Nothing except hearsay. If any

Folger's Fate.
IT is no nE nEArEN roR GovERNol

IT Is To BE BEATEN FOR GOVERNOR.
WASHINGTON, April -Rumors are
still rife here that President Arthur
has expressed !. strong desire that the
coming republican state convection in
New York should inscribe Judge
Folger's name on its gubernatorial ban
ner. 1t is claimed that Secretary
Folger would be acceptable TO the half
breed faction as well as to the stall
warts, and would thus harmonic the
party. 1t is also asserted that he will
accept the nomination if rendered.
Where Governor Cornell comes in,
under these circumstances, il is diff
cult just now to see, and he is not the
stamp of man to be put under bushel
without kicking against the process.
For obvious reasons, the president is
extremely anxious to unity and
strengthen the party in his own state,
and he does not think that Gov Cor
nell would make a strong race against
a popular democratic competitor.

Coming Contests
OF THE CONTESTED SEATS COMMITTEE.


WASHINGTON, April 4.-Some curl
osity has been manifested mt the con
tinued delay of the house committee
on elections in making certain reports
which have been known to be practi-
cally ready for over a week. The rea-
son Is that fixed plan Is to be observed
in the tao les of the committee, and to
serve a purpose the cases are to be re-
ported in a certain order. The cases of
Blsbee VS.. Finley, Mackey VS.. O'Con-
nor, and Lynch VS.. Chalmers. could be
reported any day, and ON and after
next Tuesday the plans of the commit
tee will be SO matured that these aud
other cases may be looked for The small
republican majority, being only one
over all. renders it practically impossi-
BILE to get quorum without help.
There are several members of the
house who were elected as greenbackers
but who are against the bourbon party
when they are needed. They do not
wagt, as a matter of course, it is not
necessary to vote with the republicans.
but if cersain case are presented they
can do so. For example they could
satisfy their constituents should they
vote for the seating of lynch from the
"sho string" district in Mississippi, be-
cause showing will be made in that
case so damaging that honest-minded
men of all parties will revolt, and only
the party lash will hold the bourbons
up to Chalmers support. Especially
easy will it be to greenbackers to ex-
PLAIN their action to greenback con-
stituency if the case of Lowe vs..
Wheeler of Alabama is reported favor
ably at the same time, and the repub-
licans vote solidly against the claims OF
the general to his seat The reasons
of the delay will now appear evident to
the most obtuse. With the strongest
case of republican vs.. bourbon and
greenbacker VS.. bourbon brought
forward at once, there will be little
difficulty to get the quorum when the
Virginia readjusters join the allies with
two more votes, which the can always
be dependent upon to do. All they
ask is to see a bourbon head rise in
front of them, and Mahone's men will
fight. Warm work may be looked for
soon now.

Cornelius Vanderbilt.
COMMITTED SUICIDE, SUNDAY.

1OMMl IIEp SOb51ltk, SUNDAY.
New York, April Cornelius J.
Vanderbilt, who made himself famous
few years ago, by contesting the will
Of his father, the late Commodore
Vanderbilt deliberately shot himself
this afternoon about . o'clock, while
he was lying sick abed. in the Glen
ham hotel, Fifth avenue, between
Twenty-first and twenty streets.
The shot took effect in the right tenn
pie, and the unfortunate man died
shortly before Z o'clock this evening.
The discharge Of the pistol attracted
the attention of Mr.. George Ter
ry, Mr.. Vanderbilt's companion.
VINO was i'll the adjoining room
at the time, and also that OF Judge f.
o. Perrin, who Immediately hurried
into the apartment, and found the de-
ceased stretched across the bed in an
unconscious condition, with blood
streaming from the hole in his temple,
and the weapon lying alongside him
near his right hand.
As soon az it had become certain
that ,he wound was serious one, the
relatives Of the dying man were called
to his bedside, and remained with him
until he expired. Mr.. VIM. II. Van
derbilt, the suicides brother, was the
first To respond to the summons. He
was quickly followed by Mr.. Terrence,
his brother-in- law aud several nephews,
who remained at the motel until Cor
nelius died.
From ,he moment that Mr.. Wander
bilt fired the fatal shot until his lips
were sealed in death he did not utter a
word. He had never threatened or
ever intimated that he Intended taking
his life, and on that account he was not
watched by his companion or friend.
For the past twenty years Mr.. Wander
bilt has been sufferer from epilepsy,
and had frequently been stricken down
in the street in an epileptic fit.
Mr. Perrin, an inmate friend, said he
did not think Mr.. Vanderbilt was in any
financial difficulty, for, since the re-
ported compromise with his brother in
the viii contest, he had received from
him, it was understood, a large amount
Of money-st least 81 100000. Nor did
he think he had been specializing.

MULTITUDES MIGRATING THITHER.
FORT KEoGH, NJ. r., April 4.-The
excitement about the McGinnis mines
continues to increase. Agent Leman,
just IN from the mines, says that the
placers have been found to extend over
ten miles of territory and are rich in
gold. Many of the miners are too poor
to work their claims. Water is very
scarce, but could be had from the
creeks if capital could be obtained to
build bitches. Goods Of all kinds are
scarce and high. No change less than
twenty-five cents is made for any arti.
Gle. Some large nuggets have been
taken out. A new town, Maidensville,
has been aid out already and contains
about one hundred houses. A mine
on top of Judith Mountain is very rich
IN silver. The country is fine agricul-
tural region and number of fa1ms
have been opened. One farmer sold
his crop of potatoes to the miners for
$4,000. Hundreds of people are crowd
ing to the mines. Merchants are on
the way with goods and roads are be-
ing built to the mines from the Mis-
souri, and Yellowstone rivers.

THEY WILL RESIST THE NEW LAW.
WASHINGTON. April 4.-The Utah
commission, provided for in the anti
polygamy bill, will be appointed by the
president some time in April. 1t is
evident from the spirit already indicat-
ed among the Mormons here, that they
intend to make stubborn passive re
sIstance. Mr.. Cannon said, when ask
ed what he thought would be tie policy
of his people, that he could only speak
for himself, as he had not been IN COM
munication with them. He said there
would be no resistonce. The policy Of
the Mormons would be to await the
proceedings Of the government, and
defend themselves in the courts as they
can. They will not give the slightest
opportunity for any one to charge them
with being rebellious. He says there
will be great suffering in Utah this
summer on account of this persecu-
ton, as ne calls it. Taking his own in

CANNON AND EDNUSDs.
Mr.. Cannon said he had had quite
number of conversations with Judge
Edmunds. He had asked Mr.. Ed
munds why they did not incorporate In
the bill q punishment for adultery as
punishment for bigamy or polygamy
as the case might be. He said to Mr..
Edmunds:
Under your bill l cannot have my
wives legitimateiy, but if / see fit to
keep them illegiti;nateIy as mistresses,
your bill does not punish them.
In reply Mr.. Can aon represented
Judge Edmunds as saying that congress

put down polygamy as te break down
the Mormon system of theocracy which
he thought was entirely in conflict with
the institutions of this country, and
much more dangerous than the princi-
pie OF polygamy by limited number

WORSE THAN A TRIANGULAR TUssLR.
CHICAGO, H., April s. The fight be-
tween the Chicago & Northwestern and
Milwaukee & st. Paul against the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, caused by
the establishment by the latter road of
a road to the northwest via Albert Lee,
goes brayely on with no prospects Of an
early settlement, and the Northwest
ern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul seem TO be determined to drive
the Rock Island from the northwestern
territory, and the Rock Island is equal
ly determined to stay in that territory,
and is using every means as its COM
mand to divert all the business it can
over its new line. The Rock Island is
suffering severely by the cutting OF
rates by the Northwestern on Des
Moines freight. Business to that
point is being taken at from
5 to 124 cents, while the regular rate u
about 30 cents. As the Rock Island
does not strike any leading points on
the Northwestern, il is unable to retail
ate. The Rock Island now threatens
that if the Northwestern continues ITS
fight on Des Moines business, it will
withdraw from the Iowa pool and cut
the rates to Council Bluffs. By doing
this. however, the Rock Island is likely
to get into trouble with the Burlington
& Wabash also, as these roads are rs
much interested in tie Council Bluffs
trade as the Northwestern. It is proba-
bly, due to this fact that the Rock Island
has not before now Withdrawn from the
same pool.

THE NOTED BANDIT.
Jesse James Shot and Killed st ST
Joseph Missouri Robert Ford One
of His own Gang Does the Deed

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April IA great
sensation was created in this city this
| morning by the announcement that
Jesse James the notorious bandit and
train robber had been shot and killed
here. The news spread with great
rapidity, but the most of people read
| 1t with doubts until the investigation
established the fact beyond question.
then the excitement became more and
more intense and crowds of people
rushed to the part ofthe city where the
| shooting took place, anxious to view
the body laid out and learn the par
| tlculars, in small frame shanty in the
south part of the city not far from the
Worlds hotel, where Jesse James had
| lived with his wife since some time in
| November last. Robert and Charles.
Ford, two of his gang, have made it
their headquarters at his house, and
Charles, it is said, had lived with him
i'll that shanty ever since November.
| Rober tarrlved about ten days ago, and
the three have been making preparat-
ions for raiding expedition, on which
they were to start tonight. James
and the two Fords being in the front
room about 8 o'clock this morning, the
former took off his belt and laid his
pistols on the bed, and was preparing
to wash himself when Robert sprang
up behind and sent bullet through
his BRAIN The ball entered the back
of his head at the base of the right
brain, coming out over the eye. The
Ford brothers at once made known
what they had done and gave them
selves up. They are now under guard
at the court house. The body of
james was conveyed to an undertaken,
where it was prepared for burial and
where photograph was taken. James
wife has telegraphed to his mother the
news Of his death. A number of men
have identified the body, and there is
no question about it being Jesse James.
A Herald reporter viewed the body
at the undertaker's, when it was being
photographed. He was fine looking
man, apparently 40 years old, with a
broad forehead, and his physiogomy
was that of an intelligent as we'll rs a
resoluto and daring man. The house
where he lived, and in which ne was
killed, has the appearance of an armo-
ry. A number of guns and pistols, in
Guiding repeating rifle and a needle
gun and navy revolver, with a good
store of ammunition, were found there.
Jessie was in the habit of wearing two
belts, with brace of very fine revolvers
and twenty-five extra cartridges, and
in small stable near by were discover
ed several fine horses, the property of
James.
The Ford brothers claim they are
detectives, and that they have been on
James for track long time. 1t is be-
lieved they were with James in the
Blue Cut robbery, and they were infu-
enced in killing him by hoping to get
the reward which have been offered
for James, dead or alive, by the COVER
