Pen earl. hardly be met with---the
just introduced by Rudhall
and Co., is the best we have 'ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive, contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfeetlY
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one
dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,

sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.

Mr. Ford was induced to make the purchase becanse
Artz affirmed that

by 13envenutothat Cellini, and it had been given td
R
Joseph, Bonaparte, w)ien King of —pain, by the town of

Vittoria. On, however, showing the article, to Mr
Robinson„. Director of the: Kensington Museum' ai
London, and to Mr, Sterling, author of •the " Life o
Charles V. at Saint Just," Mr. Ford learned to his mor-
tification that 'it was only a copy of a silver object in
the Museum of the Louvre at Paris (Salle des. Bijoux,
No. 844), and was not worth more than 200 f.. Under
these circumstances that gentleman had Artz prosecuted
before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Brussels
on the charge of fraud, and the man was condemned 'to
three months' imprisonment. Artz appealed to the
Court of Appeal, and the Court held that he had not.
been guilty of fraud, inasmuch as he had himself
recommended Mr: Ford, before concluding the purchase,
to have the plateau • examine dby connoisseurs and
experts. The condemnation was accordingly quashed.

THE WALWORTH ,MURDERS.

On Thursday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, Wm.
Carter, Esq., and a highly respectable jury, assembled in

:he board-room of the Workhouse of Si. Mary, New-

ington, for the purpose of inquiring into the circum-
stances attending the respective deaths of Elizabeth

Youngman, aged forty, Mary Wells Streeter, aged
twenty-seven, Thomas -Youngman, aged ten, and Charles
Rayson Youngman, aged seven years, who were brutally
murdered at No. 16, Manor-place, Walworth-road, on
the morning of Tuesday last.
The jury having been sworn, and a foreman chosen,
they were addressed by the coroner as to the nature of
their duties, when they proceeded with the coroner to
view the mangled bodies, which presented a sickening
spectacle. _ _ .

Upon the return of the jury to the court, the following
witnesses were examined:—

Mr. James Beevan, a carman, said that he was the
occupier of the house, 16, Manor-place, and had been
so for six months. He had lived in the house for some
time previously. The house contained six rooms and a
back kitchen. It was a two-storey house, having two
rooms on each floor, besides the ground floor. He
lived with his wife and three children. Witness
occupied two rooms on the ground floor. The first
room on the second floor was a sitting-zoom, but he
made a bed up in it of a night 'for his three children.
The hack room was occupied as a sleeping room for
himself and an afflicted son, who stuttered and
and was otherwise afflicted, so• that he could
not walk withO-ut crutches. The first floor was
occupied by Mr. and- Mrs. Beard, and a son about
eight or nine years of age.. .The upper rooms were
occupied by Mr. Youngman, his wife, and two
children—boys. He could not state exactly how long
they had lived there, but it might have been three or
four months, or over. On Tuesday morning, about ten
minutes or a quarter to six, he was in bed in the back
room, when he heard a rumbling noise as if on the top
floor. He got out of bed, but before he could get to
the door Mr. Beard tapped at it and said, " For God's
sake come upstairs, for there is murder." Witness went
upstairs without waiting to dress, and proceeded to the
top staircase, when be saw one of Mr. Youngman's boys
on the landing with his head towards the stairs. He did
not proceed any further, but returned downstairs. He did
not see any see any second person at that time, nor hear
anything, for all was quiet. He put on his clothes and
went for the police; Mr. Beard accompanied hitn upstairs.
He procured the assistance of Inspector Dunn and
a police-officer. They accompanied him to the house,
but he did not go up stairs again. Before he heard the
rumbling noise he did not hear as much as a sound. He
heard Youngman go out to his work about half-past
five o'clock, about a quarter of an hour or twenty
minutes before he heard the rumbling noise. Up to

that time he had not seen any inmate of the house.. He
believed it was Mr. Youngman who. went out, as he was
in the habit of going out at that hour. He went to
sleep after he went out, and was awoke by the rumbling
noise. There had not been any screaming ; if there
had been he must have heard it. He saw a young man
when he was about to proceed for a policeman, after he
was dressed. He knew Youngman when about
three parts up the stairs, when he put up his bands
and said, "My mother has done all this." Witness
told him not to come down any further. He also
said, my mother has murdered my two brothers and my
sweetheart, and I, in self-defence, seized the knife from
her, and in self-defence I have murdered her." The
next time he saw Youngman was at the police-

court the same day. He had a knowledge that he had
been at the house. He had seen him come in and go
out during the last week or ten days; but had no know-
ledge that he was in the house on Monday night. Wit-
ness did not go with the jury to view the bodies. The
fourth person he did not know, never having seen her
in his life. He knew Mrs. Youngman as a lodger ; but
never spoke to her more than passing the compliments
of the day. He had not seen her since last week. In
her appearance she appeared respectable and of strong
mind. She used to correct her children frequently.
By the Coroner—He had nothing'further to state.
William Beard, a carpenter and joiner, said that he
was a married man, and lived with his wife and son,
who was about eleven years of age. He occupied two
rooms on the first floor. One room was occupied as a
bedroom, and his son slept in the same room. On'the
morning of Tuesday his wife awoke him, and called
his attention to 'a noise, like several children running
about. He got up and opened his door, and heard
a scream, and a noise on the second floor landing.
The scream appeared to have arisen from a boy. That
was about five minutes before six. Beyond the scream
he had spoken of he did not hear any other scream,.
He thought that was caused by the father beating
the children, and, out of curiosity he went up, and
the first thing that attracted his notice was a spot of
blood on the stairs, and a boy's hand hanging through
the banisters, covered with blood, and his throat cut.
To be perfectly satisfied he went a step higher, and
then saw a young woman lying on the landing, with
her head inside the back-room door, and her legs point-
ing to the front room. He also noticed that her throat
was cut. He did not at that time hear any noise in
either room, and he did not see a third person. Upon
seeing this, he went downstairs, and called the land-
lord, who went upstairs, and witness followed him.
Neither witness nor the landlord were dressed. He went
to his bedroom, and whilst dressing, he was called to a
person upstairs. He passed out of his bedroom again,
and went to the foot of the stairs, when he saw a male
person, whom he knew was named Youngman, son of
the persons who lived upstairs. When he first saw him
he was standing on the stairs about four steps from the
top. He said, "Mr. Beard, my mother has done all
this ; she has murdered my two brothers and my sweet-
heart, and I have killed her in self-defence." He was then
in his night-shirt, and the wristband was torn away, but
hung to the sleeve. Witness told him to keep upstairs,
when he asked him to go for a surgeon, which he did,
and returned to the house, when three policemen came.
He went upstairs, and saw a third person, w.hom he
knew to be Mrs. Youngman, who was lying on the legs
of Miss Streeter, with the face downwards. The parties
were all in their night-clothes. When Mr. Youngman
arrived, the son said, " Father, mother has done this."
He was taken away, and he saw no more of him. He
should know him again. He had not seen him on the
Monday, but he knew that he had been staying with his
parents for a week or nine days. He had a little con-
versation with him on Sunday last, when he appeared
perfectly collected. The conversation he had with him
had no bearing on this case. He did not know the youns,.
woman. He had never seen her befere. He retired to
bed between ten and eleven on Monday,'and he did not
then hear any noise. When he saw Youngman on the
stairs, he did not see anything in his hand. If any one
had called him by name he must have heard it. He
was positive that the only noise he heard when le
opened the door, was one scream. The Youngmans had
lodged in the house longer than he had. He had never
formed any opinion as to her state of mind, only that
she appeared perfectly sane. She was very kind to her
children, but sometimes corrected them, and so did the
father. He never apprehended that she would do any-
wrong to her family. From what he had seen' he
believed the deaths arose from the hands of the son. He
heard Mr. Youngman, senior, go out at twenty minutes
past five that morning. Witness went for Mr. Body,
the • surgeon, and the police were there before he got
back. About half an hour elapsed after Mr. Youngman,
the father, went out until his wife awoke him. When
he went up stairs the first time he noticed that the door
of the back room was open, .but he did not see whether
the front door was open or not.
Susannah Beard said that the last witness was her
husband. They lived together at No. 16, Manor-place.
Her bed-room was under the Youngman's. On the
morning of Tuesday last, the 31st ult., she heard a
wrestling on the boards, as over her head, which was
followed by a noise like a fall. Nothing else attracted
her attention at that time, and she thought it was caused
by the boys quarrelling. She awoke her husband, be.:
Having it was late. She said to her husband "Why, it
is eight o'clock," and he got up and went into the front
room, and from thence upstairs. He shortly returned
screaining murder, and she got out of bed, but did
not on that occasion go upstairs. She did not hear or
see any male person besides her husband, until her
landlord came out and went upstairs. Her husband
dressed himself as won as he could and went for
the police. When her husband came back she saw
young Mr. Youngman, Who Was on the stairs, and whO
had been in the house eight or nice days. Ha said,
"Mrs. Beard, Mrs. Beard, my mother has done it all;
and in self defence I think I have murdered her." He
repeated it, and added, she has killed my two little
brothers and my sweetheart." He then held up his arm;
and pointing to-his wristband, said, "See what she has
done." He then cried out, " Mr. Beard, go for a sur-
geon, for I believe none of them are living now."
She had not heard any one moving about in the night,
She saw the police come, and saw Youngman as he
passed through the . passage in custody. She should
know him again-
He said something to his father,
but she could not tell what he said. She knew
that he had been sleeping in the house, and she
believed he was a young man of strong mind. She saw
him come home with the young woman between nine
and ten o'clock on Monday night. She met the two on
the stainen Monday night, when they entered his mo-
ther's room.. He, then appeared quite sober. Witness
did not knew that she was going to sleep in the house
that night: They came downstairs about five minutes
afterwards, when the mother looked out of window and
called out " William" twice. Thomas, a younger bro-
ther, was in the street, and she said, " Thomas, go and
tell William that I want to speak to him." He re-
turned, and the young woman and the younger brother
walked on towards the Walworth-road. She considered
the young woman was staying there with the family.
John Varney, police-constable 333 of the P
said that on Tuesday morning last he was on duty in the
walworth-road, when he was called and told to go to
No. 16, Manor-place, as a murder had been committed
there. He went to the house and proceeded up stairs,
where he saw the body of a boy, and at his feet two

females. They were all in their night-dresses. He
noticed cut wounds in their throats, and he saw a young
man standing in the doorway in his shirt. The wrist-
band of his right-hand sleeve was tom off, and was

hanging to his hand. He said, "My mother has done
all this, and I only struck my mother iu self-defence,
and that is law." He had nothing in his hand. There
was blood on his right knee and feet. The whole of
the persons appeared to be quite dead. He directed the
man, who appeared to be excited, to be quiet.
Witness then sent for the inspector. Up to
that time he had not seen any implement. After the
inspector came he passed into the front room on that
floor, and the young man was dressing himself in the
back room. When he went into the front room he saw

a boy about seven or eight years of age lying on the
bed with his head towards the foot of the bedstead, and
a large cut wound at the back of the neck. There was
a large quantity of blood on the counterpane of the bed,
but more where the head was lying. There were foot-
marks of blood on the landing, as if some one had been
walking in the blood. The door of each room was
open. Mr. Inspector Dunn was with the young man
whilst he was dressing. He repeated the expression
several times about striking his mother. Witness
looked for a weapon, but could not find one. During
the time he was present nothing more was said by the
young man about the children than that his mother had
done it.

David Lack, 132 P, said that on Tuesday morning
cast he was ou duty at Walworth Police-station, when
from information he received he went with Inspector
Dunn to the house in que,tion, and found three persons
lying dead, and a young man in the back room standing
at the side of the young woman. He said, "Here's a
job—my mother has done all this." He saw a Spanish
dagger-knife open, and lying between the two females.
(The knife was produced in court as well as the shirt,
and both had blood upon them. The coroner directed
that both should be kept in the same state as they then
were.) He found that the sharp point of the knife had
been broken off. He went into the front room and there
saw a little boy on the bed, and he called the attention
of his inspector to him. He said nothing aboul that
boy, only that his mother had done it. He remained in
the house and found the wristband behind a box just
within the doorway. (The wristband was produced ; it
was torn in the middle, and nearly covered with blood.
The coroner desired that that should also be kept in the
same condition.) He saw a wristband on his right hand
before. He had no doubt it was the same as he saw on
his right hand when he lifted up his arm.
Mr. Samuel Wells Streeter said that he was the
occupier of a small farm, Hauser Hall, Wadhurst. He
had that day seen one of the bodies, that of a young
woman. She was his daughter. He believed that she
was a single person. . She had been in service up to
April last. and then came to reside with him to assist
her mother, on account of the illness of a sister. He
last saw her alive on Monday morning last, at his house.
He knew that she was going to London. She told her
mother that she was going to town to make her arrange-
ments for her wedding with William Godfrey Youngman.
He had seen him for the first time a fortnight before at
his house, and he stopped there that night. He under-
stood that he had been living in service at a doctor's.
They had been acquainted some time, but had not seen
each other for several years. They appeared to live
happily together. •
John Youngman, the father, said that he worked for
his. son John, who was a tailor, at his house. He had
a son named William Godfrey Youngman, who had
lived in service as a footman. He had left that service
about a'fortnight. He had been in service close to
Charing-cross, but he did not know the house.
He had been in that service about half a year. He
(the witness) got up about five o'clock and went
for a walk. His son William had been staying at
his house with him ever since he left his place, sleeping
with his brother Thomas. On Monday last he returned
home at ten o'clock at night. His wife expected
that William was going to bring a young woman
from the country, but he did not expect that she was
*going to sleep there. He asked his son Thomas whether
the young woman and William were in the front
room with his mother, and understanding that she was
there he did not go in, but slept on a bed on his shop-
board. He had slept with one of his sons (Thomas)
for some weeks before William came. His wife and
his sou Charles slept together. He did not have any
refreshment after he got home that night, and went to
bed without seeing his wife. William came into the
room whilst he was undressing. William having un-
dressed, witness said, " When you are ready, I will put
the light out," and having asked him if he was ready
he replied, " Yes," and he extinguished the light.
About four o'clock on Tuesday morning he awoke and
saw William getting into bed. He did not pay any
particular notice to it, as he thought he had merely got
up to see the time. There was no watch or clock in
his room, but there was a clock in the other room, and
by going on to the landing the titne could be seen by
pushing the door open. He left Thomas and Charles--
in bed, and believed that his wife and the young
woman were sleeping together that night and were in
bed-When he left home on Tuesday morning. About
half-past six o'clock some one came and fetched him
home, when he saw his son Thomas, his wife, and the
young female on the landing dead, and on. going into
the front room he saw his son Charles also dead. lie
saw his son William and he said, " It was all mother."
He was taken away in custody. William showed the
knife about nine days ago, or it might have been three
weeks. When he showed it to him witness said it
was a pretty knife for the pocket. It then had a
point to it. He never saw the knife in his wife's
possession. No allusion had ever been made to it
by her, and he did not know that she knew he had
got it. He believed his wife knew that William con-
templated getting married. He had seen Miss Streeter
two or three times, once at his son John's. His wife
told him that she thought William was going to get
married to her, when he replied, " I do not want to
know anything about it. I shall have nothing to do
with it." He expected some money with the young
woman. He had no property of his own. He had no
reversionary expectation. He believed the knife was
kept in his pocket that night.
The inquiry having lasted nearly five hours, it. was
adjourned in order to obtain additional evidence.
After the jury had been bound over to appear at the
future sittings of the court, a photograph picture of the
house in which the murders were committed, prepared
by Mr. and Mrs. C. Timms, of 41, Newington-cause-
way, was produced by the Coroner, and the different
portions of the house, including the staircases, landings,
and the room in which the poor little buy was found,
was shown to the jury, and each part was pointed out
by the Coroner. It is expected that at the adjourned
inquiry some very important additional evidence will be
= laid before the jury.

TERRIBLE CATASTittiPtiE IN

MINNESOTA.

SIX PERSONS DROWNED WHILE TRYING TO
SAVE ONE.
The St. Anthony correspondent of the St. Paul
Pioneer writes to the latter on the 7th instant, the
following account of a terrible calamity :
Our community was startled on Thursday by a
report that six persons had been drowned in Lake
Calhoun. The following named persons are the lost :--
Rev. H. M. Nichols, pastor of the Congregational.
Society of Mineapolis ; Nancy, his wife, and Henry,
their son, aged thirteen ; Mr. A. Cleveland, brother-in-
law of Mr. Nichols, and Emerette, aged thirteen,.and
Ella, aged eleven, daughters of Mr. Cleveland. But
one little boy, aged two years, is left of the Nichols
family—while the Cleveland family remaining consists
of a bereaved, sorrowing wife and two interesting
daughters' of tender years.

The circumstances of the catastrophe, as correctly as
. ,
we could glean them, are as follows :—The families were
visiting the lake on a pic-nic excursion. The party
consisted of ten persons. It was proposed to bathe, and
while Mr. Nichols and Mr. Cleveland were putting on
bathing dresses, Mr. Nichols' son and Mr. Cleveland's
daughters entered the water. Owing to the abrupt
descent, some twenty feet from the margin of the water,
one of the.little girls was seen beyond her depth. This
being observed by the brave boy, he ventured in to
relieve her, failing in which he desired the other little
girl to reach out her hand, which she did.

Thus joined hand in hand they struggled, but failing
to get up the shelving bank, and becoming alarmed,
they oalled for help, when Messrs. Cleveland and
Nichols rushed in, hand in hand. Not being within
reach they requested Mrs. Nichols to enter the water,
which she did, taking her husband by the. hand. Mr.
Cleveland, still retaining a hold on Mr. Nichols' hand,
entered the deep water, and succeeded in reaching the
struggling children.
But, standing on the shelving bank, he lost his
balance, and in falling dragged Mr. Nichols and wife•
into the deep water. They sunk, retaining fast holds on
each other. Thus those that could swim were prevented
from doing so, and soon sank to rise no more. Mrs.
Nichols was buoyed up by her light skirts, and repeatedly
called on her sister, Mrs. Cleveland, to come to her aid.
This noble lady did all a delicate, sickly invalid could,
but her efforts were of no avail, and Mrs. Nichols, too,
perished.

During the afternoon of Thursday the bodies of Mr.
Nichols, wife and son, Mr. Cleveland and his two
daughters, six in number—in appropriate coffins—were
exposed in the parlour of the late residence of Mr.
Nichols, side by side, and throngs of visitors gathered
to view the sorrowful scene. •
