Yesterday James 8. Black was arrested on war
rant issued by Justice Shandley, on complaint OF
Ferdinand Kane clerk In the employ OF John II.
Ehrens, 211 East Broadway. According to the COM
plant made by Mr.. Kane Black called on him some
time since and stated that he was In the.empoy Of
Collector Shook and that the collector had author

be made In the regular tax on whiskey In case i've

Kane said his firm had enly one hundred
barrels, and therefore could not avail itself
OF the offered reduction In the tax. On this
Black, IL IL alleged suggested tnat friend OF his
one John w. Laidlaw had four hundred barrels and
would consent TO do the right thing provided the
one hundred barrels were turned over TO him. so
that he might take out the entire number with the
advantage OF the reduction In the tax.
To this proposition Mr.. Kane assentcd, and on the
23d OF April, as he alleges. he handed to o third
party, one Samuel w. Eollingshead, the sum or
$4,000, which he engaged to take TO Mr. Shocks
onlce for the purpose OF paying the tax as agreed.

From the Cambridge Md.) Democrat, May 27.l
ON Monday evening last, about six O'Clock Shad-
rach Bell farmer, living on one OF Colonel James
wallaces FARMS located about two miles from Cam
bridge, met his death at the hands OF william r.
Rock, a young man lately married, who was en-
ployed by him. From all we can learn II appears
that difficulty occurred at the supper table between
Bell and Rook the wife OF the latter running out OF
the house through fear before any blows were struck
One OF the two men during the melee procured an
axe from the woodpile, and this weapon was fear
fully used by Rook the dying words OF Bell, II they
are TO be believed showing that he was struck more
than dozen times with the uurderous iron. The
contest resulted In the disabling OF Bell, who was
afterwards found by the brother OF Rook and
Mr.; @. w. squires lying by me side Of q
and insisted that "John,n meaning Rook, had struck
him dozen times with the axe and dragged him
there. He was taken into the house and John Rock
came to Cambridge after physician. DR.. Chubb
went out, but his services Of no avail the
hopeless. Bell died In an hour or two. We WIS.,
tied the house where the homicide took place. Evil
dences OF q most terrific encounter were visible on
all sdes the walls were despatched with blood and
two or three small pools crimsoned the floor. On a
mattress In the middle OF the lay the dead body
Of Bell his head, face arms, wrist, back and sides
horribly bruised and cut. Rook was arrested on
Monday night and committed TO Jail and ended the
dreadful anair BY hanging himseh In jail.

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER At KINGSTON, MASS.
From the Boston Traveller, May


The murder at Kingston, Mass, on Tuesday night,
OF Cornelius Holmes, brother OF Alexander Holmes,
formerly president OF the Old Colony Railroad 1t Is
stated Is not less buried In mystery than the cee-
bTated Bussey Woods tragedy There Is said to be
for suspecting any one Of the citizens and
thought that only one person was connected with
the murder and he evidently was well acquainted
with Mr.. Holmes habits which were peculiar, The
deceased was about nfty-f0ur years Old, and when
ever he left home he always took his available funds
with him. He In described as very tmid man. and
often went out OF his way to avoid the children Of
the place through fear OF being made FUN OF. With
all his eccentricittes he was never known to be in
sane or considered dangerous He was undoubtedly
murdered for his money, and the place where he
cemetery thick with trees, and on the left clump of
pines. covering an area of o thousand square feet
The body was discovered early yesterday morning
by farmer named Bates, who was driving his cows
TO pasture. The skull was crushed In and the face
presented shocking and hideous sight. coroner's
murder visited the body removed to the house OF
Captain Leach, where the deceased boarded, and an
inquest held. Upon examination Of the place where
the murder was committed, four places about ten
feet distant from each other, where large pools OF
blood have stained the earth, were found The head
OF Mr.. Holmes had been forced half way into the
earth, with portion OF the brain exuding from the
skull over the right eye and on each side OF the skull
are marks OF heavy blows. The back OF the skull
was also forced In. From the nature OF the wounds
there can be no doubt but that the murderer per-
formed his work with heavy stones.
In Mr.. Holmes pockets were 5000, some OF which
was sticking out Of his vest pocket and the theory
that the murderer was frightened away The coro-
ner's Jury pronounce the case one OF murder by
person unknown To them.
The deceased was a member OF the Baptist Church.
reward OF $4,000 has been offered by the brothers,
Edward and Alexander Holmes.
