A LOVE TRAGEDY.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Details of a terrible love tragedy come from Limoges. A well-to-do artisan of the town had lived for some time with a married woman of great beauty, who was separated from her husband. Her conduct was so irregular that her lover resolved to take her away to Bordeaux, but tho woman refused steadfastly to leave Limoges. The artizan, after having implored her for a long time, but in vain, to follow him, took out a revolver and shot her dead. He then began to caress the face of the victim, shrieking and tearing his hair like a maniac. Tho woman's father and friends making their appearance, the infuriated lover tired several shots at them without effect, and then turning his weapon against himself he lodged the last bullet in his jaw.
