and John Steward, two white men,
employed as fishermen for Mr.. L. Bass,
the reru't of which was most foul and
fiendish murder. We failed to Learn

that Trester was in skif which Ste
ward also wanted to get into, but the
former objected and said he would kill
him tSteward) if he entered the skill
Steward paid no attention to the
threat and got into the boat, whereup-
on Trrster, with butcher knife in
hand rushed at him, and, drawing the
blade of the knife across Stewards
throat, cut it olmost from ear to ear,
severing the iugnlar vein and causing

 Preparations for the coming singing festi- val are in full blast. The Arion Singing so- eiety of this city will entertain fourteen ao- cieties in royal style.

The great singing contest takes place at the Hy- perion on the evening of July Sd. The so- ciety is greatly beautifying it's fine hall and adjoining rooms by frescoing them anew in soft, tasteful and pleasing eolors. The work was intrusted to the care of Mir. Charles Schenck, whose artistic abilities have been so often demonstrated in this. city and else where, and he has admirably executed the work. The prevailing colors are olive, sky blue and chamois yellow, the latter predom- walls being of light olive with a handsome border. The trimmings are of terra cotta color. The parlor ceiling is light blue with pink border, and frieze representing leaves Of flowers. The library and business room is embellished like the main hall. The socie- ty has also put in an elevator to run from the kitchen below to the hall above. Other improvements are being made by this enter prising society. The decoration of the build ing's front for July 3d and 4th has been let to the New Haven Decorating company. It is proposed to make splendid decoration of the front. As there will be so large an at- tendance and influx of people to enjoy the festival, both Arion hall and Germania hall will be employed for the gatherings.
