country near Kcllswatcr some OF
the passengers saw Il man running

Presently he halted, presented his
piece and fired, when down fell
another man standing ut few

this poor creature prone on
the ground than tho mis-
croant with the gun proceeded to
bolahor his victim over the head and

tion without the possibility Of in ,
tcrtercncc, AS soon as they reached
the next station a body OF ..lom
rushed to tho telegraph wires, and
in few minutes the police autholi-
ties were set on tho track of the
supposed murderer. Great was the
alarm throughout tho entire dis
trict, and especially at Belfast,
owing to the fatal occurrence having

The Republican Nomination.

1t IN becoming quito an interest,"
ing problem to dctcrmininc who
will receive the Republican nomina
ton for governor. AS is well
known, it has been for some months
past the effort Of Governor Chamber
lain to pursue such u course ns to
bring to his support nll tho elc-
ments Of the Republican party, and
at the same timo do nothing to
weaken himself with those of the
Democrats who thought it unwiso
to make nomination. There was
wisdom in such coursc. The
support given him by the Demo
Gratis, strong Es it has ever been,
was Justly but negative and con-
tingcnt, and he had to look else
where for strength sufficient to
enable him to DO elected again. In
thus looking about him he must
have seen that "the better clements
of tho party wero few, weak
and unreliable, and there was need
Of somo stroke of policy to strength
en- him. The onmity Of Elliott and
his friends, particularly shown in
tho formers failure to call the Re
publican State Convention Mt tho
usual time, had to be mot and it's
etleG' counterbalanced in somo way.
With this view, tho Governor did

THE SCHENCK INVESTIGATION
From our Washington dispatches we
learn that General Schenck was again
before the House Committee, and his
original letter of resignation and the
copy were produced. The former was
identified as his own production and
handwriting from beginning to end.
The copy was entirely by Park. The
examination of Schenck was here sus-
pended and Conkling took the stand.
It will be remembered that Lyon had
testified and in a letter to a friend had
stated that Conkling had been EN-
ployed to assist in the prosecution OF
the case and aid in procuring the re-
moval II Judge Mexican. This state
ment Conkling contradictsd in toto.
Lyon was present and asked permits
sion to explain. His explanation con
sisted in naming an alleged informant,
VIM. Head, of San Francisco. BY
Head. he said, he had been told that
Conkling was employed. This again
Conkling positively contradicted.
Moreover, Lyon had swoam, not to
Heads statements, but of his own
knowledge. His explanation is very
thin. We incline to the belief that
Lyon was lynn.
