MUS HUNTER ADMITTED TO BAIL

AUS HUNTER ADMITTED TO BAIL.
In the case of A. Estella Hunter, charged
with the murder of her husband Charles f.
Hunter in June last, and by Justice Abbott
committed 10 Jail in Keene 10 await the action
OF the grand jury in October, hearing WAS
had at keene, Tuesday evening, before jus.
tees Allen and Smith of the supreme court
upon her application to be admitted To bail
pending further proceedings. Mrs Hunter
was represented by Col. Haskins of Brattle-
boro, aud the state by Attorney General Tap
pan and Solicitor Dole of Keene The
evidence taken before the Justice upon the
examination of Mrs. Hunter was read, and a
petition signed by the coroner and the jury
who attended the inquest, together with many
OF the most prominent and we'll known oiti.
zens OF Hinsdale, was also presented The
court, after short deliberaiion, decided TO
admit her to bail in the sum of $1,000, which
was furnished by @. j. Amidon, Geo. Well
man, Newton SteArns aud Nathan NJ WOr-
den, all Of Hinsdale. The court considered
that the evidence failed to raise any strong
presumption of guilt, and hence, under the
statutes of this state, the offence was baa-
BILE. There seems 10 be growing conviction
among those who heard the evidence aud are
most conversant with the facts, that il WAS a
case Of suicide, instead OF murder. This is
quite evident from the character of the wound
and Hunters previous threats 10 take his own
life, some OF which were made az recent AS
the day and evening of the alleged murder.
Upon urgent solicitation Col. Haskins
has consented to come TO Hinsdale at the close
OF the Gen. Grant memorial exercises In Brat
tleborO ON Saturday afternoon, in which no
gives the Grafton, and repeat the address at
the exercises to be held here at o'clock.

AT the recent meeting of the Anti Slavery
society in London, Mr.. Stanley urged the
raising of fund to carry on the work of
suppressing the slave-trade in the centre of
Africa, as the most appropriate memorial
with which Gen. Gordon could be honored
His scheme would be to take up the work
which Gordon 'yearned to his deathday to
accomplish" and approach the Bahr Ga
zelle province, the bunting grounds of the
slave-traders, not by the Nile route, but by
way of the Congo and its afiluent, the Biyorre.
The King of the Belgians has now pushed
his posts up TO within about $50 miles of this
region, and to this point from England, GOOO
miles, one can travel almost as safely as from
London to Liverpool. BY the route proposed,
Mr.. Stanley says there il water carriage for
the conveyance of stores to within seventy
miles Of the frontier, or watershed, between
the Nile and the Congo. BY establishing a
depot at this point to maintain communica-
ton with Europe by sparing no pains to
secure friendly relations with the tribes, and
by proceeding slowly and prudently, Mr..
Stanley believes, as Gordon did, that the ma
tives of the rich, fertile, well wstered country,
which thus cries to be delivered from the
raids of the slave-traders, may be rescued
from their doom.

According to story which comes from
New York, Mayor Grace's offer of Central
Park as burial place for Gen. Grant was
made by him for political effect and entirely
on his own responsibility. Mr.. Grace is
candidate for his party's next nomination
for governor, as ia also Mr.. Joseph w. Drexel
who owns the cottage where Grant died Mr.
Grace thought Mr.. Drexel's offer of the cot
tage for museum for Grant relics was meant
to further his political chances, and at once
put in the Central Park offer without a
thought that it would be accepted. The al
dermen hastily ratified the mayors unauthor-
lied act, but the park commissioners never
approved of the idea, and three days had not
elapsed before the knowledge poured
in upon the mayor from all directions that
he had made a serious mistake, and he
became az anxious to keep the grave out of
Central Park as he had been to dig il there.
He was particularly scared by the choice of
the mall by the Grant family and used all his
tact in turning the decision TO the Riverside
park, which was finally settled upon Sober
minded New Yorkers who have no wish to
trade on dead mans grave, fully realize the
incongruity of making city park the Gener-
ais place of sepulture, and in the whole city
there would be small opposition to a proposal
to substitute Washington for New York. 1t
10 not impossible that, after the formal funer-
al ceremonies are over, wise counsels and
good taste may prevail, and the final resting
place of the great soldier be made ON national
ground in or near Washington
