Horrible Ira gedy.

TROY, Wednesday, Aug. IL
An appalling and bloody tragedy came to light
this morning at the St Charles Hotel About III
o'clock this forenoon Mr.. II. B. Mcdonald, the pro-
prietor Of the hotel, thinking there was something
wrong 10 the non appearance Of a man and woman
who bad stopped ~ travellers, went up 70 'ner
room and knocked at the door, but receiving no
apsver he opened a small window over the door
when horrid spectacle was presented. Both man
and woman were dead. The bodies, the clothes
and the bed were covered with blood and the
tbroats of both were cut and horribly mstlated.
The man and woman came to the hotel about
O'Clock on Monday morning. From facts which
were brought out, 1t was found that the mansname
WAS William A. Caldwell, q resident OF White
hall where he has father living. He was from
twenty4x to thirty years Of age aud had re-
turned from sea about three or four months since.
He was well dressed and Of respectable appear
snce. The womsns maiden name was Louisa c.
Van Wrinkle but it ia believed she was OF late
known by the name Of Knapp. She was bitween
% and 30 years old, and very beautiful. She WI"
dressed in deep mourning and is stated to be rom
Brookl,n. The Coroner OF Troy being out OF the
CITY. Coroner Cogswell of Lsnsiugburg W" sent
or 10 held an inquest. Toe Jary, after hearing the
facts in the case, returned the folio wing verdict
That the women came to her death by having her
throat cut from ear to ear by the hands OF William
A. Caldwell, on the evening OF Tuesday, aud sna

The MILEAGE The Buffalo Express, speaking
Of Mileage Reform, says:

The MILEAGE me BUgdio Express, speaking
Of Mileage Reform, says
"NobOdy-with the possible exception Of the
Editor OF The Itibune-supposes the Members to
be in earnest or substantial reform to be practca-
bic yet they reproduce the play, every year, with
the greatest regularity. The truth is, nothing 10
intended, except to deceive the people into the
belief that there 10 sincere desire 70 economist,
while their ultimate action will demonstrate pre-
cisely the contrary. All Congressional reforms
are chimercal and hopeless Every year sees
more or less undertaken, bat nothing Of value has
yet been accomplished
What the Editor Of The Tribune supposes
in this connection is not that the Members of Con.
gress are, or are not, in esrnest-some are, but
MORE probably, are not-but that The People ARE
and II they cannot secure the Reform OF so dlf.
graceful swindle AZ this Mileage grab has been
through their present Members Of Congress, they
will elect Members who will make the crooked
paths straight. Only let the matter be fairly set
before them and the People will make 1t right
The House, it will be seen, has adopted and
pa,,ed by the Ways and Means prOviso on this
subject which, though not perfect savery long step
in the right direction 1t cannot now be stricken
out Of the bill except by vote in the House when
the bill comes out OF Committee, and then the
Yeas and Mays can be called on it, SO there is
no danger in the House. And If the Senate should
undertake to strike /. out, We trust there is some
one Senator may be found to rise ar make an elo-
quent and powerful speech on the Peoples side Of
the question to this extent and purport
20, President, on that motion ask the Yeas
and Nays"
We believe that is al yet remaining " 10 done
70 secure fair measure Of Mileage Reform.
