BosroN, April II. The following is a
special to the Journal:
ST. Adams, VT, April L..
The Journal correspondent is authorized to
give publication to Information Of great i'm
portance. and which was impaired to him on
the train between New York, and Montreal
by 4 leading democratic politician of New
England. whose high standing in the councils
Of his party. has entitled him to a prominent
recognition in the late democratic conference
in New York city. At which Senator Barnum,
Tllden and Gen. Hancock, with members of
the National committee, were present. The
Journal representative was shown kilograms
and letters from the leading supporters of
Tildens candidacy in New York and Connec-
ticut, corrobsting the statements. The ques-
ton of Tilden's candidacy was settled at that
meeting, and Tilden positively decided not
to be candidate for the nomination. The
gentleman asserts emphatically that Tilden
has written letter to be read at the SYRIA
cuse convention, Withdrawing his name from
the field, urging as the reason his failing
health. and his desire to promote harmony
and success. The increasing probability of
his being unable to carry the State conven-
ton is more likely the cause of his action
Gen. Hancock stated to the Journals in
formant that he should not enter into any con-
test or fight to secure his nomination. and
that he was not a candidate in the sense of
being a seeker for the Office Of President
The Vermont democrats will undoubtedly
elect delegation at their State convention
next week in favor of Gen. Hancock. Theirs
will be the first State convention to lead of
under a revised programme of the democrat
ic leaders, now that Tilden is considered out
of the field.

cratic caucus elected 6 Hancock delegates TO

ployment of all honest means to secure the

Der Ofdelegates to the democratic State con-

had been killed at the house of the latter. A
hood last worn by the child was found buried
in Driscoll's cellar, and evidence is strong
against Mrs. Driscoll. An axe blade was
found in the cellar, the handle Of which was
stained with blood. barrel smeAred with
blood on the inside and containing several
bags, also bloody and similar to. the one
found nearrhe body. were found in the cell
lar. The police theory is that the child was
killed in the cellar, the body put into the bag
to conceal it, then put under the stairs where
the hood was found, and afterward carried in
a bag and deposited where found, to give the
impression that the child was killed by Z
train.

A Perileas Ride.
The Bangor Wing of Saturday gives the
following particulars of the perilous journey
OF fenobscot lumberman over the dam a,
a. that city: Yesterday some of Messrs.
otockwell, Adams & Co.'S. men went up river
70 run raft that has been in the ice all
winter. They had previously examined the
Jam and decided that the raft could be taken
over 1t, providing they could not pass
through the sluice. When they came down,
on the raft, however, and the
persons on the shore saw that the
men were going over the dam, they sent
up such shout that it shook the nerves Of
some OF the crew and they all jumped on the
pier, with the exception of one Landers. He
remained on the raft and came over the dam
In safety and succeeded in reaching the dock,
none the worse for his perilous journey. The
raft was considerably broken up, and as some
coats fell of into the water it was thought on
the shore that one Of the men had fallen into
the river. This caused quite an excitement
until the spectators learned their mistake
The lumber was all picked up.
