Ny.w York, Feb. S3. A glinstly tra
gedy wns enacted Inst eVenlng In the
flvc-story tenement house nt No. 107
Alleh street. Henry Stevens, rendered
insane by jealousy, attempted to kill his
entire household, and succeeded In dan
gerously wounding bis wife and the ser
vant girl, and then put an en'd to his
own life. Tho weapon he used to com
mit tho deed was n lionvy bulldog revol
ver. Two ot the im nets were lirou at his
wife, two nt tho servant girl, nnd the
fifth nnd last was sent through his own
brain,
The suicide was a bartender.
When Slovens returned from work last
night it wns plain to bo seen that ho had
bceil drinking.
The Stevens family occupied the first
apartment on the second floor, consisting
ot three rooms. His wife, his daughter
Lillie, nged flvo years, his fathsr-in-law
and the servant were In the kitchen when
he arrived. Shortly afterward tho house
keeper, Mrs. Schmidt, who lives In the
rear tenement ou the second floor, heard
Stevens and his wife quarreling. A few
ntiniitos later five pistol shots rang out
ill quick succession. Then the two
women, covered with blood, were seen by
people on tho street to rush to one of the
front windows, climb out du the fire
escape and plunge headlong to the side
walk. Mrs. -Stevens was caught by a man who
was passing at tho time, and was carried
in a fainting condition to tho Eldridge
street station. Miss( Smith fell on the
sidewnlk and was carried to n drug store
nearby. Both were afterward removed
to ouveueiir Hospital.
Immediately after the shooting the
neighbor entered the Stevens' apart
ments. One of tho first to enter was
Detective Mooney of the Eldrldge station.
Ho found Stevens' little daughter sitting
in the1 kltclleri Crying.
"Papa just chased mamma In there,"
she said, pointing to the front room,
"ahd shot her."
Detective Mooney pushed open the
door and found Stovons lying dead across
limbed, with a revolver clutched in his
right hand. Blood was pouring from his
right ear. The furniture of tho room
wns overturned, tho window curtains
pulled from their fastenings nnd tho
mirror of the dressing" case ulinttared by
one of the bullets.
In the rear bedroom, the door of which
wns locked, Detective Mooney found Mrs.
Stevens' father. He was too frightened
to tell much about ihei occurrences that
led up the shooting. ' Ho simply knew
that Stevens had come home In a quarrel
some mood and hud threatened to kill
everyone in tho house, at tho same time
drawing a revolver from his pocket.
Tho two women ran into the front
room while he went in the rear bedroom,
locked the door and crawled under the
bed. Tho old man und the little girl
were token to the hou'.e of his other
daughter at No. i!14!5 Second avenue. -
At Gouverneur Hospital the physlclnns
last night said that tho two women were
in a Very critical condition. Mrs. Stevens
wns shot in the right shoulder anil in tho
neck, the latter bullet narrowly missing
tne jugular vein, ine servant, was
woundeu In the mouth and tho left arm.
To a reporter Mrs. Stevens said that
her husbnnd had always been jealous of
her without any cause, and had fre
quently threatened to kill her. He had
drawn a revolver to shoot her four times

LoNdox, Feb. 23. The details on case
which Is surrounded with much mystery,
anil which lr.is caused considerable coui
nient, have been receivod. in this city from
llmlnstcr, a town of Somerset Couuty,
on the lie, about ten mllos from Taunton.
It appears that Mr. W. R. Liddesdalo,
a prominent banker, nnd who was a
leader In the bushier nnd social circles
of tho town, disappeared, from Ilmlnster
during the first part of January last.
Mr. Liddesdale had become engaged
to till estimable lady ami all the prepara
tions hud been completed for the wedding
ftn'd Invitations to the ceremony had been
?"'ent to tho 1,ir number of friends, it
promised to be ono of the social events
o tho season in the town.

Tho fiancee of the bunker had at first
refused to believo that she had been de
serted at the last hour by the man to
whom she had given her heart, but Wheu
the time set for the wedding had come
and gone without her lover uppearing,
she was at lust .forced to admit the cruel
fact that she had ileen desertrd.
Wheu soma days had pnssed without
any word from the missing man, it began
to bo whispered about that probably he
had not been true to tiio trusts of his
clients, and that his' secret departure
from the town was occasioned by tho
misappropriation of funds intrusted to
his cure ind his inability to face .the
charges . i - h would be bronght against

without tonuUation, however, as a
thorough investigation was made ot Mr.
Llddusdnle's books and papers, and it
was found that all his accounts were
correct.
Some light was finally thrown on the
mystery when a number of letters were
discovered, which upou peritsul were
found to have been sent to Mr. Liddes
dale by an American woman residing in
tho Westminster building and who, it
was ascertained, has been an intimate of
the banker. It was seen from theso
letters that the woman had been thor
oughly infatuated with Mr. Ltddendale
nnd that when she hoard of his intended
marriage with the llminster lady she had
become Infuriated and had determined
that ho should not glvo her up for
another.
