The suit was brought by Luken Nevn against the

the plaintiff had no power TO force accommoda-

letter written to him by Mr.. Blaine in March, 1876
At that time Mr.. Blaine was charged with
being Catholic tor the purpose. as his
friends believed, OF defeating hts presidential
aspirations. Mr.. Blaine, after referring to his
Presbyterian connections in the letter in Dues
ton, said as to the statements then published: 81
will never consent to make any public declaration
upon the subject. and for two reasons: First
because I ablfor the Introduction OF any
thing that looks like religious test or
qualification for Office in republic, where
perfect freedom Of conscience is the brthright of

pressure will draw me into any avowa OF hostility
or unfrendlinesS to Catholics, though Ihave never

Young GIRL SUSPECTED OF DOUBLE MURDER
Intelligence reached LynchOurg, Va, yesterday of
the poisoning Of Mrs. Jonathan Monroe and her
son, Warren Monroe, near Brookneal, Campbell
county, Va, several nights since. The poison was
administered in coffee, and both mother and son
died from its effects short while after drinking
the conee. Suspicion attaches to a niece OF the
poisoned woman, who was visiting at the house at
the time OF the occurrence, but no arrest had been
made at last accounts. 1t Is rumOred that the girl
meant only to poison the mother, in the absence
OF the son from the house, in order to remove an
obstacle OF marriage with the latter. Warren re-
turned UNEXPECTEDLY and was also poisoned

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.--An investiga ttcn was
set down before the coroner to-day in the case OF
James G.. Morris. who died on February 4th, 1892
The cause OF his death was supposed to have been
gastric fever, but the father, Simon Norris made
an affidavit a month ago that his sons widow,
Anna Morris, had informed him that she adlainis-
tered poison to her husband. The theory was
borne out by the suddeuness OF the
young mans death. Two weeks ago
the body was eXhumed and sent to Prot.
Reese for an analysis. This has been completed,
and the Professor, while refusing to give the re-
suits, says that important developments Will be
revealed. James Morris and his brother Frank
who dthd on January 22d last, had their lives In
Sured In favor OF The formers wife, and Frank s
death, which was also sudden, was attributed to
laudanum poisoning The case was not heard to-
day on account of the Illness of Mrs. Morris, but
the inquest Will be held next week
