How Murkil was killed.

The inquest In the case of Henry
Murkil, of Haver de Grace, Nd, who was
killed on the p, w. u b. r. r., bridge
at Chester, Wednesday morning, devel-
oped the following facts in relation to
the accident: Murkil was working on
the south side OF the bridge, when .he
south bound train passed over, with his
back to the north bound train. AS the
latter train came on the bridge, an in
slant later, engineer Allen was fixing the
injector, the fireman was engaged at
some other work, and the victim, who
was prying up plank, with his back to-
ward the approaching train, was not
seen until the locomotive was almost on
top of him. Then the engineer ATTEMPTED
to blow the whistle, but missed the rope,
aud when he did succeed in pulling the
whistle rope the engine was about strik-
ing the man. Boulden, who tagged the
train, saw the danger Murkil was in,
hallooed to him, but his voice was
drowned in the noise of the down train,
Murkil had paid attention to the down
train, but was not aware of the approach
OF the train that struck him the fata
blow.
The deceased was about twenty-eighl
years of age, an exemplary young man
aud highly respected in Hayre de Grace
his home.

An Interesting Trial.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, August A
telegram from Alma says that James
Whalen and Henry Eiffert, who are in
Jail at Fayetteville, charged with hav-
ing destroyed the Boudinot Hotel, at
Vineta, Cherokee Nation, have tele-
graphed for William P. Ross and Major
Lyon, distinguished Cherokee attor-
neys, to conduct the defence. The
trial promises to be of unusual interest,
as it is understood the defence will
rely mainly on the law defining Indian
citizenship and the rights of such in
the Territory. Eiffert is also charged
with having murdered man, named
Trippard, near Fort Gibson, in 1878,
and writ has been served on him.
He was candidate for a seat in the
Cherokee Council, and is said to have
been chosen as such at the election
held on Monday last. The trial will
take place as soon as Ross and Lyon
and certain witnesses arrive.

The early construction Of the long
contemplated Maryland and Delaware
Ship Canal across the Peninsula con-
necting the Chesapeake with the Della.
ware Bay, thereby shortening the dis
tance to the ocean from this port 225
miles was assured to-day. Mr.. La

Paris capitalists, and Horace B. Teb-
belts, president of the Maryland and

merchants who assured them that the
enter prise would receive the support
of the mercantile community. What

900 has been taken in Paris, and the

lists in Europe, and that the means
necessary to prosecute the work were
obtained with comparatively little
difficulty. The bonds and stock bear
six per cent. interest. Contracts for
the work will be let Immediately and

IT APPEARS THAT HARTMANN, th

IT APPEARS THAT HARTMANN, the
alleged Russian Nihilist, yesterday
crossed the American frontier into Can
ada In order to put himself out of the
reach of possible arrest at the request
of the Russian Government. 1t was
hardly necessary tor Hartmann to put
himself to this pains. The horror with
which Americans regard assassination is
part and parcel of the American respect
for law. The United States have no
treaty of extradition with Russia, and
we're Hartmann 10 be arrested within
the territory OF the United States by the
authority of the Executive, the nearest
tribunal of Justice would held those who
arreated him to severe account. The
experiment IN which Secretary Seward
indulged himself when he connived at
the kidnapping of Colonel Arguelles ia
not likely to be repeaei in our time
even to oblige so friendly power as
Russia or to punish SO gross crime as
assassination. The Tribune likens the
case of Hartmann to the case OF Surratt,
and seems to imply that, as Surratt was
seized in Egypt by the Government oi
that ceuntry aud delivered up to the
United States, Hartmann ought to be
seized In the United States by the State
Department and delivered up to Russia.
| It does not seem to have occurred to the
| Tribune that the Governments OF Egypt
and of the United States are not eonduc
| ted upon precisely the same principles.
| The American Government accepted the
| surren der to our laws OF Tweed by
Spain, but the Department of State took
pains to inform the Spanish Govern
ment that the attention could not be
! reclprocated in any case by this country
ave under treaty Of extradition. The
,octr,ne of our law touching tradition
is a wise and sound doctrine, ever
though 1t was put in force against onr
selves In the case of the Creole in 1S4.
