SHOCKING TRAGEDY-A DOUBLE MURDER
IN A HOUSE OF ILL.FAME-A WOMAN
KILLS TWO MEN.

MILLS INU MEN.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin, July 8.
One Of the most desperate and shocking cases
of murder that has taken place in our city for
years past occurred between 9 and 10 o'clock on
Monday night, at a tavern on Third street, below
Grard avenue sixteenth Ward The principal
in this tragedy was q woman named Adela Rid.
ley aged about "a years, who stabbed two bro
theirs named Joseph and Isaac Sides, causing the
instant death of the former and intiicting wounds
of such character on the latter as to cause his
death about 10 o'clock last night. Without pre-
vious quarrel, she drew large dirk, which she
plunged twice into Joseph Sides back, under the
left side piercing the heart Sides staggered
70 zed chair, with the ntention-its is supposed
Vt defending himself, and raising it about three
feet fell dead. Isaac Sides, Joseph's brother, who
was present and witnessed the whole affair, at
tempted to deLan the murderess with the inten-
ton of having her arrested. He seized her by the
head and pushed her downward, when, with the
same weapon covered with blood she stabbed
him several times in the stomach, inticting fear
full wounds, from which his entrails protruded.--
He fingered in great pain until ABOUT lO CLOCK
last night when he expired. As soon as the IN.
furiated woman had finished her horrible deed
she hastened TO her home, exchanged her dress
for complete sailors rig, and, in this male at
tire, was about making her escape. She was ar
rested by the police as she was about passing out
by the back entrance. When taken into custody
she had nothing TO say, aud has not yet made any
explanation In regard TO the sad affair. Sne Is
rather pepossessng In looks has short curry nalr'
and much becomes sailors attire. When we saw
her at the station house, she very much reminded
us of a landsman about nineteen years OF age
She was fully committed by the coroners jury 10

the following items
1t has at last been positively ascertained uhat
was the fate Of the specie sent from here by the New
Orleans Banks at the time the city was captured
by the Union forces. Immediately upon the sur.
render Of the Confederate armies a Commission
was sent by the Banks into the Confederacy TO
look after, and, If possible to secure this money.
The Commission consisted of Mr. Irvine, now act.
inv cashier Of one Of the banks, and Mr. West an
old merchant of this city.
Telegraphic adyices have been received from
them which do not leave room 10 doubt that the
money was all used by the Rebel authorities prior
to and at the time Of the grand collapse. n has
also been pretty clearly ascertained that a large
sum of money was appropriated by some of the
high Confederate dgnitaries for their own per.
sonal benefit There were about 81 100000 of
this specie In all and its loss will prove severe
blow TO the Banks. The agents OF the Banks
