PrTTsBURG, Pa., Oct. 14.—A bloody murder bes added its quota to the terrible record of the week in this citr. The body of a man was brought to Allegheny City this morning from the suburb, where he had fallen a victim to the love of money two days before. It was soon recogmized as the body of Heury Schaffer, a well-known cattle-dealer of the South Side, who has for years bought cows and calves from farmers near the city and sold them at the Red Lion sales stables on gixth street, this place. Immediately upon the ‘recopnition of the body detectives ar- ~rested & man named Linkner, a part- “per of the murdered man, and placed him ju & cell at the station to await hearing. The following particulars of the mur- der have been received: About 11:30 o'clock yesterdsy morning Frank Crawford, a young man, was riding along the Butler Road, fifteen mmiles from the city, when his horse took fright st some object lying near the roadside, and, upon examination, it proved to be the remains of the murdered man. News was immediately communicated to the neigh- bors, and the body was at once brought to the office of 'Squire Magill, residing near the scene of the tragedy. It was at once seen that the victim had come to his death by heavy blows on the head and face from two large clubs found mear the remains, and a heavy stone a1l being covered with Dlood and hair. The skull was crushed in three places, and the side of the head beaten almost to a jelly. The deed had been committed in a fence-corner, and the Vody dragred from the spot into the woods. Upon the inquest being held, the fact was developed that Linkner was seen ed-mm‘f in . a buggy with deceased, and driving a cow before them about dark on Thursdsy at a point four miles irom where Schaffer’s body was found. They in- quired the way to Hare’s Tavern on the Kittan- ning road. Linkner, in the policc-station, stated that they arrived at Hare's Tavern sbout dark, but there is testimony to prove that they never reached the tavern at all. The gn’.soner furtner stated that he got. out of the uggy and went ahead for a short distance, and awhile afterwards the horse and bugey over- took him, but only Schaffer’s hat and coat were in §t. The hat was covered with mud, and had evidently been trampled inthe road. Further it was proved that the lorse and bugey were scen with the prisoner about 4 o’clock of the day on which the murder was committed, which was after Schaffer had met his Ceath. On Linkuner’s clothing were several large spots of blood, 'and two pocket~ Looks were found in his possession, one containing £17, and the other, securely tied, belonging to the murdered man, having over $100in it. The pockets of the victim had been turned inside out, and nothing but a handker- chief was found on his person. ‘The prisoner, upon his arrest, expressed _sur- prise that Schaffer had Dbeen Ikilled, and insisted upon secing the body of his late partner, manitesting the_greatest grief, either real or pretended. early in the present week. Schaffer was = married man about 40 years of sge. Linkner is probably 50 years of aze, and a man of years, and lived in the sawe house. THE NORTHFIELD BANDITS. &pectal Dispatch to The Trivune.

XNEw Yoms, Oct. 14.—~The reported shooting yesterday of Mrs. Cora Cheeseman, by herself, is becoming the subject oi public interest. Early tnis morning Coroner Ellinger visited the bedside of the wounded woman, and found a strenge lady attending her. 3Mre. Cheeseman,swho had spent a very bad night, was considcrably excited, and more than ever refused to make 3 sworn statement to the Coro- mer as to how she had received the wound. ‘The Coroner, finding he could obtain no_statement {from the patient, turned his attention to the &trange lady, and eficited from her that he wes a friend of Mrs. Cheeseman, and had come from Lynn, Mass. in spswer to a telegram sent Thursday night informirg her Cora had Leer murdered, and that she should come on at once. This dispateh is sizned ““Cora.” The Coroner questioned the lady in the parlor adjoining tbe room _in which Mrs. Cheesemzn was Iyine. When the latter saw the Coromer speak to her fricnd she called her to her bedside, and forbade her to make any furiher rtate- ments. Thus bafied in all his efforts, the Coroner spplied to the Superintendent for his offivial assistance, as the case, since the contents of the telezram are known, has become more mysterious than ever. The condition of Mrs. Clieesemun is very precarious, Nothing has been seen of or heard from the husband of the wounded woman. A BLACK HILLS MURDER.

Trim's house and buildings werc burned last night and his charred remains were found in the debris of the carriage house. A bloody trafl was found leading from the house to the rear of the barn, and it is sup- vosed that Mrs. Thayer and her daughter were wurdered and their bodics dragzed to the barn, though they have not beenfound. Mrs. Thayer was known to have had $5,000 in the house, and plunder is supposed to have been the incentive. ‘The community is intensely excited, and this moraing turned out enmasse to investigate and sccure the murderer. Bloodstains were found in the road. A broken comb, some hair, and other indications pointed to 2 struggle at that oint, and by the bloodspots the trail was fol- owed to the baru.

An Evening Werrily Whiled Away Within its Walls, Music, Mirth, Minstrelsy, and Burlesque During the Past Week, and Please ing Features Promised for the Future. The amusement record of Chicago affords no paraliel to the growt in popular tavor exhibited at the Coliseum. Our city never has supported and never will support poor shows for any length of time. Even tolerably zood perform- ances do not suffice. - Only excellent entertain- ments carn favor, and of this the manager of the Coliscurn seems aware, First-class perform- ers, good singers, and excellent music are made the rule. louses crowded with intelligent and orderly audicnces have oeen and are the result. During the past week a bill of unusual excel- lence has been presented. Mr. Frank Beunett introduced to the audiencea member of the Arkansas Colored Police Foree, following with a laughable travesty upon Captaln Jinks. ~* The First Trial,” introductng operatic and dramatic sclections, proved highly amusing to the lovers of burlesque. Miss Fuanny Delano in asolo upon the stafl-bells won _Tavor by her skillful performance and - pleasing manner. Her “ Beautiful Bells,”—a very appropriate selec- tion, by-the-by,—Wwas promptly recognized by the audience. The French Twin Sisters, both * Pretty as a Picture,” sang *Down {Where the Pansies Grew " with much grace and_sweetness. Later in the evening their skill in dancing was admir- ablyshown in'a double clog, executed with so muen neatness as to cause woider Liow perform- ers so young could have arrived at such absolute lperfetfion in _ their art. Jeppe, in gentecl character-songsof the Lingard order, made a very favorable impression, With his fine baritone voice and pleasing manner. He sang * Yachting in the Bay,” was twice called out, and his last selection, * That's What I Like to See,” was ap) lauded after each stanza. Jeppe is as neat a dresser as the best, and wears his clothing aa charmingly as the exquisite he portrays. Then came o series of good things, as follows: “A Perplexing Pre- dicament,” with plenty of work for Messrs. Lang and Hawkins and fun for the au- dience; Miss Bertha Rowe in a bouquet of sweet songs; Thatcher and Hume who sing, dance, and tumble to everybody’s satisfaction;the Gorman _trothers in_artistic reel and clog dancing, followed by Miss Nully Pieris, whose vocal selections could not have been better rendered, the tirst being the Kiss Waltz from “Arditi,” and the last O'Reardon’s beautiful rong, “My Dream of Love is O'er,” written during a hopeless attachiment formed by the author for Mrs. James A. Oates. ‘There was much novelty in the juggling per- formance of Monsiour Philion upon s revolving globe severnl feet above the stage. No little skill was exhibited in rolling the huge ball up the inclined plane to its lofty position, and caus- ing it to remain stationary at several points of the descent, a feat apparently so diflicult as to call forth applause at every repetition. Mon- sleur is next scen upon his revolving ball in- dulging in & pyrotechnic display whicll prompts (.hc%cw.lcr of the orchestra to take refuge in the rear of the house and closes the act amid a shower of sparks and applause. The climax of the evening’s entertainment was undoubtedly reached in the inimitable “Flirtation Sketches,” by Jeppe and Fanny De- lano, the former bringing down the house by merely dofling his exquisite hat in his exquisite manner, but. they showed themselves worthy of cven greater commendation when called out for the fourth time, by the artistic manner in which they sang the beautiful duct, “Good-Night and Thiok of Me.” They could mnot fal fb be gratifed with _ the bearty apblause which followod them. Fields and Hoey conquered music 2nd the audience by playing ipon every imaginable instrument. from 2 coffee-pot to 8 cow's horn, closiug their act amid bursts of laughter by performing the « Blue Bellsof Scotland upon the cow-bells of America. ¢ Brass versus Gall,” a laughable afterpiece, glittering with stuffed-clubs, scoop-shovels, ete., in the hands of performers who wielded them with telling effect, sent the audience home fully satisfied with the feast of fun and song served nightly at the Coliscum. In addition to the most pleasing- features above noted, new attractions are announced for the present weels, among which are the Morasco family gymnasts, who perform double somer- saults, shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot; Worden and Mack, a pair of the clevercst song and danee artists in the-country; Banker and Mills, protean and skotch artists, with mew pleces; and the *Three Aruoids.” Herr Schulze, the famous facial performer, who was to have appeared at this theatre durine the present week, died Oct. 5 at Cincinnati, of con- sumption. An interesting feature of the weck will be the debut of Miss Marie Louise Andre as a pro- fessional singer. She is known to be alady of many attainments and a fine vocalist, and has adopted the stage not, from choice, but to enable her to support an invalid relative depending wholly upon her individual exertions. No per- son can fail to wish her a success as ample as Ter ambition is praiseworthy. All the above features at the Coliseum, with jts popular_prices, contribute to an entertain- .| ment varied enough, good enough, long enough, and cheap enough, for the most exacting, aud crowded nouses cannot fail to be the result. e e——— THE BRODERICK WILL. George Wilkes Charged with Forgery. Special Dispaich to The Tribune. WasHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.—Col.. George Butler publishes a sensational card fu the Wash- ington Republican, in the course of which e says that George Wilkes forged the mnoted Broderick will, and that Dby that means he obtained a ehare in DBroderick’s es- tate, which he sold to William P.
