New ORLEANS, Sept 22.--The Confer
| ence Committee that has been holding
daily sessions since Thursday last, hao
| their final interview this afternoon. The
object of the conference was to arrange fol
the joint supervision and control of the
| machinery of the November election. Ev-
erything apparently progressed satisfactor-
| lily until the question of the composition
of the Board was reached. This Board,
which is the key to the whole election
scheme, consists of five members, elected
by the last Senate The law provides that
vacancies shall be filled by the remaining
members of the Board. The McEneryites
proposed that three vacancies should be Gre
ated, two of the vacancies to be filled by
them, the other to be filed by the joint ac-
ton of the parties, who should select some
person of irreproachable character, with
out regard to his party connections. This
proposition was positively declined by the
Republican committee, and the Conference
Committee finally adjourned without re-
suits
Judge A. A. Atocha, of the superior
criminal court, yesterday rendered his res
ignation to Gov. Kellogg, No reason was
assigned. Any action by state authorities
against the leaders of the recent troubles
would be brought before this court.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept. 22.-The deatl
of John Mahoney, whose body was founC
near the track of the Illinois Central rail
road in this city, Saturday morning, anC
who was reported killed by train during
the night, is completely involved in mys
terry, as shown by recent Developments. =
The yard ster, engineer, and other EN-
ployes of the railroad, testified at the in
quest to-day that not single car was mov
ed on the side track near which the bod.
was found during Friday night. This ties
timony destroys the theory that Malone,
had taken refuge from the storm unde
cars on the side track, and, falling asleep
was crushed by cars being switched durin
the night As the matter now stands, Ma
honey was either murdered, and the natur
and location of his wounds forbid that be
lief, or he was crushed by the switching
of the cars, and the employees of the rOa,
are concealing the fact for fear of bein
held for murder through their carelessnes'
Considerable interest and excitement
manifested, and detectives are trying t
work out a solution OF the mystery.
