MONTICELLO, Aug. 20-Alvia Spencer, very
wealthy bachelor, died very suddenly, on Feb
81, 1882 About the time of his death seven
head of cattle, along with $3.50 in money, sud-
denly disappeared. Nothing serious was thought
of this, until short time ago. when Perry
Spencer, brother of the deceased secured the
services Of detective, who has been working
on the case for the past two months. Enough
was discovered to warrant the coroner in ex-
huming the body, which was done on Monday.
The body, having lain in the ground
for two years and six months was
found to be in perfect state of
preservation, as if only inferred yesterday. The
entrails were then turned over to prominent
chemist for analysis It is alleged that Mr..
Spencer died from poisoning, and the result of
the analysis will be looked for anxiously. The
detective still remains here, and rs guarding the
suspected ones, Just one week from the time
of Mr. Spencers death sister died very sudden
~, under similar circumstances. All the parties
interested are of the first families of the county
1t is hoped that all rumors viii prove false, but
the public will be at fever heat until the true
state of affairs is known.

Charles Hairless a farmer residing Eve miles
west of the city to rod his barn and dwelling,

ter placing his name to the paper,

to him that the contract price ($3 75) was ridic-
ulously low, so he came here to-day, and, meeting
the member of the party with whom he had bar
gained iLouis Grayl asked to see the contract
Gray refused to produce it at first, but Hairless,
who is a strong, hurley fellow, took him by the
throat and compelled him to hand it over. 1t
was then discovered by the wording that any
amount desired could be collected on the CON
tract. This occurrence took place upon the

surrounded by an indignant and ex-

with difficulty, and after one of them had
been pummeled considerably, that they made
their way to their room in the hotel for safety.
Upon the outside excitement ran high, and it re-
quired prompt and decided action upon the part
of the cooler heads to quel1 the disturbance. At
one time rush was made for the entrance to the
hotel, but the resistance met at the door ms
sufficient to keep the crowd back. It was finally
agreed that if the fellows would leave upon the

New York, March 4.-Hon. John
G. Perry was born in Sullivan county,
New York, April 81, 1882. He was ed
ucated in the Monticello academy, and
afterward studied law at Balston, Sar-
atoga county. He opened a law office
at Kingston where, on June 81, 1854.
he was appointed assistant district at
torney of Ulster county. In 1856 he
was nominated by the republicans for
district attorney OF his county, but
was defeated. The following year he
went to Brooklyn, and entered at once
into politics. In 1861 he ran for the
assembly, but was defeated. He was
elected in 1868, to the assembly, and
served through that and the following
year. He was ~reappolnted assistant
United States attorney OF the eastern
district of New York in 1865. He
served during his term as district at
torney, and in 1871 was elected state
senator from the third district. Seven

Perry has been a republican cince the

$4,000, and he enjoys beside this a fair

In addition to the information con-
tanned in the foregoing dispatch, which
came to hand at a late hour last night,
we learn from Capt. Mcintyre that
Judge Perry possesses two distinguished
characteristics to a remarkable degree,
remarkable ability as an attorney and
advocate and remarkable purity of
character. Capt. Mcintyre formerly
and for six years, practiced law at the
same bar with Judge Perry and speaks

Ecclesiastical Rowlnu.

New York. March 4.-The trustees
of DR.. Newman's church hold a stormy
meeting last night. The first sign of
trouble showed itself when Hopkins,
after fruitlessly endeavoring to offer a
resolution to appoint some ushers, re-
marked that the bloody flag seemed to
have been hung out and everybody was
''spoiling for a row." It was then an
nounced that the church owed $4,000
on a note due April /, but that there
was no money in the treasury after pay
ing DR.. Newman's salary. Hopkins
proposed that the receipts be devoted
to pay this debt, and the remainder
paid to DIR. Newman in lieu OF his SAL
airy. Trustee Corley remarked that
such a remark could only come from a
"Raneyite," to which Hopkins re-
torted by calling Corley "a tramp"
and 'idiot," who didn't know any bet
ter than to use such language. Corley
replied In the same interesting man
ner N for a few moments it was
thought that the meeting would have
to adjourn to the sidewalk to fight it
out. Peace was finally restored with
out occurs to violence, but no further
business was transacted and the board
adjourned.
