A MYfTEsrocs murder was unearthed yesterday at tha Southern Hotel, St. Louis. Our telegraphic columns furnish det&ib. The buildings tbai fell in New York on Monday ware fcuili in an almost criminal manner. Tho contractor has boe:n arrested.

Bciert Toomih, cf Georgia, conversing the other dr.y ith a friend eaid: "Ihe greatest vice to v-hich the human family ia addicted is gamblirg, and yet do you know there isn't a wcrd in tb.3 Bible in condemnation of it, There is ncthirg in the ten commandment, nothing In tlio lernten on the mount, nothing anywhere in the Bib'e against the passion thii leads to mors sins than almost any other." The incendiary Republican press of Chicago, backed ty an occasional country paper ortwo,tave thus far failed to create a riot in that city. It would perhaps ba well encugli for this clas3 of journaliet3 to remember that at a large meeting of so-called "Socialists" in Chicago a few weeks ago, one of the speakers 6Ulog:red dynamite to the sxi3 and suggested that a Ood place to make a beginning with it wa3 at the newspaper otllces. Tux President sent a special messenger to New Ycrk to convey to General Grant his sympathies. A telegram in regard to it says: "One of the pleasing eplsodai of the day was the arrival of a special meisenger from Pr?ident Cleveland Marshal MsMichael, of the District of Columbia who arrivsd at th3 house early in the afternoon. Ha hai bean sent ever specially by President Cleveland to expren to the General and the family the Pxeaident'a solicitude as to his welfare, an d, also, to conyey his sympathy with them." Hon. Joe Nichol qualified yesterday as law cleik of the Tostcfiica Department. This is a gcod position, and it will be worthily filled by Mr. Nichol. Etcij bedy hereabouts seems sati;Ged with the appointment, and delighted at the goctl tern In Mr. Xichgi'a lacs:. There is a well grcuDtlf d aaspicioa that he wai wiLdlfd cut ct Lis seat in the State Senate by some cf the dextrous of the highly moral Republican parg of this county. Our Washington dispatch cajs that Mr. Nichol received hundreds cf corgratulatory telegrams frcm Indiara y?t?rday. LET US UNDERSTAND EACEI OTHER. The Sentinel of 3 e3terdav had a few plain words to eaycf a Dj:no:ratic S?catorwho, throughout the s?3sion of tbe Legislature, in public end in private, was eter ready to apeak disparrglrely cf the Sentinel. Though aware of his ihns t-'klcg we, dlgnilledly, passed hia ut.erauces by. His umbrage wa?, it appears, taken a.rin5t tVe Sentinel solely because he did not receive tho "mention" in its columns which hi conceit led him to fancy himself entitled to. He did receive in UeSanticel's Leg's'ative reports the same fair representation cf work performed ea did the majority of the Senators; bat it appears he, with lens cf modesty than egotism, esteemed himea.'f rs deserving exceptional mention oyer olhr excllent Democrats of the Senate. Now we desireaword with a few Democrats of this Senator's strife. We have to ray, in the first place, that the Sentinel is not to be driven in this direction cr that by the telfiih clamoring cf any man or me?. The purpose of its publication Is not tie manufacture ot reputations for over-conceited aspirants. Its aim la the promotion cf tha Democratic party and the interests o!

tbepcplsof Indiana. While working to this end, it ia alwajs pleased to tell the people cf the men who dexonstrate ability, bcreity, reepectability ar-d party fealty. Bat the Sentinel rruet be excused if it does r ot remit each man to be Lii own judge of what his merits are in the Sentinel columns. And our observation is that over ee!f-est?em is r.ot a very high recommendation for one eifajicg public life. It is an entirely natural desire cn the Smtirel's rart that it should be cn good terms ith all gcod men cf its party. When hel lirg diverse opinions from nr, we concede to ethers tho right to criticise our views and publications. But in doing this, we expect to be accorded the eame eiccarity of convictions we accord to our critics Bat when rxen, even of our own party, assume to discredit mctives and actions of the Sentinel, they need not be surprised at b5ing held up in its columns. The Sentinel has b?cn, and never more so than of late, an eirnest champion of Democracy, as not only the able and honest leader?, but the Democratic masses of the State 83 well, will attest. Our work 13 irj the interests of the party. If we oppose a Democrat, or a measure, it Is because we do not think that man or measure calculated tj advance the good of the party or the welfare of the Btate. Bat oar columns ere ever onen and our pen ready to advocate whom and what we conceive to be for the interest of the Democracy and the prosperity cf the State. Thus actuated, the Sentinel will press on its work, confident of the continued approval cf the Democrats cf Indiana. Aid if now and then some pssVy fellow, failing to receive th notice hii inSated cell appreciation calls for, jumps upto jaw the Sentinel, he need not be surprised if he receives the notice which the paper believes him deservintr.

A COLORED REPUBLICAN NONPLUSSED. There are some colored men seeking oilice under the plea that they supported the Democratic ticket during the last campaign. This is all right If they are honest about it, but it is too late lot for Republican colored men to claim favors of Mr. Cleveland after having supported Mr. Blaine, although cf course tho way is always open to a hiza private's position in the fcreat Democratic army. A Mr. Chase recently headed a colored delegation asking favor3 of Mr. Cleveland. He was introduced to the President and began his speeca to him, when the President called Iii attention to the following article, which CIieej had written for a Washington pap:rla3t November: It is time fjr every American nojro in the Fouth to make an ipptal to arm?, arid fire rrery Dtiuocrat t'ome to nr qrj-kilkrs livo, from a I a!2ce to a hut.

Before the committee had recovered from their astonishment, the President had turned to greet some other visitor3, and the colored committee retreated In as good crder as could be expected.

Itallt of Iiriekyard Befaae nd Mad The CorouerWtll Blake 1'nll InTestieatlon. New Yof.it, April 14 With daylight this morning it was easy enough to see the csuse cf tbe terrible accident in SIxty-eecond etre-t, yesterday afternoon. The buildings fell becauee there was simply nothing tohold them together. Buddertsick, the builder of the tenements that fell, ha3 constructed block after block in the neighborhood of yesterday's accident Thilip Hausman, a builder, said: "Tbe Louses fell because they were rotten; they were built of refuse; look at the bricks that were being used; they are not bricks, but halves, quarters and chunks cf bricks, poorly burnt; the mi-erable offal cf a brickyard; this stulT is what the walls were being constructed cf, but though that is enougd to condemn any building, if the public safety is considered at all, it is by no means toe went featura ot tnis ca3; you sae these brickbats are almost clean: there is no mortar on them at all. Ihe etuff used in laying the bricks In the wall was simply wet dirt. It is called kam, and is the clayey etuff excavated from the cellars alter the rocks were blasted for tbe foundations This loam is tine dirt. Sard and lime make mortar, A fourth part ot the lime required to make good mortar with eand will mix this Io:ru, and while wst isicmewbat sticky. So soon 83 it geUdry It does not hold at all. ThatisVhat ailed these buildings. The walls were ruv?e of brickbats, etnek together with dry dirt." All tho builders and mason, present orrobrated these statements. Said one: ' This loam when wet is mud; wneu dry it i.i powder, and thousands of tenement houses and fiats for the poor people are being put np in this city with just this stuff. All these houses ttat yen tee aboat here are built of rotten brick and sand mixed.' Gecjrs of men worked all night in the ruins, but turned up nothing save brick3 and broken timber. No dead or injured were found, and there was no sign of life about the ragged heaps of wreck. The firemen are of the opinion that there are bodies in the ruins. The hope gmws stronger, however, that this may not be so. Neither at the hospital ncr at the police station had inquiries been trade for missing persons np to 10 o'clock thi3 morning. Many of the worklncn were unmarried Germans, without frifDtis or relatives in this city, and living in bearding hcuse?. Some of tueso may hava been killed without their absence exciting ere cial inquiry. The Building Inspector will to morrow place on tral Examiner Robert M&ckey, who wa3 in charge cf thitt district, for al'oving the defective mortar to ba u ed in the construction of tbe houses. To day, Buddeusick's other buildings in city will be inspected by tho dep.irt jjent. BudiJ.eneick Las always been clashing with the Health Department in his efforts to evade the iawa of the department. Bcddensick is backed by a syn ticita of moneyed men. who it is said, would s:op at ucthicg to make raor ey. Louis Walle rr, the franicr who wn injured in the catastrophe. did to day in th h;spitel Tho coroner I103 impanelled a jurv, and will t-dy view tbe ruins. U.U juvatigv tion wiU be thorough, and will fix thi repouiibility where it bc!ojg3. The police this afternoon amv5t 1 Chirles Bnddc-nsick, tbo contractor, for II13 erection of the hnildirg. CLaiks A. Buddensick. the builder, walked into the Forly teventh Policn Station this afternoon, accompanied by his coanr:?!, exJudge Fullorton, ar.d surrendered him-ie'f, together with Charles Frarick, th9 inater bricklayer, and Charles Schweger, the other witnets held. He was taken to the Yorfville Court. Justice Murray questioned Franck at considerable length as to the materials used in the construction of tha tenements. Franck claimed that he was a subcontractor, and used the material furnished hir.i by Buddenück, and displayed a singular Ignorance of anything that might implicate him or any bedy else. Laborers were kept overhauling the buildiDgs all day, but found no bodies. The authorities believe that all the workmen are accounted for. The Cororjer's jury examined the building today, and will hold the ioquest into tho car.?e of the death of Louis Walter, cue of the workmen, who died this mornirg. The jury carefully examine 1 the bricks ard alleged mortar, and the walls of sorce building erected by Baddensickon Eleventh avenue. These wails were found in a dangerous condition They were settled and out of plumb. Tha Grand Jury will tako up Baddeneick's cae. He may be indicted fcr murdsr in the first degree. tiENEKALUlUXr.

While Dr. Douglas was writirg the first bulletin in the library at 0:30 a. m. the General walked into the room and tat down near the physician. When tbe bulletin was finished Dr. Douglas read it to General Grant and said, "Is that right, Gereral?' "Yes, that's right," responced tbe sick man. He brightened with the morning hours and at one time remarked that he fdt beiter than he had in two weeks. General Bedeaa left thehouse between 4 v" o'clock.

He does not require so much morphia now, es only (ix drops of the solution were injected to-night icetpad of the customary tea drops. He partoox of three varieties of nourishment to day, and the General, being in a facetious mood, alluded to the food ai his three courses.

Acting S?crftu-y Fairchtld sad to day that his idea was to secure in luture, if possible, a more promnt settlement of accounts cf Government olUcers than has been obtained in the past Fi ret Comptroller of the Treasury Darhara on Lot Wright' Accounts. Waiiiixgto.v, April 11. Judge Durham, First Comptroller of the Treasury, has given an opinion in regard to the accounts of Lot Wright, United States Marshal for the Southern District of Oiiio, for expea333 incurred In conducting the election for memb;r3 of Congress, held in Cincinnati in October, ISSt. The Comptroller sajs: Some of said deputies have been paid for one day's eervice, some for three, four and more days, and some for two daye. Some of these deputies were non residents of Ohio, and foma were residents of Hamilton County but not of the city of Cincinnati, My predeceftcrbad decided bafore I came into office that caid deputies must be votara of the State aud city, and that it waj illegal to appoint a deputy who was not a votar of the city and ccunty. in this 1 fully con cur, and 1 go further. I believe ths spirit of the law is take eaid deputies from their respective precincts in winch they vcte. IhaoDjEct in having tail deputies is to aid in preventing illegal aud fraudulent registration and voting, and to preserve Ue peace, etc ' Tbe reason given for thus holding is that a Deputy Marshal can not fula'll thesa requirements ucless he is a voter iu the precinct, in wbir h he terves. not having the reiai-it acquaintance. Judge Durham ex;irc-;'l the hope that this construction wilt ba aihe.rtd to in tbe future. He thinks thv. nu unt.ccfsaiy number of deputies whh employtd cn election day, and eomo cf thorn I'.r a longer period ihm necessary; thit, while a marshal should 13 giveu a Jrga dhcre'ion be should exerciee it with pradartce. As there was no re?iJtratiou at the election in qiifeiionhe is at a loss to know for what pnip-.ses deputies were appointed beforo the day of lec'.ion, ncr why such a large number thouid have be.-?n emr! j?d the day u!tr. The opinion holds that in this Marshal Wright abused u'a discretions. The opinion concludes as follows: "As an original propicillin, I should in tl.i3 ca?e decide that the Marital wi no, allowed to have any depattjj except on the day of the election where there v?a3 no rezistration, unles3 there waj clear proof that it was necessary to protect the clivers in ths fair counting of the ballots after the election was over and to preserve the peaca, aud then only so long es might be deemed necessary to give tbat protection. Bat as before eaid, Mr. Wright, I suppose, acted on the catsto u ot allowing for the pay of three deputies tne day after the election, and I shall not disturb the same. But the account will be adjusted the basi3 of rejecting tbe claim for pay of the eaid deputies who were not voterj in the city of Cincinnati at the time of his appointment, and rejecting all claims for more than two dajs' tervlce of deputies unless there shall ba shown by proofs a necessity for them.'-' Illinois Legislature,. SrriJcuriF.Li, April 14. Upon the nonse being called to order there was a pretty fall attendance. The first business brought up of importance was the report of the Special Committee on tha Employes cf the Houss, and proved an interesting document to them at least. The report showed that the cost of the Hous9 and tbe office of the Secretary of 8tMeo far, fcr this session, had been $:2134 TO, which they considered was far ia excels of what was necessary. The report contended that Speaker Haines had only been delegated with powertoemploy twentyfive janitor?, but instead he had employed eighty five, and so on in proportion with other cllicts. The report reccomaaends a sweeping reduction all around. Speaker Haines made a defense of hijact'on, criticiatd the report, and also ridiculed Dill, the Chairman, who, he claimed, had had five persons placed on the pay roll. Dill replied defend'ng his act'cä. Before the report was aiipod of tha Senate was annoancad.

The Chair then, acting ntdsr Haines' instructions, rn'ed that the cha8 with rtfcrrr.cf to committee clerks and janitors wun'd require a two thirds vote, unless oae dy's notice hat been given. The report was then adopted with the exception of that part having bearicr upon tboe eanloje?.

Explanation of tha Failure to Pad a tha Bill In Proper Shapo. Tte headless trnnk of the bill to reorganize the State Board of Health was the subject of some comment around ths State offices yesterday, but the officials themselves had fully recovsred from tho astoaishment Incident to the "find" of the day before. Auditor Bice, who drafted tbe original bill, explained the ciusa of the emission of the enacting clar.se. He eaid that the bill went to th Committee on Phraseology that some verbal changes might be made, and the bill afcerward passed, was substituted for the original, the report being to "strike out eil after the eDactipg clause and substitute the foliowing," which was the bill drawn by th committee. In copying tbe recommendation cf the committee, which would have left the enacting clause in the bill, was overlooked and tbp pobftUct-? reported, the en tnomerits considered ecgrosatd and the bill psficd. Mr. Bice slid that as It now exited the bill was t o doubt inoperative aud the Health Board vtcaM s'acd as constituted before the bill waa 'utroductd to r orsjaui.a it He mentioned tn this om-ection that the n-errisge law, priaU-I iu the sta'atc?, has co erecting clace, but its validity ha rever teen tested. fielders cf the Fentire1! should not gather from this fact, however, tho inference that the celibacy cf the Auditor cf State ia cansed from far that tho m&rriaj lapr digit at orr.e time be decla-e 1 -id A Sentinel rei T.er was inf jred yeaterday that a number cf Ktpnblicans, b)tn in He Hcns end ftnate, wo.-e avir of t'-e defect m th bill efttr b.dr-g :e:ortd from tie Ccmmitteecn Phraseology, but tint they kept quiet until it was to.j l:e t py arenedy. A rumor was current ye1er iy that lie GoTerr.or had rl!rd cpontheAtternry General fjr tn opinioa in the ct-e; bntwten tbe former was ic-:i yesvrday eltf rnoon he slid th.t Le bed r.ot se:i tha At'orney General with refe enr to that matter. Whether an attempt will b-tv.aie by tte Dem: cratic members to elect a -c-re-tary thia mcrnine could net h eared, hat tbe ccnerat opinion spptared to b tb&t to electicn wculd bo Leid The car dldates for that cfhco are no doubt disappointed at the unexpected tarn of affairs, "r ut those tbat vsere seen yesterday accepted tbe rrsult with gocd grace. If an e'.ect'oa should be held the prcbabilitiej are that Dr. Herry F. Barnes, of tail city, wonld be th successful candidate. He is well known in the medical profession, was a surgeon In the army and for several years wai connected with tha In:ane Hospital. Certainly no Democrat in tha Stats is mors deserving tr.au he.
