Special Derpateh to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Nov. 18.—The Sun to-morrow will tiave the following account of the tragedy this afternocn, that has caused 2 greater eeneation in New York than any other since the killing of * About 2 p. m. James C. Eing, a lawyer, of 140 Eest Seventeenth atreet, shot and almost in- stantly Lilled Anthony F. O'Neil, of No. 50 YWest Thirty-fourth street, whilo the latter was descending the stairs leading from the ofice "of Judge Josiak Sutkerland, at No. 42 Pine street. The circumstances which Yed to the killing of O'Neil are as follows: In the month of July, 1868, King sad his wife and children went to Europe. While in Larope, ‘hey visited London, Liverpool, Paris, and Bremen. After a stay of nine months, they re- smrned to this city, and put up at the Clarendon Hotel, where they boarded but a short time, when Mr. King purchased an ele- want memeion, No. 15 Vest Forty-sixth street, and moved there with his fawily. The following summer they moved to_Long Branch, After their return from the Branch, they resided temporarily in Eighteenth street, nesr Fourth avenue, and then went the following _sunmer to live ab or'a Station, on the Erie Railroad, in Orenge _County. ere they remained until~ February. Semetime during Sep- tember ‘present s, King com- menced proceedings in_ihe Supreme Court for a limited divorce. In her complaint she alleged a8 & causo of action continued ill treat- ment and adultry. Her aitorneys were Frank J. Dupignsc, of 16 Wall street, and William Faller- ion, of 11 Pine street. Almost immediately after . the papers in thia suit had been rerved on ing, he, through his at- torneys, Messrs. Brown, Hall & Vander- poel, commenced a counter suit against his wife for an absolute divorce. A third suit was then commenced by Mrs. King for the custody of the children. suit was instituted by her 1awyers for tho purpose of bringing ont the tes- timiony in the gnit for o limited divoscs. Judge Josiah Sutherland was appointed as referee to take testimony. ‘While King and his family were living at Tar- sier’s Btation, theimmula the acquaintance of O'Neil, who, With hi Iunilg, was also living there.” O'Neil was employed as = detective by 1ho Erie Bailway Company, and he and his wife having witnessed several acts of cruelty on the ypart of King towards his wife during their stay at Turner's Station, they were summoned as witnegses in the divorce suit. On the 17th of October, Judge Sutherland began teking tosti- mony “at ~his rooms, Pine street, The testimony wes very voluminous, and the sxamination was continued from time to time. Yesterday the examination was resumed; O'Neil and his wife were present as witnesses. In the absence of Mr. Vanderpoel, Mr. Book- wtaver acted as counsel for Mr. King. O'Neil was placed on the stand, and his testimony was very damaging to King. He testifled to repeated acts of cruelty on the part of King, while he was at Tumner’s Station, and described him in a man- mer not very mnch to the liking of King, who was obeerved to wince and turn deathly pale. O'Neill was subjected to a rigid cross-examina~ tion, but Lis testimony was unshaken. At 2 o'clock Judge Sutherland announced that he would adjourn the examination, King at this time was conversing with Alr. Bookstaver. D'Neill and his wife, with Mrs. King, left the room and went intothehall. About asecond or two after they had left King hastily aroee from his seat and followed them. Tho tvo ladies had got about half W down the—stairs and O'Nail was fol- lowing close behind +wem. Ring, when bo reached the lasding ot the heed of the stairs, produced a_gix-barrelled rovolver, and, taking deliberate aim at O'Neill's head, fired. The ball fi::‘!ad nb!.i%uely. throngh the left rim of O'Neill's t, without injury to him. O'Neill, who was not aware that the shot was intended for him, and without the slightest-guspicion that an at. tempt would be made to assassinate him, turned around to ascertaintheorigin of the shot. As he faced sbout King fired" two more shots in rapid_succession. 'Neill . fell where he was standing, one of the bullets hiaving entered his breast and penetrated his lungs. iting, imme- diately after the shooting, rushed back into Judge Suthetl:nd’s office. The Judge, who bad risen from Li3 seat atthe recport of the yastol, was standing in conversstion with the stenographers. As King entered tlho ofiice he walked quickly np to Judge Sutherland and, with his hand on the trigger, Flnced the muzzle of his Jistol close to the Judge'sabdomen. Tho Judge elarted back in dismay, expecting, as a matter of cousse, that Eing intended to ehoot him, Xing reversed the pistol, and, walking up to the Judge, presented the handle of the weapon to Lim. Judge Butherland took the pistol, thongh mot =2 word was eaid by either _party, ond the whole trans- action did nof occupy more than a minute. “Then King, withont speaking, went hurriedly into the inner office, o joininfoc:ne main office, He closed the door, which he locked and bolted on the ingide. this time, O'Neill, who had been laying whera he fell, was picked up and carried into the office. Some one ran to the new street police station and informed-Captain Van Duzen of what had happened. Tho Captain mmediately weat to the scene of the shooting. “When he arrived O'Neill was dead. The room in which the murderer had concealed himeelf was pointed «ut to the Captain. He lmocked ai the door and demended admittance. He received no an- ewer, and rapped a second and third time. Feeling sutistied thut King did not intend to open tho door, the Cavtain vnt his foot azainst it and bursted it open. King was standing in the con- ire of thoroom ; he Was dressed in .the height of fashion ; in his right hand he held an ele~ gant chased gold-headed caue, wiule his left nand was ihrust- in his overcoat pocket “Talte your hand out 02 your pocket,” shoited the Captain, who was fearful that Klig might have 2 pietol. King instently dbeyed the order, and eafd, “Ihave ho weapon.” Captain Van Duzen then collared him and took him to the stetion louse, whither he Was followed by the crowd, which at thia time num= bered thousands, The crofd was, with diffient- iy kept back from the door of the atation- house. In the stetion the prisoner behaved with the mos eneifable cooliiess, and even when the lifeless body of his victim wss garried past him on o stretcher, he did not menifest the least concern. He answered the usual fiueatione by saylng that his name was Jsmes C. King, & lawyer b gmfeaaion. 88 years of age, and that ho resided at No. 140 East Sev- euteenth street. The body of O'Neill was ¢arried to the rear of the station-house, where his jaws wers tied up, and ho was loft Iying on ' the stretcher.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The reputation for a bluntly expressed immor-, ality of tone which preceded the play of ‘ One Wife" did not, ss had been expected, succeed in drawing out a larga audience on the occasion of the first production of the plece last evening at the Acad- emy of Music, The playwas s marked financial success in New York, where the critics, with an ‘unanimity somewhat rare, but not at all wonder- ful under the circumstances, pronounced it ab- solutely bad, but the furious condemnation only served to give it an extra amount of notoriety, and people flocked in crowds to see whether it really wasgobad. It isprobablethat these harsh criticisms, 8o boastingly advertised by Miss Charlotte Thompson or her manager, will hardly serve the seme pecuniary purpose in Chicago, unless the unfavorable impression produced last night, both by the play and the manner of its rendition, shall .s0on be removed by & smoother performance subsequently. There is no diffic 1ty in agreeing with the judgment of the Gotham writers asto tkhe ob- jectioneble nature of the material of which ““One Wife” is constructed, bat, at the same time, thero is no need of wasting whole col- umns of valusble spacein showing why and wherefore. A brief sketch of the main inci- dents of the plot will sufiice s well. A justly jealous wife sets » spy, mpon her husband’s movements, and ascertains that he is in- volved with a married friend of both, who proves to be & heartless, designing adven- turess, withont even the redeeming quality of licentiousness to plead as pu excause, but who is pictured meraly 28 a brazen mercenary. Having mede this discovery, the injured wife is at once persuaded of her husband’s innncence by & story “too thin” to_be swallowed by any but a down- right idiot. 8he learns that he has lied to her, and raves sbout his ungentlemanly readiness to resort to an untruth—as though it were a high- toned, honorable !.h::‘f for a man to heap insult upon {njury by brutally declaring his faithless- ness, 'This, however, I8 precis: &what he does, » little Iater on, and does it with an_ offensivo coarseness which suggests that in such & situation a man may something meaner than to tell 'a lie. In the same rude sirain he notifies hér of his intention to elope with his married enslaver, whose per- fect readiness to take up with anybody else with 2 much_money is lamely employ i sbont a lightning repentance and reconciliation, and tho curtain drops with the highly gratifying assurance that he has concluded to content him- gelf with “ One Wife,” but not without convey- ing the idea that he would have indulged in two if another fellow hadn’t stolen amarch on him, This is the story in & nutshell, and recited with as much leniency and forbearance as one could be reasonably expected to muster in the face of such provocation, ** One Wife” is an adapta- tion from one of the latest productions of Du- mes fils, entitled the * Princesse George.” The rehiabilitation has been effected at the expense of what little delicacy of uixnmon existed in the original, and the adapter not troubled ‘himself with preserving the faintest suggestion of 2 moral, unless it bethis: ¢ Steal your wife's fortune and run_ away with another woman, if youcan do it without too much troumble; but, if you get caught at it, be generous gad forgiv- ing—make it ugwith your wife, stayat home, treat her as well as you can, and. Lelp to alleviate her—bank saccount.” This is the impression natarally remaining upon the mind of the sudi- tor as he witnesses the denouement of ‘‘One ‘Wife.” Ifto bestow this much of newspaper comment upon the play proves tohave the effect spoken of above, and helps to draw crowas to see the performance, then we have been mis- taken in attributing good sense to tho Chicago theatre-going public. ‘The'_gen: bad impression was no doubt somewhat due to the imperfect and_faulty man- ner in which the piece was produced. Miss ‘Thompson i8 an actress of no little magnetic power, as well as force and intensity. There are, t00, occasional bursts of extreme natural- ness in her lighter phases, such as denote the careful, conscientions artisf. Her interpretation of the role of the ontraged wife is tinged with a womanly sweetness which would commead her highly were the part more worthy of her. Sachas it is, she had studied it closely, and succeeds at once in placing: herself upon a cor- dial footing with the sudience. The only nota- ‘bly good features of her support by the Academy company were those of Mr. Maynard, Mr. Web ster, and Miss Katie Wilson, all of whom ac- auitted themselves admirably. ' Of the newlead- ing man, Mr. Nobles, itis difficnlt to speak; as his role of the cowardly, brutal, guilty husband is not one that affords much scope for good act- ing. Mr. Padget will doubtless exhibit marked improvement at his next appearance, unless he contemplates retiring from the Chicago stage. THE OTHER THEATRES. Misg Maggie Mitchell began her fourth week at McVickers last evening, in_ the “Pearl of Etvoy;" a large audience being present. At Aiken's the attendance was extremely good, and “Humpty Dumpty” as enjoyable as ever. ‘8chneider,” with John Aflunr ittle Mac, and Alice Harrison &8 the “giars,” and with Ailen's dramatic company for their support, was given for the first time last evening to & good house. At Niyera' %gem House, the Arlington, Cotton & Kemble Minstrels presenteda richbill to a fair attendance. JOHN HAY'S LECTURE. John Hay, poetand essayist, author of “Lit~ tle Breeches ” and- * Castilian Days,” gave the eighth lecture of the Star Course at the Michi- gan Avenue Baptist Church, lest evening. The subject he announced was ‘" Phascs of Washing- ton Life,” although ‘¢ The Heroic Age of Amer- ica™ or “The Charactor of Lincoln” would either have been s appropriate. ) Although Mr. Hay did not give his audience what they fairly had anticipated,— sensational talk of tho sensational inner life of the National on Colloge, Wisconain, entuoky, $27,986. Capital,—he gave them something of the inner life of the great Lincoln, unspoken before in public, with such persuasiveness of oratory and finish of speech, that wa feel sure there were no regrets that that which had been anticipated was not given, for more was given than had been oxpected. John Hsy has wide and just celobrity as a literary man, but men of leiters have 50 gener- erally proven themselves deficient a8 lecturers, that” not s few took _secats before Nr. Hsy last evening anticipating & "dull sitting. ~ All such were most agreeably disappointed, for hardly has there been given in Chicago this Wihier & lecture ihich for brilliancy of ideas, beauty of expression, and power of or- atory, was superior to this, Miss Faithful was among the auditors. Mr. Hay apon dg‘sning, said he would treat of ‘but ore phase of Washington life, embraced in the events of the heroic age of Americs, orthose years between '61 and '65. He then very beanti- fully introduced a few expressions regarding the rebuilding of our city. He said that in the space of one year three cycles of history had been mede in Chicago, the disaste, the ruin, and the . glory., In his remarks re- ferring to Mr. Lincoln, he said, I do not wish tomake s faultless monster of him, but he came nearer to the type of the democratic-re- publican than eny man I ever knew.” Referring to nepotism, he said, ““Thers Was never a man who gave g0 few offices o friends. Ho was en- tirely ungrateful to the politicians in the West who helped him to the office: This was right: A Republic ought to be ungrateful to her citi- zens, just as Heaven owesno duty to her wor- shippers for their prayers and hymns. He said one day, & gentleman came to the Presidential mangion, and tried to persuade Mr. Lincoln that he was the man who first suggested his neme 88 President, and that therefore he deseryed an appointment. Mr. Lincoln listened attentively, and then snid: “ Are you sure you are the man ?” * Yes, sir ; I'm sure.” * Then,” said Mr. Linooln, a8 Lo arose to pass out of the room, “You got me into a pretty mess,—but Tl forgive you.” : i Be{emn;fi- to office-holders, Mr. Heay said " that the heart of the office-holder had its own bitter trials, and that they are generally men 'who sought such places on{y to show their at- tachment for the administration in power. Mr. Hay paid a glowing tribute to_the immor- tal Elsworth, who, he said contained more man- hood in five and ‘one-half inches, from boot spur to hat plume, than any young man he had evermet. . Hay said there had never existed between two officials such deep and tender friendship as that which existed between Lincoln and Seward, andhe seid the only words of envy he ever heard Mr. Beward utter regarding Mr. Lincoln and his position were these: “Inever envied him an; g except his death,—it was B0 grand.” . The gentleman closed with a most touching and eloguent tribute to the Northern army in the rebellion, describing it as it was reviewed in Weshington ‘upon its return, saying that ¢ thus it passed on—out of the battle into peace, out of our 8orrow into memories.” - PERILS OF THE SEA. The Loss of the Ship Crusader—A Perilous Voyage Around Cape Horn —Three Weeks in a Sinking Ship at the Mercy of the Storms—A Gallant Rescues B From the New York Sun. A striking illustration of the perils expe- rienced by sermen, especially at this* ecason of the year, 18 furnished by the Captain and crew of the shig Crusader, who were brought to this ort by the General McClellan. Tho ader was & British _ship, hail- ing from Liverpool. After hayving made a successful cruise, her Captain received orders to call at Celleo for a cargo of guano, and procecded directly to Cork for orders. * Accordingly, early in July, the Crusader smled with a full cargo, a crew of ninetesn men, Captain Charles Gilbert, his wife, and'a baby only 16 months old. The Tan through the Sonth Pacific was pleasant until nearing the Cape, When some heavy weather was expertenced. At first the ship behaved well, but one evening, when nearly two™ months out from Callao, a fearfully-heavy gale struck her, strain- ing her masts and carrying away & great part of her rigging and sails. The galo lasted all night, every minute increasing in violence, until ebout midnight the' bulwarks ‘were stove in end heavy seas washed the decks, rendering it & matter of extreme danger for the men to work the ship. Meanwhile the water had found its way into the hold and all hands ‘were called to bail it out. For several houra the men thus stood in the water, waist high, every lurch of tho ship pouring in more they could pour out. ‘At length tho violence of the gale abated, and efforts were made to repair damages. The sail- ora now began to look forward with some appre- hension to rounding the Cape, the ehip being considerably strained, and leaking slightly. The pumps vero need daily, but at length be- came choked and useless. "As the Crusader en- tered the Straits of Magellan she encountered another severe gale, and all on board expected momentarily o go to Davy Jones’ locker. Four days and nights the crew, to a man, worked bravely against the overwhelming odds of & crippled ship, fearful gales, and raging sea. They succeeded- in riding out the storm, but entered the South Atlantic Ocean in wuch a disabled condition that the only hope left those on board was the chance of run- ning across some vesgel that would pick them up. The danger to which they were exposed was M'H realized by all on board, but althongh thoy had but elight hopes of seeing home and friends again they did all that human strength and infienuity could accomplish. The bulwarks were all torn away, six feet of water was in the hold, the pumps all useless, and tho ship 50 un, manageable as to be left to run before the wind from whichever quarter it came. Every effort of Captain and crew was directed to keeping the ship afloat in the hope (a remote one in thaf Iatitude) of succor. Tor nearly three weeks tho crew of the Crusa~ der thus drifted and worked, the weather all the time being tempestuons, and death constantly staring them 1n the face. Atlength it was de- termined that the ship must be abandoned, and reparations were made for taking to the boats. gn the 8th of December, when all was ready for this last chance of saving their lives, the crew proceeded to get the boatsout ; but one after an- other they were stove in, and saw this, their only hope, gnatched from them. The condition of these poor human beings was pitinble in the extreme. ~Out on astormyacesn, . 1n 4 ship that could not float many hours, an- which might go-down at any moment, and with- out the faintest means of escape, the crow be- came despondent and coased offorts to keep the ship above water, awaiting with the calmuness of despair the moment that should launch them into aternity. Signals of distress were Lept hoisted ; but there was nothing on board with which to fire signals, all the powder being wet and useless. On the morning of the Sth of September, in Lat. 46 24 B., Lon. 87 56 W., shortly after 6 o'clock, the cry of ““ A sail! & gail!” was heard, and all rushed frantically to the vessel's side, intentlywatching the aj proach of thr delivarer: Captain Gilbert guilded his sinking ship as best he could toward the stranger, by whom bha was at last sighted. The story of their extreme danger was briefly told by the &i 41 am in a sinking condition.” “Shall we send 2 Loat ¢ Yen.” P ‘Those on board the Crusader now saw that the ship which had so_opportunely come to their relief was the General McClellan, of New York, from which, in spite of a heavy, rolling sea aw a stiff breeze, a lifeboat was lowered, and, pro- pnl]ew lusty arms, was soon alongside. As only three or four could be tuken off ats time, the Captain's wife and beby and the mate were the first to be rescued.” Gallantly did the men of the General McClellan 8" to and fro between the two ships until all hands wero res- cued, the Captain being the last to_leave. The ader was 80 evidently settling down thai he hadno time to save anything. Many of the seamen were disabled, and all were completely exhausted, but were cared for_with every atten- tion and kindness by Captain Morrison and crew of the General McClellan, A few days sufficed to restore the sufferers, four of whom were sub- sequently’ transferred to the -bark- Lieutenant Mnnxz, bound for Queenstown. The others were brought to New Yorlk, iving Lere on Tuesday evening. . e R A MISSOURI TRAGEDY. . One Editor Killed by Ann!'l:ur; From the Lexington (Mo.) Tntelligencer, Nn. 3. On_ Friday u’i%':no(on,- Nov. 8, about 445 o'clock, Latayette W. Groves, Eeq.,senior editor of the Intelligencer, while_returning to the offica from up town, was waylaid and shot by Edwin Turner, the publisher of the Register, on the corner of Mein and Laurel streets, in this city. In .its issue of -Oct. 24, the Regisler cou- tained & most uncalled-for and offensive person: sitack upon Mr. Groves, charging him with hav, ing deserted the Confederate army on tho eve o battle. Upon meeting Mr. Turner the firat time after the appearance of the 'nrixcl:{ in Young's news depot, Mr. Groves demanded of him the cuthora of the report. Turner refused to give them. Mr. Groves then asked him if ho wrote the article, to which he replied that he did. Mr. Groves then denounced him as- 8 dirty, cowardly dog, or words to that offect, to publish suchan infamous thing about a gertleman without any cause, There was no pistol or weapon of any kind drawn, Turer made no attompt to reseut the abusive langnage used toward him, only ! remarking to Mr. G. thet ho muen’t threaten him. Mr. Groves then left, and immedialely ro- ported to several of his friends what had oc- curred, Some apprehensions wers felt both br himself ond his friends, that take o more serious tuwrn. But day after dsy went by, the parties meb each other scores of times on the street, and not a single OSTILE DEMONSIRATION . was made by Turner. ' The election'day came, those on board |- the_affair might |* with its excitements, and still nothing was said ordone. Mr, Groves had dismissed from his mind the whole affair, regarding it agat an end. There had been some little misunderstanding between him and Sheriff Taubman, vhxchEihuw— ever, wis arranged most amicably and satisfdc- torily to both parties;: Wednesday and Thursday passed. The election retums from the whole country were in, and the result being Imown, everything was settling down to its usual quistness. Friday came, and every one drew a sigh of relief that the worry and con- fusion of the cs,uzpaign were at an end, no one rejoicing more heartily thereat than Mr. Groves himself. He had been worked down by Inbor and harassments of various kinds, and had ar- ranged to leave for his father's residence in the county on the 7 o'clock train that evening, where he expected to remain several days. He was moving about the streots all day talk- ing to his friends, in _company with some of whem he passed Turmer sev- eral times. It was. about 5 o'clock that he came down Main street on the south side toward his office. He was walking leisurely, and stopped now and - then to pass & word with a friend. Heo had passed Young's news depot above the City Hotel, and was opposite the gro- cery store of E. Eastor & Co., when er stepped from a doorwey in his rear with a drawn pistol, calling ont to Mr. Groves, * You called me adirtyson of & bitch; take your hand off that pistol,” and immediately fired. Afr. Groves th hands had bof IN HIS BREECHES POCKETS at the time, (the manner in which he usuelly walked), with & bundle of cloth under_ his right arm. Upon being accosted by Turner he turned Erfially aronnd just as the first shot was fired. ere is some difference of opinion as to whether the first 'was the fatal shob or_ not. _ We judge, however, that it did not eérike him, simply passing {hrough his coat sleeve. Immediately after the first ehot Mr. Groves turned square around facing Turner, who fired at the very instant of his turmng, dropped his pistol and ran back through Young's store up info his office by a back way. Mr. Grores stood still » second, siaggered dlovly ‘back off the pavement with both ds in his ockets, and fell dead in the stroet, the ball ving passed through the upper part of his heart. 1&:. Groves waa not heard to, utter a sin- lo word, and died without making = sign. er was immediately arrested by Sheriff Taubman, and lodged in jail, but was afterwards sent to Kansas City on account of apprehensions that the citizens, in their indignation at the out- rage, would mob him. He is now in jail in-that city, in chargs of the Sheriff of Jackson County. MISCELLANEQUS CITY ITERS.
