A japauese Tragedy,

A dreadful quadruple murder at Kobe,
the scene Of the crime being not more
than a couple of hundred yards of the
Saibansho, is recorded by the Japan
Herald. The victims are Mr.. Yamada,
his wife and two children, one aged two
years, and the other an infant twenty
one days old, who were oil butchered
in their sleeping apartment, room
about nine feet square. Mr.. Yamada
was well known and generally liked in
Kobe. He received Il severe cut under
the left ear, seyering the iugular vein,
several slashes otthis chest and stomach,
and his back was literally hacked to
pieces, his spine being cut through in
eight or nine places From the appear
ance of his wounds it would seem he
struggled with his assailant, and was
set upon by another from behind. His
wife with an infant ~ DAYS old in her
arms, had her right arm severed, and
her left wrist cut badly, frightful
cash from her forehead to her chin, cut
ting out one eye, and cutting her head
in half, and slash that laid open her
left shoulder and fractured her spine.
Her baby, apparently, was smothered
10y her falling upon It, as the only
wound it has isa small cut on one of its
toes. The other child, little boy, had
his head entirely severed from his body,
and his right hand cut through the
middle, cutting off the thumb also: the
left hand had the first two fingers cut
of. What the motives Of the murderefs
were will probably never come to light,
unless the miscreants are caught and
confess, as the clothes of the murdered
persons seem to have been overhauled
only. The assault must have been sud-
den and the strife of short duration, as
the inmates of the houses adjoining on
either side appear not TO have heard
anything of an unusual nature. Many
Europeans employed on the railway also
live within stones throw, and heard
nothing of the affair until noon.
