A letter from Rio Janeiro says: Here
are some details OF tragedy which oG-
cured IN the province OF Bahia, near a
place called Orobo. Lieut.. Marrollno
de Queiroz Pinto is the owner of the st.
Brigitta plantation. His Oldest SOB,
Paulo, "A to 26 years of age, who was
married TO the daughter of an important
family, began to show signs OF mental
arrangement, which increased and be-
came a homicidal mania, directed, as IS
usual the case, against those formerly
most dear to him. As he attempted the
lives of his wife and children. his father
in-law sent him 10 the fathers house.
There he tried to murder his father and
the friends who kept guard upon him.
His father finally resolved to send him
to hospital in Bahia. and brought him
to Orobo while attending the burial
of a daughter. During the night Panic
succeeded in leaving the house at OfobO
secretly, fastening back TO his fathers
plantation and got into the house with
out being seen. Aiming himself with q
hatchet, he struck down his brother
Jose, 6 years OF age, with it, bled him
with pointed knife, and Tained blows
OF the hatchet on him even when quite
dead. His brother Benedicto, II years
of age, saw the murder and fed, but
failed to give the alarm. Paulo pro-
ceeded to the room of q slave woman
named Lucia and slew her also. He then
went to a room wherein was another
slave, Balbina, and five freedom child
ren of slaves. He slew the children and
seriOusly Y wounded Balbin3. His brother
joaquin, 13 years OF age, had fed into
the woods on first seeing 2 .ulO, aud,
knowing nothing Of what had occurred
IN the house during the night, returned
to 1t In the morning. Meeting Paulo at
the threshold he wished him good morn
ing. Paulo replied with blow OF tho
hatehet, wounding joaquin in the fore
head. joaquin fed, pursued by Paulo,
but got away. Paulo then gathered up
some clothes and other articles, went TO
a neighbor's and borrowed q horse, rid
ing to Orobo, and telling every one he
met what he had done. He eloIified
IN his crime, saying that by the will of
God he had with him choir Of angels, and
that God was responsible, not he 1t is
thought that the murders related above
were not the only ones committed by the
maniac, as an old woman and a free child
of a slave, wh3 slept AZ the plantation,
could not be found

20 recall memories of visits to those
places of burial IN rural ENGLAND. where
found a predominance of memorials of
the dead of the most simple and u1o.,.
ttuslve kind. English families of tbe
highest titles and the largest wealth
have taken this stand, aud they have also
decided that there shall be no hDriaIs IN
toombs, crypts or graves of brick and
cement, but burials simply in earth-to-
earth. After the brutal assassination of

turf, as have been those of other men-

found the spot marked by Il heap of gar
lands, the most rare AMI costly, coming
from the hands of his queen. Around

stones marking the graves OF his aDces-

and which he has described so beauti-
fully IN hls sketches of rural life IN the
mother &C dntry, Mr.. Irving arranged his
burial Ice IN full accord with these ideas
OF sim piclty and unobtrusiveness. A
pla1nf md small headstone marked 'Wash-

and stones of thesame size and samesim
