THE WAGES OF SIN.
Young New Yorker Fatally Shoots
His Mistress and Himself.

Young New Yorker Fatally Shoots
His Mistress and Himself
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-William Vogel,
thirty-two years old, son of q wealthy
clothier. shot his mistress, Louise Bart.
lett, and himself this afternoon in their
apartments in Harlem. He fired three
shots at the woman, one of which took
effect just, above the hip and entered
the abdomen, making fatal wound.
The woman is said to have come from
Boston. She is a handsome blonde of
about thirty, and VOgel was jealous be-
cause she received attentions from q
young man lodging in the same house.
The first shot fired by VOgel graZed
the woman's shoulder, and she then
started 10 run. crying: For Gods sake,
Willie, don't kill me-"
Vogel shot twice again in rapid sue
cession, and it was the third shot that
made the fatal wound.
After shooting his mistress, young
Vogel turned the muZZle of the reyol-
yer toward himself and fired a shot into
his right ride, just above the twelfth
rib. Then changing the revolver from
his right to his left hand, he sent ball
crashing through his left side. in the
neighborhood of the heart. The last
shot is supposed to have been the cause
of his death. He was standing y
the bed at the time. AS he fired the
second shot he said "See. Louise, I'm
dead" His body swayed for an in.
slant, and then he fell upon the bed
dead. Vogel, it is said, has several
times before made attempts on the
woman's life, on one occasion doing so
in Chicago. Vegel's wife recently Sc
cured a divorce. owing to her husbands S
intimacy with the Bartlett woman.

with blow on my head. The thief was
going through my pockets when Police
man Grant came up and collared us
both.
In dazed sort of way l resisted ar.
rest. The thief suddenly whipped out
revolver and fired four shots; Grant
fell dead; the thief made his escape.
The policeman had nippers on my
right wrist at the time. Or course,

policeman, was charged with the muir

Mr.. Curtis admits of having spent large
sums of money in his defense, but he
denies emphatically ever having bribed
or as much even as having attempted
TO bribe any OF the Jurors. The last
business venture of Mr.. Curtis was the
purchase of the DrIskell, the largest
hotel i'll Austin, Tex, aud one of the
finest in the state, and it is at pres
ent being run In his name. His Fres-
no ranch was given in part pay
ment. Mr.. Curtis is very popular
among the members of his own profess
sion. He is genial in disposition and
credited With being kind-heartcd and
generous. He was one OF the first pro-
moters of the actors fund of America.
Mr.. Curtis gave his check for $500 to-
ward the lighting up of the Bartholdi
statue for the first time. His present
tour of "Sam'l of Posen" has been very
successful, and he is i'll a fair way of
making second fortune. equal to the
first that he has already made on this
play.
The demand for seats has been very
large. Matinee will be given on Satur-
day only. The engagement is tor one
week.

A FAMOUS SCULPTOR.
u. s. j. Dunbar. OF Washington
CITY, Arrives in st. Paul, I

q. S. j. Dunbar. OF Washington
City. Arrives in st. Paul. /
U. S. j. Dunbar, sculptor, of WASH
ington, d. g., has just arrived in ST.
Paul, where he will open studio and
display some of his recent work, with a
view to obtaining the patronage of the
st. Paul lovers of art.
He brings with him several good let
ters from prominent people in Wash
. ingtOn TO many of the best people here.
and comes very highly recommended BY
the following people: Senators WASH
burn and Davis; Mitchell, of Oregon:
Faulkner, of West Virginia; Black
burn, of Kentucky; Clarke, the archi-
tect of the capitol; e. f. Riggs, banker
Thomas b. Reed. of Maine; Dr. Tower,
of library fame; Mrs. Senator Davis.
and several others who are not so well
known.
MIR. Dunbar has been especially happy
in his ability and artistic taste in his
interpretations of human nature, having
that faculty of making the best of his
sitter and portrayiDg that which is most
agreeable and characteristic in his sub
iect.
He has placed two busts in marble of
Vice Presidents Hendricks and Martin
Van Buren, i'll the United States senate (:
also bust (marble) of w. w. COrcoran,
the founder of that famous Corcoran
Gallery of Art, where the bust now is.
Mr.. Dunbar has been especially sue
cessful in his ideal work. it being
marked by simplicity and naturalness
III composition, as we'll as sympathetic
expression and harmony. His works
are powerful, and at the same time soft
and gentle, combination that is not
often found in sculptors, as the ten
dency is to either too much strength or
his work is weak. But in this respect
Mr.. Dunbar has retained a happy me-
dlum, and bids fair to take high posi-
ton on the ladder of fame. His bas-
relief work has shown a wonderful
degree of delicacy, as we'll as correct
ness in portraiture.
Mr.. Dunbar proposes to make st. Paul
MS summer residence ii he meets with
sufficient encouragement. returning to
washington during session of congress.
where he must be to look after the gov
ernment statues, etc. He will place
bust on exhibition at 100 East Fourth
street, E. w. Porter's book store, where
anyS further information may be oh.
talned through the kindness of Mr. Por-
ter. Mr.sDunbar will remain at least
month in st. Paul, possibly more, as
many of the lovers of art are absent
from the city to escape the heat and in.
dulge in piscaterial and other sportive
reliefs from the narrowing strains of
everyday business life. Success to Mr..
Dunbar.

stead of on the battlefield, and also to
Grant on the base of the monument as
commander of the troops in the battle.
The attorney general holds that the ap.
plcation to restrain the commission
from locating the monument on the fair
grounds came too late. as the monu-
ment has already been located there
and the title to the land secured. axss&
The attorney general further holds
that the injury is not an irreparable
one, as the matter can be taken before
the next legislature, which will have
power to correct any errors.
Gen. Sanborn has arranged to consult
with Judge Flandrau on the matter.
and, as they are much interested in the
matter. they can probably decide what
is best to be done. 1t is not likely that
they will prosecute the matter in the
courts, but take it before the next legis-
lature.
There seems to be little doubt that
Maj. Brown was actually in command
of the troops. and that he was respected
and obeyed by the officers and men as
their commander. 1t is not known that
this fact is disputed by Capt. Grant,
whose name has been inscribed on the
monument, as the one in command.
Capt. Grant claims this honor on the
ground that as regular army captain
he outranked MAJ. Brown, who was a
militia officer Of the detachment. This
is the point disputed by the other Off
GERS.
Joseph r. Brown. a son of Maj.
Brown, and s. j. Brown, his brother,
have boen in the Twin Cities for some
days looking the matter up, and they
will consult with ex-Gov. Marshall,
Judge Flandrau and Gen. Sanborn as to
what is best to be done.
