A Chamber Slaughter.
Philadelphia has lately been shocked by a
ghastly spectacle, which possessed some unu
sual features, and which fell upon the family
immediately interested with the eternal blight
of blood. Edward Schusretter was a native
of Vienna, Austria, and twenty-eight years of
age. He came to Philadelphia several years
ago, and his various accomplishmeuts soon
made him a large circle of friends. He was a
well educated and a very prepossessing young
man, spoke several languages with fluency,
was a fine musician, and a member of several
musical and singing societies; yet there seems
to have been a terrible discord somewhere in
his constitution, which was only wait
ing for a good opportunity to break
out his life like a cancer, and drag him down
to death. He was a mechanic in fine steel
work, and sober and industrious, and, to all
appearance, amiable. In May last he asked a
thrifty shopman, named Edward Herring, for
the hand of his beautiful daughter, and Her
ring gave his daughter away to Schusretter,
with ms blessing and a housekeeping oufit.
The couple were married in a Catholic church
iu the latter part of May, and set up their es
tablishment in a part of Herring’s house.
All their many friends supposed that Mr. and
Mrs. Schusretter were the very happiest
young married couple in the city, aud they
were certainly the last pair to suggest a great
TuMieetic tragedy. It appears, however,
that Schusretter was a morbidly jealous
man. He was known to have com
plained unreasonably of the respectful ad
miration which his beautiful wife could not
help exciting, and he seemed jealous of her
shadow because it was so near her. She was
a good girl, and a true wife, but she had an
old beau w ho visited her sometimes after her
marriage. Yet Schusretter’s household was
pure. There could be no doubt about that.
He came home one day to dinner, and passed
through his father-in-law’s carpet store, hum
ming a German air and looking perfectly
happy. He lighted a cigar with Mr. Herring,
passed some pleasant words, and skipped up
stairs to his apartments. The family ate din
ner, Mrs. Schusretter tending store while her
father took his dinner, and then she returned
to her rooms. Neither Schusretter
nor his wife came to supper as
usual, but the circumstance excited no par
ticular remark. Ten o'clock eaifte, and as
everything was quiet in their apartments,
Mr. Hernng went in to see if they were there.
He found Schusretter, covered with blood and
dead, on the floor, with a razor in his hand
and a porter bottle at his side. The bed was
covered with blood, bnt he had not been
bleeding. In the next room Mrs. Schusretter
was found with her head almost severed from
her body, the floor and walls and furniture
around her spotted with blood, and the
whole scene like a slaughter-house. No noise
had been made to attract the attention of
others in the house. There those two life
less bodies lay butchered. The porter
bottle at Schusretter’s side contained the
dregs of a deadly poison. He had got it from
a shelf in the kitchen. It had originally
been intended for the destruction of bogs.
The theory is tnat Schusretter cut bis
wile’s head off with a razor so suddenly that
she could utter no cry, and probably held
her in his arms while she was bleeding to
death. He then went to the kitchen and got
the bug poison, drank it down, and threw
himself on the bed reeking with the blood of
his murdered wife. In his death struggles he
is supposd to have rolled off on the floor,
where he expired. His face was much dis
torted,, and gave signs of a terrible agony.
The poison was found in bis stomach. The
nearer particulars of this dark tragedy will
never be known. They are locked iu the
chamber of death, and the key is lost. Bat the
blight of blood has fallen upon the father and
mother of that beautiful girl, and it must soon
wither up their lives. It is feared the father
will go mad, and the mother is nearly all the
time unconscious, and seems to be complete
ly enveloped by the shadows of the dark
ualley.
An Elopement in High Life.
A DAUGHTER OF THE HOX. JOHN C. SHOEMAKER
CAPTURED BY A YOUNG MAN NAMED SCRAP—
THE RAGE OF THE OUTWITTED PARENT.
From the Indianapolis Herald, August 3.
Like death, love is no respecter of persons.
It strikes the palatial residence of the lordly
North Ender quite as readily as the humble
cot on Maple street.
Most of our readers are familiar with the
genial features of the Hon. John C. Shoe
maker, the ex-State official, he shrewd finan
cier, at present proprietor of the Sentinel,
and once widely known on account of the pro
duct of his peach brandy vineyard in South
Indiana. Mr. Shoemaker ought to bo a
happy man. He has a good bank ac
count and easy digestion, an elegant
residence iu an aristocratic portion of
the city, and all the comforts of
life. Bat we all have our troubles, and Mr.
Shoemaker’s grief came in a shape it was
least expected. Among his other jewels he
had a handsome and accomplished daughter
named Mary, who was the joy and pride of her
father’s heart and an ornament to the circle in
which she moved. There is nothing distress
ing in tJiis; on the contrary, quite the re
verse. But Miss Mary took it in her head to
look with favor on a youth from the rural dis
tricts, whose real name we do not remember,
but who is known among his friends and as
sociates by the unpoetical name of “Scrap.”
Mr. Scrap dressed creditably, was passably
good looking, and was not wantiDg in that ag
gressive quality which by some is called
“dash,” or enterprise, and by others cheek.
To the average young lady there seemed to be
the making of a good husband in Scrap, but
somehow or other he didn’t strike the Hon.
John C. favorably. Perhaps he had picked
out another husband lor Mary : perhaps he had
not sufficient confidence in Scrap’s financial
standing -but, at any rate, he turned the
frigid shoulder to the erotic suitor, and when
matters began to look serious, forbade him
the house. This did not settle it. Scrap’s
enterprise had been aroused, and he was de
termined to marry Miss Shoemaker. Miss
Shoemaker’s feminine perversity had been
aroused, and her love for Scrap glowed with
tenfold lnry. A perfidious African domestic
consented to act as a go-between, ond a regu
lar correspondence was maintained. Finally,
determined to bring matters to an issue, and
arrayed in his best, he made a formal call on
the Hon. John C., and wa3 waited out of that
gentleman’s office on the toe of a No. 7 boot.
Scrap had only called on the Governor as a
matter of form. The wedding bad been ap
pointed anyhow, and he simply thought it
would be courtesy to ask the father to witness
the ceremony. So, after being kicked out of
Mr. Shoemaker’s office, he furbished up his
cheek and went straightway to the Shoemaker
mansion, to report progress and consult.
After fuming a little, as soon as the kicking
was over, Mr. Shoemaker bethought him of
Scrap’s cheek, and thought that it woald be
just like him to go to the house. Mr. Shoe
maker drove his hat hard down over his eyes,
seized his staff and started home. Sure
enough, there he was—that impudent Scrap-
sitting in the parlor with the weeping Mary
by his side, and recounting the indignities to
which he had been subjected. The Hon. John
C. bnrst like a thunder cloud on the confer
ence, and, diving into an adjoining room,
soon emerged with a revolver on lull cock in
his hand. Mary screamed and threw her fair,
white arms about his neck, and besought him
not to shoot, and Scrap, with quiet dignity,
backed out and withdrew.
Mary was put under strict surveillance.
She was not allowed to go anywhere without
some trustworthy member of the family to
act as a “sheep dog,” and was compelled to
sleep every night in her mother’s room.
The Hon. John, having a wholesome respect
lor Scrap’s cheek, deemed it advisable to put
a detective on his track to note his move
ments and report it anything serious was
contemplated. But all this time the letter-
carrier was unsuspected, and the little white
winged messengers flew back and forth be-
tweeu the sundered couple, conveying assur
ances of undying love, and hopes of an
early consummation of their fondest wishes.
A scheme for an elopement Monday night
was perfected, but by some treachery the
Hon. John got wind of it, and was enabled to
frustrate it. On Tuesday, however, Miss
Mary managed to pack a large Saratoga
trunk with two or three thousand dollars'
worth of “nothing to wear.” and had it se
cretly conveyed to a safe place, where it could
be procured when wanted.
The Hon. John, however, was not idle. It
hasn’t been long enough since he was a young
man himself for him to forget entirely the
tricks and subterfuges to which they will re
sort when there is a young woman in the case,
and he was apprehensive and uneasy. His
detectives shadowed Scrap Tuesday night, and
kept an eye on him until he was seen to go to
bed and blow out the light This was report
ed to the Hon. John, and he felt easier. Miss
Mary also retired at the nsual hour, and soon
was sleeping the apparent sleep of the just.
This was also encouraging. Worn ont with
watching, find thinking the catastrophe had
been averted for another day at least, Mr.
Shoemaker himself retired and fell into deep
sleep, out of which the clarion voice of the
matatinal cock failed to arouse him.
A little before midnight Scrap rose quiotly,
dressed himself, went out, listened, heard
nothing, peered here and there, saw nothing,
and finally made his way to a point where an
honest backman was quietly dozing on his
seat Scrap got into the vehicle and was
driven to the Shoemaker mansion. A slender
female form, all palpitating and tremulous,
emerged from the mansion and entered the
vehicle in which the expectant Scrap was
waiting. Coachee, sitting on his box outside,
heard a rattling volley of noises, sounding
like the drawing of a half dozen champagne
corks in succession. Then there came a long-
drawn sigh, and the vehicle drove to the res
idence of a minister of the gospel, where the
knot was hastily tied. A rapid drive to the
depot took the party there in time for the
train, and, bone of one bone and flesh of one
flesh, they sped to the West.
We draw a veil over the rage of the out
witted parent when he awoke in the morning
and found that the bird had flown.
Suicide and Attempted Murder.
AN AFFAIR OF JFALOUSY.
George Lahr and Joseph Schneider, room
mates in a boarding house in New York, had
a difficulty about a young woman to whom
both of them were attentive. Schneider had
been in bed several hours, when Lahr came in
Thursday morning about one o’clock. The
New York Herald says Schneider was awak
ened by a sharp stinging pain across his
face. Putting his hands up suddenly to the
place that annoyed him he got cut across the
knuckles. This alarmed him, and he jumped
out of bed. Once upon the floor, with his
senses all aroused and alive to the danger he
stood in for his life, ho began to move cau
tiously. The apartment was intensely dark
and he could not perceive anything. His as
sailant, however, he soon realized. Some
one was making an effort to kill him—breath
ed so hard that Schneider could distinctly
hear every pulsation. The wounds on his
face and hands were forgotten, and every arti
fice and cunning of the man’s nature were
put out to keep off the would-be murderer.
As Schneider jumped from his bed, the as
sassin drew back, and this movement placed
the men in the very worst position they could
possibly be for each other. Lahr had his
>ack against the wall, towards which the head
of Schneider’s bed was turned, and Schneider
was between him and the windows. The lit
tle light given by the street lamps was suffi
cient to mark the outline of Schneider’s body,
and his assailant seemed to thoroughly un-
Iderstand the situation and the power he had
over his victim. Beiog deprived of the ben
efit of his eyes, Schneder became all ears, and
without moving an inch he listened atten
tively. He heard Lahr stoop or crouch down
close beside the bed, and then he compre
hended an attack on him was intended. Get
ting close to the stove, which stood on the
right hand side of the room, he held himself
in such a position that he could easily spring
over it when Lahr got too near him.
These plans were not amiss, for a very few
seconds elapsed before Lahr did make a dash
at him. Schneider rushed to the next room,
and, pulling vigorously at the door, shouted
Murder !” Lahr, evidently fearing his vic
tim would escape, palled his pistol and fired.
The ball struck the wall of the corner room,
but Lahr, thinking it had entered the body of
his friend, turned the muzzle of the fatal in
strument upon himself and fired. He tell
back upon the floor in a moment, and cunnot
recover Irom the effects ot the wound. Some
time ago Lahr announced his intention of go
ing to California, and showed several of the
people in the house a large horse pistol he had
bought to cross the plains w ith. A few days
after this, however, he told them he had chang
ed the long pistol for a small one, and he had
postponed his journey West. This story is
now believed to have been a ruse to try the
effect on Schneider. Lahr was removed to
the Belleview Hospital, and died suddenly
Thursday night.
The young lady at the bottom of this mel
ancholy affair is said to be singularly prepos
sessing and intelligent. She is not a German,
but a native born, and, it is feared, had no se
rious feeling for either.

The Harmony, Pennsylvania,
Suicide.
STATEMENT OF KATE FRAZIER.
Some six weeks ago an account was pub
lished of the suicide of John Frazier, at Har
mony, Pennsylvania, who at the same time
attempted to kill a young lady, Kate Faul-
stick, with whom he had eloped from Wheel
ing, West Virginia. She professes to have
been the wife of Frazier. At the lime, from
the wound received, and her nervousness, she
was unable to make a statement. She said:
seventeen years old: was born and
raised in Wheeling, West Virginia; my mai
den name was Kate Faulstick; was married
to deceased in Pittsburg eight weeks ago; but
I do not know who married me; left Pittsburg
and came to Rochester July 5th; left there on
Wednesday following, but did not know where
we was to go; my husband bought a pistol be
fore we started; we took the road to Harmo
ny; stopped several times on the way; at one
place we stopped, we were sitting under a
shade tree, when my husband discharged the
pistol; do not think he shot at me; next place
we stopped at a farm house and got dinner;
did not pay for it; do not know tnat he had
any money; I saw him have eighty dollars at
Pittsburg; this was the only money I seen
him have; we got to Zelianople at 10 o’clock
at night, bnt could get no lodging;
hotels full; % came to Harmony and
stopped at Abram Shontz’s hotel, af
ter 10 o’clock, Wednesday night, stayed until
Friday morning at about 10 o’clock; we were
both lying on the bed; Frazier had the pLtol
in his hand; I told him to be careful, he
might shoot; he said that he would not hurt
me; I then closed my eyes, aud at the same
moment he fired the-pistol ball into my fore
head. I got from the bed as quick as I could,
the blood streaming over my face, and went
to the door; he was standing near it when he
told me not to go ont; I got the door open
which was locked, and ran down the stairs,
when after two or three minutes heard the
second report; I said he had shot himself,
I thought, although I had never heard him
make any threats of the kind; I did not go
up stairs for near half an hour afterwards;
the men refused to let me go at first; I finally
went up; found him lying » ti his back, the
pistol lying on his breast; h • was conscious
but could not speak. I am satisfied that he
intended to kill himself, and that lie caine to
his death by his own hands.
Miraculous Preservation of a
Baby.
From the Missouri Republican.
A Mrs. King had a surprise at Shawnee-
town, 111., the other day. It was an accident
that Mrs. King happened to be at Shawnee-
town. She did not intend to go there, but
the steamboat Jennie Howell, on which she
was traveling, struck a snag and sank in the
Ohio river. Several of the passengers
were drowned, and among them some child
ren. Mrs. King had a child on board whom
she mourned as lost, and w as taken to Shaw-
neetown without her babe. The Jennie How
ell sunk deep in the water, and the next
morniog men went out to the vessel to re
cover the bodies of the lo3t. Soon after day
light a mattress was discovered float
ing in the cabin, which was filled with
water nearly or quite to the ceiling. Up
on examination a child, a littlo boy, was
discovered on the mattress sleeping as peace
fully as if nothing unusual bad happened.
His bed was not very dry, for it had sunk a
good deal from soaking, but still sustained its
living freight. In due time the child was
sent to bhawneetown. where the other pas
sengers had been landed the evening belorc.
Its coming made an excitement among the
wrecked travelers, for more than one mother
had lost children by the disaster. It was a
touching scene when Mrs. King recognized
the child as her boy, whom she mourned as
lost for nearly twenty-four hours. The pres
ervation of Moses in the bullrushes was not
so miraculous as the safety of Mrs. King's
boy. He bad been tossing about on the waste
of waters in the cabin all night, and was
brought to his mother alive in the hour of her
deepest aflliclion
