VIEWPOINTS TRAGEDY
McClain of West Sullivan
Shoots Himself in Temple,
After Being Fooled in Evident Attempt
to Kill His Wife ard Son,
Who Had Left Him on Account OF Cruel and
Abusive Treatment.

Newport, July Is. - Especially : A
tragedy was enacted, Tuesday morning
at the home of George Lakin, in the east
part Of Newport, which resulted in the
death of one McClain of West Sullivan,
Me the act being done by his own hand.
Report says that lie was abusive to his
wife and that she lett him about the 9th
OF June, and came up to Mr.. Lakin's,
where she has niece living, bringing
with her son, 3 years of age.
Monday evening" McClain arrived at
East Newport from Bangor and lodged
with Mr.. ID. o. Billings who took him,
Tuesday morning, out to the Lakin place,
about two miles away.
On arriving there he told Billings TO
drive up the road a few minutes and he
would be ready to return with him when
he came back to the house. Mr.. Billings
had driven but a short distance when he
heard a shot and returned, finding the
man dead.
We learn facts as follows: When Nc
Claim went into the house he met his wife
and said he wished to talk TO her alone
which she refused TO do. She attempted
to leave the room, and did succeed in get
ting by him, when he drew revolver and
followed. :
Mrs McClain called to her niece who
rushed between the two, thus preventing
him from getting a shot at his wife
In this position they went out of the
house and around to the back door The
niece called loudly for her husband, who
was working short distance away, and
when he started to come, McClain placed
the pistol to his own temple and fired, the
shot instantly killing him.
A vial of morphia was found on his
person, also a small memorandum book,
in which was the following few lines.
which all clearly indicate that he was
intending to do some desperate deed.
Dear Sister: Write to Barney of West
Sullivan, and tell him to give what have
left to dear Forrest"
The evident intent was to kill his wife,
and possibly the son, and then take his
own life. When the father arrived the
son fled and secreted himself for fear of
being injured.
The coroner from Newport visited the
place, and after an examination, deemed
an inquest unnecessary.

SPARKS FROM NAME WIRES.

The trotting stallion Virus, owned by
George W. Campbell of Parkersburg, W.
Va. was sold, at Old Orchard, Tuesday
to F. J. Feek of Syracuse, n. Y, for s2500.
Mrs. Helen Anderson of Thomaston, has
received letter which leaves no doubt
that her son, Capt. Rasmus Anderson,
formerly a prominent resident of that
town, has committed suicide in Kansas
City.
1t now transpires that Lena Koch, the
Springfield girl with whom Otis. who
recently escaped from Rockland jail.
eloped when he came to Maine, was in the
city the afternoon preceding the escape,
and had long interview with her lover
in the cell. A theory now advanced is
that she gave Otis the file or saw with
which the window bar was removed, and
also provided him with citizens clothing.
Durham did not wear Jail suit during
his incarceration, hence similar provi-
sion for him was unnecessary. Another
theory is that Miss Koch, herself, sawed
away the bar and, possibly with the aid Of
an accomplish, entered the Jail and un-
locked the cell with the key which was
hanging near by.

Womenss Wages.

The New York Sun says that during
the last two years there has been a
steady decrease in the wages of women,
and it seems likely to 90 further. There
are several causes for the decrease. For
one thing, men are now entering en-
ployments which formerly belonged ex-
clusively to women. These men are
mostly Poles, Hungarians and Italians,
who will work for the smallest of
wages. Foreign women are also COM
ing in and accepting wages which
American women cannot think of TAX
ing. Employers resort to various meth
ods for forcing down wages. During
the holidays they take on cheap help,
and when the rush is over keep the new
girls and drop the old employees. Many
women are said to be working for from
30 to 90 cents per day, and the army Of
unemployed is steadily increasing. -
Advance.

Slang In E,ecrr,ci,y.hrr,.

Another electrical phraoe hs1 been
transferred from technical setvice to the
broader and more popular realm Of
slang usage The Review some months
ago called attention TO tho expression
"Your trolley e of, - which has come TO
be the latest equivalent for You're of
your base" And now the simple phrase
"live wire" has become slang.
To an electrician "live wire" means
nothing more than wire charged with
n current Of electricity or through
which current is flowing. The apti-
sude with which this phrase adapts It.
self TO slang meaning is we'll shown
In the remark which member Of the
Lotus club uttered in reference TO n Rus
sian drink:
Vodka is live wire when you
don't know how TO drink it, and when
you do II is comparatively tame"
In this sense we have new substi-
tute for 'hot stuff, Jersey lightning. "
Conversely dead wire" might refer TO
comparatively insipid drink, such ms
lemonade or Apollinaris. A poor play,
an untuneful concert, dull book, may
be criticised as "dead wire" An ab.
sorbing play, tuneful concert, an in
teresting book, are Give wire. "--Elec-
