Y., Jan. 13.—A special to 'The Press and Knickei*bocker from Tribes Hill, N. Y., says: This village is in a perfect fer ment of excitement over the attempt of Thomas Link, proprietor of the Central hotel, on the life of his wife, which -will probably be successful, and his subsequent suicide on Saturday night. It appears thht Link, who was a drinking man, came home about 10 o’clock Saturday night, and going to his ■srife’s room, suggested that they both take a drink, saying that it Avould he the last they would ever take together. She, seeing the condition in which ho was, was afraid to re fuse and acceded to his demand, drinking wine while ho swalloAved a large quantity of whisky. TMs seemed to mollify him, but they had scarcely been in bed for half an hour, when he suddenly grabbed her, and producing a razor, from some uuluioAvn hid ing place, presumably beneath the pillow, opened the blade and drew it across her throat before she had time to resist. She jumped from the befL and fled to her father’s room, which was on the same floor, but Link followed in hot pursuit, flourishing the razor, and uttering demoniacal shouts. Her father sprang from his bed just in time to prevent Link from inflicting further in juries on his Avife, but the infuriated man struggled and attempted to take the life of his father-in-laAv. The latter being the ■ stronger, soon overcame Link, Avho suddenly broke away and dashed back to his own room. Air. Kilmartiu (the fathei-in-laAv) turned to attend to his injured daughter, and then gave the alarm. Upon returning to Linlfis room, hoAvever, he found that the would-be-murderer had cut his own throat from ear to ear. Link died in a fcAv min utes.

He was a laborer work ing in the south part of the toAvn of Persia, about four miles from here, and boarded in the same house vjith William Burdick, John Hobacker and William' Lacy, also iaborers.
