Habtfobd, Conn., Dec. 31.—William H. Buckley, Republican candidate for Governor at the late election, has written Charles J. Cole, chairman ot the State Republican Committee, refusing under any circumstances to accept the governorship in case the Democratic black ballots of New Haven should be rejected. He says: "No matter what the General Assemly may do or declare, any action they, may take must be with the knowledge that in no event will I serve, or take the position which I believe it was the intent of the electors to give to another."

From the Indianapolis Journal. The Legislature will meet here next Thursday, and the city is already- filling up with gentlemen from the out counties who are interested in that event. But few of the members have arrived yet, it being the intention of the majority, evidently, to avoid the Importunities ofthfc numerous candidates for the various offices in the gift of the Assembly. The Legislature will meet at 10 o'clock in the morning, and, doubtless, will be speedily organized, as both houses are Democratic by an undoubted majority, and the dicta* tates of "King Caucus" "will be speedily carried out. in the event of a prompt organization the Governor's, message will be delivered Thursday afternoon, and the character and extent of this is as yet an exceedingly doubtful matter. Governor Porter has held numerous confidential conferences with himself about the message, and is evidently satisfied *with the result, no matter what may be the feelings of the reporters or politicians regarding the matter. sue

The second was" a'stranger whom the same parties killed for money while stopping at a boarding house. The third was her own child, a daughter, aged 14, whom she strangled in the presence of her mother at Rule, Nebraska May 1880.

GAMBETTA'S LAST WORDS,' 4

Paris,Jan. 1.—Gambetta left no political testament. He made a private will Saturday. The patera reporting his death are selling in every street and crowds are struggling to procure them. Telegrams were sent to President Grevy cUothet authorities immediately after the death, (lambetta died in a^stite 6t unconsciousness, but in the course of the afternoon he exclaimed: "Jesius perdu inutile de dissimular mais jai tant souffert que ce sera un^ deliverance."

Was quite

conscious to the last. The death agony lasted two hours. Spuller, Etienne and Dr. Frenzal were present at the last moment. The physicians who attended Gambetta state his death was due to pyemia, caused by suppressed erysipelas. A clot of blood formed in the heart and suffocated the deceased. A plaster cast of the face was taken this mOrning. There will be an autopsy to-morrow. A state funeral is expected to be given.

The death of Gambetta created an immense sensation here/ Groups gathered on the baulevard by 9 o'clock this morning discussing it. It is reported he will be buried at Nice, beside his mother.

GdmbotU'i Reiiiaini.

Paris, Jan. 2.—Thert is some idea oi postponing Gambetta's funeral until the 10th inst. so that the-Senate and Chambers of Deputies may attend in a body. It is estiinated that. 3,000 persons visited •the house at Ville-De Avray yesterday. People were admitted by groups of five or ten into the hall, whence they ascended to the «mall bed room where the body is lying. Visitors included ministers, senators and other functionaries.

The room ia poorly furnished. The body lies on a small iron bedstead completely covered by sheets, exoept the headj which reets on two pillows. The face ia pale, the hair grayer tban formerly, and the beard entirely gray. Gambetta appeals fifteen years older than he really was. His friends seemed utterly beside themselves. Some aged men were Weepiag. Hiere were a few flowers on the foot of the bed, otherwise there were none of the emUeme usual in France on auch occaaions. A painter was seated at the foot of the bed aketching theecene. Other artiste for illustrated papers were similarly occupied in the room. The menej Gambetta leaves principally accrued from his newspaper. '. correspondent, who made a tour of the Paris streets yesterday, says there was real consternation in the Bourgeois and trading quarters. In the artisan districts there was a stern indifference among the groups of workmen, and one person was even exclaimed against for saying that the Republic had suffered a great loss.

Clemenceau will probably take Gambetta's place. Further details of his death state that Gambetta was impatient to see the end of the year which he considered had been unlucky for him. The body will be embalmed and removed to Paris to-day. Gambetta's fortune is.estimatea at under 760,000 francs.

The autopsy shows that the death of Gambetta was the result of pepityphilitq[ pesicolite. Any surgical operations would have been dangerous and unjusti-

liable. No lesion was discovered in any organ except the intestine?. The poet mortem examination on Gam betta waaheld in order to contrisdict rumor that his death was caused by a bullet in the abdomen. The oorpse will lie in state in Rue St, Didier until the funeral.

Gambetta's sister has gone to Nice to l&taln her lather's consent to permit a state ftmeral.

The cabinet decided the funeral shall be similar to the funeral of Thiers and Cremienx as membejs of the government national defence. vh

The Pariaians decided to close their shops on the day of the ftineral.

New York, Jan.

gives the following version of the causes leading directly to the death of Gambetta, as related by friends of the dead man: 8eiting aside the old story of the pistol shot nred at him by the mother of his son, which is strongly denied, the most plausible version is that after having leceived an accidental wound in the forearm he became impatient at his detention at home which was intensified by the alarming stories regarding his conditio* which filled the press and by others of a more annoying nature which his enemies indulged in. The wound was healing nicely, but his desire to appear in public

grew so that he requested Dr. Lannellongue to stop the suppuration, which he did, though he pointed out the danger Gambetta was running but to which he was deaf. He only desired to appear in the Chamber once, or at least in the room of the commission, of which he was chairman, which he believed would put :, an end to the outrageous ^reports in circulation. The doctor, against his better judgement, did as r^feuestel and in a few hours the pus fromahe wound, being debarred from its natural outlet, took aoother course burrowing under the skin towards-the shoulder and soon manifested itself in two large pblagmons under the armpit. They caused him the greatest pain. He had-

Press Opinions.'

Paris, Jan. 2.—"The Clairon" '(Royalist) sees the finger of God in the death of Gambetta. That journal revives the old story that Gambetta was shot by a woman.

Rochefort, in his"Intransigeant," publishes an article headed "End of a Savior," reminding those whom Gambetta threatened at Belleville that they can now sleep in peace.

The "Voltaire," "Paris" and "Telegraph" express grief at Gambetta's death and refer to his deeds when the country was endangered.

The "Sateil" (Orleanist) dwells upon theblow that opportunism received, but refiains from saying anything against Gambetta's memory.

FIERCE FLAMES.

Qstte a Dlsastrsas Firs Tils Meratsg sa 8 waa Street The ringing of the fire bells this morning about 10 d'clock was cauaad by th» burning of a dwelling at 617-19 Swan* strset. The house was occupied by two* families, Jacob Doll living the east half and John Gebhait the west half. The fire originated in that part of the building occupied by the laat named and was caused by a defective flue. The whole roof was in flames before the occu-' pants were aware of their danger, one ot Mr. Gebhart's little girls being first to give the alarm. The 'department promptly turned out but the flames had got a good start before they reaohed the place and thus much trouble was experienced in extinguishing the Are.1

This was done, however, but not before the whole west end of the-building containing the furniture had been destroyed. The east end of the building did not suffer such a severe loss although al) the furniture in the second story was more or less damaged by fire and water.

The building ia itself is not of very eat value, being old and having stood ie tests of many years' active service. The property belongs to the Msjor Hudson heirs.

The loss, including the furniture, will be in the neighborhood, of $1,500. Insurance, not known..
