FOLLOWED BY FATE.
What Has Been Inflicted Upon a
Single Family

A cruel and relentless fate seems to have
followed the family Of which Mrs. Sarah
A. Collins was member, and it has only
been emphasized by the horrible manner
in which she was butchered by her hus-
band few days ago.
No less than three people in the family
have met with violent deaths, and that SO
many persons thus related should have
died thus is a coincidence that can hardly
fail TO excite comment.
Mrs. Collins had brother named James
Nj. Burke, who few years ago married
Katie Larkin. Shortly afterward she was
starting a IRE and poured coal oil from a
an into the stove, causing an explosion,
and from the burns she received she died
in few hours.
Burke himself was longshoreman, and
about six months ago was assisting in the
unloading of ship lying at Pacifc-street
wharf wnen he fell down a hatchway,
breaking his neck.
Now the third victim falls in the person
of Mrs. Collins, whose brutal murder is
yet fresh in The public mind.
That so many deaths of this character
should thus occur in the family is certainly
strange, and furnishes abundant material
which may be worked up as proofs of their
theories by those people who believe in the
existence of an ever-pursung fate.
