ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The reporter of THE EVENING TELEGRAPH
visited the scene of the late murder this morn
ing, and found an immense crowd In attendance.
The house is located due north and south, and
in the rear is a large wood-shed. The front
room, which is about twelve feet square, was
comparatively in good order. On the east side
windows open looking towards the Delaware.
Between the dining-room and the kitchen,
which Is in the rear, there is fight OF stairs,
leading to the upper portions of the building.
In the sitting room we're found suit of child's
clothes, which, it is supposed, the mother was
making at the time the attack was made. Work
baskets, spools of cotton, thread, and other
articles of domestic use were found scattered
around in confusion. The cradle of the child,
with its furniture was found in this room, but
no traces of blood, or any indications OF
struggle. The chairs, tables, and stoves were all
in their usual positions
The parlor, about IL by l6, was somewhat dis
arranged, the furniture being found in confu-
sion. There was desk and two clocks, one an
old fashioned eightday and the other mantle
ornament.
The kitchen was in complete order, the dishes
being washed and in the closet. The usual fur
niture of the kitchen was found undlsturbed.
matters were In disorder, the work of the cham.
bermaid having been apparently omitted. The
beds were unmade, ind on one of them bon
net and set of furs were found.
Description OF the Supposed Murderer.
Chief Detective Benjamin Franklin has, after
considerable difficulty, succeeded In obtaining a
tolerably accurate description of the German
employed by Mr. Deering, and who 1t is supposed
committed the foul deed. Several persons have
undertook to describe the man, but the accounts
vary in many particulars. The description ap.
pended is, however, agreed to in its main points
by all parties who have seen the missing Ger
mani
He was known by the name of Anthony or
Anton He is about 2S or 30 years OF age, feet
IL inches in height; light HAIR and light COM
plexion. He wears or did wear when last seen,
tnin moUstache of light color. and thin
light colored gOatee.
He is round shouldered and stoops when
walking. He walks very slowly, and takes lone
strides, and his general movements are of a
rather awkward character. He has pimples on
his face, and speaks very Indifferent English.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, April IA horrible
murder was committed near Warsaw, Richmond
county, Va. on the morning of the Sd inst. A
man by the name Of julius Hall went into the
kitchen where colored woman and her three
children we're, and with an axe killed them all.
The woman was found lying in the middle of the
floor, weltering in her blood; near the bed was
found one of the children, girl about seven
years OF age, with her brains running out;
another, five years old, and an infant, not yet a
year old, we're found lying near the fireplace
with their skulls smashed in. Hall was arrested
and committed to Jail for trial at the next term
of the Court.
After he had committed the deed he told his
wife that he had done IT; ne then went to his
fathers, some four miles distant and told his
father what he had done-"that he didn't want
to do it, but stated that something told him he
must do it," He said this woman had never
done anything to cause him to do as he had
done. Hall seems very much depressed, and
has evinced a disposition to kill himself. He
having acted in strange manner for some time
past, it is supposed that his mind was in de-.
ranged condition at the time the deed was com.

SHOCKING DETAILS.

The body of the hired boy, known as Corne-
Illus, was found this morning by the officers at
halfpast ten o'clock. He was discovered under
the haystack short distance southeast OF the
dwelling, with his throat cut from ear to ear.
From bruises found upon his personit is thought
that he was struck in the head with the pole of
the axe, and either shot or struck in the breast
with fork. His body was found by Officers
Mitchell, Kepher, and Tucker
Officer Tucker also found the pantaloons and
coat of the German in his room, with marks of
blood upon them. His shirt and drawers were
found about a square from the haystack. The
detectives are upon the track and but little
doubt is entertained of capturing the criminal at
an early day.

"BRuWN" Co.'s TO MARKET.-Our Brown
has always been dear lover of the canine
species, and regularly keeps three or four dogs
on his lot Some how or other, he has gotten
hold OF a very quarrelsome breed, and when
no strange dog is about they fight it out
amongst themselves
Brown never allows his ours to follow him.
but they will go to market with Uncle Jim,
who carries the basket
A few mornings since, two Of the Aforesaid
DOGS arrived with "Jiln" in market, and were
quietly resting near the stall of "Aunt Patsy"
awaiting the coming of Mr.. Brown, when a
strange cur made his appearance. He was a
big deg" and they eyed him some time be-
fore they determined to make the attack, but
finally getting on his ''hanks," they seized
tilt, with Browns two dogs hanging on to
him.
The first impeachment they met was a lady,
who was walking leisurey ahead of them.
She was suddenly struck about the knees with
three-dog- power force, when of course down
she went, at the same time uttering such a
shout as would have doue credit to North
Carolina camp meeting. But on went the
dogs and soon they came in contact with an
other female, with very large hoops. The first
collision failed to knock her down, and the
Roadway Of the dogs was stopped.
Then and there commenced "a fight in which
about twenty-seven dogs, belonging to the
butchers joined The unfortunate lady with
the big hoops became entangled in the general
melee, and such scene Of "nose and contu-
sion" has not been witnessed in the market for
number of years.
The row was finally put an end to, by the
Clerk Of the Market making sausage meat OF
some Of the smaller ours, when the larger ones
quit the field.
Since then Brown has given up dogs. Tie
has sent the two pugnacious ours to the coun-
try, and thus the city is damaged to the
amount of four dollars, in the way of Dog
