ALundon Tragedy.

LONDON, June "A horrible crime OF
double murder and suicide came to light
today. The scene Of the tragedy was
in one of the poor quarters OF Kentish
Town, suburb of London. The neigh
bors OF family occupying apartments
in house in this quarte: noticed that
none OF the family had been seen for
some little time, and upon opening the
apartments the head OF the family, his
wife and child were found dead in the
rooms. Judging from the condition of
the rooms, It is evident that the man
first killed his wife and child by cutting
their throats, and then killed himself
in the same manner. The wounds in
tlicted are terrible ones. No reason is
known for the crime.

A. SUCCESSFUL EFFORT.

Sir Charles Russell's cross-examina-
ton OF Sir William Gordon. n.Cumming
was pronounced to be very successful
effort. What Sir Charles wanted to ex-
tract from the plaintiff was that the lat
ter should confess that he sat quietly
under what was admitted to be pecayi,
so long as he thought the facts in con-
nection with the scan dal would not get
ont, andthe fact that they did get about,
and no ioftier motive led him (Sir Will
liam) to take the present proceedings;
The bout between the leading counsel
for the defendants and the plaintiff was
long and stubbornly contested, Sir VIII
liam parrying the lawyers thrusts most
skillfully. Finally. alluding to the com
pact OF secresy, the plaintiff said: Yes,

"Why" asked Sir Charles.
Because" replied the plaintiff, "if l
had not done SO the thing would have
been taken up by my clubs, by my
friends, andby my regiment"
JUST WHAT HE WANTED.
"This is what 1 wanted" was Sir
Charles RusselI's remark, after the
baronet had made the last quoted re.
mark. Sir Charles Russell suggested
that Sir William don-Cumming had
said and written despairing things, us,
for instance: "It's all up with me;
there is nothing left for me but to cut
my throat; life is not worth living
now" Some OF these assertions Sir
William fatty denied, including writing
or receiving some OF the letters referred
to in the testimony. Sir Charles Rus
sci brought out the fact that Sir Will
liam had retained his share OF the win
nings on September and 8 at Tranby
Croft, amounting to two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, producing in court
a check for that amount which had
been paid on Sir William Gordon-Cum-
ming's account. The plaintiff, it also
appeared from the testimony given,
wrote to General Owen Williams in
January last. telling him of the rumors
that were circulating in regard to the
baccarat playing at Tranby Croft and
received the following reply:

The Italian consul at New Orleans, the
Italian minister to the United States at
Washington and the Marquis di Rudini,
premier of Italy, denounced the lynchings

the heat OF indignation following the first
intelligence of the tragedy. but blood quick

to light which while they in no manner

the affair. 1t was shown by the Marquis

TO become known that there lived in New
Orleans between 100 and 200 men, mostly

to be regretted, first, that blot should

deemed necessary to avenge that murder
by extra legal proceedings.
