INJURIES TO THE EGYPTIAN OBELIsK.--
There is said to be something serious the
matter with the Egyptian obelisk erected
some time ago in Central Park, New York;
that lately it has been undergoing important
changes, as if from atmospheric influences,
which threaten to roughen if not to ''chip"
or scale its surface and obliterate its in
scriptions. The rains and SHOWS of last
winter have forced into the delicate tracery
of the latter millions of particles of snow
which fioze as they entered, and melted
again in few hours, and on close inspec-
ton it would appear that by this process the
surface has undergone very marked deter
ioration; also, that the corners begin to ex-
hibit decided symptoms of wearing away,
threatening to change the shape of the shaft
from quadrilateral to a circular In order
to preserve it from the fate with which our
climate thus threatens it, it is proposed to
take it down, and replace it in the great
hall ofthe Museum, just opposite, heighten-
ing the roof to make room for it.

Murder OF all Immigrant

MONTREAL, Que, May 26-The most
startling affair that has for some time past
agtated police circles occurred here yester-
day evening. Two Swedish immigrants, it
appears, had been boarding at the Califor-
MIA Hotel for some days past. Yesterday
evening, about six o'clock, one of them,
Jacobson, was walking out ofthe hotel door
without paying his reckoning. The land
lord halted him, and noticed that he was
carrying away along with his own bag that
of his companion, Olofson. He challenged
Jacobson, who insisted on leaving. Du-
manchet, the landlord. had him stopped UNI
til he made search in the room. Upon
reaching it he saw Olofson apparently re-
clining on the bed. He pulled down the
coverlet, and, to his horror, found the bed
deluged with blood, while Olofson's head
appeared to have been literally hacked to
pieces He was quite dead

Horrible Murder.

RALEIGH, N. c., May Ga horrible MUIR
der was found to have been committed in
Brunswick county by David H. Sykes. He
has for some days increasingly demanded
that woman, Bella Jones, should marry
him. She persistently refused. Sykes, who
became jealous and angry, went to her home
and found the poor woman there with only
her little child He rushed at her but she
fled. He drew heavy knife as he caught
her, and with one sweep Of the blade cut
her throat from ear to ear while he held her
on the floor. The murderer then took her
infant, placed it at the mothers breast and
fed. When the body was found the child
was asleep on its dead mothers bosom. The
whereabouts of the murderer is not known,
though large parties are seeking him.
