Death in the Gam bling Room.

1t is really difficult to understand why the
death yesterday of tho soi-disant detective
Molloy by the hand Of the gambler Allen
should have made the impression that it has
upon the public mind. There was nothing
in the life of either of them to give him any
claim upon the attention of any one. except
the police officer, who was, of course, blind
until blindness became an impossibiity.
The notifying thing about the affair
for respectable citizens is that the
alleged murderer of to-day was but yester-
day leading politician who welded con-
siderable influence, whom candidates for
Office, from the lowest to the highest, found
it expedient to consult. 1t was only few
weeks ago that he bore prominent part In
State conventions; was the recognized
leader of considerable portion Of our
voters; loud in his professions of reform and
in denunciation of existing political sys-
TENS. That he should have. held such
position is not, perhaps, strange to those
who know the depth of baseness i'll which
our lower politics are sunk, but 1t Will
be wonder and mystery to the
better portion of the community. The cir
cumstances surrounding the crime are ex-
ceedingly peculiar Allen says that no one
witnessed the deed and that it was an sac
cident." The deceased, he declares, was
his "best friend" which is probably true
1t is the best friends of such men who al
ways suffer. Altogether the case is an in
teresting one for the police and the law
officers, and it is to be hoped every effort
will be made to bring all the facts to light
and if great crime has been committed to
properly punish the perpetrator

The staten Island Horror.

The mystery enshrouding the horrifying
discovery at Staten Island seemed yesterday
in fair way OF being dispelled, but to-day
it appears as great az ever. The peculiar
nature of the evidence volunteered by the
young man who thought he had identified
ehe remains Of the unfortunate woman was
of itself enough to carry conviction
with it, for no man, even when ABB
solutely sure Of the identity Of the
body concerning which he testified, could
easily prevail upon himself to make such q
statement in public, and thus fasten upon
himself notoriety from which even time
itself could never release him; but he now
proves to have been mistaken as TO identity
Ellen Murphy is indeed dead, and the man
ner of her death was such as he anticipated.
The anonymous note received by the
Coroner and published to-day may lead
to the discovery of the dead woman's true
name and antecedents, but these will be the
least important facts OF tho case What
Justice and the public will want
to know is the name and whereabouts
of the being who gave such brutal
vet such careful burial to the unfortunate.
No ordinary murderer or depravcd person
would have thought of surrounding the
body with disinfectants besides. the pecu-
liar condition Of maternity in which tho
woman is proved to have died points un-
erringly toward n class Of persons who, in
spite OF being utterly heartless and vile,
have surgical intelligence of q certain
order which they employ in the work of
removing restraint from immoral practices.
1t is to be hoped that the truth will yet be
discovered and the prison or the gallows
receive its due.

The Creedmoor Meeting.

The large attendance OF riiiemen at the
opening Of the fall meeting on the Creed
moor range yesterday shows how deep
hold the manly and fascinating amuse-
ment of craftsmanship has upon the
present generation. In addition to our
own State and New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island were
well represented, and at the contests
which are yet to come the other
sections of the country will appear through
their best rihemen. The only thing to be
regretted in connection with the meeting
yesterday was the failure of the general
public to be present. Their neglect to
attend was of course owing entirely to the
fact that the absence of foreign competitors
this year had, in great N measure,
robbed the event of half it's i'm
portanco and Smade it comparatively
tame and unattractive. This, to say
the least, is not the kind of treatment our
riAemen have the right to expect. Our in
terstate contests, such as took place yester-
day, ought to awaken as keen an interest as
competition between our own countrymen
and those of other nationalities. 1t is only
in this way that the spirit of emulation can
be aroused and that we shall as q people
continue to hold the place we have won as
the first marksmen in the world.

TnE MIATnEn.-thc western depression has
made very little progress eastward during the
last twenty-iour hours, but the area of it's in-
flucnco s gradually extending itself and is now
as far sonth as the Lower Missouri Valley. AS
stated in yesterdays HERALD the probabilities
are very slight that district will be affected
by the depression. because tie high area that
continues on tho Middle Atlantic and New Eng
land coasts tends 10 turn IL TO the northeast.
Its probable path will bo over the lake regions
90 the 1T. Lawrence Valley and thence through
the valley To the Atlantic at Nova Scotia. OF
course during its passage to the north of our
districts coudy weather will generally prevail.
The pressure is high on the Atlantic coast from
Nova Scotia to Florida. II is also relatively
high in the Central Valley and Gulf districts
and the Northwest. There have been light
rains on the eastern margin of the depression,
which il over the eastern section of the
lake regions and on the Gulf coast.
Fair weather generally prevails in all the dis
tricts east of the Mississippi River. Morning
iogs continue in the Ohio Valley and on the
Middle Atlantic coast. The winds have been
brisk in the lake regions, fresh On the Atlantic
coast and elsewhere light. a slight fall In tenn
pcratures has taken place in the lake regions
nnd the Middle Atlantic and New England
States In tho other districts there has been n
general rise The weather in New York and
its vicinity to-day will be warm and partly
cloudy, probably with fresh to brisk winds. To-
morrow 1t promises to be warm and fair, fol-
lowed by increasing cloudncss.
