FoLLowIne upon the criticism of Tus EXaMINER, comes the announcement that Mr. Forbes, of Vernon River Bridge, has been taken in to the Government. We must not be understood as passing a very Lizh compliment upon the Huon. Mr. Forbes when we express the opinion that he is one of the best of those individuals who go to make up the Peters Combination. His ap- pointment has not been accompanied by an apology for ignoring the claims of Bel- faat in the first place, and leaving abso- lutely unrepresented in the Executive Council a section of country equal to about a third of the whole Province.

MURDER MOS
An fsland Woman the Victim.
Catherine Bing Was Her Maiden Name.
ee oe ee
Opium and Liquor Led to the Grave.
Lasr night’s mail brought the Boston Globe of Tuesday ccntaining fali paiticu- lars of the latest New Hampshire murder. The victim is a woman who went by the name of Catherine A. Lawrence, but who turns out to be the divorced wife of Dr. George EK. Lothrop, of the Boylston Museum, Boston, and a native of Char- lottetown. She-had been housekeeper for aman named William McDaffee, a farmer living 2) miles from Rochester, N. H., on the Farmington Road, for the past six years, and it was by the father of her em- ployer, en old man upwards of seventy years of age, that the crime was committed.
It appears that shortly after Catherine entered the McDaffee household she began to drink and dissipate heavily. Old mian McDutffee and his aged wife did not like her actions, and urged their sonto dismiss her. But she was kind to the children not- withstanding her weaknesses, aud young Mcwuffee was loath to take his parents’ ad- vice. In the summer of 1889, however, after paying a visit to Boston, Catherine became even more dissipated than usual, and young McDuffee told her he wanted no more of her—that the sooner she left his roof the better. This proceeding had such an effect upon the poor woman that she sought her room and took poison. A doe- tor arrived on the scene, however, in time to save her life.
After Catherine was able to be about again, she looked after herself more care- fully, and was retained in the employ of McDuffee. But all the time the breach between herself and her employer's parents was widening.
On Sunday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, a young man whose identity has not yet been established, called at Mc- Duffee’s house and asked Catherine out for a walk. She weat with him. They first called at the house of a neighbor, remain- ing but a short time, after which they went to a roadside liquor shop where they had several drinks. Next the couple started for the elder McDuaffee’s house—about a mile nearer Rochester than the son’s— where they intended having another drink. On arriying at the house they found the doer shut. Catherine knocked at the door, and it was opened by old man McDuffee, who had been in town during the after noon, and had just enough liquor op board to be in fighting humor. He asked what was wanted, and on being teld that they were after liquor, said he had none for the woman and pushed her from the door. Then Catherine said some- thing that angered the old man, and grasp- ing a heavy stick used to bar the door, he sprang towards her and attempted to give her a blow. The woman dodged the blow, and grasping the stick, tried to take’ it from him, But the old man, despite his years, was strong, and easily threw her from him. Then he followed her iuside the door to the kitchen, where his wife was standing, and forcing her into a corner struck her a heavy blow on the head. The woman fell and the blood gushed from her scalp in streams. Her companion, who, during the row had been standing outside avoiding the trouble, now took a hand in the affair only to be clubbed out of the yard in less than 4 minute.
After running the young man off the premises, old McDuffee returned to the house, and as if not yet satisfied with the brutality of his action, went inte a corner, and, just as the unfortunate woman was rising to her feet he picked up a gun and placing the muzzle within two feet of the body, fired. The shot literally mutilated the abdomen. Death wae instantaneous.
Leaving the dead body upon the floor, the murderer took up another gun and began searching for the woman’s companion: but as he did not find him he hid the gun in the woods and proceeded on foot. to Rochester. There he was arrested and placed in jail charged with the crime-of murder.
Shortly after the old man's arrest the officers proceeded to the scene of the murder. They found the body in the kitchen where it fell, and in the dim Jamp- aes ” Ne sat the wife of the murderer, who did not a to full i what had taken ion — _A jury was empannelled and an inves- tigation begun. © post mortem showed that death was caused solely by the gun- shot wotnd, A search of the deceased’s personal effects resulted in the finding of letters and other articles, which established her identity, although she had carefully refrained from letting any one in the Mc- Duftee house know whe she was during all the years that she had been there. A small hand desk and a box of inlaid wood contained, among other things, a bundle of letters tied with a string, which when opened, proved to be the correspon- dence of Dr. George E. Lothrop, who in each letter addressed her as ‘‘My dear wife,” and frequently signed himself ‘* Your toving husband.” These letters, of which there were between twenty and thirty, bore dates of the years 1874, 1875. 1876, 1877 and 1878. The latter ones outlined the troubles that had separated them, and referred to their two children whom it ap- peared the Dr. wanted to get control of. Another letter was also found to which was signed ouly ** Sister Emily,” imploring the oue addressed to come home and be for- given. Among the first things discovered was a photograph of the unfortunate woman on the back of which was inscribed, ‘* Yours truly, Katie Lothrop.”
The _murder has caused as great a sen- sation in Rochester as the celebrated Saw- telle affair. Upwards of five hundred ner. = visited the scene of the tragedy Mon-

Boston.
Catherine married Dr. Lothrop in Boston about 1871, when she was a and attractive girl of atylish and pleasing appearance, The
carriage
was as devoted as a man couldbe. The first three or four years of their married life were passed in the West End of Boston, where the doctor was engaged in the prac- tice of his profession, and was rapidly amassing afortune. In 1872 twins were born to them, and from that time the young! wife secretly began to resort to the use of opium and stimulants, for which she de- veloped a atrong appetite.
Her downward career dates from that time. As the yoars rolled on she became more and more under the control of liquor, and from 1375 to 1877-8 she led a life of riotous dissipation. Her husband never suspected her of anything worse, and did everything possible to reform her. Dut this was apparently impossible. Uadoubt- edly brain disease was responsible for her dissipation, for when under the influence of opium she was desperately crazy. When these spells were on she would neglect her children, assault her husband, break tie windows, and raise a. ruction generally : but when the exciting effects were over she would cry bitterly and beg. to ‘be for- given, and then for months at a time would struggle against her accursed appetite, only in the end to fall down into the gutter of misery from which she had tried to lift herself. gr
She finally left her husband in 1878, and their home was broken up, their two children being sent to board with a rela- tion in Woburn. There both children died of scarlet tever in 1882.
In the meantime Dr. Lothrop had ob- tained a divorce from his truant wife, and married again. Catherine remained in and about Boston until after the death of her second child, when she disappeared sudden- ly, and Dr. Lothrop heard nothing Fur- ther about her until Monday last, when he was informed of her sad ending at Roches- ter. >
Mrs. Lothrop was about forty years of age at the time of her death. People whe knew her say that she was addicted to the use of opium more than liquor, and that is probably the reason she was incurable.
