SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Aug. 7.-William Lew
IS, the colored man who was shot at the fair
grounds last night as noted III these dis
patches, died tonight about O'Clock. At
the Coroner's inquest it was developed that
there was a criminal intimacy between L. W.
Jamison, the man who done the shooting,
and Hattie Carpenter, the girl who lived in
the family, and whose attempted rape was
the pretense for the shooting.
Lewis knew of it, and had threatened to
have them arrested. Lewis made a dying
statement to the effect that he caught Jami-
son and the girl in improper relations, and
that she first attempted to shoot him, hut
failed, and Jamison took the revolver and
shot him. Jasnison and the girl Hattie Car
penter. were committed to iail on Coroner's
warrant charging them with murder. The
inquest will be concluded tomorrow Lewis,
whose real name is Fawcett, formerly lived
at Franklin, Ind. Ja1nison is from Ken

THE RAILROADS.

EASr-BOUSD FREIGHT BUSINESS.
There has been an incEeare Of about lo,o0o
tons in the east-bound freight business by
rail during the past week. Large as this in
crease is, it is not by any means what it
should be. considering that the vessel rates
have largely advanced; during the last week
or two,. which has helped the railroads ma
terially; and besides the new crops are be-
giuniug, to come forward. The cross-llnes
leading to the East have so much to do that
they are hardly able to take care OF all the
business that offers, and the Wabash and
some other lines are suffering from freight
blockades. The Western lines to this city
have also done a tolerahly good business.
Yet the roads east-six lineS-have carried
during the past week but 5000 tons
altogether, while they should have done over
double that amount 70 keep even Wlsn tno
roads leading east from St. Louis. Peoria. In
dianapolis. etc. This small business arises
from the disadvantages Lie eaSt-bound roads
are laboring under, owing to the rules OF the
east-bound pool, which. prevent them from
meeting the lake rates. Constqu. ntly most
Of the business that comes here goes East by
any means as conscientious in maintaining
regular rates as the .Chicasu roads. ~ Is
claimed, and apparcntlK with truth, that the
cross-lfnes are cutting rates, or give special
inducements to shippers, which Woula ac-
count in q measure for thq bulk of the
Western business going Via those lines. The
Chicago roads East arb all controlled by the
New York trunk lines, and therefore they
cannot meet the rates Of competing lines
without pern.ssion from ne trunhlihe 1lst ne
busint IS from the cross-llaes any way, and
receive their full proportions therefore, they
do not care -muchlwhether the Chicago lines
suffer or not; Not only will they not con

: DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION.


ST. LOUIS, No., arg. 7.--Considerable ex-
citenen has been created here to-day by the
filing OF IA petition charging members Of the
City Democratic Central Committee with
corruption in the management of the recent
primary elections, and the use of money in
securing the nomination Of certain candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket The petition
alleges that in furtherance Of 4 combination
and conspiracy large sums Of money were
placed in the hands of the parties to
the conspiracy to. aid its objects and
aims, and paid to the Committeeman to
secure ~the nomination of. several candi-
dates. In further;1i1ce of said combination
and. conspl acy the Central Comulittee
appointed an unsuitable time and place to
hold the elecrlon. and in many instances ull-
rupulous, unjust, and ignorant Judges and
clerks, who permitted persons who were not
entitled to vote at the electlon,to vote there
at, Uhd who counted pretended votes for
delegates which were not received by them
for the purpose oi carrying out the object
and aim Of the conspiracy, in order to declare
elected the delegates that would vote for the
candidates for whom and in whose interest
TIE money received WAS paid. The reyela-
ton has caused sensation, and will affect
seriously the chances of the Democratic CITY
ticket. "N, :1"'
