TRAfiEDY AT HITSVILIE' â€" â€" - â€" â- â€¢ â€" -mf Nelson Smith Shot His Wife and Committed Suicide A despatch from nunlsvlllc, Ont., •ssy-s: A double tragedy was enacted l.<rc on Friday, resulting in the drath of Nelson Smith, formerly of .\llai- dale, Ont.. and his young wife, formerly .Miss Martha Goldi<! of this place, who has been for some weolcs visiting at the liome of h?r parents jusl outside the town of Huntsville. Tlie details of Ihe murder and .^uicide ere as follows:â€" Mr. Smith, who has boen for some lime past an employee o' Ihe Gait, Ilespoler & Berlin Railway, arrived in Huntsville early Friday morn- ing, and afler breakfa.sting at an hotel prficoodcd lo the home of his wife's par- ents on the opposite bank of the river from the town. On the way he called al tho district schoolhouse and inquired o' his little" son, who was in atlenil- ance, if his mother was al home, and upon reckHving an allirmative answer, [>roceed«?d to the house. Upon Ijeiiig admitted he was shown Into th? parlor, and received by his wife and molhcr-in- l!,w. Mrs. James (toldie, and he engaged 11! friendly conversation wilh them 'or some time, exhibiting no signs of anger or pxcitemont. Mrs. Goldic, sen , left the room for a few moinonts, and was horrifietl lo hear tcrrin.id scroams and two revolver stiots ill quick succession, and upon entering the room found the muj-deror standing over the body of his dead wife, with tlie revolver still in his hand. She altempt- eo to disarm him, but he rushed past her out lo the ground, and. puU:ng the revolver lo his head, blew his own brains out. Tho cause of Ihe tragedy is not defi- nitely known as yet, but is believed to have been insane and unreasoning jeal- ousy on Ihe purl of the husband. The nmrdercd woman was about 30 yearj of age, and very popular and highly re- spected in this her native lown. Seme of these sold up to .SO, and one cr two al even more than that. Cihoice heavy export bulls in several instances sold al $5. There wore a very fow choice specimens of butchers' cattle, which sold as high as .$6, but the great majority could not be classified a^ tiet- le" than medium quality. There is a strong d«;mand for cows and bulls for butchering purposes, and the price of some of the best of these appMU'tied $5. w'hile anything that sold ut less than $3 was of very poor qua- lilv. Even canncrs were higher at $1.- 50 to $2.50. Not many storker.s wore offered and the demand continues steady, but prices are not advanc<Hl. The offerings of calves have been very heavy of .late and the market is becom- ing loaded up with them. The .prices have eased off oonsitlerably. Sheop and lambs arc steady and quiet. Spring lambs are quoted imchanged. The hog market is weak. The <lc»- mand is rather quiet, as the provision trade is dull al this season. NO REDICTION IN WAGES.

The beief is growing thai Mrs. Giin- r.ess was not burned in the fire at her hime, but that Ihe body supposed to tc hers is realiy that of another wo-mun.'
