New Haven, Conjt., July 23—Miss Mat* tie Randall, the lf>-year-old daughter of Calvert Randall, a well-to-do farmer in the little town of Morris, jusl south of Litchfield, was brutally murdered to-day, under most revolting circumstances. She wasan only child, had been carefully educated and was the belle of the little oountry town. She was a blonde, of plump form rnd always bright and vivacious. On her father's farm has been employed a man named Charles Lock wood, a rougli, uncouth fellow of about 'JO years, who haft been working on the farm fur about a month, during haying and harvest. This morning about 10 o'clock, he told Mattie that her father wanted her to help ride the horse-rake in the hay lot. She suspected no harm, went with him. When the two were alone in the Held it is supposed that he insulted her, and, meeting with resistances shot her through the breast with a double-barreled shotgun, which he stole from Mr. Randall. After making sure that the girl wan dead, he went to the house, crept ujwtairs stole a suit of clothes and $£*>, and made good his escape. When Mattie did not return,'a search was made, and her father and brother fouud her body on the ground with a ghastly gun-shot wound as largo as silver dollar through her boaom. The infuriated townspeople are searching for Lock wood, and if he is caught, he will hardly escapa lynching. Later, we learn that Lockwood was caught and lynched. Nkw YorY, July 23.—The leap that cost Prof. Odium his life was made to-day without serious hijury. Stephen Brodiejumped from the Brooklyn bridge this afternoon into the East river. Shortly after 2 o'clock a lumber wagon was noticed passing over the bridge with two men on it. Something in the air of one of the men attracted the attention of Police Officers Lally of the bridge squad and he watched the wagon as it went on. When about 100 feet east of the New York tower and near the third lamp post one of the men stood up and took his coat oft'. He looked around carelessly and said to the driver:—"Well, here goes for luck." He stepped from the wagon to the rail, and without hesitating a second he jumped oft'. Less than twenty people were near at that time. The man fell down straight to the water, 120 feet below, striking in a bunch, but with his feet first. He sank from sight and reappeared a moment later with both hands at his chest as if in pain. A skirt' which was hovering near with some men in it rapidly came up and took the man iu. The boat w as pulled to the foot of Dover street and landed. In the meantime three police officers of the bridge squad hail run around and down to the pier. They arrested the man and took him to the Oak street station. He did not seem to be much injured by bis terrible fall and walked along without any assistance, followed by a mob of cheering boys and men. At the police station as soon as possible he was stripped of his wet clothes and some dry ones given him. Brodie is a well known boot-black, newsboy and pedeetrain It is said that the leap was the result of a wager of $1110 with some prominent sports. This is the first time that any one has made the jump from the Brooklyn bridge successfully. W M. GILLESPIE, ATTOItNEY-A T-LAIV, CLAYT1LLK PA.

Clrmit*N Tomb- Anna recovered her reason, and, thinking him dead, came to live with her father in America. Last fail a celebrated Germau doctor examined Herman, and, by trepanning, restored him to reason. He made inquiries about his betrothed, an d, discovering her location in Brooklyn,wrote to her and learned that she was free and loved him still. A week ;igo he reached America, and to-day's weddir g ended the story for the present. New Yohy, July 24.—Mayor Whitney, at this office in Brooklyn, inaried to-day, Herman Krause and Anna Eschenbach, Prussian medals decorated the groom's breast, and something unusal about their demeanor led to questioning which developed a romantic story. Herman and Anna lived at Friederichsan, on the Rhine, and he was 18 years old when the Franco-Prussian war broke out. He marched oft' to fight for the Vaterland, and his sweetheart rode after him in one of the wagons ot the Red Cross Hospital Corps. At Qravelotte, a fragmentof shell struck the man, and when the soldiers came around after the battle to bury the dead, he was put, in a shallow pit with 20 or ;t0 other bodies. Grief at the news of his death drove Anna out of her mind, and wandering on the battlefield she sought the pit in which he had been buried and dug out his body. Soldiers came upon her and forcibly carried her oil' to the hospital, whence she was Bent back to Germany,but they did not bother to reinter the body she had resurrected. That night it rained heavily, and Herman was revived by it. He was nursed back to life, but a portion of the skull pressing upon the brain made him insane.

Chicago, July 23.—A remarkable murder occured this afternoon at a new gas house on Salt street. John Boyer, a wellknown contractor, bad some difficulty with two of his workmen over a matter of wages. For the time being it was considered settled, but about 5 o'clock this afternoon it was resurrected and with deadly effect. Boyer was approached by a laborer named John James Henry. The wage quarrel was renewed. Boyer was requested to pay over a tripling sum. There was no one in the immediate vicinity of the men, and nothing was known of the aflair until Boyer drew back and struck Henry a powerful blow in the temple with his fist. He fell to the ground after exclaiming that he was killed. Several workmen rushed to where Henry was lying and endeavored to restore hi in to consiousuess, but their efforts were unavailing. Boyer, appalled at the result of his rashness, and realizing the probable punishment, hurriedly made his escape, and up to a late hour this evening was not captured. The already dead man was removed to the hospital. There the physicians pronounced him a corpse and he was removed to his home. An examination of the dead man showed no signs of a deadly blow having been struck. A little bine spot on the left temple was all that indicated where Henry han been hit. G A I.LATIN, Mo., July 23.—Joseph Jump was hanged hero in the presence ol> 20,000 people for the murder of ITm. C. Gladson, a bridge builder, oil the Island Railroad. Jump and John Smith were woodchoopers and killed Gladson for his money and threw the body into a well. Both were convicted and sentenced to hang to-day, and each made a written confession, from which it appeared that Jump was the instigator of the foul deed, and struck the fatal blow with a sickle bar. Governor Marmaduke therefore respited. Smith until August. 6. Jump ascended the scaffold smiling and in a brief speech said Smith was as guiHy as ho. He thou sail g "Washed in ths Blood of the Lamb" and "Is My Name Written There T" The trap was sprung at 2:44 and he was cut down in 'J4 minutes. His death was very agonizing, as his neck uas not broken. New York, July 23.—Cononel Fred Grant and a committee of four, of U. S. Grant Post G. A. R., were the ouly ones who formally honored the tomb of General Grant on the anniversary -of his death. The committee filled the interior of the toiab with rare plants and flowers and placed an elegant floral design at the head of the casket. Cononel Grant went inside the tomb and remained there some time. ■When he came ont he had a slip of ivy in his hand cut from a branch on the casket. As he departed a young conple left the group gathered about the tomb and follow, ed him down to the street, where the man overtook him and timidly asked him for a leaf of the ivy for his'wife. Cononel Grant, smiled with pleasure and gave them a generous slip from the branch in his hand. During the day flowers from Mr. Grant, Dr. and Mrs. Newman and others were left at the tomb. The contributions to the Grant monument fund, which were expected to be considerable on account of this being the annivesary of the General's death, amounted to exaotly nothing. DR. CHARLES D.

BELL, JUSTICE OF TBEVEACE, ClNcUfHTI, July 22.—A strange story comes from Bradford Junction concerning a farmer there. Simon Wilcox was formerly an enthusiastic chureli member, but. on Tuesday, when he surveyed the ruin of his crops wrought by a hail storm, ho begau to curse God for allowing sueli destruction, and vented a tirade of horrible blashemy. In the midst of the cun-us lie was suddenly stricken with paralysis, and could not leave tbespot. There hi.i neighbors found him, and their story is that they could not release him; that lie was surrounded by a circle of intense heat, and that when they tried to push him outside of it with a pole, the pole turned oil and that it was not until toward evening that the mysterious heat disappeared and he fell down, uuconscious, and was piked up a raving maniac. Arcanum, O., 25.—A mammoth snake was discovered and killed one mile west of this city this afternoon, and which is now on exhibition in the postoffice at Arcanum. The giant was first, seen by on6 of our most trusted citizens about 10 o'clock this forenoon. He immediately circulated the report, and a'formidable force of fellowtowns-men accompanied him to the spot where he saw it disappear, A circle was formed, which embraced several acres in extent and a cautious advance was then mamd toward a common center. After beating about the brush for some considerable time, his snakeBhip was finally seen by Capt. John W. Smith emerging from a low marshy spot grown over with flag, and immediately dispatched by him with the rod of his patent fire-extinguisher, which he. had taken along for the purpose of snbcuing tne flames, as they intended to fire the woods if they had not been successful otherwise. Fourteen vehicles, great and small, accompanied the procession back to town. Hundreds of people have gathered to see the largest snake ever beheld in this part of the State, and telephones from citizens of Greenville and surrounding towns say that they will visit Aroannm on to-morrow to view the boa.' Tbe snake is thirteen feetBeven and a half inches long, dark brown, with cream colored spots on the back, and a pale, greeni ish-looking belly. It measures thirty-one inches around in its greatest circumference and gradually tapers toward the tail. The head is large, being six and three-quarter inched across over the eyes, and a rather small neck for so large a head, it measuring only about threee inches. Terrible Tragedy Near Franklin, O.

"There is no proof that Pasteur lian ever oared a patient of hydrophobia, for there is no proof that he has ever had a hydrophobic patient. He has bulldozed hi* oountrymen.

Nkw York, July 20.—Henry Bergb. the man who prevents cruelty to animals in New York an vicinity, is taking an interest in the case of the young man, Harrold Newell, son of a Jersey City doctor, upon whom Dr. Valentine Mott, of this city ,h;vs been experimenting after the P,iBtenr fashion to enre him of a dog bite. He said to a reporter to-day that "Dr. Mott and the rest of them ought to be arrested. He is probably acquainted with Pasteur's financial success, and is making this initiatory step an advertisement for future operations. The whole principal of inoculation is wrong. The medical profession fears to express its honest conviction, because of the popular belief in vaccination. The human race is deteriorating under vaceiuation. Smallpox, oanoers, tumors and other forms of diseases are resulting from it. There are no end of fanatics who find microbes for every disease. They will lie finding one for delirium tremens before long. Franklin, O., July 23.—This little city is greatly excited over evidenoe of an awful double crime that came to light this morning.
