A Fatal Ouarrel.

The town Of Auburn, Me-, was the scene Of
terrible tragedy on the 20th. The two VIC
Tins were Mathew Connor and Patrick O'Con-
nell, hod-carriers, who, il appears, had horne q
grudge against each other for some time past.
They were both engaged IN Hustons new
cracker factory, the walls Of which have been
run up three stories. or q distance OF about
fifty feet. On the fatal morning the men went
to work as usual, but something occurred to
rouse the old animosity. Quicker than thought
the two men in their unreasoning anger lad
closed in deadly conflict on the dizzy edge Of
the third story walls. The struggle was fei ce
but short. Before they could be separated
both men lost their balance and, clasped In
each others embrace, they pitched over the
wall. striking upon the ground below with a
fearful thud. Their rfellow-workmen immediate
ly FASTENED below, but TO no avail. The two
men were maneled corpses. What makes the
circumstance peculiarly sad is that both men
leave large families who were dependent upon
them for support. Connor leaves seven chill.

MERCHANTS VS.. RAILROADS.
s. Supreme Court sun ,he Outcome of
tho New York Freight Strikes

a Supreme Court sun v.e Outcome of
tho New York Freight Strikes
New YORK, July 1S-Argument was be-
gun to-day in the supreme court upon an ap.
plication fora peremtory maudamus against
the New York Central and Erie Railroa d
companies, to compel them to receive aud
transact freight promptly. Simon Stein,
counsel for the merchants said that incalcu-
liable damage has been done and is still being
done because of the illegal and pernicious
neglect of the companies in the premises, stat
ing that the estimated losses to merchants
have been 81 100000 daily. He also said af-
davits showed that the only rea-
neglect was that they had refused
to employ men competent to perform the
work of removal and handling freight. Ex-
Judge Shipman for the railroad companies
said when mans freight was detained at a
railroad depot he had right by an action at
law for damages sustained bnt not by mauda-
mus. No such authority had been vested in
the attorney general by the statute as that
which he had assumed. Counsel questioned
the right of the attorney general TO assume
supervision of common carriers in regard to
the shipment of freight. 1t may be said that
temporary Inability to carry It's freight
diverted trade from the state, but this did not
give the court right to grant the mandamus
applied for.
After recess Col. James began his argument
for the merchants. He reviewed the history
of the strike in connection with the blockade
of freight and contended that corporation
holds its powers as a trust to be used for the
public good. They were private institutions
so far as income, etc,.was concerned, but were
public servants when acting as common car
riers. The railroad charters were granted for
the extension of commerce and when the &C.
ton of a company endangered the com
merce of the city, then it became the attorney
generals duty to interfere. The application
had nothing to do with the strike, as the COM
panies if they performed their work might
employ whom they pleased.
Tomorrow the attorney general and ex-
Senator Conkliug argue the question.

From Another Correspondent.

CHICAGO, July 1S-The break in the grain
market yesterday was followed to-day by
another sharp decline. The market opened &c
higher, but fell quickly, owing to the cen.
tinued big receipts and lower Liverpool cash
wheat, which was sl.l6 Saturday, sold at
Sl.O7. No. 2 closed at $l.O3H for August.
July sold within 315c of September, and has
declined 10c in three days. The latest sales
show shrinkage since yesterday of SIC for
July. 2ac for August, &c for September, and
&c for year. The decline is attributed to the
large quantity of winter wheat now on the way
TO the market. The large receipts must con-
tinue for some days, and the disposition on
the cOard was to go short, and especially on
July options. No 2 spring wheat ranged 2Oc
higher than regular. Ii is said that Karstone,
Wells, and Plankinton are manipulating this
corner. 1t is also Iumored that Armour and
McGeoch stand in with them, and the inten
ton is to hold prices stiff and possibly higher
on July. 1t is said that this combination con-
trolls several millions of bushels, and sensa-
ton may be expected when the July settle
ment comes.
Corn opened at an advance in sympathy with
the higher price for pork. A slight reaction
set in later and the market closed the same as
yesterday.
Pork seems TO have struck bottom yester-
day. All large provision dealers bought
largely at the recent low rates To-day Sibly,
French Il Co. bought heavily OF August and
September pork and the impression is that
the bears OF few days since are now on the
bull side. Hutchinson bought good deal OF
lard to-day and the report shows that lard has
advanced soc since yesterday.

Executive Session of the Senate.


WAsHISGToN, July 1s.-In tie sepate's ex.
ecutive session this afternoon two hours were
consume in discussing the nomination of
David Lanning to be postmaster at Pennyap.
n. Y, vice the incumbent, Cleveland. 10 he
removed for cause. This nomination was
sent to the senate several months ago, was re-
ported from the senate committee adversely
on the 18th OF May, and has attracted atten
ton by reason of the public assertion that the
real nature of the removal of Cleveland was
the desire to replace him 10y a stalwart. This
feature was not referred to during IN. DAVIS
proceedings, the senate debate turning simply
upon the question of sufflciency of cause.
Senator Miller IN. Y took the ground that
charge against Cleveland was ''trumped mn. -
One offense consisted in delivering to a former
proprietor OF village newspaper certain New
York City papers and magazines which the
ex proprietor had earned by advertising them
and to which (although they continued to be
addressed simply to the village newspaper
office he was still entitled under the reserya-
ton made by him in favor of accrued claims
for advertising.
Senat'r Lapham commended that Cleveland's
violation OF the postal law was deliberate and
uDJustiiable. Other senator's took the ground
that in view of the presidents constitutional
responsibility for the proper conduct of his
executive service his right to make such re.
moval as was contemplated in the present in.
stance should be recognized. The nomination
was rejected. Yeas 2S, nays 80.
Shortly afterwards Senator Morgan ala
entered motion to reconsider the vote, and
the senate adjourned with the motion pending.
Nearly all the Democrats voted in the negs.
tive, and large majority of Republicans in the
affirmative, yet the vote was rather in accord
ance with the views OF the senators on the
merits OF the case than by influence of party.
ANOTHER CONTROVERSY.
The nomination of JOS. E. Slaughter as
postmaster at Mobile was also the subject of
prolonged controversy, but of no general
interest. Senator Morgan opposed and sena.
Tor rugn favored the confirmation, which was
finally effected by decisive majority.
