A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
The Terrible Discovery Made by
 Sister.

Sister.
 TOLEDO, June 15.-This city was startled by most terrible crime which is supposed to have been.committed about o'clock this morning, but was not discovered until nearly o'clock this evening, when Mrs. Billy" Brown, wife of saloon keeper and sister of Mrs. Wakelee, residing across the street from the scene of the murder, not seeing any of the family crossed over to see what was the matter. Finding the house locked she raised @ win dow, entered and proceeding to the bedroom she found MT. and Mrs. Wakelee lying on the floor near the foot of the bed, she having her throat cut from ear to ear with razor. and he with two bullet holes in the region of the heart. Everything shows clearly that Wakelee committed the double crime. He had always been considered a sober, industrious man, but was last night seen around Brown s place and was intoxicated. It is supposed that jealousy was the cause of the crime. He left two letters, one to his mother-in-law containing $90 to pay the funeral expenses. The words s'Dear old mo4her, do not grieve, it is better thus," were in both letters. At the end of one he exclaimed, "Oh Lucy, why did you do it2'' He said, 'I have always been true to her." They had no children. A post-mortem examination takes place to- night.

A Number of Cases Where Removals

 WASHINGTON, June 15.-Postmaster Gene ral Villas said to-day that number. of other cases had been considered by the President along with those of the postmasters who were suspended to-day, but that the President did not deem the evidence presented of offensive partisanship sufficient to warrant their re moval and had decided that they should serve out their full terms. Mir. Villas also said that the President had been exceedingly generous to the last administration in the cases of number of postmasters nominated by President Arthur, and conferred by the Senate just before adjournment, but had not been commissioned and hence were not postmasters in the full meaning of the law With one exception these all had been commissioned by President Cleveland; this exceptional case was where the man had resigned before he could be commissioned.

THE ARREST OF MAXWELL. Young PreIIer's Slayer Caught At
 Auckland.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-The steamer City of Sydney from Australia arrived this morning with Sydney dates of May 21 and Auckland of May 26. The Auckland papers contain accounts of the arrest en May 5 of Walter H. Lennox Maxwell, alias Theodore Cecil Dauguire, charged with having mur- dered Charles A. Preller in St. Louis April 5. The arrest was made by United States Consul Gamble, who received a telegram from the chief of police of St. Louis with instructions to that effect. Two days later Consul Gamble received telegram from the United States Secretary of State authorizing him to make the arrest. Two detectives boarded the steamer at Tiritiri. The purser in reply to their questions stated that there. was a man among the steerage passengers answering to Maxwell's descri otion. The man was summoned on deck and the first question asked him was whether he was a physician. He promptly replied that he was not, but was native of France and an officer of the French army. The officers informed him that they had war rant for his arrest and would have to take h1m into custody. Maxwell appeared discon certed, but recovered his composure while the officers were handcuffing him, coolly re- marking that the whole matter was a mis- take which would be quickly explained away. On May he was brought into the police court and the charges against him were read. The crown solicitor appeared for the prosecution and Messrs. Napier and Bur ton for the defense. The latter claimed that the court had no jurisdiction and after some argument the case was remand ed to the 7th, after which it was again remanded to the 17th. On that day the case was brought up. Con sul Gamble was the first witness called. He testified as to the various articles found in Maxwell's trunk, which among other things contained two embroidered handkerchiefs marked 70. A. F." and shirt with two large spots of blood on the tail. In reply to questions as to how the articles not bearing the initials of his name had come into his possession Maxwell said they had been given him in San Francisco by a man named Rob inson.
