Lord CoIsridge i'm noston.

BOSTON, Sept. S.-A large company met at
the Parker House this evening, at the banquet
rendered by the city government to Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge. Mayor Palmer presided
and spoke briefly. He then introduced Lord
Coleridge, who said that he recognized the tes-
timonial as relating to the English people aud
not himself. Americans are wrong in saying
they have no history. You have had Webster
and have Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Rus
sell Lowell and Howells Those men make
your history. England and America are one
in language, one in law, one in blood, and
what God has joined together as we are joiRed
/ feel certain man cannot put asunder.
Lord Coleridge was followed by Gov. Butler
NJ. Gaubert and others. Among the distin-
guished guests present were all the representa-
tives of foreign governments now in the city,
Oliver Wendell Holiness several justices of the
Supreme Court, Hon. P. A. Collins and many
distinguished lawyers and members of the city
government and of the Governors Council,
and Senators Pugh and George of the Senate
committee on labor and education.
Governor BufIer's Guests.
Mrs. Jackson, the widow of Stonewall
jackson, arrived in Boston from New York
Saturday evening. The lady and her daugh-
ter are guests of Gov. Butler. Sunday, at
breakfast, were Gov. Jarvia and wife, Lord
Coleridge, Mrs. jackson, Mr. McGehee, Lient
j. Mcclellan, Miss Julia Jackson and j. D.
johnson, at which Gov. Butler presided. Hon.
q. Coleridge spent the day with Mr.. Sidney
Bartlett. The gentlemen, including Gov. But
Ter and Lord Coleridge, on invitation OF Judge
Devens, partook of lunch at the Union Club,
and afterwards the party drove through the
suburbs,

THE BATH MURDER.
Suspicious Movements of an Unknown
Man.

A man suspected of having bsen connected
with the murder OF Officer Lawrence in Bath
can not be found. He was in Bath last week,
gave his name as John Adams, and stated that
he had been in Lewiston numbering houses,
and that he had made plan of the city and
wished to do the same thing in Bath. He
visited number of houses and told the people
that he was numbering the houses on the au-
thority Of the city government. In some cases
people allowed him to put up the numbers and
paid him 80 cents. No such man is known In
Lewiston, and it was soon discovered that hewas
an imposter. He came into the police station one
night and got permission to sleep there. Con-
duetor Dillon met the fellow on his train out
of Bath last week. The man was out of funds
but represented that he was about to make q
plan of Bah, number the houses, etc. and CT
this story got ride to Brunswick, promising
future payment of fare. The fellow was next
seen by Mr.. Dillon Saturday afternoon, hay
ing tickes to Lewiston and return, bat was
still unable to pay for his previous ride. He
got off at Brunswick and the conductor did not
see him afterwards, but he was seen in Bath
on the afternoon of the murder. There was q
swindler about town the latter part Of last
WooAi anu seen on 'FRONT.' street Monday night
within less that two hours OF the shooting, in
company with two other men, and no one
knows what has become Of him. His appear
ance, the fact that he told about leaving tools
in Lewiston, his swindling operation in putting
numbers on peoples doors, and the fact that
he disappeared at the time of the murder, is
very much against him. Further, this man
cannot be far off, as he was dead broke and
could not travel on the cars or steamers. 1t is
thought that he was the man chased into the
woods Tuesday morning. The man was about
35 years old, fve feet eight inches in height,
would weigh about 165 pounds, rather muddy
complexion, heavy dark moustache, dark eyes,
had on dark clothes, coat somewhat lighter
than the rest of the suit, yellow faded straw
had with round top, soiled linen, was quick In
his movements, and did not impress one favor
ably.
The two Brunswick men who were arrested
on suspicion have been released.

JUDGE BLACK.
Pssthumous Reply to Jeff Davis's Upon
Him.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 9-The Press tomor-
row will print seven column article giving
Judge Blacks posthumous reply to Jeff Davis
recent attack upon him. Judge Black main.
tains his former position in relation to Seces-
sionlsts, and is very severe upon the acts of the
ex-Confederate President and those who acted
with him. He asserts that Davis was talking
peace and planning war and was always trying
oget Buchanan to yield to the demands OF Sc
cesslonlsts. The most important part OF the
article relates to his association with Buchanan
during thhe last three months of his admins
tration. The differences between them are
described and much of the history of that peri
cd set out in forcible and entertaining words,
but the most important feature of this import
ant article is Judge Blacks dramatic story
of the Cabinet crises of 1860, which is given in
full. He defines the scope of Buchanan's a reply
to the South Carolina commission and why he
was going to leave the Cabinet. His ultimation
to the President that moment is given in full
His reasons for his acts at that time nave
never before been published are herein out
lined 1t tells of Buchanan's position upon
secession and deniss that his letter to the South
Caroline commission acknowledge the right of
a state 10 secede. The article is a valuable
contribution to history and places Judge Black
in new light before the country.
