CRIME. TERRIBLE RIME IN CHIGIGO, A Young Girl Attempts to Murder Her Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters by Giving Them Strychnine. From the Chicago Journal of the 20th we.ex tract the following particulars of a fearful tra gedy, information of which we have already pub lished in our telegraphic columns : Residing at No. 810 alurch street is a family named Stang. The head of the family, Andrew Stang, is an industrious, well-to-do German gar dener, and has by hard work and economy amassed a considerable sum of money. His family consists of a wife and five children. Of the latter, Elizabeth, who bears her mother's name, and whose age is sixteen, is the eldest. It is Elizabeth who, dead to all impulses of affec tion is charged with having attempted to consign her dearest relatilves to a premature death. It ap pears that she letaalways been rilsource of cease less anxiety to her parents. From her earliest infancy she has displayed an irresistible inclina tion to steal any thing of the slightest value which came within her reach. As she grow older this evil propensity more fully developed, until at last she reached a point entirely beyond re-. straint, and it became necessary to have her ar rested, which was done, and for a year she was confined in an asylum, in hopes that that course might work a reform. But this step failed in accomplishing the de sired purpose, for after her release she persisted in her course of depravity, and on every oppor tunity which presented would steal from any body with whom she came in contact. Her mother was a constant victim to her rapacity,and only two weeks ago Elizabeth robbed hero, $2O, and more recently still of various other sums of money. With the fruits of her dishonesty she would leave the house and not return until It had all been spent. Each time that she came back her parents received her with open arms, hoping over and over again to reform, by their counsel, the child who to them was all the world, in spite of the dreadful trouble and anxiety she caused them continually. Matters went on thus up to Saturday, when the deed which has shocked the community at large was perpetrated. She happened to be at home. On that day it devolved upon her to cook the dinner. While preparing the coffee, a ybunger sister, named Kathrina, noticed a white sub stance floating on its surface, and asked what it was, and was told that it was only some flour. The meal was at last ready, and the whole family, excepting Kathrina, consist ing of Mr. and Mrs. Stang, Rosa, aged twelve years, and Andrew, four yew, sat down to partake of it. Several of them noticed that the coffee had a peculiarly bit ter taste, but- all drank of it, the father drinking the whole of a large cup full, the mother and Rosa taking about half a cup each, and the little boy drinking quite freely of it. It soon began to do its work, and the mother remarked that she feared they were poisoned, but Mr. Stang only laughed at the idea. He was, how ever, speedily undeceived, for soon the whole family were taken with the most violent vomit ing and retching, and now, thoroughly alarmed, medical assistance was called, Dr. J. Milton Bowers being summoned. He arrived at the house at a few minutes past two o'clock, about half an hour after the meal was eaten. A most horrible, scene presented itself. Father and mother, daughter and son, were writhing in intense agony; the little boy was apparently in the last agonies of dissolution, the extremities cold and palseless. Little Kathrin t a who alone had not partaken of the deadly mixture, witnessed the awful scene. She was stricken with terror. The doctor ex pressed his opinion, from statements made In regard to the peculiar taste of the coffee, that strychnine had been administered to the sufferers. He employed the usual antidotes, and, after hours of labor, finally saved the poisoned patients. Elizabeth, in the meantime, had thrown away the coffee that had not been used, and escaped. The doctor found it necessary to procure a sam ple of the death-bearing mixture, and learning where the would-be murderess had thrown what had been left,succeeded in collectln'g sufficient for purposes of analysis. Detectives were employed to ferret out the fiendish daughter, and subsequently succeeded in arresting her. It is a difficult matter to farm any conclusion as to the motives which induced Elizabeth to commit the horrid crime. She asserts that her parents treated her in a harsh and cruel manner; that her father made her work very hard, com pelled her to peddle vegetables for years past;that her mother used to swear at her in a horrible manner, call her bad names and constantly threa tened to send her to the Reform School; also that her mother used to beat and abuse her so that owing to the noise the neighbors would rather round the house. On Saturday morning she says her mother beat her in a brutal manner. She denies having put any poison in the coffee and says she believes that her mother did it. The strychnine had been bought by her at her mo ther's request that morning, to be used in kill ing rats. This morning the victims ere in a compara tively comfortable condition, and are undoubt edly past all danger. The girl will be arraigned at the Armory this afternoon. As those she poisoned are not Able to appear against her, she 'will be formally remanded to jail to await their recovery. THE BANK OF THE REPUBLIC 808. HEWN IN NEW YORK. Additional Facto Relative to the Cap. ture of the Alleged 1111evesi...tiour the Pollee Got their Information. It would appear that the means by which the detectives were put upon the track of the alleged robbers of the Bank of the Republic were not so extraordinary nor so mysterious as certain of the detectives concerned would have the public to believe. The facts in the case which relate to the arrest of Edwin Weed are as follows: A money broker in this city was called upon on Saturday afternoon by Weed, who had been previously la the habit of paying him occasional business visits. Weed stated that he desired to b..rrow $1,600, mid when asked what collateral he was to give he mentioned Missouri bonds. The broker told him that he would give him the check for the amount at his brother's office on Monday, at which place at a certain hour be could bring the collateral. The broker's brother-In-law happening into the office shortly after Weed's departure, the former spoke, of the loan desired by Weed, when the brother-in-law called his attention to the fact that the Bank of the Republic had a few days before lost certain Missouri bonds, and that in all pro; liability the bonds held by Weed were the identical bonds that bad been stolen; and in this belief he was all the more strengthened by the revelation, as it is alleged, that Weed's name had occupied a promi nent niche of notoriety lb the Lord bond-rob bery revelations. The broker, who had not be fore given a thought to these circumstances, on being thus reminded of the character of the per son with whom he had to deal and the discretion that was necessary to be observed in keeping his brother-in-law's suspicion from all but official ears, the following day (Sunday) paid a visit to Inspector Leonard, of the Metropolitan Police, at the latter's residence, and made him acquainted with the fact of Weed's visit to his place, and the kind of collateral that had been promised. He, moreover, informed the in spector that he was not desirous of appearing in the case, and had called upon him merely as a personal acquaintance, in order that he might do as, ho saw fit in the matter. As the broker was unwilling to g , o to Police Headquarters and thus make himself known in the capture that was to ensue, and as Inspector Leonard had other police occupations to engage his attention just at the time Weedy was to call ler the cheek and deposit the security goads.- The-latter - hurried to-the, Caitral office the following morning, and -accosting the first detective he met in the banding, he communicated to him the fact of Weed's proposed visit, • .te., and then accom panied him to within a short distance of Mehra. liar's office. Of course the detective in question, • 'with Weed se 1l were placed under his very nose, lout no alternative but to arrest him the moment, Jae called in the office and it had been ascertained to a certainty that the bonds the suspected man deposited as collateral were of the number of the bonds 'Aoki: from the bank. Weed once arrested otml readily confessing that he had received the t o * f r om Miles Murray L with whom he was to bon van appointment on Sixth street and Second attleMse :the very moaning of the arrest, the sip ion of Mtirray was a very tame affair. . .r. fiamid.

Mar doch gave a reading at Concert Hall, last. eve ning, Wan immense audience. Mr. Murdoch is, at any time, sure to have a full house when he appears upon the platform. His' pure and ele vated patriotism, the noble and unselfish work performed by him during the war, and his earnest and hearty advocacy of the cause of the Union haveglven him a hold upon the hearts of the people such as no other man in his posi tioncan hope to obtain. If these did not ant deo to attract the publics to his entertainments, Lis eadzuscit tarot would. Mr. Murdoch is the THE DAILY. EVENING BULLETIN.-EHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1868. most accomplished and finished elocutionist in this country. Ho has brought the art to' its highest and nicest perfection, and natural and graceful as are his inflections, there is not one of them that is not the result of careful study. It was generally thought that Mr. Murdoch would read selections from Dickens last evening, Tor the purpose of showing how very superior his style is to that of the Immortal Charles. This was not the case. Mr. Murdoch read but a single chapter froth "Pickwick," and he expressly stated that ho did so at the earnest solicitation of the gentlemen under whose aus pices the reading was given. It would be absurd to attempt a comparative criticism of the two men as readers. Mr. Murdoch's style Is wholly and altogether different from that of Mr. Dick ens. ' That of the former is the very perfection of elocutionary art, and where Mr. Dickens sim ply minri.a and personates, Mr. Murdoch, with very little attempt at constantly changing facial ' expression, only declaims. In character parte, Mr. Murdoch, de spite his triumphs upon the stage, is not as suc cessful as he is as a reader of poems such, as the "The Sleeping Sentinel," and Mr. Boker's "On Board the Cumberland." The episode from "Pick wick" was admirably done, last night, but Mr. Murdoch was hardly so successful even as Mr. Dickens in giving.vitality to the familiar person, ages of the piece. The entertainment, however, was very enjoyable, and the audience constantly testified to their heartyappreciation by applaud ing. It is to be hoped Mr. Murdoch will be induced to give a series of these readings in this atty. His personal popularity, apart from the attractive ness of his style, will insure success. THs THEATRES.—At the Chesnut Mr. John E. Owens will appear in The Victims and Forty Winks. Lady Don, at the Arch, will appear in The Ladies Club and Lalla Rookh.
