SHOT HUSBAND AND SELF. Boston Woman Driven to a hash Act by Poverty and Sickness. BosTON, Nov. 15.-Frank McLaugh lin and his wife Mary were found in an unconscious condition in their home in South Boston. Both had been shot and both, it is thought, will die. The man was revived by the physi cians who were summoned. and- in a short time was able to talk. He in formed the police that his wife had shot him while he was asleep and that she afterwards attempted to kill herself. McLaughlin, who is in the advanced stage of consumption, has been ordered to the hospital. The police believe that his wife, driven to desperation, decided to end both of their lives. They had lived in abject destitution and there was only a single piece of bread in their room. Two months ago a child was born to the couple and died at the age of 2 weeks, and the event seemed to weigh heavily on the woman's mind. They had. been married about a year. THE EARLY LIFE OF THORN.

In consequence of the statement made at 'the Long Island prison by a man claim ing to be a Philadelphia detective, that he identified~ Thorn as the person who had served a sentence in Moillmensing prison for stealing a diamond pin, the officials came here to investigate. Chief Clerk White of the Philadelphia court of quarter sessions, went through his books, but no record whatever could be found of the conviction of a diamond thief that would fit with the-story told in New York.

Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in Every Respect. In our long experience in merchandising we have never procured gods in every line more satisfactory with a view to low and suitable prices than daring our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our customers the full benefit of. feeling sure that we could not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers, whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various farmer Alliances. and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned pop ularity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus tomers during the busy season, and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cor rectness of our statement. We have not. of course. the spaee to lay before the pub lic all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited por tion: Probably much that is omitted will be found even more inviting.
