Pa., has been the scene of a terrible tragedy, a jealous hnsband having shot his yonng wife and blown out his own brains, after a f atUe attempt to mmrder his step father. The tragedy oc- curred at an early hour in the Exchange Hotel, where the husband had found his wife alter looking for her nearly a week. 1%« murderer and his victim are Mr and Mrs. Charles Williams,of Cambridge, They were married about a year ago, but have lived unhappy owing to the morbid and unwarranted jealousy of Williams. His wife was MissMi^gie Parshal, daugh- ter of William Parshal, a farmer of Eden- boro. She was a giri of eonsiderahle per- sonal attractions, of whioh she was quite conscious. Shs had many admirers, one of them being a clergyman.. She preferr- ed Charles Willbms, who was an idle and dissolute fellow, with no visible means of support, who, during his court- ship, frequently showed his msane jeal- ousy. H«r friiends, foreseeing a miserable life if she married him, earnestly desired her to break off the connection and ac- cept anotliM: lover. The love sick giri turned a deaf ear to all entreaties how- ever, but in leia Huoi a month after marrying him. she became entirely dis- enchanted and realized the full force of the warnings which she had disregarded, The slightest att«ntaons of ordinary politeness shown her by hor gentleman Mends irere regarded' as fraught with concealed meaning by her husband, and the life led by her at last became so nn- bearabie that last week she packed her valise, and left his home, going to Eden- boro. There her hasband tracked her, and he and his stepfather, Mr. George Redmond, visited her, the latter acting in the capacity of a mediator. An affect- ing interview took place, resulting in the wUe consenting to try her husband once more, he promising to trust her implicit- ly. With akiss and a fond embrace the re- conciliation was sealed and the husband ' eiiid-wife-paaBed-ottfrinto thet^ieebann in arm. They .enterf d the stoi 9 of F. L. Proudfitand Williams purcltsed for his wife a pair of kid shoes, Tj liiie store- keeper they appeared 'to be moat affec- tionate, the man lavishing upon her a whole vocabulary of endearing tcirms, Williams announced his intention of cc cnpying the room in the hotel which his wife occupied, and the pair retired to rest about midnight. An hour later, Redmond, the success- ful peacemaker, was aroused by hearing Mrs. Williams exclaim: "My God, Charlie, I am innocent!" "False devil, yon lie!" Ee heard Wil- liams ^ply. Then a chot was heard, followed by a terrible shriek and a heavy fall. Red- mbnd rushed up the stairs and ^as met on the landing by Williams, who stood with a revolver in his hand. He fired twice at Redmond, but miased him. Then putting the muzzle to his own head he fired and put a bullet through his brains falling dead on the landing.

The bther advortisement t'e- scribed a room in the sime street, on the east side of .the sqnaiei^ hat, curiously enough, in a corre^tondUng sitnation in the street. The next morning Franklin arose late, breakfasted, and walked tip Broadway to Union-square. The day was mUd and pleasant and not too warm. Franklin was deefdy interested in all he saw around him, and enjoyed th' quick, active life of the great thoroughfare with all the zest which belongs to a man fresh from school. His previous visits to New York had been few and ot short duration, and, while he did not feel entirely a stranger, he looked at all he saw with keen pleasure. It was 10:40 when Franklin reached Union^square, and he stopped and de- bated whether he should turn to the left and go first to the house west of the square, or to the right: and go to the house east of the square. Bjb dedde4 upon the former, chiefly because he had walked up on the west side of Broadwa;^. The house mentioned in the advertisement was one of those ordinary three' story, brown-stone structures which are to be found in most of the lateral np^town streets of New York. There was a flight of stone steps leading up to a double- door, and there were blinds carefully closed upon all tiie windows in the front of the house. Th^meighborhood had aa air of agreeable qdi^t, and as Franklin surveyed the house he was exceedingly pleased with his prospective residence. When he rang the bell there was a proper amount of delay in opening the door, and so sensitive was the young man to the minor evidences of good, breeding that he was much pleased with this. But as the door swung back he was very much startled. There stood upon the thres- hold a singular-looking man of most un- prepossessing appearance. He was of stunted statue and evidently about 40 years old. His bands and feet were large, as was his head, which, because of his short neck, seemed to rest upon his broad shoulderr. i^EKs hair, which was black, grew down to within a finger width of his eyebrows, which met in a straight, black line. The .skin between the hair and jpyejbrows was unusually white, and his fa(||j.upon which no beard had ever grown, wias equally white. His eyes were dark and cold, his nose thin and clear cut, and his mouth small, with thin lips cloang over large, white teeth. Franklin expAieliced one of those curious change»%f feeling which we are wont to call revulsions when he saw ^e man before him. Instantly he detanmin- ed that he would not msJEo known his real errand. 'I don't like that face," he he thought, "and I don't care to live in a house which a man" with such a face makes his ' ho^io." Accordingly the young man said with a little hesitation that he was looking for a friend who lived in the neighborhood and thought the in- mates of that house might give him some information. The man in the doorway answered the callerfs questions pleasant- ly, and Franklin thjtnked him anu walk- ed down the steps. Tttming as he reach- ed the sidewalk Frankfin saw the sm gular-looking-nmii still Jitanding on the threshold, and noted with chagrin and embaracsment a smile pf mingled acorn and smusement on his features.. No man likes to feel that he has not been equal to an emergency, especially when t^_e'»- ergency calls for a keen wit;- in the care t^^lMd^om, 'weie alone in te house. None m the rooms were opm^^ :.W xsii; There oli minate. diatfirsl iis Frank- lin walked away, flushed And angty, he knew his explanation had- not been bdieved. But the morning was too beautiful for ill-hilmoiir to remain long regard to the friendship which Dick â€" before Wilhamsmet her, althoughthemar vj^ now Red- oumnu Diiae psrav, and Redmond manried her mother, who is nearer his age.

"What is the price?" The landlord named terms which were satisfactory, and in a few minutes Frank- lin had paid an instalment and taken possesion of the room. "I will s«id my baggage up from the hotel," he said to the landlord. ' 'By the way, may I ask your name?' "Jasterâ€" Melchisedek Jaster," said the landlord. "Odd name, isn't it?" he added, as he saw a smile on Franklin's faoe. "My pe^le were pipus, I read the Bible you know found the- loame. some- where there, 1 belipvart" "It doesn't matter," said Fipmklin, with an indifferent langh. "There isn't much in a name. -Mine is Kenneth Franklin." r "Very well, 'Mr. 'Frtmkiih," said Jas- ter "I hope yonll ber coinfertable here." "I dare say I shall," replied Franklin. "Who are your^other lodgers " "Only the tnfo rpoms farthest down tiie hall are occupied. An agent has one of them and a law clerk the other. The lower part of the hbiise I Use myself. I live alone, except 'for my lodgerii and my own servaht. If you need anything you will find a bell there by the mantel, which she will answer. Good-day, sir." Franklin remained in the room only a few minutes after Jaster left it snd then went out. After luncheon he called ,up on the surgeon with whotn he was t9 study, and then wandered around the city. Dining early, he went to the theatre and returned to his room about midnight. The house was quiet when he enters, but as he reached the head of the stairs he thought he heourd a -iam. murmur of voices in the room nearest to his door. As this was the one' Jaster said, was not tenanted, he concluded he must^ have btei mistaken, and taa.t the voicea came fiom one of the other rooms. Franklin fell into a light slumber air most as soon as his head touched the pillow, but was awakened presently by a loud knock- 4t hia door. He waited a minute and the knock Was^.repeated. "Who's there " he calleid; There was no answer. Rising from his bed he wrlked over to the dOor and open- ed it. There Was no one in' sight. The moonlight Streaming into the corridor from the window at the lower end made every object discemable. Frirsklin went back to badj somewhat puzzled- He was a gain almost asleep when another knopk sounded upon bis door. This time he noiselesslyj left the bed and ^..Talked over ' to the 'door. He listened mtently^ .but heard nothing. Then, wffle' he mioi with his ear so close to the do^'thac he could feel the vibrations, the knock iff^ repeated, this time wiUi great energy. Franklin ffung the door open and dashed into the halL. There was, nothing in sight except; the moonlight streaming into the window.!

Accordingly when he had finished dressiog he opened his door and walked directly across to t^e d^pr of the mysterious room. Bending tl^h, he put his hand upon the carpet at the threshold where he had stood the night before, and felt that it was still damp. He kiaocked at the door «nd the blow seemed to awaken only hollow echos. He knocked i^ain with nobetter result. Then he turned the knob and stepped into the room. By the hght that came through a 'dusty window and from the open door ehind him Franklin saw that the room was absolutely bare. Tqere was not in it aiSUglia piece of furniture of any descrip- tion. The dust lay thick upon the un- carpeted floor unduturbed except by the tracks which his own feet had made. It was evident tiie room had not been enter- ied before in months. Franklin left the house determined to put the case into the handsoC a detective. Within an hour he received a dispatch from his father summoning him home without a moment's delay. He had not even time to return to his room^ but sent a message to Jaater asking that his effects be forwarded. Then he started South. All this was in September, 1872. Last week Franklin came to New York for the first time since he left it so hastily. The house where he spent one night was torn down yean ago. Nobody could be found who remembered Mel(dibedek Jasper. A Strange Fisb./' A correspondent in Hie â-  island of Papa Westray, Orkney, Scotlai» writes :â€" While passing along an ontlying point on the east side of the island recently, I »ime across rather stratlge'-toflking fish which had been driven ashore during the latii stormy weather. 'Np pfle hpre seems to have seen or heard of anything like it. At first sight itappeared to belong to the porpoise or dolphin class, its body being speckled in a similar manner and also of the same color. On removing the sea- weed in which it was pwtly embedded, it was found that the length of the body was five feet seven indies, .and the tail, #liich is longer than the body, measures six feet, lis girth roimd the thickest part is over four feet, and at the com- mencemeiit of the tail one foot six inchee Its mouth is veiy small compared to tha rest of the fish, being only five inche. across, and is' armed with three rows of shPrt sharp teel^, with the points turned inwards. In some particulars it resembles the common dogfish, the opening of the gills, being the same. The two side fins, both in position and shape, also resemble those of the dogfish. They tieein to be ver^ powerful and strong,' Wlien spread bub they measure between four'and five feet ac^rois. The nroat pealiar part of it is its tail, which, aS 1 have stated, is six feet long. Where it joins the body it re- sembles very closely that of the dogfish measured across its broadest part it is one foot four inches, and where the upper part branchfs off it is ben indws broad nrid two inches thick, resemWingthe blade of a knife with the edge oa the under aide. From this it runs r|f and; terminates ina.pomtabout one inch, broad pnd half an inch thl.k. When floating, on the water the tail was fully half' out, and forming an angle of about 45 degrees with the surface. The eyes »*« ^ery close to th^ nose and only three inches apart.
