AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
A HUSBAND SHOT IN BED BY
HI8 WIFE.
A OEAZY WOMAN'S FEAEFU1, DEED
Rendered Wild by Pain and buffering,
She Shoot* Her Husband While He
Peacefully Sleep» Beeide Her In Bed.
Baltimore, Aug. 7.—representative
of one of the moat artotfx.r»tic families in
the United States, and a member of the
family of General Washington, was shot
and killed early this morning by hfs wife,
whose birth is equal to that of the slain
man's. The tragedy occurred about two
miles from Relstertown, Baltimore county.
Lewis Lawrence Conrad, a well-known Bal
timore lawyer, was the victim, and the un
happy woman is his wife, Minnie Worthing
ton Conrad. The husband and wife had
been living for some time at Montmorency,
the estate of Mr-*. Martha G. Worthington,
Mrs. Worthington, who is the mother oi
Mrs. Conrad, was awakened about 1 o'clock
by her daughter, who ran into her room
crying:
"Mother I have killed my husband. Oh,
my Godl I have killed him."
Mrs. Worthington sprang to her feet,and,
rushing to her daughter,discovered that she
had in her hand a small revolver. Mrs. Worth
ington's shrieks brought her son John Tolly
Worthington to the scene, and together they
hurried to Mr. Conrad's room. They found
t hat gentleman lying upon the bed, his head
in a pool of blood and a large wound in the
left side of his head, from which the blood
was slowly oozing.
AN INSTANTANEOUS DEATH.
A messenger was at once dispatched for
Dr. J H. Dickson, at Reisterstown, who ar
rived at the house shortly after. The doctor
saw at once that life was extinct, and upon
examination found that death bad beeu in
stantaneous. The ball had entered the left
side of the head, about an Inch and a half
above the ear, and had penetrated to the
centre of the brain.
The uews of the terrible occurrence spread
rapidly, and by daylight a number of friends
and acquaintances had called to &6certaiu
the truth ol the report and condole with the
family. Mrs. Conrad had in the meantime
been removed to another room in a violent
state of hysterics. She was perfectly rational,
however, and gave a lucid and clear statc
me t as far as her excited condition would
permit, going to show that the shooting may
save been accidental.*
RESOLVED UPON SUICIDE.
The lady has been suffering since last Jan
uary with
and lK)wels, which at stated periods seemed
almost to derange her mind. She stated to
tiie doctors that last night her suffering was
so great that she h (i resolved upon suicide
as the only method of relief, and to that end
had taken to lied with her a small revolver,
and secreted the weapon beneath her pillow.
Between 12 and 1 o'clock she said her suf
ferings became unbearable, and she seized
the pistol, resolved to end her life. In turn
ing it. around, however, the weapon exploded
killed her husband. She does not re
member whether her husband awoke or not,
but from the position of the body it is
thought that Mr. Conrad was awakened by
his wile's movements and raised up and en
couraged her to remain quiet.
ACQUITTED BY A JURY.
The admonition coming suddenly upon
her, it is thought, startled the lady, and In
her excited and nervous condition the
weapon exploded. A Coroner's jury re
turned a verdict that the death was from ac
cident.
This verdict, however, is not in accord
with the views of many people in the neigh
borhood, who believe that Mrs. Conrad, in
moment of temporary insanity, pointed
the pistol at her husband's head and fired
There is a streak of insanity running

The Return of the Champion.
Officer Pierson returned from New York
yesterday afternoon, bringing with him the
prize of the champion swimmer of the police
department. He speaks oi his treatment by
the Nonpariel Boat Club, by whom he

officer says that the report published in the
New York papers that he caught hold oi the

strong that he was repeatedly carried
back, aud when he finally got above the
pier, he was dashed against it by the force
of the curreut and pushed himself off, as he
was seen to do by the referee. The
championship badge is of gold and alto

pin is a gold crown inscribed
"Police Gazette Medal, Champion Swimmer

FARMING IN LANCASTER.
Tobacco Raising—Some Comparisons That
Will Surprise Oar Delaware Farmers.
[Special correspondence of the Gazette, j
Refton, Lancaster Co., Pa., August 7.
—A Delawarean visiting Lancaster county,
is surprised at ths reputation it h: s secured
for the excellence of its farm lands
wouders that Delaware has not secured
world wide fame for Its lauds. True, Lan
caster county has arrived at a high state of
cultivation, but there are lots of land no'
five miles from Wilmington
better than any in Lan- aster county.
Why, the farms up here do not average
over 20 bushels of wheat to an acre, while
any good farmer near Wilmington raises
that much, aud many of them have as high
as 30 and 40. Of course the higher figures
are exceptional cases. When your corre
spondeut left Wilmington corn had beeu
opened in the market for sale for some
time, but here It is, with few exceptions,not
ripe yet, and where I am stopping they had
corn i or dinner yesterday, and they
thought it such a wonderful thing
they told all their visitors about their
having corn
He
good if not
early. Another thing that
contributes to the value of land ia, that the
(armors are economical, thrifty and seien
tifle. When I say scientific, I mean they
use the latest improved farming Implements,
farm o i certain and determinate principles
and utilize every foot of land Nothing goes
to w&cte. Something is found to grow
foot of ground and
li stance where the
on every
it is a rare
same a 1 tide is grown the second or third
year on the same land. One year the Lan
caster county farmer w 11 plant corn, the
next he will let the land go as pasture and
then follow that with either wheat or oats.
The tobacco is then put in and kept there
for twu or three years.
There is oue thing that this county leads
in and that is the price of land. One
cannot buy any kind of a farm
whatever for less than $200 to
$2 r i0 an acre, and some land brings
as high as $300. These seem like high fig
, but they are (acts. A iarm near hen
was sold at executor's sale a few days ago
and the terms were cash. The whole farm
of 85 acres brought $16,830, au average of
$198 per acre. In cousequence of this no
such large farms as you meet with lu Delà
seen here, and it is a rare thing to
meet with one containing over 125 acres; 90
and 100 acre farms are spoken of as large
ones- The main cause of these enormous
prices lor land is the growth of tobacco in
these parts. Tobacco has done much for
Lancaster couu'y. It has made many of
the farmers wealthy and made its land val
uable. It pays better than any
other product of the land,
but requires considerable outlay and
attention. Two acres will require one man's
constant time and attention. It amply re
pays him for everything, aud if It turns out
well, will bring him all the way from $250
to $100 an acre, and it is more toward the
latter figure than the former. Since tobacco
has been grown here some farmers who
were worth very little are now very wealthy
and retired, and ruu their farms on shares
with tenunts. There is no reason why it
should uot do the same for Delaware
farmers. It pays better than peaches and
can stand more, and Delaware soil is re
mark ably well adapted for it.

and other New England cities about 11.30
last liight, the wires suddenly ceased to
work« After some delay circuits by way of
Albafiy and by Toronto and Montreal were
secured, and the dispatches were transmitted
by thi|'se routes. To-day the lineman of the
company found that the wires at Scarsdaie—
poiijit on the Harlem railroad, about 25
miles from New York—to the number o*f
twently nine, had been cut, evident y
t>y experienced bands. The wires
comprised the old Mutual Union,
American Union, and Atlantic and Pacific
lines. They divide at thi6 point, some going
to the) nortf and others to the east. Only
the laitter were cut. At Coscob, where 39
wires of the Western Uaiou Compauy cross
the rikrer by meaus of a cable, it was found
that t|he cable-box hud bcun demolished and
the cable cut close to the draw. Other dam

wires in order to turn public sympathy
from the strikers.
In the suit ot Marrlon, Biddle & Marrion

DETAILS OF BARLOW'S FAIL
URE IN VERMONT.
FINANCIAL OEASHES IN BOSTON.
Latent Particulars of the Troubl
of the
Vermont Bank and Railroad President —
Failure» In Beaton.
8t. Albans, Vt., August 7.—Details of
the Barlow failure show a very bad condl
tiou of thinks. It is believed that the Ca
nadian Pacific syndicate deliberately put
Barlow into the hole ou a specious contract
to buy bis road for $3,500,<00, ou thé strength
of which they advanced • him from time to
time $1,300,000, which he used for various
improvements and extensions, some of
which he would not otherwise have made,
they representing that they were to take the
road a.ni wanted it put in shape.
By this meaus they got control oi a ma
jority of the bouds as collateral, and then
made a prg u*t of th^ accident last week to
break off the negotiations and demand the
payment of the loans. They will thus,
probably, get the road lor the amount ad
vanced aud it will be almost indispensable
as the Eastern outlet ol the Canadian Pacific.
Barlow owns $175,000 oi the $200,000 capital
of the Vermont National Bank, aud it holds
his paper for $310,000, secured by $450,000
rtgage bouds of tiie Mom real, Port- •
I Boston railroad, with $50,000 ac
The collateral is
flrsfc
land and
cr>.ed interest coupons,
considered good for the debt The bank's
liabilities to depositors are about $330,000.
The effect of the failure is to depress busi
ng affairs here to day. President Brainard,
of the Trust Company, says that the deposi
tors will not lose mu^h, but the latter are
not so hopeful. The trust company's last
statement showed 2,100 depositors, with de
posits of $600,000
Several railroad men, including Governor
Fairbanks, held a conference to-day at Bar
low's residence. The statement that the
Comptroller approved of the bauk's loan to
the Southeastern railroad was incorrect.
The Comptroller faid it was too large and
suggested its reduction. The First National
Bank expected aud prepared for a run this
morning, but none took place.
MORE TROUBLE IN BOSTON.
Boston, Aug. 7.-Wright, Wooster &
(Jo., wool dealers, at »6 Federal street,failed
to day and made an asslgumedt of all their
property, for the benefit of their creditors,
to Lester Goodwin, oi Newton, oue of the
firms employees. The firm is one of the
prominent wool houses of Boston, and has
done a large business, and the liabilities
thought to aggregate a heavy figure The
concern stood iu very good credit, and has
been considered worth from $100,000, to
$i5i|00» , and the failure is the course of no
little surprise to the trade.
gaids the liabilities, nothing is yet
definitely known, but those conversant with
the firm's business are of he opinion that
they do not exceed $3oo,000. The bulk ©f
this is thought to be owed to the banks,
which have, in the majority of cases, the en
dorsement of John Wooster, lather of Mr.
Wooster of the firm, who is currently re
puted to be worth $500,000, aud who is not,
as far as known, engaged in outside busi
ness, having lettred from the trade several
years since.
W. C. <fc R. M. Silsby, tanners, Troy, N.
Y., have failed in consequence of the failure
of Henry Whitten & Wylan, of Boston. The
Troy aud Boston firms have dealt quite
largely with each other, the former h aving
both bought hides from the Boston firm
and consigned the leather manufactured to
Iu the mutual transaction the
Messrs. Silsby came to owe the Boston firm
quite largely for hides and advances on con
ments.
H. McClure, tanner and furrier, of
Peabody, has also failed. The liabilities of
not definitely known.
The Herald says there were reports in
Lynn this morning of several iailures
count of the suspension ol* Charles W.
Clements, among small manufacturers.
Most of the shoes made for them were for
Mr. Clemente' trade. Samuel Gale wa6
among those reported as embarrassed. None
of the factories aflected by the Clements lall
employ over 30 or 40 bauds, and It is said
their suspension will be only temporary.
The Shaw failure is thought to be
lar-reacliing iu its effect upon some of Lynn'»
business men than the public has yet been
given to understand. The C. H. Ward
statement is thought peculiar, aud places
one of the city financiers iu a position which
he was not thought to occupy.
It is asserted that several suspensions will
occur amoug the small Lynn
during the ensuing lew days, but it is
thought that
volved in any case.
The Traveller says: William B. Fowle,
treasurer of the Auburndalc Watch Com
pany, failed last night. His liabilities are
now supp sed to be small, although nothing
definite has yet beeu learned. The failure
will undoubtedly involve the Auburndale
Watch Company, whose liabilities, it is
thought, will far exceed the assets.
The Funeral of Mr». Smith.
The funeral of Mrs. Charles Smith, who
