MURDER AND SUICIDE.

A Man Cuts His Wife in Thirteen Places and
4 Then Throws Himself into the River and Is
Drowned-W nisksy, Usual, tho Cause.
At quarter to one O'Clock yesterday afternoon
small boy ran up TO officer WO0lson. of the Nine
teenth precinct, who was on duty in Seventy-fOurth
street, and told him that q man named James
Powell, Irish labOrer, living In one Of the small
shantes the corner OF seventy third street and
avenue A, had murdered his wife with penknlfe.
woolson Immediately ran around 10 the place indi-
Gated and there, the front room OF the hut, found
the injured woman PROSTATE on the floor and bleed
ing mosl prolusely from no less than
THIRTEEN WOUNDS,
some OF which were OF a most horrible character.
She was not dead, as reported. but was neverthe
less in dying condition.
The officer at once sent word to the station house
to have an ambulance despatched to the scene. and
while waiting for the vehicle to arrive ascertaincd
the following facts In connection with the AFFAIR."
Dick Allen, who keeps a bath house at the foot OF
Fiftv-lourth street, and in whose place
MAN WAS SHOT
last summer Is IN some way related to Powell, and
OF whom he has been for long time jealous, 1t is
said he canned that Allen ana his (POwers) wife
were on terms Of improper intimacy. For several
months past Powell mas been ia the habit OF getting
drunk and Deatlpg his wife, BECAUSE Us he alleged OF
her iondness Tor Ine BAN house man. Last Sunday
he went home IN u state OF intoxcation and COM
menced the regular Sunday quarrel. Blows were
exchanged, and soon eacn party had knocked the
other down, when an officer was called In who ar
rested POWELL. whom he locked up In the
NINETEENTH PRECINCT STATION HOUSE,
and who was the next day held TO bail by Justice
BlxDy, at the Yorkvllle Police Court In the sum OF
$780, Last wednesday Powell went on another
drunk, winch ne kept up until yesterday, when ne
committed the deed above mentioned.
From all officer could ascertain II seems that
there was no one at the time OF the cutting
save Powell his wife, that after quarrellng for
some time, Powell seiZed the knife ana proceeded
to mutate his wife, which done he ran out into the
street. ran uOwn Seventy.thlr1 street 10 avenue A.
down avenue A TO Seven .y.first street, ana down
Seyenty-f.st street TO the East River. where ne de-
lberately jumped in and
WAS DROWNED.
Some OF the noighbors heard the woman's cries,
but not until Powell had left the house. and
although they followed him to the river they were
unable W come up with him In time TO prevent his
making the fatal plunge.
Mrs Powel was conveyed to Bellevue Hospital,
where her wounds were dressed and pronounced of
o iatal character.

SALT LAKE Juno 81, 1871.
The Tribune OF tomorrow morning will contain
proclamation issued by Hon. 0eDrge A. BLACK,
Secretary and Acsing Governor, forbiddiny oil mus.
ters parties or gathering Of the militia OF Titan, OF
OF armed persons within the Territory, except BY
the Governors orders or by order OF tine United
States Marshal In case posse comitatms II required
to enforce the order OF the courts. This proclama
ton has been issued In view OF certain orders
OF Daniel q. Wells calling himself Lieutenant Gene
raj. an Onlce not recognized by the government,
which orders out three companies OF infantry, 0ne
OF artillery and one OF calvary, ostcnsbly to partt-
cipate in the Mormon procession on the Fourth Of
July aft.r sql
Wells usurps power In ordering out the militia
since Governor Shalfer appointed General Common
commander OF the militia, and the assembling Of
troops Is IN direct violation OF the ord OF Governor
Shafrer which has never been c0untermanded.
The attempt Is made in order to maintain the or
ganizatlon OF the Nauvoo Legion outside Of con.
troll OF the Governor Of the Territory. Mr. Wolh
is Lieutenant General OF this legion but pretends
to order the troops Lieutenant General or tho
militia. Ii. b. ClawsOn, who signs the order as Adj
jutant General Is recognized by the government.
He dates his order from tue AdJutant Generals
office Of Utah Territory. Governor Shafer appointed
Colonel Johns Adjutant General, and no alone can
execute the duties OF the onlce.
1t Is generally believed that the Mormons will nos
attempt to carry out their scheme IN face OF the pro-
clamaton. Ifthey do, the laws Will be enforced and
trouble may ensue.
The Mormon press furiously assault Governor
Woods for representing to the President that they
were engaged with the California ring Ia &C.
tempting to remove he Judiciary and other officials
standing between them and the lines. They profess
DO toleraby well satisfied with the Judges though
they are eternaly abusing and vii flying them.
There is very general satisfaction at the stand
taken by President Grant concerning the Judiciary.
Their removal just now, on the demand, OF corrupe
and INSCRIPTIONS ring. would be extremely detrt-
mental to the best interests OF the country ana
would seriously weaken the authority Of the govern
ment.
General De Trobriand has relieved General Nor.
row as commander OF Camp Douglass.

How To Cook Reef Steal.

.
Beef steak is such a common article
of food that one would suppose every
woman adept in cooking it, yet such Is
far from being true. In fact, there are
but comparatively few who can cook a
steak properly. The following mode is
youched for and is worth trying: ~
Put frying pan over the stove till il
becomes quite hot. Have your steak
well pounded or mangled-a surloin
steak is very good Cor this purpose-lay
it on the hot, dry pan, and cover it in
stantly, as tightly as possible. When
the meat touches the heated pan it will
seethe and adhere to it, but, in few
minutes it Will become loosened and
juicy; turn the steak every half minute;
but be careful to do it as quickly as pos
sible, so that it may not be long iun-
covered. When nearly done, sprinkle
on pepper and salt, lay small piece of
butter on the steak, and add a table
spoonful of strong coffee. Or, if you
wish much gravy shake little flour
over the steak, when just done, pour
in three or four table spoonfuls of
cream, let it just boil up, under cover,
and when the meat is done take the
pan from the fire, remove the meat,
stir in quickly the well-beaten yolk OF
an egg, and serve hot. If cream is
used omit the coffee. Mutton or Lamb
may be cooked in the same way, only
they should be over the fire longer than
beef. ~
