A Domestic Tragedy.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March IT,
Frederick Frank, at six o'clock this
morning shot and killed his son Will.
liam, aged nine years, dangerously
wounded his daughter Amelia, five
years, and then turned the pistol onto
himself, inhicting fatal wound. The
tragedy is said to have been the out
come of a jealous quarrel with his wife.
Frank was a German and his sus-
picions of jealousy, SO far as developed
by the police, were without apparent
foundation. The boy, who was killed
was shot through the breast, the girl
was shot in the mouth and Frank shot
himself twice over the heart. The man
lived with his wife and two children in q
neat two-story dwelling. Mrs. Frank,
as was her custom, went to q near. by
bakery about six o'clock and on her re-
turn was surprised to fiod both the
front and back doors of her house
locked. Soon afterwsrd the sound of
pistol shots were heard, and policemen
broke into the dwelling. The girl lay
moaning in bed, near the dead body of
her brother. Frank was lying near the
door, covered with blood and was un-
conscious. Blood was spattered around
the floor and the scene was revolving.
Of late Frank had been complaining
of pains in his head and it is thought his
mind was affected.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAR II, 1897

EVERY THING that those who desert
cd the democrats last fall do, shows
that they have left the democratic
party for keeps, and intend to lie in the
bed they have made with the republi-
cans. When the democrats realize this
indisputable fact, and act in accordance
Herewith, they will conduce to the sue
cess of their party and not to its con-
tinued defeat, as they do by their efforts
to induce the deserters to come back to
the fold they have abandoned. Those
in the Kentucky legislature yesterday
by voting with their republican COL
leagues to admit republicans whose
seats were contested, secured repubii-
can majority in that body, and thereby
a republican U. S. Senator from that
State, who will vote for the high tariff
bill and its Legitimate consequence
the continued rule of the trusts and
combines.

Took THE WRONG MEDICINE Mrs.
c. c. Neal, of Heathsville, came to
sudden death few days ago by reason
of dose of tincture of iodine given by
mistake for tincture of iron. She was
in weak state of health. The bottle
of iodine had by some error been pack
ed in box of tincture of iron, and the
bottle was sold and the drug taken as
tincture of iron before the mistake WAS
noticed. As soon as the dose was ia
ken Mrs. Neal felt that something was
wrong, and upon examination of the
label OF the bottle the mistake was dis
covered She did not live twenty min
utes and died before a physician could
be reached. She realized her condi-
ton, and gave directions for her burial.
Her husband is frantic with grief. She
leaves several small children and an
ilfant only few days old.

ATTEMPTED LYNCHERs CAPTURED
Constable Petty, of Campbell county,
has arrested John w. Rosser and X.
w. Tweedy, white, and a negro named
Ferrill, who were charged by William
Clements as being among the mob
which attempted to lynch him Monday
morning. They were taken to Rust
burg, the county seat, where the white
men were admitted to bail in the sum
of 81 200 each and the colored man
$500. Two men named Coleman were
also arrested, but when taken before
Clements he could not identify them
and they were discharged. The men
who were bailed will have hearing
before Justice Nelson on the 25th, as
it is thought by that time the condition
OF Clements will be fully determined.
Commonwealth Attorney Murrell
will direct the investigation. and says
he will prosecute the offenders to the
full extent of the law. The lynchipg
party left behind the rope with which
they expected to swing Clements.

that the lady was engaged to both of the gen.

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Driven to
desperation by her husbands jealousy,
Jane Ammel, young woman living in
Washington, yesterday attempted sui
eide by shooting herself. The young
woman and her husband had been quar-
reling, and when he left she became
hysterical, and went to her employers
bureau drawer and got his pistol. She
then walked over 10 a mirror, and,
taking aim at her heart, fired. Her
aim was bad, and the ball went through
the fleshy part of her arm. Her wound
is not serious. Francis Ammel, the
husband of the woman. is employed as
butler, and bears the reputation of
being q sober, hard working man. Mrs.
Ammel is a prepossessing brunette.
The friends of the woman say that her
husband had no cause whatever to be
jealous. 1t appears that this is not the
first time quarrels have taken place be.
tween the two.
