TELEGRAPH BREVITIES.

[More...]

    When young Henry Winecoop, of Pittsburg, Pa., reached home for dinner yesterday a horrible sight met his view. On the floor lay his mother and father, dead, in pools of blood, the former with a bullet in her heart and the latter with his throat cut from ear to ear. How the tragedy came about is not known, but it is thought the father first shot his wife, and then committed suicide.
