time to get them into this letter. A colored wo-
man tells Mr.. Stevens that she saw, on the day
OF the visit to ST. Georges, two men riding along
near Drawers Creek, in buggy, one
holding Tie other In his lap. A colored man
cav, he says, man driving along the cause
way in buggy, but bending over and looking
down into the creek. Just before, the man says,
he had heard splash, and seeing the man in
the buggy, the thought occurred TO him that he
had just pushed dog into the creek.
This evidence. il trustworthy, and according
to the information given me, makes, of course,
almost perfect chain.
There is hardly reasonable doubt that the
murder took place at or near the point whore the
road from st. Georges to Odessa crosses Draw
yers Creek. This is a secluded locality. The
are near. The spot is precisely such as would
permit one powerful man, tolerably sober, to
throw a drunken companion, of slender build
beating him. And this is the history Of this
murder beyond reasonable doubt.

Governor Dix,s Views.

The Governors arrival in town yesterday was
not generally known, and 1t may be that he was
right glad It, for had the politicians been aware
of 1t he would have had a very sorry time dur
ing his brief stay in the city. Many OF them
under the impression that he would call upon the
Mayor when he would come, have been, as 1t were.
lying In wait for him for the past two days, and
strict watch had been kept for him by the more
anxious on the arrival Of every Albany t.ain at the
Grand Central Depot 1t so happened that he
came down by the boat, which arrived IN this city
early yesterday morning. and at once drove to the
residence OF his sonn-aw, in West Twenty first
street, thus escaping the calls and opportunities
of the patriots, who would have pounced upon him
had he stopped at MOTEL. A HERALD commissioner
called upon him during the day. just bel fore he left
o short talk with HIM concerning hs action in the
Gardner-Charllck case. lJ was quite early when
the HERALD representative made his call, but the
Governor had apparently risen with the lark and,
ing over his correspondence. He received his
visitor with his usual urDanity. During the con-
versation which ensucd, which was cure ON In
formal one, the case OF Gardner and Charlick was
touched upon, and the reporter remarked
Notwithstanding your notification to the Mayor
that there were two vacancies In the Police Board,
Governor, there are q lew people who contend that
tne Mayor has the right to reappoint Gardner and
Charlick or accept the resignatlons."
II am willing that Issue should be made II they
want to make such an issue,u he replied
