MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A shocking tragedy occurred at half-past 9
o'clock last evening at the residence of Mr.
Howard A. Holloway, No. 1308 South Ninth
street, below Wharton. Amelia McLaughlin,
eged about twenty-six years, employed as a
domestic in the family, was shot in the
breast and instantly killed by a young man
named William Stratton, a gas-fitter, who re
sided at No, 013 Federal etreet. It seems
that Stratton, who occasionally got drunk,
was in the habit of visiting Amelia at the re
sidence of Mr. Holloway for several months,
but his conduct was of such a character that
he was forbid coming to the house. On a
recent occasion ho struck Amelia and black
ened both her eyes.
Last evening he went to the house, and as
cended to the second story, and there had an
interview with Amelia. Mr. Holloway was
seated at or standing near the front door.
Amelia came down stairs and requested him
to "let Stratton go away in peace," and then
returned up stairs where he was. Presently
the reports of a pistol were heard. Lieutenant
Smith, of the Seventh district, was promptly
at the scene, and upon entering the second
btory front room he discovered Stratton
gasping for breath, lying on the floor by the
front of a lounge, a Beven-shooter near his
right hand. Amelia, who had evidently fallen
from the lounge upon the end of which she
had been sitting, was in a half reclining posi
tion in the corner of the room; the bosom of
her outside dress was on lire.
Lieutenant Smith immediately drew her
out from the corner and extinguished the fire.
She was dead.- Dr. Edward Guth was sent
for, but when he arrived the man was dead.
Amelia had been out in the afternoon, but
whether in Stratton's compapy could not be
definitely stated by any person present. The
family in which she lived speak in excellent
terms as to her character. She had lived
there about two years. Lieutenant Smith
took possession of the pistol with which this
tragedy was committed. It is apparently a
sew weapon, or one that had been but little
used. Upon An examination of the body of
Amelia two wounds were discovered in her
breast. Stratton shot himself in the right
temple.
XV S W-T O K HIS ZVZ S.
From Our Own CorrtsvorulenL
Nsw York, June 8, 1870.
Allii M.ntez Again.
The young lady who calls herself the daugh
ter of Lola Monter and the King of Bavaria has
been exciting a good deal of attention. For
the past two years she has been residing at the
Astor House, where it is pleasant to learn she
was able io defray expenses that could not have
been very email. However, so that she paid
her bills and conducted herself with passable
propriety, the gentlemen conducting that classic
establishment found no fault and expressed
themselves satisfied. A day or two ago,
however, on a bill being presented, the
young lady expressed herself out of funds tem
porarily and requested a short "wait" Then
she is said to have gone up to her apartment
and had a fit, In which condition she was dis
covered by one of the attendants of the hotel.
The attentions to which Miss Montez, or Princess
Editha, has been subject of late from the Soroals
are quite euough to give her or any ordinary
woman an epileptic attack. The young lady
originally set out with the design of lecturing
on the wrongs of her mother, "the Countess of
Lanasieiui." vvnetuer sue was rint or
wrong in thinking that the public would be
interested in her view of the matter is
a question aside from the subject now in
hand. It is certain that tUe Sorosls
and some of the fragments of the Woman's Suf
frage Association got around the poor thing,
and talked her into attempting a lecture on'
"Woman's Rights, upon which she was not at
all posted. To the improvisation she was thus
compelled to make she attributes her failure.
The sympathies of the reader will be awakened
when he learns that the unhappy young woman
is subject to epileptic attacks. Upon her belog
found in one of these seizures in her apart
ment she was conveyed to police headquarters,
that being considered by the Stetsons a sovereign
remedy for diseases of that nature when the
Invalid has no money. Fortunately for the
rrinccfs Edltlia, however, a Indy-boarder at the
hotel, who took an unwual interest in her,
offered to take her back, watch over, and
guard her and, what is more, de
fray her expenses until a council
of physicians should decide in her case. The
affair has created quite a discussion la the news
papers among those who knew the late Counters
of Landsfeldt. As bearing upon this subject,
the reader may possibly remember a smll book
published some years ago entitled the "Story of
a Penitent," and purporting to give, through the
medium of Dr. Hawks, of the Episcopal Church,
a "true story" of the last hours of Lola's life.
This little book is both effective and affecting
in a religious sense. The trouble is that I have
heard the truth of the account denied in tolo by
those who profess to have the fullest knowledge
with respect to it. I have been told by one of
Lola's most iatimale acquaintances that she died
in extreme destitution, forsaken by professed
friends, and writhing under extreme ajrony of
soul, and that her last words, instead of a
humbly-expressed hope of forgiveness, were
well, perhaps it is best not to write what they
were, but to throw the veil of charity over every
unkind report whose truth we cannot abso
lutely prove, and to hope, as I do, that her
peace was made on the same terms ot infinite
loving-kindness on which other slnren before
this have been made welcome and at home on the
other side of Jordan.
1 1 or nee at the Ilolliiiren.
Bismarck, whose physician ordered him re
pose, thought of coming to the united btates in
order to get it. Deluded man ! By such an in
tention he proved very plainly that he little
understood the American institution of . inter
viewing. To this torture Mr. Greeley has re
cently been subjected From his trip to Nassau
he returned quite ill with intermittent fever,
and, instead of proceeding to his suburban home
to practise what he knew about farming, he
took rooms at the Hoffman, arrayed himself in
a flannel dressing-gown, and tried hard to ex
ercise patience and stop swearing. The diffi
culty has been Increased and rendered almost
insuperable from the fact that the newspaper
reporters have flocked around the door of his
bedroom, for' it is so seldom they have an op
portunity of interviewing one of them
selves, so to speak, that when the oppor
tunity offers their assiduity knows no
bounds. But in Mr. Greeley they find a hard
task. He is said to be an extremely difficult
case to interview. In the first place, it is next
to impossible to gain admission to his presence;
and in the second, the only way by which he
can be made to say anything worth putng in
a paper is to betray him into a momentary fit
of spleen. Then, indeed, his shrill soprano
whine makes itself heard to some effect, and
he exhausts an entire thesaurus of blasphemy of
all the choice synonyms by which anathemas
can be expressed. ' As a sick man, he is far from
sweet. Were I a nurse he would not be my
favorite patient.
Weston's Walk.
In spite of the fact that the hundred miles
were bo accurately portioned off for Mr. Wes
ton, he has plenty of detractors who are fond of
saying that he never walked that distance in
twenty-one hours, and that they can prove it.
If there is anything that Mr. Weston is to be
particularly admired for, it is that he takes
pains to keep himself apart from the pedestrian
beats who seek notoriety at any cost. As yet he
has not taken the trouble to reply to his detrac
tors. Probably he Is too busy arranging how to
dispose in the most prudent manner of the
$1600. His present business of pedestrianism h
much more lucrative than his former one. Some
years ago, when he used to live at the Savory
House, near the Park House, Beekman street,
he was a poor book peddler. Hi dally tramps
were then wearisome enough, I ween, and he
had no suspicion that he would ever become a
champion walkist.
Wanting Public Money.
Mr. Fisk gives us music for the million on
Sunday evenings at his Grand Opera House,
and a number of equally charitable people pro
pose erecting baths lor the million at various
eligible points throughout this oity. Apropos
of this intention and of the design of the city
authorities to aid them in the matter, a member
of the Common Council arose yesterday, and in
an elaborate speech announced it as his opinion
that for the city to bear any portion of the
expense of publie baths was a shameful waste
of public money. That member is evidently
not of the opinion that cleanliness is next to
godliness. In spite of his denunciations, the
bath-houses are going up, and this summer the
as yet unwashed, majorities of Gotham expect
to become cuticularly clean. Axi Baba.
