FIENDIsH MURDER.
A Woman Cruelty Murdered by Her Hus
band on Windsor Ferry Boat.

A dastardly murder was committed
on ferry boat plying between Wind
sor and Detroit, on the night of August
10, when Luke Phipps fired three shots
into his wife's body, killing her in
stantly. Phipps is an employee in John
Armstrong; billiard saloon, Detroit,
and has had trouble with his wife for
some time on account of another EN-
ploye of Armstrong; named Harry
Livingston, who for some time boarded
with Phipps' family on Clifford street.
Somebody suggested to Phipps that his
wife was on too intimate terms with
Livingston, and the husband setting a
watch on their movements discovered
things which led him to make complaint
in the police court charging her with
adultery, on which she was bound over
to the recorders court for trial. Prior
to her arrest, which occurred July II,
the husband and wife had parted, and
after the examination Mrs Phipps went
TO Windsor, boarding part of the time
at the Crawford house, and also at Mrs.
Goodenough's, and at Winters hotel.
She commenced suit for divorce from
her husband on the grounds of cruelty
and non-support, and also expressed
her intention TO marry Harry Living
ston when the decree was granted. In
the meantime her husband was drink
ing hard, and made several visits to In
duce her to return to him. She tried
TO have him abandon the prosecution
of the charge for adultery, but it seems
that no understanding could be reach
ed. Such was the position of affairs
when the fearful tragedy was enacted.
On the evening in which the murder
was Committed, Mrs. Phipps went
aboard the ferry boat TO ride back and
forth on the river. Phipps heard she
was there, and followed, and made his
way 10 her at once. She feared violence
on his part, and arose as if to move
away, when he drew revolver, and
before he could be hindered fired three
shots, each taking effect. She fell TO
the deck, moaning 30. Luke! o, Moth
err' and died. After fierce struggle
the murderer was taken in custody, and
handed over to Canadian authorities,
who claimed that the deed was COM
mitted on Canadian waters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps were married at
Spencerport, N. Y. in 1870. Mrs.
Phipps' maiden name was Ellie Brown,
and her father, VIM. Brown, was u
prominent citizen. He set Phipps up
In billiard saloon and gave his daugh-
ter house and 10 acres of land. Mr..
Brown married again, und then Phipps
and his wife removed to Detroit. They
returned to Spencerport in 1877, but
remained few months and then once
more came to Detroit. Phipps stated
after his arrest that all his troubles
were cause by Harry Livingston, whom
he charged with having debauched his
wife and ruined lis peace and happi-
ness. He said he was sorry he had kill
ed her, but she had been untrueto him,
deserted him and turned deaf ear to
his appeals to come back and take care
of their three children. The children

reelection in connection with the loss of
life on the Scieto is the fact that, not
withstanding the sinking of that vessel,
very few lives need necessarily have
been lost. as the saloon deck of the
steamer, where most of the passengers
were. was only submerged to depth
of probably not exceeding p feet, while
the hurricane deck was from four to

The Postmaster-General received a
letter the other day containing $50 in
gold, from the Italian Director of Posts,
saying the money was found loose in q
New York mail bag, aud that no owner
could be found. In all probability it
belonged to some poor Itolian laborer
who had sent it to his loved ones in
Sunny Italy," and it Is very doubtful
whether his desire will ever be fulfilled.
This is by no means an exceptionable
case, and shows the necessity Of a regis
tered envenlope which will not be too
expensive, and at the same time be
strong enough TO resist the abrading &C

notice several times, and 1T is hoped
that some action will be taken in the
matter ere long.

Sir Edward James Reed, ex-Chief
Constructor of the British navy, who
has examined the steamer Daphne,
which keeled over and drowned over
100 men aboard, while being launched
recently in the Clyde, at Glasgow, has
made public report of the result of
his Investigations. He asserts that the
Daphne turned over when she fairly
reached the water, because she was
built without the initial stability neces-
sary to float her without the balances
afforded by cargo. Sir Edward as
serts that scores of iron steamers are
similarly built, and allowed to 90 into
trade. He asserts that such is the
haste to secure bottoms for the rapidly
growing needs of marine commerce,
That the great majority of iron steamers
floated within the past 10 years have
been built without the necessary initial
stability to float cargoless, and urges
such a change in the shipping laws as
will prohibit the registry of any iron
ship so deficient. The report has created
a sensation among the public, and has
