GERMAN COUNT KILLS HIS WIFE
Found In Young Nephew's Arms Is Re-
port-Woman Of Rare Beauty
Husband Tried to Shoot Himself.

Berlin.-A double tragedy occurred
at the castle of Dakowymokre, near
Posen, when Count Matthias Brudze-
wo Won Mielzynski, Polish aristocrat
and a member of the reichstag, shot
and killed his wife and Count Alfred
Won Mianzynski, her 24-year-old neph-
ew, whom he found alone together.
The countess is said to have been
found dead in the arms of her nephew,
who was shot in the neck. After the
affair the count retired to his study
and wrote letters to his relatives ex
planning his act. He took a few hours
sleep and then gave himself up to the
authorities. Being a member of the
reichstag, he enjoys immunity from
arrest except by the consent of par
lament, so he was permitted to re
maih in the castle throughout the day
under nominal surveillance by the po
lice.
Accounts differ regarding the exac
circumstances Of the tragedy.

pectations. The following advances
are noted for the week: Mica axle

Butter-The soft weather of the
past week and the further approach
OF spring has had weakening effect
on the butter situation and as re-
suit the wholesale price is off &c this
week, the quotations being 33c and 35c
for Washington creamery and SAC and

ter market was fairly healthy in shape
so far as fancy creameries were con-
cerned, but medium grades were slow
and inclined to accumulate. There
was a downward tendency in prices
the fore part of the week at New
York, but was later checked probably
due to the cold weather that pre-
vailed.

eggs the price remains the same as

ket is concerned, the quotations be
