H. Rockwell, for many years general passenger agent of the Moon railway, "was brought for burial from Chicago -about seven years ago. ,£\ The tragedy at Cincinnati in which

Rockwell tried to kill his wife and !t stepdaughter, according to the Cinfivciimati papers, followed an estrangel^ment between himself and wife over financial matters. Rockwell was 56 ears of age and was born and brought

lf-up

in Terre Haute, the family living 'for many years on liberty avenue, later moving to North Seventh street U-between Chestnut and Sycamore, the f* family residence, standing on the I* ground now occupied by the Robinson garage. The deceased was for many years connected with the Pennsylvania railroad passenger department at

Another brother, Clay Rockwell, Is also in the railroad business at Cincinnati, being connected with the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern company. He accompanied the body to the city Mrs. F. O. Froeb, of 448 5 North Seventh street, is a sister of deceased.

Story of Shooting.

According to dispatches from Cincinnati, Mrs. Rockwell, Miss Flora Hollister and a friend were playing cards in their home Wednesday evening and Mrs. Rockwell had just completed a business transaction, receiving $10 for rent of a garage. "Do not tell your husband I gave you this check," the man said. "All right," Mrs. Rockwell answered. A moment later Rockwell entered. He stepped forward toward the table, and with the words, "I will finish it all now," flred at Miss Holllster. Another shot followed as the guest fled, and she says she does not know what happened afterward.

It developed that Rockwell shot his wife three times and his step-daugh-ter twice. He then went to his room, lay down on a couch, and flred the that ended his own life.

'$4LS FROM ASSESSMENT.

Grocer Says Amount Levied Exceeds Benefit Derived.

teenth and Locust streets, and the owner of 181% ^Teet on Locust street affected by the improvement of that thoroughfare from First street to Thirteenth, has filed in the Circuit Court an appeal from the assessment list for the cost of the Improvement approved by the board of public works. He alleges in his complaint that the assessment was approved over his protest and objections, and that while the total cost against his property is fixed at $720.92, this is $420.92 in excess of the benefits conferred on his property, which he claims is only $300. Tilley & Gallagher are his attorneys.

Attorney Josiah T. Walker has appealed from the assessment list for the improvement of Eighth avenue from Third to Twenty-fifth streets because of the assessment against a lot he owns in the northwestern part of the city.

"Never mind, dear, you are only beginning. We shall have to finish out the month without meat and eggs. Let's see," he reflected, "seven days for two people on 50c. What have you in stock? Come, let us take an Inventory," he said, knidly. He put hlo arm around the drooping little figure. and together they went to the pantry. "Here are plenty of beans. Boston baked beans are good and take the place of meat. Have you any pork in the house?"

She shook her head dejectedly. "We will put down 10c worth of pork, then. There are two dinners, three If necessary," eaid the business manager gaily. "Now what else have we? A package of macaroni one" a can of tomatoes that Is good for dinner number three and number four can be macaroni and cheese." "We have no cheese," said Hazel.

"We might have corn sou flee, but that will take three eggs and we are nearly out of eggs." "Have noodles and paprica tomato sauce," he suggested, "with escalloped potatoes." "I have flour and shortening and can make hot biscuits and waffles for a change," said she, brightening, "but we have no fruit but apples and the canned fruit and I'm afraid the butter will not last," she added with a start. "How is the personal allowance coming on?" he resumed as they went back to the parlor.

There was no answer. "I hope you have not been spending beyond the limit there." "I got a fall coat and had it charged in my name," sbe finally said. "I will pay for it out of my allowance. "Did you not know the bill would come to me just the same?" he asked gravely. "A husband is responsible for his wife's debts, you know. The law recognizes that they are one, one In interest, one in responsibility.** "I thought I could pay for it a few dollars a month and you would never know," she said, a note of despair in her voice. "Don't try to be secretive," he said with the first touch of impatience in his voice. "We can work thi« thing out in time if you will play fair and be cpen ar.d above board. It will take time to learn to save, as money has always seemed to fall, like manna from heaven, for you. No wonder you have trouble in learning to do without and spending economically. But, Hazel, I must insist on no more debts. Spend only what you have and go without until the next pay day. Really, dear, we can work this thing out and pi event shipwreck In no other way. Will you give me your promise?" "T«b, Herbert," aha whispered.
