Massachusetts Democrats Nominate Butler for Governor. Tho Colored National Convention Refuse to Endorse President Arthurs' Administration. An Address Finally Adopted New York Democrats Gathering at Buffalo Dixon Accepts. M A SSAClllSETTS D EM O C RATS. The Convention Proceedings Enlivened by an Animated Discussion ücneral Butler Nominated for Governor. Spkisufielp, Mass., Sept. 2(1. At 12:15 Jonas II. French, Chairman of the State Committee, called tbe Democratic Convention to order, and Colonel Coveny. Secretary, read the call. While the call was being read J. V. Condler rose and addressed the presiding officer, but was not recognized, lie remained standing until Colonel Coveny finished. As Colonel Coveny ceased reading N. A. Plynipton, of Worcester, rose and addressed the Chair. Condler insisted on his right to be heard, but French decided I'lympton had the floor. This was greeted with hisses in several arts of the hali, and for a second th.-ir was quite a commotion. I'lympton then moved that the officers of the t-tate Committee be the temjiorary organization of the Convention. This motion was declared carried, but it was doubted, and an uproar ensued, which was promptly checked by French, who called upon itev. Jir. Siranis'to offer prayer. At the conclusion of "the prayer Mr. French addressed the Convention. He spoke at some length on National affairs, reviewed the recent address of the Republican State Convention, referred to the administration of Governor Cutler in the highest terms, detailing the important events that have occurred the past year and predicted a great victory for the Democratic party throughout the country. On the conclusion of French's speech there was generous applause The various Committees were announced. Thayer, of "Worcester, moved the appointment of a Committee to nominate fifteen members of the State Central Committee. Thomas J Yargan, of Tloston, claimed he had the floor before Thayer, but French decided Thayer had the floor. Cries of "Shame!" After the motion being put. the Chair recognized Yargan, who said "there exists an idea in this Convention that tbe State Committee desires to perpetuate itself. The action of the presiding officer thus far has not been in accordance with the usages of Democratic Conventions Let us have a Committee made by the Convention and not by the Committee itself. I move the delegates from each County select one name and these shall be a Committee to nominate the State Committee." John J. Coffey, of Boston, seconded the motion and said: "I am opposed to thU cut and dried work, and opposed to the list with which the Convention had no more to do than bad the Kepublican State Convention. This has been called Bottler's Convention, but let it not be said that anybody but the Convention itself runs this Convention." Thayer, of Worcester, said he expected this outbreak but those who favored it were in tbe minority. Tower, of Springfield, was recognized by the Cbair, but Cofley insisted on being heard on a point of order. The Chair wouldn't listen to Coffey and there was a scene of great confusion. Quiet having been restored to some ex tent, rower was allowed to speak and moved tbe previous question. Yargan again obtained the floor, but there were loud and repeated cries of "question! question!" and the noise became so deafen ing that Yargan could no longer be heard. Thayet's motion was carried. The Cora-, rnittee on Organization reported the name of Kdward Avery for permanent Chairman; J "W. Couenry, Secretary. Avery then addressed the Convention. After reviewing the dilierent points of tbe Republican platform, be thus concluded bis address: Wfien reduced to plain English, stripped of needless vertage, this platfora. (Republican), might have been candensed intotnis: Ouronly belief is in the cohesive powers cf oßicial patronage ; our mortal fear is Governor Butler, therefore wa m o Id carry baca the admines tration to those )iappy days when office were fi lie i by ftood Republicans and official incompetency or malfeasance was either condoned or eoiice&led. From this and other evils may uod save the Commonwealth of llasachuetts. 1'. A. Collins nominated Butler, and William A- Simmons, in the course of a 8eech seconding the nomination, said: "The blue blood and cavalier must go down. The gentleman who presided over the Republican Mate Convention is one of the aesthetic representatives of IJeacon Hill, and his course illustrates how easy it is to descend from the

MODEL CLOTHE CO.,

position of a gentleman to that of a blackguard."' The Committee appointed to nominate the remainder of the State ticket reported as follows: Lieutenant Governor, Frederick O. l'rince; Secretary of State, Charles Marke; Treasurer and Keceiver General, Cavilly II, Ingalls; Attorney General, John M. Curumings; Auditor, John Hopkins. While the resolutions were being read the presence of Governor Butler was announced and the Convention rose and cheered him as he was escorted to the platform. After the applause had subsided he addressed the Convention, lie said the people of the Commonwealth and all who were in favor of reform and good government had rati lied the nomination last year. It now remained for him to give an account of bis stewardship. He had made recommendations, but not one of those recommendations passed the Legislature, which sat longer than any Legislature ever sat before and much longer than he hored any Legislature would ever sit again. One of his recommendations was to protect passengers on railway trains from murderous obstructions. As it was the recommendation of the Executive of course it did not pass. Butler, professing to feel no anxiety for Iiis own election, besrged his hearers to send him Legislators this time who would would have minds of their own and not have to run to the Kepublican State Central Committee before making up their minds on any topic. Butler reviewed all his acts as Governor, and continued: The Republican parly says General Butler must go, but he is satisfied to risk. Iiis chances of coin? to Heaven on this issue au4 Is willing to risii his case with tbe right feelinz nieu ur l women of this Commonwealth. Next yeauove will attend to mutters outside, aii'l if we. are faithful over a few thihgs the Bible tells us we shall be place ! over many. If we do our duty we can show thU country is what our fathers made it. the model Commonwealth of the world. -We will m.ikej her what she w as when Webster said : -'There stands Mass., look at her.' It anybody should say that to-day, I fear somebody would reply, 'and there st.tnas Tewksbnry, look at her.' I want to wipe out all tbat and all other disgraces." The Governor's speech closed with the remark he left his reputation with the plain people of Massachusetts. ' BUTLER AND TALHOT.

Tlie Latter Recall the Tcwktbury Investigation nnd Condemns the Governor for Entering Upon It. Boston, Sept 2C Ex-Governor Talbet, Chairman of the State Board of Health and Charities, under date of the 21st insL writes Governor Butler, stating that the letter's demand for certain cash books and the ledger relating to the accouuts of the Superintendent of Out-door Poor, has been referred to him, and he (Talbot) declines to deliver them, because the Governor has no legal authority to demand them. Talbot also requests the ret rn of ten books of records of the Board, which the Governor got possession of some time ago, aui has since had several persons examining. Talbot protests against such ex parte investigation. The Superintendent of Out-door 1'oor should have an opportunity for explanation of his accounts, and the Board is disposed to encourage any investigation necessary. In fact, the Governor never replied to she request made of Iii m by the Board last June, that be should present specific charges of misconduct of any of the oflicers of the Board. The Board is the proper body to investigate all charges, and any other method of procedure is unwarranted by law, is in violation of the proprieties of oillcial life, and unjust to the officers whose conduct iuay be called in question. Till! COI.OKKI PEOPLE. An Attempt to Uriiig Politics Into the Deliberation of the Convention Howled Down. Louisville, Sept. 2C The colored Convention is given over to resolutions and buncombe. After a dozen attempts to resolve as many sentiments this moruing the following was offered : Whereas, The Administration of President C. A. Arthur is in harmony with the grand old Republican party, therefore be it Kesolved. Tbat this National Convention of color?d men assembled give to tho Administration the t heartiest support. Qliis caused the wildest uproar and the Convention nas on its feet. The South and Wtbt hissed the resolution, while only a few from the North and East appeared to favor it. Personal violence was ollered in one instance and the wildest uproar followed. Cut finally the resolution, on motion of Herbert, of Lousiana, went to the Committee on Resolutions. No expression of opinion has yet been reached, and it seems unlikely that any will be. owing to the propensity of the entire Convention to talK at the same time. Entirely too much oratorical ability is present for any business to be transacted. A strong feeling exists to adopt Fred DoujrlasV speech as the sentiment ot the colored people of the Union, and have the same transmitted to Con press. A Kentucky delegate moved the following, which caused a great uproar: resolved, That the colored people of tho United States, in Convention assembled, do atlim our devotion anew to the Kepublican party, and will use our utmost endeavors for its continued ascendency and control of the National Government, believing it to be for the best interests of the wholo people. . The Convention refused to adopt the resolution, many protesting against bringing politics into the deliberations of the body, and only a wise decision of the Chair sending the question to the Committee on Resolutions saved the Convention from a split. The Convention this afternoon accepted an invitation of the General Managers and .visited the Exposition in a body. To-night a long list of speakers .are named to address the .Convention and actual business for the time is in abeyance The chances are fair for adjournment without further actual results. At a late hour to-night the Convention adopted an address expressive of their views and sentiments. " NEW YORK DEMOCRATS

Meet in Convention at IJuff.ilo Tammany Accorded a Proper Representation The Platform. Buffalo, Sept. 27. The Democratic Stat Convention opened under very favorable auspices. The weather la cool and clear. There wre no docoratlons In the Hall, excepting a few wreaths of srnilax. The delegates took their se tts in a very orderly manner, each one being numbered with a ticket to correspond. As Kelly entered tho Hail .he was cheered by the Tammany and Irvinir Hall delegations in the gallery. Tbe delegates arrived in a body, no preference being shown to any distinct body on admittance. It was a noticeable fact that John Kelly was the only delegate cheered on entering tbe Halb Daniel Manning, Chairman of the State Committee, called the Convention to order, and presented tne name of Alfred C. Chapin, of Kins, as Temporary Chairman. Id accepting. Chapin, in a very nervous manner, addressed the Convention, expressing thanks for the honor conferred. His remarks were mainly devoted to Elate affalri. He spoke la tho highest terms of tbe administration of Governor Cleveland. The speech was listened to with marked attention, only being Interrupted when the name of Governor Grover Cleveland was mentioned. Then tbe delegates applauded, the Tammany and Irving 1111 men, however, remaining silent In tbe roll-call, when the name of Samuel J. Tilden, Jr , was reached, tne Convention greeted it with Ion it continued applause. Francis Lynde, a btetson County Democracy delegate, presented a protest on behalf of thirtvfour of tlie County Democracy delegate against the admission of the Tammauy repreenutivcs. 1 he protest was referred to the Committee on Contested Fents when appointed. Senator ira I v aros lit u Li name was cuikd au 1 gave uotiee that the

Tammany delegates whose names were excluded from the roil would present a protest agsjust tho admission of the County Democracy delegate. Ex-Justice Callahan, of the Irving liall delegates said he desired to present a protest against the adminission of J". Francis I.ynde and thirty -seven others, and Thomas F. Grady and twenty-three others as delegates. These were also reftrred. When the name of John Kelly was called the Convention applauded loud and long. In response to the call of an enthusiastic delegate three cheers were given with a will for Kelley. Tho County Democracy reprepresentatives. however, remained lilcnt. The following resolution was adopted: Kesolved, That the Committee on Contested Feats shall consist of one member from each Concessions 1 District not contested and so be selected by the delegates from auch District whose seats are not contested. tx-MsyorCooner, representing the County Democracy, offered an amendment that New York City be excluded. The amendment of .Cooper was finally voted down and the resolution adopted, 'i homes V. Keclicine was introduced as a representative of tbe harmony mccttng Monday niht in New York and presented the resutions adopted by thnt body. John I Franev, on behalf of the workingmen, oCered a resolution: 11) Asking for the abolition of the contract system in penal institutions; ('.')

Ihe Chairman of the Committee move! the previous question. Grady, of Tammany, immcdia'ely jump! to his feet and said, "1 ask that upon the question as to whether themain question shall be put witnout & delegate on this lhor having a light tosiy a word, that a yes and no vote be called, and we will find out whether this is a Dcmocra ic Convention or whether it is completely under the control of some gag law," 'ihe roll was cal'edand the previous question was ordered: ayes, 2S0: nays, 9i The mam question was then bu ; and carried by a viva voce vole. Upon motion br Grady to reconsider the vote then was a hot discussion, Tammany Hall and Irving Hall representuives roundly abusing the County Democracy.

The matter was disposed of by Grady withdrawine h's motion to rocOLsidcr. ThonusC. Benedict, oV Ulster County, w as made Permanent Chainnsn. The Committee on Resolutions made the followin: report, and it was unanimously adopted: The Democracy of New York reaflirms the platform adopted at its last State Convention, which lias received the approval of the people, as shown by a majority of nearly -JUO.000 at the last election, and they especially denouuee the proposition that the people snould be taxed to raise a surplus fund for the Federal Government to distribute among the States. We claim with pride and satisfaction tbat every pledge therein made has been in good faith redeemed. Valuable reforms have been wrought, useless offices have been abolished, the civil service has been freed from debasing and injurious influences of partisan manipulation, freedom and purity of primaries have been secured, political assessments have been abolished, receivership abuses have been corrected, the principle of local self government has been adhered to, the cfticicncy of the National Guard has been increased, taxation for the support of the Government has been reduced, a State Bureau ot Labor Statistics has been established, the rights of the workingman have been further protected and the injurious competition of convict labor baa been curtailed and business been better. On the record thus made, and whkb w e will steadfastly ad Hero to, the Democratic party asks a renewal of tho awards of confidence ot the people, and invites, with reason, all friends of honest fcuue admsnistration to join the Democrats la preserving and perfecting the reforms in progress. und in extending them to all branches of the State service. We heartily indorse Governor Cleveland's administration. It justifies the great vote which elected him. He has deservedly won the approval of the people by his Industry, firmness and intelligence und aggressive honesty. Tho results make his administration one of the best the State ever had. Isanc II.

HEADY TO KETIKL1. Judge Kay, Chief of the Division of Poxtai Laws of the Postoftice Department, Ten ders His Resignation. AVajiiixotox, Sept 2". The resignation of Judge Ray, Chief of the Division of Fostal Laws and Regulations of tbe rostoffice Department, has been tendered to the Postmaster General, and will probably be accepted. Judje Ray occupied a somewhat peculiar position in the Department, bein the head of a division which had not been created by Congress, but which had become established by uaee of office. In this position he was called on to give opinions on lecal questions at the sime time that there existed a regular law otlicer of the Department in the person o( Assistant Attorney General of the Postoffice Department, Jude Freeman. Judpe Gresham on becoming Postmaster General and finding a conflict of opinions between the law divisions of bis Department concluded that 6uch anamolous conditions of things should not be allowed to continue, and so issued an order transfer ring Judge Kay's division to Assistant Attorney General's ofiice, making but one haw Department. The personal relations existing between Judge Kay and Assistant Attorney General Freeman were uch that tbe former could not work harmoniously as a subordinate of the latter officer, and sooner than continue in such a subordinate position tendered his resignation. Judge Ray was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Indiana before coming to Washington. The Postmaster General has the highest esteem and res Dec t for J Judge Ray, add their relations remain perfectly SITTING HULL. lie Will Not Enter the Catholic Church Tiecause of His Polygamous Views. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 26. The ceremony of receiving Sitting Bull, the great Indian chief, into the Catholic Church, which, it was anticipated, would take place this week at Fort Yates, has been indefinitely postponed because Sitting Bull can not make up his mind which of his two wives he will let go. Tbe forms of the Church forbid a communicant to have more than one. Bishop Mortv has had him under his care for several months, and bis instructions were being rapidly absorbed by the chief, but a separation from his wives proved too much and he will probably return to heathenism. A HOOSIEU. C.J. Dewey, the Noted Forger and Swindler, Recognized as an Indiana Man. Montreal, Sept. 29. Tne absconding produce man and forger, C. J. Dewey, who victimized the Molson Bank here to the extent of töO.000, turns out to Le the same man who committed forgeries upon the National Branch liana of Madison, Ind. for more than Ito.ijOO, some twenty years a?o under the name of K. O. llalpert, and for whose arrest warrants were issued at the time. He was recognized in this city a few days before his absconding by John Roberts and John W. Verry, of Madison, Ind., and had he remained a few days longer be would have been arrested for ex tradition. A Terrible Crime. Rock port, Ind., Sept. SO. Yesterday morning a store boat which had been occupied by two men was found burned to ashes in the Ohio River, two miles above here. In tne hull was the charred body of a man who had been shot in the head and pounded with a hatchet. The perpetrator escaped, and the names of the parties arc unkuown.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Flora tiarrett and Mnggie Wells, Inmates of a Shelbjville llagnio, Darned to Death. V Special to the Sentinel : v Shelby viixk, Ind., Sept. 30. About 5 o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was given, which was soon located in a house of ill-fame known as "Mrs. Uenry's," but who resigned her position as Madam some two weeks ago to Ida t Moore, alias Kitty Wells, whose home is in -Greenfield, lud., but who came here, some eight months ago from Indianapolis. Tho house is a two-story frame, with two rooms downstairs and two rooms above, each pair en suitcJ In the rear are two onestory adiitions, oue oT each side, one used as a kitchen and one Ma wood-house. The front room upstairs had becn'reserved by Mrs. Henry for herself, and the door leading into it from the room immediately back was locked with a hasp and padlock,, she being away. The stairway led from tbe kitchen into the rear room upstairs, which bad no winder. This room was the one occupied by the two girls who were burned. The front roomdown stairs was occupied by Kitty yWells, the proprietress, and Nelson Purduam. a young oartenuer, oi mis city, me room oaca oi this, between the front room ana the kitchen, was occupied by Fred Tormelee, a young laboring man who lives here, and who occupied it alone. Jptty Wells testified to the above state of affairs before Justice George M. Wright, acting as Coroner in this case, and said that all -retired about 12:20 o'clock, and tbat there had been no fiie in the house since 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. She stated that she was awakened about 5 o'clock by tbe screams for heln proceeding; from the two girls upstairs, and going back to the kitchen door she discovered that the whole rear portion of the house was a mass of flimes. She then ran out the front door accompanied by ber two male companions. In the meantime the poor girls upstairs were still continuing their agonizing screams for help, for they were canght where escape by their own unaided eCorts was impossible. Tbe stairway had burned, and escape in tbat direction was cut otf. There were no windows in the room, and thia avenue was also closed, and lastly, tho door opening into the front room where ih?y might have escaped from a window was locked with a hasp and padlock, as before stated. Iiofore assistance could be rendered them their voices were hushed in death, and it was only when nothing was lett of tbe house but a heap of blackened and burning embers were their bodies recovered. When found they presented a horrible sight, onlv that portion of their bodies from tbe neck down to the Inecs remaining, and the portion left being as black as a coal, the arms bavins shriveled up until tbey were not more thau a foot ion?. Near where the bodies lay an ugly looking dirk knife was found, and thi, together with a long incision on the left breast of one of the bodies, which was said by two physlcia' a who examined it to have been inflicted by some sharp instrument, gives rise to the suspicion that the fire was intended to cover all traces of a darker crime. That the honso was set on fire is unquestionable, and it is expected tbat some sensational disclosures will be made at the inonest. Flora Garrett, one of the victims, lives in St. Paul, eight miles cast of here. She was about twenty years of ase, and entered the house where she met her death week before last. Msgsie Wells, the other victim, was about eighteen years of age, and came here from Columbus last Wednesday. A Sentinel reporter met a resident of Shelbyville at tho depot last night, who said tbat Nelson I'urdum and the other man, whose name is Tormelee, were arrested and placed in Jail. Purdum subsequently gave bail. The girl who escaped f-tOOd by" the . fire insisting that "two girl are stiu in there." but no attention was paid to her, and not until the fire had died completely out were her words verified. There Is a good deal of excitement in the town over the affair, and it is the general opinion that a murder had been committed, and tbat the tire w as an after thought to hide the crime. The Wells woman formerly lived on West Washington street. THE INQUEST On Flora Garrett and Maggie Wells Concluded. Special to the Sentinel: Shelbyville, Ind., Oct. 1. The inquest in the cases of Flora Garrett, whose real name is Alice Cushan, and Maggie Wells commenced at 2 o'clack to-day. and was concluded at C, when Purdham and Tormehlal were discharged from custody, there being no evidence implicating them in the death of the two girls. The Coroner will make up his verdict to-morrow, which will be to the ofTect that the girls came to their death from being suffocated by the smoke and flames of the house they occupied, which was set on fire by some unknown incendiary. As to the cuts found on the body of one of the girls, the Coroner will file the report of Dr. J. P. Kobins and Dr. T C. Kennedy, giving a description of them, leaving the mystery surrounding them as well as the identity of the incendiary still unsolved. The remains of the two girls were buried here to-day. Suicide. Special to tbe Sentinel : Gkeexseceg, Ind., Oct. 1. A heartrending scene occured here to day. As the Northbound train on the Vernon, Greensburg and Kushville Railroad was leaving this city at 10 o'clock a. rn. a woman was seen near the crossing of the railroad and "West North street. She seemed at first to run, and then to hesitate, until the engine was within a few feet of where she stood. Then, with a spring,-she threw herself in front of the train. She was struck in the head by the pilot, and her clothing becoming entangled, dragged some hundred feet. An examination of tbe body regaled the fact that all the bones of tho t'llwere crushed, the scapula and clavicle broken, also the humerus. The bones of the right lower limb were broken in several places. Notwithstanding so many injuries, only a single wound was visible when placed in the coffin a cut on the forehead. The victim of this fatal accident is Mrs. Emma BrickeL She was the daughter of Kev. Gray, a Baptist preacher of this community. She was married to Robert Brickel, a drayman, March, 18S0, at the age of fifteen. The Clerk of this County refusing to issue the necessary license, it was by misrepresenta ion procured in Ripley County. A child was bora to this couple, but died soon after. Recently, some trouoles having arisen, Mrs. Breckel instituted suit for divorce. On tbe stand she testified that she bad been the victim of bad treatment and neglect. She stated that her busband had, in imperative terms, ordered her to contribute to the support of the family. She said that he sent men to her, and then claimed the money, which was from Bheer necessity the price of her disgrace. The divorce was refused, and when Mrs. Breckel left the Court Room she said: "Well, there is a war to get rid of him." Brickel, on examination, said that there bad been some domestic trouble, alleging that his wife had been olf on a trip with one Davis, but that after the divorce suit they yesterday met, made it up, and agreed to live together; that he left her money to purchase some things to-day. It was shjwn that Mrs. Brickel, early this morning, threatened suicide. She asked for paper and wrote a note, saying it was for Bob, and that if her body was not entirely cut up. he could find it after her death. The Coroner found the following

note in viter bosom. It was written on a .crap of brown paper, nearly effaced by the ' Blood of the ill-fated woman: f' October 1. . Dear Friinp I will tell you now I'm in trouble, 'and I am coin? to get out of it, and get into more trouble. So, Bob. be good, for t can't bo with you any more. Kever marry another woman to get ber into trouble and to kill herself for you. Bob, you can kiss my lips when I am cold In death. You will be my last thought. So goodbye forever. Prom Emma Brickel to Boh Brickel. Mrs. Deringer stated that Mrs, Brickell took a dose of her "cough medicine", about 7 o'clock this morning. She also says that the victim threatened suicide, but that no attention was paid to it. There is a noted disinclination on the part of the witnesses to tell anything more than they are obliged to. The Coroner's inquest isadiourned till to-morrow.

Tin: gre.it tkot. Jay Eye See Victorious in the Itace With St. Julien An 'Immense Crowd and Intense KnthusiaMii. Fleetwood Park, Sept. 21. Tbe great trot for f 5.0C0, between the celebrated trotters Jay Eye See and St. Julien, caused the largest concourse of people to gather on the track that has been seen on any race track in America for twenty years. At 2:4 theie was scarcely an available spot left to see the race from tbe grand stand, quarter stretch or Club House grounds. At least 5,000 equipages of every kind were within tbe inclosure, and the line extends from the gates as far as Que Hundred aa4 Twenty-fifth street, a distance ol two mile?. It is quite evident tbat thousands of people will not bo able to get within the Inclosure. Many notables aie present, among them YiIllam II. Vanderbllt and Frank Work. Yanderbilt drove into his private shed behind Early Rose and Aldine, while Work drove Dick Swivel! er and Edward. The betting is very heavy. St. Julien still has the call at $100 to fN). The track is very heavy in spots. Wiseacres claim that Jay Eye See can't trot in the mud. Jay Eye See has just appeared on the track. Tie appears in excellent form. neu he tinished his exercise be was greeted with thunders of applause Pithers will handle tho ribbons during tue contest. Orry Ilickok will drive St. Julien. Both horses are now in sheds on the track, guarded by a large force of policemen. They are having rather an arduous job in keeping tbo great crowd bacit that is surging and scrambling about the sheds. Tbe track is being scraped by a dozen improved machines, and it is thought that by the time the race begins it will be in very fair condition. The weather is very warm, cloudy, but not threatening. Twenty-four thousand tickets have thus far been sold. The crowd awaiting admittance extends as far as the eye can reach. This will give some idea of the extent of the concourse present. Petting was suddenly dropped and fron present appearaucea U Julien will start favorite at $100 to JtO. 3:20 p. m. The horses are now being rung to the post. The judges are George B. Alley, former owner of Dexter, Alexander Taylor and David Bonner. When the driven entered the office of the clerk ot scales to weigh on, they met with an enthusiastic reception from the vast throng. St Julien's driver wears biack and the driver of Jay Eye See purple. Body weighs 150 pounds The first beat started at 8:15 p. m. EL Julien drew the pole at the third attempt. His competitor got the word with St. Julien half a length ahead, ilickok kept SL Julien under pull inrounding the turn. Jay Eye See wasftt St. Julien's heels. After getting fairly under way Say Eye bee began to draw on St. Julien and the excitement became tremendous. Abreast the quarter pole St. Julien led by a quarter length. The backs of both animals were now as level a a billiard table and were moving like pieces of machinery. Approaching the half mile post. Jay Eye fee drew up even with his antagonls'. At the hill, fifty yards from the tnree-quarter post. Jay Eye See broke but two skips. He at once settled down to werk again, and quickly overhauled St. Julien. Ihe excitement now reached white heat, and nearer had to call on the crowd for sileuce. Oa catering the home-stretch Jay Eye 8ee was again at St. Juhcp's heels, out Ilickok carried trie Hue horse far out into the deep mud, at the same time keeping SU Julien on hard track. The struggle down the straight was grand.

An Investigation Into an Oil Company's Affairs Some Savory Revelations. IIakbifbceo, Ta., Sept 27. Two or three years ago the Auditor General of Pennsylvania believed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio waa not paying enough tax to Pennsylvania for business done within her borders and set about investigating. Careful inquiry led to the development that the corporation owed the State about $3,000,000 unpaid taxes, and the matter was placed in the Attorney General's bands for collection. Suit was brought, but the evidence was not forthcoming at the trial, and the State got a final verdict for only $21,000. The business of the Standard Oil' Company in the State is done principally over the Pennsylvania Ilailroad and branches, which set the President of the opposing Philadelphia and Heading Railroad to inquiring, who reported to the Governor of the State that a man named Patterson had been bribed with a few thousand dollars "to withhold important testimonyBy recommendation of the Governor the Legislature appointed an Investigating Committee,' but nothing important has been developed. At the session today the principal witness was Palmer, Attorney General when the suit was brought, but be .was deploiably ignorant, from the fact thai hen he was Attorney General, at an annual salary and perquisits of $12,000, his Deputy, Lyman D. Gilbert, did nine-tenths of the work, and was about the only legal individual who knew the real facts in the Commonwealth's case, so Palmer could truthfully answer all the questions and reveal nothing of moment Gilbert was also on the stand, and swore that he knew of no money being used in the settlement of the case save as he

had ,read in newspaper extracts of Patterson's testiniony.at Titus ville. But Patterson was here to-day, and not called why is not made plain, though it is known that he was in llarrisburg during the trial of the case in Court, with testimony, which be showed to one or more persons, damaging in character to the Standard. But he was not examined during the entire trial. The general belief here now is that the Legislative Committee, with the Attorney General, will find nothing out of importance in regard to the alleged suppression of evidence whereby the State has been enabled to recover but $1,000 of an account of 3,145,900 against the Standard Company, as made out by the State Auditor General. The Committee will labor in Philadelphia next Wednesday. THE IXSt'LT TO ALFONSO. ,

The Spanish King Satisfied the Action of the Mob Iid Not ltepresent the Sentiment of the French Nation. -Loseox, Oct. 1. The Taris correspondent of the Times says: "King Alfonso is perfectly satisfied of the good faith of Trime Minister Ferry as representing the French Government. The King docs not admit for a moment that the spirit shown on Saturday by the mob, which was excited by false M.:'ementsof anarchist agitators, represents the French Nation. In abridging his stay in Paris by one-half the time intended the King desires to diminish the difficulties that have arisen from his visit "Marquis De La Vera de Arniijo, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Spanish Government entirely agree with the decision of the King to leave Paris. Alfonso was quite unaware of his appointment to the Colonelcy of the Uhlan Regiment until he received it and his uniform simultaneously. Emperor William intended the appointment as an agreeable surprise, lie would not lend himself to anything that would be likely to excite prejudice against one for whom he had taken an exceptional liking. Bismarck had nothing to do with the appointment. Alfonso and the Duke of Connaught exchanged visits Sunday. President Grevey went to the depot Saturday to greet King Alfonso relutictantly, but if his manner appeared cold his words were cordial." Did Hiui (iuod. Ma irid, Oct. 1. The hostile reception accotded Alfonso in Taris has considerably inCreased his prestige at home. His personal courage and discretion, his dignified bearing during his progress through the streets of Paris and his visit to President G re vy's residence at Elysee. without escort, are subjects of general eulogiuKi and of admiration by the Spaniards.

The fireman was also shot throueh t.io breast and badly hurt, though not fatally. Tbe men assailed ihe express car, but Samuel feterswi, the messenger, was prepared for them and n.adc such a vigorous fiht that the robbers were dr.ven off. Finding the train arout-ed and themselvc likely to be worsted, t he robbers then beat a retreat, having failed to secure the treasure which they were after. Information wa at once telegraphed suuions alon? the line, and a special train started tprVoolidse from Dod?e City, With a posse of armed men in pursuit. Tue dend engineer, whose name is John Milton, lived at Kmtoria, his run being bctweeu that place and Dodae City. KAKSaSCITT, Sept. 20.

He was Slic'ntly wounded himself. They obtaiaed no booty. An Evening Star Dodge City specltj says the body of John Hilton, tbe engineer killed in the attempted robbery at Coolidge, was brought here this moraine and a Coroner's inouest is now being held. Hilton leaves a wife and four children, who reside here. The wife is unconscious as a result of the terrible shock.

Deputy Sheriff Mather, in charge of the Dodsje City posse, was met at Coolidge by the heritl of Hent County, Colorado, and they arrested two men and brought them to this city on a special this evening, and lodged them in Jail. The feeling is intensely bitter, but these men are not as vet fully identified And no steps have been taken to avenge Hilton's death on an uncertainty. Another man baa been arrested at Garden City and will be here n the morning. Ii is thought that only three were engaged in tbe shooting and the circumstantial evidence is strong, but being masked, it is hard to fully recognize them. AKCHBISUOP rUtCELL'S DEHTS. The DUtrict Court Gives an Opinion as to the Liability of the Variou Kind of Church Property Held by Hint. Ciscisnati, Oct 1. The Hamilton County District Court, composed of Judges Johnson, Smith and Moore, this afternoon decided the case of J. B. Mannix, assignee, vs. J. B. Purcell et al., which was an action by the assignee to obtain a judgment of the Court as to the liability of the Diocesan Church property to pay the debts of" the late Archbishop Purcell. The case is one of great magnitude. The hearing occupied three months, ending in June, 1882. It ha3 been unde consideration till now." The opinion was delivered by Judge Smith, beginning at 2 o'clock. It occupied nearly two hours. Out of nearly two hundred pieces of property held by the Archbishop fourteen were selected for this trial as being representative of all. None of these were Churches; the others were tbe Cathedral, including the Archepiscopal ' residence and school, St. Mary's Seminary, Cumminsville Orphan Asylum and St. Joseph's Cemetry, old and new. The Court found that in case the Churches, though the title was id fee simple in Archbishop Turcell, yet they were built from money raised by members of different congregations, and that the title was in Archbishop by Reason of the rules of the Church, whicn, in such case as this, the Court is bound to regard, that Archbishop held the title only as trustee for the uses of the congregation, and that the property so held could not be subjected to the payment of the debtsof the Archbishop. In the case of one Church the majority of Court found that the evidence

showed the Archbishop had advanced soma money, and the Church was liable for that amount to tho assignee. " As to Cathedral and Cathedral School built by the Archbishop directly from funds placed in his jiands, except about ?K),OX raised by subscriptions, the Court held that, though tho Archbishop held property in trust, as he did other Churches, yet to extent of the amount advanced the assignee wasentitled to recover with interest for the benefit of creditors. The Orphans' Asylum at Cumminsville was also declared a trust not subject to sale, and the mortgage given by Archbishop Pnrcell on it. to secure " a creditor, wa.3 declared of no binding force. The same view was taken as to St. Mary's Cemetery, with an order for reference to the Master, to ascertain if the Archbishop made any tidvances to this property. As to tha cemeteries the majority of "the Ciwrt held that they were not dedicated to the public; that consecration .jia t amount to dedication, and tLat such portion as was not sohl for burial lots could be sold for the benet'.t of creditors. Judge Johnson dissented as to referring the pieces of property to the Master for an account, and dissented wholly front the view that the cemeteries were not dedicated to the public, aud held in trust by the Archbithop. THE SPEAKEKMIIP.

The t ourier-Jonriiar Estimate of tho Strength of the Several Candidate. Lovisvili-E, Ky., Sept 30 From the CourierJournal's Washington Bureau: Circulars have teen Ecnt out within the rant few months bearing upon the question of the Speakership. There are 191 Democratic members of the next House. The Democratic caucus will not consist of more than 190 members. From the Bouth there at 101 members, froai the entire East, 42; from the North and West, C3 Friends of Kandall claim that after Cox is out of the way 1 out of 21 members of New York will o to Randall. Thia claim is exaggerated, but grant it. Give him l votes from his own State and half of the remainiEjg 9 votes from the East and he has 31 votes. Give him 2" votes from the South, w hich is the largest number claimed by bis friends and 5 more than he wrll ever receive, and he has 66 votes. Out of hi in the 'A est tbe most sanguine friends of Kandall do not extect more than lb. This number, added to 56, would Elve Kandall 71 votes, or 21 votes less than needed to give him the nomination if there should tie a full caucus. Now for Carlisle's ehance. We predict be will receive the following vote on the second or third ballot from the States named ; Alabama, 5 : California. 3: Illinois, &; Iowa, 2; Louisiana, 3; Michigan. 2: Missouri, 9: New York, (Cox out) 12; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 4; Texas, fe; West Virginia, 2; Arkansas, 4: Georgia. $; Indiana, ; Kentucky, ; Massachusetts, 2; Mississippi. 5; Nevada, 1; New Jersey, 1; Ohio, 9; Tennessee, 5; Yirpini. l; Wisconsin, 4 total. 116. Cox will receive more votes probably on the Bret ballot than Mr. Kandall. He will not get lea tbsn 43. and may rise 50. Mr. Springer will receive seven or eight, and there will perhaps be ten or twelve soatierln; votes, and the contest narrow down between Carlisle and Cox. . FROM PERKY COUNTY. Presidential Candidates, and a Deserved Tribute to Hon. Gabriel Schmuck, Denio--cratic Candidate for Mayor of Indianapolis. Hon. Heber J. May, State Senator, in a private letter of recent date, says: The Presidential canvass is apDroachin?. and of course the availability of candidates is discussed. Ex Senator McDonald is more frequently spoken of as a candidate for the Presidency than any other public man. Now and then he is obected to. however, on account o( what is termed his absolute free trade doctrine. lion. Tbomaa A. Hendricks holds a warn, olace In the hearls of the. Democrats ot this section of Indiana. He l as lo.-tEoneof his political power aud strcnplli in this part of tne State, lie would maintain his strength, which is probabiy more than the purty strength, asa (residential candidate or ss a candidate for any other kish office of public trust.' lti however, circumstances should occur to prevent tbe uoniinaliou of eitner of these disliuguished statesmen, lndiaui has other Presidential timber that would be satiii.ctory to the Democracy. We are all pleased with the nomination of our former citizen, Hon. Gabriel Schmuck, for Mayor. He served lor Kime yeuis as Kecorcer and Clera of this Coumy, and was a thoroughly caiib'eand faithful public servant. Should tie be eleotea Mayor of Indianapolis, he will discharge hduty with ability and integrity, and I apprehend his administration of the artairs of your city would redouud to the credit of the Democracy. His liberal views are commendable. Titii'LE i:EcrrinN. Three Negroes Hanged at Chatham, Vir. Ktnia. Chatham, Va., Sept. 2S.

CUTLER TO TALOOTT. The Governor Charges that Crookedness it at the ltottoin of the Refusal to Perniit Him to Examine Certain RooLn, Boston, Sept. 20. Governor Butler has sent a letter to Ex-Governor Talbott in reply to Talbou'a refusal as Chairman of the State Board of Health, ' Lunacy and Charity to deliver to the Governor v certain books of accounts kept by Wheelwright, Euperintendentof theCutdoorToor. The Governor asserts his right to audit accounts under the Constitution and intimated tbat the reason for withholding (aid books is because the account! of monies disbursed have not been honestly keoL If Tal boit really claims that the Supreme Executive Nafistrate can not be permitted to see the books of accounts of Executive Boards and Officers of the State, the Governor says he can understand why no more of the abuses that existed during Governor Talbott s administration of the executive oflice were remedied or discovered. The Governor says be waa tryine in obeyina Talbott'i request to prefer charges against Wheel wiigbt, and endeavoring to get at facts by examination of tbe looks so that charces could be intelligently preferred if true, but the books are refused him. These obstructions simply tend to ihow that there is something wrong in the accounts which must be covered up at all hazards. THE XEAY STAMPS Have nn Enormous Sate in New York City.
