houses have established themselves for the pres

a stock ready for exhibition and sale Saturday.

News From New York.

New York, 49, A terrible tragedy was en-
acted to-day at No. AZ Pine street, just out.
side the office OF Judge Switzerland on tie
81 floor. The victim Of the crime was Am
brose +. ONiel an employee of the Erie
Railroad, the assassin, Jas. c. King, a law
yer OF li0 f .st 18th street. Kings wife has
sued tor "a divorce, and ex-Judge Sutherland
Unsupported a referee, and to-day there
was hearing. King was present and heard
ONlel give his testimony rs to the brutal
manner in which King treated his wife. The
evidence appeared to anger King very much.
and just As y Mel was finishing his testimony
King went out and remained in wait tor him
on the landing outside. When O'Niel came
King, without SAYING word, presented
pistol at hun and fired three shots in quick
succession. One of the shots missed, but
the Others took effect in the left breast near
the heart. O'Niel expired Immediately.
Judge Southealand rushed out of his office %
hearin the shots, and was met by King, who
handed him the pistol with which he fired the
fatal shots. The assassin was promptly arrest
ed. As soon as the tragedy became known
the most intense excitement prevailed, and
both AZ Pine street and the station house
was beseieed by hundreds of people who
threatened to lynch the murderer, and it was
with the utmost difficulty that he was taken
to prison. Both the deceased and the prison
er are said to be wealthy. The police have
secured five witnesses including the one who
witnessed the shooting cd the stairway. King
is said to have killed a man in the Sandwich
Islands some time ago, and attempted the life
of a respectable citizen Of San Francisco at .
later date.

mighty foolish venture, and we concluded, in

Quite sensation was created in HallOwell
Saturday AFTERNOON, by report that three
well known and highly respected citizens of
that city, who started Thursday for the ''hub"
had, after their arrival at that city, been ar
rested by the police and locked up, 1t was
generally supposed by their friends in Halo
well, that they had attempted to run the guard
to get on the burnt district, or perhaps had
been caught in some youthful indiscretion for
which they must pay the penalty. All of
these things put together Of course aroused
the deepest feelings Of sympathy among their
friends in Hallowell. Consequently a petit
zion was started, addressed to his honor the
Mayor, and signed by several prominent per-
sons, to call a meeting of the citizens OF Hal
lowell, that some action might be taken to in
tercede with the city government of Boston
for their immediate release, by reason of their
previous good conduct as citizens of ilallow-
ell There was no lack of strong friends who
were willing to help them in their present
troubles with their influence, and purses IT
needed but upon the arrival of the evening
train all uOuDtS III Ees"fu W '"o "a t"eh' "e'S
set ut rest by their sudden as we'll as unex-
pected arrival, .adder if not wiser men; but
one of the number is still missing. Now the
two who are safe At home say it is all joke,
but cannot give any account of their missing
friend. So the good citizens OF Hallowell are
still in doubt about him, but are willing to
wait time, hoping he will turn out all right
in the end. Out Of respect to the feelings Of
our friends who may have been unfortunate,
we withhold their names.
