completed arrangements to erect an

appointed to confer with contrac-

is that work will begin at once on a

CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Henry Russell, col
ored, yesterday afternoon murdered his
wife, Carrie, by cutting her throat with a
razor. He then ended his life by slashing
his own throat The scene of the tragedy
was in the building in the rear of 6South
Sheldon street. The couple lived on the
second floor. About 2 o'clock Russell
commenced quarreling with his wife. In
n short time the woman was heard
screaming, and several men who went to
her assistance were driven out by Rus
sell, who threatened to kill them If they
came back. The police were notified, but
before they arrived Russell had cut his
wife's throat from ear to ear, and then
taking up the dying woman in his arms
he brought her to the window and hurled
her into the yard. He stood at the win
dow with bloody razor In his hand and
looked down upon the apparently dead
form of his wife. Before any one could
enter the house and seize him the desper-
ate man drew the razor across his own
throat.
