World.  the body of Ellen Lynch. She was in her night clothes, and was lying upon her face. A copious stream of blood had escaped from her mouth, and formed a puddle upon the floor. One of her hands was clasped and much cut. It was evident she had grasped the knife of the assassin, and had the blade drawn through her fingers. Her death was probably caused by a blow upon the head, inflicted with some heavy instrument. " The other victim was Mrs. Hannah Shaw. She was in her ordinary dress, and lay upon her back in the rear part of the room. This woman had a gash in her right cheek, and a wound in the breast, evidently inflicted with a knife. The carpet where she lay was completely saturated with blood.  " The room in which the fearful tragedy had been enacted was comfortably furnished, and the articles in the apartment were not disarranged ; even the carpet upon the floor (which was an ordinary rag-carpet, and laid down in strips) was as smooth as though the murdered women had laid themselves gently down upon it. Nothing about the room indicated a serious struggle, except the ghastly remains lying upon the floor. " So far as the circumstances connected with this fearful affair have transpired, it - seems that the house in which the murder was committed is occupied by John Carrol, and that his brother William boards with him. The second storey front room is rented to Bartholomew Lynch and his wife. Mrs. Lynch was confined about two weeks since, and has left her twin girls without a mother. The room in which the foul deed was committed is used for Sabbath-school purposes by John Carrol. Mrs. Shaw has been staying with her sister since her confinement, and they have had several quarrels together. Carrol and his wife were also in the habit of-quarrelling. "It seems that Carrol and his wife went to a ball, or to a party of some kind, last evening, and were away all. night ; this morning Mrs. Carrol returned home alone, about half-past seven o'clock, and was the first to discover the dreadful spectacle. The milkman was at the door when she returned, and she called him in to witness the scene. The neighbours were also alarmed. The infant children, so suddenly left without a mother, were found in the second storey front room, crying. "At the time we left the scene, the knife with which it is supposed most of the wounds wore inflicted had not been found. A piece of leaden pipe, about eighteen inches long, much battered, was found. Those who were first upon the ground say there were spots of blood, and some human hair, upon the pipe, when they first saw it. It is probable that the fatal blow was inflicted upon Mrs. Lynch with this weapon. " A candle, partly burnt, was found in the room ; the wick appeared to have been extinguished purposely. The brass candlestick had blood upon it. "Mrs. Carrol says that when she left home last night a young man named John Ryan was there. Ryan has since been arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol are also in custody.
