MURDER.
The Sicilian and the Knife
F" Act and Be Silent"

At ten minutes past 8 o'clock Sunday night
man who gave his name as Joseph Albro,
Sicilian by birth, and about 45 years Of age
was conveyed to the Charity Hospital, from
the corner OF st. Philip and Levee streets, il,
dying condition. Upon an examination be-
ing held, it was found that he had been
stabbed with stiletto in the left side Of the
abdomen, inficting fearful cash.
His sufferings were intense, and though able
to speak little, when questioned and asked
who committed the deed he was silent, and
when he spoke gave only vague and indefinite
answers. As the hands on the dial Of the old
clock pointed to the half hour after II o'clock
he breathed his last, and another soul unpre-
pared went before the Great Judge Of all things
to answer for his deeds upon this earth.
Yesterday, a BULLETIN reporter repaired
to the spot where the mans body was first
discovered, and after interviewing numerous
parties he elected some statements which,
however, were so conflicting that in giving them
We would be throwing but little light upon a
murder, the true particulars of which will
never be sifted to the bottom, for it is well
known that the motto of the Sicilian is 'sact
and be silent
Upon suspicion, the following parties were,
however, arrested and locked up in the Third
Precinct Station: Thomas Arthur, Paul Ven
nuto, Salvador Don Paul, Joseph Reltuto,
Chacha Theodore, Ann Vennuto, Maria De
)arra and Catarina Calesso

SUICIDE.
Henry Tim Hangs Himself.

On Sunday evening, some time between the
hours Of and o'clock, Henry Tim, an old
cited, committed suicide at the house No. 23
Frenchmen street.
Tim was we'll connected, well known, and
about 6S years Of age. He was by trade a
brickmason, but retired from business some
eight years ago.
The house in which the deed was commit
ted was occupied by Mrs. White, from whom
Tim rented two rooms
On Sunday evening Mrs. White left the
house somewhere near 5 o'clock, and when
she returned at P. NJ, she found the de-
ceased hanging in the doorway of his room,
dead.
in which the fatal act was carried out was as
follows: A staple had been screwed into the
centre of the doorway, which was about seven
and half feet high; to this rope and ordi-
nary clothes line had been attached, with a
slip loop at the other, and through which Tim
placed his neck-to all appearances standing
on chair, from which he jumped
The fall evidently
BROKE HIS NECK,
as there were no indications Of strangulation
or of any struggle. His hands were not tied
and his feet were within six inches of the floor
There is no
assigned for the deed, except general depres-
sion of spirits, based undoubtedly on the
death Of his wife, which occurred on the day
OF the month on which the deed was com
mitted eight years ago.

Too Old a Bird.

Mrs. Samuel B. Murdoch, she called her.
self. visited Hon. Fernando Wood during the
last session Of Congress. The woman pre-
scented Introductory and other letters from
some Of the Congressman's constituents re-
commencing her as a good person for place,
and asking the Representative to exert his in
fuence III her behalf. He Immediately went
to work, and soon secured the applicant a
situation III one of the departments A few
days before Congress adjourned this woman
and man whom she introduced as Mr. Sam
uel Murdoch, her husband, called upon Mr..
Wood and asked for place for said husband
The Congressman dismissed his visitors
/ without giving them any satisfaction or en-
couragement. Mr.. Wood did not like Muir
docks buffer-cut, and doubted that he was
the husband of the woman. The woman
paid the honorable gentleman another visit at
his house and stayed half an hour He was
not left long in doubt as to the intentions and
character Of the couple. The next day the
man presented himself suddenly in Wood
apartment without going through the prelimi-
nares OF announcement He showed a
drawn and cooked revolver in his hand, a
streak OF badness in his eyes, and remarked
that situation or sum of money could
only appease his rage and salve his wounded
honor Murdoch asserted that his wife had
been outraged by the Congressman, and that
he had better settle quietly and civillv.
Wood was Of different opinion, and kicked
the interloper into the street, seriously wound
ing his honor in another place. The next
device was a threatening letter Offering
terms; and then the police were put on the
track Of the man with the wounded honor
They found him and put him under the ad-
dltlonal disgrace of arrest. There are now
two indictments pending against Murdoch.
and he is not so badly in want of place as he
was. 1t has been ascertained that no connu-
bal relations exist between Murdoch and the
woman they are simply professional black
mallers in partnership. They evidently did
not exhibit much adrotness in selecting their
prey, but would have stood better chances of
success with some country Congressman than
with any man in Fernando Woods district in
New York.
The idea of constructing submarine tun-
mel between England and France has not been
abandoned. The Minister Of Public Works
10 France has appointed a special commits
SION, composed of engineers, to examine and
report upon the inquiries already made into
the scheme in question. The direct distance
between the two countries is little more than
twenty miles, but the transit by steamer or
'ailing vessel is tedious and unpleasant to
iegree. Seasoned travellers, who have crossed
he Atlantic without qualm, usually have to |
submit to the terrible sea-sickness in crossing |
rom Dover to Calais, or from Folkstone to |
boulogne. Were a submarine tunnel con-
tructed the number Of passengers would
probably be twenty times as numerous as at
present. The cost would probably not ex-
eed twenty to twenty-five millions Of dollars,
small outlay for such a great convenience
nd advantage.

The high price of ice in Northern cities, OF
the threatened high price of that commodity,
has given rise to school Of philosophers who
believe that the use Of iced drinks of any kind
IS injurious to health, and that it is delusion
to suppose that you feel any better after you
have drank of ice water than before. The i'm
moderate use Of ice water is admittedly inju-
rlous, and the new philosophers shrewdly
chnch their argument against its moderate use
by showing that it begets thirst which con-
stantly demands more. Perspiring humanity
will be slow to come to this belief, or, at least,
to act on it, and yet it is consoling philoso-
ply for those who cannot get any ice. Some
thing more useful to them than a theory, how
ever, will be the knowledge that common
flower pot inverted over plate of butter and
covered with several layers of wet cloths, will
keep the butter from melting and preserve it
in more or less solid form
