4 David Robinson went to Kokomo, Ind, on
Tuesday, and bought new suit OF clothes
and revolver, after which he went home showed
the purchases to his family, and ate his supper
Robinson WAS in good humor, and appeared
perfectly sane. He remarked to his wife that
it would have been well if little Dan
(his SOM had died two weeks ago, and said he
had attempted to kill the child. He then drew
his revolver and fred at second son, who was
crying in bed, and then turned and shot at his
wife. Mrs. Robinson ran out of the house, and
the Oldest boy, eight years Of age, started TO
follow, when his father shot him in the face, but
the ball glanced of without wounding him badly
The father then struck him on the back OF the
head with chair, but the son succeeded in get
ting out with his mother. Robinson then dehb-
erately took a razor, approached the bed, in
which lay his only daughter seized and cut her
throat from ear TO car. He followed this muir
der by taking the life Of the SOD,

Berlin dispatch of the 22i, saying tho depres-
sion OF trade is felt so keenly by tho industrial
classes that the government has been requested

The Moody ana sAnkey work.

The revival in Brooklyn lhas lost none of the
interest which first conferred in it, and the cler-
gymen of that city say lthe sincere earnestness
of the persons present at the meetings is con-
tinually deepening. The present week Is re-
garded AS the thorough test of that sincerity,
and the continued interest which has survived
the political contests and supported two and
three large meetings every day, is becoming pos
tive proof that the movement has deeper sup
port than curiosity and spasmodic excitement.
The evangeists said to a reporter yesterday thai
they are very much encouraged and are dissatis
fed in no way. They never in all their expert
ence, got further along in two weeks than they
have in Brooklyn.

the number present was smaller than usual, but
