BLOOD AroNEMENr.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 22.-Rev. Robert
Mattock was lynched in Ward county few
days since. It is supposed Mattock was
preacher of the new fanaticism prevalent in
this region last year. The enthusiasts believed
in blood atonement, and under Mattock's lead
killed six or seven men. They murdered
Thomas Miller last August with knife, but
were captured and tried, and acquitted as In
sane. A short time ago murdered man was
found In the mountains and circumstances
pointed strongly to Mattock as the murderer.
The community was greatly excited and Mat
tock's disappearance makes 1t quite certain that
he also has been victim of blood atonement.
FAMILY SHOOTING AFFRAY.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-About half past
10 this morning, a shooting affray occurred
at the corner of Washington and Kearny
streets, between Thomas W. Cunningham and
]. A. Chandler, in which the former was
killed, and the latter wounded, though not
dangerously. Family quarrels the cause of
the tragedy, the parties having sisters. Chan
dler claims Cunningham sought to break up
his family. In consequence Chambers wife
left him, and sued for divorce. He also
claims Cunningham first drew a pistol, with
threatening language. Cunningham Is
commission merchant. Chandler was former
ly employed in the mint, subsequently was
and lately out of business, but expecting
government appointment. 1t is reported he

dler.
CINCINNATI, O., April 22.-Shortly before
midnight tonight John Moony was arrested
for the murder OF his wife. The crime was
not known to the police or the public,
though the act was committed
last Sunday, because death did
not not occur till this evening. The coroner,
being called in, discovered the woman died
from the effect of wound inflicted by
hatchet. It appears that Moony had always
been passionate and abusive man, especially
wife with hatchet, and dealt her
severe blows on the left shoulder and neck.
A daughter attempted to interfere, when
Mooney threw the hatchet and cut her arm
fearfully, near tho shoulder. Mrs. Mooney
refused to inform the police OF her injury.
She has been janitress of bank for num-
ber of years and her husband has no occu-
patton, though he says he is painter. His
age Is 81, his wife was 40.
MYSTERIOUS 0cIDE.
CHICAGO, April 22.-The body found in the
custom house building yesterday was at first
believed to be that of E. A. Thomalin, the de-
faulting internal revenue clerk, but letters
have been received from him in South America
within three weeks, expressing his intention
of returning here and giving himself up.
Coroner Watson says he was evidently labor
ing man in new suit of coarse clothes. He
had taken poision from one or both the bottles
by his side, and carefully removed every clue
to his identity.
TEXAS TRAGEDY.
ST. LOUIS, April GA special says that a
band of armed men rode up to the house of
man named McLawrence, living in the little
town of FREQ, Edwards county, Texas, last
Tuesday, and deliberately murdered him, his
wife and young man living with them,
named Lease. No cause is given for the hor-
rible act, and the perpetrators are unknown.

nothing In the house was disturbed.
