BATTLE ON sTREErcAR.


| Over I7nHefor.
San Francisco, OCT. 81 As a result
OF sroutle over transfer slip On Polk
street car o: the United Railroads sys-
tenn Saturday evening, one man was
shot and killed, another 50 seriously
wounded that death will probably en-
sue, and two other men less severely
injured.
When the car left the ferry to pass
ont Mission street, on its way to Polk,
it wAs packed with passengers, includ
ing men returning from work, and wo-
men and children who bad been acrose
the hay. The crowded condition Of
the car made II difficult for the CON
ductor to collect fares and, when Polk
street was reached, both he and the I'M
comfortably crowded passengers were in
condition Of irritable nervousness.
The man who started the trouble, ac-
cording to his own admissions to the
police, WAS John Monger. He said that
when no paid his fare, early on the
trip, he had asked the conductor for
transfer. Brown was busy and told
Monser to wait awhile. Monger re-
pested his request several times, and
Brown failed to hand him the slip
Finally Monger concluded that Brown
did not intend to give him the ticket,
and struck ut the conductor. The lat
ter dcdged the blow and struck back al
Mongsr, striking him In the face and
knocking him down.
II was " this juncture that the
shooting commenced. At the same
time some one threw of the trolley and
the car came to standstill. The stop
page Of the car, coupled with the noise
In the rear, led the motorman to be-
lieve that his mate was In danger and,
revolver In hand, be pushed his way
through the crowded passengers.

ONCE A LUNATIC,
NOW SHOOTS WIFE
Noses MarciIle of Dana, Mass, Then
Turned the Gun on Himself and
Died.

Dana, Mass, March 22.--Moses Mar.
cii,e, the blacksmith of this village. shot
his wife and then committed suicide last
night by putting bullet into his own
brain It is not believed that she can
long survive. Temporary insanity is as.
eribed as the cause of Marcilles act.
Marcille was an industrious man, and
his neighbors say that as far as sthey
know there had never been any serious
quarrel between him and his wife, and
the family was q happy one. He was
about So years of age and he had been
engaged in the blacksmithing business
in the little shop on Dana common a
short distance from his home for nearly
score of years.
After closing up his shop last night
and going to his home, he ate sumner
with bis family, consisting Of his wife.
his son, Joseph, aged 81 wears. and his
daughter, Blanche, 10 years of age. and
was seemingly in good spirits. Shortly
after the meal was ended, Joseph Mar
eille went TO the village store TO PASS
the evening with companions. His fa
tlier, about the same time. went to his
blacksmith shop, where it is supposed
he secured the revolver with which he
committed the deed.
lie then returned to his home and ae
cording to his daughter, had an alter.
cation with his wife about some appal.
emily trivial matter. Marcile followed
his wife to the pantry and took hold Of
her as if TO shake her A brief scufie
followed, which was ended when the
man drew revolver from his pocket
and fired shot which penetrated Mrs.
Marcille's left shoulder.
AIns. Marcille attempted 10 run by
him, whereupon he turned and fred
again, the bullet this time entering her
back near the right shoulder. He then
placed the muzzle Of the revolver to
his head and blew out his brains.
When Joseph Marcille and neighbors.
who had been summoned bv the daueh.
Ter, Blanche, ffcm the village store. had
reached the house, they found both the
man and woman lying on the floor of
the kitchen, the man IN a dying condi-
tion and the woman unconscious. Mar.
ellie lived but a few minutes. Mrs Mar.
ollie was removed to chamber where
physicians examined her. They declared
her condition serious and said It was
doubtful If she lived until morning.
Marcille came to Dana twenty.three
years ago and remained here, engaged
in the business Of blacksmithine, for
fifteen years, when, on account Of Are
which destroyed his home, he removed to
Fab River. He remained IN that city
three years, part Of which time he
was an inmate of an insane ASYLUM.
About five years ago he returned to Dana
and resumed business as a blacksmith.
