SHBCBSE. Ont., April 24.â€" A. terrible occurred this morning a mile and a ^Dorth of Here at the residence of DioBiss Morrison. Mrs. Morrison had jfone from lioine for a couple of days to visit ' ci sistfir, leaving her husband with five lildren, the eldest a girl of 13 years of age, ij the others ranging in age down to a bright ,irtleladof2year8. Ihe youngest slept with his eldest sister. (fMn the latter awoke this morning she was. jised to find that he was not by her side. Sjie went m search of him, and to her horror loondthe little boy stifiin death laid out upon J noilt on the kitchen floor. Beside him lay (liebodiesof his sister, aged 5, and his bro tiier aged 7. A barrel half full of water stood in one corner of the room. By the .dripping of the water on the door the tale was told of 4eir death by drowning. llorrison could not be found. On a table ij the dining-room was a cup strongly smelliu!; of carbolic acid and an ounce bottle o/tbedruR two-thirds full. The murderer fis found vTiithing m agony on the bank of a creek a quarter of a mUe from his house. Moirison is partially conscious. His re- (jyery is doubtful. Ko reason can be assigned for the awful act Hcept temporary insanity. Morrison had al np been a kini and indulgent husband and (atier. LATKR KEPOBT. Shelbukne. April 23. â€" The triple tragedy macted yesterday morning at the Morrison homestead is still the topic of conversation. Until to-day there appeared no happier family in the township of Melancthon.- Morrison. tie poor, dementedmurderer, is the possessor ofajjood farm, free from all encumbrance, snd was in f ac t very well oft. He en j oy ed the respect of all his neighbors and is well con- nected. This evening he lies in a darkened room, hanging between life and death, with the mark of Cain on his brow. In the next loom are the bodies of his three little ehildren, murdered by his own hand, At ttie back of the bed lies the eldest of the dead children, abright littlo gul named Arabella, 7 years of ige. â-  At the front is Thomas James, 5 years of age, and between the two lies William Edgar, aged 2 years. A TALK wn;H THE MOTHEB. The heart-broken mother is an intelligent woman about 35 years of age, being much younger than her husband, whose age is given M 54, Mrs. Morrison spoke in kindly terms with reference to her husband. She said he was a kind husband and an inaulgent father, and she could not imagine what led him to commit such a terrible ciime. She said he iad been ill during the past month, and that 'ery often he was despondent and would tell W that he could not recoyer. He had never "een confined to bed but appeared to be mel- aaeholy and complained about a pain in his iead. Last week he told his wife that he W3 troubled about what would become of the tluee youngest children in case anything happened to him. He evidently had the idea liat he was leaving property enough to sup- port his Tife and the two eldest children, and ««lTed the problem by murdering his favorites. THE FATHEB. Dr. Norton examine a the unhappy man's Palse, and while doing so Morrison oaid: "Victor, don't be bothering me. I am going *0D. You cannot do me any good." He spoke in a louder tone: "Oh, doctor Mare hurting me. Don't? lam going ' down, the last three weeks, and all â„¢ medicine you could pour into me would ^» me no good." Dr. Norton then asked him "wfoUowing questions: â„¢cin, do you remember what yoa did ' night?-' "Did you go to bed last night " Mrs. Hotnatm UMlSanh Eli«vher eldest ' d««**a wye «HdMMe both tastifj^ing to the kind dispe^ra of Ife.

Mr. Moi-- rison hadieooTeiadtetk strength of body and reason by Sunday to make his will, bat d«med not to remember anything whateyCT ojfthesad affair. On Monday morning the nnfortonate man died and an inqoest held the same day. An accidait happened last December by which deceased fell ont of the rig in which he was riding causmfr a severe pain in the head and which troubled him oocasionally afterwards. THE POST-UOBTEM. Dr. Bolstine was sworn and read a state- ment of the result of the post-mortem examination on the boby of the deceased, as follows We found the body as a whole in an anaemic and generally emaciated condition. An examination of the brain revealed a con- gested and abnormally thickened and unduly adherent state of the membranes in both hemispheres. The brain substance itself pre- sented an unhealthy appearance, and the pons varolu was evidently in a state of incipient softening. On examination of the thoracic viscera wo found the various organs in a mod- erately sound condition, and the same may be said to apply to the organs of the ab- dominal cayities. John Babb, M. D. HeHBT J. BOLSIIKE. M. D. To the county attorney Dr. Bolstine stated that the abnormal adhesions which existed between the brain substances,, its membrane and the surrounding bones of the head were in all probabihty due to some ccngestion of the brain and its membranes years ago. The brain was in a very unhealthy condition, and I am sure its state would accotmt for his temporary insanity. I hold his brain was largely responsible for his death, but death was accelerated by his exposure on the night of the tragedy, and more particularly as his frame has been much weakened by previous illness. John Barr, M. D., sworn, said I corrobo- rate the foregoing evidence of Dr. Bolstine I might sar as I examined deceased before death that I found evidence of his having taking carbolic acid, but in a small quantity. It alone- would not have caused death. I had treated deceased for some two or three weeks before his death. He was very melancholy. ' His debility might have been largely due to the state of bis brain. It is quite possible for one to be insane for a short time and perfectly sane to all appear- ance soon after. Further, one mKy be insane on certain sabjects and sound on others. The jury then retired and were out for a few minutes, and then brought in the follow- ing verdict: Death occurred or was occasioned from an abnormal condition of the brein, together with a generally debiUtated state of the system, also accelerated by exposure, shock, and possibly by attempts on his own life while laboring under a fit of temporary insanity.
