been told in this account The weapon with which
the horrible tragedy was committed was revolver,
been given by the son to the father some three or
four weeks since, and which had been placed in
bureau-drawer by the father The supposltlOn is
that the son on coming down from his hding-place
this morning had gone to his fathers room, and,
after attirng himself took out the revolver and put
it in his pocket Then, II is also suppos ed that he
overheard the conversation at the breakfast-table,
and, becoming enraged at the manner in which he
was to be disposed or had sought to prevent his in
carceration by killing his father.
The deceased 90 years OF age and had long been
i'm the real estate business at No. 43l% Walnut street
He was well known throughout the city and highly
respected The murderer Is 26 years OF age, and
formerly was i'm the boot and shoe business at Ridge
avenue and Spring Garden street, though until
April May, he had been doing little i'm the to-
bacco trade. lie is highly spoken Of by his acquain-
tances, and all credit him with being an afiectOnate
husband His wife is also represented as being
lovely woman, and one who recprocated his at
taChment His strange conduct towards her cannot
be accounted for in any way.
FURTHER PARTICULARS
The revolver and knife were both taken from Mar

Tennessee md the Constitutional Amendment.
Special Despatch 10 The EDening Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-It is the opinion OF
Colonel Stokes that the Tennessee Legislature
will not ratify the fifteenth Constitutional
amendment, especially if it is ascertained that
the action of Tennessee is necessary to make it
a part of the Constitution. The new Governor
(Senter) is publicly committed in its favor, but
he speaks against it in private. Brownlow will
have no influence with the majorityo of the MEM
bers of the new Legislature.
BurAlar Proof Locks.
Treasury officials are very much demoralZed
at the successful picking of their most secure
locks by an expert last Saturday. Some of them
affect to create the impression that it is a mat
ter of little consequence. General Spinner, how
ever, who is responsible for the Government
funds in the Treasury, is greatly alarmed He
say that what has been done by Mr.. Sargent
may be done by any expert burglar, and he pro-
poses to adopt such precautions as will make
the Government secure from loss. Double locks
are to be used for the present, until a real burg
lar-proof lock can be found.
Negro School Directors.
The appointment of negroes as trustees of the
public schools of this city has disgusted the
white teachers. They say they will not submit
to the supervision of negroes, no matter how
well educated they may be, and as a consequence
many of them have resigned. The schools here
will open on the first with a new set of teachers.
The school trustees do not agree among them
selves on the proposition to consolidate the
white and colored schools, and some of the
white trustees threaten to resign and leave the
field to the negroes.
The President.
The report that the President would be here
this week is unfounded. He will not return
until next week and will then remain but a
couple of days. A Cabinet meeting will be held
and the accumulated business disposed of, after
which the President will leave the city.

The Promise of the Crops.

By the AngO-A Rericdn Gable.
LONDON, Aug. PA great mass of details
concerning the condition and promise of the
growing crops, has recently been collected 1t
seems to be the general impression that the late
dry and cool weather has been of immense SER
vice to the country. Much corn has already
been gathered, and another fortnight like the
past and the crisis of the harvest will be over.
The copious rains which fell some time ago.
though they delayed, did not damsge the corn.
The favorable change in the weatherhas stopped
the advance in the price of all sorts of corn but
great fluctuations arc still expected as the crops
in all Europe promise to be light.
Cuba and Spain.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The Morning Telegraph
Qibera), in an editorial to-day, says if Cuba
sewers her connection with Spain, it will only be
to form new bond with the United States
England could feel no jealousy at the aggran-
dizement which would complete the abolition
of slavery as an institution. The loss of Cuba
to Spain would be an unquestionable gain to the
mother country, the colony, and the cause of
mankind.
