afternoon, by her reputed uncle, whos
name has not yet been disclosea, an, ,
who, having fled immediately after com
uiitting the fatal deed, had evaded arres
up to a late hour last night.
Tne disreputable buuumg in whim,

Paul L 'Wt> became involved in a qnarr<
last May, which terminated in a street
affray, during which he shot and senou.-
iy wounded several of the men wit
whom he hau quarreled.
He is said to have committed suicid
in San Francisco. The details of th-
murder of yesterday afternoon, and tiu
circumstances which it has revealed,
constitute a paimul narrative of life*
vicissitudes, which may be briefly re
counted.
At 3:15 p. m., a fashionably attired
man ol rather slight physique, a liter
t-bove the average stature, aud with a
very heavy brown mustache, ascended
the high stoop of the literally gilded pal
ace of infamy, and rang the door-bell.
His summons was answered by the house
keeper, Mary Ann Allison, who, in re
sponse to bis seemingly very pleasant in
quiry for “Maud Merrill,” was invited U,
enter, and informed that she was thei
making her toilet in the rear room on
tho third floor, which apartment had
been permanently assigned to her.
He entered and immediately proceeded
tothoroomindioated. The housekeeper
returned to a lower room, whence she
had just come, arid there joined other in
mates of the lioase. A few moment),
later, she with her associates was alarmed
by a strange noise, snob as might hav<-
been maae by,three successive blow:
with a hammer, upon some hard sab
stance, but which subsequently appeared
to have been caused by three report>■
from the pistol-With which the murdei
was committed.
Tne housekeeper went at once to as
certain the cause of the alarm, and me 1
the man whoiq she had admitted leisure
lv descending the main stairway, wit
ins hands in the pockets of his overcoat
Siie inquired,. “What is the matter up
stairs?”
He quietly, and with scarcely visibL
excitement, replied: **I have just shot
aud killed my niece, and now I rn goiug
to give -myself up.” Terror-stricken a:
this announcement, she hastened up
stairs, forgetting to oall for tho appr-
hension of the murderer, who walked
away unmolested.
Reaching the third floor, she found the
unfortunate victim lying face downward
upon tho floor of her room, with her
head against the door, »just gasping in
her death struggle. She then ran quickly
to the Fifteenth Police Station, and in
formed Capt. Byrnes and Sergeant Car
penter, who hurrieu to the scone, bu
before they reached the house tbe wound
ed woman had expired.
The room bore evidence of a seven
struggle having ensued. Behind the
door were found two bullets imbedded
in the plastering of the wa 1. A third
ballet had entered the body of the de
ceased jrtat under her shoulder-blade,
showing that she had been shot while
fleeing from her assailant.
A fresh abraiion of the skin was fonnd
upon the nose and another upon the left
breast, showing that the murderer must
have put violent hands upon his violin
before shooting her. The body, which
was that of a rather small but very syn
metrical woman, with luxuriant brown
hair, which had just been arranged by
hair-dressor, was enveloped in a loose
white robe of fine linen.
Coronor Young viewed the body last
evening, and ordered its removal to an
undertaker’s where an autopsy will be
nerformed by Deputy-Coroner Marsh, to
day.
The deceased, who was of Irish birth,
came to this country several years ago,
and is said to have been married to a rep
utable citizen who abandoned her about
a year ago.—New To^Jc Tribune.

A Tale sf tbe Sea—Two of tlie Men of
the Lost Steamer MissoarL
The Jacksonville Republican gives an
oooonnt of the finding by Captain Gid
eon Low, of the sea boat “Ebenezer,”
on Grand Key Island, two of the men
from ihe los steamer Missouri.
The captain was hunting on the island
and discovered a hut. Near the hut he
saw what he supposed to be a dead maa,
bat on a nearer approach the person
.raised nimsel: with great effort on his
elbow, and giving a vacant stare, he ut
tered, “Thank Grod, at last! I thong 1
my last hour had come.” Near by was
the dead body of the other man.
i hey left the Missouri on the 22d day
of October, and, after many perils in
leaky boat, landed on the island. They
subsisted on spiders, crabs, snails and
prickly pears. On tne seventh day after
iandu-g, one uitfi. name was not
known, but the letters A. S. were marked
on his arm. The living one, by name
Bichard Smith, was taken on board the
captain’s vessel, and proper treatment
soon restored him to his natural health,
and. the Ebentzc-r being obliged to pnt
back on account of storms, he was left
3.z Grteu Turtle Kej. in charge oi toe
ueputy A-tatric t: C maul, who forwarded
him to Nassau, Nqw Providence. He
was on ihe island sixteen-days.
Thii is the same Smith im account of
whose sufferings and safety was recant}*'

Matrimonial Trouble;,
“The course of true love never runs
smooth.” So says the adage. If that-
maxim is true there must be alarge quan
tity of true love “laying around loose” in
this region. At least such a fact is indi
cated by the frequent complaints entered
before the magistrates recently. The
chain of wedlock seems to gall not a few
who would fain loose or break their
shackles and be free as once they w< re.
Most of these are of the colored class,
who in many iustancss “agree to dis
agree,” and come before a magistrate to
adjudicate their differences.
Magistrate Hart listened to such a com
plaint yesterday, but tbe identyof the
party is not disclosed in deference to the-
high toned feeliDg of the family. Tne
twain had been joined in one flesh but u
tew months ago and things went a ong as
smoothly as an eel through the mud,
when suddenly a mothet-in-law, or some
thing else, interposed and raised Satan.
The latter power subsequently prevailed '
until the unhappy cunj-le ’’rranged a
separation.—Savannah Advertiser. '
