    Elihu Palmer, a young man of St. Louis, formerly of Carbondale, met his wife on the street of the former city one day last week and shot her in the neck; he then shot the brains out of the back of his own head. Jealousy of the green eyed variety was the cause of the tragedy. At last accounts both
parties were yet alive. PALMER has highly respected parents residing in Carbondale.

    Will L. CONNELL; a brother of the editor of this paper, was married to Miss Luella EUBANKS, in Murphysboro, on last Sunday evening, Eld. John A. RODMAN officiating.

    Grant CONNELL, of Murphysboro, was visiting his big brother-that’s us-in this city last week.
