He then applied handkerchief saturated with
choroform TO her face, and she fell to the ground
striking her head on stone. The robber escaped
with S25, but did not get the bracelets.
Mrs. Fullers wrists were bruised, and she Is snt-

ACCIDENT TO TIE HON. $. D. CHI1TENDEM

The friends of the Hon. Simeon b. Chittenden,
member of Congress from Brooklyn and WELL
known retired merchant Of this city, were much
alarmed yesterday by hearing that he had been
thrown from carriage in Connecticut and danger
ousy injured. Upon inquiry OF his son, Simeon Is.
Chittenden, IT,, they learned that he had met with
an accident but one fortunately not OF serious
nature. Mr.. Chit;endcn, ST., had been for several
davs mast at his country residence at GullfOrd,
Conn. On Thursday last while out driving his
horse became frightened and ran away; the car
rigqc was upset and Mr.. Chittenden was thrown
VIOLENTLY into the road. he received severe iruises
on the face arms and legs. As Mr.. Cbttenden Is
over sixty years Old II at first feared that tho
shock itself might cause serious consequences, Ouo
none have vet been observed by the attending
physician. Mr. Chttenden has already recovered
from his injuries sufficiently to think OF coming 10
the city, and would have come here yesterday buo
for slight lamencss that still remained. HIS lulu-
res were of painful nature, but not dangerous, US
at first represented.

AFFAIRS IN THE SISTER REPUBLIC.

THE PosTPoNEMENT OF THE FxHIBI1oN-THE 20
LrICAL SITUATION.
Senior AyOn who is n prominent lawyer as well as
q member of the Mexican House of Representatives..
returns to Mexico Saturday after brief visit to
this country. He was educated in California, and
took leading part in the reception Of
the American Deputaton which visited tho
Mexican Capital last January. In regard TO
the proposed International Exhibition Sefior
Avon explains that it was postponed owing TO
the lack of time to prepare for it, The great inter-
est which the project aroused at home and abroad
exceeded the expectations Of the Governmentand it
was found that eleven months would be inadequate
to put up suitable building and properly classify
the exhibits. When the people supposed that tho
Government was about to postpone the project from
want of money, they came forward readily with
offers of financial aid. The Mexican people are.
however. fully impressed with the advan-
tages which would accrue from an Exhibition, and
are resolved as soon as the Presidential election
next l. ms TO yS nations n insure pen
did and yoried display. Regarding the political sit
nation Senor Avon says the interior Is tranquil
The Journals OF all shades of opinion are emphatic
Abandoned and reforms effected only by peaceful
means. The recent demonstration Oh the part OF
General NegTete amounted 10 nothing. lie has no f0l-
lowers and retired from public view as soon as no
had issued his manifesto denouncing the GOyern-
ment. The Presidential election impars additional
interest 70 politics. There are great many candt-
dates In the field. Ii is probable that all may unto
on President DIaz, whose honesty, patriotism and
administrative ability are generally recognized.
The one term principle has been engraited IN the
constitution but it il questioned If the amendment
applies to President DIaz, who came into power
after the regular term had begun.
Referring to the recent session OF the Mexican
Congress, Senior AVON says smuggling aud contra
band trade occupied the attention OF the House,
which passed an act making evasions of the reye-
nue. laws penal offence. This was an experimental
measure and when Congress reassembee IN Sep
TENDER it will be rccOnsidered. The tarih was not
disturbed but it was felt that 1t needs amendmen6
In some respects.
Public sentiment in regard to this country, Senior
Avon saws is friendly. The MeXIcan people desire
the friendest relations with the American people:
Tie disturbances on the border have subsidized aud
never should have been allowed TO disturb the con-
cord between the two nations. They were occa>
stoned chiefly by bad people of both countries who
gath cred in that quarter.
Senior Avon finds that Americans are cyincing
greater interest in Mexican enterprises, especially
in regard TO the mineral wealth OF the country,
which he considers will abundautly repay those who
engage in its development. He intends 90 return
later in the year and deliver some public addresses
on the resources OF the sister republic.

THE SEYMOUR HOMICIDE.
THE WORK OF The POLICE.

vur OFFICERS STILL UNDECIDED AS TO WHETHER
THE SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL OR WITH MUIR
DFROUs INTENT.
The person who fred the shot by which
John F. Seymour was killed on Thursday nlght
has not been found, but the police believe they
have found clew which may lead to his dlscov-
ery. The woman and young man who were
seen coming from the Seminary grounds some
time that evening, have reported to the police
who seem satisfied with their explanations.
An injury to Mr. Seymour's face was discov-
cred. hut it is thought to have been caused
bv his fall after he was shot.
