JEAL 0USY AND WHISKY
CAUSE DOUBLE TRAGEDY,
Terrible Work Done by louis Tou-
revflIe with His Pistol.

Elkins, w. Va, March Jealousy
and whisky were the cause of a double
tragedy here to-day. Louis Toureville,
who resides within the city limits, is
dead, as is also the infant child Of
John Meyers, and Mrs. Toureyille and
Mrs. Meyers are seriously injured.
About O'Clock this afternoon Toure-
vile went to his home and began be-
rating his wife and threatening to
shoot her. She took refuge on the roof
of the house, but being discovered by
Toureville, the woman jumped to the
ground and started for the woods,
Toureville shooting at her as she ran.
When opposite the home of John
Meyers, Toureville encountered Mrs
Meyers with her infant child in her
arms. His anger then turned to her,
and, accusing her of his trouble, he
raised the pistol and fired. The ball
struck the child in the neck, ploughing
clear through it and wounded its
mother in the cheek.
officers Simons and Kechenderfer i'm
mediately started to place Toureville
under arrest, but he held them at bay
until his ammunition was exhausted,
when he fed into his own home and
blew his brains out with a shot gun.

MINORITY WANTS
INVESTIGATION
P0ST0FFICE DEPARTMENT
SHOULD HAVE CONDUCT OF ITS AT
FAIRS LOOKED INTO.

Another Resolution Providing for
an Investigation By Special
Committee of the House Has Been
Introduced Information DeveI-
oped nj the Recent Hearing Upon
the Postofiice Appropriated Bill.
The second Resolution.
Washington, March IAN investlga-
ton of the Postoffice Department by
a special committee of the House of
Representatives is being urged by the
minority members of the House Conn
mittee on Posloffices and Post Roads.
A resolution to this end, introduced
in the House Jan. last by Representa-
tive Hay, Democrat, of Virginia, was
duplicated to-day by Representative
Cowherd, Democrat, of Missouri. Mr..
Cowherd is a member of the Postoffice
Committee; Mr.. Hay is not, and the
re-introduction of the resolution is re-
garded as a move to bring the matter
to a head in the near future.
The hearings had by the committee
in the preparation of the postofffce ap-
preparation bill, it is declared devel-
oped considerable information. The
subcommittee before which officials of
the department made explanations of
their estimates is to lay the informa-
ton obtained before the fun committee
in the near future. This information
includes, it is stated, evidence of sew
eral hundreds of violations of law by
members of the House importuning the
increase of salaries of rural postmas-
tiers and the increase of force in post
offices where such increase was not
absolutely justified by the facts, but
which were granted by officials of the
department. These violations of law
included a limited number Of cases
where members of the House have
leased their property to the govern
lnent for postofiice purposes.
Mr.. Hay declared that he would ask
the House to discharge the commit
tee from consideration of his resolu-
ton demanding an investigation and
have the same called up in the House
for the consideration of that body.
