Peter Laugier Shot Wife before
Putting Three Bullets in
His Own Body.
DAUGHTERS DEATH CAUSE
Tragedy NJ White River Junction FOL
lowed Quarrel Said to Have Becn
started by Charges of Neglect
in Not Calling Doctor
Earlier.

White River Junction. May 2Sv-Tn
the little hamlet Of Russtown beyond
the state fair grounds and two miles
from this village, there occurred at
1890 this afternoon Il shocking trag-
edy when Peter Laugler, husband
and father. met Il violent death at his
own hands after he had attempted to
kill his wife whom he seriously, if not
fatally. wounded. The whole affair
followed a sudden quarrel which began
by his accusing Mrs. Laugier of neglect
in not calling a doctor earlier in the
last Illness of their 1S-year old daugh-
eer, who died last week of pneumonia.
With his wife and two children, Pet
ter Laugicr. who was about 80 years
pf age, had been living for year on
what is known rs the Paddleford farm
and this he had purchased within 4
fcw months 10 make a permanent home.
All had gone well until last week when
their daughter, for two years past en-
plovod in the family of George West
of this village, became i'll with pncu-
lnonia and died May 49, The death
seemed to prey upon the mind of I4aug-
Ter and 1t was noticed that his actions
were unusual. This noon he accused
his wife of neglect because she had not
called doctor until two days after
the daughter had become i'll. This. 1t
IS said. led to tho quarrel which cul-
minated in the crazed man drawing a
revolver and shooting Mrs Laugier in
the neck. Believing that he had killed
her, I.auEier rushed ont of doors and
put three bullets into his own body,
rroppinp dead in his tracks
He had always been a steady, hard
working man and was well spoken of
ny his noiEhhors. He had two married
daughters living at the Junction be-
side the children already mentioned.

GOOD TEACHERS NOT NECESSARILY
SPINSTERS.
From the Montpelier journal.

trl'In til' h'itI'lltT natl
The journal has believed that it was
their own business when the Barre
school directors decided not to employ
married women as teachers, but, as
long as the matter has become State
topic of some Importance, 1t might he
well to ask who would be more likely
to understand children better, the
spinstcr who knows them theoretically
or the matron who has children of her
own?
There is no answer
The decision may rob Barre of some
of her best instructors. Good teachers
are borrDnot made, and the directors
who discover one ought to retain he:
whether she Is married. single or di-
vorced.
And the question of giving employ
mont to unwed women has no business
in the AFFAIR at all. The directors are
supposed to secure quality They don't
exercise their office in any sense of be-
ing a guardian of the unmarried fe-
males in their city who may need tho
money.
