Murdered. .

DETROIT, Dec. lS.-About two weekH
age, late at night, Cornelius Flynn had a
fight with fellow-employe, and was
struck on the head with an iron bar. He
went to the hospital, but apparently recov-
ering, afterwards went to his uncle's
house on Humboldt avenne. His condi-
ton soon became worse and he was re-
moved to the hospital, where he died
two days ago, after suffering terribly
about the head and neck. His death
was said to have resulted from erysipelaS,
and the burial was to take place to-day.
This morning the Coroner stopped the
funeral to hold an inquest, which re-
yealed the fact that his skull had been
fractured. His asSailant, Thomas Davis,
was arrested at the time Of the fight, but
afterwards released and his whereabouts
are now unknown,

WAS TIE sEoREr pErRAYED
A Suspicion That Some Copndant Expose
the Ax.premier's Plan.

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-There is a puzzling
abundance OF descriptions OF Glsdstone's
schemetor granting Home Rule to Ireland.
They are go widely different that it is ev.
ident that they have no common origin
and they may all be guess work. The
Parnellites are happy over one fact re-
garding these forecasts. Each one OF
them, including the least favora-
BILE, comedies more to ireland than
any British party would have
granted or Parnell would have ventured
to demand even few weeks ago. The
Parnellites believe that Gladstone has not
yet formulated his scheme in his own
mind, and they suspect that he has al.
lowed inklingS Of 1t to escape for the pur-
pose Of having them published and criti-
cized, by which means he may be guided
in the completion Of the scheme. It is
clear that the scheme has not yet
been reduced to writing or pro-
posed to anybody in set terms. II
Is believed that the Standard ex.
posure, although mildly repudlAted by
Gladstone, contains many elements OF
truth, and that It's publication was due to
the betrayal OF parts OF the programme
by some one OF Gladstone's recent guests,
with whom the subject Of home rule was
discussed. 0pinien is divided as to
whether this leaky confident was Lord
Spencer, Lord Granville or Mr.. @. T.
Dike-Ackland, q friend OF Gladstone's,
who has just been reelected for Cornwall.

hat Herbert Gladstone, few days ago,

'osAible, but not probable. II Mr., Glad
tone desired to take any newspaper into
lis confidence it would, undoubtedly, be
lis own organ, the Daily Nea. That
,aper has not yet spoken, and until il
loes it may be assumed that all forecasts
II the new scheme are more or less un.
authorized speculation.

MONTEREY, MEx., Dec. 1S.-The where.

his friends that he was c6ndning himself

now leaks out that he Is prisoner in the

eral Government. Much indignation is
felt at this second breach Of faith on the
part OF General Reyes. hat
The revolutionary forces, which have
been in this city for some days are gradu-
ally leaving in small bands under sub
commanders. One OF these companies, on
arriving at sabinas, north OF this city, en-
deavored to enforce the municipal au-
thorities to pay sum OF money. A fight
occurred in which the revolutionists were
defeated, losing their captain. Fears are
entertained that these small bands will
resolve themselves into banditti, greatly
TO the detriment Of travel in the country.
General Reyes, Acting Governor, has
appointed Manuel Rodriguez, late chief OF
the revoluttonists, as Federal Alcalde OF
Lampasas, in the Northern part OF the
State: This is great surprise to the citi-
zens here, but is considered as o stroke OF
good policy on the part Of the Govern
ment.

The Tere Haute Erpra, of Thursday
has the following;
The new nail mill company was given
an intimation few days ago that the
Terre Haute Iron and Nail works would
entertain negotiations looking toward the
sale OF the works to the new company.
The new company appointed a committee
to confer with the Nail Works company.
The company met Mr.. Nippert and other
stockholders Tuesday, and were informed
shat the works would be turned over to
the new company for $l50,0O0. They
stated to the company that the mill cost
o,0OO, and that they looked on the offer
as very reasonable. The committee have
reported to the stockholders Of the new
company, but the proposition is not re-
ceived iavorably. The members OF the
new company say that machinery is
greatly reduced in price, and that they
can duplicate the Terre Haute Iron and
Nail works for less money.

There are no features from st. Louis ex.

which is believed to promise an early Gd-

In the northwest, at Minneapolis and

LONDON, Dec. ls.-Another amusing
episode in the art life Of Paris has just de-
veloped in addition to the matters connect.
ed with the Louvre OF which csbled you
yesterday. The Paris Salon has adopted q
new rule which ought to have been put in
force long ago as = mesns oiselt.protection.
The discontent Of artists at the work Of
the hanging committee has usually found
expression in Paris in way, not at all be.
boming to the artists themselves and cauS.
ing great annoyance to the gentlemen in
charge OF the Rfiairs Of tho Salon. II has
frequently happened that painter whose
work has been accepted and who ia, Of
course, unable to Withdraw II. after it has
been placed on the walls, finding his can
ysaS hung too high to suit him and con.
sidering that he has been ill.used, has re-
sorted 70 the trick Of deiaclng his picture.
As this mars the appearance OF the Salon,
1t has been customary in such cases to re.
move the picture. so the artist gained his
point by q puerilG action. The new rule
is that the deiaced picture shall be left
hanging in its place to the painters shame,
and that the offending artist saall be pro
hibited, temporarily, from exhibiting any
other works in the Sofon.
