.Abe 1.• ene ork 7'intes correspondence Trout

A - ",Orthe tragedy of which we published atir se-
Acernut yesterday. The writer says;
;it is hard to ascertain the actual cause of
e murder, .but - it is, supposed that rum was
oxit the foundation. For some weeks previous
Aolt.Wood bad been on o spree and, getting
iltfaßpeared tolic - in - a - 411111 - inoody—con , l

fit is said, intelligence 'in relation
o,,his wife's chastity, though^ those who
40W her best say all reports were
Undlessas she has ever borne the very best'
'ol4lnracter. 'At all events, these reports worked
pillion him in.such a manner as to seriously dis
t- turb.bis mind. On Thursday of last week, in
• company with his wife. he proceeded to i ew
., burg on a visit to Mrs. Bingham, a relative of
the, family. While there he seemed to be in a
incitinlly crazed condition.
• On Saturday, in the morning, as the murder
.„
occurred at night. Wood went around among
'hl friends settling up little bills. and where
~- balances were left assured the parties that his
s6Nrife would settle them. On Saturday morn
alSo, he wrote a letter in which, in an in
-6'4lCoherent manner, he (revealed the state of his
AC:in/ad. He wrote that lie suspected his wife's
''l3.delity. The letter closedwith a farewell to
t'll-smother and sister ; the expression of ,a
:2fope that God would save him, and a request
rhat he might be buried just as they should
• Hitd him, with his clothes on.
- THE MiLIEDER.
He entered his residence at 6 o'clock Satur
olay evening, perfectly sober. Soon after he
a Mrs. Grimes, who resided up stairs
ttnthe sable house, heafd loud talking, and
lateard Mrs. Wood cry out in an agonizing
"Oh! ,Thsey, Josey, don't kill me!" She
rUelle.d to, the .street shrieking for help, when
ainan sixty years of age, named George net
responded, and going to the house, found
the outside door locked. He knocked loudly
-9 and said, et Joe, open the door." Wood imme
' diatet. - •came to the door and opened•it. When
-Metcalf passed in a horrible sight was pre- *
-sented.----to-his--vie-21ier.e—citithefloor near
the door lay the body of Mrs. Wood -Weltering -
in blood, her head hacked and mangled, her
throat disfigured with gaping wounds, the
r -back of her skull broken, her arm gashed and
her neck broken. 1t was indeedo sickening
Sight. The lounge was soaked with blood,
• the walls were spattered with human gore, a
pillow was drenched with blood, and hair and
clots of bloodwere everywhere. The maniac,
had struck his victim eleven times with a small
hatchet, the blade of which, four inches and
a half long, was covered with • hair, blood,
braille and pieces of flesh. Wood stood in
the centre of the room, and Metcalf said,
"Joe, , this is a bard thing,for you." The wretch
said not a word, but retreated to an adjoining
bed-room.
THE SUICIDE.
He soon emerged from it, brandishing in his
hand a razor. He raised it to _ hira tbroat,when
Metcalf advanced toward hintiftid caught hs
• arru t pulling it down - and_ letting go oft. i
Again the murderer raised the instrument to
his throat, and again Metcalf pulled it down.
Then, with his eyes rolling' wildly, the frert
ziel man made a rush at Metcalf, with up
lifted band holding the • razor, intending to
murder the latter. The 'old man's nerves
forsook him and he made a rush for
the open street to escape with his life, and
succeeded. As soon as he was gut of the
way, the murderer with one swoop cut his
throat clean from ear to ear, nearly severing
his head from his body, and fell upon the floor
'near the side of his dead wife a corpse, the
• blood tio'ifing in streams about the floor,
making the entire scene one of the most hor
rible-ever recorded. Metcalf was not gone
over a minute, but when he returned all was
.
over. Ten feet from the horrible butchery, in
its little crib'in a room adjoining, slept soundly •
• , the little boy Georgie, totally ignorant of:the
dreadful affair. As soon as the facts became
•••• known, hundreds ofpeople flocked to the spot.
All day Sunday it was the same. Sunday morn
. ing Coroner Haggerty impauelled a jur3t, but
the inquest was postponed till 10 o'clock this
• morning, when testimony corroborative of all
the above was taken, thejury rendering a
• verdict in accordance with the facts. - - Friends
of, the family were present during the inquest,
• and manifested the greatest grief. Mrs. Wood
was about 21 years of age. Her face, ..even
with its ghastly wounds, showed traces of
beauty. So far as her neighbors know, she
always conducted herself properly, and the
• suspicions that her husband entertained are
thought to be baseless.

ng, about five o'clock, C. (3. Myers, a son of
Alderman C. Myers, while looking at the
'culvert, at Twelfth and Turner's. lane, ob- .
served a reanrunning at the top of hid speed
across the fields, and at the same time heard
• in the distance the cry of "Stop thief." lie
at once
.gave chase, and ran the thief down
near Broad Street,/ arid — Policeman
Mather being near /at • band, the 'ar
rest was promptly Made, and the captive
taken to the office of Alderman Myers, at
Eighth and Germantown avenue. In the
meantime the citizens of the vicinity of Tenth
and Dauphin had captured another man, the
partner of the first mentioned, and taken him
to the office of Alderman Myers, where
the prisoners were • examined, and a
large lot of jewelry, gold and silver,
was , found upn their persons, which
was identified 'by Mrs. John Temple,
' 2303 orth Tent as her property. After the
• 'thieves were committedin default of $2,000
bail each, it was discovered that a large over
coat wore by one of them belonged to Mr.
Temple. There was also discovered secreted
aboiit their- persons four gold chains, which
were 'evidently' stole nand were not identified

A FREE RIDE AND WIIAT CAME OF IT.—
Mr. J. W. Paxsbn drove iu a carriage to
Twenty-second and Washington streets, yes
terday afternoon. He hitched his horse to a
telegraph pole while he went into a manu
facturing, establishment' to 'transact some busi
ness. In the meantime John Callahan came
along. He was pretty full of whisky. Ho un
hitched the horse, dumped into the wagon and
Idrove oil: At Fifteenth and Christian streets
the carriage was driven against a wagon be
longing to the Water Department and was
demolished. Callahan was taken in charge
by Policeman O'Brian, of the First District,
ou the charge of being drunk. Subsequently,
lir: Paxson recognized his team, and Callahan
vas charged with larceny. e was com
mitted for a further hearing by Alderman
.
THE SIMILAHITY OF N :\3II:9: II 7.TiT't
afternoon a despatch announcing the escape
of James - Haggerty was sent to all of the police
stations in the city. The operator at German
town got the matter, a little mixed, and told
the lieutenant to "he on the look-out for Lieu
tenant Haggerty, wbe has escaped." The po
licefuen were instructed accordingly,aud there
was a fruitless search "of several hours wade
for Lieut. Haggerty. During all this time
Lieut. *Haggerty, . who 'commands the Third
District pollee, was quietly performing his du
ties in his own district. lie looks upon the
matter as a pretty good joke.
BARN Hi:mill:D.—A large barn located upon
Belmont avenue in the Twenty-fourth Ward,
was discoveretyto be on fire shortly after 9
o'clock last ev ning. Owing to the Scarcity
of water in. that neighborhood the flames

Gstautstrus: In the year ISM I unfortunately was in
business in the A rtisan Buildint. which was destroyed
, by fire on the 10th'of April. I had then in use whet I
supposed was a-Piro-proof Safe, bat upon opening it I
found everything was destroyed,and Ore burning therein.
You i viill recollect, gentlemen, there was !several of
your safes in that fire, also severa l: in the fire at Sixth
anti Commerce streets, the nest May, five weeks after-',
warde, all of which upon being opened proved they
were firo-proof indeed, for I witnessed the opening of
the most of them, and in every case the contents were
Preserved, while eafes of other lookers , were partially or
entirely destroyed. lat once concluded to have some
thing that I could depend upon, and , purchased one of
your safes.
The safe I purchased of yon at that time was subjected .
to a white heat (which was witnessed by several gentle
, men that reside in the neighborhood) at . the destruction .
- of my Idarble Paper factory, 921 Wallace street, on the
aiternoon and evening of the 21th' inst. After digging - -
- , the este•from the. eitinsititilfd-,9rffing it this morning, I
was much pleased to find overything,Uciniiiiitinfror
books, papers, money and silverware, all right. I shall
scant another of your safes as soon as I can get a place
to 'continue my business in. I could not rest contented
with any other make
