The mystery in regard to the muir
der of Mrs. Carlton, which occurred
in Watertown, Mass, about the last
of March, is liable to be solved and
the murderer brought to justice. One
Roger Amero, a Frenchman whose
home was in Nova Scotia, but who
had worked about Boston, was
traced to Digby, N. S., and there
appears to be the strongest circum-
stantial evidence against him. The
Waterman on the Fitchburgh r. r.
who saw him and had conversation
with him at Watertown on the night
of the murder, and the lady ticket
agent and her daughter who sold him
a ticket to Boston on the Sunday
night of the murder, went to Nova
Scotia and swore that they knew him
to be the man who was seen by them
on the fatal night. The murderer
left an envelope in the hallway where
the murder was committed, the du
plicate of which could not be found
in Boston OF vicinity, but one exactly
like it was found in Amero's valise
Other evidence which seems to be in
controvertable was found, and tn,

can not afford to permit crowd of
revelling and treating tipplers to
call attention to the unlawful portion
of his business. As a general thing
the drinkers must sneak, one or two
at time, into some back room or
closet, or dark cellar. The business
of selling liquor is under distinct
ban, legal and social, even where the
law is enforced with only fitful and
easy pressure. This must, and as an
actual fact does, operate as a con-
slant repressive force. Doubtless
there are single bar rooms in the
larger cities, that sell more liquor
than the 40 places of sale licensed
under the Federal law, in this city.

number of such places, should not

To the facts and suggestions in
our articles on temperance work,
should be added one important con-
sideration. That is that the large
and even alarming number of places
licensed under the United States law
to sell liquor, in this city and others
of the larger towns in our State, by
no means represents as large an
amount of drinking, as such a pro-
portion of drinking places represents
in many towns in other States, or as
such number of grogshops would
represent here, under license law.
The forty-nine places which have
procured United States licenses in
this city, for instance, include a mum
Der of wholesale and retail drug
stores-to which the term grogshor
does not apply-and the saloons and
eating places which constitute the
larger part of the number do a mucl

The construction of three new cru

with the completion of three ironclads
that have been long time in course
of construction, were ordered by the
last Congress, and it is regarded as
quite an event in this country. The
whole work is small affair compared
to the magnitude of the naval con-
struction under way by the French
republic. The French admiralty are
now having thirty-one vessels con-
structed in the Government dockyards
and fifteen in private yards. Fourteen
of them are ironclads, and are esti-
mated to cost 5000, 900. The

Timothy Kelly, another PhGnix
Park assassin, has been convicted of
murder on his third trial and SEN
fenced to be hanged. This result
probably is due in part to the addi-
tional evidence furnished by Delaney
and Caffrey, who pleaded guilty some
days ago. Delaney declared that
Kavanagh's and Carey's testimony
was true, and as he had then little
chance of escaping the gallows he
probably told the truth. There is no
doubt of Kelly's guilt, despite his
protestations of innocence. and no
sympathy needs to be wasted on him.
1t is highly satisfactory, however,
that verdict has been obtained in
his case without recourse to a COM
mission of judges or change of We
nue. to Belfast, as was suggested.
The varying issues in these Dublin
trials thus far have sufficiently closed
the mouths of the enemies of the
Government who were ready to CRY
out against packed juries and unfair
judges; but if Kelly had been con-
victed without jury, OF in any place
but Dublin, the cutlery would have
been tremendous.
