y 10 LOVE AND JEALOUSY, A Jilted Shoe Merchant Kills His False Fair and Himself. TWO THROATS CUT. An Exciting Scene of Blood and Death in a Pennsylvania Village. Carevowia, Pa, June 23, 1876, Three years ago a man named Dolson Hicks opened a shoo shop in this viilage, and eutered the family of James Shapland asa boarder. Being an intelligent and wmiable man he became quite a favorite in the place, fleapite the fact that he was addicted to periodical spells pf drinking, during which be was boisterous, but con- udered harmless. About eighteen months ago Mr. sbapland died, leaving a widow and one child, a boy our years old, Mrs Shapland was a prepossessing soman of thirty, of irreproachable character, Hicks soutinued to board with ber, and a few months since, | Qe promising to quit his occasional drinking, the two | wero engaged to be married, the widow being lef with meagre means and Macks being prosperous in bis busiuess, There had come to the villago shortly after the death of Shap- laud a young blacksmith named William Coehran.. Ho went to work in Smith’s blacksmith sbop, and also jound a boarding place with Mrs, Shapland. From the ‘ime of Cochran’s entrance into the family Hicks be- | came jealous of him, and two months ago, during acon- Versation with Mrs. Shapland, of which the blacksmith | was the subject, the widow casually remarked that she thought Cochran was as tinéa man as she ever met, This made Hicks angry and ho went off and got drunk and after bis spree wag over Mrs. Shapland told him shat the relations existiug between himself and her were at an end, | JEALOUSY. Ten days ago she and the biacksmith were married, ind Hicks went to keeping bachelor’s hall over bis shop. Since the marriage nothing unusual was noticed in the mauner of Hicks, aithough it was expected that he would drink harder than ever, as he was known to passionately love the woman he was to murry. Yes- terday afternoon he put a keen edge on a long bladed shoe knife, and told a man who was working for him that be had promised to trim some bushes for alasy down town and that he would not be back to the shop that afternoon, He then went out. About three O'clock Hicks entered the blacksmith shop where Cochran works, which is about a quarter of a mile from the latter’s house. In his right hand he had the shoe knife, which was red with blood, He pointed to Cochran and said:— “You are a widower and “TAM A MURDERER Cochran exclaimed, “My God! he’s murdered my wie!” Cochran ran out of tbe shop toward tho house, fol- lowed by two other workmen. On reaching the bouse Cochran found his wife lying on the floor, with her aead nearly severed from ber body, and her little boy ‘ying on her breast, weeping piteously and calling her auine. There were no signs of a strnggle, although there were blood marks in two or three places about Yhe room. Dr. Hamilton was sent for, and then Coch- tan and otbers started alter Hicks, who bad been left ulone in the blacksmith shop, They found him walk: ing excitedly about the shop. Cocbran seized a sledge \ammer, and would have crusbed the murderer to leath but tor the interierence of the crowd, Hicks begged them to LET COCHRAN KILL AIM, ts he wanted to d@ and deserved to, He was taken Into custody and locked up in a room in Nivers? Tavern until the inquest could be held. Hicks re peatedly admitted tue murder and made the following fall statement of the manner in which he committed it “He said he and the deceased had beon engaged to be married for several montis and she had failed to keep | her prom-e. ‘The fact that he was to have marricd | Mrs, Shapland was well known «od | SINCE SHB HAD JILTED HI he had been ridiculed and troubied with it, This so annoyed and enraged bim that be determined to take her lie, Four times before the fatal day he had started ou bis murderous errand, but always tacked | out. When he left his shop in the alternoon ne went directly to the residence of the deceased, He met her little boy on the steps, who told bim bis mother was in. Hicks wentin and found Mrs. Cochran sewin She arose when he entered, and told him to take a hair. He walked up to her and said:— “Phebe, you have made a madman of me.”” She replied (hat she was sorry if she had injured him, but that he was as much to blame as herself. He then drew the knife from bis pocket. She stepped bac! ep, but before she could make an outery be thi pne arm a.ound her and held her while he drew the knife across her throat four times, when she feil to the Her little boy entered as the deed com: Hicks then feit the house, and went to the Cochran what he had done, Hicks said, wit “T had to kill her. Something pressed me on to the deed and I bad to do it. I would do w to-morrow, Yam not crazy, but kiiled the only woman I ev@ loved | deliberately and designediy. i want to suffer the couse- quences.” Being told that it was only by great effort that the populace had been restrained from lynching him, he sa i am sorry they were prevented.” After the inquest, at Wuich Hicks was present and pronounced the testimony all correct, the murderer was piaced iu the custody of two constables and was taken up-stairs to prepare for bis journey to jai, some thirty miles, One of the oiticers stayed with the pris- oner while the other went out to make arrangements | for the conveyance. About ten minutes afterward the former came rushing dowm stairs shouting for Dr. Gamiiton, aud announcing toat Hicks nad CUT UIs OWN THROAT. A rush was atcpco made for the room where the prisoner Was. He was op bis knees by the bed, on the edge of which his head was lying, while blood was streaming trom a wound im his throat. The rigat carotid artery, tho common jugular vein and the trachew wero iound severed, and the injary was at once pronounced fatal by the doctor. ‘The ofticer said he had gone to a window to look out while Hicks was washing his bands ou the other side of the room, Suddenly be heard a fall and peculiar gurgling sound, and, lovking around, saw | Hicks on the floor, with his pocket ‘knife | io bis baud, The’ blood was gashiag from bis throat. Beforo the coustable could reach him Hicks inilicted another wound im bis neck. The i weapon with Which the wounds were made was a large | pocketknite, having a blade four inches long Hicks | did not spenk after being placed in the bed, and died Ina few minutes. It is impossible to describe tho scene in this village | following the murder and its tragic sequel, Business was enurely suspended and the streets were filled with | people wild with excitemout Tho house of | \be murdered woman was surrounded = uutil ate last night by an excited throng, a8 was she tavern contaming the body of the murderer tod suicide. Hicks was buried today in a lot be pwned on the outskirts of the village. He was about | thirty years of age, au Englishman, and bad no relatives in this country. Notwithstanding the terrible crime of which be was guilty tuore aré not wanting many who sympathize with the unjortuvate map, Mra Cochran is to be buried to-morrow.

M. Coroner Howe | was notified that a sabjoct for inquest was lying at the raiiroad boarding house of 8. MeNeil, in Baring Cross, opposite the foot of Gaines street, Crossing tne river the following ‘acts were elicited :— Two boarders at McNei!'s, named respectively Martin Kenuedy and Patrick Hester, were drinking somewhat to excess on Sunday afternoon And had some words, daring which Keanedy applied to Hester an opprobri- ous epithet. Friends interfered and the rfatter was quieted. Hestor went to bed, and about tea o'clock P. #. Kennody came into the room where he was lying, bringing with him a botile of whiskey. He asked Hester to driuk with him, which the latter did soveral times, Kennedy occasionally using very abusive lan guage toward Hester, who finally became exasperated and, gotting up out of bed, seized a stick of stove wood long and struck Kennedy a blow on the side of bead Which vent him reetine from the room. The wounded man seated bimsel! on the perch of house, whither he was followed by one of Iie Irvende, and upon asking it he wos burt he replied, “Oh, my lead!" whew were the last words le ever spoke He remainea vucouscious until at tweive o'clouk yesterday, when be breathed his .

[From the Kansas City Times, June 20.) A negro man, Gus, Hemmins, originally of the Smart family, of Kansas City, was killed yesterday morning between two aud three o'clock, near the stock yards, in Kansas City, Kansas, He was first dis- covered by Fred Simpson, the watchman of the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad, who immediately informed Marshal Sheehan of the fact. Dr. Scott, the Coroner of Wyandotte county, held an inquest on the body, and the jury returned a verdict that Hemmins came to his death by a club in the bands of some unknown person. A white woman. of a verv low character. avpeared at the Inquest, WHO ciaimeu 4 be his wife, and said thar they were marr: at St Joe, and said that she had seen him have some bil's of the denomination of $20 the day before. She was kept 1u custody, aud in the afternoon made a full confession that s! nda colored man had committed the murder, They were both lodged in jail at Wyandotte by the Marshal. It appears that fhe white woman had been cohabit- ing with the negro Hemmins us his wife, but she had left him and gone to hive with Henderson. This led to jealousy and finally to marder. Ali three of the party had been drinking inasaloon in West Kansas City on Tuesday night, and Hemmins had went out for a walk with the woman, when Henderson waylaid them and clubbed Hemmins to death. This is a terrible out- rage, and one that wust not pass without the majesty of the law being fully vindicated. ut of ten or twleve murder eases within the memory of the writer, all of which bavo occurred in and near this city within a lew years past, none of the criminals have been con- victed.

The principal points brought in the prosecution were these:—ilood was found on his underclothing and pants, for the appear- unce of which be gave no answer bit What was clearly proved false by Gther witnesses. Un the evening of the night on which the crime was committed be was at ‘the hotei in the village of Indian Falis, und while there inquired explicitly us to whether this Mrs. Norioa had any person living with her—sons or daughters, or any vho would be likely to interfere with Lim in the mplishment of bis hellish aesigo.

During the past week or two the dealers in flags have complained bitterly that they have been obliged by the Perm.t Burewu, of which Mr. Hart is the official bead, totake out permits to display flags iu front of their stores, It was even ebarged by some that the in- spectors of the bureau had notified everyboay flying a flag from his housetop or first story windows that he was iniringiwg upon the permit ordinance and woula have to pay $1 tax for every flag displayed. In order to ascertain the truth about tle matters HuRaLD reporter yesterday called upon Mr. Hart and asked if it were true that exbibitions of patriotism in the flag flying line were subject to municipal tax. Mr. art, in reply, denied that any orders had been issued by him compelling persons who displayed flags at ther houses to pay the permit license, He says that the dealers in flags display them by the dozens over the sidewalks us an attraction to buyers, and fags thus displayed are regarded by the bureau as business signs, and the dealers are re- quired lo pay $1 for a permit. He adds that many storekeepers, taking advantage of the flag mania, pat placaras relating to their business on flags which they vang over their doorways, These, he suys, come under the “sign” provision of the ordi- nance, and the dealers must pay the usual periit fee. “people,” said he, “who want to tly flags at their doors or housetops are, of course, not troupled by the inspectors; but men in business who make use of tligs to advertise their business must pay for the privilege just the game as though they hung a sign over their doors,” A POINT IN QUESTION. | To tux Eprror or tHe Hexaup:— Having been present at the Centennial opening, I could not but notice the very completo display made of flag decorations throughout the entire city, and the thought occurred to me, Would my native city do like- wigo if occasion required it? Just here 1 desire to offer the suggestion whether it would not be a much better plan in every way for us, instead of spending such large amounts upoa fireworks, to invest the same moncy in bunung, &e, thus aflording ourselves and children something more substantial than the mere gratitication of the moment. The writer = is not in any way connected with the sale or manufacture of the article alluded to, but only wishes to express his conviction that the Oriental method of holiday celebration should now make way for something more worthy of our civiliza- tion. AdSbort time past a Philadelphiap remarked to me that they have moré patriotism in ofe month than we possess tn the twelve, Now, can we bot show to the nation upon the eventful day 80 soon occurring that New Yerk hasa large, even if latent, supply of the love of country to draw upon? A A NEW YORKER. CENTENNIAL HOLIDAY. The tobacco merchants and brokers have agreed to adjourn business from Saturday evening, July 1, till the following Wednesday morning. The contract is signed by J. 8. Gaus, Son & Co, ; M. Rader & Son, C, F, Fisoher & Brotber, Fox, Dills & Co., and many otberrepresenta- tive houses. A similar paper is being signed by the leading sugar and collce brokers aud refiners of Wall street and the merchants down town’ have very gen- ofAally agreed to close thetr respective places of business {#@ia Saturday, July 1, till the following Weduesuay. ‘THE WESTCHESTER FIRE. The residents of Woodlawg, Washingtonville, Mount Vernon and West Mount Vernon wero much alarmed soon alter eight o'clock on Friday evening by four ex. plosions, the first one of which resembled the discharge of acannon, and was followed by three others of less force, It was soon discovered that the Jupiter powder factory, near Woodlawn station, was on fire. The circumstances connected with the origin of the fire are of a suspicious character. On Tuesaday last Constable Watts, of Mount Vernon, took possession of the factory vy virtue of a chattel mortgage on the machinery, fixtures,. stock, horses, wagons, &c., which he advertised to sell on the 28tb inst. On Thursday the foreman of the works obtained permission irem Constable Watts to use a horse and wagon belonging to the proprietors, and on returo- ing them {to the promises yesterday morning told Constable Watts that there was another horse. and wagon 10 Morrisauia which be might seize also. The constable proceeded at once to Morrisania tu look after the other lorse, wagon and harness, which, how- ever, he failed to find, and during bis absence 650 pounds of Jupiter powder, which be hud seized, were removed from the premises and the tire occurred, A lady. passenger by the Harlem Kailroad left the train at Woodlawn and walked thence to Wasbingtonville, and as she passed near the factory saw # mao with a vy xray beard leaving the premizes. Bofore she bad gone more than two blocks furiber she heard the re- ports, aud on looking back saw flames t:swing from the building. Washington Eugine Company No, 1, of Mount Vernon, repaireu to the scene and did good service; butall the otuer companies kept at a respect- fuldistance. Hadtthe 650 pounds of Jupiter powder not been removed, there would have been a terrible explo siov. There were two mortgages on the building, one for $2,000 held by F. Grote & Co., of New York, and another for $1,000 held by William H. Pomberton, of Mount Vernon. It was insured for $2,200, The build- ing, a frame structure about seventy-live feet long by” forty wide, was estimated to be worth about $4,000, FIRE AND ACOIDENT. Yesterday alarm of fre was caused by the igni- tion ofa slight wooden frame work over tho kilns of ‘Thill’s Glass Works, Williamsburg. The damage by the fire did not exceed $5, but a serious casualty resuitea from it, As engine No. 11 was on its way to the fire it frightened a horse driven before a wagon by Mr. John McMurray, and caused the animal to shy in such atanner that the tender to the engine collided with the wagon, breaking it to pieces. Mr. McMurray and his son were thrown on the pavement, the latter re- ceiving slight injuries, Mr. MoMurray’s right leg is said to be broken, ana ho sustained severe internal in- juries. Both sufferers wero taken home by Chief En- gineer Smith. DARING BURGLARY IN JERSEY. The residence of Mr. John D. Carscallen, Speakor ot tne New Jersey House of Assembly, on Pavonia avenue, near Grand street, Jersey City, was entered by burg- lars atan early hour yesterday morning. The thieves climbed over a fence in the yard and entered the house through a basement window. They did not obtain much booty in the first and second floors, 0 they boldly entered the room im which Mr. Carscallan was sleeping, carried bis pants into another room, and there ritled the pockets con- taming eight dollars in bilis, besides sinall currency, Railroad passes and notes amounting to $2,000 were found strewn around the floor, The thieves must have suddenly become alarmed, as they did not wait to take the gold watch and chain and articles of jew- eiry lying gear the clothing on the tabie. From the basement they took severa! napkin rings and silver spoous, The burglars then visited the house of Mr. Warner, next dour, bat they did not go beyond the basement, and found little to reward them. THE FERRYBOAT COLLISIONS. Logal proceedings were commenced yesterday by the Jorsey City Ferry Company against the State Line Steamship Company for the damage inflicted on the ferryboat Hudson City by the steam*r Indiana on Wednesday. 1t1s somewhat singular that three ferry- | boats of this line have been run into and damaged during the past week. CAGING AN EMIGRANT SWINDLER.

The exercises incident to the Thirty-third Aunual Commencment of the College oi the Holy Cross, ip this city, were appropriately observed to-day in the pres- ence of a large and distinguished audience. This inst{- tution, it should be remarked, is the chief Catholic col” loge m the East, and during the long period of its ex- istenceét has graduated many of tho now leading Cath- olic clergymen of the country. Tho spacious build- ings, which are situated on an eminence commanding the country for miles around, were erected nearly forty years ago and in 1843 the college was founded by Benedict Joseph Fenwick, then Bishop of Boston, and a few years later tho institution was endowed by the State with all the authority and privileges enjoyed by the other Massachusetts colleges. Among those present at the exercises to-day were Gov- ernor Rice and staff, who were received and enter- tained by Rev. Mr. O'Hagan, President of the college, and of the prominent Catholics who participated were Bishops O'Riley, of Springfield, and Healey, of Port. land, Me, The buildings generally and the exhibition ball ip particular were handsomely decorated, and the exercises were frequently enlivened by the music of one of Worcester’s tivest bands, THE EXERCISES. The commencement exercises were characterized by superior judgment all through, and were of such striking interest as to call forth frequent bursts of hearty applause from the large number who were assembled to listen. One of the most timely productious was a dissertation by Thomas F. Butler on the subject of “The Nations at the Centen- nial,” and this in turn was followed by Daniet N, Crowley on ‘The Trials of Great Minds,” and a disser- taton on “Emulation” by John O’Dowa, The vale- dictory address, by John J. McCoy, was a touching effort eloquently and effectively delivered. HONORARY DEGREES. Tho following bunorary degrees wero then con- ferred :— waster of Arts—William B, Whall, A.

Yostorday the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judgo Neileon, of the Brooklyn City Cdurt, came up for argument in the case ot Mrs. Annie Hope, who procured the writ against the “‘Homo for Destitute Children” to compel the managers of that institution to preduce her four children beiore the Court.

Tho latter board transferred the little ones to tho institution named. On May 23 they wero sent to the West by the managers ol the Home, without consulting the mother. In answer tothe writ Mrs. Susan GC. Smith, first «i- rectress of the “Home for Destitute Children,” made affidavit which was read in court, setting forth that Mrs. Hope was a dissolute woman and was not fit to ve custodian of her ofispring; that the petitioner was an inebriate and bad been in the Penitentiary for va- grancy; that sho was in the habit of trequenting a house of ili-fame in New Yor that the children, William, Bertha, Lizaie and Frederick, whose ages aro from six to fourteen years, are boarding with families in Columbia, Boone county.

New Yor, June 23, 1876. To Tae Epitor or Tne HeRaLp:— Your editorial of Sunday last, rolative to an article on Greenwood Cemetery in the same issue, entitled, “The Political Hyena,” was a fitting rebuke to tho sharks who have designs upon the reserve fund. It hardly seems possible that there should be a parallel case in the Senate of the United States. February 21, 1876, Seater Sherman offered a bill (see Senate, 475) te amend the charter of Gleuwood Cemetery, in the District of Columbia, so obviously uncenstitutional that the committee to which it was referred reported it back adversely. One of the provisions of the bill was denying the company the rights of any Court whatever. Within a few days thereafter another bill (see Senate, 914) was presented to repeal the charter, which is also ‘unconstitutional, being ex post facto, Cannot a lot holder, even if he is a brother-in-law of Senator Sherman, be compelicd ay a just debt without a raid being made upon the rights of the com. or is this a new form of blackmail. 3 i CONSTANT READER, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. « MARRIED.
