SAD ZiFE AND DEATH OF TWO CANADIAN GIRLS IN BOSTON.

Sadie Bigelow, aged 18, and Lizzie Hart, aged 19, who went to Boston from St. John, N. B., two or three years ago, and who have been employed in dry goods houses there, had a dispute with some young men there on Christmas night, after which they went to their rooms, took

poison and died shortly after. The story of their life and suicide is perhaps the most remarkable known of late years, though it is an old, old story, and one which is yet new every day. The two girls were playmates from childhood, went to schoo] together, and confided every girlish secret to each other, and it was not at all strange that when they grew up there ex- isted a friendship between them which

IS CALLED THAT OF DAMON AND PYTHIAS.

The depth of their «fection for each other can only be realized after one reads the whole of this strange and dramatic story. About two or three years ago Sadie and Lizzie became dissatistied at the opportu- nities presented in St. John for earning a living, and, like many others, had an idea that in the United States they could go ahead. So, with what little wealth they had at their command, they packed up their possessions and went to Boston. They secured a sinall room at the South end, and began to look for employment. This was not so easily obtained as they imagined, but finally, when their little stock of money was well nigh exhausted, they secured | situations in the store of Jordan, Marsh & Co., at small salaries. Life in Boston was}

pated ; still, they made the best of it, and formed a number of acquaintances. Among these was aman with whom Lizzie Hart feli in love and married, but she could not get on with him and they separated. The

there was a good opportunity for them in New York and went there. They secured work at the immense dry goods store of Simpson, Crawford & Simpson. This was

going to work: they found that their situa- tions were most insecure. The sale of goods wasa forced one, and when it was over they found themselves out of a job. The girls came back to Boston about two weeks ago, thoroughly discouraged at the outlook for the winter. They sought new places in Boston,

BUT WERE UNSUCCESSEUL IN GETTING ANY,

Their warmest friends in the city were two young men, Dick A~-—- and Harry B——, and naturally they confided their troubles to them. Sarah Bigelow’s parents mean- while moved from St. John to Cambridge, and she got some financial assistance from them. Whatever Sadie got she contributed a part tothe support of Lizzie. Their friendship was such that they would divide their last loaf of bread with each other. Previous to this Sadie had received small sums of money from her mother in St. John, and this always went for the main- tenance of both. Sadie’s mother was very kind to her daughter, and every cent she cevuid save was sent to her. Her father, on the othér hand, was a shiftless sort of man, and cared but little for his daughter. The girls secured a comfortable little room at a boarding-house on Tremont street, at the South end, and got along as best they could. Their two young male friends de-

itermined to make Christmas Day as_pleas-

ant as possible. They all went to a restau- rant for dinner, and afterward to the apart- ments of one of the young men, where they seemed to be in the happiest of imoods.

\ There they passed the time away, but the

happiness of the little party was entirely destroyed by the receipt of a telegram by Miss Bigelow, from St. John, which im- parted the sad intelligence that her mother had

DIED THAT CHRISTMAS MORNING,

after a long illness. It wasa heavy blow to Miss Bigelow, for her mother was her truest friend and greatest help. The news cast a decided gloom over the four revel-

jlers, and Miss Bigelow seemed utterly cast

down. She wept bitterly and bemoaned

ther lonesome condition in this great world.

The young women wanted to go home, but the men did not want them to. They thought tbat it was best to end the evening as they had begun and make the best of it. In some way not explained a Jove spat oc- curred between Miss Hart and Henry. The latter thought the world of her, and she of him, it is said, At any rate the two young women started for home, and as soon as they reached their little home deter- mined to commit suicide. After discussing a lot of poisons (this has been learned from the ante mortem statement of Sadie) they finally came to the conclusion to die by using a rat poison, which they obtained at a drug store. Then they walked to their room, which was in a house but a little way from the store, took off their outside wraps, and deliberately prepared the death potion. First, they talked the whole subject of their condition in life over carefully. Both were out of work, and had no money. Miss Hart spoke of her trouble with her husband, and of the quarrel she had that evening with Henry, whom, she said, she loved better than her life. Now that they had quarre sled, she did not care to live, an d was anxious to depart this life as soon as possible. Sadie Bigelow was tle more des- pondent of the two, and when Miss Hart wavered once or twice in the matter of tak- ing her life, she asserted that she intended to ‘die anyhow. ‘* Then,” said Mise Hart, ‘] shall die with you. 1 have only you to live for now, and if you die I shall die, too. Sadie sonnneel thoroughly demoralized. She was absolntely alone in the world, she said. Her mother, whom she loved so well. had died that very morning, and she wanted to jom her in the other world. She thad no one here now, having quarrelled with Dick, and then, too, she fully realized her delicate condition, being enceinte. Then,

[after commending the-r soulsto the Creato r, they deliberately.

SWALLOWED THE DEADLY DOSE.

Miss Hart at once fell into a deathlike trance, but Sadie soon recognized the folly of their deed, and determined to save her friend and, if possible, her own life. She took a herdic and drove to the house where her young men friends lived, and woke them up. She told them of what they had done, but immediately her death agony began, and she forgot all about her friend,

who had meanwhile died in their lodging.

Notwithstanding all that could be done, she passed away after terrible torture, and when her friends went to break the news to Lizzie they found her also dead. The case has created an immense sensation, and will likely form the subject of an enquiry. The two girls were buried in one casket in Mount Hope Cemetery.

School Examination.

The semi-annual examination of the Head St. Peter’s Bay school took place on the 30th ult., in the presence of the trustees and a number of the pupil’s parents. The pupils were examined in the branches taught in, our common school, and the alacrity with which they answered the various questions put them, showed that marked progress was made during the last six months, and at the same time afforded indubitable evidence of our teacher, Mr. Martin Monaghan’s future ability as an instructor of the youth.

\To Hammond J. Smith, Teacher: j j

Sir,—‘Since you have seea fit to resign }your pesition as teacher of our school, we, the undersigned, on behalf of the district, jfeel it a pleasure to present you with this ishort address, as a small token of the esteem inwhich you are held, both by parents and children

The valuable present given to you by the scholars, on the day of closing school, shows the respect and affection you have ;won from them ; and the very creditable manner in which the pupils acquitted them- selves on the day of examination is proof that you possess no meagre abilities as a teacher.

During your short sojourn amongst us we have found you faithful in the discharge of your duties, and always willing to assist in any way to advance the interests of your scholars.

In saying farewell, we wish you success in whatever position you may occupy in life, and that you may be as diligent and faithful as you have been while with us.

Sincerely yours, WitiiamM CONNOLLY, JOHN PRowsk, Patrick BeRrRican, Jonn Paarriper. Signed on behalf of District. Royalty East, Dec. 30, 1886,

REPLY T'o Messrs. William Connolly, John Prowse, Patrick Berrigan, John Partridge and others :

GENTLEMEN,—It was something wholly unexpected by me to think that you would see fit to present me with such a flattering address, since | have been with you barely one year.

It certainly gladdens one’s heart to know that his efforts have been in a measure suc cessful, and that they meet with the appro- val of the people among whom he labors, But if I have accomplished anything 1 have done nothing more than my duty. I try to carry out the principle **That if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.”

The present given to me by the scholars was a great surprise. It is almost impos sible to conceive how they could make arrangements among themselves to procure it without my knowledge. I will not only prize it for its intrinsic value but also for the associations it will awaken and as a memento of affection.

Thanking you for your kindest regards, | wish you many years of health and pros: perity, and that you will treat my successor as kindly, if not more, than you have me

] remain, very truly yours, Hammonp J, Smirn, Royalty East, Dec, 30, 1886,

French Statesmen,

A good deal of credit is due to those French statesmen who have shown them- selves capable of calmly counselling their countrymen to maintain a peaceful attitude even in the face of Germany's outspoken threats. The Republicin this matter is showing itself stronger than the Empire, whose traditions could hardly have passed by the Reichstag without recentment. Of course there may be something of diplo- macy beliind the utterances of the French leaders. ‘“f the idea gains ground that France is thoroughly averse to war, it will be more difficult for Bismarck to get a stub born Parliament to acquiesce in new bur- dens being laid on the country that the German army may be put on a more war- like footing, and if he meets an absolute refusa!, why, France will be so much ahead when the outbreak does come. Neverthe- less, such utterances as thsse of M enceau are calculated to have a qu eting effect at a time when Europe seems aii ready fur an upheaval.
