Developments in the Jewett tragedy make the theory that Orville committed murder and suicide more certain. Thomas Jackson, janitor of the building, corroborates Charles Taintor' statement that he witnessed the shooting. He was Tn the room above when the explosion occurred, and rushing down saw through broken pane in the rear door of the office two bodies lying on the floor. In an instant four pistol shot were fired, whereupon he ran to the office and questioned him, but received no reply. The coroner is said to have discovered important evidence regarding the affair, but refuses to make it public.
 The Boston Herald publishes an article to the effect that there are grave suspicious the brig Roanoke, did not tell true story. His statement to Captain Carson, of the schooner that rescued him, were contradic. tory, and gave rise to the suspicion that the crew mutinied and probably murdered the captain and his followers and also. the pas. sengers, and that the vessel became unman ageable after they got possession. It does not seem consistent that the passengers would have deliberately drowned themselves while there was the least hope of being saved. In the safe, which was located in the cap. tain's cabin, were $50,000 in gold a sufficient incentive for an uprising of the crew. It is surmised that the crew drank freely of lager, and while drunk went below to get the con. tents of the safe, and had fight with the captain and sailors who remained faithful. This is based on the fact that Mcguire says that one of the crew, a Finn, threatened to shoot the captain, and the fact that one of the crew was found dead, with his upper lip cut of, when Mcguire was taken of by Capt. Carson. Mcguire said in explanation, that Finn got the pistol out of dozen that were lying about the cabin, and the dead man found on the wreck had his lip bit of in a fight with one of the crew on the twenty. sixth of March, Mcguire, when found, showed but little signs of exhaustion, a fact rather strange, in view of his claim that many of his comrades had died of exposure.

TRAMps IN THE PARKS.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
large part OF our population whose business re-
aures their attention at all OF the year would
ind great aud benefit after business hours aud
in the evenings OF our summer months by rcsorting
to those comparatively cool and neathfu breathing
places, Washington, Union and Madison squares; but
il iact impossible, because tho greater part oil
the benches arc constantly occupied. day and night,
by a horde Of loathsomc, vcrmin-covercd tramrs.
Now. II the Park commissioners would remove the
public benches these squares and give permits TO
suitable persons provide and let chairs ut liked rates
they would rid those parks OF the filthy horde
tramps VINO for the past two or three years have
monopolzod them, and restore hcm TO the OF rc-
spectacle people. If you would your influence to
effect such action by the Park Commissioners you
would have the gratitude Of many thousands.
