THE MOREY LETTER.
IT'S ORIGIN Observation-Disclosures
HEWITT COMPLETELY EXONERATEp.


HEWITT COMPLETELY ExoNERATED.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The origin of the
Morey letter has at last been discovered
The ringleader in the conspiracy was II. H.
Hadley, prominent officer of the Hancock
Republican Club of New York, an organiza a.
ton that embraced within its membership a
number of Republican politicians who fool
ishly jumped into the Democratic ranks at a
time when they imagined Hancock would be
elected. Hadley has told the story of his
connection with the forgery. While the de-
tails of the statement is suppressed, il is
known that Hadley and his associates
palmed off the letter as an original
document upon the Democratic National
Committee. John i. Davenport, of New
York, who deserves the credit OF having
u1earthed the forgery, is still engaged in
following up the trail with the expec-
tstion of running the game into the Demo
cratic camp. Ex-senator Barnum is sus-
pected of having had knowledge of the
forgery, and it is claimed by those who have
Investigated the matter that subsequent de-
velopment will lay large share of the blame
very close to his door. The investigation
already made completely exonerates Repre-
sentative A. S. Hewitt of any knowledge of
the forgery. 1t is reported, az gossip, that
Ex- Congressman III. q. Worthingtop, who
was collector OF customs at Charleston, S. c.,
during Patterson's carpet-bag administration
of that State had no knowledge of the letter.
Worthington is a native of Cumberland,
Md, where Lindsey lived. He was mem
Der of the Hancock Republican Club. The
story goes that Worthiugton persuaded Lind
sey to recollect that he knew Morey and was
familiar with his handwriting.

SHADES AND SHADOWS.

NEIL VI. HEATING.
Oh how hunger to wander in those fields
Where all is glory;
Where timid Spring alights for one short hour
Within her flight,
Before advancing Summer. and strews the earth
With buds of varied hue.
Where little elves on mischief bent
With spear grass armed,
The giant spider in his web attack,
And wage him battle there.
Or climbing up upon the clover lie perched airily
On broad green leaves swayed by the
passing breeze,
Until affnghted, they dive into dewy bath
And run dismayed away.
All could live forever with those elves
In wild. fantastic dance:
Through starry groups of beauteous flowerets
Neer to rest until
Upon some mountain high, my task being done
lay me down in peace for aye. .

BEAUTY AND IDLENEss MARRIED.

About three years ago Miss Esves, then, as
now, a most beautiful girl, took fancy to a
printer named Reno. He was shiftless sort
of fellow, and the girl was well educated and
most respectfully connected. Finally Reno
proposed to her, and was accepted. Her
parents were opposed to such an unequal
match, but, seeing that she had set her heart
on it, they make the best of it. The young
couple lived together, not unhappily, for a
few months; then he began to rove around
and to neglect her. Within year she bore
a child. Reno hated this boy, and wished he
were dead, and-the child died. He grew so
shiftless that an agreed separation was made,
and Mr.. Eaves forbade Reno ever to come

THIRD DISPATCH.
LONDON, May Ga later telegram from
Dublin says: 1t now appears that Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Under-Secretary
Burke were stabbed, and not shot. They
were both strolling in the park, about half a
mile from the city gate and quarter of a
mile from the cbief-secretary's lodge, when a
car drove up containing four men, two OF
whom jumped down from the car and at
tackled Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr..
Burke, stabbing them several times in the
throat and breast. The victims struggled hard
for life, and in the struggle became separated,
their bodies being found some ten
PAGES apart. The tragedy occurred about
7:10 O'Clock pm, and in broad daylight. The
bodies were first discovered by two young
gentlemen, who were riding bicycles through
the park, and who Immediately gave the
alarm to the police. Surgeons soon reached
the spot, but the police were already convey
ing Burke's body away to the town, where an
examination showed that life was extinct
The upper part of the body was perforated
in a shocking manner, and presented a
CHASTITY sight. Proceeding further, the medi-
cal men reached the body of Lord Fred
erick Cavendish, which was being conveyed
away from the park on a stretcher. The
body of the chief secretary displayed some
dreadful wounds, in addition to which his
left arm was also broken and torn, as if he
had put it up to protect his breast. Lord
Frederick Cavendish was quite dead. The
bodies were taken TO the Stevens Hospital,
where they will remain until an inquest is
held. The locality of the outrage is terribly
marked with blood. The spot where the
body of Lord Frederick Cavendish was
found was absolutely deluged, while Burke's
body lay in pool of blood. 1t is said that
after the act the murderers immedi-
ately drove off. There seems to be no
clue TO the assassins at present, but
ordinary measures to discover the
perpetrators. A large quantity of notes and
gold coin, besides their gold watches, were
found in the pockets OF the victims, which
showed that the object of the crime was not
robbery. Great excitement prevails through
out Dublin and widespread indignation is
Expressed over the event. The telegraph
offices are besieged for the latest news.
Owing to the iateness of the hour of the ar
rival OF the news in London, nothing of the
outrage is as yet known here among the gen.
eral public. AT the London clubs and other
late West End resorts, the news of the assas-
sination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Under-Secretary Burke was received with
feelings OF stupefaction, followed by express
sions OF the bitterest resentment.
