Killed the Father of His Sweetheart.
New York, Aug. 8.-Losing his temper because his efforts as a peace-maker did not succeed, Edward Mulvaney, a young man, knocked down and killed his prospective father-in-law, Robert Sealander, a contractor, on Pacific street, Brooklyn, today.
The killing was the outcome of a quarrel between Sealander and his son. Mulvaney, who was calling on Miss Sealander, feared that the disputants would harm each other, and intervened.
