A HORRIBLE MATRIcIDE.---T New
York World of Friday says: A man
named Michael bingham, living on Clin-
ton street, Elizabeth, New Jersey, murder
ed his mother, Mrs. Mary bingham, at
11.s0 o'clock yesterday forenoon. The
murdered woman was the wife of John
bingham, who is employed at the Cordage
works in Elizabeth, and was sixty years of
age, having five grown up children, one of
whom, daughter, lives at home. Jeal-
ousy on account of the sister of the mur-
derer is said to have led to the terrible
deed. Michael deliberately shot his moth
er, the ball entering her right eye and
coming out at the back of her head, after
which he speedily made his escape. The
murderer is man of about thirty years,
and has wife, and son seven years of
age The police of the different cities
have been notified of the murder and fur
nished with description of the perpetra-
tor, and he will probably soon be appre-
hended. The excitement in Elizabeth is
intense, and threats are fercely made
against the murderer should he be cap
tured.
