Jealous Father Kills His Children.

Griffin, Ga., Oct. 10.—News has reached here of a tragedy that occurred in Pike county, near Milner, on Monday, in which eight or nine children lost their lives by poison administered by their father. It seems from the best information that Tom Speer, taking advantage of his wife’s absence, and being prompted by jealousy, administered the fatal drug to his children. The fiend is now behind the bars.
