PITTSBURG, June 20.--The East End was the scene of a terrible double tragedy to-day, a man named Weincoop shot his wife and then cut his own throat from ear to car. How the affair occurred is not known, as both were dead when the bodies were discovered by a son who went home to dinner and found his parents lying on the floor.
    The murderer and suicide has been employed at the stock yards for a number of years. He had been drinking hard of late, and while on one of his sprees a short time ago his wife persuaded him to sign some property over to her. When he became sober he was dissatisfied and angry at the advantage taken of him while drunk, and since that time he and his wife have had frequent quarrels over the matter. When the son left for his work this morning they were quarreling, and it is supposed that in his anger he shot her, and then, realizing what he had done, killed himself. They leave a family of sons, all grown up.
