KILLED HIS WIFE,
And Neighbour, and Then Fired His
House.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, April 14,--A terrible
tragedy occurred about ten miles west OF
this city at 10 o'clock this morning, result
ing in Mrs Nat Gibson and Mrs. Hearu
being shot by the formers husband and
their bodies burned in the house Of the
murderer During the morning Mr.. Glib
son and his wife had q quarrel and they
decided to call in Mrs. Hearn to act as a
peacemaker. Shortly afterwards two pis-
toll shots were heard by Gbsons children,
who were playing near the house, and i'm
mediately following the house was seen to
be in flames. The children ran to Mrs.
Hearn's house and gave the alarm.
When Mr.. Hearn arrived the house was
almost entirely consumed, Upon invcsti-
CATION the bodies Of Mrs Gibson and Mrs.
Hearn were found burned to a crisp. The
little girl said that after the shots were
fired she saw her father run from the
house and go towards the woods in the di-
rection of Whitewater. The impression is
that Gibson, in u fit of anger, shot the
women and fired the place to hide the
crime.
A posse of citizens was organized and
started in pursuit of Gibson. Several hum
dred men are after him with guns and ropes
and he will. no doubt, be lxnched if cap

into a tragedy of the sea, was discovered on
Monday by Captain Catherine, of the
steamer City of Augusta. Of the steamship
line plying between this city and Savannah.
The steamer left Savannah on Sunday,
and when off Cape Lookout on Monday
morning, Captain Catherine sighted a
three-masted schooner few miles to the
starboard and drifting aimlessly about.
Though there was a stiff breeze blowing
at the time, she had only two jibs set and
was not attempting to make any Roadway.
Although no signals of distress were shown,
the sight was so peculiar that Captain
Catherine determined to overhaul the YES
sci and find out if there was any trouble
on board. No signs of life We're evident,
and the fact that one iib sail was dragging
in the water, made 1t appear as IT she had
been abandoned. When the steamer got
within half a mile of the schooner. the first
sign of life was shown. man being dis

A GARDENERS REVENGE.

lie Murders Count Iiluoher and shoots the
Countess for DIscharging His Sweetheart
From Their Employ.
BEmtN, Oct. ia dispatch from
Gereiiswald, Pomeran, announces a
startling tragedy in the princely family
Of Butcher Dc Wahlstatt, which is con-
nected by marriage with the Loeb fam
lily, OF Brooklyn, New York. The news
caused great sensation in Berlin, us
tho Butcher Dc Wahlstatt family is
both wealthy and important, having
connections by marriage with proml'
nent families in England and the Unit
cd States, and being descended from tho
famous Marshal Butcher.
Count Blucher's gardener. it appears,
was desperately in love with very
pretty servant girl, who was employed
on the WiGtt2ow estate; the girl re-
iorred TO secmed to have incurred, i'll
some manner not explained, the dis
pleasure OF Countess Butcher, who dis
missed her.
The love smitten gardener took tho
girls dismissal very much to heart, and
went to the Count and Countess Bluchor
begging item to reinsta.e the girl in
her former position. This they refused
to do, and this refusal appear1 to have
driven the gardener TO madness.
Count and Countess Butcher, the
dispatches say, were looking out OF one
OF the large windows OF the castle yes
;eFday. entirely unconscious Of danger,
when the gardener jumped out from
behind n bush, raised rifle to his
shoulder and fired shot, which struck
the count in the head, killing him al
most instantly. Before the countess
could recover from the horror OF the
situation the gardener fred second
lhot which struck the countess in the
neck. The gardener then committed
suicide with the same weapon.
