the traditional bird of victory Is so shy.
MIR. J. ". Gibbs, q gentleman residing In Harlem,
and who has never before been in politics, has
been waited upon by several delegations OF Ger

tends to accept.
The fight over the independent" candidate
grows warmer as Monday approaches. RumOr
not accept any nomination. II this be true M.

Tomorrow the Twenty-nrst Assembly District

officers Of his command have been endeavoring to
solve the mystery surrounding the case from tho
first, but as yet without success, and but little
hope seems to be entertained at present Of bring

Coroner EickhoH has assumed charge OF the mat
ter and yesterday, alter an Interview with Super
intendent Matsell, Inspector Walling and Captain
Hedden, 1t was decided that nothing was to be
gained by further delay, and therefore the inves-
LEGATION will be commenced on Wednesday next at
the Coroners' once, No. 40 East Houston street.
The hearing will be OF the most thorough and
searching character, to the end that the PEI
tors OF the bloody deed may be brought TO ght
and not less than 20 or 80 persons have been sum-
moned as witnesses.
Many persons still cling to the ioca that MIR.

JorIty OF people, conversant with the mysterious
circumstances surrounding the case believe that
the parties were murdered by q thief while In
