Horrible Tragedy Two Persons Shot.

One Of the most revolving scenes we ever
witnessed came under our personal ohserNa
ton Yesterday. During the morning. inlrl~
ligence reached us OF a bloody tragedy that
had been perpetratcd on the Delaware Turn
pike, about five miles from this city, the vic
Tins being a man and his wife.-We al once
proceeded to the sput where the deed had
been committed, aud found our informant
had but family described the same.
From the evidence of the witnesses ex-
amined before the inquest, held by Coroner
Brewer, we CLEAN the following particulars i;
The deceased were named John Moore
and Elizabeth Moore his Nife-lhe former a.
bout 40 years Of aye, the latter about 80. Dur
ing the forenoon of "Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. had been IN the city, and or returning
had stopped at La Grange's tavern, where
they drank quite freely of liquor. They
then went to The house Of one John Day, a
bout an eighth of mile from the the bridge
crossing the Nonmanskill creek. Here they
met Mr.. ID. and one ortwo others, aud liq-
uor was drank freely by all present.
James Riley testified that he was present
at the time, and drank with Moore six times,
and probably more, and thinks Moore had
drank considerably when The witness, was
not ny ilDcss ala not see MIS-. moore
drink any except when sharing a pint of
spirits with five others. lie did not hear
Moore speak harshly 10 his wife nor did he
notice any i'll feeling between them He
never knew Nj. to quarrel with his wife, but
on the contrary. he had always spoken IA
vorably aud kindly Of her,
John Day testified that he took Moore and
his wife home that both were very much
intoxicated, and that Mrs NJ, upon getting
out of the wagon, fell down. She went in
TO the house and got candle, and upon
coming out handed it to her husband, when
witness says he used very harsh language
towards her.
This is the last they were seen alive by
any person. About six o'clock Yesterday
morning a man named Samuel Wollev. while
passing down the road, heard boy say that
Mrs. Moore was dead. lie went directly to
the house, and saw Mrs. NJ lying about five
yards from the door, just inside ofihe fierce,
the head partly blown off. and lying in a
pool Of blood. lie then went in the house
and found Moore lying by the stove with a
double barrel fowline piece by his side, one
charge Of which had been lodged in his right
side, penetrating his heart. AT bis feet his

other two and half years old-were stand

Message of the French President.

The Paris correspondent Of the New
Norh Commercial says;
a natural inquiry aiming Americans W II
be- has he ia anything which interests Us

lilte hearts would brenk.
Dr. L. j. Van Allen after examining the
bodies' gave II as his opinion that Mrs.M.
was shot by her husband, and Subsequently
that he had put an end TO his own life.
From the general opinion of the neiobbors.
and the evidence, the following conclusions
were arrived at, That The deceased were
both very much intoxicated. and after Dav
had left them aud they had gone into the
house they quarrelled together that during
the dispute Moore took his fowlinq>piece and
discharged both barrels at his wife. both
charges entering her head on the ripbt side
and SCATTERING tho skull in most horrible
manner that he then re-loaded the gun, and
going in the house, placed the muzzle 10 his
SIDE and with his loot upon The lock discbarp-
ed one of the barrels. Il is almost certain
hat 10th barrels were discharged when he
shot his wife, from Ire fact that he musi have
reloaded the gun, as one of the barrels was
loaded when found yesterday morhino =
What should have led 10 this truly bloody
deed cannot be imagined they lived happi-
ly together and were never known to have
quarrelled. Moore had been accustomed TO
drink, although when nebtiaied he never
was seen toqulrrel with his wife Madden.
ed by lquor-which was worse than deadly
poison, as it deprived him of his reason-he
must have lost all control Of his passion. and
/ in moment Of frenzy, while quarrelng with
his wife, he must have conceived and inn
mediately carried into effect the borrid pur-
pose. They have lived in the house where
the tragedy was committed for several YEAR.
and the neighbors a, seri that they have never
witnessed any difficulty between them. Con-
scqurntly the poisonous drugs which Moore
had been drinking induced the criminal ac-
ton which first sent his wife into eternity,
and perhaps temporary feeling of remorse
urged him 10 put an end to his own miserable
existence.
The two orphan children appeared TO
be well aware OF the melancholy proceeds

both father and mother. They wept bitter,
| ly when told they should never see their mar.
enis again. The manged remains of the
wife, and lyid features Of the husbands
corpse would have caused the stoutest heart
to sicken at the sight.
The jury of inquest after carefully de-
liberaiing, rendered the following verdict
that The Elizabeth Moore came to her death
by being shot by her husband and that John
Moore came to his death by shooting him,

The New York School Disaster.

We take from the Courier & Euquir-
er, of Saturday, the following partlcu-
lars of the unfortunate and serious loss
Of life which was mentioned by tele-
graph yesterday =
FmGHTfuL CAsuALry.-One Of the
most painful casualties, involving a
frighlul loss OF life. which ii has ever
been our duty to record, took place yes
terday afternoon at The Ninth Ward
School. House, III Greenwich avenue,
when over forty LILLE children, boys and
girls, were without moments warning
hurried into eternity.
Before commencing our relation of
this lamentable occurrence, it may be
well To describe the construction OF the
building in which the catastrophe took
place. The School building is a large
fye>story new stone edlhce. built, as
was supposed, in the most thorough. GO
ing manner. The stairway is of that
description known among builders as a
ieeii- staircase, tagged with stone on the
ground floor. In the rear of the bullG.
ing there is another stairway; but the
principal mode of access to the School
rooms is by the well-slaircase.
On the first landing is located the
Primary Department on the second,
the Glrls' Department, and on the third
the Boys Department, and so on; aud
daily. some eighteen hundred children
of beth sexes attend the School.
Shortly after two o'clock on Thurs
day, all the pupils being in the building,
the principal Of the female department,
Miss Harrison, was suddenly seized with
a fit of paralysis, and fell lainlng from
her chair. The pupils became alarmed,
and two or three ran out TO procure as
sistance for her. Seeing the children
running, some inconsderale person in
the street raised the cry Of fire the
bell on Jefferson market station, which
is within block, was quickly struck,
and in moment, a crowd gathered a.
round the School House. The alarm
of fire having communicated TO the pu-
pills, rendered them almost frantic with
excitement, and they all rushed out in a
body, from the four floors, crowding
down to the street by means of the we'll
staif>case. In the excitement of the
moment, the children were some of them,
forced over the bannisiers--olhers leaped
down and were instantly killed by fall
ing upon the pavement at the bottom of
the well-and finally the rush became
so great. that the bannsters gave way,
and the children were precipilated down,
more than fifty steps. aud piled one on
the other at the bottom of the well.
The confusion can be better imagined

THE REGISTER.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. &c, 1851.



The Legislature closed its session
on Thursday morning last, having sat
six weeks. No session of equal length
has been held since 1880, when the
statutes were revised. Among The
principal causes for the protrac,ed sit
ting of this year were,-the spirited
contest in relation to the petition Of the
Atlantic aud 81. Lawrence Railroad for
an amendment of their charter within
this State; the unusual number of ap,
plcatons for Bank charters, together
with the strong efforts TO secure the pas
sage Of General Banking Law; anG,
we are constrained to add, an increas-
ing tendency TO abridge the business
hours of Saturday and Monday if not
by actually adjournng over, at least by
so extensive deSerti0n as to amount
to little else. After making all neces-
sary allowances. however. we believe
that few Legislatures have accomplished
mare important work, and that what has
been lost in time has been gained in
deliberatinn.
The General Banking law, after many
turns Of fortune, at last passed, by nine
majority in the Senate, and by 6Ilv-one
majority in the House. The results Of
this measure, strongly guarded as it ap-
pears TO be, are to our mind problemal,
ical. aud we have steadily opposed it.
AS it finally passed. however, it is far
less Objectionable than in its previous
shape. tput summary quietus upon
all the numerous applications for new
Bank charters, and a, the same time, it
is believed to be so stringent in It's pro-
visions that few, if any, corporations
will be organized under it, 1t finally
passed as a conservative measure, aud
il more nearly resembles the Massachu
sets law Of the last session than the
New York system. Its passage was gem

present Banks.
