DISAPPOINTED LOVE.

Memoubse November?. - ; A case of attempted murder, believed to have been prompted by disappointed love, occurred at Mordialloo, a suburb on the Bhores of the Bay.aboutnino miles from Melbourno on Tuesday evening last. About llalf-pasfc seven o'clock a young man about twenty-rive years of age, named Wm, Thomas Bury, a resident of Coburg, deliberately fired a shot from a navy revolver at a newly-married young woman named Mrs Kraft, tho wife of Mr W. Kroft, horso trainer of Mordialloc. It appears that Me Kroft, his mother, and wife went to the Cup meeting on Tuesday, and returned \<y Mordialloc by the 7,20 p.m.. train. Mrs Kroft and her. mothor-iu.law walked from the Kail-

way Station to their lioiise.wlrich is about half a mile from the township, When thoy reached the fonce close to-

tho house the man Bury sprang from behind tho fence, ran up to. within a fowfeetof Mrs Kroft, discharged thereYolvor at her once and ! ran away. Mr Kroft was Mowingill Mr Jenkins' buggy, and wlien near'' his place he met ono of his stable; ' boys, who told him that his wile was shot.

On arrival at tho course, he met Mr Kroft, but not his wife. If he had seen her, the attempt at murdeii would have been committed on the >

racecourse, Not succeeding in doing so, Bury came back to Mordialloo, awaited bis opportunity, and tried to do the deed as already desoribed. Bury and Mrs Kroft mm acquaintsd for some timo before her marriage. Bury states that be put the revolver close to Mrs Kroft's head, but tho cap missed, or bo would have killed hor instantaneously. Ho tried to fire again, but bo could not bear the revolver upon her, as her mother-in-law got between them, and so tho orimo was prevented. A"Qiuet" ViUage.

English writers who complain that life in the United States is lacking in interest, should note tho fact that there are occasionally exceptions to the alleged monotony of American existence. I have justseenanaccount of a day in a modest villago in Western lowa. Surely no village of tho old world could have furnished anything like the exciting events ■ of tMs provincial town. The programme of incidents began when one Frank Philips was arrested, for horrible owelty to a little child. At 11 o'clock at night a mob of 800 people called at the gaol, took, out the prisoner, and varied bis previous l experience; by t hanging him for- a; moment or'two, then Jetting Jim 'down jueVbofoie." absolute,' etringuhv

On tlio same day the father of the child assaulted by the prftiov was shot dead by finoted ruffianll tho place, A mob, with the assistance of a militia company, started out to lynch this murdoror. They went to hie house and surrounded it. The amiable mother of the murderer appeared at the door, , She said that her son was not in tho house, and invited the officers of the law and the leaders of tho mob to come in and see. Thoy entered unsuspiciously, and the murdorer, who was comfortably concealed in the cellar, firod and killed'four of his visitors before ho was himself capered and (hot, Li this quarrel the lather of the murderer was killed. Burned to Death-

A sad case of burning to death has occurred recently at Mouroopna (Victoria). About two o'clock in the momintyi fire was discovered at Doidgejpotel, Undera, The night was close add sultry without a breath of wind, and the Cm Boon spread, The flames were discovered in one of the outbuildings, and it was thought that they could be got under, hut the sparks soon communicated the firo to the main building, and tho hotel was a mass of ashes in a comparatively short space of time. Mrs Doidge, the wife of the proprietor, who was an invalid at the time, wasawakened and brought out of the flaming building, but it seems she realised the fact that about LIOO in money was in the house. She rushed into the house, and succeeded in rescuiug some £2O, and went back -jAough every effort was made to prwvnther—for the remainder. Sho succeeded in getting this, but while she was in the building the piano bad been dragged into tho passago-way by somftynen in their endeavor to savoit.4Ris obstructed Mrs Doidge's exit, and before sho could be rescued, she was burned to death, only the ashes of her body being recovered. A DANGEROUS CASE.
