More Murders and Mysteries.

The record OF horrors served up in one issue
OF the daily press gives an appalling view Of
the state Of society we present, with morality
and early training gone to the dogs, as they
are, and all our preachers and teachers dis
cussing philosophical and Gsthetical principles
and problems. In one issue we had the story
OF an frishman in Hartford who tried to kill
his wife with an axe; of a man in Bangor who
shot woman four times with revolver; Of
man at Sleepy Hollow who varied the enter
tainment of his dinner party by shooting two
men, his guests, and beating his wife to death
with the butt of his gun; Of policeman shot
in the street in this city; and of the Elizabeth
street tragedy with its strange murder and
suicide. Only the two cases of accumulated
savagery are difficult Of comprehension. No
satisfactory explanation seems forthcoming of
The crime at Sleepy Hollow, and this very
want of apparent motive at once throws the
cass mtg that largely Increasing glass stFl-
buted to insanity. What else but insanity can
account for an outburst Of savage fury that
drives a man to butcher all the members of his
dinner party? Well, then, was the German up
jn Elizabeth street insane also? His fury was
no less inconsistent as he took the life Of the
woman he is supposed to have loved, and then
killed himself, perhaps, because he would not
be in the world without her. 1t is thought
that jealousy may have led to this, and if it
prove otherwise this crime also will be set
down to insanity. II is an uncomfortable re-
Election for people who would be safe that this
sort of insanity so often gives its first mani
fesation with revolver.
