The CarroIIton and HoeyvIile Tragedy.

The usually quiet and order-loving Inhabitants
Of the adjoining villages of Carrollton and Hoey-
vile were thrown into terrible state OF excite
tragedy had been enacted in their midst-that a
person well known in that neighborhood, named
s. T. Rowe, had been murdered by man named
Joseph Miller, equally well known as the bar
keeper at the Hoeyville Hotel. AS the affair has
created the greatest excitement in and around Car
1olton, and many different versions and contra
dictory reports of 1t aloat, we have endeavored
TO obtain the particulars as correctly as possible,
frem the testimony elected before the jury of in
guest, and from documents on file in the Court of
CaIfolton. Like the ma orty of similar scenes,
there was woman in the case The "green-
eyed monster, that great disturber of domestic
peace, played no unimportant part in the bloody
u.stdy.
From the testimony given before the coroner's
Jury, which was very yelumlnous, 1t appears that
Rowe and his wife, who formerly resided In Gret-
ma came 10 Carollton some time ago in quest of
employment, Rowe stating that he was in the
most destitute circumstances. Mrs. Robert Hoey
employed Mrs. Rowe as a servant. 1t was not
long however before Rowe became jealous of the
bar.keeper, and dissatisfied with his wife remain
ing there. He used every means to have her re-
moved, threatening. the bar keeper (Miller) and
Hoey, and maltreating his wife. He wrote a let
ter TO Mrs Hoey, accusing his wife OF being every
thing but TIT associate OF respectable women.
of Mr. Hoey's, he challenged Mr.. Hoey to mortal
combat The following is verbatim copy of the
cartel;-
Nr HoSv - wish you to meet at four O'Clock to-
morrow morning, you sir, gentleman, to keep
mans wife in your house for another man. Either
turn her out, or meet me- or you are no gentleman.
ROWE
Mr.. Hoey politely declined the invitation, in
forming the seconds of the bellgerent Rowe, that
his usual hour of rising was six o'clock in the
morning, and to get up two hours earlier, for the
purpose OF smelling powder, was totally out of the
question. Rowe, 1t appears, finding shat neither
Hoey, nor his threatening letters to Mrs Hoey,
could effect the removal OF his wife, and consider.
ing Miller as the principal cause of his troubles,
he determined to get him out of the way, and he
accordingly went before Justice Scott, and made
the following Affidavit

sonally came and appeared Stephen r. Rowe, who be-
ing duly sworn, deposeth and says-That on June 3D.

Shortly after the above affidavit was made, Mrs.
Rowe, who, II would seem, was anx ous to get

an affidavit against her husband, charging him
with maltreatment, and attempting. her life at

have effected his diabolical purpose, had it not
been for the timely interference of Mr.. Hoey and

soners Were in charge of officer Robinson, at the

killed Rowe. Officer Robinson, Mr.. Hoey, Miller

cofehouse door, when Miller drew pistol on
Rowe and fired, the ball penetrating above the

In Saturdays sale were several Of the docu.

TRAGICAL AFFAIR-We take the fol-
lowing account of very tragical affair
that lately occurred in Ohio, from the
Ohio Statesman:
A father and son, living in Ross county.
by the name of Christy, both of whom
were addicted to intemperance, lately
quarreled and the son beat the father
The father then ordered the son to leave
his premises-threatenin if he returned,
to kill him He did return, and the father,
true to his word for once, shot him dead
in his tracks. The citizens, being afraid
to arrest him after the commission of the
horrid deed, he left and went into Clinton
county, where he run at large for two or
three weeks, until his daughter who had
witnessed the tragedy, learning his
Whereabouts, followed him into Clinton,
went before magistrate, made oath to
the facts and had her father arrested. At
last accounts he was lying in Clinton Jail,
aw aiting the arrival of the sheriff from
Ross. This case is certainly without a
parallel father beaten by his son, son
Shot by his father, and the father arrested
upon the affidavit of his daughter.

THE PEsTILENCE ST. LoUIs.-The St. Lonis
Union gives a sad account of the condition of
things in that city at the present time. 1t says:
All worldly matters have now given way in
this city, to the absorbing dread of the cholera
This terrible destroyer of the human race seems
to increase in violence in this city daily until we
can scarcely look at its ravages without shudder
of terror. Already it has carried off over five
thousand of our population, and now its blow falls
with more fearful and fatal rapidty than ewes. To
add to our terror, medical specifics and medical
skill. become each day more inefficient and use
less to arrest the disease in its progress to fatality
Contrary to our first suppositions, it seems now to
have little regard to the classes of society it
attacks, as the rich fall with the poor; the tenn
perate and comfortable in life, along with the dis
solute, the abandoned, or the wretched. The past
weeks bill of mortality goes to prove this; as in it
will be found numbers of what are called the bet
ter class Of society; large number Of these, fe-
males, too, whom bound to believe were
prudent and temperate. On the other hand,
three or four hundred generally impoverished,
dirty and wretched foreigners, quarantined below
this city remain comparatively healthy, IN all their
filth and dscomforts. AS regards the city itself,
We have heard it remarked often of late, that in
the most filthy parts of It there is now the least
amount of sickness.
