Crine Drew Weapons on Each Other. The serenity which has been hover ing over the city tor the last tew weeks was quite disturbed when Mr. Ed. R. Jones and Mr.. Louis J. Orlne mixed up in an altercation at the HUsman- Sale drug store corner about 11:30 o’clock this morning. No blows were struck, no throats were cut, and no bullets were sent whizzing through the heart of either ot the belligerents. Many hot words passed, however, and a knife and a revolver figured quite prominently In the blowless melee. The quarrel grew out of a strictly business proposition, it seems. From an account given by an eye-witness, Mr. Crine went after Mr. Jones with an open knife. Mr. Crine suddonly found himself looking down the bar rel of a revolver In the hand of Mr. Jones. Mr. Crine then changed his mind about cutting Mr. Jones, and the latter altered his views as to shoot ing Mr. Crine. Mr. Jones was taken away by friends, and the aforesaid ser enity aijd quietude which had been per vading the atmosphere were restored. It is understood that each of the participants In the bloodless affray will have to answer tomorrow to the charge of disturbing the public peace. Miss Pansy E.

Townsend was dhot and mortally wounded by her father, Joseph P. Townsend, in their home In this city. Townsend then end ed his own life with a bullet. Miss Townsend was to have been married to Francis E. Perry, of Fort Myers, Fla., at 6 o'clock tonight at the People’s Temple, Boston. Early in the afternoon the father sent the only other member of the family, his 15-year-old son Joseph, to East Boston on an errand connected with the com ing wedding. The boy returned about 4:30 o’clock and let himself Into the house with a key. Calling to ‘ his father and receiving no answer, he pushed open the sitting room door and entered. On the floor lay the dead body of his father, the head in a pool ot blood, and a small Tlfle across the knees. BeBtde him was a revolver of a heavy calibre. Miss Townsend lay upon a couch at the side of the room, and, according to the boy’s statement, was still alive. The boy tried to force some brandy down his sister’s throat, and falling, hurried after doctors. When they ar rived the girl was dead. She had been shot through the head. The onl* clue to the cause ot the tragedy was this note written by Townsend today: “At 4:30 I have taken my daugh ter's life and my own. I do this rather than see her the wife of , Francis Perry.” So far as Is known, Townsend had nothing against Perry, and the suppo sition Is that Townsends’ mind was un balanced by reason of love for his daughter and his brooding over the prospect of separation from her. Townsend was formerly mate on a ves sel Balling from Boston. He was born In Baltimore fifty-six years ago. His wife had been dead several years. Miss Townsend was 26 years of age.
