THE LANGMAID MURDER.
Tramps Arrested ON Suspicion.

AEhmpS AEfCstc0 On SuSPACaOus
CONCORD, Oct. 15-Detective Sargent aud
Capt. Prescott went to Pittsfeld to-day and
saw the tramp arrested there this morning on
suspicion of being the man seen lurking about
the woods near the scene of the Pembroke TIA
gedy. He was recognized by Prescott as the
man from Manchester, disspated character.
The officers express the opinion that he is in no
way connected with the crime He mas not yet
been released.
A tramp applied for lodging at the police STA
ton here tonight, and upon being examined
his vest was found to be stained with blood upon
the front and upon the neck behind. He gave
his name as White but letter found upon his
person indicated that his name is Peter Gala
nan. He was ugly and reticent, and gave no
account of himself.
La Page Much Depressed.
La Page, who is still in Jail here, is in very
depressed condition Of mind, and has eaten but
once since he was takeu in custody. He has
not been examined to-day, but this morning he
expressed desire to see Frenchman, which
wish will probably be complied with to-mor-
row.
La Page Suspected of the Murder of Ma
rietfa Ball.
ST. ALBANs, Vt, Oct. 15.-Joseph La Page,
the Frenchman in Concord Jail on suspicion of
numbering Josie Langmaid, is becoming more
strongly suspected ir well informed circles here
of having murdered the young school teacher,
Marietta N. Ball, on st. Adams East Hill, July
~ 1874. lie was tnon living aDout mile and
quarter north of the scene of that murder,
and much nearer Miss Balls boarding place,
He was arrested not because any particular sus-
picion was attached to him, but because nearly
every one in that neighborhood was subjected
to an examination. He testified that he was at
work upon his land that day, and as no one
seemed to know to the contrary his examina-
ton was very slight and he was disch arged. 1t
has since been ascertained that he was ber
ryipg and not at work on the day of the MUIR
der, which shows that he testified falsely and
renders it possible for him to have been gone
long enough to commit the murder without any
suspicion. Attaching to this absence is cir
cumstance now considered important against
him. He went to Suncook last spring with his
family

The debate between Messrs. Jones and
Niece, and their assistants, which took
place at the United States signal service
rooms Wednesday night, was very good,
though it might have been much better
on both sides. Mr.. Lawrence Smith,
who was on the programme for an essay,
from some cause was not present, and
the next proceeding, an oration by Mr..
John Oswald, was called for. MIR. Oswald
took the floor, and in few but very de-
cisive words proved to the audience very
clearly the benefits derived from the
unions now existing among nearly every
class of working men in this country, as
well as in England. A movement was
made at this meeting, TO consolidate the

with that of the Young Mems Debating
Club, but whether the consolidation will
be effected. is as yet unknown.
The next meeting Of the club will take
place on Wednesday night, when the
question, ''Resolved, That intemperancc
produces more misery than war;" will be
discussed. with Mr.. John Hacker, assisted
by Mr.. William McGec, in the affirmative,
and Louis Shnckers, assisted by Mr.. John
Oswald, in the negative. Beside the de-
bate, numerous other literary exercises
consisting of select reading by Mr.. Frank
