THE WOUND.
The gun was loaded with one drachm OF
powder, an ounce OF shot, and the usual
wadding. An examination showed that
the muzzle Of the gun had rested against
his watch, . heavy silver one. The ch srge
struck the watch, bent it nearly double and
smashed the works to atoms. 1t thea glanc-
ed off and entered the right side passing

and mutiliating the lower part Of the liver,
the intestines and liver protruding from the
wound. But for the watch the charge wo'd
probably have passed upwards into the
heart aud death would have been ipstan tan.
eous.
THE CAUSE.
The cause OF the shooting appears to be
troubles of q domestic character, which led
the unfortunate man to drinking. The
neiehbors state that he had not spoken to
her for three weeks previous to the trogedy,
and during that time had been drinking
hard, frequently threatening to kill bis wife
BY shooting. She is represented as being
quiet, inoffsnsive woman.
Mr.. Reynolds informs us that Burke was
as good workman as he ever ad in bis
employ, and be had never known Of bis be-
ing on spree with one exception.
Deceased was about "a years ofage, and
leaves wife and three children to mourn
bis untimely end.
An inquest is being held this afternoon
by Justice Reynolds.

ULL PARTICULARS OF THE TRAG-
EDY!

Between and s O'Clock last evening, our
citizons were startled by rumor to the eff
feet that man had shot and killed himself,
on the Pearson Farm. At frst the report
was discredited, but in q short time q per-
son rode into town on horseback at q rapid
rate anxiously inquiring for physician to
attend Richard Burke. who the man stated
bad shot himself and was 10 dying condi-
ton, and then the rumor became o painful
certainty. AS near as we can learn 10 the ex.
element prevalent on the Farm, the particu.
lars OF this terrible tragedy are as follows:
Richard Burke, the victim Of self destruc.
tion, is au engineer 10 the employ of the
Western Pennsylvania Oil Company, OF
which Mr. John Reynolds is Superintendent
and in whose employ he had been since last
October. engaged in running the morning
tour. Yesterday afternoon he came to town
with two or three residents of the farm, but
soon left them and went TO Smiths Saloon,
with whom it appears he had some business
in regard to buying some oil property at
some point down the Creek. While in the
saloon be drank two or three glasses Of ale
or lager. Leaving there be went into other
saloons and drank several glasses of ale, and
1t is reported some whiskey, although this
is not positively known. About six O'Clock
in company with Mr.. Reynolds, and anoth-
er neighbor, be started up the rockingham
path towards home, couversing pleasantly
with them, neither one of whom took
particular notice that "Dick," as be was
familisrly called, was very much under the
influence Of liquor, nor bad the least idea Of
led, by which fellow being was to be hur-
ried into eternity by bis own hard.

THE TRAGEDY.

back door, he proceeded 10 bis engine
house aud secured double barrel shot gun
owned by Mr.. Brewster, and went out. AS
he had frequently be Ten in the habit OF TAX
ing the gun Tor the purpose oil shooting rab-
bits, Mr.. Brewster, who was on tour at the
time, took no notice Of this except to ask
bim which direction he was going or words
10 that effect. He made some reply in an
inaudible voice, and Immediately left, goin
in the direction Of bis own house. He en-
tered the houae, It seems, pointed the gun
at bis wife and threatened to shoot her. 1t
does bot appear be had any conversation or
quarrel with her at this time further than
making ths threat. Becoming slsi med, bis
wife with her babe 10 her arms, ran out Of
the house into the residence Of VIM. Lepper
the mex. door neighoor, going up stairs for
safety. Burke Immediately followed with
the gun in bis hand In threatening man
ner. Stepping 10 the door be pointed the
gun at his wife, who stood at the head of
the stairs, making the remark-''I am CO.
Ing TO shoot my wife" Mr. L. said "You
can do no such thing In my housed" aud af-
| ter short struggle, aided by q man named
Mcdowell, wrested the Implement of death
from his hands. After reasoning with him
. short time, singular as 1t may appear,
they gave him back the gun. He immedi.
ately went out to bis own house, sat down
on the porch, deliberately pulled off bis
boot, went round the house to the back end
Of the lot, rested the butt end OF the gun on
the ground and the muzzle against bis right
side, and with bis foot snapped the triggsrs
Of both barrels, neither OF which done any
damage except to crack the caps. Holding
the gun In bis hand, be ran into the house,
recspped the gun, ran out, placed the gun
10 the same position, pulled the trigger with
bis foot In an instant, dissharging the con.
tents Of the loaded barrel, this time with
fatal effect, into his right side, indicting .
terrible and ghasty wound. He immedis
ately cried out'in his agony, calling on God,
for his mother, wife and children. He then
staggered towards the house q short dis
tance and fell to the ground from exhaust.
ion and loss of blood. He was picked up
by Messrs. Reynolds, Brewster, and another
neighbor, removed into the house and laid
on the lounge. Drs. ]. II. Christie and
Roslihg were called Immediately, and did
everything in their power to relieve him,
