Our readers will remember the case Of the
Rev. JoBs Il. CLARK, ID. D., Of Pittsburgh, who
was tried by the Presbytery Of Allegheny for
having dsh>norably broken an engagement Of
marriage to Miss LILLE HAWKES.. The conclu-
sion Of the tribunal was not favorable to DR..
CLARK. II appeared that he had made love to
Miss HAWKES. in very ardent manner, and that
he had broken of the engagement upon very
frivolous prete1t For this he was sentenced 10
be publicly reprimanded by the President of the
ecclesiastical court which tried him, and the
reprimand was administered on the spot amid
tears and sorrow. IL seems, however, that this
trial and reprmand did not settle the business,
and that q committee Of three was appointed by
the Presbytery to make some further inquiries
respecting the facts Of the case. This committee
have recently made their report They find that
there lie evidence TO justify new trial upon the
charge that Dr. CLARK. was guilty Of duplicity in
being engaged TO be married TO two ladies at the
same time The committee are also Of the opin-
ion that he was guilty Of Sabbath breaking in
writing letters TO Miss HAWKES. on Sunday and
also in paying her Il lovers visits on that day.
Upon this question Of Sabbath breaking. the
Presbytery adopted a resolution formally ap-
proving the action Of the committee, aud eI.
ressing their decided dsapproya Of DR.. CLARk's
conduct in this respect. Accordingly, all rc-sons
under the authority of this Presbyte,; viii
henceforth do well not 10 write any love lie tcrs
on Sunday, or pay any visits Of affection on that
day TO the women Of their hearts. As for the
crime of duplcity in being engaged to be mar
ried to two ladies' at the same time the Presby.
terry refused to endorse the report Of the COM
mittee or to institute any proceedings. While
their condemnation of Sabbath love letters and
Sunday lovers calls is earnest and uncompro-
missing, they are not prepared to express them
selves in the same unqualified manner with re-
gard to forming engagements of marriage with
two lovely women at the same time. And yet TO
ordinary apprehension it is the more damnsble
sin Of the two.

Murder IND SUICIDE.

A shocking tragedy occurred at half past
o clock last evening at the residence of Mr..
Howard A. Holloway, No. 1908 South Ninth
street, below Wharton. Amelia Mclaughlin,
eyed about twenty-six years, employed as
domestic in the family, was shot in the
breast and instantly killed by a young man
named William Stratton, gas-ftter, who re-
sided at No. 613 Federal street. 1t seems
that Stratton, who occasionally got drunk,
was in the habit of visiting Amelia at the re-
sidence of Mr.. Holloway for several months,
but his conduct was of such character that
he was forbid coming to the house. On a
recent occasion he struck Amelia and black
ened both her eyes,
Last evening he went to the house, and as
cended to the second story, and there had an
interview with Amelia. Mr.. Holloway was
seated at or standing near the front door,
Amelia came down stairs and requested him
to ''let Stratton 90 away in peace" and then
returned up stairs where he was. Presently
the reports of pistol were heard. Lieutenant
Smith, of the Seventh district, was promptly
at the scene, and upon entering the second
story front room he discovered Stratton
gasping for breath, lying on the floor by the
front of a lounge, seven-shooter near his
right hand. Amelia, who had evidently fallen
from the lounge upon the end of which she
had been sitting, was in half reclining posi-
tion in the corner of the room; the bosom of
her outside dress was on fire.
Lieutenant Smith Immediately drew her
out from the corner and extinguished the fire.
She was dead Dr. Edward Guth was sent
for, but when he arrived the man was dead.
Amelia had been out in the afternoon, but
whether in Stratton's company could not be
definitely stated by any person present. The
family in which she lived speak in excellent
terms as to her character. She had lived
there about two years. Lieutenant Smith
took possession of the pistol with which this
tragedy was committed. 1t is apparently a
new weapon, or one that had been but little
used. Upon an examination of the body of
Amelia two wounds were discovered in her
breast. Stratton shot himself in the right
temple.

From Our Olon Correspondent
NEW YORK. June 8, 1870.

The young lady who calls herself the daugh-
ter of Lola Montez and the King of Bavaria has
been exciting a good deal of attention. For
the past two years she has been residing at the
Astor House, where it is pleasant to learn she
was able 10 defray expenses that could not have
been very small. However, so that she paid
her bills and conducted herself with passable
propriety, the gentlemen conducting that classic
establishment found no fault and expressed
themselves satisfied. day or two ago,
however, on a bill being presented, the
young lady expressed herself out of funds tenn
porarily and requested short "wait" Then
she is said to have gone up to her apartment
and had fit, in which condition she was dis
covered by one of the attendants of the hotel.
The attentions to which Miss Montez or Princess
Editha, has been subject of late from the Sorosis
are quite enough to give her or any ordinary
woman an epileptic attack. The young lady
originally set out with the design of lecturing
on the wrongs of her mother "the Countess of
Landsfeldt." Whether she was right or
wrong In thinking that the public would be
interested in her view of the matter is
a question aside from the subject now in
hand. 1t is certain that the Sorosis
and some of the fragments of the Woman's Suf-
frage Association got around the poor thing,
and talked her into attempting lecture on
"Womans Rights, upon which she was not at
all posted. To the improvisation she was thus
compelled to make she attributes her failure.
The sympathies of the reader will be awakened
when he learns that the unhappy young woman
is subject to epileptic attacks. Upon her being
found in one of these seizures in her apart
ment she was conveyed to police headquarters,
that being considered by the Stetsons sovereign
remedy for diseases of that nature when the
invalid has no money. Fortunately for the
