Ho+ Wave

The weather broke out hot Saturday and kept it up yesterday with a vengeance. Sweltering humanity everywhere was per spiring. Saturday the thermometer ran up to 900 in the shade, and yesterday at Gessner $ Co., g it marked 85o in the rear part of the store at 2 o'clock, while outside under the awnings it marked 9O0 The churches were mostly reopened yesterday and many.ef the people who had been away were back again,
 but the sun poured down with such willing fierceness as to keep many at home. The torrid heat made livery teams in demand, and hundreds thus escaped to the east and west shores. Down on the east shore there were throngs of people. Teams passed down Townsend avenue by the hundreds, and scores of sailing craft went laden with peo- pie en route to Lighthouse Point, Savin Rock and other places The number of visitors at the east shore yesterday was larger than any previous day this year. People in the city who did not go away sought the cooler spots to be found under their own vine and fig tree, and were unable to keep from swell tering. Even a thunder shower, despite the racket created on the previous Sunday, would have been welcome if change for the better in the atmosphere could have been assured. The streets in the city were deserted out of church hours during the heat of the sun, ex- cept now and then a pleasure or doctors team passed, and the hot weather was a sta pie topic of remark, with no division of sen timent on the subject.

Shocking Murder.

A Hartford Blacksmith Shoots His Wife and Then Gives Himself to the Police.
 Henry Kinghorn, 8 blacksmith, walked
 hurriedly into the Hartford police office Fri day evening and said he had shot his wife and
 had come to deliver himself up, and at the same time handed over the pistol with which
 he committed the shocking crime. He had
 been formerly well to do, but for several years
 had been drinking heavily. He threatened to take his wifes life about four weeks ago and carried a loaded pistol with him, but one of his sons got possession of the weapon and concealed it. Then the murderer bought another and commenced to drink hard. About 8 o'clock in the evening his wife was sitting at her sewing machine, engaged upon her work. In the room with her was Mrs. Dwyer,
 her assistant. Kinghorn suddenly opened the door and crossed the room to within two feet of where his wife sat, and calling her an unseemly name hastily drew his pistol, took aim and fired.
 Mrs. Kinghorn's head fell over backwards and from that moment she knew nothing more Mrs. Dwyer started and screamed at the horrid sight and the murderer turned to-
 ward her as if he would take her life also |; thinking better of this he left the house.
 Mrs. Dwyer's screams for help and the re-
 port of the pistol brought the neighbors has tily in and messenger was sent for Dr, George E. HawIey. When the doctor arriY-
 ed the woman still sat where she had been
 assailed. her head back on her shoulders and
 the blood running from a serious wound
 At once she was lifted up and carried into her bedroom, and the examination dis
 closed the fact that the bullet had struck her
 about an inch above the right ear and had passed through her skull and brain, fractur- ing the bone on the opposite side At once it was seen that all hopes of recovery were useless and at half past nine o'clock she ex- pired, one hour after the shooting. Soon af- ter nine o'clock Kinghorn appeared at the po- lice station, going there immediately after the shooting. He assigns jealousy as the motive for the murder, but that is improba-
 ble, the murdered woman being over fifty years of age and bearing an excellent name. Another reason given was her persistent re- fusal to deed back small property he made over to her few years ago. Kinghorn is of a morose and ugly temperament, which was rendered worse by drink. The wife, as shown at the inquest, had been i'll treated for years, but bore his abuse patiently partly for sake of the children, who are four in number, two grown to maturity and two twelve or fourteen years old.

Annual Excursion of Employees.
 On Saturday James Graham & Co.,, for merly Graham & Corey, the brass founders and manufacturers of car trimmings, whose fac tory is on Wooster street, gave their force of employees pleasure trip and dinner, accord ing to annual custom-the firm having an nually served their employees in this fashion for five or six years past, as we learn from the hands, who cannot speak enough in praise of their kind employers. After vain en- deavor to charter steam tug, all the tugs being busy, the yacht Starlight, of M. Whites, was secured, and with Captain Hughes of East Haven in charge, the party embarked at about ' a. m. There was good boat load, including several guests, and on board was volunteer musical corps and glee club, both composed of members of the force of employees, who were "heard from" all along on the trip. They had snare drum, fife, clarionet and guitar. The boat was armed with fishing tackle in abun- dance for raid on the blackfish at New Reef and also was supplied in the commodious cabin with a commissary department stocked with everything necessary for good dinner. Also an ice tank for 8 supply of ice water. The wind didn't brace up at all after the party were off in the Sound, and it died away so that it was deemed impracticahle to go to New Reef, and beside fishing with srlch lurid, blazing, copper bottome5 sun over head wasn't the greatest of temptations. So the jolly party cruised and sailed, and at noon when off East Haven, about two miles out in the Sound, the dinner call was sounded, and all hands fell to with. 8 relish in an attack upon the bountiful spread, and soon made havoc with it, although obliged to surrender at last, the supply holding out ut ter1y beyond their power to demolish. After more cruising and enjoyment of the sights on shore and Sound, the party made lighthouse dock-as they approached the drum corps making the welkin ring-where they lay by and took look at the shore, and Mir. Gra- ham essayed bluefshing, in which he is an expert, one of the guests, MT. Babcock, man ufacturer of carriage hardware on Greene street, sitting by to keep count, but the fish did not care for bait. The party arrived home an hour or two later, having had fine time and passing rousing vote of thanks to the Messrs. Graham.

The Hebrew New Year.

Interesting Services at the Court Street Synagogue Yesterday Evening-The Temple Yet Unfinished.
 The Jewish new year began at sundown yesterday. The year, according to the He- brew calendar, commenced this year earlier than usual. It was the intention to have the improvements on the Court street synagogue completed before the commencement of the new year, but this was found impracticable, and so the services will be held with the tenn pie in an incomplete condition. The new windows are yet to be put in, and the large organ being built by Johnson & Co.,, of Pitts field, Mass, will not be completed for some weeks. When finished it will be placed in the recess prepared for it back of the altar, where also will be the choir gallery. What was formerly the choir gallery has been filled with pews giving much more seating capacity than formerly.
 The opening new year services last even- ing were of an interesting character. The temple was filled to it's utmost capacity. The recess intended for the organ loft had been temporarily fitted up for the choir and large parlor organ provided, which was pre- sided over by the new organist, MT. Frank Guion. The quartette choir is composed of Miss Feughwinger, soprano Miss Turner, alto; Mir. Feist, tenor, and MT. Bush, basso. There is also chorus choir. The selections were very elaborate and the singing and music of high order. Rev. Dr. Kleeberg preached very appropriate discourse in German, relating particularly to the com mencement of the new year and the histori- cal facts in Old Testament history that it was designed to commemorate.
 services will be held in the temple this morning at 9:3O o'clock, and also on the Day of Atonement, Wednesday, the 18th inst.
