MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Rev. James Kemlo Kills His Wife, and
Then Takes His Own life

Then Takes His Own Life.
New YORK, Sept. 19.-Shortly after noon

jump from the fourth story of the Atlantic
Bank building, 40 Fulton street, Brooklyn.
he fell on the sidewalk, sixty feet below.
with terrible force, and the crowded thor
0ugEfaTe at once became the scene of the
greatest excitement. 1t was soon seen that
the man was fatally injured, and, while
preparations were in progress to remove him
to hospital, several persons rushed up
stairs to see il they could learn something
about him.
As they opened the door leading to the
front room on the fourth floor horrible
sight met their gaze. The body of woman
still warm and breathing was lying on the
floor just within the door so as to prevent
1t from opening more than half way. her
feet being toward it She had a ter.
rlble stab in the left side of the
throat. She was at once recognized as
Mrs. frankie Kemlo, wife of Rev. James
Kemlo, late pastor of the Reformed Presby-
terrain Church at Boonville, N. j., and
residing in Newark. Very soon afterWard
the man who had thrown himself from the
window was recognized as Rev. Mr.. Kemlo
himself. From what had occurred it now
became evident that murder and suicided
had been committed. The room presented
horrible and sickening appearance, the
place being saturated with blood.
There was blood spattered over the wall
near the entrance, blood on tire clean plates
laid ready for dinner, and blood on the bed,
which stood near the open window from
which Kemlo had taken his terrible leap.
The sill of the window on which he had
placed his hands before taking the leap was
broadly stained with blood. In the sink
was found the bloody carving knife which
Kemlo had left after him. The body of
KemlO was taken to the Long Island College
Hospital where he died this morning.
The theory of the case is that Kenlo, act
ing under some insane impulse, first stabbed
his wife and then cut his own throat while
they were alone. That she had resisted him
is shown by the screams that were heard
and by the fact that the ball of her left
thumb is deeply gashed, as if she had caught
the knife in her hand. 1t appears that the
Rev. Mr.. Kemlo has for some time been dis
tTbed in his mind, partly from malaIal
fever and partly from concern caused by
his having been laid off by his church.
after vacation. He and his wife had
come on a visit to old Mrs. Kemlo, who for
several years has occupied apartments on
the fourth story of the bank building. They
had only been half an hour in the house.
and old Mrs. Kemlo was getting dinner
ready for them. the cooking utensils being
already on the range. The old lady had
just gone out to purchase some meat, and
during her absence the tragedy occurred.

About water.

A curious fact about water is that it
is the rust of the metal known as hy-
drogenium. When oxygen combines
with iron it forms reddish rust, and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted. In this condition it is said to be
oxidized.. Now, waters simply oxi-
died hydrogenium. This metal is
present in the sun and in all the plan
cts in enormous quantities. Indeed, it
is said that the human body is COM
posed of 81 pals of water, mingled
with some lime, iron and certain salts.
Chemistry has revealed to us many
marvels, but none greater than the
composition of common water.-Den1-

The total corn acreage is 1929, 1888; tobac-
co acreage, 12,30S. The corn acreage is about
fifteen per cent. greater than last year, but
the late planting, the Southern seed, I'M
favorable season and early frosts will re-
duce the crop to nearly fifty per cent. less
than 1882. The tobacco acreage is about
twenty-five per cent. greater than q year
ago. About one-quarter of what prom
ised to be a fine crop had been gathered
before the frost; the rest is perhaps three
quarters spoiled. The recent frosts wrought
enormous damage in the State.

Scientific American.
Forty years ago the word petroleum
had no existence in current language.
Il is compound term meaning simply
rock oil; it was in the dictionaries, but
it was not known to people in general.
And yet the article at that time was on
sale, in the large cities, and occasionally
in smaller places. But it was in very
slnall quantities, and was disposed Of
by the ounce. Very probably the en-
tire stock on hand in Che city Of New
York could have been held in few five
