Jealousy Causes Murder and Suicide.

Owing to his cruel treatment Mrs.

suit for divorce from her husband in
August, and also made criminal com
plant against him for assault and bat
terry. Upon his promise to leave the
city and not modest the woman any
more Justice SwayZee allowed Burton
TO go. He went to Chicago. but re-
turned two weeks ago and stopped at
the Dayton house, which his wife was
managing. He manifested his insane
jealousy on several occasions and finally
worked himself up to the point of
committing murder Walking into
the hotel parlor where Mrs. Burton
was talking to a friend the husband
pulled n revolver, and without n word
began firing at his wife, sending three
bullets into her body, one of which
was fred after the poor woman had
fallen dead upon the floor. The sound
of the shooting and the screams soon
attracted the boarders and servants of
the hotel to the scene, when Burton
ran into the bedroom adjoining the
parlor, threw himself upon his back
upon the bed and sent bullet through
his temple in the presence of dozen
people. One shot was sufficient, as he
was dead in less than half minute
after the shot was fred.
Burton was 46 years Of age; he served
through the war, having enlisted when
but ii years old; he was lawyer for
several years, but gave up his practice
when threatened with being disbarred
for alleged crooked work Mrs Bur-
ton was a pretty blonde, aged 80, and
well-lilied for her genial, sunny dis
position. They had been married IL
years and two children survive.

THE BIG HOTEL COLLAPSED.
Immense New Building Mt Charlevoix-
Two Killed, "A Score Injured.

Immense New Building at Charlevoix-
Two Killed, "A Score Injured
With terrific crash the immense
new hotel in course of construction at
Lindsay Park, at Charlevoix collapsed
into a heap of broken timbers and
splintered boards. Forty men were at
work on the structure at the time, and
half this number were killed or in
jured, two being instantly killed.
The hotel was four stories high and
40 feet long, being the largest struc-
ture of the kind in Northwestern Mich
igan summer resort section. In order
to finish it before winter, the contrac-
tors were allowed to plaster the upper
two stories before the lower floors
were properly placed, and this, it is
supposed, was the cause of the col
lapse, the weight at the top weakening
the whole building so that when II
sharp gale struck the side-wall of the
structure, it gave way with u crash
that was heard mile.
The dead are: Pierce Kendall, of
Charlevoix, and Guy Hamilton, of
Grand Rapids. The injured are:
r. c. Hamilton, probably fatally;
William Phelps, badly injured inter-
nally; f. A. Smith, badly injured in
one leg and one arm, and head seri-
ously cut; S. Cain, head crushed and
hurt internally, will probably die;
Willis Silsby, ribs broken and body
badly bruised; James Gillett, three ribs
broken, internally injured, John Curtis,
side crushed and otherwise hurt; VIM.
Wood, one eye torn out; Charles Heint-
zelrLan, A. M. Hall and Charles Cab
riel. Several others were less seriously
injured.
The money loss from the accident is
well up into the thousands, but the
structure will in all probability be
rebuilt.

Drouth Broken In the West.

Rain has fallen throughout the west
and marks the end of the long drouth
that for months has harassed the farm
ers of 20 of the corn-producing or cat
tle-raising states of the union. The
states, or portions of states, in which
rain has fallen, were Colorado, Wyom-
ing, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Kansas, Nebraska, the eastern portions
of the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
consin, northern Michigan, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri rand
portions of Illinois. In all of those
districts the drouth had been felt more
or less severely and to all a measure of
relief is promised as a result of the

William G. Mall, aged 20, furni-

Detroit with his brother about six
weeks ago in search of work, had a
quarrel in a saloon on Michigan avenue,

than have serious trouble with him the
brothers and friend went out to

international FraternaI Congress.

The International congress of Fra
ternal Orders, which represents a
membership of 100000 in As differ
ent fraternities, gathered at Port HUI
ron-15O delegates being present. The
report of President j. G johnson
showed that the As societies have
$4,000, oOO,o 900 indemnity in force and
during the past year have paid SAL
100000 to the widows and orphans.
Mayor Boyntom turned over the keys
of the city to the visitors and all were
given a good time. The papers read
and addresses made were of a pointed
character that showed that the inter-
est of fraternities was the handspring
of the gathering. James E. Shepherd,
of Lawrence, Mass, member of
United Order of Pilgrim Fathers, was
elected president. Lillian M. HOLSTER,
of Detroit, supreme commander of La
dies of the Maccabees. was put in nom
ination for vice-president, but she de-
clined the honor. ID. E. Stevens of the
Fraternal Mystic Circle, of Philadel-
phia, was elected vice-president. Sec
rotary NJ w. Saclxett was reelected.
Baltimore was named as the place for
the congress to meet next year.
The publishers of organs of frater-
nifty orders perfected the organization
of national press association.
