A DREADFUL MURDER.

The retired end usually quiet village of Valparaiso, Ind., was. on Tuesday night of last week. thrown into a fearful state of excitement over the report that e fam- ily residing four miles west of Valparaiso, on the Pitts- burg, Fort We no end Chicago Bailrcad. had been foully dealt with, end their bodies consumed byflre. The report circulated like wildfire. and soon the bur—room of the Gould House was thronged with cscitedjcitlzens. who had arisen from their beds, anxious to ascertain whether the startling intelligence was true or false. A young men named Bushoro, a resident of Valparaiso, had brought the news. and he at once became the centre of the excited multitude. In a few words. he stated ell he knew of the terrible tragedy. lie was returning with a party of youn people from attending a dance at n town thlve mi ca west of Valparaiso. when be dis- covered the residence of Mr. Benjamin Long, a farmer living four miles fl'om this village. to be on fire. Driv- ing rapidly to the scene of oonflegration. the first object that met his sight was the form of a female. enveloped only in a thin ui lit dress, leaning against. a fence. near the burning bedding, and a closer inspection discovered her to be a deformed girl, named l'rcdcrica Rudolph, whose parents reside on a farm ad‘oiuing Mr. Long‘s. He saw blood flowing from severe wounds upon her person. and at once wont to her assistance. She request- ed him to give her his overcoat, as she was freezing, and he at once complied. He then made a hasty survey of the burning promises, and to hie horror discovered the bodies of two ersons roasting in the flames. llut, un- aided, he conhi’do nothin for the dead; therefore. he returned to Miss Rudolp . and, taking but in his arms. proceeded to take her to a feral house near by. On his way be was met by other people, who. attracted by the fire, were going to the scene. To those he communiceb ed what he had seen, and, with the assistance of one of the young men, conveyed the halfvdcad girl to the farm-house before mentioned. Dr. Parnmorc. accom- panied by several citizens. at once proceeded to the place where the w6unlled girl had been taken, and dressed her wounds. When she had suilicioufly recov- ered to talk. she made the following statement :—

THI ICEDEB.

She said that Mrs. Long, wife of Benjmnin Long, had requested her to stay at their house on Thursday night. as all the men folks had one away, leaving no one in the house‘th herself and daughter, Mrs. Emma Page. the wife of 'Clmuncy Page. a former resident of Val-

eraieo. She had complied with the request of Mrs. .ong. and had retired to bed with Mrs. Page, while old Mrs. Long slept in an adjoining room. About half-past ten o‘cloc .at night, she was awakened by hearing some one poundlng Violently against the door. Mrs. Lon arose from her bed, end turning up the wick o.‘ a ma kerosene lam‘p that steed on a stand in the room, neared the door. an asked who was there. The person re- tiled “ Page." and requested to be admitted. The old ady answered that. us there was no erson in the house but ladies, he could not come in. porn receiving this reply. the man at once commenced kicking at the door. which. 'icldiug to his efforts. flew open, and the next instant hauncy Page stood in the room. lie did not speak a word. but pointing a pistol that he held in his hand at Mrs. Long, fired, and she fell to the floor a corpse.

Rage. the wife of the murderer, hearing the ex- plosion. epd seeing her mother dro 1, sprang out of bed. and runnmg forward, fell upon or knees before her husband. and with uplifted hands beaeccbed him not to kill her mother. The fiend, however. took no hood of her words, but. catching her tightly by the arm. partly raised her from her kneeling posture; then plaeiu the muzzle of his revolver against her breast, pulle( the tri er, and the. too, fell back on the carpet a corpse.

iss Rudolph, who had been an eye witness of all this horrible scene of hatchery, with a presence of mind remarkable for one of her sex, pulled the bed-clothes over her head, hoping lliereb ’ to escape the observation of the infuriated cud blood-thirsty Page. in her efforts to conceal herself, however. she unfortunately drew the clothes up too high, leaving one foot exposed. Page. who hadcome Into the room where she was lying. dis- covering her foot, at once seized bold ofit. and by main atreugt pulled her from the bud into the room where lay the bodies of his murdered wife and motlior-in-Iaw. 'l‘hen, taking her violently by the am, he drew her nearly to a standing position. end again pushed her buck upon the floor. She arose. but before she could do or say anything. he caught her by the left wrist, and hold- ing bur away at arms‘ length. pleccd the barrel of his revolver against the other side of her head. just below end behind her right eye. end fired. lie fired a second time. the ball this time takin effect in her right shoul- der, a third shot was fired in her left wrist. and a fourth bullet entered her leg a few inches below the knee.

After receiving these wounds, the cor girl for a mo- ment became insenaible, but. recovering. sew Page take the lamp from the table end smash it upon the floor.— lle then reached to the safe, and, taking out a match, scratched it a eiust the wall, and ignited the fluid upon the carpet. hen this was accomplished, the diabolical villian seized Mire Rudolph by the hair and dragged her into the flames; but before the fire had communicated with her loose clothing. she managed to raise herself upon her elbows, and ap calcd to Page to kill her and not let her perish in the emcs. The fiend took her at her word. eudraisia a heavy chair, struck her a terri- ble blow with It on t c head. and upon her groaning, he repented the blows until be supposed life was extinct.— llut to reassure himself of this fact, be placed his our next her heart to ascertain if it still continued to beat, and she felt his hot breath upon her check. When Page be~ came satisfied that his victim was dead, he left the house. The moment he was one. lilies Rudolf raised herself upon her elbow, and finding her hair and right chest to be on life. tho. by means of s shawl that was l'ing near by, succeeded in quenching the flames. and then dragged herself from the building into the yard. and. as stated before. was found by Mr. Bushore stand- ing against the fence.

Page, after having accomplished his design, started off in e westerly direction. on foot. lie is a jewelier by trade, end has been known to go sometimes about the country on peddling expeditions. lie is about 32 years old. As before stated. the victims of this most atrooious murder were Pa ‘5 wife end mother-in-lnw. The for- mer was about? years of age, and had been married about three years. It is stated that within two weeks after the couple were joined in wedlock. the husband commenced to abuse his wife. and for three months treated her in a most brutal manner. At the expiration of that time. Mrs. Page titted her husband. and reiern- ed to her parents. and age, after re eetcd attempts at a reconciliation, left the village, an only returned at Ion intervals. Abont a year ago, Mrs. Page made an app icetion for a reparation from her husband. but, for some reason. afterwards withdrew it. Six weeks ago she renewed the application. and had she lived, the case would have been tried next week. On Moods last. Page returned to Valparaiso, having been prise of his wife’s intentions. He stated to severe of his acquaintances that "alto would be in b~ll” before the over succeeded in accomplishing her urpose. On the day of the murder he paid a visit to his mother-ia-iew, and while there mprle himself quite agreeable, not oncomontiooing the suit.

The fourth bullet st ll remains in the wound. end the girl refused to have if. extracted. avcrring that she intended to “ ken it as e memento."

After having accomplished this horrible work, Page struck out across the country towards the village of

ore, end six from Valparaiso. Here he got on board a western-bound freight train, and, after u woerisome ride of several hours’ duration. about 8 o‘clock on Wednes- day morning arrived at Chicago, and took a room at the City Hotel. Up to this time the fiend supposed every trace of his crime had been desire 'ed, otherwise he would not have gone boldly up to t a desk and regis- tered himself as he did. to wit: “Chsuucy l". Page.

oi the city, subtends the area into which the place arranges itself as it falls back upon the shore. Two thousand ships of the largest compass then known might easily find room in its ample harbors. The stream. nearly half a mile in width and sixty-feet in depth, with a tidal rise and fall of eleven feel. moves, for a few miles. in a broad and steady current be- tween the provinces of Brabanf and Flanders, then, dividing itself into many ample estuaries and gather- ing up the level isles of Zocland into its bosom, it seems to sweep out with them into the Northern Ocean. Here at the junction of the river and the sea lay the perpetual hope of Antwerp. for in all these creeks and currents swarmed all the fleets of the Zoo. lenders that hardy amphibious race. with which few soldiers or marines could successfully contend on land or water. The Prince of Penna, whom Philip of Spain had sent to the Netherlands to carry out his policy of subjugation, saw that Antwerp was the key stone of the arch of rebellion. and during the year of 1584 hovered poising over its head. though still delaying to strike. The succeeding year saw him begin to put his matured plans into execution. lie accordingly set to work building a bridge. so as to keep the citizens from obtaining food. Though to obtain timber he had to dig a canal 1'2 milcslong. all obstacles wore one by one overcome. and the bridge began to appear, not the chimera, the citizens had hoped it would be but a solid reality. The mil- ilary demonstrations of the besieged ones, the turb- lcnt Sebcldt lashed by the storms of winter, the oceandidcs rolling huge ice blocks up and down. and causing them to best against the pallisadcs. with the voice of thunder.‘all alike failed to destroy the structure. In the centre of the river l’arma. had found it impossible to construct a bridge other than with boats. Thirty-two barges had been built, each sixty-two feet long and (wire broad. the spaces be- tween each couple being twonty-ivvo feet wide, and all being bound together stem. stern and mid-ships, by quadruple hawscrs and chains. Strong timbers with cross rafters were placed upon the boats, upon which heavy frame work the plunked pathway was laid down. A thick parapet of closely fitting beams was erected along both the outer edges of the whole fabric. Thus a continuous and Well fortified bridge two thousand four hundred feet in length was sfretclr ed from shore to shore. Each of the tbiriydwo boats on which the central portion of the structure reposed was a small fortress provided with two heavy pieces of artillery, pointing the one up. the other down the stream. By various other comrivances which the genius of l’nrma had invented and npplio ed. the bridge was rendered to all appearances in- vulnerable.
