Democrats aud make 1t the occa-
sien for larger demands from the
other side, and that unde. no cir
cumstances would Mr. Tilden con-
sent to the offer or pay ment of
money, nor would he.
This is the substance of what oc.
Cured between us on that question. |
l have not the least idea that Mr..
Marble was insincere In his prompt
rejection Of the proposal, or that he
ever entered into negotiation with
any person having as its object and
end the purchase of n vote. So far
from 1t, as l know from associa-
tions with him, he had strong be-
lief that both Cowgirl and
McLin, especially the lat
ter, would ultimately so vote
as to cause the right to pre-
vail. 1 myself had some faith In
Cowgirl, but none in McLin. Mr..
Marble had faith in both. He
thought these persons knew, be.
yond any reasonable doubt, that
the Democrats had fairly elected
their State ticket and given q
small majority to the Tilden elec-
tors, even after counting for Hayes
all the fraudulent votes claimed as
having been cast for him, and that
their sense Of justice would finally
triumph over party prejudice and
passion. He held to this view un-
til, in the informal count, the true
return from Baker county was at
tempted to be concealed and q
fraudulent one substituted for 1t.
This tended TO open his eyes to the
intensely partizan character of the
Republicans on the Board, and sat
isfied him that little was to be
hoped for from their sense of honor
or Justice if that act was to be taken
as an indication of their feelings
and purpose.

tanned, or which failed to be com

possibly have been any ground fol
a bargain beyond q mere surmise
that a vote was purchasable, and
the first suggestion as to that

came from me, as already said. l

money with the member of the
Board whose vote was to be pur.
chased.
If the 7ribune's dispatches are
genuine and have been correctly
translated, any "bargain" they in
innate was based on o vague idea
that vote was purchasable If the
money was forthcoming-only that
and nothing more. II there had
been "a bargain" as the 7ribun
asserts was the case, some of us here
would have known of it, whereas
the first intimation we got of any.

dispatches.

Especial Dispatch to the World.l
THOMPSON, Pa, November let
The terrible story told In the World
of to-day of the reported murder Of
q school mistress in this vicinity is
extremely hard to verify. Every.
body in this mountain hamlet has
been talking for week about such
a murder, but no one seems to know
what the teachers name was,
where sho taught school or where
she lived. AS many as five distinct
and widely, separated school dis
tricts have been named to me as
the scene of the tragedy. A close
cross-examination Of two.score OF
villagers and farmers has resulted
in nothing that can be depended
upon to establish the truth of the
assertion that Alice Kennett was
murdered by two tramps here OF
last Friday. have just inter.
viewed Justice of the Peace Giles
Lewis and Constable Van Horn
and they both say that such q
brutal outrage could not occur in
this township and be covered up 80
completely and mysteriously. I
have talked to railroad men on the
Erie line from Jersey City to this
village and mono of them knew OF
such an affair and had never heard
of it until they read Of 1t in New
York newspapers. Constable Van
Horn thinks the scene OF the trag-
sdy was in Wayne County. Justice
Lewis thinks the murder must have
been committed at Priest Williams
old red school-house, nine miles
north Of here. Though the Justice
is supposed to know everybody in
this corner of Pennsylvania, he says
he does not know of any family
named Kennett nor of any school,
mistress of that name, and he has
known all the school-teache of
this vicinity for the past fifty years.
Constable Van Horn, who is the
only hotsl-keeper here, and who
has the most direct interest in the
circulation Of the story, says the
story of the school mistress being
outraged and murdered and having
her tongue cut out by tramps is an
old one, he having heard 1t first
early last Summer. 1t has come to
be regarded as smart joke among
country louts and village loungers
to repeat 1t with great assumed
seriousness to all credulous strang.

WHAT between suicides aud mi
ders the Pacific Coast is earning an
unenviable reputation at time
when 1t was thought that the old
impulse Of lawlessness had begun
to yield to the gentle manners
which are q demand of the finer
modern civilization. Suicide is
perhaps a crime growing out Of a
high state of civilization. Plato
has philosophical and Cato solilo.
quiz I'd upon it, the latter putting
bis theories into practice. Paris,
perhaps the most civilized of all
great cities, has achieved q bad
pre-eminence in the number of her
suicides. She is fully rivaled by
San Francisco, however. In fact,
the Golden Gate, in the ratio of
her population, cln boast of more
suicides than any other city on the
globe. Perhaps it is the "ozone"

to self murder Notwithstanding
the disparity in populations of New
York and San Francisco, we be-
lieve that the latter city has the
more murders and suicides OF the
two. We have a dreamy sort of
impression that we have lately had
to read the details of about two sui
cldes day in tho Golden Gate,
aud they have not been extra good
days, either, while the murders
have been absolutely portentous in
number and atrocious in details.
Time was when the town of Los
Angeles was regarded as special
ly lawless place, and when it was
expected that at least one man a
day would be served up for break
fast here. We have got bravely
over that stage now, and we doubt
II there is more law-abiding city
on the continent than our own.
Even we have had a mum Der of
sensational suicides, but of late we
do not cultivate self destruction as
q fine art.

WE do not think that any fair

WE do not think that any fair
minded Engllshman can resist the
ooncluslon Of Gladstone that the
ssbrlght little, tight little isle" has
too many irons in the fire. 1t is all
very well for ephemera to sport in
the sunshine Of the hour. but the
day OF clouds is certain to come for
Great Britain. To our apprecia-
tIon events are marshaling them
selves with a grim precision that
docs not justify the jaunty conf
dence of Lord Beaconsflsld. Indus
trial and commercial complica-
tions further involve problems
which the English premier left
very black for England when he
returned 80 confidently from the
Berlin conference. Suppose, for in
stance, that the English expedi-
tion from England to Cabul sh ould
encounter disaster, as such an ex-
petition did once before? Suppose
that, when the head of the British
columns entered the Khyber pass,
Russian volunteers should be found
In large numbers as auxiliaries to
the crude Afghanistan valor? A de-
cisive British reverse at this stage Of
International matters would sim.
ply prove one in long series OF
disasters. 1t would be o fateful
thing, with the Indian rebellion
scarcely twenty years old, for a
British expeditionary force to be
hurled back on India defeated by
the Afghans. Lord Beaconstield
relies upon the friendship of Rus
sla! We are afraid that this reli-
ance would prove one Of the frail-
est OF breakable reeds. England is
to-day postnrizing as an aggressor
in too many quarters of the world
for that peace which is an essen
tial to the prosperity of English
trade and manufactures; and, we
might add, to the prestige OF Eng.
land as first-class power. We are
much mistaken, or the day upon
which England enters extensively
into war with foreign powers will
demonstrate that she is largely q
mere shell. OF course we hold our
selves ready for correction by the
event. but we think that Glad
stone elbows his wisdom in desir.
ing that his countrymen should not
coart the issue.

with the murder of Mrs. Anna

commenced in the Police Court to-
day. Sullivan asked till 2 P. NJ. 10

showing that Sullivan had been
twice an inmate of the Asylum

and once from Sacramento in 1874.

the bloody clothing found near the
scene of the murder. as having
been worn by Sullivan before,
Richard Barry, the husband of the
murdered woman, identified as his
own the clothing recovered from
the secondhand shops by the ON

been heard of-that of two boys,
who, it is said. saw Sullivan in the
brush near Barry's house with a

The boys will be brought into court
to establish by witnesses the
