A strange and startling affai r occurred
on Saturday morning at the Sailors
Snug llarbor, on Staten Island, New
York. A prayer meeting was held in
the morning, at which large number
OF the inmates attended. After the SER
vices was concluded, one of the sailors,
who had acted suspiciously, approached
the chaplain, and drawing a concealed
pistol. suddenly shot him dead AS if
horrlted at the attrocity of the deed,
the murderer then shot himself. The
latter attempt was, however, not effect
ual, and the murderer and the would be
suicide is still alive, though badly wonn-
ded, while the unfortunate chaplain
died almost Immediately. 1t is alleged
that the cause OF the murder was fear on
the part OF the sailor lest his confidence
should be betrayed by the char lain to
whom he bad recently confessed pre-
