Woman and Daughter Murdered
ane Then Their Dwelling
Was Set Afire.
GIRLS CHARRED BODY FOUND.
Martin Mowry Farm Hand Arrested For the
Crime-He Was Found In the Woods With
aBuI!et In His Head-!Much Excitement
In QuietSOId Town.

The town of Burrillville was the scene of
terrible double tragedy OF the most
friendship type early this morning. The
tragedy occurred on what Is known as
Sweets Hill.
Occupying this farm house up to 2
O'Clock this morning were Elisha Rey-
nold's, his wife, his daughter and Martin
Mowry.
Shortly after o'clock this morning a
neighbor discovered that the old Mathew
son house was on fire, and, raising an
alarm, succeeded in arousing other neigh
bors.
There being no response the door was
kicked open.
One of the party got into the chamber
ordinarily occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Rey-
nolds. The former was not in the room,
but across the bed was the almost inani-
mate form of Mrs. Reynolds.
But a glance was necessary to tell that
murder had been done, and that the farm
house had been fired to cover up the
awful tragedy. sNo

spattered with blood.
The Mortified people lifted Mrs. Rey-
nold's body from the bed and conveyed it
to the side of wall, just across the road,
where she died in few minutes.
The charred remains OF the daughter
were found in the cellar this morning.
Martin Mowry, aged "a, who occupied
another part of the house, was this morn
ing arrested for the crime.
The evidence tending to show that after
killing the inmates of the house, Mowry
saturated the house with the contents of
10-gallon can of kerosene, and then went
to the woods, and shot himself in the
head.
When found there this morning he was
insane. Mowry has been acting in pc
culiar manner for some time past.

remained from the grammar grade to the
High School, and completed the term, and
was informed by the Superintendent that
the average was about GO per cent. Mrs.
Jolly expressed the hope that the gram
mar school grades would be made as good
as possible for the working classes, and

the violet by large majority.
The request Of Superintendent Fisher
that he be allowed to have the course of
study for the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades bound with the course of the other
grades already in print, but not yet bound,
was the opportunity for another discus
sion, and finally the motion of Mr.. Little
field to amend the motion so as to provide
for insertion of a minute to the effect that
the committee Professionally adopted the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades on April
13, 1897, was adopted.

BILLY MALOWNEY LOVE

In some of Sheridan lie Fauu's
stories in the early numbers of the
Dublin University Magazine there are
several good touches of Irish humor.
The following is a PEASANTS descrip-
ton of Billy Malowney i'll love: "WelI,
now, he was rally stupid wild love;
there wasn't Il bit of fun left in him.
He was good for nothing on earth but
sittin' under bushes smokin' tobaccy,
and signing till you'd wonder where
he got the wind for it all. Now you
might as well be persuadin' the birds
again flynn, or strivin' to coax the
stars out the sky into your hat, as to
be talkin' common-sense to them
that's fairly bothered and burstin'
wild love. There is nothing like it.
The toothache and collie together
would compose you better for an ar
gument; il leaves you fit for nothing
but nonsense. It's stronger than
whisky, for one good drop of it will
make you drunk for year, and sick,
begorra, for ten; it's stronger than the
sea, for it will carry you round the
world, and never let you sink in sun
shine or in storm; and, begorra, its
stronger than death itself. for it's not
afeard of him, but GareS him in every
shape. But lovers do have their quar-
rels sometimes, and, begorra, when
they do you'd almost think they
hated one another like man and wife.

4 POLITE INSULT.

A man can be more politely insulted
in Paris than III any city III the worlG.
A gentleman who undertook to speak
in public there expressed himself in
such a low tone of voice that the all
dience were unable to hear him. He
was lecturing upon q geographical
subject, and copies Of a map about
three feeS square had been generally
distributed. Presently one of the
audience rolled up his map in the form
of a very long, attenuated funnel, in
serted the small end in his ear, and
turned the other end towards the
speaker. 1t was rather a ludicrous
performance, but not a laugh was
heard among the polite assembiage.
In two minutes, however, every map
was turned into an ear trumpet. and
the speaker saw himself confronted
with host of of paper tubes, some of
which almost touched him. He at
once spoke louder.

Sir Henry Irving tells an amusing
story Of Il joke that lie, with Mr.. TooIe

where, says Sir Henry, there was III

the window and turned out the gas,
and finally all got under the table.
We had only to remain i'll our cramp-

his voice he ran out of the room and
along the passage.
The minute he had gone we shut
the door, lit the gas, restored the sill

fore, enjoying quiet cigar. Present

the passage. 1t grew louder, and in

half dressed, consisting of the mana

4 WRONG GRAB.

A new Bible class teacher in a Sun
day school was much worried by the
noise of the scholars in the room next
to him. At last, unable to bear it
any longer, he mounted Il chair and
looked over the partition dividing the
two rooms, to see who the offenders
were. Seeing one boy a little taller
than the others talking a great deal,
he leaned over, seized the boy by the
coat collar, lifted him over the parti-
ton and banged him into a chair in
his room, saying, Now be quiet. -"
He then resumed his lesson, until
about quarter of an hour later,
when he saw a small head appear
round the door, and q meek little
voice said, PLEASE, sir, you've got
