most dreadful tragedy ever known in this

Shoemaker had been her guardian, and
after the marriage was called upon for an

had run through large sum LETT the girl
by her father. Protracted litigation fol-
lowed and much bitter feeling was the re-
suit. Recently piano in possession of
Mrs. Lukens was sold by Shoemaker, and
on its removal more hot words were in
dulged in.
The feeling has been greatly intensified
by this last incident, and this evening
about $50, Shoemaker walked up to Luz
kens' residence, armed with two reVolvers
OF large calibre, and entering the yard
opened fire upon Dick and George who
were standing there, the former with his
babe in his arms. Both fell dead in an
instant, George with bullet through
his temple and Richard with one throug h
the heart. Their father, Richard Lukens,
ST., alarmed by the shooting, ran out and
met the murderer who was firing shot
after shot into the bodies, when he fired
bullet into the old man 8 thigh.
Then as crowd had collected, he turned
and ran down street two squares, when
suddenly halting, he sent bullet into his
own abdomen and died in short time
Shoemaker was about 40 years OF age and
leaves wife and two children. The dead
men were aged 80 and Is years respective
ly and each leaves wife and child. The

raercial bank has failed. The bank as
signed to A. B. Geilfuss, cashier, who
fled bond of $3.50, 600. The troubles
of the bank are said to result from the &C.

July statement gave liabilities of 81 .656, =
600, of which 1861, 743 was due depositors
on demand and y52S, 9l5 on time.
The direct cause of the suspension was
the failure of the Douglass Furnace COM

FRANCES pENrANDs.
Siam Will No Doubt Pay Them In
Full.

BANGKOK, July 21.-Pavie, the French
minister resident, handed the ultimatum
to Prince Deouwonzee, Siamese minister
of foreign affairs, Friday, and announced
that in case frances demand was refused
ne would at once leave Bangkok 20 board
gunboat and blockade the Siamese
coast. He added war would be declared
at once. The opinion is general here that
Siam will pay in full the indemnity
demanded by France. 1t is doubtful,
however, if the French claims to territory
will be allowed. Much depends upon
the response of Great Britain to the effort
Siam is making to gain moral or material
support.
