Terrible Tragedy in the First Ward
A Man Shoots a Woman and then Commits
Suicide.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST
At N 0.1308 South Ninth street, in a three- .
storied brick house, resides Mr. Howard A.
ollOWay, with his family, - consisting' of his
wife and one child. Employed as a servant
in the house was a young woman named
Amelia McLaughlin, aged about 26 years. She
has been visited by William Stratton, aged
years, a gas-fitter, residing at No: 613 Federal
street. He seems to have been a worthless
sort. of a fellow, and treated' Amelia very
badly.
....Some_time ago Mrs.." Holloway lost one of
her children by death, anif ifiiiiiigtlib li - Urea - *& -
ment 'the girl Amelia rendered many kind
and valuable services, Which were• - fully • ap
preciated by Mrs. Hollciway, and as a part re
ward therei'ortik she presented hpr with 'stuff
for a whole new suit.-- On going to a dress-
Maker to haVe - .the material , made-up; -Mrs.
Holloway also provided - her with money to
pay for the triminings. She returned after
a short. absence, with a bruised face and
blackened eyes. Astonished at the sight,
Mrs. Holloway questioned her- , closely,
and after much persuasion, Amelia stated
that she ' had met Stratton, and that
he had beaten her and forced her to hand over
to him what little money she had- Having aa
ratted this much, she then went on and told
that he forced her to give him all her earnings,
and so accounted fur her apparent poverty.
On hearing this Mr. Holloway grew angry,
and on the occasion of Stratton's next visit to
the house he ordered him out. and forbade his
ever after entering the premises. Stratton, in
reply, drew forth a dirk knife, and threatened
to kill Mr. Holloway, but finally slunk away
without cgrrying his threats into execution.
Since then put little was seen of him: Several
times since, however, Amelia, after being out,
has returned with blackened eyes and her
countenance otherwise disfigured. •
Last - evening Mrs. Holloway went to church,
and shortly afterwards Mr. Holloway left the
house. He returned about half-past nine
o'clock, and was admitted by Amelia, who ap
peared somewhat excited and flurried, and
who said to him that Stratton was up stairs in
the sitting-room, and begged of him, for God's
sake, to allow her lover to depart in peace,
and have nothing to say to him.- To this- re-
quest Mr. Holloway replied, "All right," and
walked into the parlor. He had not time to
neat . - ere, -be At
_ear&:_pistol-shots
fired in rapid succession. He immediately"
went to the door and cried "police !" Lieut
Smith,of the Seventeenth District, responded,
and upon entering the second. - story front
room be discovered Stratton gasping_for
breat y rig on e loor by the fi vet - f
lo u nge, and a seven-shooter - near his right
hand. Amelia, who had evidently fallen from
the lounge, upon the end of which she had
been sitting, was in a half -reclining position
in the corner of the room. The bosom - of her
outside dress was on fire. Lieutenant Smith
immediately drew her out from the corner and
extinguished the fire. She was dead: Dr.'
Edward Guth was sent for, but when
- 11 - 6 ----- arrived - the - man -was— _dead.
An examination of the bodies showed
that the girl, Amelia, had received
three balls, two of which penetrated the heart
and the other the right lung. Another ball had
entered the right temple of the murderer and
suicide. The supposition is that the revolver
was intended to be used in case of any inter
ference on the art of Mr. Holloway.

meat in the neighborhood. A large crowd
gathered about the premises and the terrible
tragedy was discussed in various ways.
The Coroner's Inquest
Coroner Taylor held an inquest in the emu
this morning. The following evidence was
e 1:4 .
Howard A. Holloway testified—l reside No.
1308 South Ninth street ; I was acquainted
with William Stratton, the deceased, because
he visited Amelia McLaughlin, who has lived
with us about two years ; lie had visited her
about a year, and conducted himself in a de
corous manner ; some time ago he got to
coming to the house drunk, and maltreated
Amelia in such a manner that she presented a
bad appearance about the house; I told her that
she would have to hunt another place; she then
promised that she would not have anything
more to do with hint ; he did not come again`
until last night ; 1 left home last evening about
half-past seven o'clock, the same time that my
wife did ; 1 returned shortly after nine o'clock ;
as I entered the door I met Amelia; she said
0 William is here ; hurt him, but let him
go in peace ;",•1 went into the parlor, intend
ing to let biz igo out, and to tell the girl that
she would-have to leave, to-day ; I hardly got
seat ettwhen I heard pistol shots ; I rain to the
door anti cried police I went over to the
corner to get an officer; there two boys started
after one ; when I got back Lieutenant Smith
came, and he went upstairs; I never saw any
body else visit her; never saw the pistol be
fore last night; never heard him threaten to
kill her, but know that he has so threatened ;
the woman was dead when I got in, and the
young man was about breathing his last ; don't
know that.he was married to her; never knew
the parties until the woman came to live with
Inc.
Lieut. ,lames Smith testitied-About half
past eight o'clock last night 1 was on Passyunk
road, below Reed street; two boys told me
that pistol shots were tired on Ninth street,
below Wharton ; sent the boys to the station
house for officers and I went over to the
3)ouse ; I asked Mr. Holloway what was the
matter, and he said that shots had been fired
up stairs; 1 went up stairs; found the woman
lying on the floor, at the end of the sofa, with
Ler head about six inches above the wash
board; hdr clothes were on tire: pulled her
edt and extinguished the tire ; then went to
the man ; he was :still---breathing ; tried to
get something out of him, but couldn't ; he '
died in a few minutes ; found the pistol lying
by his right hand ; have never been called to
the Louse officially before.
Mrs. Emma Dolan testitied—Reside No
1310 South Ninth street ; knew Stratton and
Amelia; last saw them together ou Monday ;
she was sitting ou the step ; he came along ;
she spol«; to him, and he stood awhile ;
never' saw them quarrel, but 1 . have heard of
it ; about, a week ago Amelia said to the :
" Will said he will kill me and then kill him
self, but I don't believe any such threats." 11
don't know whether he wits married to her ;
she said that he was not.
Dr. E. B. Shaploigh testified—Made a„,post
morton examination of the bodies; the
woman had her clothing burned. showing
that the pistol had been placed near her heart;
there were three pistol-shot wounds in the
breast ; two on the left and one on the right
side ; the two on the left side passed through
the heart ; on the other side the ball passed
e'n the second and third ribs and passed
:through the right long ; death Wll.B caused by
the pistol-shot wounds in the heart;
the man was shot in the temple near the eye,
the ball passing entirely through the brain.
' It would have been impossible for her to have
shot hiM and then shot herself; from the
charactefof the wounds I believe that he shot
her while Atting on the Kota. tibe jumped - up
and then l ie fired again, anit !ni_Lisett, as there
is a mark on the wall ; then she Cot in the
porner and he shot at her twiee ; these, with
ball in his,bend,. accounts for the live empty
( bombers. of the 'revolver. ,
This concluded the testimoy.... . .
The verdict of the jury was that 'A'ineliti - McL'
Laughlin came to death from gunshot wounds
i. the bands . of William Stratton, and.. that
Wm. Stratton committed suicide.
Locait, Cnownan.—U - nless our cereal ba
rometer parts with' its proverbial veracity. we
are on the verge of a decided drought. To the
strawberry brop this will:be good news. It
will be acceptable news also to springing corn
and early potatoes. Strawberries were 'huck
stered about the streets this morning at the
low rate of ten cents far an attenuated quart.
For elaborately cultivated fruit not more than
thirty cents a box was asked by any one. Of
this fruit the " canners" are now securing their
supply. They purchase the best often ngs of
the markets. That so few extremely fine ber
ries reach us is because of the forestalling of
the crop, when produced in large quantity,
by persons who have lifted the strawberry to
the dignity of an article of commerce. In ex
change for the guavas of Cuba, we send the
straw - berries of Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey, just as we send the apple, the onion and
the . quince. The city of Havana is as'good a
customer to us for our strawberries as it is to
Wethersfield for its onions and to Philadel
phia for its Wolfer's.
—House rents are certainly going down. A
row of new buildings in Greenwich street,
standing unoccupied in view of a fanciful
rental, are yet vacant. They will possibly re
main so. When we consider that the owners
are willing to abate twenty per cent. of their
original demand, it looks as if people were
weary of working solely for the owners of the -
roofs under which they take shelter. The
trouble is that some people like to wear
clothes. - Others like to educate their. children.
We occasionally encounter somebody who as
pires to give his family a holiday; As ,Mr.
Smith's entire earnings are absorbed in the
expenses of his table and the payment of his
rent, Master Smith' ".disports himself bare
'footed, svbile .his little sister goes to Sunday
school in a bonnet just three years olif—Very
many families are giving up their houses. An
hegira is being Made toward the country; That
war prices for anything whatever can bemuch
longer Maintained may be set down as doubt
ful. - lin home rents they can't. The man who
'expends his entire income in - the costof main—
taining his home has no money to spend in
anything . else.
—Politicians never worked more arduously
than they are working at the present moment.
The impression that a Republican nomination
is equivalent to an election, was never more
prevalent. For this reason the various candi
dates are working with unexampled diligence.
The impression imbibed by our reporter is
that:the Democracy is laid away. It is like'a
lady's muff, in a box, without the preserva
live presence of camphor. The Democracy is
not merely diiinirited—it is sick. With the
exception of a few Councilmen and members
of the Legislature, from the regions of politi
cal Egypt, it very wisely nourishes! no ex
pectations of success at the forthcoming elec
tions. In the Second, Fourth and Seven
teenth Wards, Democratic candidates shake
rands with the candille. They do se nowhere
else.
—The proceedings of the Pennsylvania
State Medical Society will be read with in
- I crest. How the woman-doctor question will
be treated remains to be seen. The result of
the last discussion was contra to the interests
of the ladies. The reports of -the. delegates.
epresenting the various counties of the State
iirb always interesting. If a hitherto name-
I. ss disease appear within a limited locality
the entire faculty are thus informed of its
lixgnosisas - made up by resident praetitioners.
this was the case with the " spotted fever,"
he diphtheria, and with the " relapsing" ma
:ravaged Alaska and
Baker streets. These annual Conferendes of
medical men 'from each county in,„the State
arc never unproductive of good results. They'
bring together congenial spirits. The etiquette
of the profession is rigid in its lines of demark
anon. it islikely always to remain so. F_ or
his reason every gentleman within - the
charmed circle feels as does the poorest prieSt
in modern Rome when he passes the portals
of St. Peter's—that the Church is the owner
of the structure, arid that he is apart of - the
'hurcli. The three days session of the State
..M.e.dicalSocietypromises to prove exceedingly
pleasant. Its closing ovation will be a treat
it which every Philadelphia physician will
- probably - do - well ro-be :present, ---- - -
—Country people who take boarders for the
-iiinmer forget one thing, They forget that
he late " cruel war is over:" - They forger
hat sugar is now sold for thirteen cents a
poundinstead of thirty, and that Young Hy
son once bringing two dollars a pound thinks
itself lucky if it brings $1 12i. They are.obli
vious to the fact that hams have grown mo
dest in their exactions, awd — that — trarrels - of - 1
dour have ceased to take on airs. While for
getting
this they also forget that potatoes and
-iiinach ask no more of rain or sunshine than
they did before one-half of the laboring com
munity enlisted for service in the war tor'the
Union. For this reason the people who take
slimmer boarders as a moans of making
_trio-
1.e.) , should see the proprie y o a a ing row
Ihe prices exacted by them during the war.
The number of people who are disposed to
pay hotel prices at a farm house, whose dinner
table is spread merely with scrag of mutton,
potatoes, and unsugared currant pie, are less
numerous than they were. A special edict
with a verMilion tail!
—From the Germantown Telegraph we learn
hat the widow of the late Secretary Stanton
has rented the Churchman mansion, at the
tinier of Wister and Chew streets. The
health of the lady is impaired. That a period
t.f repose in the air of this beautiful suburb
ay restore her wonted and wanted vigor, we
arnestly hope.
—The census-takers are at work. The colored
gentlemen employed in that capacity will do
well to retain their self-possession when offi
cially visitinwthe residences of people hap
pening to be within their beats, who happen
also to be of the opposite race. With every
lisposition to elevate the colored man, they
pel that assurance which fortifies anyone,
.lack or white, in making impertinent and
..tmecessary interrogations. The colored cen
us-takers should really be the friends of their
race. If they are so, they now have au oppot
unity to show it.
M vsTmtious,—This morning about half-past
, one o'clock, Mary Conner was found on the
-idewalk at Columbia avenue and Marshall
street. There was a wound in her forehead,
which was bleeding profusely.. The wound
had evidently been caused by* some Sharp in
,trument. The woman was taken to the
Twelfth District Police Station, and her
wound was dressed by a physician. She said
that she had been struck by somebody, but,
owing to her being'in a state of. intoxication,
she could not tell anything more.
BURGLAR CAPTURRU.—The liquor store of
.lohn Roney, at Beach and Laurel, streets, was
mitered about three o'clock this Morning, and
'l6 were stolen from the money drawer. A
wan who was leaving the premises with it
iinimy in his hand was captured by Policeman
Britner, of the Tenth District. He gave his
mime as Edward Lee, and was locked up for
a hearing at the Central Station. His coin
minion, who is supposed to have got the
money, escaped.

THE BOODLE GAME OUTDONE--OLAD NEWA
PAPER Ad GOOD AS BANK-NOTE_PAPER. — T v,
the columns of the BULLETIN has already been
reddrded the'circurnstances attending, tee ar
rest'of Mr. Ream. The charge against Mr.
Ream is that be invested his money in certain
reams of paper, and that he sold it,"when eut °
into oblongs, as if it were printed under the
authority of the Treasury Department
Washington, in characters giving the value of
from one to twenty dollars to each and every
slip.
The game is called the " Boodle" game.
That it is a " bully" game can only be dented
by some one who holds truth at the paltriest
possible estimate. In other words, so long as
the Boodle-game man is not arrested, he holds
the entire court cards in the game at which, to
the authorities, be respectfully says whist.
Mr: Ream is tall, emaciated almost to flesh
lessnt as, swarthy in complexion, evidently
expecting to baffle the inquiries of the vigi
lant District Attorney by the astuteness of the
counsel he had employed. Stalibarrested with
him, is not known to the authorities. Ream
is a barber by profession. Stahl is the keeper
of a lager house. The charge against
them is that they operated nefariously to
gether., Among certain parties who live well,
dress ell, and do nothing in the shape of vis
ible work, the case has created some little in
terest. Of the connection of the case with
that of the Shernian case at least a hint will
be found in the testimony as follows :
Jacob Zoll, sworn, deposed-.that he lives at
3235 Germantown road, in the suburb known
as Rising. Sun. He re - cognized Jacob Stahl
(an alleged confederate with Reani). Zoll
keeps a stall in market. A policeman stopped
at his stall and told him that a man in the
neighborhood had some splendid counterfeit
money that he wanted to sell. The witness
went to Stahl 's balsa, by appointment, to see
the money. He was there introduced to.
Ream. They drank together. Ream, said the
witness, produced two one-dollar notes as
, specimens of the article he proposed to
supply. He was desirous to sell me some of
them.. The witness said to him that he didn't
want to buy—be had better, use fiSr his money.
Ream wanted him to take .three.hundred at
$4O per hundred. Witness said he gave Ream
the cold shoulder, left the room, and went
into the yard. Ream followed hint to the
door and importuned him to- buy. ',He
- said that the notes were not his; that if he-had
the money at hand he Would buy them himself.
He said further that if the witness would buy
them,he (Ream) would in a short time redeem
them. The witness said Ream invited him to
go up Market street, at the Win. Pann Hotel,
and promised then to exhibit to him -other
specimens . of counterfeit notes. The witness
didn't go. What he did do was go home. He
reached the sanctuary. at 10. P. _ He found
Ream there waiting for him. Reain had been
sittting there for about an hour. Reappeared
nervous and anxious. He said that his part
ner was waiting outside, and that he had the
counterfeit money ready for delivery. Wit,
ness always had money about him. Witness
went out with him : his confederate was on
the opposite side of the street. " Get your
money ready," said Ream, as he signalled to
his alleged confederate • " as he passes" by the
door hand your $4O, and he'll put $lOO in
your hand.
Zoll received in return for his forty dollars
a package in envelope. As a fraud it beats
even the boodle game. Its top is made up of
a dozen blank checks on the Penn Township
Bank ; its bottom was a corresponding
stratum. - The intermediate - ones were made
up of oblongs cut from newspapers. -
Cotinsel cross-examined = the witness.
The person who informed. him about the
counterfeit money, he said, was Constable in
the office of - Alderman Cahill. The Constable
said that there was a great deal of counterfeit
money ailoat,.and that he wanted to bring the
offenders to Justice. John -Gardner,- -- another
Constable, approached witness in' the same
manner. They both promised to arrest the
party from whom I might buy it.
The bundle had a good note on the top of it.
Witness took it next day to a broker's office
in Third street,'an was o i d a -was good .
Witness - received the " Boodle" bundle before
paying the $4O. .He expected to be per
mitted to examine it before delivering the
equivalent in genuine funds. The latter was
snatched from him, and he was rolled into the
gutter.
The counsel for the defence asked the wit
ness if he hadn't been leagued with a New
York prostitute in passing counterfeit money.
(Tim - nam e - Orthe - samevvoinan - was-brought
up in the hearing of Colonel Wightman.—
Rm..) The witness denied all knowledge of
her. He bad never even seen New York.
Never bought cattle with counterfeit money.
Never was in_prison except forday or two,
in Norristown, and that was about the case of
a horse.

house subsequent to his arrest; he also

said, "you're the last man I ever expected to

far as to say, "I was in it, I mean ; I'm not in

Zoll's house to sell the "Boodle," he said, "that
won't do you any good, he is in a 'snap' al

Sherrnanovho was taken in Ciistody of the

tenant, when the case was reported to him;

the result was the discovery of a lot of coun
terfeit money ; it was produced to the Com
missioner ; the denominations are S2O Bank of
Commerce,New York, SO Treasury notes, $2
National Bank of Kinderhook, and fifty and
twenty-five cent Inc similes of postal currency.
All this money the sergeant found secreted
between the springs and bottom of a lounge
' in the residence of Ream. He found in difter
ent parts of the house a lot of letters. The
search was made On June 3d. Readi's wife
was there. The sum of $283.25 in good money
was in the same place with the counterfeit ,
money. Mrs. Ream witnessed the search.
The good money, she said, belonged to heis
son. For the presence of the bad money she
expressed herself utterly unable to account.
Ream never said that he had recently pur
chased the sofa. His wife complained that he
had lately ",carried on very badly," and that
instead of going to bed at nights he would
sleep upon the sofa. The sofa was among the
last things in the house to be subjected to the
search.
Another officer said that Ream, in his cell,.
had spoken of the New York woman, and of
the mixing up of the case with that of Sher
man.
Ream was held in $2,500, and Stahl in $2,000,
to appear for trial. •

o'clock a policeman shot a mad dog at Fourth.
