A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
A Father Murders His Wife and
Children and kills Himself.

The moss shocking trrgeiy in the history
of Fauquier county, Va, has been enacted
at the residence of John Ola scock resulting
in the humiliation of the entire family.
The murderer is a son of Thomas Glascock,
the largest land owner in the county and
one of the wealthiest men in Virginia
From his youth up John had been hayward
and frolicSome, addicted to liquor and fond
OF low company, bat in spite of his habits he
was quite favorite. Some years ago he
married a daughter of Herod Frazier, a
prominent citizen of Loudoun county, who
bore him three children, two boys and girl
With them he was living on one of his
fathers finest farms of several hundred
acres, about three miles north of Rector
town.
The first intimation the neighbors had that
there was anything wrong at the Glascock
house was the appearance of flames and
smoke through the windows between 8 and
9oclock Sunday morning. "A number Of
people ran TO the house with the intention of
rendering assistance, but found to their sur
prise that the doors and windows were Sc
curely bolted and barred on the inside, aud
that the building was to all appear
ance deserted. AS the flames were
making rapid progress it was necessary to
effect an entrance at once in some way, and
the first corners soon succee led in battering
down one of the doors and eventually in put
ting out the fire. No living person was
found in the house. but on a bel in the family
bedroom, over which coal oil had been poured
and then ignited, We're found the dead bodies
OF Mrs. Glascock and her infant son, the lat
ter greatly distigured by the flames. Both
had been shot through the heal with re-
volver, and the murderer, as if to make
sure of the death of Mrs. Gascock, had
shot her a second and third time through
the body. On the floor near the burning bed
lay the dead bodies of the two other chill
dren, Rodney and Emily, both shot through
the heal, and the former also shot twice
through the body.
1t appears that Glascock, while laboring
under some hallucination or a fit of tenn
porary insanity, drove away the servant
early Sunday morning, murdered his
family, poured coal oil over the bed and set
fire to it, fastened uD the house, and then
went to the cabin of neighbor and pre-
tended to be i'll need Of servant to cook
breakfast for himself and family. lie then
returned, as his tracks in the snow indicate,
to the vicinity of his own house, and finding
that the tragedy had not yet been discovered
proce ado1 to the edge OF the piecs of woods
overlooking his farm, where he seems to
have watched his burning house until it
was entered and the fire extinguished by the
neighbors. He then retired few PAGES
further into the woods and shot himself
through TIE heart.
