THE NEW JERSEY HORROR.

A Coroner's inquest was held al
Hackettstown, New Jersey, on Mon
day, on the bodies of the two children
who were murdered by their father,
John Ritter, painter, on Saturday
last. The testimony developed the
fact that nitter had been out of en-
ployment for some time past, owing
to the dull times, and had been drink
ing SO heavily of late that his brain
became crazed. For years past, it
seems, he and his wife have not lived
happily together, in consequence of
his vicious disposition, rendered
worse by excessive drink. Until
recently they had been living separ-
ate, but not long since they came to
an understanding, and once more
Joined their fortunes. They had
scarcely we'll settled down, however,
when Ritter took to his old ways, and
led a most dissipated life. The fam
lily lived in house on the outskirts
the town. On Saturday morning,
while still oppressed with the effects
of violent spree, Ritter had fierce
quarrel with his wife, which ended
in her abruptly leaving the house.
She had not gone far when she heard
two pistol shots. Losing all fear for
herself she returned toward the honest
and then terrible sight met her
eyes. Her two sons, bright boys,
aged respectively four and seven
years, lay welteriug in their blood.
The brutal father had deliberately
shot both. While the distracted
mother gazed on the PROSTATE forms
of her darlings Ritter leveled his reA
volver at her and fired, but luckily
missed his aim, and then the woman
fled. Ritter next shot himself in the
head, but his attempt proved unsuc>
cess.ful. His wound is serious, but
not dangerous. One of the boys
died instantly, and the other linger-
ed till evening, in great pain. The
tragedy created the widest excite
ment in the country around, and but
for the fact that the murderer had
been arrested and was in the custody
of the authorities he would possibly
have been lynched. After hearing
the evidence the jury, being out for
deliberation only a short time, re-
turned with verdict charging Ritr
ter with being guilty of wilfulmurder.

THE most notorious countertelter
known in the business since the in
generation of Tom Ballad, has been
arrested by Chief Washburne, of the
secret service force of the Treasury
Department. The name of the
criminal is Ben. Boyd, and well
known in detective circles, and for
whom unsuccessful search has been
made for the past ten years. He
was arrested at Fulton, ILL.,, a small
town on the Mississippi river. When
the officers came upon him he was
in company with two notorious asso
ciates named Nelson briggs and
Charles Stadtfelt. The latter fled
and cut across the country. They
were chased eight miles on horseback
by Chief Washburne, and did not
halt until several shots had been
fired at them. Boyd is the man who
has been supplying the whole coun-
try with the "qaeer." He cut the
plate from which the most dangerous
counterfeit, the $1,000 bill on the
Trader Bank of Chicago, was prin
ted. In addition to securing his ar
rest, the officers became possessed Of
all the tools and materials with which
he worked. They ascertainod that
his mill was at Bentrelia, Ill, small
town on the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad. Proceeding there they
found in Boyd's house plates for the
printing of $50, $500 and 81 900
notes. These have been taken pos
session of by the officers. The ar
rest is considered as one that will
tend largely to break up the coun-
terfeiting business, because Boyd
was the most skilful plate printer
known, and it will be hard to supply
his place to the trade who operate
in spurious money.

WHAT ALLIED THE BUTTER.

Jones seems doomed to have
trouble with his boarding house.
The other morning he went down to
break fast in a fine humor and
thought he would have some fun with
the landlady. While all the board>
ers were plastering their hot cakes
with butter, Jones called out from
his end of the table to the solemn
man next to the landlady's end Of
the board
"Mr. Rhodes, be so kind as to re-
quest that butter to amble in this
direction !"
Several parties smiled and the
landlady cast threatening look at
Jones, but he acted as though he
didn't see it and soon remarked:
"lf | was as strong as that butter
I'd hire out to circus and travel
around, having big pictures in ten
colors stuck up on fences and dead
walls, showing me off as THE Man
with the Iron Jaw holdin' up black
tea boxes marked 80 lbs in white
paint ~
"Mr. JONES'" sharply demanded
the landlady, "was it you that went
stumbling up stairs at one o'clock this
morning, singing, dat was gooter
larger beer or something of the
sort 2"
Jones protested that he was in bed
at nine o'clock in the evening, and
sober as Judge. A painful silence
ensued, which Jones soon disturbed :
"If furnished the help around
this house I'd hire real, sgenuine live
Comanche Indians y
"Mr. Jones !" exclaimed the land
lady, vehemently, "what do you
mean by such outrageous conduct "
"Beg pardon, nam, but you don't
comprehend; the Indians would be
right handy to scalp the hair off the
butter before break"
Five men lodged in hurry as the
pewter sugar bowl went whizzing at
Jones' head, while that individual
