Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Prrrsbene, Pa., Sept. 17.—A bloody trage- dy was enacted in Eas: Liberty, a suburb of this city, at 7 o’clock this morning. Andrew Kountzman. a German shoemaker who had Deen in jailon a charge of theft, escaped- from confinement yesterday afternoon. Go- ing home this morning, he saw a matt named Mentzer sitting in one of the rooms, reading a newspaper. Kountzman attacked him with a brick and nearly killed him. He then ran into the yard, and, finding his wife were, assaulted her with a piece of iron. He struck her twice on the: head, causing a frac- tire of theskull each time. The unfortunate woman sank to the ground ina pool of Dlood, while the murderous husband, now insane with rage, pulled a long-biaded knife from his pocket and dreiw it across his own throat several times. As the blood spurted forth ina crimson flood, he ran around to the front of the house and up stairs, slashing his throat with the knife at every step, and seattering the blood aboyt the floor in all directions. Once in the upper room, he made. his way to a lounge, where. he continued to ‘cut himself until he rolled off the lounge on the floor, where he died in afew minutes. - His throat, neck, and face were so hacked and gashed that he was scarcely recognizable. Mrs. Kountzman ‘was taken charge of by some of her friends and a physician sum- moned. Her recovery is considered impos- sible. She had been keepmg a few boarders to help her worthless husband along. She is highly spoken of by all of her acquaint- ances. Kountzman was jealous of her, but without cause. It is supposed this was at the bottom of, the trageuy. It is known to have been the cause ot the attack upon Mentzer, who will recover... This is the third horror of this kind that has disgraced this county in a little over a year.

Deter then fled to the residence of his mother-in-law, a distance of nine miles, and committed suicide by sbooting himselé through the heart with a revolver of thirty- two calibre. The cause of the trouble was that Deter had been too intimate with . Straighv’s wife, whom he lad_ separated : from for some tine. Straight is in a dying condition, while the Coroner of this county is holding au inquest on the body of Deter.

CuIcaco, Sept. 17.—1t seems to be general- ly conceded that relief work ingaid of, the Michigan sufferers, so far‘as this city is con- cerned, has ceased. In behalf of at least one, who has a fellow feeling in his bosom for the sufferers, I wish to say that the work has not. ceased witheme, and I do not propose'to let’ up in my endeavors until Chicago’s reputa- tion is considerably bettered from its present status. It appears from all that has been re- ported that the people of Chicago have thus far given about one centfapiece toward re- lieving an’ amount of suffering and dis- tress. unequaled in the his; tory of this country, one memorable occasion, when the heart of the civilized world was wrought upon. to help the citizens of Chicago, to the extent or a million gollars or more. of Rome, Mich., with 2,000 inhabitants, contributed $1.50 each for the cause which has thus far elicited the sympathy of Chicago to the extent of $6,000, so far as heard from. It may be bears’: day with the Committee of the Board of Trade, who are reported inan to explain the legal difference between mur- | der in the first and second degrees. Judge Landon was 2bout to reply, when the prisoner arose to his feet and said: “Your Honor and gentlemen of the jury, this was nota murder in the second degree. 1t was a deliberate and premeditated murder. [ know that I have done wrong, and Tought to confess the truth, and that-T ought to ba hanged.” Here. the prisoner’s counsel in vain tried to silence him. “‘ No,” continued King, “have done wrong. It is my duty to confess it, and I cannot help doing so. cannot keep still. I plead guilty to-murder in the first deg It’ was fitteen minutes from the time 1 struck the first blow with the ax until I struck him the second time, and all this time I kept thinking I will finish this man. If this is not premeditated murder, what is it? I have already killed two men. What is my life to me? The life of either of those two nen whom I have killed is worth a dozen of mine.”? ‘fhe prisoner then sat down, whereupon. the Judge informed the jury that,’ in view of the prisoner’s adtmission that the murder was premeditated, there was no necessity for any further explanation of theelaw on his part. The jury thereupon retired, and very soon came back with « verdict of guilty. In reply to the question as to whether he had anything to say why the sentence of death should not.be passed upon him, King. re- plied: “Nothing, sir; the sentence is a just one. Lought ta be Ranged.” He was sen- tenced to be hanged at Plattsburg on Noy. + next, between the hours of 10 o’clock in the forenvon and 2 o’clack in the afternoon, King is said to bea remarkably intelligent aman, His sxppearance in court yesterday was certainly impressive, and_his deliberate manner when addressing the Court and jury made a dramatic scene. The doomed man is SLyears of age. Te was born in New York City, where a widowed mother resides, aud wus educated in the Roman Catholic faith. :LABOR AND CAPITAL. AN ADVANCE ASKED.

Loss entered the ofliee where Chief Tluriey was engaged making out a monthly report, and asked Hurley for a pen and pa- per, as he wished to write a letter. After writing two notes, one addressed to Hurley and the other to a friend, he handed Ilurley his, telling him to read the contents. While Uurley was reading the note, which w: notification that he intended ,committing sui- cide, Ross drew a pistol front his pocket, and placing the muzzle to bis head pulled the the trigger. The shot resulted fatally, caus- ing almost instant death. Ross had for years past led a dissipated life, which was proba- bly the cause of his having committed the rash act.

PURE SUGAR. an Aero ee tonee re By a recent invention, Starch or Corn Sugar (more generally known as Glu- cose), heretofore quite extensively used by Confectioners, Brewers, cte., has heen made sulliciently dry and white so that it can be powdered and mixed with all Sugars. It raises the standard of color largely, but, not being so sweet, reduces the saccharine strength, making it nec- essary to use more of the article to attain the usual degree of sweetness. Large quantities of this mixture are now being made and sold under various brands. As refiners of Cane Sugar, we are, in view of these facts, liable tobe places, in a false position before the public, as the results of analysis of Sugar bought in- diseriminatel, ill seem to confirm the ‘ious statements of inter ested persons who alleged it was the com- nS | mon practice of the leading refiners to mix Glucose with their Sugars. While not intimating that a mixture of Glucose- and. Cane Sugar is-injurious -to health, we do maintain that it defrauds the inno- cent consumer of just so much sweeten- ing power. In order, therefore, that the ubtic can get Sugar pure and in the con- dition it Jeayes our refineries, C.
