Of persons from the Eastern part Of the city,
for whom we will call the "Molly Maguires," for

the hour for the dance arrived there
came one lady in masque and
four or five gentlemen, while the
money taken for admissions at the door amount
ed to only about ?2.50-scarcely enough to pay
the janitor. Music was in attendance, but when
the musicians saw the prospect for the pay to be
not very encouraging. they quietly boxed their
violins and departed, leaving the company to
their reflections. collection wasIat once lifted.

MEMPHIS, April 20.-Oscar Burton was
killed at SOmerville, Tenn, yesterday by
man named Doyle. Burton, last fall, had
a terrible recOuntre with three brothers
named Reeves, during which two Of the
Reeves were killed and another dangerous
" wounded. Burton was shot nine times,
and it was thought fatally wounded.
LATER.
Later advices from SOmerville state that
Oscar Burton was killed by a young man
named Thos. \. Doyle, his former room
mate, who had been summoned before the
grand jury and questioned as to BurtOn's
carrying arms, as were two others. Doyle,
after testifying, told Burton what he had
done and offered to pay his fine. Burton
told him he would not shoot an unarmed
man, but warned him he would shoot him
next time he saw him. On Monday morn
ing Doyle started from the store to his
breakfast, and in passing Buttons board
ing house, saw the latter come out and put
his hand into his bosom. Doyle returned
to the store and arming himself with a
shotgun and revolver, soon saw Burton
crossing the street towards the store, and
fired the contents of both barrels into his
body. Burton fell and Doyle fired twice
more with his revolver, but Burton was al
ready dead. Burton was but Is years Of
age, and in addition to the two men whom
he killed last August, had killed man
nearly years since. BuTtOn's father was
killed in a recountre in this city before the
war. Doyle was arrested and held for ex-
animation.

Fruits and Tobacco Plants Killed in
Some Localities and Wheat injured.
LOUISVILLE, April 20.-RepOrts to the
COmier-JOwnGI from all parts Of the
State say that great damage was done to
fruit and tobacco plants by the unseason-
able frost and snow of last week. Last
season was very bad for tobacco growers in
Kentucky, and much destitutiOn has fol-
lowed in consequence. Another bad sea-
son, which seems now probable, will
greatly increase the suffering. Other crops
seem not to be greatly damaged.
CLEVELAND, o., April 20.-The cold
weather of the past few days has done
great damage to the fruit throughout
this section. Peaches are reported nearly
all killed, and apples suffer considerably.
Wheat is injured but slightly.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 20.-AccOunts
from the country along the coast in his
vicinity represent great damage to sea
island cotton and early fruits and yegeta-
bles b. the recent frOsts.
Special to the Cincinnati Times.
WAsHIGTON, April l9.-FrOm the best
information collected at Baltimore the
present unusually cold weather has not in
iured the great fruit crop of the Southern
peninsula of Delaware and Maryland.
The previous cold had kept fruit trees
back, and tbs it is believed has saved
them during the present freeze.
About Norfolk, where the vegetation was
further advanced, the damage has been
considerable.
NEW ALBANY, IND, April 19.-The
fruit crop in Southern Indiana is killed by
the late freeze. The orchards in the high
lands do not escape.
Chattanooga Commercial, April 20.
KNOXVILLE, April 19.-The frost has
wrought wholesale destruction with the
fruit in all this section of the country. II
would scarcely be an exaggeration to say
that there is not an apple, peach, plum
pear, cherry or strawberry left anywhere
within forty miles Of Knoxville. The
ridges have suffered equally with the val
leys. 1t is feared that early wheat is alsC
injured. The timber will have to begin
anew and bud out again.

questeds

Secretary DeIanO's Resignation Re
qUested.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April IA private let
ter from Mt. Vernon, o., brings infOrma-
ton that some OF the intimate friends Of
Secretary Delano and Assistant Secretary
Cogen have been advised from Washing
ton that the President, before he left, nnti-
fed Mr., Delano that his resignation was
desired, and would be accepted. The
reasons assigned by those having cOntiden-
tial relations with the Secretary in the De
partment of the Interior were that John
Delano had been detected in some 5orrupt
transactions so connected with the business
of the Office that the Secretary must have
become aware Of them. All the papers in
the case were placed in the hands OF the
President by paIties in New York, VINO
had been deliberately blsckmailed In con-
nection with certain contracts. The letter
further states tn the Secretary claims to
confidential friends in his office that he
was in no sense a party TO the transactions
of his son. On the other hand the New
York parties claim that the proof is con-
elusive that he must have full knowledge,
aud that the President so regarded it, and
on that account asked for the resignation
to take effect within two weeks.
The points in the letter above referred to
having been repeated here TO the friends
Of Assistant Secretary COwen, it is aScer-
tained that the main features are true, and
that Gen. Cowen has been consulted In re-
gard to succeeding Secretary DelanO.
There has been an effort made by John
DeIano, and influential parties working
witty him, to conceal the real reasons Tor
the Secretary's retiring, but under the Cir
Cumstauces Gen. Cowen cannot become a
party to any such arrangement.
The matter first became known among
prominent officials in the Interior Depart
ment, outside the SecretaTy's office, to-day,
and has formed a matter Of most earnest
caucussing among them. Pie stir among
those connected with the Indian office, and
the Office of the Solicitor, is particularly
noticeable.
