Murder In Chelsea.

The citizens of Chelsea were probably
never so thoroughly excited as on last Satur-
day morning, on learning that Police Officer
David Z. Wilbur had been murdered in cold
blood the night before. 1t seems that at
twenty minutes before midnight Mr.. Wilbur
was standing on the sidewalk on Park street,
near Congress avenue, engaged in converse
ton with Officer Wesley Abbott, when man
was seen approaching from the direction of
city hall. Mr.. Abbott stepped aside to let
him pass, when he approached Wilbur, say
ing, show are yon?" and Immediately fired
a pistol, then turning toward Abbott
fired again, the shot fortunately not taking
effect. Mr.. Abbott Immediately drew
his pistol but it failed to go off. The assassin
then fired five or six shots, none of them tax.
ing effect, and ran off in the direction Of
Congress avenue. Mr.. Abbott then turned
to WILDER, who in the meantime had walked
about thirty feet from where he at first stood,
spoke to him but received no answer; and
Immediately atterward WILDER fell Assist
ance was procured from the police station
and WILDER was conveyed thither, where he
was found to have been shot through the left
breast, about three inches above the heart.
From the description of the murderer given
by Mr.. Abbott, City Marshal Drury suspect
ed him to be one Cornelius Connors, a motor
ious rough, Familiarity known as ''Glees."
He was found at his house on Park street.
and when arrested seemed to take it as
matter of course, not even asking the cause.

The Orangemen and Catholics.
PROBABIIITY OF A RIOT.

PROBABILITY OF RIOT.
New5 York, 10. There was an excited
meeting of the Irish confederation in Avenue
Sunday afternoon A resolution deprecat-
ing any attempt to obstruct or prevent the
Orange procession, was voted down. The
disposition of the majority was in favor of
violence; the Mayor was in consultation with
police commissioners yesterday. 1t is under
stood that in addition to police, several regi-
| ments ofnational guard will be called out to
preserve the peace and protect the process,
siOnists If they are attacked 1t is thought
that few hot heads will force a collision on
Wednesday, but that the great body of Irish
Catholics will lend any countenance to the
premeditated riot is not believed. There
were several instances where the more mod
crate attempted to counsel the observance of
law and order. Great excitement prevails
and the air is thick with rumors. The Or
angemen expect to be joined in the parade
by about one thousand other sympathizers so
that they will have altogether about 1000
men.
They express a calm determination to pa
rade regardless of opposition, but seeking no
quarrel are prepared to repel an attack. The
grand master and other prominent members
OF the society have received many threaten
ing letters, warning them if they parade it
will be at the peril of their lives. The Roman
Catholic Irish societies, chiefly the ancient
order of llibernians of New York and vicin-
lily, number about ten thousand men, OF
whom all are believed to be preparing to
parade.
1t is rumored that delegation from the
Hibernian Society left Sunday night to wait
on General Grant, and request him to inter-
pose the authority Of the central government
to prevent a breach of the peace, which is
repreSentel as certain TO occur shOull the
procession take place. The Hibernans took
with them formidable supply of legal doc
uments, affidavits, &c., SO that the President
might have judicial knowledge of the threat
ened danger, and so be empowered to act if
he considered it a proper occasion for his in
reference Great hopes are expressed by
the llibernians that if the city authorities
will not stop the demonstration, that the Pres
ident will forbid it by proclamation.

bodies Of citizens participating in these feel
iDgs form part of our community. The
Superintendent has been legally advised that
he should not aid any street celebration that
involves feuds and luminosity, belonging sole
ly to the history of other countries than our
own, and which experience has proved to en-
danger the public peace at home and abroad.
1t is given out that armed preparations for
defence have been made by members of the
parading lodges. Indeed the announced pro-
cession appears to have been specially or
ganized beyond magnitude of any previous
one, and is emphasized with the announce
ment that apparently evince a determination
to resent if not to avenge the events which
attended last years celebration, and some of
its leaders have stated to the Superintendent
that they considered a collision inevitable,
and this needless celebration should provoke
a general disturbance. 1t would furnish an
opportunity all sought for by the lawless and
dangerous class Of the community to partici-
pate IN it, and carry the consequences so far
as to endanger the safety of persons and
property. Legal decisions have settled that
the occupation of streets by procession is
a mere matter of usage or liberation, and al
ways is subject to police regulation and SUI
pervision. The surrender of the thorough.
fares to large organized bodies of men, nee
essarily interspersed with the individual
sights of other citizens and those thus en-
gagged, are in the language Of the law, per-
missable trespassing.

The Z. d n. A. Railway.

Track-laying is progressing rapidly on the
European & North American Railway, both
westward from Vanceboro' and east from
Mattawamkeag. Fully thirty miles of the IS
between VIM and Vanceboro' are already
laid, and the Chief Engineer reports that all
can be laid by Aug. Goth. The Governor of
New Brunswick has been notified of the
promised visit of President Grant on the oc-
cason of the formal opening of the road, Oct.
llth, and assures most enthusiastic recep-
ton from the officials and people of all the
maritime Provinces. The occasionl will be a
marked one in the history of the Provinces,
and will give rise to universal festivities and
rejoicing that at last the long needed railway
connection with "the States" is completed
The Wing says Bangor will not be behind
hand in celebrating the occasion. The ben
efical results to that city arising from the
completion of this great line will be mani
fold. The commercial Importance of the
ident of the United States, will cause a gen.
eral jubilee there, and all along the line of
the road. The business of the road is increas-
ing remarkably, and the through traffic after
completion bids fair to exceed the expecta-
tons of the Directors. The bonds of the
Company meet with rapid sales and the larg-
er part of the entire issue is already Sold
No more perfectly safe and desirable secu-
rites can be obtained than these, and the
large sales prove this to be the general opin-
ion of cautious investors. When the remain
ing balance is sold, none can be purchased ex-
cept at a material advance over their present
low price. -"

The witnesses from Georgia were examined
by the ku-kluX Committee to-day. c. D..
Forsyth, solicitor for the Rome Judicial
Court, testified that he had convicted three
worthless vagabonds, who in disguise had
robbed persons on the higway. 1t was some
times with difficulty that he could convict
such offenders owing to public sentiment,
and fear on the part Of a jury. He believed
there was kuKlux organization, but could
not tell their designs or purposes further than
what they had shown by their acts. One con-
yicted man confessed that he was member
of an association having signs and passwords,
and that he was under obligations to obey
orders. Z. NJ. Shubey, Postmaster at Rome
Ga, a native of Pennsylvania, and resident
of the South for twenty three years, testified
that he knew of two cases, in each of which
he had been assured that a negro had been
whipped by men in disguise, and that two or
more at the dead of night, about the same
time, had entered Rome but had retired with
out committing offences.

Mr.. John Graves, the street commissioner
of Hallowell, has caused q most important
improvement of the highway across the plain
between the cemetery and the Augusta line.
This piece of road crosses marshy land, and
in spring time has usually been extremely
disagreeable if not really dangerous to trav-
elers. Load upon load of fir boughs have
annually been thrown into the sloughs, to
keep the public from being completely mired.
This year, however, Mr. Graves, who seems
it be just the man for street commissioner,
determined to permanently repair the road,
and accordingly he has caused it to be prop
erly elevated, and drained, as it ought to have
been years ago. 1t is now a good piece Of
road and the travelling public will thank Mr..
Graves and through him the city, for the
much-needed Improvement
