NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. l5.-One of
the most deplorable double tragedies in
the history of the state was enacted in
the vicinity OF Portland, a village near the
Kentucky line. last night. The victims
were Mr.. and Mrs. Elvis Pardue, a young
couple who, since their marriage a year
ago, had been residing OH a small farm.
They had been in low spirits for some
time on account of financial troubles, and
1t was evident that their death by suicide
had been deliberately planned and exc
cuted. A neighbor who called at the
house at an early hour this morning, and
failing to observe signs of life about the
premises, made an investigation. He was
Mortified by the discovery Of the bodies oil
Mr.. and Mrs. Pardue side by side on the
floor of their bed chamber. Their heads
rested on pillows, and the clothing worn
by the unfortunate couple was red with
the blood which flowed from the gaping
wounds in their necks. Their heads had
been almost severed from their bodies. A
razor was lying nea. the body of Mrs.
Pardue, and this fact leads to the belief
that she was the last to use it. On the
foor near her corpse was a note which
she had written. From this it appears
that Pardue had become respondent, and
thinking that his friends bad deserted
him in the hour of adversely, determined
upon ending his existence. Mrs. Pardue.
upon being informed of his intention, de
termined not to live without him, and il
was agreed that they should die together.
1t was apparent that the husband had Gu
his throat, and that the wife had quickly
done likewise.
Great excitement was created when the
discovery was made known, and hundreds
of people visited the s ,ene. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pardue stood high in the community.
They were we'll connected, and their
tragic fate was a great shock to their rela.
tivcs and friends. Mrs. Pardue was for.
merly a Miss Stephens. The young cou-
pie lived happily together. Immediately
after being notified the coroner held an
inquest.

Diplomatic Conference Ended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. is. II Sir John
Thompson. Hon. George E. Foster and
Hon. Mckenzie Bowel. Canadian COM
m~issioners, closed their negotiations with
Secretary Blaine aud Gen. Foster this af-
ternoon and left this evening for Ottawa.
State department officials refuse to make
known the result of the conference, but
it is believed the visitors were unsuccess-
full in their mission. Because of the
alleged failure to satisfy the representa-
tives of this government they were au-
thorized to make a commercial treaty en-
tirely independent of the direct interests
of Great Britain.
The proposition of the Canadians, so il
is understood, was hat renewals of the
reciprocity treaty of 1854, with modifica-
lions required by the altered clrcumstan-
ces of both countries; second, the recon
sideration of the treaty OF 1888, with re-
spect to the Atlantic fisheries, with the
aim of securing the free admission into
the United States markets OF the Cana
dian fishery products, in return for the
facilities TO be granted, the United
States fishermen to buy bait
and supplies, aud to trans-ship their car
goes in Capaia; All such privileges to be
mutual. Third-Protection of mackerel
and other fisheries on the Atlantic ocean
and in inland waters also. Fourth-Rs-
taxation of sea board coasting laws of the
two countries. Fifth-Of coasting laws
and inland waters dividing Canada from
the United States. Sixth-The mutual
salvage of wrecked vessels. Seventh
The arrangements for settling the bound
aries between Canada and Alaska.

SAN Francisco. Feb. 15.-Mrs. Sarah
Althea Terry, who, while insane, wan
dered away from the residence of r. E.
Culbreth yesterday, has not been found
today. She arrived here Thursday from
Fresno. where her eccentric conduct at
tracSed attention. but soon after her
arrival at the Culbreth house she became
violently insane and talked about spiritu-
alism and frances in the widest manner.
DR.. Gilnour called and persuaded his
clerk, Robert Robinson, to sit up with
Mrs. Terry, who insisted upon com
muning with spirits of departed friends
and occasionally threw water over her
head, her clothes and Culbreth's furniture
and carpets. Shortly before s O'Clock
yesterday morning she got out of the
room, saying she wanted fresh air. and
slipped out of the house, and was seen
by a policeman to go down Golden Gate
avenue.
She was fully dressed, wore sealskin
and hair diamonds and carried a small
satchel in one hand and a pair of silk
corsets in the other. There are various
theories regarding her intentions and
whereabouts. One theory is that she has
committed suicide. Another is that she
has been enticed away by spiritualists,
who have been taking great interest in
her case. Others think she has returned
home to Fresno.
