The Rev. Orion Clemens, brother of Mark Twain- 
and lately expelled front an Iowa Presbyterian

li the Great Orion.” 
Henry Young killed his wife at I Ittsfleld, Mass.,

The Princess Louise has been making the excit¬ 
ing trip down the slides, near Ottawa, on a raft.

Peer, who jumped from the suspension bridge at

preserver, to lessen the depth of his penetration 
into the water a sponge over his month and nostrils 
to prevent the water from being forced Into them; 
and thick doth over his feet and legs, to protect,

Lawyer Gallagher of San Francisco was desper¬ 
ately In love with Mabel Curran, but. she eared 
very little lor him. He went to her house when 
she was ill, forced his way to her bedside, and 
asked her If she would marry him. She replied 
that she certainly would not. ••Then,” he said, 
as he drew a revolver. “ you shall be united to me 
in death,” and he tired two shots—one at her and 
one at himself, i p (o this point the affair was 
dramatic, and Gallagher no doubt intended a real 
tragedy, but hla aim was bad. Mabel escaped the 
bullet by rolling over quickly, and ir, simply made 
a hole In her night-dress, while the wound that 
he inflicted on himself penetrated only to the 
breast bone.
