A Tragic Scene at The Quiet Sum-
mer Home of AIOnzO Chapel,
the Artist.

New York SUM-
John Milton Murray, an escaped
negro lunatic, from the Suffolk county
asylum, at Yaphank, L. l., was shot
and killed, on Saturday night last. by
Alonzo Chapel, the artist, who is
summering with his family at Artist
Lake, a beautiful spot about five miles
north Of Yaphank. On Saturday at
ternoon Keeper Sweezy,o { the asylum,
allowed Murray to take a bath. A
few minutes after six o'clock the
keeper missed him from the premises.
In company with Assistant Keeper
Wheeler, Keeper Sweezy at once
started put to look for Murray. They
soon learned that he had been seen
going in a northwest direction, on a
lively run, carrying an iron pail. The
keepers procured a bloodhound to
keep them on the track Of the runa-
way. On arriving at the residence of
Mr.. Chapel, at the lake, they were
shocked to learn that Murray had
been shot'dead. The particulars of
the shooting, as elected at the inquest
held on Sunday by Coroner Chaplin, of
Patchogue, are as follows:
When Mr.. Murray reached Mr..
Chappells premises, Mrs. Chapel
was in his room in the second story of
his residence. Murray approached
the house noiselessly, and was quite
near to Mrs. Chapel before she saw
him. Mrs. Chapel became very
much frightened, as she believed
Murray to be. a tramp. She asked
him what he wanted and whether he
wished something to eat. to which he
replied in a savage way that he wanted
nothing; and, as he kept his eyes
steadily fixed upon her, she became
impressed with the belief that he in
tended to spring upon her, As MUIR
ray approached nearer, declaring that
ne would not go away, as he had come
to 'stay, Mrs. Chapel went TO her
husbands room, and told him that
there was an i'll looking black man in
the garden, who refused to 20 away.
Mrs. Chapel cautioned her husband.
who has for some time been in poor
health, to put his pistol in his pocket.
as the man was very powerful and
ugly.
When Mr.. Chapel confronted Muir
ray in the garden he recognized him,
and told him to go back to the insti.
tuition, as the keeper was looking for
him. Murray said that he would moi
go, and that he proposed to remaiI
where he was. At this, Mr.. Chapel
thinking to frighten Murray, drew
his pistol and fired a shot over Muir
rays head. 1t. did not have the dc
sired effect. Murray said. "If YOU Ia,
hand on me I'll kill you" at tn,
same time shaking his fist at Mr.
Chapel.
Murray approached Mr.. Chapel
and when within five feet of hin
raised the iron pail above his head a
if to strike. At this, Mr.. Chappe
discharged his pistol, and Murra,
staggered and fell dead over the PAL
without uttering a word. John Ris
ley, a neighbor, arrived on the seen,

Pleasant Hill MO- Review.l
Mr.. j. r. Alexander, who lives
about five miles northeast Of here, in
Jackson county, in breaking up a
piece of newly cleared land, a few
days since, plowed up a box twelve
inches long and eight inches square.
The pillow striking it, it burst open:
The contents had been so far decayed
that when the air struck them they
crumbled to dust. Enough to show
that they had been paper bills of the
denomination of 800. In the lid Of
the box were cut in rude letters:
August %, 1864-$lS, 900" The
story in relation to this is as follows,
and was given to us by Mr.. Alexander:
Mr.. Alexander was a federal soldier.
and at the time of the Lawrence raid
was stationed at Osceola. These
forces we're ordered to Pleasant Hill
to intercept Quantrell. They met
him on the west bank Of Big Greek,
one and a half miles from this town,
and dispersed him. Quantrell ordered
his men to rally at Snihills. The fed
erals remained at Pleasant Hill, and
were ordered to break up into compa-
MES.
Mr.. Alexander's company captured
FIVE men, whose names were George
Gam (who lives in Greentown valley,
Bledsoe and Lisle (Mr. A. says he
forgets the other names), and also a
boy eighteen years old captured at the
same time. The boy was court-mar
tailed and shot here next morning for
burning to death some women and
children at Lawrence. Lisle turned
states evidence and informed on the
the others. Gam, Bledsoe and
one other were taken to Clinton.
court martialed and shot. Lisle was
taken to Lexington and served in the
same way. When Gam was taken
out to be shot, he saidA he had bur.
led $18 1000, which he had taken from
the Lawrence banks, on the bank of q
creek at the south edge of Jackson
county. He told Adjutant-G Genera
Doyle that it would never do hin
(Gann) any good, andhe'd be id
it should do him Doyle and good
Mr.. Alexander was present when Cam
was shot, and heard this conversation
and saw Gam shot. He says Gam
died like a brave man, refusing to b,
blindfolded or to kneel.
Mr.. Alexander tells a straight story
and we have no right to doubt it
correctness. Many who are now citi
zens here remember the shooting o
the boy, and know the place where h,
was buried.

Rockingham Va Register.

Rockingham Ya.) Register.l
Every day, as regularly as the hour
comes around, any person who may
take the trouble can see John w.
Leedy, the veteran mail carrier of the
world, arriving in Harrisburg on his
return trip from Port Republic, in
this country, with the mail. To look
at him one would not suppose that
he was capable of any great endur-
ance; but when you look at his rec
ord, you will find that he has gone
through with what would kill most
men. He has been carrying the
United States mail for the past twenty
five years, and during that time he
has ridden the enormous aggregate of
328,583 miles, or an average Of about
forty miles a day for six days of each
week for the whole period. If he
had gone in a straight line he would
have ridden around the world thir.
teen times. He was born in Charles
town, Jefferson county (now West
Virginia., and was raised there. and
clme to Rockingham during the John
Brown raids prior to the war, and has
been here ever since. He is only AZ
years of age, and bids fair to put in
another twenty-five years of service.
If he had been paid for every mile he
has ridden the price usually charged
for passengers on the railroads, four
cents per mile. he would have made
the handsome sum, in round numbers,
of $4,000.

New York Tribune.l
As the friends of Hugh j. Jewett,
president of Erie, had attempted to
work up a Jevett "boom" before the
Cincinnati convention, it was thought
that his views on the results of the
convention would be of much interest.
After six unsuccessful calls in search
of Mr.. Jewett, a Tribune reporter
found him on Friday at his house, No.
5 Gramercy Park. Mr.. Jewett re-
ceived the reporter with impressive
dignity. The conversation was as
follows:
Il have called, sir, to ask your
opinion with regard to the Cincinnati
nomination"
well, sir" replied MIR. Jewett, Il
consider it a most favorable choice.
Hancock's record is a pure one, and
he is very popular. | do not suppose,
however, that he entertained the
slightest idea of receiving the nomina-
ton"
Twill he carry Indiana?
II think so, undoubtedly.
How about New York p
THAT will surely be his"
what majority would you give
him in this state ?"
81 am unable to estimate that"
will he carry his own stateY'
"0fa certainty ; also several states
which usually follow Pennsylvania
lead. The solid south is likewise his.
What do you consider his chances
in Ohiof"
''They are good; Of course Garfield
has a strong mold there, it being his
own state"
Are you personally acquainted with
Mr.. English?"
Il am sir, and he is a learned
scholar, and will make a most excel
lent presiding officer in the senate.
The names of Hancock and English
present aremarkably powerfulticket.'
Mr.. Jewett sailed for Europe yes
terday morning on the City of Chester,
accompanied by Charles Q. Barber,
treasurer of the coal companies CON
nected with the Erie railroad. The
object of the trip is in part business

Arthur's Nomination a Disgrace.

Boston Advertiser lrepl.l
1t is an ungracious task to find
fault with any action taken by a CON
ventl0n whose main work has been so
satisfactory. But it would be shirk.
ing the truth not to say that the nom
ination for the vice.president is a
great disappointment. Nh. Arthur is
a representative in his own person of
principles and methods in politics
which a large portion Of the republi-
can party utterly condemns-and I'M
fortunately he represents nothing else.
His name could add nothing to the
ticket, for his national reputation is
the slightest; and such as it is was ac.
CURED in a contest with President
Hayes, in which the president was IN
the right and Mr.. Arthur in tho
wrong. If it was necessary
to prOpitiate Senator Conkling, after
losing his magnificent battle for Gen.
Grant, it was a small price for him to
ask, but much too high a price for the
convention to pay. 1t degrades
the cause which he led so CALAMITY,
and it will offend many more than ii
