He Butchers a Young Bride and Washington, May 18.—Mrs. Sarah E. Allen, a school teacher in the Jefferson school building in South Washington, was shot and killed by her husband, Oswald C. Allen. Allen then shot and killed himself. There had been some difficulty between the pair, and they had not lived together for some time. The tragedy occurred in the school building. Allen hired a cab on Pennsylvania avenue, and told the driver to take him to the Jefferson building. Upon arriving there he alighted and told the driver to wait until he wanted him. Then he walked up the stone steps and passed through the hall into the school room, adjoining the room where his wife was engaged as a teacher. He showed himself to her and beckoned her to the door. She came toward him. As she reached the threshold of the cloak room he drew a pistol and shot her in the left temple. Turning the pistol then upon himself, he shot himself through the right temple.

Secretary Windom sided with the attorney general, and responded to Judge Durham's request for a hearing by peremptorily informing him that his resignation, tendered pro forma some time previously, had been accepted.New York, May 18.—Wall street has regained some of its old spirit. T'ua Stock Exchange has real life again. Months of dullness and stupor, with no glory but in r mini cence, were rounded off with a liveliness worthy to be compared almost to tha best of the historic daya Wall street had a "corner." Newark, N. J., May 18.—Murder in one of its most brutal forms has been committed In the basement of a tenement house at No. 14 Alyea street The victim was Mrs. Savllla Schertzer, wife of John Schertzer, a sign painter, a rather young and comely woman, who had been married to Schertzer only twelve days. Her assailant was Heinrich Hinckle, and immediately after stabbing her until he thought she was dead he turned his knife upon himself and made a desperate and probably successful attempt to end his own life.

Lee, who had been called in consultation before Bishop's death, were summoned before Coroner Levy. It was hard.y a corner to ba celebrated years hence, perhaps, in Commodore Vanderbilt's famous coup in Harlem, or even beside John Duff's later pyrotechnics in Hannibal and St Joseph. But it was a corner for all that, and quite a respectable corner, too, so far as its financial and speculati -e consequence was concerned. And some of the most notable of Wall street's latter day worthies were caught in it, squeezed in it and left by it rather the worse for wear, limp and forlorn. BASEBALL. League.

Acheson, who represented Mrs. Eleanor Fletcher Bishop, and who was also authorized by District Attorney Fellows to represent his office, then astonished the three doctors who had performed the autopsy by asking for their arrest on one of two charges, either the misdemeanor of miking an autopsy without the {consent of the relatives or the felony of manslaughter, in case it should appear that death was caused by the surgeon's knife.

In another moment, however, it had yielded and opened upon a eight that caused the officers to pause upon the threshold in horror. Flat on her face lay a woman, apparently 22 years of age, her hair and clothing disheveled and wet with her life blood. By her skie lay the body of a man, apparently dead, with blood issuing from a terrible series of gashes in the throat His limbs were also blood stained from wounds in the groin. A small bed in one corner of the room and the wall near it were spattered with blood. The woman's struggle for her life had evidently been terrible one. Scene of the Tragedy.

Appointed from Iowa by President Lincoln, Justice Miller is the sen or justice of the court and has passed the age which entitles supreme court judges to reure at will on full pay. Judge Miller is still in full vigor of his intellect and is regarded by the bar as the ablest lawyer on the supreme bench, but his health has been giving him some trouble of late and admonishing him of the need of a rest He favors as his successor ex-Judge George W.
