A Loss of S17B, 900 Suffered by Oin-
cinnati Company.

Cincinnati, o.. Feb. 2.-The Avondale
street railway car sheds and machine
were burned shortly after o'clock this
morning, entailing a loss estimated at
$175, 900.
There were IS or so cars in the sheds
thirty were motor cars. Nearly all were
new summer cars of the latest design.
An effort was made to push the cars out
of the building, but the blaze was too hot
and the fremen and volunteers were
driven back. In the basement were the
machine shops and boiler room, and these,
with their contents, were entirely
destroyed. The origin of the fire is not
known, but it is thought that it started
from a defective electric wire in what is
called the oil room, in the shed proper.
The insurance is about $3.50, 900

PAIR OF FOOLS
From Lewiston Attempt a Gen.
trail Park Tragedy.
Mansfield Says His Wife Wanted Him
to Shoot Her.
30th Tired Of Life but Revolver was Too
Small.

LEWISTON, Aug. 28.-At 10 A. NJ, to-
lay, Thos. Mansfield, well-to-do Lewiston
business man, who at the time was at his
country place about four miles south of
Auburn, shot his wife and attempted suicide
Neither shot was fatal and the injuries of
neither are considered dangerous. The
first information of the affair reached Lew
iston through the physicians, who notified
City Marshal Teal of Lewiston at 3 p. M.
The city marshal went to Mansfield 8
farm and arrested him. Mansfield was lying
lown on a sofa. He arose, put ON his hat
md coat, and went to Lewiston. The bull
let wound is in the lip and mouth. The
wound in his wife's head is near the ear.
The shots were from % calibre revolver
which accounts for the failure to prove
fatal. Mansfield states that the action was
ranged between them, both being tired of
ife. Mrs. Mansfield had for long time
oeen in poor health and begged him to
shoot her. He had larger revolver in the
house but could not find it.
Mrs. Mansfield is about 60 years old and
8 related to Eben ID. Jordan of Jordan &
Marsh. For years Mansfield and wife had
,een in the millinery business on Lisbon
treet, this city. They had acquired COM
ortable property and are in easy circum-
.tances. Mansfield is under arrest. He
ays but little and pleads as his only ex-
use tn, death was desired by both.
