I . EXTKAOaDIN&BT MiaTiKEN IDilNTITT. Oriaf Wtut«d Over the CorpM of a Mother'* Uuublr. When James Waters, who lives at No. 2,033 Urkney streut, returned from )itE work last nixht, ho saw a stoat, middle- â- ((•d woman sitting on tbo stoop whose Iao« bore a dradly pallor. The woman told Mr. Waters that she was ill, and he aaktrd her to rest htrself inside. She mooeptud his invitation, and was escorted to a couib, upon which falia reolinod. Baddenly she juiuptd up, and uayinj^ that she must have fresh air, opened a door and went into the yard. Bhu gave several gasps and dropped dead. The body was taken into Mr. Waters' house and the neixlibors were called in for tbo piirpode of having; the dead woman identified. Uae littlu ^irl |{l*"<^Bd at the fenturea and exclaimed: " Tliat's Mrs. Dierolf." hho brought her mother, who alio said thf budy was that ot Mrs. Uosanna Dierolf, of No y2H SoaierBCt .street. The report that Mrs Dierolf had dropped dead spread frnm one end of little Orkney street to the otbi-r. It reached tbo cars of two of that woman's dau^bters, who bast- 0ncd to the bouse. They were conducted to the rooni where the remains wrre. Amid â- oba and violent outbursts of tiriet the yount{ women said tbe body was that of their mother. One of the twirls threw her- aelf over tbo >ody and was with diffioulty taken awa; . Coronor'd Messon^er Matthews, who lives in the vici'.ily, was notilied to remove the body lo Ne. '.128 Bomerset street. The heartbroken daughters slowly fol- lowed the wa^')<on to their home. MeatoDf^er Matthews jumped off his wa^ f{Ou and ran|4 tbe doorbell. A woman answered tbu summonH who bore a striking reeerablanie to the corpse. Matthews thoii"ht it was her Nister. lie s«id : ,* The body of Mrs. Koaanna Dierolf is in that ws^i^on. Hhe died suddenly down tbe street. Wbere do yon want it to be â€" " " What '." shrieked the woman. " I am Mrs. HuFanna Dierolf. You don't mean me. Hrirely '/" The mcBuenKer thoo(;ht there must bo a mistak" somewhere. lie saw the two fjirls half » lilock away, and be hurried towards them mill abked if they were sure the body was that i>f their mother. The two subbed hysterically and nodded their heads nllirmatively. When they came up to the liouxH the front door was closed. One of tbein opened it with a key and oalled to iiiinibers of the household, whom she u funned of the death of Mrs. Dierolf. ' I lu 1 look like a dead woman ?" oame from the dining. room, in toi.es that betokened niigor. The voice was familiar. It was that of the girls' nuitber. Tbither they went, and when they beheld their mother whom they had rocogui/i .1 as dead they ^riod for joy and asked fnrgivenoes. MeHHHij;;,'r Matthews was a silent witness. " In all in^ ei|ierienoe handling; tlio dead," he said, " I never saw anything the like of this." Turning to Mrs. Dierolf he said: " Madam, yuur children aren't to be blamed for tliitikii i; the dead woman was you. Hhe H yimr iloiiblc, she is."

A Iieport«r Murder* bis Wife and then Saiuldun A Friend's Htrauge Coudurt. A Chicago despatch says ; W. T. Bradley yesterday shot his wife dead and then com- mitted suicide at tbe Uotel Cortland. Doth were employed by tbe Chicago Globe, the husband aa a reporter and tbe wife aa literary editor. This is the third tragedy of tbe kind that has taken place here within a week. After the bodies were taken to an undertakers, Frederick Mann, a linen im- porter, entered the hotel, and being told of the shooting was overcome with grief and raved around exclaiming, " It was a life thrown away I" and " (^h I tbe brute." lie then started on a ran for the undertaker'a, where be threw himself upon the woman's body, kissing litr hands and lace, unmind- ful of the blood which stained her clothing and face. It was some minntea before be could be dragged away from the body. Lie then glared for a moment at Hradley's body, and, with an oath, said, "Oh, the thief, villain, brute, let me get at him !" Mann then made a rush at Bradley's body, and would doubtless have thrown it upon the tloor had not the officers dragged him from tbe room. Mann stated that he bad known Mrs. Bradley since childhood, and knew all about her troubles. Ue was very fond of her, and had repeatedly warned her against Bradley. He said Mrs. Bradley bad decided to pan from her husband and that was the direct cause of the shooting. While Bradley was in prison Mann escorted Mrs. Bradley to and from her eight asaign- ment. This made Bradley insanely jealous, and with Bradley's dissipated habits led to frei]uenti|aarrel8and culminated in yester- day's tragedy. Mis. Bradley waa formerly connecte<t with the atage.

A apccial cablegram from London says : England is to have ita own theological ex- citement next week, retlectiona of which will extend all over the English-speaking globe. Dr. King, the Bishop of Lincoln, is to appear at the ancient eccleniastical yalace ot Lambeth, whose brown turrets face the Thamoa over against the Hooaea of I'arlia ment, next Tuesday, to be tried by the Primate for ritualistic practices. It is an. derstood that the Bishop will come in his I opo and mitre, attended by the whole body of hia canons, and will take the a pnuri objection that lie has the right to bo tried by a synod of bishops. If this plea is sus- tained there will be an adjournment until an episcopal convocation uan be summoned. The charges against Ur. King are six in number the uae of candles on the com. munion table, the mixing of water with the communion wine, having the " Agnus Dei" sung after the prayer of consecration, hold, ing hia hands in the shape of the cross while pronouncing the benediction, fac;.ig towards the east while breaking bread, and performing the rite of ablution, which means himself drinking out o( the chalice. The action of the Cbunb Anaocialion in insisting on the trial has created very bitter feeling among tbe more liberal clerg r-, ami even the Tory papers denounce it as a regrettable relic of medueval bigotry.
