"A Double Murder by Richmond
Man.

ST. LOUIS, August IA cold-bIooded
and most atrocious double murder was
committed here tonight. Thadd-us Baber,
a plumber, who keeps small shop corner
OF Sixth and Poplar streets, and who lives
with his family, consisting OF bis wife, q
little boy about seven years old, and the
wife's mother, an old German woman,
named Schondler, at S17 south Fourth
street, quarrellcd with his wife four or five
days ago, and left home about half-past
O'Clock tonight. He returned, stepped into
the house, and while his mother.in.law sat
reading and his wife was lying on the bed
lin the same room, he fired bullet into
Mrs. Schondler's brain, killing ber almost
instantly, and shot his wife through the left
breast, infIicting mortal wound. He then
let the house, but was arrested a few min
utes later and locked up. Mrs. Baber. who
was very weak from the effects OF the IN
jury she received, was extremely reticent,
and would give no particulars OF the affair
or tell what the quarrel between her and
her husband was about. She was sent to
the hospital. -"
Babcr has made statement since his ar-
rest to the effect that he formerly lived in
Richmond Va; that the young woman he
shot tonight is not bis wife, but he has
lived With ier.as such, off .and Dn, several
years; that he wished to marry her, but the
old woman (6er mother) would not consent;
that the old woman forced her daughter to
prostitute herself for money as source OF
revenue, and that she was vicious and vile !;
that when he left the house few days ago
it was in consequence Of quarrel with
Mrs. Schondler about her daughter, he
wishing to marry the latter, but the
old woman refusing to give her con-
sent; that he went TO the house tonight
under the impression and believing that
man was there with the daughter, and If SO
he wanted to know it; that when lie en-
tered the room in which the women were
Mrs. Schondler drew n pistol on bim and
he shot her; that he did not intend to shoot
the daughter, but after the first shot was
fred he heard noise in an adjoining room,
the door OF which opened, and thinking he
saw man he raised q pistol hastily to de-
fcnd himself, when it was discharged unin-
tentionally, the ball striking the young wo-
man in the breast, as above stated. he re.
grets this part OF the affair very much, but
rather gloricS over the killing OF the old
woman, and says he is willing to hans ior 1t.

Il New Theory as to Memphis.
d.. ~. A An,,nrinani 1


II has been ascertained pretty clearly
that portion of the ice supplied to the city
OF Memphis during the present summer
was gathered from Wolf river and GayoSc
bayou, which for the first time for many
wears were both frozen over during the in.
tense cold OF last winter. The GayoSo
bayou enpties into Wolf river, and as the
former is the common sewer and receptacle
of all the fifth OF the city sewerage the i'm.
pr1rities Of ice collected from such source
NAV be imagined. The fact that yellow.
fever gems are not destroyed by freezing,
and that ice only masks or conceals what II
does dot kill. leaving it free to revive under
the heat OF summcr, can no longer be
des,bted. What is more likely than that
the use ,ei this impure lee caused the
first cases Of yeIla&-iever this sum-
mer in the family Of Judge Rag, when ne
and his son, both men OF frugal habits
and personal cleanliness, Yell victims to It.
This is o very plausible theesy for the break
ing out of the disease in tfe most cleanly
and healthy portions OF the city, aud In the
largest hofses and, among the best people.
From these stating points there was no.
thing 10 prevent its extension to- all sec
tious, the prevailing filth and entire want OF
sewerage presenting a wide field for its raw
ages. The water-supply comes partly from
cfsterns, in which the rain-water from the
roofs is collected, and partly from Wolf
river, which empties into the Mississippi
river north of the city. The cistern-water
must be impure, from the fact that the
is constantly covered by decaying
animal and vegetable matter. The bydrant-
water comes from Wolf river at q point
1slf mile above where the Bayou Gayoso
,inpties the city nth into it. so that tue. cis-
ern. and bydrant.N'ater are about on aipar
s to purity.

A Shock to Boston.
FREMONT TEMPLE AND THE BIG ORGAN DE-
STROYED.

FREMONT TEMPLE AND THE BIG ORGAN DE-
STROYED.
BosToN, August IA fire broke out
about II O'Clock tonight in the rear part or
the roof of fremont Temple, situated on
Tremout street and adjoining the rear por-
ton of the Parker House. The flames got
pretty good headway before the arrival OF
the fire department, and before the engines
got fairly at work the roof was destroyed
and portion Of the walls on the side and
rear had fallen in, almost completely de-
stroying the building. The fine organ. near
which the fire broke out, is destroyed, and
the building is verythoroughly guttcd. The
blaze soon assumed the proportions OF an ex-
tensive coDflagration. and the proximity to
the Parker House, on School street, opposite
the City Hall, occasioncd general alarm
to the guests Of that hotel, nearly all OF
whom had retired. The building seemed
in imminent danger, and the guests made
hasty preparations for a change OF quarters.
Many Of them, not being willing to stand
the risk OF the hotel catching fire, promptly
left the house. while others quickly got
their baggage into the hall and corridors,
awaiting the moment when 1t would be
necessary to seek safer accommodations.
In about an hour, however, the fire was
we'll .Hnfer,e control. and beyond a slight
scorchng OF the walls in the rear portion
OF the hotel no material damage was done.
The loss on the Temple, which is owned by
the American Bible Society, is estimated at
from 100000 to S120,000. Several tremen
were injured by falling walls, hut it is
thought none were dangerously hurt. The
fire is believed 10 have originated from COM
bustion of gas.
