| Bloody Tragedy in Kentucky! I FATIIEII AM) SON SHOT. i FATA.L COMMUNICATION AND ‘ MISCONSEPTION. the Lexington & Covington train passing a couple of miles this side | J Winchester, Kentucky, on Saturday, thck’ ;| v of a m«n was discovered lying road, and still a little further on, snol’er body lying. > n a similar condition 'seen. ‘ The p arties were Col.— Jaws Price, of Clark couuty, Ky.,an oldTnd esteemed citizen, and his son, a fine! and promising young man. Both were found weltering in their blood, the fattier having received the contents of a SSh’e-barrel gun, loaded with buck shot, in th ■ abdomen and lower part of his bodv while the son bad been shot through -sttß)’)dv by a bullet from a revolver.— bM I werc breathing when found, and it ffil- hoped that the old gentleman may surfive, although no hope is entertained o f tl recovery of the son. Trie particuthis sanguinary affair, as we , have heei able to learn them, are as follows. [lady of Col. Price, under the nanl of ‘Moily Brown,’is a cautributor to t|>. Ohio Farmer', and in a recent CommuJicution to that journal, she gave a description of a family residing in her neighborhood, from the mismanagement of 31iose head, much domestic affliction andplisastriotts consequences had arisen. Unfc’ tunately, a neighbor named Gray i took die matter as intended for himslf; andla few days since, meeting Colonel Pritle, he demanded if he considered hia)|rlf responsible for what his wife j w®e. The Colonel, who was unconsci- | oifibfwhathe alluded to, repliedin a rathe jocular manner, that he was not, and ihe party seperaled upon apparent- j ]v fri. ndiy terms. On Saturday morniu - ■Col.’ Price was riding on horseback liAh. spot above designated; his son, simitrly mounted, being some distance btdiiin 1, when he was intercepted by Gray I who carried a double barreled gun which : he di charged full at the Colonel, who fell from Ids horse to all appearances dead.— | Thtlson at this moment hastening to the spot, Gray drew a revolver, and again fircsi, with such fatal eficut that me son Rlso fcll After thus disposing of his vicliinlwl'O weve t 0 appearances dead, Gray raa dc off, and at the present writing, we areßiot advised whether he lies y ,J t been arroted. The foregoing was gleaned from the Colonel himself, who rallied su<intly to relate the particulars of the murderous attcek, as well as .its probable cnuße.- — Cincinnati' Commercial.

The fire was plainly seen from Galveston, the citizens of which place were out en masse to witness the sublime and awful spectacle. Thftire originated in the (ire room. Ihe tiller rope burned oil and the boat became untnanageable, while the engines continued running. At latest accounts fifty persons were missing. The books were j all lost. From extras issued by' the GalI vestoti News, we take the following par- | !icnhir< Mr. Mills, whose dead body is here. I -WMjUst closing his business at Lavaca, intending to reside hearalter in Clinton, La. ®de was in the small boat with Mr, Grove, until the rope was cut, when we was knocked overboard by the tackle block swinging around and striking him on the head. Some are of the opinion that the tire originated in the hay stowed away between decks. The bodies of Messrs. Mills and Millhouse have been laid out and enclosed in coffins, and will be sent on by the Galveston Co New Orleans. The body of Joseph Hamilton is also appropriate!}' shrouded and conffined, and will b. buried at 5 o’clock to day. He was resident of Trespalacois, Texas, and owned considerable land in the vicinity of Lava?a. Sunday, 2 o’clock, P. M. The revenue cutter is just in. S 1 I'tiags Captain Sheppard alive! He was pictep up, clinging to some life-preserv-ing chairs, nearly exhausted. Great joy is manifested at the news of his safety. The cutter also brings in alive James Brown, watchman, of Louisiana; Samuel Weils, passenger, Wisconsin. She brought no doa 1 bodies. One was attempted to be drawn from the water, where it was clingfog to a chair, but in throwing the rope (he chair was disengaged from the handfcf the body, which then sunk. The body was of a young man, with long black hair and heavy long beard. The pilot boat is just in. She brings threefcersons alive and six dead bodies. Ihe Barnes of the rescued persons are pass Ager S. W. Fichlin, of Ma. John banf<Bd, Texana, and John Irowley, fireman. The dead are three German woman, and one boy two years old, names unknown, and Col. Bainbridge, of the Uuited Slates Army.
