MURDERS IN VIRGINIA AND MIS30URI
Horrible Mnrrirm In Virginia An OM
IHn anil his Wife the Victim.
From tht fredericksburg Ledger, August 2D.
Not more than ten days have elapsed since
this community were horror stricken by n recital
of the farts connected with too brutal murder
of Judson Motley, but to day it Is our duty, a n
journalist, to chronicle the details of a double
crime, by the side of which the lato murder of
Judson Motl?y pales into insiuiflcunce. Within
eight of the tiwn, not more than a mile an 1 a
half outside ot the corporation limit, murder
combined with arson K;w been perpetrated, and
the hellish flend or ttonos walk the earth undis
covered. But to our narrative. Gustavus Limerick and
Nancy, bis wite, aped persons, aud both over
seventy years ot age. living not more than a
mile and a hall irom town, were murdered some
time between Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing, and their dwellini, a plain wooden tene
ment, burned to the ground. The fire was seen
between 12 and 3 o clock, both in this place aud
Falmouth.
It seem that Sirs. Archie Roy discovered the
lire juHt be;ore day, aud at that time it seemed
to be dying out. she aroused her husband: out
he thinkm-r the fire had gone so far that no
efforts would bo availing to save the property,
did not go to the fire until about 10 o'clock nest
morning, at which tine he and Mr. Leitch, who
lives at Mr. A. K. Phillips' place, went to the
lire In company. Arriving there, they found
the house burnt, and the remnants of a humtn
being in a mutila erl and burnt condition in the
chimney hearth, the back part of the skull evi
dently having been broken.
They started at once for a magistrate and a
constable, tn order to holu an inquest. A jury
was hoou summoned, and Mr. (. li. Wallace
county magistrate, summoned as coroner. Jus
before the party had assembled, ana as the
Eunice were riding up irom Falmouth, the
arking of a dog attracted the attention of a
gentleman a little aside from the hign road, aud
there, cold in death, was (justavus Limerick
the old man before referred to, attended b.y In
faithful dog. The old man's skull was fractured
evidently, as we learn, by the blow ot an axe.
One of his pockets was turned inside out, bu
otherwise lm clothing wa undisturbed. The
body, or skeleton found in the house, proved to
be that of Nancy 1'. Limerick, the wife of (jus
tavus W. Limeiick. It is conjectured that the
deed was done for plunder, as it is known that
the old peoplt kept money by them. They were
inollensive, and harmless in 'every sense. The
Coroner's jury returned a verdict that the par
ties came to their death by violence, at the
hands of some person or persons to the jury un
known, who murdered these old people for
plunder. Two men, strangers, were seen in the
neighborhood Saturday morning, but our in
formant says that there is not, much likelihood
that they had anything to do with the murder.
A Mother Killed In Hi l with a C hild In
htr A nil k.
From the St. Louis Times, August 26,
On Sunday night one of the most appallinz
exhibitions of crime which thock the moral
sense ot a community was perpeiratPd at house
No. 811 Soulard street, resulting in the death
of a good-.ooking married lady named Catha
riue Stiegler, wile of a Herman carpenter. The
husband had gone out, in company with his
two eldest daughters, to drink beer at u garden
in the neighborhood, leaving the wife in bed
with her infant child. The "murderer clandes
tinely entered her bed-room with a club in his
hand, and dealt her two terrible blows, one
over the left ear and another over the eye,
fracturing her skull, and killing her instantly.
So instantaneous was her death that the infant
child was found clapped in her arms, un awa
kened bv the atrocity.
Mrs. Stiegler was thirty-five years of age, and
is said to have ben married two or tnree times.
8he is exceedingly comely in appearance, with
beautiful black hair, tall. "and fair complexion.
A former husband, named (Juassi, was incarce
rated in the penitentiary for grand larceny, and
a peddler oi cheup jewelry on the levee also
claims to have been married to her. It is highly
probable that one ol these desperadoes com
mitted the deed, though no positive proof has
as yet ben adduced.

"Rochester, August ;J0. Dear Sir: Sensible
of the unexpected honor generously conferred
upon me by the Republican Convention of this
city in appointing me one o! its delegates to
meet with the true Southern Unionists about to
convene in Philadelphia, I beg to slate that I
cheerfully aud gratefully accept the appoint
ment, aud will certainly attena that true Na
tional Convention, provided I am timely put in
possession ot the proper credential for that pur
pose. If this Convention shall receive me, the
event will certainly be somewhat signidcant
progress: if they reject me, they will only iden
tify themselves with another Convention, which,
irom mean motives, turned its back upon its
true friends. Yours very truly,
Frederick Douglass.

THE BI0T NEAR BALTIMORE.
St-COUfI Dcnpntcll,
Baltimore, August 31. As far as ctn l
Bscertaincd, the following are the fucts of thia
outrageous affair:
A white camp mooting, alteuded by many
ministers of Ibe Methodist Episcopal Church,
of North Bultiinorc District, of which Rev. Mr.
Lannhan is Trending Elder, was being held at
the place before stated.
Rev. Messrs. gpeak, Reld, and other w hite
nilulslers were olliciating at the white camp,
near which, unler the auspice of the same, tho
rolored people were holding camp exercise aho
During yesterday afternoon a number ot young
men were noticed in the eanip-trround having
pistols. These were, so far as can be ascer
tained, residents ot the surrounding neigh
borhood. No disturbance occ urred during the day, but
about midnight, while the colored people were
conducting their religious exercises, they were
violently set upon by a gting of men, using loud
bliouls, threats, and imprecation'. The attack
commenced by beii'iug a negro man while on
his knees.
The negroes at once rose up, and a scene ot
wild and indisiribaole confusion ensued, the
women screaming in tenor. Shots were fired
by tbe assailants, but in the dark; but fe are
supposed to have tnken eil'ect. The colored men
rallied and turned upon their assailants, and
drove them oil' two or thice times, whilst tha
women lied towards the white cttmp. Many of
the colored people were wounded with clubs,
and some flesh wounds from pistol shots.
Some of the colored men hud pistols, aud used
them freely upon their assailants, but with what
results are not known.
Finally, through the presence of the white
ministers and oibern, the coullict was ended bf
the colored people leaving the ground and seek
ing their homes, leaving their camp to the
desperadoes, who further gratified their un
manly spirit by piling tbe tents and efleou of
tbe negroes, including bundles, trunks, aud
clothing in a hsup, aud setting lire to the pile
(irstrujcU U all.
The white man shot, first mentioned, waa at
prayer at the altar, in the white camp, where
the Rev. Mr. Spoak was conducting the exer
cises. By whom the shot was fired is not known,
but the friends of some of the ministers bulieve
that it was tired by some of the white rioter
who intended it for a prominent Methodist
minister. How this may be, it is impossible to
say. Others think It was simply a stray shot
which is very probable.
Our informant says that the white men cer
tainly began the disturbance, as tho colored
people were at the time engaged in religious
exercises. The assailants are reported to have
used to various rallying cries, among which was
heard the expression, "Jlo w about New Orleans."
There are many exciting, and doubtles.? mora
or less exaggerated stories circulating about the
affair, but the above, as far as can at, present be
ascertained, seems to bo authentic-.
Fatal Accident.
Toledo, Angust 31. Yesterday afternoon a
picnic of tbe Clinton Park Pabbath Schojl, at
Presque Isle, three miles below the city, a
party consisting of five young persons, crossed
the river in a amaH boat, and while attempt
