would be impossible now to find another org niza-

the numbers and character OF the attendance at

end Of that was another settlement, Mr.. Fisk agree
ing to give 5000 for the property-$5O,ooo down
and the remainder in nstalments. Papers for
this arrangement were made out, when It was
represented to Stokes that this would look as
though he had been Matchmaking Fisk and that it
would be better to have 1t settled by arbitration by
gentleman OF character, like Mr.. Seward who
would probably, too, give him ahgher award. Stokes

acted as counsel for Stokes The result OF the arb.

BosToS, Nov 9.-Two men were arrested yes
terday, named Alley and Barrett, both searn-
eters for the murder Of Ellis, whose remains
we're found floating in barrels in the Charles
River.
Alley was committed, this afternoon, t. await
the result Of the inquest into the death oiAbijah
Ellis. The circumstantial evidence is strong
against him. Barrett, the other suspected
party, had no connection with the murder.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 9.-The Boston papers to-day
state that the horrible murder Of Abijah Ellis,
whose body was found in the Charles River on
Wednesday, WAS committed deliberately in cold
blood, and for paltry amount Of money. He
WAS sober, honest, Industrious, and frugal His
habit was always to carry from $500 to $500 on
his person. Although he left his lodgings at ISL
East Dover street at 4:s0 on Tuesday morning
and did not return, he was seen walk
ing rapidly on Washington street BY
an acquaintance on Tuesday evening. He owned
the house No. 1853 East Dover street and leased
the adjoining one, Undertaking to several small
families and 1eserVing room for himself on the
third floor. He took his meals at boarding
house on Smith avenue. The general theory is
that he WAS murdered for the money in his
pocket, and that the assaaeins omitted to take
his watch for fear of Identification. The barrels
and shavings in which his mut1ated remains
were found form 8 clue which the detectives axo
