NEW YORK, May 26.-JOhn Carpenter,
an ex-convict, murdered his wife in
Michael Sweeney's saloon, at No. 355
Third avenue, this afternoon. He had pre-
viously tried to kill his sister-in-law,
Della Foster, who is supposed to be dam
gerously, if not fatally wounded, and then
attempted to kill himself by stabbing him
self several times. He has slight chances
of recovery. The murdered woman was

having mistaken her for his wife. For
this Otfense he was sent to State prison,
whence he only recently returned after
serving out his time. The woman he then
stabbed recovered. To-day he met his
wife and her sister on Third avenue. and
attacked them with a shOemaker's knife
on the crowded street. The wife ran. and
Carpenter plunged his knife twice into
his sister-in-law's neck, and she dropped
to the sidewalk. Mrs. Carpenter ran into
Michael Sweeney's saloon. Her husband
tried to follow her, but the door
was shut in his face. The
woman passed the screen in front
of the bar and sat down. Her husband
made his way into the saloon by side
door, rushed upon his wife, and, throwing
her upon the floor, began to plunge his
murderous knife into her body. He cut
her throat and stabbed her several times in
the right side, one of the blows severing
large artery near the heart.
The poor woman died almost instantly,
and the attack was so sudden that neither
Sweeney or McDonOugh, the only other
persons in the saloon, were able to inter
fere. After killing his wife Carpenter de-
liberately laid down on the floor beside
her dead body, and stabbed himself twice
in the abdomen. The police were hastily
summoned, and Della Foster and Carpen-
ter were sent to Bellevue Hospital.

BLAINFs DEATH sTRUGGLE.
The PIumed Knight Leaving No stone

The PIumed Knight Leaving No Stone
Unturned to Defeat Arthur.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The thoughts
of the Senators and Representatives of
both parties in Congress are largely di-
rected 10 the near approaching Republican
Convention at Chicago. The desperate
struggle between Arthur and Blaine is
the most fruitful topic of comment. The
town is full of politicians on their way
from the East and South to Chicago. They
are here comforting with the various can
didates and with Senators and Repre-
sentatives. Whether there be good reason
for it or not, the fact is unmistakable
that the general impression is that Ar
thur Will be stronger than Blaine at
Chicago, not only on the first
but also on the subsequent balots-if
there should be subsequent ballots. Two
out of every three OF the Republican Sem
ators and Representatives who will 90
from here to Chicago will be for Arthur
as against Blaine. Blaine and his mana
gers declare that no one will be nomi-
mated on the first or on the second ballot,
and it has leaked out that their programme
is not to show Blaine's full strength on
the first ballot, their object being to ma
nipulate their vote in such a manner as
to have Blaine grow stronger from
ballot to ballot. 1t appears to be
taken for granted that at the most oppor-
tune time LOgan's strength will be thrown
to Blaine. These two candidates are
working together in their efforts to capture
Southern votes. Logan is stronger than
Blaine among the cOlored delegates, and
Blaine's managers are aiding Logan in
the South. A squad of Southern delegates
reached here this morning, and they were
delighted with the attention shown them
by the managers and agents of
Arthur, Blaine, Logan and Sher-
man. During the afternoon two
of the North Carolina delegates were
on exhibition in LOgan's committee
room at the capitol. They avowed them
selves to be Logan men. Blaine declares
openly that he is determined at all haZ-
ards to defeat Arthur. A strong effort is
making by the friends Of John Sherman to
create the impression that he is the man
on whom all the opponents of Arthur will
unite, and that this programme is already
thoroughly understood and the combina-
tion already made. Arthurs friends saw
with much emphasis that on the second
ballot nearly all of the Massachusetts
and Connecticut delegates and a majority
Of the Michigan delegates will vote for
Arthur, and they insist that they know
what they are talking about. The can
didates are all busy day and night fixing
things. Blaine is as active as he was at
this stage of the proceedings in 1876 and
1880. The Blaine men are in flutter to-
night, owing to the fact that Don Came
ron is to be Aathur's guest at the White
House.

provides that cattle shall be
delivered monthly, and then only in
sufficient Quantity for the ensuing month.
The injustice of this regulation is ap-
parent when it is known that under it
four or five large stock men Will be able
to control the entire trade. The Sioux
river agency requires 14,00O,O 600 pounds of
beef year, White Pine Agency 12,0O0.-
600 pounds, and the others in like proper
tiOn. To deliver cattle monthly as REQUIRED
under the new regulation, cattle men at
a distance, say in Texas, from these
agencies would have to drive their cattle
through three or four feet of snow during
eight months of the year. Four or
five larger dealers in Chicago and St.
Louis have ranches in the vicinity of all
of the agencies of the North, and can.
if this amendment is adopted, charge
what they please for their beef, as they
will have an absolute monopoly of the
business. Notwithstanding the fact that
this new regulation has not yet become a
law, II. Price, the Indian Commissioner,
has written a circular letter under date of
May IA, 1884, announcing the change as a
matter OF fact. This letter, as well as the
object of the scheme, has been called to
the attention of Senator Dawes, a member
of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.
and all the facts in the case will be pre-
sented to this committee tomorrow.
