BLOWS AND BULLETS.
The Wife Murder Epidemic-Tragedy
at LeOminster.

LOEMINSTER, Mass, Oct. II, 1885,
John F. Boynton, well known resident
of this place. shot and killed his wife this
morning and then committed suicide by
shooting. Family troubles are believed
to have been the cause of the act, al
thoughseveral years ago Boynton was
thought to be mildly insane He was 5S
years of age and his wife was 81. Several
children survive
The dispute which led to Boyntons hor-
rible act occurred early this morning.
Miss Annie Mongovan, a dress maker,
who lives in the Boynton house, heard
loud words, followed by sounds indicating
htat Mrs. Boynton had run down the
stairs, with her husband after her. In a
moment Mrs. Boynton was heard to
scream for help. Miss Mongovan ran to
her assistance, and found Mr.. Boynton
holding his wife on the floor and pound
ing her head with his fists. Miss Mongov-
an ran out of the house to summon as
sistance. just as two rapid pistol shots
were fired, followed, a moment later, by
two more. When she returned to the
house in company with several neighbors,
Mrs. Boynton was found lying on the floor
of the rooom, her head and face a mass
of bruises and two bullet wounds in her
forehead. She lay in pool OF blood,
fully dressed.
Her husband was lying on the bed, his
forehead likewise pierced by two bullet
wounds and the revolver was resting upon
his breast Near the bed was an axe
which had evidently been used upon his
wife before the sooting.
The Boyntons have from time to time,
lived apart. Mrs. Boynton was highly re-
spected. Four grown up sons comprise
the family.
About six years ago, Mr.. Boynton was
committed to an asylum for treatment for
a mild form of insanity, but he was dis
charged after about four months, ap-
parently cured. During the past five
weeks, he has shown peculiar mental
symptoms, but was not thought to be
seriously affected

NEW YORK'S CAMPAIGN.

Latest GeOrgeite Move.

NEW YORK, Oct. II, 1s97-So far as
general and public expression goes, Tam
many alone of all the political parties re-
joices in the endorsement by the George
ties of the county, borough and assembly
tickets of the Citizens Union. The sach-
ems belive or confess tqbelieve, that this
endorsement will work to their veal and
to the woe of both Low and George, in
that it will turn to Tammany's support
many German, labor and free silver voters
that would have fallen to Low or George
had the absolute division between the two
been preserved in tact. Tammany is well
pleased, too, at the very decided refusal
of the Central Labor Union to endorse
Mr. George
Col. George F. Waring, who has been
rendered the nomination for Comptroller
on the George City ticket. Col. Waring
is reported as aging he will accept or re-
fuse today. The report that ex-Secretary
Charles S. Fairchild will withdraw, as
candidate for Comptroller, from the
Citizens Union ticket, and be replaced by
Col. Waring lacks authoritative confrma-
tion and is not regarded as probable.
Seth Low will commence, tonight; a Wig
orous campaign and is scheduled for one
or more speeches every evening this week.

WARNING TO VOTERS.

City Clerk M. ]. O'Donnell gives very
important warning to voters in this city.
He draws attention to the fact that to-
morrow is the last day for registration.
The hours are between one in the after
noon and nine o'clock in the evening. Mr..
O'Donnell points out that only half the
registered voters have thought fit to at
tend and personally register. He says
that there is a very general impression
abroad that the registration for the regent
special election is sufficient for this. That
however is grave error. The law insists
that those who desire to vote at the next
election must personally register and to-
morrow is the last day. Those therefore
who desire to exercise their franchise in
November will personally register tomor-
row. Those who don't can't vote.

widespread interest in Alameda and

has been the subject of a great deal of

chick broke it's she'll on Monday last.
The abnormal allowance of limbs did
not attract attention until the downy
little monstrosi:y commenced to move.
Then the surplus Of legs, wings and

was able to move at ease in all direc-

impaired by the unsual number of
limbs scattered about it's tiny body. The
distribution Of the quartet of legs is pc
culiar. Two are naturally located be-

of legs turn toward each other.
