Tho Cologne Gazette ot June 16 contains an account of a most frightful case of doublq-mur dor committed in Mulbauson, in Alsace. A man, called Joseph Most, between 20 and 80 years of ago, had lived for about a year, but not on tho best learnt, with bis mother (a widow), two sisters of 20 and 11 years old respectively, mid a brother of 17, aud had repeatedly, and es pecially In tbo Inst weeks, denounced tho oldest sister before tbo police as tho poisoner of bis father, whilst there wore not, to all appearances, tbo slightest grounds fur suspecting her. Six weeks ago bo lett’his mothers bouse and took one lor himself. Friday evening last, towards 11 o’clock, bo suddenly appealed, armed with a uowly pm chased duggor-knife, at tho residence of his mother, got gently over the yaidgnto, put the dogs lutii their house, and then passed through the kitohou, first of all into the sleep* iug-ruom of his brother, whom ho killoa almost iu a moment by a deep plunge of the dagger into his throat. The murdoier then tried to got into his mother's room, winch was provided with a glass door, and in which wore also the sisters, all of whom had been awakened by the noise. Those, with tho exception of tho younger sister, who lied tluough the window into tho street screaming for help, bold tho glass door with all their might. Tho murderer s.ruck in tho panes of glass, and thrusting through tho open ing mtliclcd several blows upon his mother, till she succeeded iu making her escape through tho window. The older sister, who had already received several wounds, could not hold tho door any lunger, and was at once, fatally wounded by the inhuman. brother. Ho then struck a light, and asked the sister, " Are you dead?" {JJid du todt?) As she opened her eyes ho struck iu cold blood once moro the dag ger into her breast, saying, "There, 1 will give you one more that you may have enough!*’ Thereupon ho betook himself to bis own bouse, changed bis clothes, and thou wont out. But about half-past 12 that night bo was appre hended in the aticot, when he quietly allowed himself to bo conducted away. ISrl garni age ant) Assassination In fiiuly. The following are events of recent occurrence in liuly : At Pavia, on tho high road between llortara and Yercolii, six brigands, armed with guns, pihtols, ami revolvers, attacked two land owners of Custulnoveto, named Ohiarumella and and Ferretti, who were returning in a carnage from the fair of Mortars, and robbed them of their watches and about 2.000 francs in money. At Fabriano, Salvatore di Staaio was carried off by eleven brigands to tho Massico Mountain, and was lolcabedou payment of I,B<JO francs ran r-oin. In Sicily, Baron Sguduri was captured by brigands between Pabsolonduto and Canarollo. te.ia the amount of his ransom was fixed at 127,000 francs in gold. That sum was paid. In Turin, a Government ollicial of good birth and character, being unable to live on his ruv, lulled his wife, three children, and himself. The chamber where his victims were found dead iihowed traces ol tho must utter penury,—no sheets, towels, or linen of any sort wtro to bo seen, and even tho wire had but a rag to cover her nakedness. At Cosona, ono Gaetano Negro ni, a gas contractor, being obliged to dismiss some of his lamplighters, offered one of them the loss lucrative post of gate-porter. This man thought himself aggrieved ana shot bis master. At Capua a Captain of Bcrsaglioii, aged So years, was cnunioied of a joung lud> nged 10. and of surpassing beauty, llor parents rejected the addresses of the Captain, partly on account of his ago, partly because the girl bad a prior . attachment. Tho Captain met the young lady and her mother at a public promenade, and placing a re volver at tho ear of tho daughter discharged it, breaking her skull ami killing her on the spot, lie wounded tho mother uud then shut himself, but not fatally. But, tho assassination of Cava lier© Gaspare Holla, at Farina, Ims caused intense alarm. Holla was 37 years old. was f .rmorly Sub-Prefect at Sera and Alba, and was Utely a Government Commissary in Bpezzla, Piacenza, Bologna, and Ravenna. lie rendered signal soi vices to justice in thuce capacities, and became tho object of vengeance on the part of those whose malpractices ho hindered. At tho time of Ids murder ho was Councillor-Delegate of tho Prefecture in Parma, being tho chief olllnial in that province after tno Prefect. Cavalier Doha was returning homo at a little, after 11-o’clock on tho night of the Dili of Juno. His house was in the Via Gonorosi, and lie had reached the town towards tho Via Pohti, when ho received a stub in his loft side from an unknown person, who immediately disappeared. Bulla crossed the street in a ft antic manner, and after staggering for a few moments, fo.l. Two revenue officers who wore walking before him, and two other officers who followed, soon cams to his assistance and carried him to tho nearest medical establishment. Dr. Mnsolu vuluty tried to stay tho flow of blood, uud after twenty minutes of agony Bella expired. The only words he uttered after hie wound wore, •' 1 uni rliloltoed." The post mortem examination proved that tho knlfo nilh which Bella wee Klllocl was of unusual pattern am! of a mur derous shape. Bella nail uo private foes, and was beloved by tho gantry of Parma for lilb atninble and cievor'qualities. Political mo tivos aro aligned for bin tragical ami. Five porsoliii wore arrested on suspicion, bnt It la likely that tho aamo Immunity which the assas sins of Charles Bourbon, Buko of Parma, en joyed will fall to tho lob of tho murderers of Bulla. In fact, it id seldom that assassins In Italy aro visited with capital punishment, oven if convicted. OntholULh of Juno iho Oourt of Assize at Homo finished tho trial of five brigands. One of them wns accused of flvo murdoi'H and two assaults. two other of one murder and two . assaults, nmi tbo rent of ftHsaults only. The Judge sentenced, in accordance with tho verdict of the jury* two of tho brigands to death, one to foiced labor for lifo, another to forced labor for twenty years, and thoflfib to ton years' imprison* ment. The brigands will moat likely appeal and obtain another tilal, when their Bontoncea will perhaps bn modified. The Deputy Bing’s Proo tor, Soetituto-J’rocuraiore del lie, in Bologna, Cavohoro Cavagnati, has suddonlv disappeared, lie was last scon going homewards at 11 o'clock at night, in company with a legal functionary. Cavagnatl did not toll any of Uls friends that ho intended to loavo Bologna. Mo has been more than a week missing. Mis bedchamber was in orocr. and he did not sloop in ic on the night of his disappearance. Hoj and Bolla had re ceived anonymous letters warning them of peril. Tho scoot societies seem again at work, and men have to fear tho dagger If they olTcna against tho mysterious sect. On the Oth of Juno about eightv poisons of the llomogna district, who were going to Bologna, wore arrested at tho station of Mirandota. Their business at Bolog na was not agreeable to the auiiiotUics, The Italian Government has no scruple In arresting persons on suspicion and keeping them in prison for an imlohuito tnfio without trial. Near Bmi. Michele Cassano, a local proprietor or wealth , and distinction, was waylaid by threo brigands, who compelled him, on pain of forfeiting hiu life, to sign bills of exchange to tho amount of til), 000 lit o. Tho brigands brought with tbcm bills regularly stamped, pons and ink, and Cassa no had merely to write tho words, *‘l accept,” and to subscribe his name. Texan nrotliorH-lu-t,aw. Ttx, {Jttnt 22), Correspondence of th* Qat- fusion Metes, Quito a serious shooting all ray occurred in this count? last week, between .dr. Harrington.and his biother-in-law, Mr. Boggott, two woll-Unown and respected citizens, notwcou whom an old family lon.l had existed for some time. Har rington left his homo shunty after dinner, and proceeded to tho river to fish* leaving his rillo on the bank. Ho thou descended the bluff to tbo water's edge. Ho carried with him a pistol to shoot tbo largo Hah, if bo should catch auv, the bailor to enable him to land them safely. Ho had been fishing buiasbort time, when he heard a noise above him ; and looking up, beheld Bog gett over him with an oar upraised to smite him, and.who said: ''Now, Harrington, d—n you, I've got you just whore 1 want yon, and you cuu't got awav. I am between you ami your rifle, You've been talking about my father long enough, and I'm going to kill you." Harring ton immediately raised hia pistol, and fired, the ball taking effect m Baggett's breast, ranging upward, and lodging in his loft shoulder. Ho immediately fell into tho water. After iloating around for some little time, ho begged Harring ton to help him out, as bo bad already killed him. This Harrington consented to do, and. after much trouble and hard work, ho succeeded in getting him to land mid upon tho bunk. Boggott then said : "For God’s sake, run for a doctor, for I am dying." Harrington imme diately shouldered his shot-gun, and started on a run. As soon as his back was turned, Boggett reached for his rillo, uud exclaimed: " Hold on. you’ve killed mo, and 1 can’t waitJJ?for a doctor to come, and I'll . ne d—d if yon aro going to get oil' so easy." Ho deliberately aimed and shot at H., tbo tall strik ing him in the right side and passing nearly through. Harrington then exclaimed: "God cl— you, I’ve shot you once, and now I'll shout you again," aud shut a loan of shot into Bog gott's .right arm. Ho thou walked all tho way up homo and told his friends the whole ckoum stuuces. Boggott was found lying on tho ground, where ho had received tho last shot. Ho was at once conveyed to his home and medical aid summon ed. Strange to say, both aro still alive, and Har rington is in a fair way of recovery, while hopes aro entertained of Daggett’s rccovoiy. Both icll tho same identical tale, oven to the miuuto. There in not much hard feeling between tho two, moro than that of rivals in a fisticuff match. It is altogether tho coolest affair over known to our ciuzous. DIABOLICAL PLOT TO BLOW UP A BUILDING. One of tho most fiendish and deliberate plots to destroy life aud propel ty over devised in this city was exposed at 4% o’clock yesterday morn ing by Officer Waters. lie discovered that tho throe-story brick building, 111) Lako street, ono door west of Fifth avenue, was on fire on tho sec ond and third floors, and promptly gavo an alarm from Box No. 13, on tho Briggs Uouso, and while bo doing heard two explosions in tho burning building. Tbo firomen wero soon on the spot and extinguished tho flames. An in vestigation, subsequently, showed a diabolical plot to blow up the entire promises. On the roof of tho building cans and kogs of kerosene oil had been placed. The scuttle was found open, and access had been had to tho tloors below, tho roof having been reached, evi dently, fiom tho adjoining buildings. On tho second and third floors about thirty-five pounds of powder hud been placed, and hums laid to kegs and small cans full of kerosene oil, distributed about the rooms, Fortunately, only a portion of tho explosives had ignited, or else tho damage would have been groat, and tho entire building, and perhaps adjoining property, demolished. As it was, the loss is comparatively light, amounting to about $2,000 or $3,000. The second and third floors were occupied by Q. Wagonfurhr ns a cigar-manufactory. Ills stock was damaged mostly by water. Hs has policies of insurance on his properly. Ihooker «t Sanborn, dealers in leather and 4flnd ings, occupied the first floor. Their lons was small. I'omoy &, Gollou used the basement as a lager beer saloon and restaurant, and they were only damaged by water to a nominal amount. Detectives have been detailed to investigate tho case, with a view toward catching the party or parties who concerted the plot. the picnic riot. Aid. Hildreth was not the “innocent cause’ 1 of the row at Hoimrioh Park on tho Fourth, as stated in tho Times. All the officers present unite in saying that ho endeavored to assist them, and instead of leaving them during tho fray, fought the gang of thieves, and caused tho arrest of one of them, O'Brien. Hildreth had hi* watch—a $250 gold ono—stolen from him, and is positive that O'Biiou is tno party who took it. Two more of tno hoodlums, Jack Fore and Pat Hare, wore arrested by Sergeant Himon O'Dounolf ycstoiday, uud they are now in durance. Officer Boauhlon, who wan no terribly beaten during tbo fight, is improving. Owing to the fact tuat there was no physician present to at tend to his wounds, ho became very weak from tho loss of blood. Thoso who woro at tho picnic represent tho roughs as hiutal ana Insulting iu (ho extreme. Mon and thdr families « ore rudely jostled about, regardless of remonstrance or force. 'I ho rulfians instituted’all tho fights, with tho evident intention of robbing panics in the crowds. Officer Bold reports that during the progress of tbo picnic u young woman named Bridget Mc- Hugh, living on the North Bide, was shot through the cheek by some party who was cele brating with a pistol. An unknown man was also shot, l lie bull striking the right breast and lodg ing in tho loft. PROSABLE MURDER. Another case of murderous shooting, whlob will probably prove fatal to ono man, occurred in Bridgeport yesterday forenoon. At 11 o’clock, two men, named A. U. Cooley and William Foley, wore in tho saloon of John Bloan, No. 100 Hick ory street. They had some talk with Bloau, bill the subject of it Is not known, as both men assort that they had no hard woidu with him. At all events, Hloau suddenly drew a revolver and fired at both men. ono shot taking oiled m (ho right lung of Cooley, and another In the loft log oi Foley, above die fence. A ciowd immedi ately assembled at tho place. Blouu was arrest, ed, and the wounded men taken care of by Drs. Bldwcli and Higgins. Neither of tho bullotu could bo found after probing for them. Cooley is dangerously wounded, and it is thought that he cannot recover. The chances of life, with him, are certainly very slim. Lust midnight there whs no improvement of his condition. Foley's wound is very painful, hut Is not seri ous. Parties, who claim to know, stale that tho wounded men and Sloan have had trouble before, ami that the shooting of yesterday was the re sult of an old grudge.
