THE PARkMAs MURDHR.
Watson Accused Of Being too Intimate
With ChadbOurn's Wife.


BANGOR, June 49, The correspondent Of
the Wing and Courier, writes concerning the
Parkman murder. Alvin Watson, the victim,
was about 80 years Of age. He went home
the night of the tragedy, about nine O'Clock
and retired. 1t is supposed that the murderer
entered the house about midnight. and that
Watson, awakened by the noise and was at
tackled while passing into an adjoining room.
1t also appears that Watson succeeded in
reaching a window and called for help, as
blood was discovered on the window sill, and
his cries were also heard. He received 80
cuts in all, some 20 of which were struck to
the knife hilt, any of which would have
caused his death. The victim was dragged
outside and then left, as light was seen in
the neighboring house. The body was found
early Monday morning. Samuel ChadbOurne,
a deaf mute Is years old, has confessed to
the crime, and his knife was found in his
pocket covered with blood. 1t now appears
that there has been trouble between Watson
and Chadbourne's family for some years. 1t
is being claimed that Watson was too intimate
with Chadbourne's wife. The mute and the
other members of his family are under
arrest.

Tuck called up his resolution offered yes
terday that the convention each day should
take not less than four votes until at least
one senator was elected.
Alvord had no objection to the resolution,
but he thought it would amount to nothing,
as those who vote for it to-day would vote
against it tomorrow. He then returned to
to the remarks of Spinola, yesterday, that
the republican party would have to meet the
people on this question sooner or later. He
said the republican party had often met the
people on public questions. and always to the
discontinue of the democratic party. 1t
would do so again on this question. He said
the people of the state demanded that this
legislature shall elect two United States SEN
ators, and that they shall be of republican
prociivities.
Spinola replied, saying that the democratic
party is in a minority and was standing here
as unite and would so stand until the crack
of doom. 1t was necessary. He repudiated
the idea of demagogism when applied to the
demOcrOtic parry.
Senator Mills moved to lay the resolution
on the table, carried.
Gorsleine offered resolution that when
this convention adjourned Saturday it meet
next in Richfield Springs.
The chair ruled the resolution out of order.
Newman offered resolution that a com.
Inittee of five be appointed to make suitable
arrangements for the celebration of the
Fourth of July.
The chair decided the resolution out of
order.
Hayes moved adjournment until fall.
Brooks, in voting for an adjournment, said
chat, judging by the past, he was satisfied
chat no further voting would reach any re-
suit, and maintained it was moral and phys
lcal impossibility to do what the con-
vention was attempting to do. He also ques-
toned the vilidity of voting and reiterated
his views that the U. S. Senate were the
Sole judges as to who shall be admitted as
members of that body.
The motion to adjourn was carried rs to 20.
The Graphic's Albany special states that
Conkling believes that the point of order
raised by NJ. c. Murphy (dem.) of Brooklyn,
on Saturday, that balloting on that day was
illegal, because there was no quorum, was
well taken.

ton on the drama of history, start
ing with significant stanza of Berkeley,
Westward the course of the empire takes
its way" The four first acts are already
past. A fifth shall close the drama with the
day, "Times noblest offspring is the last"
He said that from the beginning of authentic
history progress and development has ever
been the law of mans existence. This prog
ress has been constant and increasing, like
the waters of river augmented by those of
its tributaries and has ever flowed from the
east to the west. History is a drama and
as such may be divided into five acts, each
proceeded by a long period of preparation.
First the age Of pervicles when artistic beauty
and the development of art reached its con-
summation. Second, the age of Augustus
when martial force and power stood highest
in the scale, when the power of the govern
ment and of law were developed and perfect
ed. Third, the age of Lee the tenth, the age
of scientific discovery and invention when
thought began to assert its supremacy.
Fourth, the age of Washington is the age of
administration and of universal emuncipa-
ton, when the rights of man were developed
and assaulted. Four acts of the great drama
are past. The science has worked westward
from Greece to America. Here the fifth and
last act will be ended, and here the perfect
civilization and culture of mankind will be
attained. The Grafton was spoke without
notes in fine style. with force and power of
expression that must long be remembered by
