A Double Murder.
Louis Sommcrfieid, a Pole, aged fifty-two,
to-day shot nnd instantly killed bis wife and
Gottlieb Eisenbnnm, at the latter's saloon,
in tlie northeastern part of the city. 8om-
merfield’s wife, it appears, left him some
weeks ago, and has since been living at Eis-
cnbanm's. Eisenbanm was a son-in-law of
Mrs. Sommerfield. Various reasons arc as
signed for tho tragedy, tint a bottle of whis
ky found in Koimm riiehl's pocket when ar
rested was probably the moat recent and di
rect cause,
Summcrficld lmd attempted to kill his
daughter, tho wifo of Eisenbaum, und it was
in protecting licr from her father that
Eisenbnnm met his death. The murderer
was lazy, brutal und vicious. He refused to
work, and for the last two or three yean
had subsisted on the fruits of bis wife's la
bor, spending most of the profits for drink.
Becoming tirtsf of liis brutality, his wifo
sought shelter of Iter daughter and son-in-
law's home, and it was out of revenge
that be committed tho deed, Mrs. Eisen
baum, nfter her narrow escape, was taken
with a fit of nervous prostration, and as
she is about to become a mother, her condi
tion is considered critical.
Tlio President's Order Ignored,
Tho reports of special agents of the Gen'
cral Land Office indicate that little or no
attention was paid by cattlemen who had
illegally inclosed public lands to the Presi
dent's message of last summer command
ing removal of fences. Commissioner
Sparks lias to-day sent about forty letters to
tlio Secretary of the Interior, each letter
specifying and describing an illegal enclos
ure of public lands, giving tho name of the
holder or holders, and each recommending
tlint the mntter be brought to the attention
of the Attorney-General, with a view to the
institution of civil and criminal proceedings
for trespass against tho offenders. General
Sparks also recommend* that these cases be
laid before tho President, with the request
that ho exercise the authority conferred
upon him by Congress in the- matter. Tho
net ot Congress confers power to make use
of the military to secure tlio removal of the
fences.
A Morin of Grasshoppers
Helena, Akk., November 20.—The citi
zens of Helena were aroused at an early
iioflr yesterday morning by what many of
them at first thought to be a very heavy
rain storm, and on looking out they were
surprised to hoc a clear sky tilled with what
appeared to be snowllakes and not rain, that
was battering with such force against roofs
and windows of the bouses. Investigation
proved that the air was tilled with grass
hoppers. Citizens who have seen the
dreaded pests sweep down nnd consume
whole fields in Kansas say that in numbers
the visitation last night exceeds anything
ever seen In that country ten-fold. They
were passing from east to west. Great
numbers of them were disabled .by bitting
against balconies and other obstructions, as
they W( re flying very low, and porters anil
clerks lmd to shov.l them from the side
walks into the streets. They are the genu
iue Kansas grasshoppers.

Szod, pastor of the Hanover Street syna
gogue, the most influential in the city, was
particularly severe in his strictures, and tho
official body bos taken action looking to
the severance of its connection with the
association of Hebrew congregations by
which the Jewish sen inary at Cincinnati is
supported. There is a great deal of bitter
feeling between both orthodox nnd reform
ed Hebrews over the assertion made that
tho rite of circumcision is a relic of bar

God is old fashioned and should be abol
ished.

The dependence of the Tories, he said, on
the Irish voters was unsafe, and was dis
honorable to the country.
Mr. Gladstone advocated a radical reform
of the land and lawa. He regretted the seces
sion of a few Liberal peers. Their depar
ture from the Liberal ranks, he said, would
not barm the party, but it would barm the
House of Lords, ns it would induce the
>eople to believe that the abolition of that
>ody was necessary.

June 16,1884. Bradstreets printed in their
circular (which is ciicnlatcd in Montreal and

Novel Methods Displayed hy a Birmingham
Housebreaker.
Birmingham Cablegram to Boston Herald.
A man named John Sturgess was yester
day charged before a magistrate here with
burglary. His story to as romantic as that
of the hero of a novel, “Paved with Gold,”
who was a gentleman housebreaker. Star
less was arrested at midnight in a house nt
liromwieh, a suburb of this city. A wed
ding bad just taken place in the house. The
bridegroom was aroused from his simp and
found Sturgess making off with his wed
ding presents. The burglar attempted to
usenispistol, but relented from his pur
pose on seeing the bride. The police yes
terday morning searched bis cottage at
Aston, another suburb, where tbe middle-
aged burglar lived wbat appeared to be a
most respectable life. liis son nail
daughter,’ who were ignorant of bis noctur
nal habits, are both well employed
in this city, Seack discovered m in
genious hiding places wbat the polico re
turn describes as an enormous quantity of
new plated and silver goods, jewelry and
knick-knacks. The burglar was noted for
the assiduous manner in which he attended
the churches and chapels hero on Sundays,
nnd for the apparently steady life which he
led. It now appears that the burglary of
houses where weddings ha l taken place was
his specialty, and that ho stole
tho wodding presents when the in
mates were off their guard. His love for
attending church turns out to have been
caused by his desire to hear the banns pub
lished, so that he might get tbe earliest in
formation on weddings, also to lull any
suspicion that might arise about his habits.
Much of tbc property discovered baa been
claimed, and there is proof enough against
the burglar to send bim into penal servi
tude for the rest of bis natural life. His
family and neighbors were utterly astound
ed, for his religious observances bad often
served as a cloak for concealing crimes
which varied in their shades of depravity.
A HIGH-PRICED ROOF.
Wlmt It Cost a Pennsylvania Man Not to
Use Bed Faint.
Westchester. Pa.. Special.
Robert Bryan, the traveling painter of
roofs, who eloped with llachie Kennedy
yesterday, was a man who knew his busi
ness. He took a contract to paint every
roof in New London bnt one and that be
longed to William Kennedy, the father
of the bride. At the time Bryan applied
to Mr. Kennedy for the job of painting
his roof bo was somewhat rndeiy expelled
by that house-owner. As he tnrned away
disappointed and angry he saw Miss Ken-
nedy at tho window and vowed that he
wonld combine revenge and love by marry
ing the girl.
A few nigbto after tbe roof painter met
the yonng tody at the rink nnd charmed
her with bis gyrations. 8be would have
eloped with him next day, but he declined
the sacrifice as he had not been paid for the
tainting ho had done and he wished to flu
sh tbe job. On Monday everything was
ready, and Mr. Kennedy's roof looked grimy
compared with the bright red roots of IxCs
neighbors.
Then it wsa that Mr. Kennedy agreed to
,ve Bryan tbe job, bxt the painter ref used.
_e sold his hone and buggy to a hostler on
Saturday and borrowed them on Monday.
Cautiously dropping an nnd by tho Kennedy
mansion lie fonnd Bachie ready for him,
and together they spun down to Philadel
phia and were married. Then they com
i nued on to Ohio, to the bridegroom's
former home. The Kennedys belong to the
first circles.
