CONLEY's REMOVAL.
The Ex-POstmaster OF Atlanta Asks a
Question and Is Answered.

WASHINGTON, September - Conley,
late postmaster mt Atlanta, Ga, wrote
letter to the Postmaster-Generalf four days
since, demanding the reasons for his
(Conley's) removal as postmaster. The
Postmaster-General has written rather
sharp reply, in which he says that before
he removed Conley he had conclusive evil
dence that the latter had not only retained
in his office, but had promoted clerks
whom he knew to be dishonest. He adds
that in view OF what recently passed be-
tween Conley and an inspector of the
Postoffice Department, he is surprised that
the former should now ask why he was re-
moved The allusion IS supposed to be to
the admission OF delinquency by Conley
to the inspector, and reported by the lat
ter to the Postmaster-G General.

Terrible Death.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-At 5 o.
clock this morning Henry L. Fenner,
a young actor, formerly of the Arch
Street Theatre Company poured coal
oil over his garments, set fire to them
and while declaiming passionate
quotation from Macbeth fell dead
his form being blackened, roasted
mass. The act was committed dur
ing q fit of insanity caused by great
physical suffering. Fenner was un-
married and lived with his father at
No. 1884 Ward street. He had been
suffering acutely from Bright's dis
ease for two years. During the past
four or five months his maiady be-
came aggravated and his mind wav-
cred at times. Within week symp-
toms of insanity grew SO apparently
that a close watch had to be kept to
prevent the patient from doing some
injury to himself or wandering away
from home. About 5 O'Clock this
morning Fenner, in his night clothes
stole noiselessly from his bed room
past two sleeping sentinels, and
going to the cellar, found a can of
coal oil. He then deluged himself
from head to foot with the infiamable
stuff, wentinto the yard, and applied
the match. In a faw minutes his
father and the friends who had been
acting as watchers were startled by
screams and yells from the madman
They rushed to the yard, and as
quick as possible Fenner was seized
and a physician was called in. The
sufferer when asked why he had
committed the horrible deed, said;
Il did it in fun, and while repeating
another quotation he fell over dead

A $1,000 Foot Race.

PoFTsvILLE, Pa, June THE
100-yard foot race at Mahoning City
this afternoon, between Harry Lewis
of Parsons, Luzern county, and Will
liam Miley of Summit Hill, Carbon
county, for 81 600, drew an immense
crowd. Owing to a heavy storm the
race was postponed for several hours.
The track was heavy, and slow time
was the result. Lewis took the lead
from the start, and after going seven
ty-five yards turned round to look
for his competitor. He won by four
yards in 1 / minutes. Miley slipped
at the pistol shot and lost several
yards. He had the bad side of the
track also. About $4,000 changed
hands on the result. Wheat, the
colored printer of Pittsburg, challeng-
ed the winner to run for 81, 1000, but
the offer was declined.
