VITIt IR Cr LILLETII4I. BORRII3LE BUTCHERY A MAN MURDERS HIS WIVE AND CHILDREN. HE THEN DROWNS HIMSELF. /MAILS OP THE FRIGHTFUL TB ii.GE DY. In a late edition of the Bueurrus of yesterday it was briefly announced that a woman and two children bad been found murdered at a house, No. 815 Judson street, in the Fifteenth Ward. The victim Bla cks t o ne tiorrible affair were Mrs. Isabella B. wife of James L. Black stone, and her two children, Lee and Catharine Blackstone. Mr. Blackstone was a member of the firm of Funston & Blackstone, picture-frame manufacturers, doing business at No. 912 Market street. Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock Mr. Funston received the following despatch from &lab Lee, father of Mrs. Blackstone, who resides at Madison, Connecticut: "Have received a letter from James that his wife and children are killed. Telegraph immedi ately." Mr. Funston Immediately wont to the house, No. 815 Jeidson street—a small thoroughfare running north from Brown street, west of Twenty-third. The front was entirely closed up. Several rings at the door-bell failed to get a re sponse. Mr. Fannon then proceeded to the Ninth District Police Station House, at T wenty third and. Brown. streets, and exhibited his des p_atelt to Sergeant Atkinson. Policeman Ell F. NeWiman was detailed to investigate the affair. He scaled the fence and got into the yard. The stainers of the kitchen window wore found bowed. The officer opened them and looked in. He then saw the murdered family lying upon the floor. The body of Mrs. Blackstone was lying about two feet from the range, her head to the south and ber feet to the north, the body being straight, one leg drawn up, as were her dress and skirts. She was attired in a red figured Maine, trimmed ab'ont the breast with black velvo; was fatly and warmly clad, and her dress was c'emplete in every particular, both shoes being carefully laced. Her right hand was across the left. Lying , ust below her left hip was the body of her fair-haired boy. He was neon his stomach, the left side of his lit tle face being on his mother's dress; his left arm was under him, and the right extended. The head was to the east and the feet to the west, pandarlor. very near Lying to the upon oo hie dr leadi to the back _ ar ng m, her • head also reatipg against and above the mother's hip, was the little girl, her face inclined to the south. The boy had on a white night-dress and the girl a figured mlabt-wrapper. Their little feet were close together. The poor mother's head was almost severed from her body, and the wounds in the children's heads were frightful. On the north side of th e furnace, resting against it and the jamb of the door on the west, was an axe smeared with blood, but the handle very little stained. The floor, where the head of the murdered woman lay, was soaked with blood, and a broad dark red, p'fiddle, which was extended to the kitchen door, had been stopped from running into the yard by a table cloth that had been rolled up to arrest the crimson tide. The kitchen in which the murder was commit ted was about ten feet square. Against the rear wall stood the clipboard, and at its side was placed theeink, and between this and the side wall was the door which opened into the yard. In the south wall of the kitchen was the window which opened out inks_ the little side yard, and through which Officer Newman gained entrance. In the corner formed by this wall and the dining-room partition was the range, and then the door which opened into the centre room of the house. In the dinieg-room everything betokened that the last meal had been supper, and that it had been partaktM of by the little family group on Sunday evening. The table was set with the tea-service; there were the cups, the saucers, the plates in the same condition as they had been left the evening before the discovery. There was nothing to indicate a struggle, since the disorder of the room was such as would be occasioned by a small family,in which there were playful children; scattered about the floor were toys and books, on the table lay a thimble, and almost beneath ' it, and right near to a rocking chair, lay the spool and needle and cloth, indi cating that the murdered woman had been en gaged in sewing. Between the table, which was a circular one, and the partition wall which divided the dining room from the kitchen, was a lounge, with its head to the door. It was covered with green rep; on this lay a comforter which trailed on to the floor, at its head lay a pillow, which bore a large spot of clotted blood; its fringe on the lower side was saturated. The carpet at the head of the sofa was saturated. The clothes on this sofa and the marks of the blood told plainly that the little girl had been sleeping there just before she was so hurriedly deprived of life. In the dining-room, in a book-case, was found a family Bible containing the following record: James Lindsey Blackstone and Isabella litiza both Lee, married August 20, 1857. James L. Blackstone, born in Brantford, Con necticut, August 24, 1882. Isabella Elizabeth Lee, born in Madison, Con necticut, December 20, 1835. Lee Blackstone, born August 16, 1861. Catharine Blackstone, born January 23, 1866. The parlor was small, but was well tarnished, and everything war in perfect order. Besides the ordinary furniture, it contained two handsome engravings, representing a shipwreck, and the saving of a mother and child from the wreck; there was also hanging against the parlor wall a certificate, of which the following Is a copy Honor eat Premium Virentia —This oerti 's at Isabella E. Lee lam merited the first h ' 1 : r t . ) excellence of scholarship in the study of • *t. composition atoi Algebra during the winter term of 1852, at the Young Ladies' Collegiate insti tute, New Haven, Conn. James hi. Linsley, principal." In the second story the front room contains a bedstead, bureau, and washstand of oiled walnut and of modern structure. Alongside of the bed stead IS a trundle bedstead, and k on each of these bedsteads time are marks of two persons having slept—adults in the large and children in the small one. The covering was turned down as though persons had just arisen. The under clothing of a man was at the foot of the bedstead upon the floor. Hero, as in every other portion • Of the house, are indications of comfort for the children. A small shelf is placed against the wall of the children's bed, so that a person in the Large bedstead could give them a drink. It was just large enough to hold a tumbler, and one was upon it, filled with water. A picture in the room represents a little fellow playing with a dog, which jumps Into its cradle. Upon the bureau were two gold watches, one of which stopped at 12.20 and the other at 1.20, and a box containing jewelry, a bracelet being among it with a daguerreotype of Blackstone taken in his youthful s. All of the drawers and a trunk in the roo d m ay contained clothing, and everything was in excellent order.. In the back room there was cottage furniture and children's apparel, the little muff of the child being a prominent feature. This room was not used as a chamber, but more as a store-room. A picture of a fine-looking old gentleman and old lady are neatly wrapped up as this room, no doubt the parents of the butchered woman. Dr. Bhapleigh, the Coroner's Surgeon, was soon present at the house, and first made an ex amination of the body of Mrs. Blackstone. The wounds were found to have been made by the sharp part of an axe; there was a gash through the middle of the chin,extending to the right and downwards four inches, and 2 inches deep, severing the root of the tongue, jaw-bone, rim: immediately below this, on the throat, was another gash, inflicted by the same instrument, four Inches in length, tiding the windpipe and ardlet, and reaching e spinal column; there was another, but very slight cut on the lower portion of the neck; on the head, back of and above the left ear, was a very severe contused wound; above the right ear, on the back of the head, was a wound 1% inches long; directly be- , bind the bead was a triabgtilitr ivound, made by the corner.of the blunt part of the axe; the bone was , depressed and fractured; on the right cheek there was also a aright contused wound. The other portions of the,body_bore no marks of violtince. The body of the little girl wee next examined. On the upper.part of 'the right side of the fore head a blow bad been.given with the head of the axe that had broken through the skin, crushed' the bone in pieces down upon the brain, and driven one piece through the skin on the left side 1 of the forehead ; on the other side of the front paxt of .the head was another contused wound of a similar character ; there was a wound near the right eye, and another near the left temple; the head back as well as front, was crashed almost to a jelly ; no other wounds Were discovered. The boy ha c i Been struck with the butt of the axe upon th right temple, and the bone frac tured. At the back and top of the head the skull was fractured, and a wound discovered two and a half inches long. On the left side, over the ear, was a wound an inch long. Back of and a little above that wound was another one and a half inch es also fractured. Onßehind the right sideth ofSkull the neck there was a gash, evidently made by two chops with the edge of the axe, three inches in length, cutting off a piece of the jaw -bone, and severing the jugular vein. How the murder was committed, of course, is all conjecture. The occupants of the next house heard the Blackstone family conversing in ordi nary tones about six o'clock on Monday morn ing. It is evident that at that time the murder was committed. The family was small and kept no servant, and the wife had risen to prepare breakfast. The first blow was probably struck when she was about to make the fire, for some pieces of kindling wood and coal were in the range, and one of her hands was smeared with some of the soot that had collected there. She had apparently been felled to the floor by a blow from an axe, and then struck twice with the sharp edge of the axe. She could make no,struggle—f or death must have been too su den. The little boy, Lee, may have run down who his mother did, and have seen the enactment of thid\ part of the tragedy; he may have en yelled from the room above by his mother's cries., However, he came into the kitchen,and the mur derer, catching his little son, beat his brains out with the pole of the axe Going into the dining-room where his little daughter lay, he murdered her- by boating the skull until its bony structure was entirely shat tered. After the tragedy was enacted, Blackstone did not seek in any manner to cover up the terrible affair. Ho stepped back into the kitchen, how ever, and after placing the bodies in the positions in which they wore found he went to the sink, took a small rag, and, with the aid of water, cleaned his bands of their red stains. Then placing upon the sink a boiler which might have been standing in the way he'left the scene of his butchery. Mr. Blackstone was not seen to leave the house, and the fact that the family was not beard on the premises alter the time stated did not excite suspicion. It was thought that they had gone out to spend the day and evening. After leaving the house Blackstone visited the office of a real estate broker, made an assign ment of some property, and theniwalked to the Delaware, intent upon putting an end to himself. When at Tbird and Market streets, he was seen by one of the officers of the Sixth Ward behaving in a singular manner, and supposing him to be insane he arrested him, but he broke away and continued towards the river. Upon reaching Chestnut street wharf he pulled off his coat and hat, threw them overboard, and jumped after them. Police Odenheimer got the articles out, and in examining the pockets of the coat found a handkerchief, on widen the name of Blackstone was NATillellr The fact of a man drowning him self at Chestnut street wharf was mentioned in the BULLETII , 7 of Monday, but at that time it was not known who he was or what a terrible deed he had just perpetrated. The body was recovered yesterday afternoon a short time previous to the discovery of the butchered family. About fourteen months ago, Blaekstono came to this city, and immediately became associated with Mr. Funston in the manufacture of glided frames at I'o.-912 'Market street. At the time when he came here, Blackstone did not bring his family, but left them in his native place, until such time as he should have prepared for their reception a home. He secured the dwelling, No. 815 Judson street, about one year ago, and Immediately his wife and two little children came on. The house was furnished with all the means of comfort; and it appears from those who had seen them at their own fireside that the members of the family were all cheerful and happy. The two children were thejoy of their parents. The father especially doted upon them. He never returned from his labor without bringing them some token of his affection. On the mantel shelf of the dining-room, just above the sofa on w bleb the little girl when killed, were crowded a variety of toys. The floor was scattered over with other playthings, and in every room was some present belonging to the children. Recently Mr. Blackstone was much depressed in spirits, and there is no doubt that a sudden fit of insanity caused him to commit the terrible deed of killing his family and then destroying his own life. In conversation with Mr. Finieten a short time ago Mrs. Blackstone stated that in sanity was hereditary in her husband's family. The book-keeper in the employ of the firm seems to have been keeping the accounts in a loose manner, and a defalcation had been discovered. Though small, the fact appears to have weighed heavily upon the mind of Mr. Blackstone, as be feared that be would sutler much financial em barrassment in consequence. He had not been to his shop on Market street since Saturday evening last; and then, before evening, he said to Mr. FlalletoD, "1 never before had such a dispo eition to look into the futnre,as I have now." Mr. Blackstone had recently entered into nego tiations for the purchase of a house in the north western part of the eity,but the sale was notmade, owing to Mr. Blackstone being disappointed in money matters. Mr. Watson, the real estate agent, states that about the 12th of March Black stone called upon him at his office in relation to the purchase of the property No. 2038 Master street. A few days after deceased, with hie wife and Mr. Watson, went to see the pro perty, and tinnily said he would purchase it, and paid ilsloo on account as purchase money. The property was to be deeded to his wife, and a receipt was given accordingly. Deceased again calnd on Mr. Watson on the 25th of March, and eesitt d to be released from his contract, saying he bed given up the idea of purchasing the house, and that he wanted to go West, and would go at once. Alter some conversation, an appointment was made with deceased for Monday last, w hell he was to have called and brought back the dud. He did not call, however. Mr. Watson WO3 waited upon by the Harbor Police, yester day, and shown the receipt found in deceased's pocket. Mr. Watson then wont to Chestnut Street Wharf, und recognized the body as Black- EtOrK'd. Mr. Watson thought deceased acted strangely in his interviews with him in relation to the property. Although Dot a member, Blackstone generally attended the Central Congregational Church, on Eighteenth street, near Wallace, and was seen there on the Sabbath about thr e weeks ago, with his whole hmily. The bodies of the deceased , mily were re movi d to the house of Mr. Cyrus Horne, under- Wier, last evening. This morning some of the relatives arrived from Connecticut, and this t veiling the bodies will be taken to that State for toilet. ' The news of the terrible tragedy spread over the city with great rapidity, and In the neighbor hood of the occurrence there was much excite ment. In front of the house a large crowd gathered in the afternoon, and remained until long after nightfall, every body eager to learn the details of the frightful affair. To-day there wasanother assemblage of people in the street, gazing upon the house which bad been the scene of such a butchery, almost unparalleled in history. LARCENY.—Joseph Steele, George Smith and Alex. Harvey were before Ald. Bonsall this morn ing upon the charge of larceny. It is alleged that last night they went among the individuals who deep on cellar doors in the neighborhood of Seventh and Sbippen streets and stole the shoes from their feet. The accused were sent to prison. PASSENGER RAILWAY A.CCIDENT.—Richard Lloyd was run over by a Germantown Passenger Railway car, at Fourth and Master streets, last evening, and had a hand shockingly mangled. The injured hand was dressgd by Dr. Shapleigh, but It will have to be amputated. PASTOR CALLED.—At a coneregational meeting of the merabers of the Second Reformed Church, Seventh street, above Brown, hold on Monday evening, Rev. Alexander B. Thompson, D. D., of New York, had a call extended to him to become pastor, by a vote of about 60 members.

BROKE Hun LEG.--Ellen McCabe, aged fifty years, fell down stairs at her residence, No. 611 South Front street, list evening, and broke her leg. She was taken to the Pennsylvania Hos pital. OPENING OF THOS. KENNEDY & BROS.' NEW STORE.—WO have already predicted in these columns that the completion of Messrs. Thos. Kennedy Sr, Bros.' new marble store, No. 729 Chestnut street, would introduce anew era in the Retail Millinery Business of Philadelphia, and to day our prediction in this regard is to be fully re alized. Their superb new warehouse has at last received its finishing touches, and is in all re spects ono of the most complete and graceful ornaments to the mercantile ar chitecture of our city. Yesterday we vis ited the various 'departments of the store, and were charmed, not only with the su perb finish and arrangement of the building, bat with the elegant stock of Bonnets, Hata, and Millinery Materials that Is therein displayed. This is especially true of their magnificent new Retail Department, which, to-day, for the first time, is thrown open to the public. The spacious and beautifully-lighted first floor of the edifice is appropriately set apart for this department, and the exquisite floral, and we may say artistic display which the long rows of cases now present, we know will make every lady coincide in the opinion that in thee department of Retail Millinery a brilliant new era has emphatically dawned upon our city. In the more artistic French Bonnet decora tions, such as ,bowers, &c., their stock may well challenge the entire competition of America, the proverbial good taste which has characterized the importations of Messre. Kennedy & Brothers for many years having been more than equalled in their present magnificent display. There is, in short, no novelty of consequence in the markets of Europe or America that is not found first at this well-known and popular Millinery Empo rium. We will .merely add, in conclusion, that the great facilities enjoyed by this firm enable them to sell at remarkably reasonable prices, and this applies with equal force to both their Retail and wholesale departments. TRH Faty-rimm of the Spring trade at 03k Hall Is struck in the advertisement which has been in our columns this week. It is to be a "lively and quick sale." Men have to have Spring and Sum mer clothing, and if they can be accommodated as to prices and suited as to materials and style, why should they not make immediate purchases instead of waiting until Fall and Winter are again near at hand before making the proper and sea sonable changes in their clothing ? IMPORTANT DacisroN.—By reference to a card In our advertising columns of to-day, it will be seen that the Examiner at the Patent Office at Washington has decided that the Boston and Philadelphia Salt Fish Company have the exclu sive right to manufacture desiccated cod fish under the Cutler patent. This, as we understand It, establishes their sole right to manufacture In the United States, throwing all others out of the market. FINE A/I'M—The extraordinary art sale of American oil paintings and crystal medallions belonging to the American Art Gallery, N.
