Farmer Watson's Murder-Great Excite
 ment Over the Afair-Much Feeling
 Against the Murderer.
 BANGOR, June 28.-The farming town of Parkman in Piscataquis county is greatly ex- ci ted over the murder of Alvin Watson Sun- day night. Watson was single man, 27 years old, of very inofensive disposition. He had lived alone in his house on the road to Wellington. He was a farmer, just eet- ting on in the world, and though his life was solitary, he looked forward to taking & wife to his home Yesterday morning at o'clock his corpse was found by the neighbors lying on the ground about fifty feet from his house, weltering in blood. There was severe wound on the mans throat which severed the jugular vein, and on his side were cuts made by a sharp knife, numbering in all forty-nine wounds. Suspicion at once point ed to Byron Chadbourne, deaf and dumb youth of twenty years, as the murderer, for on Sunday evening he was seen going toward Watson's house at about o'clock mute at first denied, but subsequently con- fessed that he did kill Watson. He showed the knife with which he did the deed and went through motions descriptive of his method of doing the work. He is very cool about the whole affair. There is strong suspicion that the father and mother of the mute were implicated in the act. Watson had no enemies and had 8 large number of rela- tions in all the surrounding towns. It will not be an unexpected event if within the next twenty four hours there shall be an at- tempt to lynch the murderer, for the people of the whole county are in fever heat of indignation and excitement There are many resolute and impatient young men who long to avenge the cold bIooded murder of one of their number, but wiser heads may prevail to let the law take its course. Deputy Sheriff Martin, of Guilford, has the murderer in charge and will take him to Penobscot jail at Bangor tomorrow, for there is no jail in Piscataquis county.

The Railway Murder-FIight of the
 Planned Tragedy.
 LoNDoN, June 28.-Further particulars of the railway murder reported in these dis patches yesterday are as follows: When the Brighton express train was stopped for the collection of tickets outside of Brighton yes- terday, a-man named Arthur Lefroy was found in one of the carriages wounded on the head and bleeding. He reported that his fellow travellers were a countryman and an old gentleman; that shortly after passing Croyden he heard shot and was stunned The police found several bullets imbedded in the carriage, aud in the Balcombe tunnel tired business man, who had been to London to collect dividends, with his throat cut He was also stabbed in various places. Only a pocketbook containing cards was found on his person. Lefroy, after having his wound been issued stating that he will be accused of the murder of Gold. He is a newspaper reporter, aged 22. There is little doubt but that the murder was deliberately planned. The electric alarm of the railway carriage WAS unused The story of a third party being in the carriage is thought to be myth. The evidence shows a bloody con- fict. Lefroy before taking to flight changed his clothes and did not call upon the doctor who said he going. A piece of Mr. Colds watch chain was found in one of Le- froy's boots. The authorities at the sea- ports are on the lookout for the murderer and every outgoing vessel is closely watched.
 LONDON, June 29.-The murder of MT, Gold on the Brighton railway express train is the greatest sensation for years, and every one is speaking about it. The police are still acting on the belief that Lefroy was the mur- derer of Gold, while all London is laughing at the stupidity of the police in allowing Le> troy to escape. There is no doubt but that the motive was robbery. The inquest on Colds body will be opened to-day.

The MoreIas AccIdent-Latest Estimate of
 the Number Killed.
 CrTY OF MEXICO, June 2s.-Official dis patches from the scene of the Morelas rail- road accident place the number of killed at 18O. There were 300 passengers on board the train at the time of the disaster. The government investigation is proceeding. Car los Pacheco assumed today the office held by General Diaz, who has resigned and will go to Caxaca, of which State he probably has been elected Governor. Senor Fernandez will go as Governor of the District, vice Pacheco. This change is the cause of re- mark, as Pacheco is reported to be interested in the Morelas railroad, and in which other officials are involved. The papers arc attack ing the government, and demand that the blame for the accident be fixed where it properly belongs. It is thought that nothing will come of the investigation. The DiGr0 the government organ, says that it was inn possible to foresee the accident.
