AN UNHAPPY HOME
Causes Andy johnson, an Oil Man, to
Shot Himsels-The Wound Likely
+o provs Fatal

to Prove Fatal
Special Dispatch to the lntclligencer
PARKERsBURG. W. Va, April 10
Andy Johnson an employe of the Clark
Oil Company, shot himself this morn
ing at Cairo. n short distance east Of
this city, and will die. There is no
doubt that the intent was suicide. The
time OF the shooting was $3.50 this morn
ing. His home was the scene Of the
enactment of the tragedy and his wife
and her children were the Mortified
spectators of the CHASTITY sight
He used a S2-calIbre revolver, placing
its muzzle on his bosom over his heart.
The bullet went clear through him and
lodged lust under the cutlcle on mis-
back. The physicians did not try to
cut II out, because they deemed 1t un-
necessary as they did not believe that
the man could live only few hours.
A man named Newman was the first
outsider to arrive and to him Johnson
said that he.had done the shooting just
to raise hell" These were the last
words he has spoken. He has been
lying at the point of death since. and
this evening there is thu gradual sinking
that presages death.
johnson and his wife have not lived
happily for some months. Last night
there was trouble at the house and
johnson in u ut of rage, knocked his
wife down.
They had been married year in jan
uary. Two years ago he and his first
wife were divorced.
1t is said he was cruel to his frst wife
because of jealousy and she secured II
legal separation and the custody Of
their two children. She was Miss Nor
gan, Of Toll Gate, RItchie county. In
a short time after. he married a widow,
Mrs. Carl. who had two children by a
former marriage.
He was not n drinking man, but was
naturally jealous. In neither marriage
has there been shown cause for this
emotion. but he entertained 1t in a large
degree and so much did he brood over
last nights brpachand personal violence
that he tried 20 xii! himself from re-
morse.

PACKING UP

And Leaving the Croton Dam Dis
trict-Laborers Will Seek Employ
ment Observation-Disclosures by
the Military.
CRoToNLANDING, N. Y, April 10
One Of the most startling effects of the
presence OF the military at the Croton
valley dam is the anxiety exhibited by
many Of the more peaceful OF the strik-
ing Italians to Pack up their little be-
longlngs and seek work elsewhere. Full
ly arty OF them left the Croton Land
ing railroad depot to-day beund for New
York. None Of them would say very
much, but all OF them acknowledged
that they were going to look for work in
some other quarter as they wish to
avoid trouble. That they were scared
by the imposing military display is GER
tain and even among the belllgerent IT.
alians the coming Of Che troops has had
salutary influence.
At Z O'Clock this morning work was
resumed the same as yesterday. but
there were no more labOrers on hand.
Only the same gang OF about thirty who
have been quartered at the works turn
ed out and very little progress was
made. General Roe said to-day that
the outlook was much more promising
and that while there were only few
laborers on hand. the fact that absolute
protection would be AFFORDED those who
wanted to return to work would un-
doubtedly prove effective.
