The MilIvIIIe Tra2edy-BuFfal of the
 Murdered COuple-An Arrest on suspfc-
 ion.
 PoTTsvILLE, Sept. 16.-There is no abate- ment in the excitement over the terrible tragedy enacted at Millville, and the most profound sorrow is manifested throughout the county for the unfortunate couple who were foully murdered. In conversation with an uncle of the murdered man the question of insanity was brought up, to which he re- piled, q have never known or heard of in- sanity in our family, and I firmly believe that William and his wife were foully dealt with and that the parties engaged in the bloody work were prompted to com- init the double murder by the expec- tation of securing a large amount of money believed to be secreted in the house. The fact" he said, "that nothing was disturbed, or that there was no indication of 8 struggle, would not. be evi- dence of self destruction. They were not without money in the house, and whatever the amount may have been it was doubtless captured by the murderers, as to-day's inves- tlgetlon failed to find any about the prem lses." During the investigation the testimony of those who found the body and those who saw the couple alive last was taken.
 The double funeral took place at noon yesterday. l. ng before the appointed hour several thousand people had arrived from the ne1ghboring cities and towns for miles around to pay the last tribute of respect to by the large assemblage which filed in at one door and out at the other. The services were most impressive At half-past one the fuae- ra4 procession moved and soon reached the village churchyard, where the newly married couple were laid at rest. During the even- ing rumor was circulated that tramp had been in the western section of the county and that his clothes were blood-stained. Upon close examination he was unable to give satisfactory account of himself.
