BARNUM BOOMS FOR TILDEN,

Elk Senator Barnum, CHAIRMAN Of the National
Democratic Committee, is In the city. To gen.
tlenan who had long conversation with the
Senator he expressed the opinion that Tilden
would receive the Democratic nomination al
though he declared that he was not Tilden
man. He thinks that Bayard has no strength In
the South or West but that 1t will be found when
the convention meets that Tilden will have the
Southern delegations.
As to John Kelly's antagonism to Til.
den, Barnum is reported as saying that the
Kelly fight last fall was on local candidate, and
he could carry his following with him then, the
same as is sometimes done In State for legisla-
tive power or a minor Office claiming that they
represented and were the party; but in national
contest 1t would be different. II Kelly should
bolt he would have to go over straight to the
Republicans, and that would end hlm with the
Democratic party forever He is too shrewd and
wise politician not 10 understand that If Kel-
ly should attempt to make trouble the Irving
Hall Democracy will send delegates, and Tam
many will be ruled out Of the national cOnVen.
tion. AS to Thurman, Barnum thinks he has not
possible chance Of the nomination, or election,
If he should be nominated, That Seymour will
not be mentioned, because he will declare in too
emphatic way 10 be misunderstood that he Is
not candidate Hendricks will not go before
the convention for either the first second place.
Pennsylvania will send, he thinks, Tilden dele.
CATION, The situation can be easily summed up:
There is majority Of S69 electoral votes 10 be OBJ
tanned TO elect President, and with the present
sure Democratic States, and the doubtful States OF
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey assured,
the victory will be with the Democracy, Tilden
Is the only man the Democrats can name who
will give a reasonable guarantee Of success In
those states-- Wash Corr Enquirer 10th inst.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

London, Feb. 1o,-In the House Of Lords to-
day, Earl Granville asked whether 1t were true
that the Government bad relieved Persia from
her engagements relative TO Herat. BeacOnsr
field replied there is no foundation for the state
ment. Steps for the settlement of affairs in Afg-
hanistan in many instances have been taken
with success, During their progress many com.
municahons were interchanged with Persia con.
Cerning the northeastern frontier, but nothing
has been concluded. 1t would be most inconVe.
nient and injurious to present the papers en- the
subject now!

WHAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

There 10 some apprehension that the State trials
in which Kemble, saller and others are defend.
ants on charges Of corrupt solicitationsof mem.
beraof the Legislature, will take the shape Of q
contest between two rival railroad CorDOratlons
The apprehension arises from the fact that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was deeply in
terested In the riot losses bill for which the de-
PENDANTS are charged with having eorruptly solic.
tied votes 10 the Lesislaturei and from the addi.
tlonal fact that Mr.. Gowen, the President Of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad company, has
volunteered az counsel for the prosecution. II is
un ortunAte for the ends Of Justice that such an
impression should prevail, as there is great dan
ger that the real issues will be obscured by the
prejudice that will be engendered,- l.. RarrISburgh

AN OLD LADY, AGED NINETY.THREE
BURNED TO DEATH.

Lebanon. o., Feb 7....o Old Mrs. Rouch, mother.
in,law of John Proctor, and mother Of John
Rouch, Of Lebanon, lady 90 years Of age, lived
in small house in the village Of Monroe. The
old lady had lived alone for many years, the cot.
tage being adjacent to that occupied by her
daughter, Mrs. Proctor Yesterday about eleven
o'clock Harriet Proctor, her daughter, Rs was her
custom, took the old lady her dinner, placed 1t
on a table near the fire, and after helping the
old lady to the table, fixing the FIRE, &c. returned
to her own house, not over 100 feet away, to com.
plete the preparation for her own noon day meal
Dinner was prepared and served, and prepara
tory to washing the dishes, Mrs. Proctor went
over to the old lady's cottage to get her dishes
and clean up the table. On entering the house
the most horrible sight met her view. The room
was filed with smoke, the floor on fIe and the
old lady lying upon her back; every stitch Of
clothing burned off Of her and her Aesh burned
to crisp, literally roasted alive and being rap.
idly consumed by the burning floor Had she
delayed her visit Is minutes longer the entire
building would have been consumed, As 1t was,
little remained of the old lady but a mess Of
crisp cooked flesh. The supposltion ls that the
old lady's clothing ignited while taking her din.
ner near the fire, and that being unable to ex-
tinguish the hames and no help coming, she was
roasted alive. The deceased was for many years
resident Of Lebanon, where she was well
known

TERRIBLE MURDER.

Londonderry, N H., Feb. 8-.A fearful tragedy
was enacted near this place yesterday, In which
Mrs. Sarah, aged SO, wife Of Y. " Dillingham;,
q respectable farmer, was the victim, and a
nephew OF her husband, Frank Dillingham;,
aged about 20, was the criminal. Frank went to
live with his uncle last April, and yesterday Mr.
Dillingham; went to Manchester, leaving his
nephew at work near the house. During the az
ternooR William Wallace a brother Of Mrs Dill
ingham, called to see his sister and found the
doors locked and the curtains drawn down. Sup
posing her to be asleep, he returned home. Soon
after Frank called at the country store Of David
Burns, only about 40 rods from the place Of the
tragedy, and called for Frank Burns, who came
to the door and young Dillingham; said, ~ have
shot Aunt Sarah" He was Immediately taken
into custody by persons in and about the store,
who took him to Dllingham's house. Upon en-
teringa fearful spectacle met taeir gaze. Mrs.
Dillingham; was lying on the AOor In the front Of
the room on her back with several garments
thrown over her head and body. Upon exsmin-
alton they found a rope drawn tightly around
her neck. Her clothing was disarranRed, and
her face purple from the severe choking pro-
duced by the rope, A bullet wound was discov.
cred at the base OF the skull, the bullet having
passed through the brain, Physicians were i'm
medlately summoned who pronounced the case
fatal, and death Is momen.arily expected. Frank
says he was cleaning revolver which accident
ally discharged, but does not attempt to account
for the rope around his anEs neck or for the dis.
ordered condition Of her underclothlng He
says he went into the woods back Of the house
and tried TO shoot himself with the same merevolver
bat failed through lack Of courage or some other
cause though an ugly bullet hole was made in
his forehead, the ball penetrating the skull Mrs.
Dillingham;, the victim Of the terrible affair, is
comelN modest appearing young woman, very
highly respected. The conclusion can hardly be
avoided that the unfortunate woman was raw.
ished either before or after the shooting and
choking and that her assaiant then seeing the
fearful crime he had committed hastily, fastened
the door, pulled down the curtains and retired
TO the forest in the rear Of the house with the In
tention Of ending his miserable existence. His
wound is not thought to be fatal.

TUMBLE IN THE PROVISION
MARKET.

Chicago, Feb. 9.'-TheIe was bad break IN the
provision market to day, with perhaps the most
active days trading ever experienced. Fnlly
tvo.thirds Of the immense stock Of 100000 bar
relO OF pork in this city potentially changed
hands on a drop which amounted to 80 cents o
barrel, with later reaction of 20 cents The
selling was chiefly done by men carrying pork
for parties outside the margins or which were
exhausted by the previous Decline and there is
good reason to believe that the men who filed in
their shorts to-day at big profit are leading OPP
orators in this city, Lard and meats declined in
sympathy good many long lots being sold out.
Wheat was higher, bing strengthened by fears Of
a general war in Europe, while corn and oats
were depressed by the break In provisions
