TWO OLD LADIES MURDERED.

HARTFORD, Conn, May 31.-A double
murder was discovered in the town of
Avon, this morning The victims were
Mrs. Maria Avent and Mrs. Eliney Child
sey, aged widows, sisters who were liv-
ing on the old homestead. They were
in comfortable circumstances only, their
properties aggregating $4,000 or $15,-
900 largely invested in funds. They
were last seen alive Sunday morning,
and during the day the murder must
have been committed, as both bodies
were found dressed The corpse of Mrs
Chidsey was discovered stretched on the
kitchen floor in pool of blood, which
flowed from a ghastly wound on the top
of the head, which had split the skull
The AK with which the crime was COM
mitted was found covered, blade and ham
die alike, with blood. The body of Mrs.
Avent was discovered in the attic room,
where she had gone to rest and read,
and her bible and spectacles were lay
ing beside her, as though thrown aside
before taking nap. She was murdered
with tailor's goose, weighing dozen
pounds, which was found close by. The
object of the double murder is mystery,
and especially the object of the murder
er in going to the attic and killing a
sleeping woman, who could not have In
terferred with his movements down stairs.
The only theory now broached is that
the murderer sought to secure and des-
troy will recently made by these two
old women, and rumor has it that the
crime was instigated by a relative who
was unequally treated in the distribution
of the property. By the death ofthe two
sisters without making a will this rela-
tive would come in possession of one
third of their property, and this is the on
ly person having an interest who would
be like to instigate the terrible crime.
The mutilated fragments of wills were
found in the house.

Boss TWEED's COMPTROLLER CONNOLLY.
Richard B. Connolly, who died in Mar
seilles, France last month, aged 70, was
Boss Tweed's Comptroller, and his share
of the ring robberies was about $3,OOO,-
900. Connolly was never brought to trial.
Charles OConnor, acting for the State,
caused his arrest, and he was incarcerat-
ed in Ludlow Street Jail, although Mrs.
Connolly vainly offered $1,OOO,OOO in
United State bonds to secure his release.
1t was believed at this time that a good
part, if not all, ofthe stolen money could
be regained from the rogues, hence the
compromise of $1,000,00O was refused.
Connolly was kept in ludlow Street Jail
for over two months and was then releas-
ed on civil process. Soon after this he
sailed for Europe, accompanied by his
family. He lived for a time at Cairo and
then went to Switzerland. He had been
very careful to remain in countries with
which the United States has no extradi-
ton treaty, fearing that he would be
brought back to answer for his deeds.

Prince Gortschakof bid farewell to the
inhabitants of St. Petersburg in the fol-

eve of my departure in search of rest and

not, however, leave st. Petersburg with

proofs of their affectionate interest how
much and how deeply I have been touch

Psris has 366 miles of paved streets.
Stone blocks are used on 264 miles, maca.
dam on 80 miles, and asphalt on 19
miles. The macadam has been abandon
on account of the expense of maintaining
it in good order and the impossibility Of
keeping it free from mud or dust. The
cost in Paris for stone-block pavement
has been $3.50 the square yard, against
$3.50 for the asphalt. In Washington
the new stone block payements have cost
on an average only $l.90, and the asp
halt 1.47.

The clipper ship Wandering Jew,
which has made the passage between
Hong Kong and San Francisco in thirty
three days, the quickest run on record,
in February last, touched at Pitcairn s
Island, twenty-three days out from San
Francisco. The Pitcairns, it will be re-
membered, are descendants of the mutt
neers Of the English ship Bounty and
their Tahitian wives. They exchanged
hospitalities with the crew of the clipper
ship. The lady passenger were delighted
with their visit on shore, and brought
away many interesting presents. A pre-
sent of a barrel of beef, another of -four,
and third of bread, made the Pitcairns
happy, who, in return, gave generous
gifts of fruits and fowls.

many, after measuring $40 human hearts,
says that the growth Of that organ is great
est in the first and second years Of life.
At the end of the second year it is doubled
in size, and during the next five years
it is again doubled Then it's growth is
much slower, though from the fifteenth
to the twentieth year its size increases
two-thirds. A very slight growth is then
observed up to fifty, when it gradually
diminisbes. Except in childhood, mems
hearts are decidedly larger than those of

The marriage of Mdlle. Collette Dumas,
the daughter of the novelist, is certainly
a romantic one. Her father took her to
a fancy ball, her costume being in the
quaint fashion of the Directory. Her flu

at first sight upon that occasion that the
next day he demanded her hand from her
family.

Humming- birds are very skillful and

abodes: 'It was set upon the limb of a
tree the thickness of {man's thum, and
was coated with moss of an oak so as per-
fectly to represent knot. It was about
the size of hickory nut, an inch high,
and constructed of cotton and hair. It
contained two little white eggs about the
size of common snap beam"

e Two CHILDREN SUIUDE.-A special
dispatch from Petroleum Center, Pa,
says: Thomas Crowl, of Beaver county
was discharged with his regiment from
the United States service at the close of
the war, in 1865. He had served three
years in the army and participated in
most of the great battles, escaping with
out wound. While on the railroad on
the way home collision occurred. He
was killed. He left wife and two small
children. The widow subsequently mar
ried Jored Williams The stepfather was
abusive to the children. Three years

turned out of doors by him, after being
beaten She drowned herself in a stream

WHAT BECOMES OF FIJIAN WIDOWS =
There is no uniformity of custom in Fiji
so that 10 description of what is done by
any one tribe can be taken as applicable
to all the others. The strangling of wi
d0ws, however, that they might be buried
with their dead husbands, seems to have
BEEN everywhere practiced. The widows
brOther performs the operation, and is
thencefGward treated with marked res
pet by his brother-in-law's kinsfolks,
WHO present him with a piece of land,
over which the strangling cord is hung
up, Should he, however, fail to strangle
hissister he is despised. When woman
is about to be strangled, she is made to
kne9l down, and the cord Ga strip of ma
tive cloth) is put round her neck. She
is then told to expel her breath as long
as possible, and when she can endure no
Longer to stretch out her hand as a signal
whenupon the cord is frightened, and
soon all is over 1t is believed that if
this direction be followed insensibility

THE HAWAIIAN DEATH VAIL.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, thus writes: "The hour when
the soul Of the patient takes it's flight to
the Eternal, when the ominous word
make (dead) is sounded like a knell
upon the ears of the survivors, then
suddenly all voices are united in singing,
or rather chanting, the auwe in deep,
melodious, and pathetic tones, that sound
like the wailing of the sea in the night
time. The contagion, like magnetic
current spreads through the village, in
stantly all hearts are moved, and the
auwe iscbanted from one house to an
other, until an ocean of sympathy seems
to float upon the air. There is some
thing s, touching and pitiful in this wall
that foreigners, in passing by during
it's continuation, will stand as if electri-
fled and listen to it as the sweetest, sad
dest music ever heard upon earth 1t is
taken Up in currents, the silence inter-
vening being solemn,-more solemn and
impressive than any pathetic Grafton de-
