horrible HHmrder md Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA March 30.--A horrible
murder was committed here Yesterday under
peculiar circumstances. Barly Yesterday
morning man threw himself into the Del.
aware and drowned. Subsequently n hand.
kerchief was found In the water bearing the
name Of Blackstone. This afternoon the
body wac recovered and found to be Black.
stone, Of the firm of Hurston d Blackstone,
picture frame makers, 9i2 Market street.
The body was cent to his house ia the ex.
trene northwestern part Of the city. Arri
wing there the parties found another party
OF police in possession, and that Blackstone's
wife and two small children were dead,
chopped to pieces with on axe.
II appears that previous to committing
the act, yesterday, Blackstone wrote letter
to his wife's father, in Connecticut, saying
that lie had killed his wife and children and
would kill himself. Parties in Connecticut,
this 2 p. m, then telcgraphed to the police
authorities here, who went to the house and
found the lead bodies as before stated and
were investigating the case when the dead
body of the father was brought in. On
Blacks.one's body was found paper stating
that he had been robbed and was q ruined
man, and giving this as the reason for the
decd. The wife appears to have been killed
while lighting fire in stove, on Monday
morning, as the ncighbors heard noise
about that time. The children were killed
up stairs, and carried down stairs and laid
at the feet of the mother. Blackstone was
probably insane.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
By inquiry of the proper persons, we as
certaned at a late hour last night that the
report that the defalcation of a clerk caused
the insanity, murder and suidide, is not true
The deficiency in the cash account was
comparative trife. Besides, the father of
Mr.. Blackstone, who lives in Madison, Con
necticut, is worth SAC, 1000 or $50, 900. 1t is
now believed that the sole cause Of the mur.
der was insanity. Blackstone lived on the
best terms with his wife, was very affection
ate with his children, and to everybody kind
and liberal. He was temperate, moral and
strict church member. But for some weeks
he has acted strangely, though no one seems
to have suspected that his mind was affect.
ed. These, at least, are the statements of
those who were intimate with him, and &C.
quainted with his business relations
1t has also been ascertained that about six
o'clock on Monday morning a next. door
ncighbor heard a dull, humping sound in
Backstone's kitchen. She thought that
Mrs. Blackstone was moving tubs, and gave
no further thought to the matter.
The bodies of the entire family have been
removed to the house of Cyrus Horne, un
dertaker, Eleventh and Market streets.

THE DEN. CRATIC MEETING, IN
Ashlan on Tucslny was very wei
attended. The Town Hall was filled
aid the utmost attention paid to the
speech of Senator Thurman. He
spoke for nearly two hours on the is
sues Of tile day He dwelt with sig
nal force upon the Fifteenth Amend
ment fraud-the alarming extrava-
gance of the Republican administers
ton ut Washington-the question of
redeeming the $50 bonds in. green
backs, and the taxation of the bonds
as other property is taxed the vii
famous discrimination and favorite-
ism of the tariff-the pretended re con
struction theories of the Radicals, and
the impending dangers to the Union
arising from the consolidation projects
of those who desire Office more than
the peace of The country; and pointed
out the dangers to arise from open
ing our ports to the Chinese pagan.
He repealed the charges of extlava-
gance made against the last Legis!a-
ture, and declared that which is indis-
putable, viz: that the Republicans had
voted for, and asked the passage of
the very measures now complained of.
The Senator was followed in a short
speech, by Mr.. Heisley, a tale ted
young lawyer from Cleveland. His
remarks were eloquent and to the pur-
pose.
All, in all, the meeting was a sue
cess. We are convinced that those
who heard the mastery effort of Sen
ator Thurman, were more than ever
resolved to stand by the good old
Democratic party and its time honor
ed principles.
