A ReeuSVllle, NJ, special OF the nth says:
The excitement over the outrage committed
upon Mrs. Irwin Rockingham, and the speed,
l%ynching of the ferd who committed the deed
has scarcely died out before the people of TIM

greatly and swallows with difficulty, the bruised
places on her throat having turned green. In
addition to the brutal injuries inflicted upon hel
it is now feared that she will become a raving
maniac.
This morning william Faweett, a negro who hss
been a bad character. a rape upon the
person of Lizzie Fawcett, his cousin, a ten year
old girl. The Sc0undrel met the girl at the bridge
near Hillsboro, and there ommitte the horrible
deed. He threatened her with death if she re-

More of What Hayes said About COnkling.
There has been a deal of talk OF what Hayes
said and did not say about Senstor Conkling
during a recent interview. Somebody has been
talking to Mrs. Kennedy about the matter, as
she was present with her brother at the time. hnd
the following is the latest in regard to it:
DO YOU remember what it was that brought
up the conversation about Senator Conkling a
YES, very clearly. 1 sat opposite Mr.. Hayes in
the carriage, aud could see his face while he was
talking. After my reference TO Senator Conkling
some time passed before he was spoken of again,
and then after a moment or so of quiet Mr.. Hayes
said: Kennedy, if you knew Conkling as L do
You would not be so great an admrer Of him He
is a treacherous man.. a dangerous man 10 the
party and the country e three times endeav-
O7ed TO destroy the party, and he would have
done so had not the party been SO much stronger
than he. / repeat 1t, he is a treacherONs, danger
Gus man. Mr.. Hayes was quite excited as he
continued to talk Il could see that his face was
flushed. bis eyes flashed, and ne spoke very sharp
ly. He went on to tell the manner m which he
knew by personal knowledge of Mr.. Conkling's
attempt 10 defeat the Republican party in New
York after he had failed " secure the nomination
that MI. Hayes received; a second time during
the period of the Electoral Commission and a third
time when the Potter investigating Committee
was organized. l do not know enough about pol
tiles to remember all thin, and did not think
enough of il at the time. l remember that he
said he thought Mr.. Conkling might have be-
lieved he was doing right, and that he thought
the New York Senator q man of great ability, but
that he is overbeaTing and offensive, and so AFRO
CANT and dictatorial at times as TO be insufferable
to his nearest friends. In fact. 1 have come to
doubt his nationality, Ar. Hayes said, and think
assumption that he has developed into a mono
maniac. Ihaye no doubt many men have been
shown in Courts to be victims OF mental halluc.s
