THE DEXTER TRAGEDY.
THE TOWN FULL OF RUMOR.
UufOunded RumOrs--Bank Officers will
Tell Nothing.

DEXTER, January 29. Dexter is full of ru-
mors concerning fresh discoveries in relation
to the murder Of ]. w. Barron. There is ev-
identity some clue obtained on which satisfac-
tory results are confidently expected
The bank officers say there is nothing to be
make public at the present time, and the stor-
les published are unauthorized.
Another despatch says Dexter is full of ru-
mors regarding the discovery of the Barron
murderer, but there is nothing tangible. The
officers of the bank say there is nothing to be
said about it at present. They will give ear
ly information when publication is prudent
Another despatch is as follows: Regard
ing the developments of the Barron murder,
an excited community have given currency to
the widest rumors. These have spread to
other places, and have been picked up by the
papers.
Detectives have been in Dexter lately, in
consultation with County Attorney Hodgkins,
and from this little spark great fire has been
kndled.
Rumor has said the real murderer has been
found to be prominent citizen of Dexter;
also that certain bond, the former property
of Mr. Barron, had led to this discovery
These rumors are pronounced by good au-
thority, to be entirely unfounded.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
More Cipher Business

WASHINGTON, January 20. At the session
of the Potter Committee, N. T. Waterman.
assistant chief of the warrant division of the
treasury, stated that in 1876 he attended in
the Morton committee room two days, ex-
aiming Oregon cipher dispatches. He re-
c0gnized several in the Tribune. Knew
nothing of the Florida dispatches.
The second assistant postmaster, General
Brady, was recalled.
lie announced his desire TO present the
kilograms referred to in his examination
yesterday, whereupon he gave them to the
chairman in the order in which they were
sent.
The kilograms translated read rs follows
Tallahassee, Fla, December /.
To John Wing, Washington, ID. c.:
Florida will go for Hayes.
(SignedD BRADY.
Washington, d. C.
To Gen. Brady, Tallahassee, Fla:
In trouble. l speak advisedly. Have no
other fears.
(Signed JAMES N. TYSER.
Washington, ID. {.
TO Gen. Brady, Tallahassee:
Reliable information here says the demo-
Gratis claim two of the Florida returning
board. DO you believe it?
(Signed) WING.
Tallahassee, Florida.
To John Wing, Washington
We have no intimation of treachery, ex-
cept on the part ON one Of our own number.
If we come to grief it is through him, the
New Yorker. We are advised THAI he re-
commends contrary to our interests. His
many and mysterious interviews arouse sus-
pici0n.
(Signed) BRADY.
Chairman-Who was meant by the New
Yorker?
Answer-General Barlow.
Several other kilograms were read, but
contained no significance the last one relat-
ing to the conclusion of the count, and stat
ing that the State had gone for Hayes.
1t trsnspired under cross examination that
John Wing was fictitious for Tyncr, and that
it was arranged previous to the witnesses de-
parture, that kilograms should be SO addressed
and the cipher used was also arranged before
they left Washington. His cipher had been
destroyed and he presumed Tyner had de-
stroyed his copy.
First assistant postmaster general Tyner
was then sworn.
He had recently been informed by Brady
that the committee was about examining into
cipher kilograms, and feared that as they had
been once in his possession, would lead to
mis- construction, and probably mix him
BRADY in the affair
Tyner then desired to say q word regarding
the testimony of the Western Union officials,
Messrs. Green, Cary and Grant
The testimony of Green that kilograms
passed between himself and John w. Foster
concerning the sale of certain Offices, and
between himself and Zach Chandler regard
ing the appointment of Indian agents had no
warrant whatever in their contents.
The idea Of Cary that the kilograms in
question related to dirty piece Of political
engineering was erroneous. He would verify
this by producing all of this kilograms sent
by him bearing upon the subject under inves-
tigation.

that it is not valid as some signed without abe

ing promises to be spirited, many eminent

We are panied to announce the death, last
evening, at eight o'clock, Of the wife Of the
Hon. James w. Bradbury. She had been
somewhat i'll for several weeks, but the fatal
termination of her illness. we understand,
was entirely unlocked for. The disease was
paralysis Of the heart. She was a Chris
tisn lady, whose works of benevolence and
philanthrophy will cause her memory to be
cherished in many hearts in this community
where she has so long lived to bless not only
her devoted household, where indeed she
was true wife and mother, but all who have
come within the circle of her wide influence.

THE CHINESE.
The immigration Question.

NV YORK, January 20. The Chinese
minister refused to be interviewed on the
anti-C Chinese bill
Mr.. kennedy, agent of the Chinese COM
panies, says the Chinese minister will not
borrow any trouble about the matter, as the
treaty is of American conception and there
will not be much trouble in abrogating as
originally enforcing it. The United States
has as much right to prevent Chinese immi-
grafton into San francisco as the Cenesc
have to forbid future introduction into the
Chinese ports of SO, 500 barrels of flour per
annum now shipped from California.
