
affections.
Yesterday nearly all the villagers at-
tended divine service in the parish church.
Williams was present. as were also Miss
Dodge and Rowe, and 1t was noticed that
lie kept his eyes upon the girl during tile
entire service. II is now thought that the
sight of her in company with Rowe eN'
cited his jealousy @ such an extent that he
became temporarily insane.
When the services were over, Rowe and
Miss Dodge started to walked together 10
the latters home. They had gone but a
short distance along the quiet country
road before they were Overtaken by
Williams, who, withun, word drew q
pistol and fired two shots at Miss Dodge
who fell dead in the road
Rowe. taken completely BY surprise, did
not have time to raise a hand to protect
his sweetheart or himself. The moment
the girl fell Williams fired two shots al
Rowe, both Of which took effect. The
noise Of the shots attracted other persons
to the spot. They found Rowe lying un.
conscious bv the side of Miss Dodge, while
only few feet from them was Williams
with bullet in his brain. lie had shot
himself.
Rowe was taken to his home, where hi
died this morning. The condition of vii
liams is critical ami there is little if any
chance Of his recovery.

William n. Candy of this city, Gati.a and

terested in botanical science will be glad to
learn that the herbarium of William NJ.
Candy of Wilmington, Del, has been
secured by the New York College Of
Pharmacy and it will, therefore, be in
good hand and will be kept together The
5000 which was paid for it, according to
published statements, will hardly cover
the actual money which has been expended
upon it, to say nothing of the intelligent
work which Mr.. Candy has given to il
during 81 years in travelling, collecting,
corresponding and arranging. Thenumber
of species in this collection isnot less than
26,000,and il may reach 10000 The num-
Der of specimens to illustrate these species
amount to 10000. Every specimen is
properly mounted and arranged iii genius
covers. The herbarium has already aided
the studies of almost every American
systematist of consequence. and specimens
have often been sent to European botauists
for their inspection. 1t has therefore,
not only already been of extended use
but has had the benefit of supervision by
many eminent men.

with the sGO,OOO, 900 surplus Left by
President Cleveland.
W4sHlNGrnS, Nov. IA call will be
issued very soon for meeting of the
House Committee on appropriations at
noon November 18Th. next, This will give
the committee about weeks time i'll
which to prepare some of the regular
annual appropriation bills for the action of
Congress when it meets for the second
session
It is the purpose 10 push rapidly all Of
the necessary measures for the mainte-
nance of the government next year, and as
the treasury department has promised 10
submit the estimates for the District Of
Columbia, tine pension and the fuFtiiiCa-
ton appropriation bills by November 2Sth.
there seems 70 be no good reason why the
House should not have at least two II
these appropriation bills ready for its
action rs soon as it meets.
The exceedingly heavy payments made
BY the treasury during the first quarter of
the present fiscal year have caused some
dismay among the members of the apprO-
prlations committee For the first four
months Of the year these payments nave
exceeded BY Sl6WO,GD the expenditures
for the corresponding period III the pre-
ceding fiscal year, which means a
total increase for the present year
~ tt7'nVuuPl, WlllIe tne apnfp-
priatiuns for the wear are only
Sl2,elo,G00 greater than the appropriations
for the last year. in plain English that
means IF the estimates Of the committee
hold good. there will be deficiency on
occolnt Of pensions of SS6.ODO.OOO, which
will have 70 be met by Congress at the
next session, IN addition to an appropria-
ton for pensions for the next fiscal year Of
certainly not less than Sljn,W0,O00. So
the total appropriations that Congress must
make for pensions next session will uggrc.
gate not less than SIS, O0U,uDO.
with this enormous sum ad led to the
other appropriations necessary to carry on
the government and decreased import re.
ccipts expected to result from the agitation
q the tariff squestion, IL Will be seen
that the appropriations committee has
good reason to feel dismayed at the outlook
and to doubt their ability TO prevent de-
ilclency in the national accounts.
