By loaning this out at‘high rates of interest, in small sums, he is reputed to have accumulated upwards of $500,000.

The men quarrelled during dinner. Darique was shockingly beaten about thé head. and badly cut up. His -assailant willbe charged with murder.

The couple had quarreled two weeks ago and separated. The wife grew moody over her misfortune and the neighbors say she often remarked that she wished she was dead. At6 o’clock in the evening she put on her things and went out. She went to the station, and her husband saw her there just as he had come on for duty, ready to make his -run to New London. He did not appear anxious to.see his wife, and it is supposed that Mrs. Eager noticing his indifference became desperate ‘and resolved on suicide. The woman walked away from the depot and followed a route along the railroad track. Her husband’s train started at 6:55. At that hour she was a few hundred yards from the depot. The train came on with increasing speed and had achieved rapid momentum when it came to Mrs. Eager. To carry out her resolve was the work of an instant. After being killed her body was carried along for a distance of a thousand yards, when it-was caught in a frog of the track and thrown to one side. The husband sped away on his engine, little thinking perhaps what:the machinery under his feet had done.
