A DOUBLE TRAGEDY, WALTER KIMP KILLS HIS WIFE A5B HIM SELF T srRISGFIKLB, ILL The llusbnnrt Fellows Ills Victim, Who Elopes With Henry Deerr, Jr., Three Menth Ap, ami Hlacevera Them. Shortly before nix o'clock en Wednesday evening a dispatch Hint startled a great many poeplo of this city was received ever the Western Union wire. It wns ns follews: Nrjttxemxn, 111., Juneai, 18M. Otcar M. lamp, Lancattrr, lu Wnltcr Hamp shot himself nnd wire this morning. What shall he dene with the bodies. J. HnrrvnuAMP, Corener. The messenger te whom the dispatch im entrusted hurried te the home or the per son te whom 11 was. addressed at 210 West James street. Mr. I lamp sent vv erd of the terrihle deed te his mother, who resides a short distance from his home, and she was almost wild with grief. The nevvs seen becaine the property of the town, nnd everybody was talking alieut It. Cerenor HetTcrcamp's mossage told a fearful story of a murder and sulfide, whose both victims wcre well-known Lancaster people. Oscar Ilnmp, brother of the dead mnn, was seen by a reKrter and he knew no mero about (he tcrrible dced than the news of the telegraph brought. He said that his brether was 29 years or nge and he was a son of Elizabeth Hamp, whose home Is en West James street. Between .six nnd seven ycais age he married Amanda, a daughter of Samuel Kissinger, who lives en West King street, who was several years his senior. She was thlrty-lluoe years of nge when killed. She was man led twice before her last hus band united his fortunes with her. She was divorce 1 from lier first husband, te whom she had one. child ; she was then married again, but her husband died nnd she married Ilnmp, taking the child of her first husband with her. They managed te get along well together until some months age, when theie was trouble between them en account of Henry Deerr, jr., u young butcher of this city, and hiiusclt a mar ried man, who had ncpaiated from his wife en account of his bad behavior. Deerr became, veiy attentive te Mrs. Hamp and succeeded In gaining her affections. Iist fall Deerr, who was without employment, was taken hyOscnr Haiuplohlsheino. The wife of Wnltcr IMIed her hrethcr-lii-l.iw 'h heuse quite frequently and theiotlie Inti macy, which lesiillcd in thistragedy,bt gan. Walter was net iiiihoedfulof this ntl'ectieu "and he qiiariclled with Oscar for keeping Ids wite there. He accused Oscar of estranging his wife and the two bielhers were net en speaking terms after that. While Deerr w as Idle he paid no beard and Oscar Hamp warned his brother's wife te keep aw ay from the house. She ald no attention and the two levers met at differ-" ent placue, en the quiet. Walter w out out West in the fall, having icccived a position ns a sheep herder at Dig Springs, Mentana territory." While lie was aw ay from town his wife nnd Deerr had everything their own way. Three months nge "they left town together, nnd their departure caused much talk nmeng the scandal chcweix. Ne one knew where they 'had gene, but every one suspected that they wcre living together somew here in the West. Several weeks nge Walter Hamp came back te Lancaster. Before, mining he learned el the departure of his wife and horpniameur, and found out that they weie together In ' Springticld. He liccnme greatly depiesscd in spirit ever the elopement, and went te his mether's home te stay. Thursday et last week he had a talk with Chief Smeltz, of the pelice force, and asked him te find his w ife. Chief Sincltz communicated with the Springfield atitlieilties and found that Deerr was running a butcher shop at Tenth and Washington streets-,that city. Last Saturday Chief Smeltz told HaiiipwliHtlieli.nl learned fiem Sprlug Sprlug fleld. Tim latter said that he should w rite te Chief of Pelice Donelsen, and send him n photograph of Mis. Hamp. The chief did this and scut a letter asking Chief Donelseu te wnlch Peerr's butcher shop, and te ascertain if Deerr and the women were scen together, and then telegraph their wiiorcaheuts. Hamp said he wanted no action taken until after the August term of court, wiinn he intended prosecuting Deerr for bigamy, larceny and adultery. Hamp claimed thai Deerr stele sonie of his goods when he nd Mrs. Hamp went West together. Hamp thought it best te In lug Deerr te this county nnd then punish him by pro cess of law, as lie knew tli.it he had a (lead case against liiiu. On Monday of this week Hamp and the chief had another talk ever the matter, and the latter told w hat had been done. In talking eer the matter Hamp said, "New I mil satisfied, let every thing as it is until alter the August com t. " Alter leaving the station house Hamp went te his mother's and told the folks that he intended going away. He mild he would go te Geulen villi', whei olds brother, who is n butcher, lives, and would then leave for Dig SpiingH, Mentana, where he had been befeie. His mother gave him some money, but net as much as lie asked for nnd he led Iuieaster eh Fast Line, ever the Pennsylvania niilie.id en Monday af ternoon. On the way te the train he met sevcial pei sous te whom he talked In an excited in. inner about the trouble w itli his wife. An iNTM.i.KiKM'Kii icpetter, who knew him, well, saw and kikjIie te him en North Queen sticet whiln tiying te nrike the train, but lie nceiued very much excited and acted wildly. Te a friend n lined Kshlcman, wliem he met en West King street, he said: "I am going te kill my wilennd then in sell." Kshlcman thought nothing of the matter, but believed it te 1)3 a jeke and said nothing of the matter until he heard of the terrihle ending of Hamp and his wife. On Wednesday afternoon, about the time that Oscar Hump learned el" his brother's death, Chief of Police Smelt;. recel ed a dis patch fiem Chief Donelsen informing him of the tragedy and asking him w hat should be done. Oscar Hamp thought et going te Spiiug field ter the dead bodies, but after a con sultation witli his mother lie aiiaugcd te have the bodies shipped te Lancaster by Adams Fxpicss as seen as possible. Oscar Hamp says that upon different oc casions he has heaid Walter My that he would kill his wife if she loll home. At tinies slie told him that she would leae him and he would then make his tluc.it. II. F. Davis, who Is atterney for the Hani ps, says that Walter was te see him en Monday when he spoke of the trouble with ids wife. The attorney did net seem te be surprised at the deed. He said that he had feaied theie would beatiagedy. When he learned that Walter had iieaid where his wife was, he tried te persuade Idni net te go there, as he feared he would commit a desivorate decsl. Frem an investigation made this morn ing it " appears-that Hamp was a very Jealous man, nnd especially m of Deerr. His family were nfrnld nt times that he would de something dcsjiernte, as he always carried a revolver, and fio fie fio (piently said that he would kill Deerr and his wife if he saw them together. Upen ene occasion he nut his wife en the street, when he bid .hid revolver. He then threatened te sheet her, l but she succeeded In pacifying him mid he left her apparently In a geed humor. She waa greatly relieved when he went West In March last with a brother of Jehn GUI. He sld he would go West and provide a home, nfter which he would send for her. Just ene week before she eloped with Deerr her husband sent for her te go te bint. The first Imshnnd of Mrs. Ilnmp was Jehn Oumpf, new a resident of Marietta, who was divorced from her. They had a son whose name is Harry; he is 15 yes is of age and resides in this city. Iter sec ond husband was William FiezerJ who died about two years nge, leaving her some estate.lncliidlng a house en Derwart street, Some years nge the rlty cut a street through the grounds for which she was vdd damages. After a titne she sold (he property and purchased another en West Chestnut street. Her husband putlMXIef his money Inte this property. They lived there for a time and then hought heught a house en Ceral street. Walter paid 8290 en the properly, which they owned at the time of their deaths. When Hamp went West he sold off their personal property and realized considerable money. He took sulllclent te pay his fare te Dig Springs, Mentana, putting the re mainder in bank In his wife's name. It Is said that she afterwards drew and spent paitef this and before she left with Deerr she collected the rent of the Ceral streel house. It was believed lately that Hamp would hae nothing mere te de with his wife. He said as much and seemed anxious befere quitting her te obtain the$7'.Kl that he had put Inte the properties. His folks were under the impression thai If he went te Sprlngtield he would obtain this money and then leave his wife. It is likely thai they went te the alderman's elllce, where the tiagedy occurred, te transact sonie business. He succeeded in getting a pho phe pho tegiaph of his wife, and had a half dozen copies of it made) at Kote's. One of thcs0 he bent te a friend In Springfield, and another he gave te the chief, who sent it te the authorities at Springflcld. Mrs. Hamp was much elder thin the young man with whom she ran away, as heragewas thlity-thrce years. Deorr is a son of Henry Deerr, the well-known Water street butcher, and he is very respectably connected. He is about 28 years of age nnd was mrrried sonie years age te a Miss Sheck, w he formerly worked In the watch facteiy and al the Stevens house. They iiad eiie clilld.but were nimble te get along together and separated. Deerr worked for years for his father at butchering, but before leaving Lniicaster he was employed by dltlerent parties. His wife Is living in Philadelphia rccently. About ten days age Hamp went licfore Alderman Spurrier and made complaint against Ids wife and Deerr, charging thein with bigamy an 1 larceny. Heelalmed that they had been married In Pittsburg and he said that when they left Ihey took a, let of Ids effects. He visited the alderman's ofllce many dilferent times In regaid toihe case. The alderman thought it best te have the case returned te the August court and thou bring the offenders hore after indict ments had been found. Hamp was well satisfied with this. , On Monday of this week he called at Spurrier's for the last time, and when he left lie said he was going te leek for some additional evidence against the pair. Last w inter a year nge Hamp w as in the Seuth and started te ceme home en a sail ing vessel, which get Inte a storm and was wiecked. He had a terrihle expe rience for seme days, nnd was almost freen befere he reached his home in tills vity, w here he seen roeevcrod. On Monday last Walter K. Hamp, tlneiigh Ids attorney, D. F. Davis, issued a-i attachment against Ids wife, Amanda Hamp, and Shciiff Ilurkliolder, by virtue of that wilt, attached the heuse Ne. lOti Ceral street, belonging te Mrs. Hamp. 4 Tim following dispatch will explain hew the tragedy took place: JIi: llltKS FOUlt MIIOTS.

Alieut two months nge Henry Deerr and a woman, whom he represented te be his wife, came licie nnd settled down, te ii quiet niodeof life, Deerr buylijg out a meat market, which he has since rim. The pelice a short time nge received Informa tion that he was wanted at Lancaster, Pa., nnd have since had him under sur sur sur voillance. At four o'clock this morning Waller Hamp nirlved nnd learned from the pelice the whercalHJiils of Deerr and tlie woman whom he said was his w lie. Later in the morning Hamp met his wife and thou went te Justice Kenny's ofllce te have some juipcrs drawn in the matter of an ngieemcnl te which they had both con sented. The justice stepped down stairs te get a blank en which te draw the agree ment mid as he loachedthofootof tlie stairs he heard four shots in quick succession. He lushed back te the room and found both Hamp and his wife dead en the tloer. Hamp hail discharged three shots into her breast, and ene into his own forehead. Tlie holes In her breast could net be covered by a silver dollar. The authorities will ship tlie bodies en Friday morning. Deerr is in jail en a charge or bigamy, which he docs net deny.

TNE DISTMGUIMEB LANCASTER C01.NT1AN F1ME8 AWAY 03 WENESBAY. Ills End Cemes In the Early Kveulnji. Senater Cameren Leave Europe The Bedy te Be Interred nt llnrrlsbufK. A tncssage received by the IstTKLunEN ckr at 0 o'clock Wednesday night an nounced the death of Gen. Simen Cameren. He died about 8 o'clock, and was conscious up te the last moment. Several of his children and nephews weie around the deathbed when the cud came. His death was peaceful, life departing, gradually. Just previous te the sinking spell which terminated fatally the general appeared te recognize several friends who, had called. Ills general condition, while very weak, was such that the docteis had hopes that .0t3j&nfi i'i'.iWW;' his life might le prolonged until the return ofSenater Den Cameren, who had cabled that he would sail from Liverpool during the day. The funeral will likely be postpenod until the arrival of the senator. The inter ment will be made al Harrishurg, where his wife was burled. The body of General Cameren will be taken te Harrishurg this evening, from which place the funeral will take place. The 1nti:i.likncf.ii has already pub lished a sketch orthellfoof General Cam Cam eeon, but the following additional details are of interest. He was named after Ms grand lather, Simen Cameren, the first in tlie American line, who was an agriculturist. His first work in the new world was as tenant farmer for the Presbyterian society, of which the Cameieus formed an iniNrtaiil lirt. A minister of this denomination named Celin Mae Farqiihar, with seme ether adherents of the faith, had emigrated Willi the Cninoreii family; they built a small church in Denegal township, around which tlie Presbyterians of tlie section naturally settled, mid the lauds ac quired bv this primitive congregation were farmed by the elder Cameren. He led a life of hiituhle tell, and died through ever exertion and oxiesuro during a harvest season. His eldest son Charles hail lirst worked en the farm, but removed te the illage of Maytown near by upon the death of his father. He learned the trade of a tailor, and fellow ed that calling all his life amid poverty and nevcr-ccasing caie mid toil. Ills wife's maiden iiaine was Martha Pfeiitz. She was a daughter of Cenrad l'feut, who rcsidisl near Stnisburg, In which nclghboiheod many descendants of the family are yet lemi'd. The Pfeutzes were Huguenots, and came (e America, as did most of the Continental German emigrants, that they might enjoy religious liherty. Chailes Cameren's wife was a weitiiy woman of gieat energy, but neither her economy nor the industry of the father could i also tlie family te circumstances of comfort. Te this ceuple was bum at Maytown en the bill or March, 1790, the subject or this sketch. His father thought te better his fortunes by romevlngto Sunbiiry, butnfter a year's struggle there, tlie family went te Union county j there it was broken up, nnd the boy Simen was ndopted into tlie lauiily of Dr. Gralil. Mr." II. Gress, of Maiihciui, s.iy.s that "General Cameren's mother wns a gieat woman. She labored for her children with a 7eal mid energy of which few mothers al this day would be capable, and It was her (caching and example mid native mental ferce which marked the life of her boys with tliose strong characteristics which have enabled them te make their mark In life. " Tlie old slerekeejier in Maytown often told of his stnigulcs te get Ids tlrst book in geography. When Sert) years old, after tluee months of effort, enough of the odds and ends of the economy left fiem the dally demand for bread was saved up, Tliese wcre carried te the country store by the ley who has for uighlHe generations swayed the destinies of ene of tlie gieatest commonwealths in tlie new- world. When tlie iK-imies wcre counted out tlie merchant shook his head and said : " There nre only 73 cents, Simen, and the book costal," As the boy thought of the struggle he had made le accuiiiulate what he had, and still the prle wns far nwav, tlie tears rushed le nis eves. Tlie merchant rnlciibsl nnd taking him by the shoulder s-iid : "Simen, you are a geed boy mid you can have tlie' book, and you can jiay me the ether 27 cents when you get it." 'He lived te lepay the 27 cents and te de the man who thus served his childish ambition many needed favors. He bes-nme a printer, but seen deter mined te have a paper of his own, mid started one, as alicady told, in Mucks county. After iiinuiiig this aw idle and making many friends, anil beiugagre.it handshaker, he resolved te become a can didate for state printer, and was elected. There was inoiiey it in. Then he get into the wav of lending money te ambitious men who wanted te stmt country papers In various jiarts of Pennsylvania, and tak ing proper collateral in every case. Mo Me Mo fero many years he had claims en opin ions in nil sections of the state. They weie bIw ays safe investments, for he generally get his money back and kepi outstanding debts of gratitude which were paid dining election times with " comieuiid interest." His last years wcre passed in retirement varied by travel. In September of l&sO he was nominated for Congress from Dauphin county, but declined the honor. In the spring of PS1 he jtald a visit te Flerida and ether ikirlsef the Seuth, extending his trip le Cuba and the Daliamae. Mr, Cameren married Miss Margaret Mruu. a daughter of Fetor Urua. of Harris- burg. The ceuple had six chlldicn, three sons Donald, Simen, Jr., and lima, who wnsmaire an army isiymaster when his father was secretary of war and three daughter Itachel, Margaret mid Virginia. Kachel married Judge liurnxlde, of McIIo McIIe McIIo fente, nnd was long Mr. Cameren's house keeper nt Harrislmri nod elsewhere. Margaret married Richard J. Huldeman, the well known Deinocrntleev-coiigieu!,-man. nud Virginia married llie Hen. Wayne MacNV.igli, who was Garlleld's attorney general. General Cameieii celebrated his iiinu tletu aunivetsary of his birth en March a mtm&-'.' ' iKllluilH Vj: last, and friends called, telegrams of con gratulation wcre received, nnd hundreds of letters from all parts of the country poured In upon the veteran ntatesman. One letter i-.une from his old friend, the Inte Colonel Samuel Shech, the aged banker at Colum bia, who conveyed his geed wishes and kindly sentiments in poctie measure. The Legislature called upon him In a body. The tall form of General Cameren was te the end erect In carriage. He was bread shouldered and weighed eitiaps ISO pounds. Ills eating,- drinking and sleeping wcre done systematically, and ns a consequence he has never been is hours unwell In his life, Ilislng lietweeu 7 and H o'clock, he would take a toast or chop or a few soft Imlled eggs for breakfast. After this reisist he would read or receive visi tors tilt II o'clock, when he took cham pagne. This he has dene every day for M) years, and he says it has prolonged his I Ife 21) years. It used te be a quart of Cilquet or Poinmery Sec, taken with the relish of a connoisseur, but of late years tlie quantity was cut 'down considerably, until never mero than a pint was used, and very frequently th" wine was entirely emitted. At neon he dlued. Iteast meat and vege- tibles and baked apples were his fnvorlles. but he had no use for luistry, and would say Jocularly that tlie pin eaters, like the geed poeploj nil die young. After dinner he would take a nap fur a half te thrco-quailersof an hour, and the remainder of the afternoon he would 1st, when net leceivlng visitors, a " literary feller. ' The slipper at (1 o'clock was nlw ays made up of iimsli and milk or milk toast, and by a ociecic, wittier or summer, nie agisi statesman retired for the night. He did net rotlie In sleep, howevcr, as a light at the head of Ills bed might nearly always be seen burning until 11, and sometimes until 1 o'clock. The general long had a habit of reading himself te sleep. He was still de voted te his leng-time favorites among standard authors, Dickens and Thackeray. A carotid writer In the Philadelphia 2W praph thus estimates his character: Simen was endowed with strong common sense, and upon this foundation he reared a su su erstructure of oxjierleiice and weildly wisdom that In the abstract almost any man might envy. These served a better puriKise In his case than all the learning that iie could have get fiem colleges. Hu man natuie is tlie volume ever whose pages he pored, and he knew every line en overv page by heart. Given a man whose services were desirable, he fasliiemsl his means le the necessity of the case. Many politicians followed him simply because his llama was a guarantee of a ceitain sort of success, and the distribution of Nisiils lay hi his hand. Others did his bidding through abject fear of tlie con sequences of rebellion. .Moreover, there w ere net a few whom hocenlrollcd through ethers, and who weie themselves uncon scious, perhaps, Unit the hand of Cameieii was laid uteii them. He would reach around adeen men or put a dozen soviet springs in motion te touch an object other wise inaccessible. A tender regard for his supKutcrs ami jealous caie for their lnloi lnlei ests, rare cunning, a dear insight into the depths of a jvelitical pioblem, strong com mon sense, a coiimge that fed en omxmi emxmi omxmi tien and an ambition that knew no limita tions except the limitations of life itself these were seme of tlie things that contrib uted most te Simen Cameren's success In lire. At ids birthday dinner in ItMl, Mr. Cam Cam eeon said : " 1 have made 11 a rule of life te be kind te everyone and considerate of ail. Yet I have iiiade enemies, because I have had opinions and assei ted them. Hut this has brought me fi lends also. 1 have lived long and seen much of life, nud when I am geno all I ask is that ix-ople can say that I did the best I could, and was ever true te toy obligations and my friends."
