THE MAN WHO KILLED THE ACTRESS AND
 HIMSELF 50 ApJUDGED.

THE MAN WHO KILLED THE ACTRESS AND
 HIMsEIF 50 ADJUDGED.
 NEW YORK, March 28.-Investigation this morning set at rest all theories as to the cause of the double tragedy yesterday morning. when John Bigelow, an actor, shot and killed Miss Amy Thill, an actress, in the Falk house at No. l3 West Twenty fourth street, and then turned the pistol upon himself and sent bullet through his cwD right temple.
 Bigeiow, as It was learned through one of his most intimate friends, has been in insane retreats at least five times within the last ten years, and there can be 10 doubt that the murder and suicide yesterday was caused by a sudden return of his insanity brought on by the night of drinking and debauch that preceded it.
 The last time Bigelow was in Iunatic asylum was in the fall of 1892, when he spent some time in a retreat al Hartford. He has also been several times in Blooming dale. Ills insanity, in the belief of his friends, is the result of a severe attack of Roman fever which he contracted when a g. year-oid baby.
 Coroner Fitzpatrick viewed the remains of the murdered woman and the suicide this morning, but has not yet decided when to hold the inquest.

 While speaking against bill Stewart was interrupted ou a point of order by Moves of Douglas. Contrary to precedent, Stewart ignored the point of order and also the presiding officer, when he asked him repeatedly to be seated. The sergeant-at- arms was directed to quiet the speaker, but Stewart resisted. The two men clinched and fought up and down the aisles.
 Dale, another populist, sprang 10 assist his colleague, but was roughly thrown to the floor by two republican mem oers. Jeffries, also populis., started for the com batanrs, and shouted loudly that he could whip any man on the floor. Me- Keyby Of Webster, the giant of the senate, caught him, forced him into chair and held him.
 The presiding officer rushed down the aisle, parted the two original combattants and finally brought about order. reso- luiion was introduced requesting Stewart to apologize within tweDty-four hours or subject him to a vote of ceusure.

Chimneys constructed on modern prin- oiples were almost unknown to tho an clients, being used only in the large baths, where great quantities of hot water were needed. Chaang dishes, braziers of glow ing coals and bottles of hot water were employed by the ladies of the middle ages to keep their rooms warm, and a curious picture is extant of three Norman ladies chatting together each with a bottle of hot water placed between her feet Chim- neys are believed to have been unknown In England until the twelfth century. but by the end of the fourteenth were geper. ally employed in domestic architecture. For long time there was chimney tax all over England.
