MURDERrAND SUICIDE.

MantuA, April l9.-on Thursday tragedy most
horrible and sickening In Ia detailB was enRcted
In Troy, Geauga county, some thiIty.hve miles
from Cleveland and seven miles from Mantua
on the Atlantic q Great Western Railroad. A
man by the name Of Leonard Stroud came from
the east TO Troy some time ago. and settled here
on some land which he purchased. He was liv.
ing with his third wife, and in q short time had
the reputation Of being one Of the worst ChaIac
terB in this section. Last winter separation was
agreed upon between himself and his wife, and
after renting one.half Of bis land to a neighbor,
and leaving his wife in possession Of the other
half he went 10 Cleveland and took up Ills resi-
dence with a married daughter living there,
Thursday morning he announced his intention
ofgoing To Troy for day or two in order to settle
some business Of an unimportant nature, and &C.
cordingly departed On reaching Troy he re-
paired to the office Of Justice Of the Peace,
where some suits Of minor importance were en-.
tered against him. Here he met q son Of bis wife
by her first marriage and after settling his bust
ness at the office he started for the residence Of
his wife, In buggy, the son following on foot.
Arriving at the gate he called to his wife and re-
quested her TO get him something 10 eat. He re-
fused to enter and remained standing at the gate
while his wife proceeded to comply with his re.
quest. On returning to where he stood, she was
in the act Of handing him some articles Of food
when he suddenly drew a large size butcher
knife and stabbed her three times In quick sue
cession, the first blow taking effect In the hand
and the latter two in the abdomen, making "a
tai wound. She fell to the ground, when he i'm.
mediately cut deep cash in his own throat sew
ering the Windpipe and causing him TO fall to the
ground In half conscious condition. He re-
vived in moment and taking pocket knife
from his pocket stabbed himself again, from the
effects Of which he died In a short time. The
neighborhood was soon aroused and the woman
was taken to the house and everything possible
done to save her life. She was alive at last &C.
counts this morning. although II is thought she
cannot possibly recover. Strouds body was taken
to the town hall and the coroner sent for. Stroud
was man between so and 60 years of age of a
quarrelsome disposition and generally disliked In
the neighborhood where he lived. All the facts
connected with the dreadful affair 60 to show
that the deed was premeditated, and 1t is as de.
liberate piece Of bloody work as has ever been
committed in this section. Qhe excitementin the
immediate neighborhood Of Troy has reached
the highest pitch.

A RIDE TO DEATH.

New York, April 1S.-John Strickland, Bar
NUNS chief hostler, had an exciting and swift
ride to death this morning. He was exercising a
splendid six.horse team, driving behind them a
heavy baggage wagon. As he was going along
Forty. second street, passing under the elevated
railway on Ninth avenue, a train frightened the
horses and they dashed away, Strickland dis.
played great courage, guiding, though he could
not control the fiery team. Across Eighth, Sew.
enth, Sixth, Fifth and Madison avenue, with
their horse car and stage lines and crowds Of
wagons, he shot in safety. It was an exciting
scene. All who witnessed it expected that even
If Sixth Fifth and Madison avenues were crossed
without collision with one Of the horse cars or
omnibuses, surely an accident would occur as
soon as the wagon reached the eastern side Of
Fourth avenue, where, at the terminus Of three
horse railway lines, the cars form an almost
permanent baTricade of Forty second street. The
head wheels caught in frog on a Fourth avenue
railroad track and broke the axle, Strickland
still retaining his seat, but in passing the Grand
Central Depot, the forward axle was broken, and
he was thrown on the ground, his head striking
the rails dashing out his brains. Strickland was
held in high regard by Barnum ss he was al.
ways sober and reliable, and perfectly competent
for the position he filed. He was for many years
boss hoster for Lent and for the three years pre-
vious to the present month was in the service of
Queen. He leaves widow, for whom 1t is Bar
NUNS intention to make adequate provision.

THE DISPATCH OF ENGLISH
TROOPS TO MALTA.

London, April 1S.-The Press Association re-
ports that the British Government chartered IF
teen steamers to convey troops from India. The
charters are made out with the option of Port
Said. Alexandria, or Malta In city circles, II is
rumored the Government entertains the idea of
landing trcops at the two former places and oc-
cupying Egypt pntl the conference meets or
some satisfactory solution is arrived at.
The dispatch of the troops from India to NAL
ia is the leading topic of political discussion
The supporters Of the Government regard 1t as
only a natural accompaniment of other precau-
tiOnaTy measures and not indicative of belliger'
ent indications. The opponents of the Govern.
ment regard it as another step in the develop
ment of warlike policy. The opinion is ex.
pressed that this is one Of the determinations of
the Cabinet Lord Derby referred to in his re-
marks in the House of Lords on the 9th inst. as
inducing his resignation of the Foreign secreta
ryship.

RUSSIA.
ssrlou, Whilst Riots at Moscow.

London, April lS.-There have been Nihilibt RI
ots in the streets Of Moscow the nature and ex-
tent Of which 1t is impossible to determine from
official reports. The alleged occasion was the ar.
rival Of fifteen students from the University Of
Kieff, going into exile, whom the crowd sur.
rounded crying, These men suffer for the truth"
An official account says: Acts Of violence en-
sued. The students were conveyed to prison
pending their dispatch to Siberia, and tranquility
was restored"
Private information, however, attributes the
disturbances to excitement growing out of the
trial Of the woman Vera Sassulitch for her at
tempted assassination of TrepoH, Chief of Police
at st. Petersburg. She admitted shooting NJ Tre-
poff, and said she fired without caring whether
she killed, wounded or missed him, but with a
determination to bring his conduct before the
public. She herself had spent the best years OF
her life In a dungeon because she was friend OF
a relative of a cOnspirator There she learned to
pity those who suffered in a similar manner
When she read in the newspapers that NJ Ire.
pOff had caused political prisoners TO be logged
she determined to do vengeance on him. This
was her whole defence. The speech Of the de-
fendanss counsel and the verdict Of aCquittal,
despite the Judges charge evoked such expires.
sions Of applause from the press and people that
1t is believed that the Government will modify
the present system of trials for political offences
The outbreaks at st. Petersburg, Moscow and
Kieff which followed the news OF the woman's
trial are said to have been so serious as 10 give
rise to reports in Berlin that revolution had
broken out The Berlin Post commenting on this
news says Russia is threatened with serious
dangers. The lesson the trial of Vera sassulitch
affords will be fatal If disregarded."

ANOTHER DEFAULTING MILL
TREASURER.

Fall River Mass, April 22.-since the defalca
ton of Chase, the Treasurer of the Union Mills,
considerable uneasiness has been felt about the
solvency of the Border City and Sycamore mills,
Of which George T, Hathaway is Treasurer This
uneasness eliminated In protest of the corpor.
ations paper at Providence last week, which then
was attributed to an oversight of the Treasurer,
but since that time these notes have been permit.
ted to remain unpaid. In consequence Of this
fact, the Directors n ade an imperative demand
upon Hathaway for an immediate statement of
affairs. The latter has been busily at work upon
the statement, and to-day 1t was submitted to the
Directors, but no official intimation Of ttS con-
tents has been made public. 1t is said however,
that affairs are terribly Mixed and that Treasu-
rer Hathaway is heavy defaulter to both mills.
An expert has beeu put upon the books and the
statement will be given as early as possible Sew
eral Directors of the Border City and Sycamore
Mills were also Directors of the Union Mills, and
the affairs of these corporations are closely allied

CoLUMBIAEA Co.-Lsst Saturday night Frank
Gilbert, formerly brakeman on the P. Ft W. &
G. R, R., while on visit to his wife near Kensing
ton, was assaulted by James Anderson, father of
the woman and received full charge Of shot in
the right shoulder. 1t appears that owing to some
domestic trouble, a separation had taken place
between the husband and wife last fall who at
that time were living in Wellsvile, and she had
returned to her parents, Gilbert evidently desir
ing reconciliation, and being forbidden the
house, called at neighbor's last Saturday even
ing and sent for his wife. She had not been in
his company long until the father appeared up
on the scene with shot gun and deliberately de-
posted the contents as stated above. The unfor.
tunste young man was taken TO Hanover, where
he received proper surgical attention. No arrest
was made. Gilbert expressed 3 willingness 10
drop the matter, providing he be allowed to re.
claim his wife,
