Bight Alf red Smith, a Bailor, beal two women to death
With a hummer, laid their bruised and blooding bodies
across a bed, cut bia own throat with a raxor, and lay
down |?t dla between tko twa corpses. The murderous
work was done so quietly that the [other occupants or
tho building wera Bot disturbed hy any unusual no.se,
and the fact of tho tragedy waa not discovered
until tins nontax, when tbe woman Janitor of the block
on ker dally round, heard lubdned groan* laanlag from
room No. 96, and. getting n stepladder climbed ta the
transom over the door and looked lu. Itv the light that
came in through tho half ,1,likened windows, abc waa
nb.o to see that blood stained tl,e door mid Ike cover of
the bed lu the corner, she at once Warned the
police nt the City Hull, across the street. The
Vletlma of tho desperate mau were his wife,
who was known BB a clairvoyant, and Mrs. Louise Wilson,
ot Detroit, who had been hired by Mrs. Smith to do
some BBWtag and afterward became ber companion.
Ure. Smith on Krl.tay Meit a petition for iv divot** from
her husband, charging bim with druiikiuneaa, neglect
and cruelty. They were married twenty .veals ago In
OawagO County, 2t. V., and lived together peacefully, If
not happily tor seventeen yean, lu tko last three yean,

Nolie* of ike anil waa aerved on Smith yesterday and
lu ike eventual he beoome much excited about the mat?
ter. He visited hi- wife's apartments, Mini about lil
o'clock became Violently abu-ive. Au Olfloer was called
In, ami he Induced Smith to quit the place. As if fear Ina
danger, Mri. smith sent ber son and daughter, axe
twelve ami tifieen respectively, to spend the nlnht with
frletida, thus, perhaps, saving them from tho wrath Of
their father. The corpse-, ns thev were found by the
officers, were blood-stainsd and hideous smith lay be
tween the twa women, lils arius clasped
BbOUl tbC dead li, dy of bis wife. Mrs.
Smith's face was beaten lo a Jelly
andherekull fractured in many places, expoaing the
brain. Mis. Wilton'* bead waa cruabedand brr brains
wereacattered all over the bel. it waa evtdeat that
Smith had entered the room through a window in the
hall and hud slain tbe women while they slept, 'ben
aei/lag a ralzor hw cut a cash ni Ins throat. Tkejuxn
lar vein was Bot severed, however, and lt was bil groaai
that excited ihe susp.lions of lin Janitor. Ile was nut
dead, though uncon-cloiis, winn removed to the hos?
pital, and lt ls Believed he may recover. The police hold
bun under arnot.

'I miii's'K abo it a year ago, there has been no case of
?ueh general Interest to tho BMdleal profession as the

Hospital. Tad case is not only of Interest boca nae af its
boldness and the exceeding delicacy with which lt waa
carried through, but also because surgery. In tbi*
inst.mee, triumphed over nature lu a remarkable niun
ner, and fur tue first time In America scored a
tuccess in an OperattOO of tho loud performed.
The patient, was Jaka .fames, a colored mau, lifty-seveu
yeai-old, of Bo. 199 South Firth ave. Late on Hie
night of December ?_'<> last James went to his bumble
home niter a hard day'* work. Upon entering his
apar'n.. nt he found a tail, stalwart B0XT0 named Thomas
I* conversation with his wife, lin called upon Thoma*
for an expl.niatloa of hi* presence. Thu answer that be
received wu-ii powerful blow on the bead from Thomas.
Then tue two men grappled, while Hie wo.nun screamed
for help. They fell to the Hoof and roiled over and over.

hand upon bis tb oat, he seised a knife with tim other,
sana U lu Cbs bill in bis victims ubdoiiien and theo
Sleeked downward with all lils strength. James stopped
struggling rmi Thoma*, thinking he had killed him,

The noise nf the conflict attracted tho attention of a

cabed un ainnuiaiice and the man. who looked us
if he were dy I n <, was romoved to St. V,n

cis Bayard,wife of the fteeretary of Ktate, died thia morn?
ing al half past H o'clock. Her death aaa uol unexpecfc*
?d. Since Thursday morning ber family liss had little
hope of her recovery. Tbe shock caused by tbe sudden
death of her daughter two weeks ago wa* a ulow from
which she never raided, although she tuiprised bel
husband and children by tho strength she seemed
to gather after tho first effect. After ...o funeral
of her daughter, Mrs. Havan) went about tho houae for
a day or two, attending to little household duties as had
been her way before, but lt was beyond the strength ot
a woman broken In health for many years, and a week
ugo sha was again prostrated. Her physic!.m. Dr. Gard?
ner, was hopeful until Thursday morning, when con?
gestion of the bram rendered her condition hopeless.
Mr. llayard, who ofter returning fruin bl* daughter's
funeral, bud goue. to the State Department everyday for
a little while, was sunni,unod from a Cabinet meeting bj
a note from one of hisdaugbtert saying tbst ber mother's
Illness alarmed them, and begging him to come home at
once, lie said immediately, " I have no thither hope."
fflom that time .Mrs. Bayard grew worse, sowly stubing.
For thirty-six hours before bat death -he waa union
scious. tshe. passed away as poac fully a* lt in sleep.
Mri. Kayard's last appearance lu public was at the
Wliitn House at thu duiner given to the Cabinet. She,
seemed unusually well, and tonie of the company con?
gratulated her on brr good health .mi spirits, (she re?
plied : ?? oh, yes, I feel unite well this winter. I am to
much strohger.sliice my illness last summer and I enjoy
everything ram, It seems to do mo good to go out."
On New-Year's day ?he assisted at tho President's re?
ception at tho White House, aud ou the ttalBlday week

Mi -s Cleveland, taging the llrst place lu the lilue l'.ouui,
Just back of the Hm, and the position of honor, accord?

Mrs. Hivard was Mist Lu m.i Lee, daughter of tho
junior member of tho old Itatlimoro banking
linn, Johnson ii Lee. .-no. was tue,
mother of ten children, of win.in jiine are living.
Long continued 111 heiltb gave ber the appearance of
being older, but she was about lif'y one years of age.
tslio was a Lill, slender woman, with li.rge dark eyes, of
gentle dignified bearing. Hue social i|uuluiei. intelligent,
cultured ami wnilling, tad larnaad i-< her domestic re
lollara Although lil hcuii'u bad lor year- lessened ber
activity, siie was a ratable bgure lu ff/aafctagtaa tociety.
To a friend who mei her shopping, about a mouth bo
fore ber daughter's death, she laid: "You see how
well I'm getting this winter. I have been so much of
au invalid, but my husband and children, I fear, havu
been too cnn fm ot me and made me more helpless tbau
I ought to be."
