THE NEWPORT CITY CLERK HEARD
FRoM.-The family of the missing NewpOr:
city clerk, Mr.. Benjamin Marsh, have re-
ceived despatch from him dated Williams
port, Pa. He informed them that he was
"bound west" and that they must give up
all search for him. This goes to prove that
he is not insane, and that his motive for
leaving so mysteriOusly will be apparent
within the next fOrty-eight hours. The secret
investigation into his accounts, as admins
traitor and guardianship Of no less than
thirty-hve estates, is progressing, and the
result is awaited with PAINFUL SUSPENSE

THE LEADING DEMOCRATS held several
conferences last night. One was at the house
of Mr. Hewett on New York avenue, where
the caucus committee of ten held council
until a late hour. Then there was a cOterie of
democrats assembled at the residence OF w.
W. CorcOran, esq. Still another council took
place AT the residence of Senator Thurman.
This cogitating so much would seem that the
politicians are awake To the fact that they
have heavy responsibilities ON their Shout
