A PAItM IIOIIHK TKAIIKOV. A Crmi'il fftiNlmiHl Murder* III* Young Wife ami lllniHolf -Locked In Each Other’* Arum. Last Saturday’s Morning Newt con tained a brief statement of the farm hou-e tragedy at. Jsrsuyjown. Columbia county, Penn. The following account is taken from the Philadelphia l*reu of tho 15th : “The quiet farming village of .Jersey town, Columbia county, is stirred to its depths by an awful orituc. William Run yan, a prosperous young farmer, at least nine days ago out the throat of his re cently wedded wife and, taking her bleed ing body in Itis arms, uut his own. Lick ed in the bloody embrace of death, their deoomposed bodies were discovered only yesterday afternoon. There is every in dication that the slayer of his wife and himself was the victim of hereditary in sanity. Tho tragedy brings grief into some of the best families of the county. “William Runyan was mariiod last Mnrch to a daughter of C. Kramer, an extensive lumber merchant, und an own er t,f over I,IXX) acres of the best land iu the county. He is now engaged in busi ness iu Jorsoytown. The young oouplo wore given a farm two milos outside ol tho village by the wife s wealthy father. Ro far as neighborhood gossips knew, they lived happily. On Wednesday af ternoon of last week tlioy visited the hottso of Mr. Kramor, tlio wife’s father, and alter making some purchases at the store in Jorseytown, returned to their home. “It i an appalling commentary upon the isolated life which even tlio more prosperous of the lartners lead, that sinoc that time, though nothing had been seen of them, their absunoc wus unnoticed un til yesterday afternoon A brother of Mrs. Runyan, the murdered wife, went to the house tho day alter their visit to Jorseytown ; but, as he found tho house looked, lie supposed they wore making it visit, and returned to Itis homo. Day after day passed; the house was silent, and told no title to a casual passer. The cows moaned for fond in tho burn; other live stock rosined unto tide 1 in the fields. “Yesterday, however, a neighbor no ticed that (he horses and cuttle were hud died together in the pasture during a heavy ruin. He knew that William Run yan was a careful fat liter, und much per plexed, lie went to the house. It was looked. Almost dazed, the neighbor went to the burn, where lie found the cattle dead and chained in tlioir stalls. Their ribs stood gauntly out; they bud evidently starved. “Thoroughly alarmed, he dragged a ladder to the house, and planted it against the siding. Mounting to a second story window, ho found husband and wife lyiug in bed looked in each other's arms, and covered with blood. Tbo man raised the window, but the bodies were in snob a state of decomposition that it was impossible to enter tho room. An alarm win sounded, and in u few hours the entire neighborhood wus urousod. Dr. Truit was tlie fir-t toenter tho room, but was ootupolled to return after having made the discovery that Mrs. Runyan’s throat was out. He could stay to leurn no more. This morning, however, sev eral persons entered the room. The dead wife lay folded in tho dead husband's arms. The bod was soaked with blood, whioh had oozed to the floor. “Evidently, a double luurdi r by any one who had enter, and the. bouse was im possible. It was plainly the work of an insane husband, and this was confirmed liy a memorandum lound in one o! his pockets, disposing of some of Ids and her personal e(foots, and stating that ho had committed the deed, and that the fami lies would find out why. Only a few days before the fatal Wednesday, while threshing in the barn, he told his brother that there would he a funeral before the week was out. A sister of tho murdered woman says that Mrs. Runyan told her that if ho was to die ha wanted her to die with him. “The condition of the room clearly in dicated that Runyan had cut his wife’s throat while she slept at his side. After murdering her lie rose and walked about the room, as there were bloody trucks all over the floor. Returning to tho bod, he had evidently clasped her body in his arms and then cut his own throat. No inquest has been held, nor is any likely to be held, as both families are satisfied that it is a ease of suicide and murder. Runyan's uncle and grandfather died by their own hands. His fattier, when told of the tragedy, said that ho ‘expected nothing else,’ as William had been ‘act ing strangely ol late.’ “Of course, the country people, filled with morbid curiosity, have beco flock ing to the gloomy house trow miles about. The wife will be buried separately to morrow by her parents, who are distract ed by grief. Kunyau’s family endure their sorrow with a kind of stolid despair. To-morruw’s funeral is expected to at tract crowds from the entire county.” Till-: LMIISLATIIIIK A.NII ITS VVOIIK. The legislature that closed its labors yesterday, was an unusually in-lustrums, painstaking body. If it left undone some things that it might have done, it had tho courage to kill many bills that would have worked a puhlio injury. It had to deal with rnuuh pithy legisla tion that seems, howevor, to have been demanded by Icoal exigencies, and it had to work against tho obstructive spirit and machinery ol tho constitution. Wo re grot that it did not pass the law providing for tax assessors, the bill establishing a school of technology, and the general dog law. These will come in time, however. The bill redislricting tho statu is a good one, the oapitol bill is wisely guarded, and liberal in its provisions, and the bill pro hibiting the i uniting of Suuday excursions is in the right direction, Indeed, this legislature seems to have east its influence in the direction of morality on all ooca sioos. W bile it failed to pass the general temperance bill, it did pass more than 70 special tenjporanee bills. We may have had more brilliant legislatures, and more progressive and liberal, but it js doubtful if wo ever liad a safer und more conscien tious one. Wo certainly never bad a more industrious one. 'i be members have been away from home and business more than four months. Not one duy of this time has been wasted, and the puy is wholly inadequate to the loss entailed hy their absence. For this service they are omi tied to the thanks of their constituents. — Atlanta Caiutuutuiu, 27 th ult. WASHINGTON NMVS.
