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.

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 THE CHRISTIAN INDEX. A.tlauta, Groorgia.
