Tragedy at Sydney.
Sydney, June 9.
A tragedy is reported from Camperdown, a western suburb of Sydney. Ezra Abrahams, a Jewish lolly vendor, and a married man with a family, became infatuated with a Miss Goodacre, and he pestered her with his attention, but she refused all advances. The couple met in the street this afternoon, and she endeavoured to avoid Abrahams, who drew a revolver and fired three shots at her, the bullets lodging in her arms and back. The ruffian then fired two shots into his own abdomen. Abrahams is in a critical condition, but the girl, though very seriously wounded, is likely to recover.
