On Thursday night both men met at
Susan Marshall's and exchanged hostile
words. This afternoon, about four o'clock,
Baldwin, while in bar.room, drinking,
saw Watkins pass in the direction OF the

him, and, overtaking him just in front OF
the house, shot at him twice. Watkins
retreated a few steps, fell, and died in a

Watkins fall he placed his pistol against
his own temple and fired, the ball entering
the right temple and coming out at the left

PHILADELPHIA, March l5.-Mrs. Eliza
McIlhenny is an invalid over 70 years old,
and lives at No. $50 Ringgold street. Re-
Gently Mrs. McIlhenny broke her leg by u
fall, and has been visited by many sym.
thetic neighbors. Yesterday afternoon
a strange woman, about 95 years cd,
OF light build, wearing straw hatand dark
garments, entered the house unceremoni'
ously and took seat by the couch of tAe
invalid. Almost the first remark made by
the visitor, as she heaved sigh, was "1'm
wretched. I've been working out in the
air, and I'm glad TO get inside. wish that

that she had been lying sick and helpless
for several weeks, but she was quite sure
that life had pleasures for her yet, and that
her prayer was that her life might be long

and clenched her hands, exclaiming, ITO

was greatly alarmed, and said to-day, re.
ferring TO the recent attack on Mrs. May:

Cincinnati, Louisville and other centers at
less price than New England manutact-
urers can afford. The Southerner is nearer
the Western trade centers and 80 can reach
consumers at less cost for freight than can
the New Englander. Then, too, he deals
direct with the consumer, while the New
Englander, in accordance with time-honored
precedent, deals through commission
house in this city. The New England MAN.
ufacturers have discussed seriously the
proposition TO take their business out ofthe
hands OF the commission merchants of this
and other Eastern cities, and dealing as their
Southern competitors do direct with the con.
sumers. Their agents would. however, cost
them as much as their commissions TO the
ho lses in this city, and they find the
initial freight handicap and freight rates
after manufacture staring them in the face.
How, then, to maintain their supremacy In
the markets OF the West Is. the question
they are trying to solve. How to keep their
business In domestics and their Western
trade in their hands is the aim Of the COM
mission houses. Just here the freight rate
looms up as possible relief, and hence the
petition for reclassitication and lower rates.
The railroad interest here enters as another
factor in the trying problem. II the rail-
roads Of the East reduce the classification
OF domestics and thus lower the freight
rates, it would certainly afford relief, pro.
vided the Southern roads did not also re.
duce their classification and lower their

during the past fourteen hours. A negro
man reported that on Bob Meals place,

more fall in the river to produce any ma.

The river tonight shows a decline OF

the gauge, which is a total de.

be more rapid now, aud two

UNIoxrowN, March l5.-The talk Of the
town 10 day is the verdict Of the Dukes
murder trial. All other gossip has given
way to the severest denunciation Of the
Jury. Many Of the most prominent citi.
zens, who abstained from the general out
cry against the political complexion Of
those who were the final judges OF the law
and the evidence, now join in expressions
OF supreme indignation at the manner in
which the jury were selected. Those loud.
est in clamor are the Democrats, who
actually blush for shame. The acquittal Of
Dukes was foregone conclusion by
those who knew the inner workings
Of the trial. The remark made by
prominent leader OF the Demo.
cratic party 10 your correspondent on
Tuesday last, TO the effect that there were
men on the jury who would starye rather
than convict Nicholas Lyman Dukes, has
turned out true The political complexion
OF the Jury was not its worst feature. There
were men on it for whom ignoramus would
be mild term. Their conduct in the con-
sultation rooml OF the hotel where they
stopped was disgraCeful-it might be said
demoralized. When twelve men retire TO
their chamber with fellow beings life in
their hands, a certain amount OF gravity
and decorum is presumed to pervade their
actions. This presumption is inappliCable
TO the Jury which has justly reused indig.
nation in the heart OF every law.abiding
citizen.
To the personal knowledge OF the cor.
respondent they INDUCED in all kinds Of
levity. Hymn singing is a precedent
established by Jurors OF Allegheny county,
but the Jury which acquitted the man who
will doubtless undertake to frame laws for
the government OF our homes, went beyond
sacred melodies. The vilest medleys ever
put in rhyme were nightly sung in the
chamber where serious deliberation was
supposed to reign. Hon. W. II. Playford's
remark to the jury yesterday afternoon was
, seasonable one. Said the learned jurist:
"If you let this man 20 We will see you al
terward. The community at large will see
YOU, but shun your presence. Your names
shall be engroesed upon the memory OF
every father in the Commonwealth who
seeks to defend the honor and sanctity OF
his home"

WASHINGTON, March l5.-The important
scientific researches Of the geological sur
yey, which have heretofore been confined
to the Territories, are about to be extended
to the States; and hereafter the work will
be prosecuted on broader and more COM
prehensve plan. The object OF the survey
is to make an accurate presentation OF the
typographical, geological meteorological ,and
other natural resources ofthe United States
To perform this work thoroughly explora.
tions in the older States are necessary,
Recognizing this fact Congress, at the last
session, appropriated S2S0000 for the work
this year, and in the spring operations will
be begun in the States Of California, Colo
rado, Nevada, Minnesota, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ar
kansas, and Texas, beside the
usual work in the Territories. Ar
rangements have been perfected whereby
copies OF all the publications OF the geo.
logical survey will be sent through the ma
tional exchange to all the principal libraries
and scientific societies OF Europe. The
value Of such an exchange is demonstrated
by the fact that the circulation abroad oi

MlLkAuKRE, March l5-Ever since the
marriage Of Senator Tabor, Of Colorado,
and Miss Lizzie McCourt3 Of this gtate, at
Washington, few weeks since, society at
the lady's former home at Oshkosh has
been wrought up over the affair. The in.
terest which has been centred in the case
reached a climax to-day when Father
O'Malley, the leading Catholic priest at
Oshkosh, came out in a card declaring the
marrisge invalid. In his proclamation he
SAYS: "We were shocked to learn that even
Catholics were present at the marriage and
never informed the officiating clergyman
had a husband living. In this respect they
committed grievous fault In remaining
silent when they should have made known
the impediment"
