Fatal affair.

--In Autauga co., Ala., last week, a man named Jack Stoneker, while intoxicated, attempted to take the life of his wife by shooting at her. Failing to hit her with the shot, he drew his knife, and was in the act of cutting her throat when his son, a lad about fourteen or fifteen years old, picked up his gun and fired at his father, killing him instantly, the ball taking effect in the head.
