What the People are Interested In.

II is always instructive To watch the course
OF the circulation of TIE Sun. There is no
better test Of the comparative interest in
public events than that afforded by tine little
table we print at the head OF these columns
on Sunday and Monday mornings.
1t Is strange that it should be So and yet
since the last Presidential election nothing
has so much or SO continuously Interested
the people OF this vicinity as tho walking
match at Gilmorc's Garden. During its
progress it was talked about in every house.
in the cars, and in the streets. Yet such a
match as that In which O'LEARY, RowELL,
HARTMAN, and ENNIS engaged would seem
to Offer few points OF excitement for the mass
Of our people.
Still the circulation Of THE Sun, which
on Monday was los O5i on Tuesday, the day
after the opening Of the match. rose to
ia jGs. aud on Wednesday reached 22,37l,
and thereafter continued TO rise until on sat
urday It was $4,000. and ON Sunday 1iG,7s5.
Yet there is no more one-sided test Of gen
eral physical ability than that afforded by
such match as that at Gilmoro's Garden.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
The Mysterious Way In which Harry Bald
win Came 20 his Death.

CINCINNATI, March Hilary Baldwin.
who was fatally shot between II and o'clock
yesterday morning under peculiar and mys-
FERROUS circumstances, was the son OF Ammi
Baldwin cashier Of the Third National Bank OF
this city. and was himself the agent OF the
Michigan Life Insurance Company. He got
back from business trip to Southern Indiana
at about 10 o'clock on Saturday night. and he
on his way TO his home when he received
his death wound. At about l o'clock yesterday
morning William Schaller. Jacob Dorse J. L.
Hahn. Fidelle Bader and William Schmudde n
party OF well-to-do German roysterers who
were celebrating Dorses birthday. came out OF
a house in Elm street. all well under the influ-
ence Of liquor. They walked up Elm street a
few yards and Schaller. who is a memher Of
the brewing firm Of Schaller * Gerke. drew u
revolver and discharged one chamber. rs he
says. In the air. The police were attracted by
the report OF the weapon and arrested him.
They took him toward the Central Police Sta.
ton, but upon his explaining that he had
merely fred the pistol in sport. and in consid-
GRAFTON OF the fact that he was a prominent
citizen. the weapon was returned him and he
was discharged from custody.
An hour later another offcer discovered a
wel-drrssed man leaning against the door OF
house near the spot whore Schaller fired the
pistol. The man was in q stuuor. AMI his cloth
ing was much disord"red. Four officers car
rird him 10 the Central Police station where
after cursory eXamination. he WIS pronoun ed
drunk. and was locked up IN Il cell. At about
o'clock Yesterday morning tho colored turnkey
Of the station became alarmed at the stcrtOrous
breathing Of the man. and summoned the Lieu
tenant in charge, who sent Tor physician.
When the medical man arrived he found that
the man was dying from the effects Of "A bullet
wound in the temple. and he also recognized
him rs his freud, Harry Baldwin. In fifteen
minutes he died.
The affair has caused the greatest excitement
throughout the city. Schaller was at once ar
rested and locked up on a charge of murder.
The pistol he claims to have fired is In the hands
OF the police. II carries thirty-two calihre ball,
while the one taken from the brain OF the dead
man Is OF twenty-five calibre. The fact that
block away. open and rined OF much OF its con-
tents. has raised the suspicion that some one
besides SchHller may have fired the fatal shot.
BALDWIN stood high in society and WIS married
only seven weeks ago To Hattie Nisewell. n
daughter Of VIM. Wisewell well known in New
York.

then read II in the newspapers, and asked Mr..

should draw 1000 from the fund, irrespective
OF the winner. Mr. O'Leary says; under

rs MIR. WHEELER TO BE REMOTEDq
Rumors that Mr. Cooper VIII Keep the Alb
sent Police CommIssIoner In once.

Mayor Cooper's omission to serve upon
Police Commissioner Wheeler copy OF the
charges that he has made against the Board Of
Police has caused considerable talk in political
circles. The Irving Hall Democrats say that
Mr.. Wheeler WIS not served because he was out
OF town by the Mayors permission. and that he
will receive a copy OF the Mayors letter when
he returns. They characterize as absurd the
rumor that the Mayor will not try to remove NJ
Whcoler. The Tammany and the Republican
leaders believe that Mr.. Wheeler is not to be re-
moved.
The Republicans say that he rendered great
service 10 Mayor Cooper in the conferences
which resulted In his nomination rs the Repub-
lican candidate. and that the Mayor Is too CRATE
tul 10 forget the service. Another reason given
for Mr.. WheeLcrs retention is the expressed
wish 81 the Republican leaders In this city. and
many Republican members OF Congress that he
he retained. One Of the influential men in that
party In this city says that Mr.. Wheeler has suf-
hcient influence with the Republican Aldermen
10 prevent the confirmation OF any Republican
nomination Tor Police Commissioner. and that
he will exert his power II he Is not renominated.
Mayor Cooper said yesterday that Mr.
Wheeler asked permission to 40 South, and
that he gave his consent In reply to the in
quiry whether Mr.. Wheeler would be served
with the letter upon his return. the Mayor said.
after some hesitation. that he preferred not to
answer that question. He made the same an

The Length of the E.tra Session.

Circumstances yet to be developed will
determine whether the special session Of
Congress- which meets to-day, will be long
or short.
The better opinion on the Democratic
side nclines TO pass the two bills sub
stantially as they were sent to the Senate
in tho closing days of the late Congress,
with n few amendments TO the Logis-
lative, Executive, and judicial bill not af-
fecting the principle at stake This form
will probably be adopted in order to
throw the responsibility on the Fraud
ulent President. If he be determined TO use
the veto. Should the repeal Of the obnoxious
election laws. the repeal of the jurors test
oath, and the forbidding Of the presence of
troops at the polls, be passed as separate
measures, it is probable Mr.. HAYES would
sign the last two and veto the first Thus
he would preserve all the partisan ma
chinery for carrying elections.
Abstractly there would DO little objection
TO the supervisors pure and simple, if the
law was administered with anything like
fairness. But the recent investigation OF
Mr.. DAvENPoRT's case shows how arbi-
trarily the power conferred on this class of
officers may be exercised without the least
protection TO the rights OF the citizen and
voter, and what influence these abuses may
exert on elections. No man ought To be
intrusted with the power Of arrest without
process, because it is forbidden by the Con-
stitution and is inlmical To liberty.
Every supervisor, marshal, general dep
uty, or special deputy has the authority
under the act OF February %, 1871, to make
"mstdRt arrest pihom process OF any per-
son who may offend him, or who may refuse
to "give aid and assistance to his com.
mands. with a penalty Of two years impris-
onment, three thousand dollars fine, and
the costs ofprosecution, in case Of conviction
by perjured testimony.
The effective method Of wiping out all
this Objectionable legislation is by passing
the bills as originally passed. and then
standing firmly on that ground. Then
we shall see II tho Fraudulent Presi-
dent will assume to veto appropriations fol
carrying on the Government, merely be-
cause Congress may see fit to adopt a mode
heretofore largely practlscd by the Republic
cans for repeating Objectionable sections o
the Revised Statutes.
