Tragedy Caused Through jealousy,

ST. Louis, Sept. 14.--William White,
so years of age, yesterday shot and
fatally wounded Mrs. Alice Bremser
and then tried unsuccessfully to end
his own life. The bullet struck Mrs.
Bremser in the right breast and ranged
downward piercing the lungs. White
then turned the weapon upon himself,
but the bullets intended for his brain
merely plowed furrows in his scalp.
Jealousy was the cause of the tragedy.

JEALOUSY
Prompted a Tilted Girl TO Try to
Try to Murder Her Former Sweet
hearts Wife.

Cleveland, o., January IA sensa-
tional shooting ARRAY took place last
night at the Lexington, a fashionable
apartment house.
A stylishly dressed and handsome

by Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Hanna, dur
ing the absence of the husband, and

volver. Four shots were fired in rapid
succession, only one of which took eff

and has not yet been located by the
police.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna were married at
Christmas. Up to a short time prev
ious Hanna had kept company, it is
said, with Miss Raymond. Jealousy

history of Miss Raymond. The Han
mas refuse to furnish any information
about her, except to give the police a
description of the woman. 1t is said
that she has recently boarded at No.

WAS UNDER DISCUSSIoN-VoTES
TAKEN ON AMENDMENTS.
Washington, d. c., January 1.-THE
House to-day passed the Naval Per-
sonnet bill without division on the
final passage, thus accomplishing what
the officers of the navy have striven
for during o than a decade, BY
its provisions the line and the engineer
corps are welded into an ~amalgamated
line; staff officers are given positive
rank, but their command is limited TO
their own corps, and a system of vol
untary and compulsory retirement on
three-quarters pay as mex higher rank
of forty officers a year is established.
which is designed to remove the con
gestion in the lower rank at 45. The
bin also practically equalizes their pay
WIN Al9I VI III ~ 0AANNAcs AhANt ~
portant amendments were adopted. One
creates a judge advocate corps; an
other abolishes prize money, and a
third provides for the retirement on
three-quarters pay of enlisted men and
petty officers in the navy after thirty
years service.
But the most important change in
the bill as reported was the adoption.
after a hard fight, of a substitute for
the organization of the marine corps.
by which the corps is to consist OF
5000 enlisted men and petty officers,
with general officers and staff. This
will increase the marine corps by 1900
men, and increase the o of its main
tenance ST. 5 600. Several unimport-
ant bills were passed by unanimous
consent before the personnel bill was
taken up
IN THE HOUSE.

ate to-day was devoted to considera-
ton of the pending N~icaraguan canal
bill. Speeches were made in support
of the measure by Mr.. Chiffon, (Texas).

opposition to it by Mr.. Spooner, wis

amendment offered by Mr.. Rawlins,
(Utah), which in brief provided that
the United States should have absoluts
control of the canal for military or
naval purposes, with power to dictate
the use of the waterway during the ex-
istence of var The friends OF the
pending bill rallied against the amend
ment, and it was defeated by the de-
cisive vote of SO TO 8. A provision was
inserted in the bill providing that no
more than S., 200, 600 should be paid the
Maritime Canal Company for it's con-
cession and work already done on the
