DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Woman Murders Her Husband
and Then Commits Suicide.

NEW BRUNSWICK IN. j. Aug. g.
A murder and suicide which occurred
late last night was discovered this
afternoon in South River, a village six
six miles from here.
Charles Yohanden, a blind man, 43
years of age, and his wife, Cristina,
three years his junior, were both found
dead. 1t is the general opinion that
the woman killed her husband and then
committed suicide.
The Yohandens managed the Hoff-
man House, a little hotel on Main
street They did not live happily to-
gether, often quarreling about money.
The house was not opened for busi-
ness this morning as usual. AT noon
investigated. Lying on a
stairway leading to the floor UP stairs
was found the body of the blind land
lord. There was a piece of clothes
line about his throat, showing plainly
how he had been suffocated. In the
kitchen Mrs. Yohanden was found
dead. Her throat was cut. The theory
that the wife committed the double
crime is strengthened by the fact that
the knife with which her throat had
been cut was found in her hand.

The war over the Balzac statue had
gone merrily on in Paris until it had de-
come as dangerous a question to dis
cuss as the INSTRUMENTATION war or
the Dreyfus case. Up to date, how
ever, no duels have been announced.
But for the beneficent offer of Auguste
Pellerin, wealthy manufactures, to
buy the unfortunate and much abused
statue, a long legal battle between the
sculptor and the Societe des Gems de
Iettres seemed inevitable. 1t was
hoped that NJ Robins price would not
be so stiff as to offend the generosity Of
the manufacturer. Balzac's statue was
TO have been erected in the gardens of
the Palais Royale. The trouble was
precipitated by the following resolution
recently passed by the Societe des Gems
de Lettres: THE committee of the So
ciete des Gems de Lettres is compelled,
and regrets to be compelled, to protest
against the ebauche which M Rodin has
exhibited at the Salon, and in which
he refuses to make evident the statue
of Balzac.'' And now the news. comes
that the tribulations Of the unfortu-
nate ebauche Of the great writer are
over. NJ. Rodin has taken luncheon
with NJ. Pellerin, and after the meal
contract was signed by which the
Balzac" became the property of the
manufacturer for the sum of 10000
frances Mr.. Pellerins acquisition has
just a touch of the business investment
in it. however. for he has given out that
should the committee which was formed
TO acquire the statue obtain the neces-
sary funds, and at the same time the
consent of the Municipal Council to
erect it in public place, NJ. Pellerin is
open to a bid; otherwise the completed
statue will be erected on the Neuilly es-
tate of NJ. Pellerin.

This big circus institution is making a
splendid record this season, receiving
nothing but words of praise from the

ing is taken from lengthy article which
recently appeared in the Mt. Carmel PAY

Space alone will not permit our giving
credit that is justly due to the Great
Wallace Circus, which showed here yes
terday. For good, honest. conscientious
work they deserve lot of good things
being said of them. The man that ad-
vertises his wares, and then gives even
better than he contracts for, is philan-
thropist and his name is ''few" and Mr.
Wallace can be classed among these few.
Why go into lengthy dissertation on
the individual features of the show7
Their own press notices deal in that kind
Of goods and we know, now, that they
are of quality just a shade superior to
what it is claimed for them. If mention
must be made, the first to demand re-
cognization would be the Nelson family.
