Killed by a burglar,

WHITEHALL, N. Y, Feb. 10.-A shocking
tragedy has just come to light at Westport,
near here. A masked man entered the house
of Ransom Floyd, an aged and respected
farmer, shortly after Z p. m. and demanded
the farmers money. The farmer refused to
yield to the burglars demands, whereupon
the latter drew a revolver and shot him.
Floyd lost consciousness but when he came
to he found Mrs. Floyd lying dead upon the
floor, her head pounded to jelly.
Although weak from loss of blood Mr..
Floyd hobbled thirty rods to the house of
Alexander Laswell, his nearest neighbor,
and aroused the inmates. Mr.. Laswell and
his son hurried to the scene Of the tragedy.
A horrible sight met their gaze The car
pet In the little sitting room was soaked
with blood. Mrs Floyd's countenance was
entirely unrecognizable. The burglar had
evidently turned his attention to Mrs Floyd
as soon as he disposed Of her husband. He
had used some blunt instrument, apparently
the butt end of his revolver, and had not
stopped until the entire top Of the head and
face of the woman had been mashed. The
Bible the old lady had been reading was still
tightly clasped in her hands. She was 60
years old. Her husband may recover, but
his wounds are very serious on account of
his advanced age.
PLATTsBURG, N. Y, Feb. 12-Henry Fra
zier, 20 years old, residing at Anger Spout,
five miles from Keeseville, has been ar
rested on suspicion of being the murderer OF
Mrs. Floyd at Westport, Friday night last
The prisoner claims that he was not al
Westport, and that he can prove that he
attended an Indian show at Keeseville
Friday night and drove home with a friend
Immediately after the performance. He
bears good reputation and as far as knowr

IN A wATERY GRAVE.



KINGSTON, N. Y, Feb. 10.-One Of the
chain Of lakes known as the Bnnewaters on
,he lire of the Waikiki Valley railroad, a
few miles from this city, was the scene Of a
frightful casualty Sunday. The lakes, which
abound with pickerel, are usually visited at
this season of the year by fishing parties
who cut circular holes in the ice and
through these drop their lines While Jacob
II. Slater and his wife were fishing near shore
on the Third Binnewater their four children
put on skates and struck out towards the
center Of the lake. the ice upon which was
hardly two inches thick.
The children had been skating but a short
time when the ice suddenly gave way under
their weight, and their piercing cries as they
felt themselves sinking drew their parents
to the spot
wildly in the direction OF her children in
vain attempt to rescue them. As she ap-
preached the spot where they had disap
peared the ice gave way beneath her feet
and she, too, was soon carried out Of sight
under the ice
Slater, who was only few feet behind
his wife, dived after her and was never seen
again There were other people fishing on
the lake and the news Of the sad affair
spread rapidly. By nightfall hundreds Of
people lined the shores Of the lake while
efforts were being made to recover the bod
les of the victims
Slater was about IS years of age and
