special to tho Times from Indepe ndsnce,

aud her hve-year-old son in bed, the

THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
Is shronded In mystery. Many theories
are current as to tho cause, one beirg
asphyXlatton, another accidental poI-
soning aud another foul play. The fact
that two Eas stoves were burning at full
force practically expel the tho theory
or asphyXiation and tho fact
that no bruises were found on either
person renders the murder theory al
most incredible, leaving accidental
poisoning rs the most probable cause.
None of the family were seen Satur-
day evening, leaving no doubt whatever
that Mr. Read aud the domestic had
been dead thirty-six hours before dis

Intensely hot, and, there being no VEN

held to-day, but nothing doiicite can be-
