Shocking Tragedy at Chicago. A HOT TEMPERED EMPLOYER KILLS HIS FOREMAN AND CUTS HIS OWN THROAT.

About one o'clock a shecaing double tragedy,oceurred at the foundry of Schalto, Cossman & Senn, West Polk street,Chicago, on the afternoon of the Sth inst. Solomon Senn, junior partner, had a dispute last night with the foreman ot the foundry, Conard EKngleman, charging the latter with spoiling the casting of an ornamental pillar. To-day the qnarrel was resumed, LKngle- man said he would quit. Senn told him to do so, and ordered the book-keeper to pay him off, at the same time reiterating the charges about the casting. Engleman called him a liar, when Senn rushed into a private office for his revolver and sent a ball into Kugleman’s brain, from which he died in about an _ hour. Senn then snapped the pistol at his own head, but it did not go off, and be- fore he could make a_ second attempt to shoot himself, Mr. Schalto, the senior mem- ber of the firm, knocked the weapon out of his hand, Senn then went into his private office, drew a_pocket-knife and cut his throat from ear to ear, dying instantly. Mr. Senn was a well-to-do citizen and well liked, except for his hot temper. He was 45 years uf age, and leaves a wife and five children. Engleman was an industrious young man, 26 years old, and leaves a wife and child. There was great excitement in the neighborhood, and large crowds collected around the oflice in which the bodies lay in pools of blood. — Mail.

Movements of the Fishing Fleet.

The seiners continue to meet with good success ‘‘Down East,” but although the quality of the catch shows an improvement over last years supply, the fishery still fails to produce what is most wanted by the trade—a good proportion of handsome No. 1 mackerel. Several good fares have been reported since our last issue. Schooner John W. Bray hails for 400 bbls., the Isaac B. Chapman for 370, and several other ves- sels for 300 bbls. and over, while the minimum catch reported is 200 bbis. The number of arrivals for the week has been 21, and the receipts 3,950 bar- rels. The news from the Bay is not

of an encouraging character. Schoon- ner B.D. Haskins arrived home

on Tuesday, the third arrival this season, with a fare of 260 bbls. The hali- but receipts from Grand Bank continue small, and are taken readily at fair prices. Of the recent arrivals, few report a catch exceeding 50,000 lbs., and several run from 15,000 to 30,000 Ibs, The number of ar- rivals for the week has been 11, and the re- ceipts 305,000 lbs. Four Bank arrivals from codfishing trips have been reported since our last, with 305,000 lbs., schooner Massasoit being high line, with 150,000 lbs. The number of arrivals from the shore codfishing grounds has been 3, and the receipts 78,000 lbs. The Georges fish- ery continues to employ quite a fleet, and the returns are very good for midsummer; trips. Twenty-seven arrivals have been reported the past week, bringing 460,000 Ibs of codfish and 19,000 lbs. of halibut.— Cape Aun Advertiser.

Rev. W. H. H. Murray Indignant.

Boston, Mass., August 6,—A_ special de- spatch to the Traveller from San Francisco to-day. says that the Rev, W. H. H. Mur- ray is registered at the Grand Pacific Hotel in that city. The first intimation of his alleged tinancial failure reached him by telegraph yesterday. He utterly repu- diates the insinuation that he has disap- peared or is in anyway seeking to evade his liabilities. He came here on business for for the buckboard company, and will re- turn as soon as ke has concluded it, which he will probably do by the last of this week. He is suprised and not a little indignant at the slaaderous stories cireulated during his temporary absence,

John Bright on India.

Mr. John’ Bright spoke at Willis’ rk on the government of India. He said if it was necessary, for the purpose of maintain- ing our authority, to expend on the Indian army more than half of the revenae which could be extracted from the population’ by a burdensome system of taxation, it would be almost better to admit that the govern- ment by us of a great empire like India was such a government as was impossible, and that it ought never to havé existed. Mr. Bright pointed out the necessity of reform in the Indian Civil Service, both by the in- creased employment of natives and by a re- duced expenditure. He then spoke of the dissatisfaction arising from the license tax and the Press laws ; and concluded with a warning. England, he said, had done much by force ; now was the time for the action of wisdom and justice. ¢ SD ©: <9 Ree

The Hanlan Club Dissolved.

A Toronto despatch of Monday states that the Hanlan Club had a meeting on Saturday, and, after winding up its affairs, cancelled its engagement with the champion and dissolved, enceforth Hanlan will have to paddle his own canoe, A report of the English races was read from Col. Shaw, showing the expense and narrating the principal incidents connected with the trip. It was stated that, during the eighteen months the club had been in existence, it ‘had paid over to Hanlan no less a sum than eighteen thousand doliars, not in- cluding expenses. A letter was read from the champion, acknowledging the club’s liberality and thanking the members for their kindness. A balance of eight hundred dollars remained after refunding to each member $250 advanced by him to defray the expenses of the English campaign, and this it was resolved to present to the cham- pion, along with the properties of the club, consisting of boats, oars, boat-house, ete.

Sir Francis Hincks, President of the Consolidated Book looks wan, careworn and dejected, and will not talk upon the bank’s affairs except to old friends. Sir Francis loses $60,000 by the suspension, which will unload him completely.” He has, however, a pension of $10,000 annu- ally from the home Government, being ex- Governor of Barbadoes, the Windward Islands and British Guiena. Sir francis is free from suspicion, and gi the directors are believed to havet had@dust thrown in their eyes by the late manager, a sample transaction being the advance of $1,700,000 to parties who are not worth $100,000.

A few weeks since news was telegraphed of the discovery of a remarkably rich gold lead in Montague district, N. 5. Later re- ports indicate that the lead will prove richer thal at first supposed. A bar of gold was exhibited in Halifax theotherday weighing 248} ownces and valued at $4,600, the result of the labour of ten men for four weeks. This gives a profit of $4,000 on the months operations.
