NIr. Tilden's Candidacy.
Hon. Fred. O. Prince. secretary of the national
committee, in reply to many questions says:
81 was OF the opinion several days since that
Mr.. Tilden would not be a candidate. but he has
been recently surrounded by ill-adyiSed friends
who have persuaded him that he is one Of the
great men OF America, and that he ought to be
a candidate, and he has yielded to their seduc-
tive arguments and Will be candidate, but he
cannot count on over 1873 votes In the conven-
uon on the first ballot, and the two-thirds rule
Will lead to his defeat"

 DUBLIN, Sept 6.-Lord Mountmorris was murdered on Saturday night by some parties unknown. He had attended meeting of magistrates at Clonbar in the county Galway early in the evening and left Clonbar about eight o'clock His body was found at nine o'clock on the roadside at Kathleen near Bal lingdyle, about half a mile from his resi- dence Ebor Hall, with six bullet holes In It, most of which were in the head. Lord Mount morris had recently refused any reduction in the rent of his tenants and his relations with them were generally unsatisfactory:
 At a land meeting at Clonbar to-day all of the speakers disclaimed any complicity or sympathy in the murder of Lord Mountmor- ris A lantern and bottle of wh1skey were found alongside of the body, which had a rifle wound in the head, three in the neck and two in the body, each of which would prove mortal. Lord Mountmorris was on horseback, and the fact of his horse arriving home riderless caused search to be made for the rider Lord Mountmorrls had only fifteen tenants.

Pointing Gut Bob IngersoI's Errors.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Professor Swing at the Central church today. replied to five points in Colonel Ingersolrs lecture of last Sunday entitled, ''What must we do to be saved ?" He said said Ingerson had arraigned the Bible, claiming that the gospels were largely interpolations and unreliable, but
 Matthew and others were as well authent1-
 cated as the writings of Pliny, Tacltus or
 Seneca of the same period Admitting that
 the gospels were unreliable, the speaker
 would throw them aside and take only Pliny s
 account of the early Christians, which would
 be sufficient gospel for the church to-day.
 Professor Swing arraigned Ingerson for his
 Aippant and sarcastic method of treating the
 great questions he discussed. Sarcasm, he said, was poor food for the youth of this country. Ingerson had formulated gospel of education, good clothes and good living, but he had to go outside his own doctrine, to Christ. to find his ideal man. Ingerson saiG the people would be happier and better fl they would put into their homes the money they squandered on fine churches The sneaker denied that the churches of this country were unnecessarily elegant. Inger | soil wanted the largest and finest halls il l which to gather people to listen to him, bu was not willing to accord to Christians th' l same right. They must not have churches | or halls, but spend their money on thel l homes. The sermon of Professor Swing i l considered an able answer to Colonel Inger | soils lecture.
 ! Besides the sermon of Professor Swing i there were replies to Colonel Ingersol1 iron the pulpit to-day by Dr; scrimer at the Bap | tist church, Rev. MT Courtney at St James I Eniscopal church and others The Sunda, papers have many columns of correspond ence commenting upon Ingersoll's doctrines

Found Face DoVynVyard-A Pistol in His
 Left Hand-An Evident Case of Murder.
 SCRANTON, Sept. 26.-The discovery of the body of respectfully dressed man, of about fifty years of age, in a ravine on the Moosic Mountains, about five miles from Scranton, Friday afternoon, was reported to the county coroner, pr. N. Y. Leet, yesterday. On go- ing to the scene and making an examination, he unhesitatingly declared that the man had been murdered and thrown between the rocks where he was first seen by a party of lads who were gathering chesnuts. The man lay face downward and the left hand held a pistol. There was a bullet wound on the right side of the head. The evident design of the murderers was to give the impression that he had committed suicide. This theory
 was speedily upset by the coroner's investi-
 gation, as the skull of the murdered man was
 found to have been battered in by a stone
 and his blood was splashed upon the rocks
 between which he lay. Besides this the pis- tol was held in the mans left hand and the
 bullet wound was found on the right side of the head, where he could not possibly have reached had he attempted to take his life with the revolver. Captain Carling, the county detective, with several officers, are l working up the case, and expect to trace the crime to desperate gang who make thell home in the Moosic Mountains and who have ! recently become the terror of this place Several mysterious murders have within the l past few years been committed in that neigh I borhood, and the community is now thor | oughly aroused to the importance of running down the perpetrators. The body of tho 1 latest victim was brought to Scranton to-nigh l and messages have been sent in all directions
 to ascertain who he is.
