A manpsome barkentine of 350 tons, classed nine years, was on the 19th imst., launched from the shipyard of Hon, John Lefurgey, Summerside. She is considered by competent judges to be perhaps the finest model ever launched at that place, and she is built and | finished in the best and most substantial | manner.

and, taking her bleeding body in his arms, ‘cut his own. Locked in the bloody embrace lof death, their decomposed bodies were discovered only yesterday afternoon. There is every indication that the slayer of his wife and himself was the victim of here- ditary insanity. The tragedy brings grief into some of the best families of the country. The young couple, when married, were given a farm two miles outside of the

village by the wife’s wealthy father. | So far as neighborhood gossips knew, | they lived happily. On Wednesday

wfternoon of last week they visited the house of Mr. Kramer, the wife’s father, and, after making sume purchoses at the store, returned to their home. Since that time, although nothing had been seen of them, their absence was uanoticed until yesterday afternoon. A_ brother of Mrs. Runyan, the murdered wife, went to the house the day after their visit to Jersey- town, but, as he found the house locked, he supposed they were making a visit, and returned to his home. Yesterday a neigh- bor went to the house. It was locked. He went tothe barn, where he found the cattle dead in their stalls. Thoroughly alarmed, he dragged a ladder to the house, and, monnting toasecond story window, saw husband and wife lying in bed, locked in each other's arms and covered with

blood. The bodies were in such a state of decomposition that it was impos- sible to enter the room. An alarm was sounded, and soon the entire neighborhood was aroused. Doctor

Trent was the first to enter the room, but was compelled to return, after having made the discovery that Mre. Runyan’s throat was cu’. This morning several persons entered the ‘rooms. The bed was soaked with blood, which had oozed to the floor. Evi- dently, a double murder by anyone who had entered the house was impossible. It was plainly the work of an insagpe husband, and this was confirmed by a memorandum found in one of his pockets, disposing of some of his and her personal effects, and stating that he had committed the deed, and that the families would find out why. Only a few days before the fatal Wednesday he told his brother there would be a funeral before the week was out. A sister of the murdered woman says that Mrs. Runyan told her that her husband a few weeks ago said that, if he was to die, he wanted her to die with him.

DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF THE ‘*PROTEUS ’-—OPINIONS OF GREELY’ SITUA- TION—THE OFFICERS OF THE EXPEDITION CONDEMNED FOR RETURNING —PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER RELIEF VOYAGE — DESCRIPTION OF THE ‘‘PROTEUS” SINKING.

The N. Y. Herald's St. Johns despatch, giving details of the loss of the ‘‘Proteus,” says: On July 16th it entered a false lead in the ice, and continved until stopped by ice on July 19th. A retreat was begun by way of favorable leads in the ice, and an effort was made to force a passage. This was abandoned on July 21st, and another lead entered which promised to reach open water. Before the opening was reached the lead closed, and the ‘‘Protens” was unable to force a passage. The ice con- tinued to close, and at 2a.m on July 23rd the vessel was stopped. The ice was spongy, and after two hours’ pressure opened again. The ‘‘Proteus” steamed forward only to find open water had dis- appeared. It headed back for Cape Sabine, and nearly reached open water when a heavy ice pack began to close. Hvery effort made to saw through it was unsuccess- ful. A quarter before 3 p. m. the vessel again nipped. The hatches were open and necessary articles were thrown upon the ice and transferred to a safe place. The ice was breaking through the starboard bul- warks and crashing in the sideengine. The boiler was expected to explode every mo- ment and thé hold was tast filling with water, before the cries of “Come off, she ‘is sinking,” were heeded by the wreckers on board. At6p. m. the ice slacked, and the vessel sank rapidly. The masts were stripped of the yards as she sank through the ice. Dogs and pigs were scrambling’among the general debris. The whole presented a most horrible wreck. ‘he ice floe on the port side was drifting rapidly down the South and threatened to carry away the party and everything. Several boat loads were hauled to the fle, and the remaining things abandoned. The ice at this time was stewing and packing between us and the shore, and the loaded boats could not be rigked in the water. The expedition effects were piled together as soon as possi- ble to guard against the plundering mania of some men. The morning of the 24th was spent by buat parties transferring sup- plies from the ice to the shore, This was very dangerous. The drifting floe was abandoned by the worn oyt party about 3 p.m, All reached Cape Sabine safely.
