Ignace Glance Shoots His Wife and Then Himself—Neither Yet Dead. A feartul domestic tragedy took place today ‘at 1243 7th street northwest, which will proba- bly end in the death of two parties, the wife by murder and the husband by his own hands, At this number the lower part of the three-storied dwelling ts occupied by Ignace Glance, a glass engraver, and his wife, Matilda, with two children, the front part nsedas a cigar and notion store, and the rear part with beds and cots as aliving room. This morning the parties were heard quarreling, and at an early hour the neighbors became aware that they were in their usual bad mood from the sound. CONTINUALLY QUARRELING. This, however, attracted but little notice, for it has been almost of an hourly occurence tor the past two weeks. The front door to the store was locked about 11:40 o'clock and one of the children was absent and the other ting with other children in the back yard when Mrs. Glance was_scen to run out the back door and through the hall into the street, holding her hand to the ‘left side of her head, and when she reached the street it was noticed that blood was oozing through her fingers. SENT TO TRE HOSPITAL. Officer Scranton was close by and took her to Dr. Kuhn's, 701 N street, and he making a hasty examination of the wound ordered her sent to Freedman’s Hospital ‘The parties occupying the other part of the house noticed Glance leave his door and go to the alleyway, and it is thought that he after- ward returned to the shop and locked the door. FOUND SEXSELESS. Officer Scranton and others at once sterted to find Glance, and the doors of the store ' "ing closed the back door was forced, where Glance was: found tying behind — the counter senselevs woth ‘blood —_ oozing from his right ear and the 22-caliber pistol with which the deed had been done lying by his si with two chambers empty. He was ut once removed to Freedinan’s Hospital. Glance is u Bohemian Jew. aged about fitty years, and has been in this city about six years. He married Matilda, his third wife, aboat five years ago in New York, and she is German and of the same religious faith. He removed here about eight months ago and started in business on 7th street aud a few months ago she came here and remained three days, About two weeks since she returned and a Tow at once occurred, caused fusing to pay the freight on his wil ARRESTED A WEEK AGO.

When the injured husband and wife reached | ¢ the hospital the former was unconscious and appeared to be dying. The letter was couscious, although she was suffering from the eff wound.
