New York, July 2-P. M.-Two men named
John w. Mathews and John Walton, the
former a produce-dealer in Jefferson Mar
ket and the latter residing in West Twenty
third-street, were murdered on Saturday
night, in Eighteenth-street, by some person
as yet unknown.
Warrants are out for the arrest of Charles
and Edward Jeffard, who are supposed to
have committed the double murder. They
are sons of former husband of Mrs Walton.
Mr.. Walton was a man of from forty to
| forty-fve years of age, energetic in appear
ance, and stoutly built. He has many
| relations in the city, and was highly
| esteemed by all acquaintapces.
Mr.. Mathews was q railroad-contractor,
and about thirty-four years of age. He lived
with his mother, at No. 81 Union Place. He
had been absent all day on pleasure excur.
sion, with his sister, to the fhsing-banks
| On returning he had gone to the upper part
of the city to transact some business, and
had just stepped from the Third-avenue cars
on his return, when he heard the cry o
murder" and starting in pursuit of the
murderer, met his death.
A pistol, found near the scene of the las
murder, has been identified as one recently
| in the possession of one of the Jeffards.
| Edward Jeffard was taken into custody
| to-day at the Jefferson Market Police Court
| which he entered to make some inquiries o
the presiding magistrate. .
| Suspicion attaches more strongly to Charles
than to Edward Jeffard. The, former has no
been seen in the city, according to his moth
er's account, since the Sunday previous to thu
| murder.
The decision in the New Haven case makes
valid all the spurious stock which appears OF
the transfer books of the company, amount
ing to l7,497 shares, and declares void 1886
shares which do not so appear.
The decision was technically in favor o.
the company, by declaring the Schuyler over.
issue as worthless. On the other hand, hold
ers of the stock are now placed in the posi-
ton of creditors of the road, and can bring
an action to recover in full the money paid
| for the stock. 1t is now only question o.
time with the road as to the payment, ant
the spurious stock has come to be more val
liable than the original issue.
