youth used to hardships, but was trained to
a religious life the precepts OF which he al

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Six Months Husband shoots His

A
Wife and kiiis HinselE
VrNcESSEs, IND, June 1.-THE most
horrible tragedy that has darkened the
history Of vincennes in many years occur
red at little past midnight yesterday
morning at No. Ol4 Seventh street, the
happy home OF Joseph Pollock, the wealthy
and enterprising miller. The details are in
the last degree heartrending, and there is q
gloom in the city in sympathy with thai
which surrounds and permeates the beau
tiiul home that has been darkened by the
irerzed act Of one Of its inmates. AT q
quarter to l2 o'clock last night Charles
Pollock, son OF Joseph Pollock, came home
de knocked at side door, aud his mother
let him in. She saw that he had been
drinking, and was not surprised when he
kissed her and bade her goodbye.
She told him to go 10 bed and quit mis-
foolishness, but he went to his fathers
bed, reused the old gentleman and said,
Goodbye. pa; l am going" His father
was not fully awake, and did not heed the
words much, thinking, as his wife did, that
the yOuEg man was little intoxicated aud
he was simply repeating formula with
which they were familiar. The young man
then proceeded up stairs to his wiie's
room, where he disrobed and lay down
beside her. She was awake, and he eseems
to have given her an orange, which she
played at eating as they talked, and which
was found bitten in two afterwards. he
put his arm around her, and they lay face
to face, she, doubtless. wholly unsuspicions
Of his intentions, he watching his oppor'
tunity. After ten minutes thusspenb Mrs.
Ross, a sister OF Charles, heard the young
wife plead, "Oh, Charley, Charley, don't,
don't, don't do III"
The next instant pistol shot rang out,
and Mrs. Ross ran across the hall, threw
the door OF her brothers room, open just
in time 10 intercept his wife, who rusned
out, shrieking, and ran to the end ot the
hall, where she fell in heap, iainting, as
Mrs Ross then thought. At the same in.

back in the agonies OF death. The whole
family rushed in and surrounded the bed,
in their distraction forgetting the
wife for a moment. However, Mrs.
Ross thought OF her, and went to where
she lay and spoke. Receiving no answer,
the po.r wife was turned over, and abe
was seen to be stone dead, with blood ooZ
ing from wound 10 her breast, just over
the heart. The whole truth was then
clear. The drunken husband has fret

The New York Evening Post, Re-
publican paper, has this to say of the
platform adopted by the Ohio Republi-
cans:
The platform adopted by the Conven-
ton gives evidence of the embarrass-
ment under which its makers labor, and
they seem to have labored very hard.
The most difficult subject was that OF
the liquor question.
That the Ohio Republicans would de-
clair for protective tariff was to be ex-
pected. But when they went SO far as
to demand the earliest possible restora-
ton of the wool tariff of 1867, they made,
in our opinion, grave mistake even as
protectionists. In denying the charac-
ter of last winters tariff act as finality
the Ohio protectionists have given away
their strongest card.
1t is difficult to speak with patience
on the resolution favoring 1.-THE repeal
of the law limiting the time within
which applications for pensions under
the Arrears of Pension Act shall be
made.n The Arrears of Pension Act
itself was a scandal. fit had any miti-
eating feature it was the provision limit
ing the time for making applications.
To ask for the breaking down even OF
this slight barrier is an unblushed bid
not for the honest soldiers vote for sol
diers honestly entitled to pension have
made their applications long ago. but
for the favor OF the scamp who, eigh-
teen years after the close of the war, are
still IN search of q ,pretext on which to
trump up pension claim, and of the
claim agents who are eager TO help them,

MANSFIELD, La, June 16.-Rev. B.
T. jenkins, jr., this morning killed Rev.
J. L. Borden, president of Mansfield
College. Rev. Mr.. Borden had seduced

or six shots. One shot took effect in
Borden's leg, one in his heart, shatter-
ing his watch, and one in the forehead
between the eyes. He lived about two
hours, but never spoke after the shoot
ing. The creates excitement prevails,
but Jenkins has the sympathy of the
entire community. Jenkins and his
brother, G. E. Jenkins, who was pres
ent, surrendered to the Sheriff. Their
preliminary examination will be held
on Monday. Jenkins is a young man
of twenty-five, and was ordained as
minister at the last session of the an

lege. The coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death by pistol shot fired by Ben. T.

NUTS DEATH 4 AyENGED.

PIrTsBURG, June I3.-The Dispatch
has the particulars by special telegrams,
of the murder of n. l.. Dukes by the son
Of Capt. Mutt. This evening at Union
town, Fayette county, about 7:25 o'clock
James Mutt, eldest son of the late Capt.
A. Q. Mutt, shot and killed Dukes, who,
on the 9th day of December last, kill
ed Capt. Mutt. Dukes was on his way
to the postOffice, and when near Main
street, James Mutt opened fire on him
and shot him twice in the back, i'm
mediately in the rear of the heart
Dukes started on a dead run, pursued
by Mutt, who again fired three more
shots, two of which took effect in the
back, only about two inches from the
first two, the fifth and last striking him
on the left ankle as he was going up to
the pOstoffice steps. Dukes then had
two steps to go up into the office, and
when he reached the top one he fell for
ward on his face. There was an inn
mense crowd of people standing around
the outside of the office, and they ran
in every direction, for fear of being shot.
The fifth ball only grazed the left ankle
and glanced off, and went through
some lock-bOXes. A number of per-
sons rushed up the steps when Dukes
fell, and at the same time Policeman
Regg ran forward and caught Mutt who
made no resistance whatever.
The officer took Mutt to jail and
Dukes was carried to that same old
room i'll the Jennings House where
Capt. Mutt was killed by him, and
which he has continued to occupy ever
since. Coroner Sturgeon arrived on the
scene of the shooting and took charge
of Dukes body. He lived only about
half minute after being shot the last
time.
A jury was sworn, and proceeded to
examine the dead body. The pockets
contained some papers, which were not
touched. The back had four bullet
holes in it on the left side. The vest
contained nothing of any importance,
and the holes in the vest corresponded
to those in the coat. A dirk-knife was
found hanging to the suspender button
on hisleft side, where he could grasp it
in an instant with his right hand, and
in his right hip pocket was found the
very identical revolver with which he
shot Captain Mutt. The dirk-knife was
ready for close encounter and the revol-
yer for long range. Many thought that
the revolver used by Mutt was the same
one his father had at the time Dukes
killed him, but it was not. 1t was o
Colt 32-calibre and not SO large as the
one his father had at the time of his
death. All these were taken by the
Coroner.

Radford Sentenced to Hang.

FREMONT, June 16.-Judge Wickham
yesterday sentenced John Radford, wife
murderer, to hang October 11th. Rad
ford showed no emotion and denied
having committed the murder with de-
liberate malice. He says that he is on
ly guilty of manslaughter. He is cool
and unconcerned. The Judge, in pass
ing sentence, said: "The sentence OF
the Court is, that on Friday, the 18th
day of October next, between the hours
of twelve o'clock a. m. and two O'Clock
p. m. of that day, at the place fixed by
law, you be hanged by the neck until
you are dead, and may the mercies OF
Him, whose tender mercies are over all
His works, rest upon you in that solemn
hour" Radford says he would rather
hang than 60 to the penitentiary.

NEW YORK, June 15.-William H.
Vanderbilt this afternoon drove his cele-
brated team, Maud S. and Aldine, over
the track of the Gentlemen's Driving
Park in minutes and 154 seconds, low
ering the record of 2 minutes 15s seconds,

"This wagon and pole weigh 2l1 pounds.
I weigh 200, that's All, about eighty
more than Edward and Swiveller pulled
round the track" When Vanderbilt
came in and the crowd annunced the
time, he stood UP and said: Gentle
men, let's go and have some wine!"
The crowd was nearly struck dumb, but
they recovered and cheered again. To-
night Maud S. was turned loose in the
stall, which was decked with flowers.
Aldine's box was also decorated with
jasmine and roses. The negro stable
boys were all drunk.

HIBITION HALL.
Nearly Two Hundred Children Tram
pied to Death.
A Narrow Exit Does the Dreadful
and DirefuI Work.
III Heart-Rending Scenes of Stricken
Mothers Looking for the
Loved and Lost.

LONDON, June l6.-A terrible calami.
ty involving the death of Us children
occurred i'm Sunderland, County Dur
ham, this evenil g. From details re-
ceived 1t appears entertainments were
given at Victoria Hall by conjurer,
which were attended almost altogether
by children; several thousand being in
attendance. Tie accident occurred at
the close of the performance. The body
of the hall had been entirely cleared of
its occupants, when some ] 200 of the
little ones came rushing down stairs
from the gallery. At the top of the
first flight of stairs was a door which
opened only twenty inches, and thus
but one child was permitted to pass
through at a time. At this point,
while the mass of children was pushing
forward, one of them fell, and was I'M
able to rise again owing to Others crowd
ing. The result was that great num-
ber were pushed down, trampled upon
and suffocated.
The scene was terrible. No effort
could stop the mad rush of the alright
ed children. They came on pell-mell,
though, strangely, without much shout
ing, and soon 17S were knocked down
and suffocated to death by Others tramp
ing upon them. The greater number of
bodies which were badly niangled from
trampling laid seven or eight feet deep.
Many victims who were not killed had
their clothing torn from their bodies,
and this, together with the bleeding
bodies of the unfortunates, shows the
terrible nature of the struggle. The
ages of the 17S children known to have
been killed ranged from four to four
teen years.
Excitement in the town when the
news of the disaster spread was terrible.
Great crowds rushed to the scene, until
%, 900 persons surrounded the hall. The
feeling was so intense that the authori-
ties ordered out the sixty-eighth infan-
try to preserve order. The work of get
ting out the bodies was begun imme-
diately. They were laid out in the hall,
and the parents of those killed We're adj
mitted to identify the bodies of their
children. The most heart-rending
scenes transpired while the identifica-
ton was in progress. Mothers of the
dead children constantly uttered pierre
ing shrieks, and many tainted on dis
covering the bodies of their little ones.

Dukes being a murderer does no
change the fact. There Is no excuse for
taking the law into ones own hands.
Dukes had been acquitted, but was suf-
fering the torments of the ldamned,
and was scorned Of men. He was re-
ceiving his reward. A dispatch from
Findlay, Ohio, dated June 18th, says:
y. J.. Dukes, the slayer Of Captain

served death at the hands of Jimmie

THEY'RE NOT GUILTY.
The Great Star Route Farce Ended at
Last.
And the Gang of Conspirators who
have Been on Trial for n Year
go "Scot Free"

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The star
route jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty as to the defendants at 10a. IN.
to-day.
Judge Wylie came into the court room
at 10 O'clock promptly. Quite crowd
had already assembled and were seated
within the rail. 1t was noticeable that
all the counsel for the defendants were
at their table while the table of the gov
ernment was vacant. This was thought
to be strange. Mrs. Dorsey dressed in
a polka dot and black shirt with saucy
hat trimmed with crushed strawberry
tints occupied a seat near. Col. Inger-
soil and Mrs. J. NJ. Peck sat beside her.
Gen. Brady and ex-senator Dorsey
were waiting the verdict a short distance
from the court room. Minor and Vaile
sat with their counsel and Baredell sat
with Woodward and Blackman near
the jury-rOom entrance, Mrs. Hickle,
the woman lawyer, stood near the door.
The crier came in and said the jury had
a communication to make to the court.
All was excitement at the mere an
nouncement, as the judge had directed
the jury not to send for him unless
a verdict had been agreed upon. At
five minutes to ten the jury marched
into court, headed by Foreman Crane.
All necks were craned to catch glance
of the jurors faces and to anticipate if
possible, the announcement of their
verdict. The roll was called and each
juryman answered to his name in tone
that could be distinctly heard through
the room. Before the sound of the last
jurors voice had died away, Foreman
Crane arose, ifpossible more ministerial
looking than ever. Judge Wylie said
that he had sent for them to see if they
had agreed on a verdict.
Mr.. Crane: "We have agreed"
What is your verdict?
The foreman then announced the ver-
dict mot guilty. and the utmost confu-
sion prevailed in the court room.
