Mrs. Selinger Found Horribly Mur= dered in the Kitchen of Her
 Home.
Suspicion Falls on Her Husband, Who Is Badly Injured and Will Make No
 Explanation.

Mrs. Selinger was found lying dead on a lounge in the kitchen of her home. 38 Waterville street, South San Fran cisco, with the back of her head blown off by a charee of buckshot On the back stoop of the house, but a few feet from the lounge on which Mrs. Selin- ger lay, sat her husband, Raimond, bleeding from a great wound in his forehead.
 This briefly tells the story of one of the most mysterious tragedies which the police have been called upon to deal with for long time. It is mys- terious not because of dark, hidden plots and secret whisperings, but from the utter contradiction of things visi- ble and evident. The husband, faint, weak and apparently wounded unto death, tells story which all the visible evidences of the case seem to conspire to contradict-a wild, almost impossible story, and then comes the usual gossip of the neighbors.
 Waterville street is one of the ob- scure little thoroughfares in the lone some hills of South San Francisco, hardly marked even by a wagon track. There are few houses in the neighbor- hood. The numerous hollows among the hills form the feeding place for hundreds of wild duck and the crack of the hunters rife is heard so often that little or no attention is paid to the sound.
 Mo- 3S is a brown, one-story cottage and in it lived until yesterday Raimond Selinger and his wife. The husband is a brewer by occupation, but for some time past has been out of employment, and according to the neighbors has been drunk great deal. The couple were said to be very quarrelsome and passers by often heard voices pitched high in quarrel.
 The last person known to have seen Mrs. Selinger alive was brewer named Miller He called on the couple Mon day afternoon, took dinner with them and left at about o'clock in the even ing All seemed to be well at that time.
 The next story comes from a boy named Russi, who delivers milk In the neighborhood, and it tends to throw some light on the mystery. He says that he was passing the house Monday evening between and 8 o'clock and heard the couple quarreling. This was nothing unusual, but he stopped a mo- ment out of boyish curiosity. What he heard startled him so much that he hurried away without waiting for any

HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN
 CHURCH IN AMERICA
Bishop Tikhou Arrives at New York
 En Route to the Pacific

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Among the passengers arriving yesterday on the French line steamship Champagne was Bishop Tikhou, the newly appointed head of the Russian church in America, although nominally he is bishop of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. He was met at the pier by the Russian Consul General and members of the Russian colony in this city and escorted at once to the Russian church at 323 Second avenue, where in accordance with the custom of his church he conducted a. service of thanksgiving for his safe arrival.
 Bishop Tikhou will start for San Francisco on Thursday, but intends to visit New York and other orthodox parishes in the East again before leav- ing. His new diocese Is said to be the largest in the world, as 1t includes the whole of North America, and com prises about thirty parishes, with as many churches and seventy chapeIs.
