Abont foar o'clock thU morning Henry Yoang sad hit wife, next door neighbor!, were arotuod by piercing ecreame* leaning from the apartment* occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Compton. The eereama were thoee of e woman evidently in great agony. Yoang eammoned help and broke in the door. Lying on the floor, clad only in ber night dreee, waa Mrs. Compton, in a pool of blood and blood wae still flowing from a gaping wonnd in the throat. Just behind the door of an inner room stood Frank Cc mpton, the murderer, hia throat also cat. He held in hie hand a butcher knife, with whioh the crime had been committed. Blood was dropping from the knife and blood was also flowing from tbe wound in hia throat. He awore he would kill the it rat person who dared te enter. Mr. Young and hia ootnpaniona then fled. During their absence Compton endeavored to enter Mr. Young's house, but Mrs. Young succeeded in keeping him out. Compton lingered until 7 o'clock, when he died in great agony. Tl u murderer took hia own life in the in • r room. He made two attempts, the 1 it one being successful. After killiLK i.i« wife and ii.flicticg the first wound upon his own throat, Cemptoa wrote a message upon a slate. It is said thut Compton bad Dot the slightest ground for bisiDsane jealous'y of bin young wife. fflllMltm, May 90.—Frank Coaoptoa killed hia wile,Don, a* WeetKtteton title morning, aid then eat hia own throat dying two boon later.

Bonner ia ohargea are by no means aa grave aa thay an peculiar. He la charged with nttering falaehooda and here ia a ■ample of one tale credited to him. Three year* ago a member of hia congregation died and the miniater waa preeent at the time of death. Later he related to the sorrowing friend* how he had seen the floor of the room open and a troop of white robed beingi enter. They atayed bat a ahort time, bnt were succeeded by a oompany of beautiful children, who alao came into the room through the floor. He further etated that a member of the church the eame nignt had gone to Greenwood Cemetery in thie oity and had stolen » skeleton,whioh ghaatly relic he brought to the home of the deceaaed and frightened a young lady very badly, when it waa discovered. It seema that no one else preeeDt at the time the member died saw these things, though the pastor's belief is unshaken. To the committee of the Lutheran Synod sent to investigate the charges of falsehood he repeated the stories, saying that nothing could oause him to change his mind on the subject. He is also charged with obtaining money from one of the ladles church societies by making false representations. President Knnkleman, of the Synod, notified him of hia auapenaion until Anguat, but he haa declared that he will preach and haa refuaed to give up the keya of the church. Tbia morning he had service* aa usual, notwithstanding the fact that the Trnsteea of the ohurch forbade it. An injunction from tbe court will be aaked for to-morrow by the officers of the church restraining him preaching until August- Rev. Bonner says some of the members have been unfair to him, »nd that President Kunkleman's order v>»« irregular and not in accordance with the rnlea governing the depoaition of minutera in the Synod.

Jefkersonville, Ikd., May 26.—The story reaches here that at Muddy Fork yesterday Stanton Jackson and Lake Warman, two young mtn of that place, were praotioing with a yarn ball which they were pitching to each other. They saw a huge bawk passing over them, bat paid no attention to the bird, as they are plentiful in that vicinity. Warman asked Jackson to pitch him a carve ball. Jackson complied, and sent the sphere with all his speed. Suddenly the hawk spread its wings and made a tremr i dous swoop straight for the ball as it waB passing through the air. He caught it handsomely on the fly and sailed off with it. Some of the yarn had become unwound, and Warman, snatching at the floating end, canght it as the hawk flew off. But the hawk would not let go and swallowed the ball. As he flew higher the yarn unwound rapidly, with Warman still clinging to the end. When the boys made the ball they had tied one end of the yarn to a large button. When all the yarn un wound this button stack fast in the hawk's craw, and both boys, palling on the string, brought the hawk flattering to the groand. They cut the yarn i ff in hi* month, and he is now alive in a cage on the Warman place. MUST BE SOLD. Bkookville, Pa. <tt Low Price*. 30,000 Tnrd* of Carpet Are Oircrai) Gutiirik, Okla., May 26.—E. A. "Weed, claimant to a lot on First and Harrison streets, also claimed by Mr. Hayes, en. gsged a large force of men and began thia morning to ereot a bnilding over and around the otherclaimant. The aggrieved party was soon reinforced by a large party of friends and idlers who were standing around the street corners. At first a protest was made against bnilding on tbe Sabbath day. This of course was done to engage the sympathy of the crowd which had oolleoted, whioh numbered by this time 500 persons. After the contestants had engaged in a wordy quarrel, and at a preconcerted signal, the frame of the building, which oonsiated ol' the floor, beams and foundation Bills, was pioked up by tke crowd and carried into the street. In do ing this part of the men carrying tbe frame in walking backwards stumbled over a pile of lumber and men and timbers were piled in a confused mass. While the disturbance waa at ita heights U. S. Marshal Needle* arrived »pd commanded the crowd to disperse. Ha waa opposed by argument by aome of the leaden. Ha at once secretly seat a messenger for the troops, • J>»lf mile distant. Aa soon aa the blue coats were seen coming on a double qnick tbe turbulent element quieted down, and in fire minutes the oarpentera were at work, with the military under Lt. Roe formed in a hollow square around the site of the proposed strnoture. One man named John Gilohrist was clubbed by a soldier for not obeying tbe sentinel's orders. Armless and Legleaa £)R. W.F.

Panama, May 16.—The unfortunate consequences of the canal smash are becoming more marked every day, and the deplorable condition of affaira haa but one outlet, and that by emigration. The commissioner 9ent by the Jamaica Government has already sent away 4,000 people, and he has issued tiokets for 3,000 more, and these will leave by earliest ateamers. The people are congregating at the different depots with their tickets in their hands, but without food and almost without shelter, and a tropical wet season is in its fall energy. After all the distressed foreigners shall have been removed there will he much suffering and want here—suffering and want of a character whioh cannot be even ameliorated until the resumption of work in January next shall have put money in circulation and inspired oonil denoe. In Colon prices have fallen lower than anywhere else on the Isthmus. Many houses are without tenants. A store for which |200 a month oould readily have been obtained a few months ago ia offered at $30 and "no taken." To illnatrate the awful poverty reigning here, a clergyman of Colon says that on Sunday last the col lection of a congregation of 1,000 peraons was less than $3. The canal oompat y sold in this city on May 13 a cable tranafer on Paria for (20,000 at the rate of 53} per cent, premium. Thia fact furnishes at least a quotation for exobange. When the City of Prra leaves Colon there will be no steamer in that port—a circumstanoe almost unparallelled in the history of the port sii.ce it waa first visited by steamers and became known 1>» tbe name of Aapinwall. The Chilian Government, it is re ported, has determined to order, for immediate delivery, ten 45 too Krnpp guns for the defense of tbe ooaat.

"Washington, May 26 — Commissioner qf Pensions Tanner yesterday accorded a bearing to representative* of a olass of pensioner* who lost both an arm and a leg in the service, one or both near the body. The present rating for snch disability varies fro u $36 to $50 per month according to the degree of disability incurred, and the pensioners of this olass, of whom tbey are said to be about 20, insist that they shonld be rated at {72 per month.
