The Clark-FewelI Tragedy.

The following is the dying declaration of
Clark, who was shot by Jewell at Brents-
vile, Va:
" was lying on the bed, and about half
asleep was aroused by heari ing the door
open, and on looking saw pistol pointing
through the inside, in Rody Fewell's hand;
| jumped up and ran to the corner on the
right-hand side of the door; as was going
to the corner he fired on me and missed me;
l ran to the corner on the other side of the
door; and he shot at me again | saw him
poke thc..pistol again through the door, and
| grabbed it 1t was about the size of a
navy pistol; | tried to wrest it from him
but failed He then drew smaller one,
and with that shot me in the breast; just
before he fired the last shot Major Thorn
ton came in and endeavored to stop him
from firing Jewell fired four times, but
missed twice, the balls entering the wood
work in the side of the CELL"

The Tribune, as a Democratic news

Anna Dickinson will not speak in the
Greeley interest this season. We thought
so, says the Toledo Blade. Annie has
an exceedingly level feminine head, and she
knows the Chappaquack.
"A simple calculation for simpletons--
If it took a Tribune reporter only one
night to convince all the people in the Grand
Hotel of his insanity, how long will it take
the editor-in-chief to convince all the peo-
pie in the Grand Republic?
-"Reconciliation" has been practically
encfored in some families of Maine, where
the husbands are for Greeley and the wo-
men for Grant. The wives insist that their
light shall shine, and consequently the
house is illuminated whenever the Grant
men have an evening parade.

If the New York Tribune proprietors,
instead of sending reporter to the
Bloominsdale Asylum who feigned to be
crazy, had only sent Whitelaw Reid the
physicians would not have been so badly
fooled as they were in making out their Or
der of commitment.
The extraordinary collapse Of the Gree
ley movement is causing dismay in Demo-
cratic circles, and startling rumor is fly
ing about that Greeley will be withdrawn
and an effort made to concentrate the party
on straight Democratic ticket. Where
ever this suggestion comes from, we hope
it will not be needed, We want to see
Greeley condignly punished and regularly
showed under. BY all means leave him on
the track. -Indianapolis Journal.
Horace Greeley has repeatedly said
that the Republican party had saved the
Union, extinguishcd slavery, preserved the
national credit, prevented reputation of
the public debt, and has always been the
promoterof wise and beneficent measures.
He has often asserted that the Democratic
party uniformity opposcdthese measures
and strove to bring disaster and ruin upon
the nation. Nevertheless, he now asks the
people to repudiate the party of progress
and reform, in favor of party which,
according to his own showing, has been
crminally wrong for quarter of centu-
ry.-S. Louis Globe.

ALL DARK YEr.--The investigation of
the Council committee on light into the
conduct OF the business of the city gas
works, have not yet had the desired illuni-
mating effect. We learn that the committee
made fruitless efforts last night to select
successor to Mr.. Melton. The outs rallied
in large numbers for the place, there being
seventeen candidates for the place. 1t has
been intimated to us that there is purpose
on the part of some one to turn the whole
matter of investigation over to his Honor
Mayor Kelley. If this is done, we do not
doubt that that gentleman will act promptly
in the matter without fear or favor, and
that the results of his work will be speedily
given to the public, who are disguised with
the unauthorized rumors that gain currency
with regard to the investigations.

HUs1TNGs CoURT.-At late hour
yesterday afternoon the jury in the case of
Conenski, charged with abducting Georgi-
ana Moses from Norfolk, returned YER
dict of not guilty. 1t is rumored that the
young people will probably wind up the
whole affair by getting married. just what
the young gentleman, we believe, has all
along been willing to do.
The following cases were disposed of to-
day: Jack Mantinos, breaking into the
store of F. Reversal; five years in the

from Theodore Frick, five years in peni-
tertiary Edward Hill, receiving s1S5
stolen from Theodore Prick; acquitted.

BEssEMER, the inventor of the process
of making cheap steel, now proposes to
revolutionize naval warfare, by making
a cannon twenty yards long. with bore
of thirty inches and walls eight inches
thick, and with this he will fire shell
weighing five tons. Instead of setting fire
to all the powder in his gun at once, he
divides his charge into different cells and
explodes them successfully, all going off
before the ball leaves the gun, and each
giving it new impulse.

CURIOUS FACT.-It has been noticed
as a fact that during the recent terrible
thunder storms the lightning has never
done any damage in cities of any consider
able size. Undoubtedly the iron which
enters so largely in the construction of
cities, in buildings, railroads, telegraph
lines, etc., dissipates the electric fluid so
rapidly and completely as it approaches
the earth that it is rendered harmless.

THE pointed fact that Greeleyism has
struck the down grade is beginning to
penetrate the comprehension Of the blind
est people in the country. 1t doesn't affect
them all in precisely the same way,
though. Some of them grow profane,
others bristle up and pretend to doubt, but
the majority settle down in the dumps and

THE Doc ORDTNANCE.--We hope the
Council will take some steps at the meet
ing on Monday night to enforce the dog or
dinance lately passed by that body. We
supposed the law was passed to be en-
forced. We supposed that dogs that were
allowed to run at large contrary to the
provisions of the law would be summarily
dealt with. If we have innocently mis-
taken the objects of the law, we hope to be
enlightened by the Council. A great
many owners have paid the tax; a great
many have not. We want to know if
those who have not paid the tax are TO be
allowed to keep dogs in the city? That's
what we and many others want to know.
