The oLtrusiotis of the father upon the
divorced wife aud mother, it is said, in
duced the son to shoot Lim. 'i he New
Yotk Tribune writes on tho terrible
tragedy as follow :
At about .45 l ,M , en Monday, young
Walworth, who is of rather flight pby-
siqtie, stepped bn.-kly luto the ofUco of j it on account of family troubles." On
tho Sturtevant House, at Broadway and recovering fiom his surprise, tbe.Ser

light texture thrown across his arm in a
. i : -f r -1 i i . . i
careless manner' His appearance was
simply that of an ordinary travibr of
the better clans, and bis actions attracted
no especial attention. Advancing to the
counter he procured a pen, and, after
regime ling himself in a somewhat bold
hanJvtiiiierr as " Frank II. Walworth,
I Saratoga," lie a-kt d the cleik in attelid
I anee for a room. He was assigned room
! No 267, on the rear pai t . of the third
I tloor, and, cxpres.-iug a dei-iie to retire
lor a Tew moments, bo was shown to the
apartment by an attendant at once. . Af
ter an absence of fifteen or twenty min
utes here-appeared, and passed leisurely
through the ciiTice to the street. Walking
to Fourth avenue, he rode in a car to
Fifty-fourth Etreet, where he alighted.
Proceeding immediately to the boarding
house ou Fourth avenue, two doors north
of Fifty-fourth street, he ring the bell
j and inquired of a servant if bis father,
who reeidrd in the house, was at home.
Being told that his father was absent, he
departed quietly, after leaving a sealed
note requesting his father to call at the
hotel "to try and settle some family mat
ters" with him. Returning to the hotel,
he sauntered through The office, and, soon
after supper, retired lo his room, where
he remained unnoticed during the night.
At about 6:10 A. M. yesterday, the fa
ther, who was considerably above medi
um height, of rather portly figure, and
remarkably fine muscular development,
entered the office of the hotel, and asked
the nijrht clerk, who Lad not yet been
i ,
relieved, tft'send his 'card up to his eon's
room.' 'A bell loy took the card to the
room, and, returning immediately, said
that he bad been requested to "ehow the
gentleman up." Following the boy,
who agaiii ascended the stairs, the visitor
was admitted promptly to the room, the
door of which was opened in response to
a few light taps. Tho father stepped
unhesitatingly into the room, and the
door closing instantly, the bell-boy re
turned to the office. ' About ten minutes
later, the steward and the night watch
man1 of the hotel, who were in an upper
hallway, heard the noise cf four pistol
shots, in quick enccession, proceeding
from young Walworth's room. They
ran to the room in great haBte, reaching
it almost ' simultaneously - with Josiab
Moorehead, a guest, who occupied an ad
jacent room, and who had also been
alarmed by the shots. Ou reaching the
room they found the door ajar, and push
ing it open, they rere startled by the
discovery of the lifeless body of the de
ceased, lying in a pool of blood, about
three feet from the threshold. At first
the men seemed transfixed, but, after a
brief moment of inaction; they looked
about for the assassin, ' who had, how
ever, disappeared.,;: The watchreea and
several guests who had meanwhile as
sembled remained with the body- of the
murdered man, While the steward ran to
the office to alarm the clerks, but, upon
reaching the office, he found that tbey
had already bee told of the tragedy by
yooag Walsworth himself, who was just
passing to the street whan the . steward
arrived.., . , .. ' '

to the tcli'grnph office, opposite the clerk's

his uncle is Chicago : "I have just shot

probably fatal nature, were found upon
the body. One of the wounds was in
the left and another in the right breast.
Another was near the right temple, just
under the cheek bone, while the fourth
was in the left ar:r. The wound of the
left breast is helieved ' to have entered
the heart, and that near the right temple
is supposed to extend to the brain. A fter
the examination the body was removed
to an undertaker's in Carmine street,
where the autopsy was performed by Dr.
Marsh.,
Deceased was a strong', muscular,
healthy man, about foity-tbree years old.
The bullet, entering the light side, was
found lodged in the ribs under the shoul
der, the bullet entering the left arm was
found flattened on the bones of the arm,
which were completely shattered ; the
bullet which entered near the right eye
could not be found without taking the
head to pieces, and, as it did. not touch
the brain, was not long searched for. -After
some hours the bullet which enter
ed the left lung "aud caused death was
found embedded iu the forty-second col
umn of the vertebra:. .. ,
. .The inquest will be held on Friday
morning. A largo q'uantity of clotted
blood was found on, the body, and a
triangular mark over the right eye, caus
ed by a fall.
While at the hotel Coroner Tonng ex
amined informally several witnesses who
will be called upon to testify at . the in
quect. Charles M. Doolit ale steward of
tbe hotel, said that he was on an upper
floor calling tbe chambermaids, at 6.25
o'clock, when he heard the shots. He
knew the precise minute . because the
chambermaids had asked him to .tell
them the time, and he had looked at his
watch Upon hearing the shots he ran
to the room as ahead y described. John

the steward, corroborated the tatement
of the latter. . ', ,V. '.

in quick succession, and accompanied by
cries of "Murder." The noise seemed
to come from the hallway, or a room near
my own. I dressed myself partly and
ran ont into the hallway. I found the

After General IIaruins death, bis wife
was married to Chtncellor Walworth,
being his second wife, so that the deceas
ed had married tho daughter of his step
mother. The old Walworth place, at
Saratoga, was left to ihu Chancellor s
presented toe institution witn a rare col
lection of shells and fossils (things which
he did not own). These effusions in
print had a certain appearance of decen
cv but were either slanderous oro Lerwise
intensely annoying. Ho Lad also made
tLreats of violence.
As to the lad. Lis uncle, the Roman
Catholic clergyman, being about to sail
for Europe, Lad offered to take him with
Lim, aud tLc boy Lad agreed to go, pro
vided lie coold settle np satisfactorily a
matter in New York. lie accordingly
came to this city and went to his father's
residence, but not fiuding him in left a
note, asking to sec him at the Sturtevant
House. His father received the note and
weut to the hotel at abont 6:30 A. M. yes
terday, before, indeed, . the night watch
had been relieved. Word was eeut to
tbe sou that his father had arrived, and
the eon asked to have him sent to his
room. The son's purpose was to get his
father to premise not to molest his mother
during bis absence. While they wefe
talking together the son saw bis father
make a movement toward his pocket,
which led Lim to suppose that bis father
was drawing a pistol, and. this seemed
tbe more like, since his father bad so
often made threats of violence. He ac
cordingly drew a revolver, which he Lad
loaded for safety in case of an emergen
cy, and fired. His fatLer continuing to
advance Le shot a second time ; and as
he still advanced and put Lis Land on
the boy's shoulder, he fired the third
time. This, the' judge said, was the
boy's story, from which it would appear
that he acted in self defence. He would
seem to Lave thought,' too, that he shot
only three times, though the reports re
presented that there were four.
Morris Phillips, of the Home Journal,
who was a friend of the deceased, and to
whom "Warwick'' was dedicated, made
statements essentially as follows : The
deceased was born about the year 1S30,
probably at Albany, and was a sou of
ex-Chancellor Walworth. He was edu
cated for the legal profession, and after
being admitted to the bar, practised in
his father's office. ' He soon, however,
began to turn bis attention to literature,
and did his first writing for the Home
Journal. Iheu followed the publication
of hia different novels : " Lulu," ' Hot
spur," "Stormcliff,;' " Warwick.". "Dela
pline"j.and ''Reverly.". -t "Warwick"
was probably, his most successful work,
and it; was from tha - publication of this
that his popularity as a writer dated..

A Paris correspondent writing on May

I propose sending you. it deserves a
higher titlo than that of a mere sensa

of mankind ; raUe the poor to a condi
tion in life where the sweat of their brow
will bring them at least the proper and
full reward of toil ; prevent the bicker

our political economy into the channels

of the social barriers which Lave nothing

This is saying a great deal, but the cve::t
will carrv out my assertions. 1 he first'
requisite of mankind is food, and if that
cau bo provi led at all times iu sufficient
quantity aud quality to sustain life with
out extraordinary labor exposure and to
perils, it must be conceded that all I have
claimed is "true. If, moreover, tho food I
have spoken of is of the bet quality,
and exactly ad apted to the different ages
and varied pliytk-.il institutions cf the
race, then the greatest triumph of the
age has been achieved. And all of this
Professor Gucrctte claims to be true of

learned scientist twenty years ago, that
Le might experiment with animal and
vegetable food so far as to discover the
primordial elements needed to sustain
and foster life. He argued that as man
is sustained by the flesh of animals and
by vegetables, it might be possible to
resolve these articles of diet into their
elements, discover the sources from which
they drew their life, and by judicious
combination ' of their most nutritions
qualities and the throwing- out of that
which was useless and harmful, produce
an artificial species of food which' woufd
supply every need of tho race. He
sought what Huxley would call the pro
toplasm of life, and it is claimed and ad
mittcd by a number of his learued coun
trymen that he has found it It has
been, as I said, the work of twenty yeais
to perfect the discovery, lut two thou
sand years would not have been wasted
had they been successfully applied to
the same purpose. With an increasing
supply of food for tho race always at
hand with slight expense of labor, the
miseries of the poor, and the necess ities
of crime are largely decreased. The
slaughter of animals and the animal
destruction of the vegetable world is
done
away.
science gives us manna
with a large Laud, and the one great
need of the world is' supplied from an
unfailing source
The gentleman to whom this discovery , waa occupied by a lady and the other by
is due, is well-known in the City ofja Chinaman. Evidently the lady dii!
Lyons, where he holds the chr.tr of j not relish the presence of the Chinaman,
Chemics in the University. He was
born at Auvergne in 180S, graduated in
medicine at the universities of Paris and
Naples, was appointed a lecturer at the
former institution in 134 1, and was pro
moted to the professorship of chemistry
in the University of Lyons in IS45.
Since that time be has made the lat!r
city bis abode, visitiDg Paris only at rare
intervals. He was pointed out to me
one day last week on the Rue des" Ital
ieus, and I was told to take special no
tice of Lim, which was the easier done
as he walked with eyes beet down and
evidently engaged in deep thought
This, I am told, is his custom but at
home he is seldom seen on the streets, as
he confines himself closely to Lis labora
tory, when not occupied with his pnblic
duties. He is small, gray - haired, with
broad forehead and deep set eyes (their
color I conld not see), and a stubby
moustache, half concealing a firm mouth.
Like most scholars, he is somewhat stoop
shouldered, and walks with a shuffling
gait ' As a chemist, no man in France
ranks higher, though he is ' little known
ontside of Lis own scholastic circle, for
the reason that he has never published
anything. His life has been devoted to
the discovery he is now perfecting, aud
that promises to bring him such laurels
as no other man of his age has achieved.
There has been no public exhibition
yet made of the food which Prof Guer
ette has prepared, and I can speak of it
only from the description given by scien
tific men, who are enthusiastic in praise
of it. They have been made acquainted

and express only wonder that the same
idea of tracing the food principle to its
source had not cecum d to themselves.'
In any other city thau Tariis there might'
he some hesitation abont making experi
ments with this new diet but men who
have. learned to sit down to a dinner of
horse steak will have' no hesitation in
trying any other viands that couic well
rccommeuded. The food is made of
earth even, it is said of refuse matter.
It contains in exact proportions the four
elemeuts necesaaiy for nutrition. Pre
pared with skill and care, it not only has
rejected all that does not assist life, - but
it is said to be spiced and performr-d in'
such a manner as to realize our dreams
if the ambrosia of the gods. Smell and
taste are gratified at the same time that
digestion is rendered a pleasure:' So
stabs scent of cookery lingers abont ;t' ;
it has banished at once .all the discern

eaten it (and my informants are medical
men of Ligh repute) say that its effect
on the system is magical, and ' its tastfl
beyond description ui words. In their
enthusiasm they go etill further, and say
that M. Guerette's discovery will do
more to banish alcoholism and other per
verted tastes, and restore the system to'
its normal condition of healthy appetites
and sound digestion, than all the discov
eries of all the medical men who have
ever lived.
With others, I laughed heartily at tho
idea when it was r3t broached, but a
second and more sober thought has made
me lend a readier ear to what' has been
told me. I remembered the habits of
tho clay-eaters of North Caroliua, and
the tribes along the Amozon River, who
eat a soft, highly t-cented c! iv that is
found upon its banks, and are seemingly
as well grown aud m strong a those
wLa live on flesh aud fruit. If this
could be done by barbarians, I' reasoned,
why ehould not civilized m m be able to
derivo their food from the same source t

A laughable incident occurred one
evening, recently, ou the tiip t Sacra

She succeeded about as 'follows :
Motioning tlio ('LTnaiuan to rLe, sLa
explained to Lim that she wanted tUk

John said "All rightee." and got in ihe
aisle while the placed the seats us ahovo
descrihed, an 1 then proceeded to lip
down on the bed thus improvised, wiih
her head resting on her valise.
SLe supposed that the Chinamafi
would at once take the hint tiiat the lady
wanted to tako a 1 ttlo rest, iu the spaca
usually occupied by four persons. But
John hadn't heard of the nonians' righti
movement, and at once proceeded to
crawl iu and stretch himself by her side,
wiih his head on a little bundle of his own.
The Chinese aie an imitative race, .aud
like to do as others do, yo:t know.
The lady, as eoon as she discovered
that she Lad a bedfello.v, got up, a littla
wildly, and started for the next car, to
the infinite amusement of the passengers,
who Lad been watching the little scene
with some interest. John took no notice
of tho fun he had created, bnt went L
sleep with the whole bed to himself.
