partners In revenge for fancied wrongs, and then 
committed suicide. Superintendent Walling and 
the police adhere to the former theory, as does 
the coroner also, who has charge or the investiga¬ 
tion or the case. The Times or Sunday, however, 
takes the other view, and cites in support of it. the 
evidence of several persons. 
Mr. Charles Tatntor, son-in-law of Mr. Geo. W. 
Jewett, and managing clerk of the Ann, says that 
he responded to an urgent call or the elder Jewett 
to him for assistance. He saw the forms or the 
two Jewetis stretched upon the floor In front of 
Geo. W. Jewett’s desk, where they were appar¬ 
ently thrown down by the shock of the explosion. 
In a moment he saw Mr. Orville I). Jewelt lire 
from a small Sharp's revolver four shots into Ills 
breast in quick succession. This statement is 
held to be substantially conllrmed by t he state¬ 
ments of the Janlior and ins wire. They each 
heard the lour shots after the explosion, but did 
not, however, witness the shooting, and the other 
circumstances related do not clearly Indicate a 
confirmation of Mr. Talntor's statement. The 
hand-grenade used was one of a quantity sent to 
the Jewett’s Staten Island facionesin 1863, during 
the draft riots, for their protection. The coroner 
Is continuing hts Investigations, and Is said to 
have discovered additional and important evi¬ 
dence concerning the tragedy.

LORD & TAYLOR’S OPENING- 
The announcement of Lord & Taylor, this 
week, is potent enough to dra w money from t he 
most conservative purse. Their special novelt ies, 
consisting of Dross Silks, Damasse, Camel’s Hair, 
Matelase, and other Dress Goods, comprise the 
finest articles la this department, and are all re¬ 
cent Importations. Silks liavo been reduced to 
figures that, arc most attractive, and buyers can 
depend on getting good value when making pur¬ 
chases. It Is becoming more and more apparent 
that the largo representative houses are absorb¬ 
ing about all departments, thus simplifying Hie 
question of ‘•shopping" materially. It is no small 
comfort to be able to equip the entire family and 
finish up with household furniture without cross¬ 
ing the threshold of the store, and it is even more 
comfortable to be enabled to remain at home and 
through the medium ot the post, avail one’s-self 
of every facility enjoyed by Now Yorkers, without 
extra expense. Tills Is possible, owing to the sys¬

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BURLING SLIP. 
On Thursday, April 5. about 10:30 A. M., Geo. 
W. Jewett and Orville ji Jewett, members of a 
firm or white lead and linseed oil manufacturers, 
were killed and Jos. A. Dean, another member of 
the firm wounded, by an explosion of a hand- 
grenade and pistol shots, in their office in Burling 
Slip, this city. Tlie explosUn was heard by every 
one in the vicinity and a crowd collected about 
the store Including members of the Fire and 
Police Department. Tbe latter ascended to the 
office on the second floor, and found the senior 
paitnei, Gee. . Jewett, and Orville D. Jewett, hts 
nephew, lying upon the floor, bleeding from 
terilblc* wounds. The older gentleman died 
almost immediately, and the other was apparently 
unconscious, Mr. Dean's wounds did nor. prevent 
his leaving the room without assistance. The 
shell had burst with great force, and the furniture 
and walls ot the room were badly damaged. Two 
revolvers and a hunter’s knife, 12 inches long, 
were found on the floor. Pieces of the shell were 
also scattered about. 
The wound which caused the death of Mr. 
Jewett, senior, was a ghastly one in the thigh, 
caused by fragments of the shell, the bleeding 
from which was quickly fatAl. Mr. Orville Jewett | 
was taken to the Chambers Street nospUal, where ' 
he died In great agony, at about 6 o'clock, P. M. 
Ills wounds, five in number, in different parts of 
his body, were produced by pistol shots. Mr. 
Dean was taken to his home in Waverly Place. 
The causes of this horrible occurrence are still 
more or less shrouded la mystery. One theory Is 
that Orville D. Jewett was dissatisfied with the 
arrangement by which his connection with the 
firm was brought to an end and that during a 
quarrel with his uncle he threw a. hand-grenade 
on the floor, intending to murder his partners, 
and was shot by Mr. Dean or some other person. 
Another is that, In a fit of insanity 'said to be 
herldliary In f lic family) he sought to kill Ida
