Hr.r.'I'm | : Urn correspondent veiled tlio scene of thu McCuhbins tragedy tins afternoon. The .lessons ranch , where t In * immlnr took pliico , Is located Ilireoand onrhiilf niilra north ot Leigh , Neb , , Justin t be edge of Stunton county. The house Is a one-story three-roomed Mj-ui'turo with a porch on the south and went sidn. To the east about IHty yards is a largo barn and cattle corral. About , two hundred rods iluo cast of the McL'nbbiiis bou.so Is the residence occupied by Krastus Dennis , an employe of the ranch. Prank Yob , tlio llrst victim of Mcl'tibhlns' wrath Is a young man about twenty yours of age and live feet nine Inches In height. It scorns ho came In from the barn about 8 n. in. nftcr doing some chores and had gone to his room to remove his outer coat when Mcl'ub- bins followed him to the door of the had room with a revolver and llrod two slioti In quick succession , ono shot taking effect In his right sddo Just lielow the breast hone nnd ranging upward : * , niul the supposition is that it lodged somewhere near the heart. Tlio second shot struck the wall about two feel from the lloor. The wounded man rushed past AIcL'ubbins to the porch where he fell from ttio loss of Wood. Mrs. McCnblmm had made her escape from the house nnd was about two rods away to the smith when Iho murderer llrcd the Mint that killed her. The hall look effect Just below the ear on the right side of tlio neck , lodging just at the b.iso of the br.iin , killing her in stantlv. Krastus Dennis , who was feeding the cattle nt the barn , hearing the tiring came up to wards the house , when Mcl'ubbins called him to como and witness tliu ter- rlblo deed ho just committed , but Dennis hesitated at llrst when McCiihbins pointed the revolver at his own head ami pulled the trigger , only to Had the revolver was emptied , whereupon ho threw it away. Dennis then caino up to the bouse and talked & ' with McCiilibins. MrL'iihblns told Dennis that his wife had confessed everything and that lie ( Dennis ) knew thu cause. Dennis h.istened to the nearest neighbor for help nnd returned soon afterwards in company with I'eter Ciliuidt. During tin * absence of DeiinH Met'libbins carried bis wife into tin * house nnd laid her on the bed. Returning to the porch ho dlseoveied that young Yob was not quite dead , so ho took n largo carving knife and cut his throat from ear to ear. ear.When Peiinis and ( llnmlt caino up to tin house Dennis asked Mct'ubbins what ho hni dime with Ids wifo. Ho said he had carrier her into the house. Dennis asked him if Frank was dead and ho said yes , that he could not stand to have his wife dead and Frank alive. MeCubbins then went into the house and pulled down the curtains , Dennis and ( ilundt then dispatched a messenger to heigh for assistance and Constable t'ushnmn and llvo deputies soon arrived on the scone. After some parley tlio crowd approached the house and , Hading everything qviet , wont in and found that Mi'Ciihhins hud taken poison and had died la horrible convulsions , lying on theued with the corpse ot his wife. On the tank * wus the following message : "Atlanta postolllce , Hamilton county , Ind. is niv mother's home. Her name Is Iremi UarrU. Have her come quick. "II. MiCrnniss. " The coroner from Stantna was telegraphed for and arrived at the scene of the murder Into last evening. Afler-cinnanelling a Jury the following verdict was rendernd : "Frank S'ob , now lying dead , came to Ills death by a pistol shot and having his throat cut. and Mrs. McCiibnins cnino to her death by a pistol shot tired by Henry McUiihbius , un.d that Henry MrCub- bins came to ids death by nn overdose of aconite. " Mr. McCubbins came to the .lessens ranch last September from tiiblnin , Neb. , and formed a co-partnership with a Mr. linker , n ' resident of that phieo.'in the c.ittlo raisin- ; business. Kverything seemed to bo moving along nicely until some time dur ing the holidavs , when MeUubbins ills- covered that the relations exisilng between young Yob and his wife were not what they should be , and ono time. McUubbms throw a Hat iron at Yob with the Intention of finishing him then nnd there. Some time during the tlrst of January Mc Cubbins discharged Yob , but Mrs. McCub bins inteivcded la yoimg Yoo's behalf and ho was nealn employed. In fact , Mrs. Mc- Cubbins declared that if lie was not rein stated she would le.ivo the premises. Mrs. MrCiibbius was about thirty years old , medium height and not a bad looking woman. It is rumored that the woman and young Yob had every urramrcmont made to elope fcinno tune near the tlrst of March. The remains of the murdered people were left in the hands of the undertaker and were being prepared for burial this afternoon. McCubbins ami ids wife will nroliably bo sent to Atlanta , Ind. , for burial. The exact location of Mr. Yob's parents are not known , but tlniy live somewhere In California. His remains will bo interred in tlio cemetery at l.elgh. A telegram received nt Leigh this after noon announced the fact that Mis. ( iiirrU , McCubbins' mother , was on her way to the scene of the terrible tragedy. The dead counlo leave a fainilv of llvo children , nnd ii is said that McCubbins carried insurance to tbo amount of SMMH ) or SUMKX ) on his life. Tin : Hr.i : correspondent was unable to learn the whereabouts of Mrs. McCubbins' par- cuts. According to the .statement of Carrie Mc Cubbins , the oldest chilil , McCubbins and his wife had frequently quarreled concerning the young man. Yob , and , according to the st-iteineats It certainly seems that .McCubbins had abundant cause to be jealous of Yob. Ho left a note lying on the table saying : ' Tell mother when she comes that 1 want mo and Nettie buried at Mount 1'leasuut graveyard , Indiana. H. Mi Ci muss.

St. LouU today bade an impressive farewell to ( leuor.il Klicr- man. l-'or the first time In several days thu tun shone out gloriously , but Its rays fell upon the city draped In moiiriiinii. The hearts of tins people were saddened , and with ono accord all manner of men abandoned their earthly pursuits and assemble I along the Hue of the funeral proivsislim to do homage age to the honored dead. It was a soldier's funeral the funeral of a general -hut not nloiio of ono whoso last Journey was attended with all tlio honors duo his rank , but of an oftlcer beloved by Iho army and honored by the people. For miles the streets were lined with a solid wall of people stan ling at least a doroii deep. The city was draped In morning. The grief of those in tlio procession was ( outline , but apparent to everyone. Tno dead Koaur.it's comrades of liaiisom post marched In hollow squares about the caisson. ICvcry face were that solemn look which said too plainly for words : "I luivo lost a friend , " Following the caisson was a handful of the survivors of the old Thirteenth Infantry , Sherman's llrst command in war , a smill and grlef-strickcd body of men following their old leader over the road whlcli they , too , must travel at no very far distant day. There were besides thons.iuds of veterans of the war , members of the Ur.md Army , old and grizzled comrades in arms of the dead general. Slowly they walked and only to' > plainly was it written that the ravages of tlmo were fast depleting tlio wnks , yet none of thorn were so old or feeble that they would admit even to themselves that thov were tax ing their istrength In following Sherman to Calvary , oven as they bad followed him to Savannah. Just after sunrise this morning the Sherman funeral train arrived at Viindalia , III. , and a heavy dischaige of cannon nwolco those on board. A stop of ten minutes was made to afford tbo people a chance to see the casket. So great was the crowd th.it all could not gratify their desire in the short time allowed. At Cireenvillo , a small village west of Vnti- dnlia , a number of veteinns were drawn up in line mi t he plat form. As the train ciimeto a stop they presented arms and ono of their number sounded "taps" on a bugle. Quite a crowd of people troiii the city and surroand- ing country were present and viewed tbo casket. At every llttlo cross-road as tbo tram ' nciired St.'Louis were groups of people and ono and all stood uncovered as the train passed. This marlc of rosnect was universal during the entire trip from Now York. A liii'Ke crowd of iioisons , mostly railroad men , gathered at Hast St. Louis , After a few minutes' stop tlio train started across the bridge to this city. At the union depot and in all the streets in the immediate vicinity immense crowds of people were assembled. Tne funeral train arrived at Just ; 'M. As it crossed tno bridge a salnto from a battery announced its ap proach. Kinurgitnr from tlio tunnel the train was compelled to proceed slowly wlulo the police cleared the tracks of people. Flags all over the citv are at half mast , many of thu buildings and stores nro draped in mourning , and blade framed pictures of the dead general could bo been in numerous windows. Tlio business of thi""ty is en tirely Mispcnded and the streets tilled with people. The day was all that could bo de sired , t > o ( ar as .sunshine and cool , clear air was concerned , but tbo streets were very muddy from the recent rain storm. To this storm was duo largely the meagre mourning decoration * * . When the train reached tlio platform ( ! ov- ernor Francis , wtio was there with his stall and tlio members of the reception committee , paid liis rosncctb to Generals Scholleld and llownid and other military ofllcers accom panying tbo funeral party , After an ex change of greetings it was announced that everything was in readiness for thu funeral procession. Meanwhile the military were moved into position. Tlio caisson on which the body was to bo borne was stand " ing" in readiness. It was drawn by MX bay horses , tlio riders of which were llio men who worked the Hotclikiss gun at the battle of Wounded ICneo in the recent In dian war. Tlio body bearers were eight ser geants , from tlio Seven th cavalry and four from Hattcry K , Kir.st artillery. In front of the caisson was tlio Twelfth iii- fun try from Fort Leavcaworth , drawn up In line facing the depot. On the opposite t-ido ol , tbo street was Hansom post. ( ! . A. ! { . , which acted as a guard of honor. The hor.so that was led uohlnd Iho caisson waseiiilpped | with ttio dead general's saddle , bridle , boots and spurs. It was a black ono belonging to troop iVSoventh cavalry. All the lloral pieces were placed in an open barouche to bo taken to the cemetery. Atlii ) : ! ) General Merrill , chief marthal , and staff arrived. The casket was then re moved from the ear , and as it was placed on the caisson the Twelfth infantry nresciued iirms and tlio band played a dirge. Many of these assembled , touched by the sight , and veterans and comrades of the dead general could be scon weeping on all sides. Generals Howard and Slocinn wore so overcome that they could not speak for several minutes. Tlio order to march wus then given , nnd the Twelfth infantry eoiiuuuios wheeled into ' line and marchednp'llleveiitb street , followed by the caisson , on either snle of which UK ) members of Kansom post had ranged them selves.

It was composed of the icgtilar tnilitarv escort , as nrovidcd bv the reirular army regulations , Grand Army posts , Loyal Legion , Sons of Veterans , civic societies , state militia of Missouri and Ohio , members nf the legislatures of Missouri , Illinois and Kansas , governors of states and their staffs , and unorganized bodies of citizens in car riages and on foot. Tlio route of tne procession from the depot to the cemeterv , a ilist-inco of nearly eight miles , was through some of the principal streets and avenues of St. Louis. Tbo windows dews of nearly all the buildings wcru tilled with spectators and the sidewnlles were crowded with a struggling mass of humanity. Whllo there was no disorder in tlio hill sens-e of tlio word , the jam of people coming . rom the various intersecting streets when ho procession started was something terri ble. On I'ino street alone the gathering was estimated at 100.0JO people. Marching through I'ine street the magnlllcenco of the display was best seen. Truly it was just what the old hero wanted a military funeral. The heavy rumble of artillery , the clatter of the cavalry horses'hoofs on the pavement , mingled with the clam ; and jingloof the saber and spurnnd the steady tramp , triuupof infantry as the column passed made n scene never to bo forgotten. Straight out I'ino street for over two miles the procession marched. Then it wheeled into Uraud ave nue , where there was a repetition of the crowded streets and decorations of mourn ing , From tirnnd avenue llio head of the long column turned loft Into Florissant avenue , which runs by the west entrance to Calvary cemetery. Most of the troops re mained outside ttio cemetery. It wus ' , ' : ; ! u when all who had been assigned places took their positions about the open grave , which was lined outside with Hags.
