The BRAYrON MURDER.
Detailed Account by Deputy Collector
Noah.

w.sH1SGrox, d. c., July %. detailed
account of the murder of T. L. Brayton, was
received to-day by Commissioner Raum from
Deputy Collector Noah of South Carolina
district. The latter states that the deputy
collector upon arriving at central, iounu a
large crowd of people assmbled and great
excitement prevailing. An inquest was pc
ing held at the time. The deputies could
NOT Learn the whereabouts of Mellow and
no one was willing to go with them to ms
house except man named Knight to depend
on to pilot the party, but he was detained as
a witness before the coroner.
The BODY of Brayton had received no at
tention from the people, and the deputles
gave their first care to the corpse, ana Depu-
ties Kennedy Freeman and Holcombe re-
turned to Greenville that night with the
remains leaving a force of six men.
The coroner's jury brought in verdict
that Brayton met his death lat the hand OF
unknown parties ssTnis verdict" the re-
port saws, was given notwithstanding the fact
that Mellow had visited the town in the
morning. openly proclaiming that he had
killed revenue officer and was hunting for
the balance of the posse.
1t appears that McDow's distillery had been
in operation for the past two years, within
two miles of the town Of Central.
which is known as "dry town,
tina, is, prohibiting the sale of spurious
or malt liquors within its limits Its thought
that Mellow found ready sale for his
liquors at Central.
The murderer is reported to be extremely
dangerous. and it is said that whenever he
visited the town of Central the merchants
would close their doors, reopening them after
he would leave the town. Deputy Noah
thinks that Mellow is hiding in the vicinity of
Central, and having no fears of the convic-
ton in the State, will eventually surrender
himself to the state authorities. In the mean
time, however, endeavors will be made to
secure his arrest. A reward of 300 dollars
offered by the Commissioner, has been the
basis for the organization of several scouting
parties who are now searching for Mellow.
The State authorities, report says, take no
action in the premises, and the statement that
Judge Cothran had sent a telegram to the
sheriff of Pickens county to arrest the MUIR
derer, is denied. The difficulties in the way
of arresting Mellow in any open way is rep
resented to arise principally from the fact
that the people, if not in sympathy with him,
fear him, and consequently are his friends,
and they protect and harbor him.

MrNNEApoLIs, July 90. The crop reports
from fifty counties in Minnesota and Dakota
show that while the average yield per acre in
Minnesota will not be equal to last year, the
increased acreage will bring up the total
yield TO fully that of 1880. In the Red River
Valley and Central Dakota, the yield is near
ly equal to that of 1879, and the acreage is
increased by 40 per cent. in the southern
section. Other crops look WELL Barley is
in stock and there is big yield. Corn is
the best for years.

and there is a marked improvement in his
condition tonight as compared with that of
days ago. He has taken in the past Is
hours the full allowance of nourishment and
there has been slight increase in his physi-

asleep and has slept most of the time since.
He is now free from fever, with a pulse below
100 and temperature and respiration normal

New YORK, July 20. A young man
brought to the police headquarters to-day, a
letter which he said he found upon the side
walk at the corner of Sd Avenue and eth

show the letter to the representatives of the
press, holding out that it had no signature,
and that it had been thrown into the street
to create a sensation. The party who found
the letter. said that it was dated July %. but
had no address. and was signed Laurence or
Laurent. So far as he could remember, the
note read as follows:

The new Gar of Russia is to be soon
formerly crowned at Moscow. The Gar
himself can have no hearty longing for
this event. He is to-day practically a fu-
gitive through mortal dread of the wrath

rather TO be pitied than envied. The
humblest OF his subjects is happier than
he. for his life is in momentary peril from
the implacable fanatics who are watching
their opportunity to deal with him as
they dealt with his father, and to give him
release from his burdens and fears by the
bloody process of assassination. But no
matter what the hunted Gar may prefer,
he must needs go through the forms of a
coronation. To refuse or even to hesitate
would be rs fatal to his authority as a
favorable opportunity for the Nihilists to
do their will would be to his life. The
law is imperative. and he must formally

The Board of Naval Experts appointed
some time since by Secretary of the Navy
Hunt to inquire into the needs of the navy
in respect to new vessels and the kind
best suited to the defence of the country
and the maintenance of its dignity in other
countries, has arrived at important con-
illusions. The board has decided to
recommend the construction of three
classes of fighting cruisers. to have speed
OF Is. IA and Is knots an hour respective
". The largest class is to have capacity
of570o tons. They also recommend the
construction of a number Of gunboats tor
river service. to have a capacity of 700
tons. a speed of ten knots. and to carry
one gun each. These are designed to
serve on the Chinese and other coasts. for
there are no suitable boats now existing
in the navy. The gunboats will be of
wood. but the larger vessels will be of
iron. The naval constructors connected
with the board will hold session at the
Portsmouth On. H.) Navy Yard to de-
termine upon the models or lines of the
various classes of vessels. When this is
done the engineers OF the board will de-
eide as to the kind of engines best adapted
to the different classes. The officers, it is
learned, are ready to abandon their
preference tor heavy rigging. so there
will be no difficulty in providing for the
necessary speed. The prospects are that
the conclusions of the board will be har-
monious.
