DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Man Shoots His Young Wife and
Then Commits Suicide.


BINGHAMTON IN. ", Dec. 21.--
John Edgar Gardiner, in order to get
his picture in print, shot his young wife
and then killed himself to-day.
Gardiner was 80 years OF age, his
wife 20. They had been married but
a short time, and were living apart on
account of his bad habits. On sew
eral occasions he had asked how she
would like to see their pictures in a
local paper. His wife took fright at
this, and forbade him to speak to her
on the subject. He called at the
house to-day and asked her to come
out, as he was going West. She de-
clined, and he forced his way into her
apartments and saying. See what
have bought you," drew a revolver and
shot her twice, one bullet passing
through her arm, the other entering
her side. The woman was able to rush
from the house to neighbours. When
the police officer arrived Gardiner
walked to. the center of a room in full
view of the officers, and, placing the
weapon to his head. killed himself.

GoFF THE WINNER.
Knocked Godfrey Thorne Out In
the Second Round.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Charley Golf
of California defeated the English mid
dleweight boxer, Godfrey Thorne, in
less than two rounds before the Her
cules Athletic Club in Brooklyn to-
night.
The men met at catchweights, but
there was very little difference between
them. Towards the end of the ex-
tremely fierce first round Thorne went
down from a right-hand cross on the
jaw. He took three seconds Of the
count, and rose as aggressive as ever,
giving Golf several facers before the
bell.
The second round was as hot as it
was brief. Golf went at his man in
smashing style, and with scarcely a
return, froced the pace In hurricane or
der, finally sending Thorne down and
out with left swinging smash on the
jaw. 's' 80. -

The Bulldog Fire.

Last Monday morning about 4:3O
the fire bell sounded an alarm, and
the fire boys and citizens tumbled
out of bed to find the little house
which covered the engine at the
Bulldog mine on fire. Water was
soon turned on and the fire put out,
hut the house was totally ruined.
1t is not known exactly how the fire
caught, but H. V. Clinton, one of
the owners of the property, had
built fire in the stove in the house
that morning and lit candle and
stuck it into the side of the wall in
miners candlestick. He started
the engine and went home to feed
his horse AS he was returning to
the mine he saw the house all in
flames and gave the alarm. The
fire probably caught from the stove
or the candle was Jared down from
the wall and set fire to the greasy
floor. The gasoline engine is some
what damaged, the brass trimmings
being melted off and the shaft
