Mr.. Thomas B. Connery, of the New York
Rer0ld, was before Mr.. Clymer's committee
yesterday. and declined TO answer certain
queries touching Detective Bell, on the
ground that the information required would
expose the secrets of the Herald, and IL was
bad policy TO divulge the sources of informa-
ton gained In confidence, because such a
policy would defeat a good many Congress
sioDal Investigations" Similar excuses have
heretofore proved wholly unavailing with
Congressional committees. Why did not the
committee require Mr.. Connery to answer?
Mr.. Danford, who expressed the opinion of
the committee, said the object OF their exam
tna;ion was TO test the veracity OF Bell, but
the matter was not OF sufficient consequence
TO take mp the further time OF the committee
To most people IL would seem that any testi-
mony going TO show the character OF Bell.
who has made such serious allegations
against prominent officials, is of the hi CHEST
importance. Do the committee fear to incur
the wrath OF the Herald, or do they desire
Bells testimony to remain unimpeached?
Which?

They proceeded quietly to the jail, and,
overpowering the officers, took therefrcm
Rufus Estept and John Dlwson, who mur-
dered Thomas Lee about four weeks since.
While this was going on colored speaker
addressed large crowd Of negroes, and with
frantic cries they rushed for the jail and took

the colorcd man Dooley to-day. All three
murderers were taken to CanpbeIls creek
bridge, the scene of toe murder Of Lee, and
about three miles fr"m here, where all three
are doubtless now baugirg dead.
The crowd was sober and determined.
The fact that no less than five murderers
were lying in jail with little prospect of a
trial, and the further rumor Of troops being
teleeraphed for from Washington, caused
tais speedy punishment Of these murderers.

WATER FOR ELEvATlNG PURPosEs.-At the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen held on
Monday evening Mr.. W. G. Darlington pre-.
sented a communication from Messrs. A. L..
Elicit & Co. bringing to the consideration OF
the two branches Of the City Council the
question ofsupplying water by the city for ell
eyaling purposes. The memorialists say they
would like to avail themselves Of such power
could it be obtained at reasonable cost, and
they baye little doubt it would be used to
considerable extent for mercantile and man
uf,c,uring purposes if the cost would justify.
The subject was referred to the Committee
on Water
