prophecies. In his zeal. he has on divers
occasions appeared at places OF worship
and persistently insisted on playing
his part as preacher, to the great
disgust Of all who were present. fester-
day the Constable Of the District procured
a warrant for his arrest, on a charge OF dis
turbing public worship, and went to- his
house-to execute the anne. Lyle resisted
furiously, and assaulted Constable saund-
ers with an axe. Constable Rawley, in
order to save the life Of Saunders, fred
three shots at LYLE, one OF which took eff
feet in his right breast, and the other two
in the groin. LYLE then returned to his
house and barricaded the windows and
doors. Sheriff Mosey was sent for, and on
his arrival Lyle surrendered. On enter
ing the house the officers observed a stencil
of putrid human flesh, and upon making
search, found two Of Lyle's children dead,
with their necks broken. From the appear
ance of their bodies, decomposition having
commenced, they must have been dead
sometime. The Coroner's inquest found a
verdict that the children came to their
death by violence. Parties from the
neighborhood say there is a strong impress
sion that the murder was instigated by the
Virgin Mary, and the prophecies, who have
both welded strong influence over Lyle,
and that he did the killing to relieve the
woman of the care Of the children, believ-
ing that for the occasion he was Herod.
Lyle's wounds are painful, but are not con-
sidered mortal.

an extremely lively contest in Cook county.
The Republican Convention to-day, ac-
cording to the latest returns of the pri-
maries Of Saturday. stands as follows
Washburne, n; Grant, 81; Blaine, 81.
Both parties threaten to be on hand with
competing delegations. The anti-Grant

who accepted pay for voting the Grant
ticket in q ward which Grant could not
have carried except through fraud. Coun-
ter charges are numerous, and the Grant
men claim that they have 80 delegates, and

with them to-day. The Blaine and Wash
burne delegates held a caucus last night,

burne, 70; if the Cook county delegation
be equally divided between Blaine and
Washburne, q majority Of 60 for the anti
