Cornell to sign the bill relieving the Ele-
waited Railroad and Pacific Steamship
Companies from certain large assessments
in New York. Instead Of retracting any
thing it said last week, or modifying it,
the journal says the ex-senator occupied
several hours presenting his views on the
/ Elevated Railway tax bill to the Governor.
A certain gentleman, known to be on init
mate terms with the ex-senator, also made
esrnest appeals to sign the bills. The Gov
eyuor was Informed by go-betweens that a
block If new stock was TO be issued, and
that if the Governor would comply with
Gould and Couhling's wishes they would
not only reinstate him in ConklinSs
affections, but would secure him the
friendly Offices Of such newspapers as are
owned or controlled by Gould. In the
case of the Pacific Mail tax bill, the Jour
nal declares. in addition to what 1t SAID
last week. that two Of Gould and Conk-
/ liuG's g~o-betweens followed the Governor
10 Saratoga on the LIST OF August and there
piled him with opportunities to sign.
This they did s~quarely in Conkling's name
and behalf. In making these charges and
exposures the Journal is suspected, with
good reason, of wanting to injure Cornell
! as well as Conklins. Cornell has I'M
doubtedly authorized the statements, but
they are injurins his prospect Of renomi-
nation rather than helping it.
The aacMahOne Assassination.
MoUNTIPULAsCo Ills. Aug. 22.-McMa-
hone, the farmer who, with his hired men,
fell victims to assassins near here, was the
owner of a fine farm, where he dwelt in a
quiet and retired way, and had cur
lated a large fortune. He was a bachelor
of 40, and did his own Housekeeping. John
Carlock. aged 10, and Bob Matheny, aged
90, were the only men about the place, and
both were quiet and Industrious. They
were last seen on Thursday week stacking
wheat. The neighbors observing their
absence searched for them on Saturday
and Sunday, and finally found all three
bodies fostering in the rank weeds about
the house. McMahone's throat was cut
from ear to ear, the head being almost
severed from the body, the cash extending
clear down to the spinal column. There
was no shape to his battered head, about
which a cloth had been tied. The bodies
Of Carlock and Matleny were covered
with clotted gore and their throats cut.
Their limbs were bound with twine taken
from a reaning machine, and they were
gagged and blindfolded with cloths. The
house was ransacked, 81, 600 taken, and
the household goods broken. The Coro-
ner's Jury decided that the murder was
committed by unknown persons, but the
country is all ablaze. Lynch law will be
inevitable if the murderers can be secured.
Suspicion rests upon a man who worked
for the farmer SOM months ago, and who
was seen on the farm on Thursday. The
footprints Of two men walking single file
were discovered and followed two miles
across lots until the trail was lost in the
main road. There are no other clues. The
assassins had watered and fed the horses,
and taken other precautions to prevent the
discovery OF the crime. Jake, who Is sus.
