From an editorial of the Chicago Tribune,
an extract from which appears in our col

The movement ON the part Of the Chicago
Banks is doubtless intended 70 serve their
own convenience by compelling the Wiscon-
ain Banks to redeem their currency in that
city, or 1t some other accessible point. There
il no reasonable doubt but that the Wiscon'

Horrible Murder in New York
A whole Family Attacked by
ono OF its Members.
NEW YoRK, Wednesday Oct. q.

New York, Wednesday Oct. 81.
A horrible massacre took place last
night in West Thirtieth street in this
city. Two persons were murdered and
five wounded, it is supposed MORALLY.
The victims are the family of Francis
Goulding, lumber merchant, consisting
of himself, his wife, two sons, two
daughters aud a servant girl. The sons,
aged respectively nine aud twelve years,
arc. already dead, and the wife is dying.
The others can not live.
The murderer who is the eldest son
of Mr.. Goulding, has committed sui
eide. The motive of the murderer is
supposed to be revenge, he having been
detected some weeks in the act of
robbiug his father to a large amount
LATER.-The following is al account
of the horrible massacre: Last night
Young Goulding returned home about
IL o'clock, laboring under detiriuns
~frcsaems. Proceeding to the celler he
procured an axe, and went to his IA
theirs chamber and attacked him, heat
ing in his skull by several blows with
the axe. The father can not live. Mrs.
&oulJing, hearing the cries of her hus-
band, rushed from another room to his
assistance, and was In return attacked
by the Infatuated son, and very badly
wounded. r
His two brothers-one three years
old and the other fourtccn-were next
attacked, receiving several blows from
the axe. The eldest will not live. His
married sister, with a child in her arms,
was the next victim, but she managed
to escape without being seriously in
jured. .
Two servant girls, who had rushed
into the hall, were next attacked. and
so horribly butchered that it is feared
neither will live. Both have been sent
to the hospital.
The assassin finally went to his own
chamber, where, after locking himself
in, he blew out his " brains with a
pistol.
The Goulding family have held a
highly respectable position in the com
munity. Mr.. Goulding is an officer OF
the Thirtieth Street Methodist Church.
and is well known in New York.
Another account states that all the
family had retired when young Gould
ing returned home, except his father,
who let him in. The father retired.
when the son crept down from his own
chamber with a Ratchet or axe. and
commenced the attack upon his father.
and next upon his mother, who lay
asleep. Both of his brothers were also
asleep when attacked. They are terri.
bly, mangled, and neither are expected
to survive. The servants are said to
have been attacked in their own cham
Der. The murderer then rushed to the
room occupied by his sisters, one aged
fifteen and the other less than two. but
the door was fortunately locked, and
they escaped injury.
The father is reported to be dead anG
the eldest son dying. The mothers re.
covery is also doubtful. The condition
Of the youngest son, is also critical
TIE servant girls, it is supposed, are no
fatally injured.
Mr.. Goulding is a man of wealth, be
ing a retired hardware merchant.
Tho murderer was only %nineteer
years of age; was a clerk in a hardwar
store and always bore the reputation c
a fast young man. He had lately be
come very dissipated.
