Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, Va, June 12.--One OF the most
melancholy and shocking occurrences that
ever startled our sister city across the river
(Portsmouth) happened this afternoon
about 2 o'clock, which causes almost uni
versal sorrow, and plunges q large and
hitherto happy family into the very depths
OF agonizing misery.
Mr.. John Owens, a very respectable and
popular merchant Of the Newtown section
OF the town, doing business on Fourth
street, in moment Of drunken frenzy as
saulted his youngest son, Robert Owens,
with a butcher-kuife. and struck him a
blow that caused his death in ten minutes,
the blade penetrating the left side just I'M.
der the ribs, .seyering an important artery.
He then attempted to commit suicide. The
father was arrested and committed to Jail
at once. y
Young Owens was just twenty-one years
OF age, full of promise, and consistent
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr. John Owens represents the Fourth
Ward in the City Council and on the
Board Of Health, and is otherw ise popular.
He had been on spree since election-day. 1
Earlier in the day another serious affair
occurred in Portsmouth. An injured hus-
band-Dayid Webb-made desperate at
tempt to kill his wife's paramour, named
James Eagan. Webb discharged three
chambers of his revolver at Bagan, two
f'1sfiots taking effect, and one entering the
left side between two ribs and burYing it
self inextricably. He lies in very critical
condition, and his life is despaired OF.
Webb was arrested and committed to Jail.
A Swedish painter named A. j. johnson
made all unsuccessful attempt this morning
to publicly destroy his lie on Main street
by blowing himself up with an Internal ma.
chine. The police interfered before the
explosion could be effected, and the Swede
was taken to Jail.

Death Of william Cullen Bryant.

NEW YORK, June 12.-At 3 O'Clock this
morning a sudden change for the worse
came over Mr.. Bryant, and his breathing
became heavy and stertorous. His daugh-
ter, Miss Bryant, and his granddaughter,
Miss Goodwin, Mr.. John Fl. Graham, and his
physicians, were at once summoned to his
bedside, and remained with him to the last.
He passed away peacefully, and evidently
suffered but little pain. He has been I'M
conscious ever since the day OF the accident
which caused his death, except for few
moments, when he would evince signs OF
returning consciousness, and would count
one. two, three, four, and so on, slowly, as
il testing his memory.

Johnston bill proposed over four thou
sand miles, Of railway, radiating Ike the
Ioutspread folds Of q fan; and all this to
be done by means OF direct subsidy from

1t declares that such blu could not have
commanded ten votes in the Senate. In In
deed, / doubt IL 1t would have received one
more than Senator Joiinston's own vote,
@. Has not Senator Johnston been ac-
counted supporter of the Texas and Pa.
cific !? ri.
A. Certainly and 1 doubt not that he
will come ultimately to its support. 1t Ia
incredible that he can be long kept In the
dark as to the personal influences that have
made him unconsciously the agent OF Hunt
ington's policy Of delaying the construction
Of the lower trans-continentai line. Be-
sides, the South is rallyiDg very rapidly to
our support, and we shall not be disap-
pointed in our hope OF having solid South
next winter. Senator Johnston will hardly
remain In his present isolated situation.
