TRAGIC INCIDENT.—JEALOUBT AND MuaMlli.—A tragic incident was witnessed on Thursday week in the Rue Mouffetard, Paris, at two o'clock in the afternoon. Two workmen, named Andrieux and Decugis, were seen walking together, apparently engaged in a violent quarrel, when suddenly Andrieux , drew a revolver from his pocket, and, placing it close to his companion's chest, fired. Decugis, on receiving the shot, attempted to stagger across the street to a chemist's shop, but Andrieux fired three more shots at him, two of which struck him in the back, the other breaking the window of a shop on the other side of the street. Andrieux, though a man of great strength, allowed himself to be seized by the passers-by, and was handed over to the police, while his victim Decugis was taken into the chemist's and examined. The third shot was more dangerous than the others, having entered the body between two ribs, and passed through the left lung. As soon as possible, the wounded man was carried to the hospital and placed under the care of an experienced surgeon, who entintaine but little hope of saving his life. The crime is attributed to jealousy on the part of Andrieux. It appears that the two men had long been frien is, and, profiting by the intimacy, Decugis had eloped with the wife of Andrieux, who followed the guilty couple, and induced his cite to return. Decugis, however, insinuated hiihself into the household a second time, and again eloped with Madame Andrieux, who this time took away all her husband's savings, amounting to £BO. On this Andrieux sought Decugis out, and the scene of Thursday was the result of the interview. Some compassion is expressed for Andrietut, who is described as a labbrions, frugal man, and who committed I the terrible act under the worst of all provocations.
