BOTH ARE NOW DEAD
 SENSATIONAL SHOOTING
Husband and Wife Quarreled-She Left Home and He Was Bringing Her Back-The Quarrel Was Renewed on the Train and Ended Up by the Man Shooting His Wife and Then Himself.

Augusta, Me, April 29.--Nrs W. E. Osgood of Hiram, who was shot by her husband on board the express train bound from Boston to St John, N. B., during the night, died at the Augusta city hospital early to-day. Osgood died soon after being removed from the ex- press at the station here. The tragedy was due to domestic difficulties.
 Osgood and his wife, it is said, had not lived happily at their home in Hiram and during previous disputes he is alleged to have threatened to shoot her. As the result of these threats, it is understood, the woman decided to leave her husband, and last Tuesday she took passage by steamer for Bos- ton. It is thought that Osgood on re- ceipt of intelligence that his wife had gone to Boston, started after her in an effort to intercept her, or failing in this, to persuade her to leave that city and return nome.
 Conductor M M. Tarr. who was in charge Of the train, says that the cou- pie entered first class coach at Port land and occupied one seat. When the train was stopped at a station the other passengers heard Osgood and his wife quarreling. A few moments later Osgood stood up and when hls wife requested him to be seated he drew a revolver and deliberately aim ing it at her lead. fired. The bullet en- tered the left temple, the woman fall ing over in inconsistencies Before any person could interfere the man pointed the revolver at his own head and fred He fell in the aisle of the car. Train hands removed the couple to the baggage car. When the train arrived at Augusta a few minutes after 1 o'clock they were taken into the bag gage room of the station, where Os- good expired before the hospital ambu- lance arrived Mrs Osgood was taken to the hospital. She fingered until 5 o'clock this morning, but died without having regained consciousness.
 Mrs Osgood wdS a Mrs M. c. Mor- ton. formerly of this city. Two or three years ago she was married and since then mad resided at Hiram. Osgood was native of Hiram. He was about 40 years old and his wife about 35. Two weeks ago he said his wife had left him and he was going to l find her. He sold out his household goods by auction and went away last l Saturday. He had been travelina salesman for the Portland branch oi John F. Squire & Go and for BostoT | beef houses.
