Dreadful Murder-Ths Constabulary of
Cloughjordan and adjoining districts re-
ceived information Of dreadful murder
having been committed at Lackamore, q
place situated few miles from Nenagh.
The victim is a respectable farmer, aged
twenty-eight, named Martin German. He
was beaten to death near his own house.
Immediately ON the news of the murder be-
coming known the police proceeded to the
spot, and from inquiries they arrested all
other farmer named Thomas Casey. They
also proceeded to the house Of JAS Noonan
against whom they procured evidence, but
he had decamped, and has not yet been ar
rested. At the coroner's inquest verdict
OF willfui murder was returned against
some person or persons unknown. The
cause of the murder is not generally known,
but it is believed to be the result Of a party
quarrel, having its origin in dispute about
land The deceased Martin German, who
rented large farm, was drinking in New
port with two other men. One of the latter
had bought a new spade in the village, and,
having drank pretty freely, the three men
left for home after dark. Nothing further
was seen of German until about half-past
eleven o'clock at night, when the constabu-
larry patrol discovered his body lying ON the
roadside about half mile from the village
of Newport. The remains presented shock
ing spectacle, the upper portion of the skull
of the deceased being completely severed
from the body, evidently with some sharp
instrument. Life had been to all appear
ances, extinct for some hours. The constab-
ulary lost no time in obtaining clue as to
who had been in Gorman's company during
the day, and early in the morning they sue
ceeded in arresting one of the men who had
been in his company when he left Newport
for home. The other man who purchased
the spade has not been apprehended, but the
Ppolice are confident that they will make
him amenable, having got some important
information with regard to his where

and Walnut and Main streets, by which two
men were seriously injured.
Mr.. kattenborn has recently torn down
his house on the upper side Of Ninth street,
two doors west of the above-named alley,
preparatory to erecting a new building.
; Most of the foundation of the rear and
last walls were about ready, while the house
on the west, belonging to Mr.. Wettergel, and
Mr. Fosters stable, adjoining the Bevis
House in the rear, were still being proppcd
up.
AT the above named hour a large number
of laborers were engaged at work in the
cellar of Kattonborn's house, when the
walls OF the stable gave way with fearful
crash, buryins three of the men in the
ruins
The wall was so constructed that the
lower half bulged out several feet from a
plumb line, and in the fall the upper half
lodged in the stable, luckily without injur-
ing any one.

lar were named Michael Granuhan, q labor

of the matter Oh Saturday justities the state
ment that unless something unforeseen oc-
ours, or the appropriation bills are retarded,
the resolution will be adopted and Congress
will adjourn on the day fixed by the Sen
ate. Mr.. Wood, however, entertains diff
ferent opinion, and is firm in the belief that
he will be able to press his tariff bill.
