/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.

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.

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. Y.,
