Bramel, Crazed By Liquor, Murders His Wife, Then Fires His Home, and Was Himself" Consumed in the Flames Shocking Grime in AH Its Horrible Details. The home of G. W. Bramel near Mt. Gilead yas tho scene of one pf the most shocking tragedies about midnight Saturday night that was over enacted.

Grazed by liquor, Bramel murdered his wife, and the supposition is that ho then fired the house and killed himself, and his body was consumed in the flames that destroyed the home. Mrs. Bramol was previous to he? marriage Mjss Sallie Hunt, youngest daughter the lato Daniel Hunt of this city. Her relatives strongly opposed Jho rnar-riage, believing that tho union would not prove 'a hajspy one, and in this their worst fears wore realized, Vhen drinking, Bramel abused and mistreated her, had threatened her life on a former occasion and driven her fr6m home. Tho couple finally separated, and Mrs.

Bramel returned to this city with the intention of suing for divorce, but her husband finally persuaded her to return to her home by promising to reform his life and treat her right. Bramel's younger brother, Herman, aged about twenty, made bis home with the couple. Herman attended tho tobacco fair here Saturday, and his brother had him buy a half gallon of whisky for him. This whisky did its work, and aroused the demon in the man. Ho be-' gan abusing bis wife, then quarreled with his brother and seizing a shotgun threatened to kill him.

Herman, however, succeeded in temporarily quisling tho man, and then left the house and wont to tho homo of another relative. Then according to the testimony of the couple's two young sons, aged about eight and thirteen years, their father re-newed his abuse of their mother, and finally seizing tho gun shot her. As she sank tc tho floor, tho childreu fled, and finally made their way in tho cold and VEILINGS Just received by express a new line of veilings By the yard or by the veiled MERZ ROS darkness to the home of their grandmother, some two miles distant. What transpired afterwards will never be known. When neighbors reached the scene early Sunday morning a mass of smouldering embers was all that was left of the home.

Near by lay tho body of Mrs. Bramel. After being shot she either had strength enough left to crawl from the room, or had been dragged out by Bramel. Her body was about thirty feet from the' point where her little children say she fell. The flames had not reached it, but the heat from the burning building had charre'd the re mains.

A murder and suicide under tragic circumstances wero committed at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, on Fourth, near the corner of Plum. Garrett Breckinridge, colored, shot and killed his wife Lucy, and then reloading his pistol he placed the weapon to his left temple and sent a bullet through his brain. Policeman Ryan and Constable Bosser wero on Market street when they heard tho shots, and at once started to investi gate. The former found the bodies of the man and woman where they had fall en. Breckinridge's body was near that of his wife, and the instrument of death was close to his left band.

'From the character of their wounds, both had 'evidently died without a struggle. Breckinridge was "left handed'' and this ac counts for the fact that he shot himself in the left temple, and that the pistol was found near his left hand. Breckinridge was also known by the name of Garrett Green. He evidently murdered his wife in a fit of jealous rage. A few years ago be shot and killed Ohas.

irates, because of the latter's attention to his wife. When- he was tried for this crime the jury acquitted him. Since then he killed another negro by tho name of Savage at tho Germantown fair and was acquittod last fall for this last crime. He had been employed of late at Wells Coughlin's Btablo.

He went to the home of his wife's father, Amos Haley, on Hord's Hill, and inquired for his wife. She was tnot there, but was seen just then coming up tho hill. Breckinridge joined her and tho two returned to the corner of Fourth and Fhim, where they evidently got into a quojrrol with tho tragic result as detailed. Fivo or six Bhots wore fired at bis "wife, and four of them took effect, two penetrating the stomach, one near tho throat and another shattered one arm. The weapon used was Smith Wesson.

Coroner Wood was summoned and aftor viewing the remains, had City Physician Yazell remove" tho bullet from Breckinridge's temple, and also a bullet from tho body of the woman to seo that both came from the same pistol. The woman's remains wero later removed to tho homo of her mothor, Mrs. Amos Haley, while Brockinridgo's body was takon to- Wells Coughlin's undertaking rooms.
