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.

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.

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.
