Sudden DEATH
OF Judge McCafferty, Justice of the Mu-
nicipal Court of Boston.

BosToN, May 5.
Hon. Matthew J. McCafferty, associate
justice of the Municipal Court, died suddenly
this evening at his residence on Hancock
street, aged &c. He was appointed to the
bench by Gov. Butler. in January, 1888, and
has won many encomiums for his impartial
and fearless administration of the law.
Judge McCafferty held court today and ap-
peared in the best of health He sat down to
his supper as usual, shortly after 6 tonight,
and during the meal laughed and chatted with
those about him with his usual cheerfulness
and good nature. Shortly after retiring to
his room in the second story, one of his old
comrades of the 25th regiment, who occupied
the room above, heard noise as if made by
some one in distress, and running down stairs
found the Judge seated in chair, evidently
in great pain and breathing with difficulty
A physician was quickly summoned, bat all
efforts to relieve the sufferer failed and he
died in few moments. The cause was
heart disease.

FADING AWAY.
"AlmOst Certain that Charles B. Morton
will not be made POstmaster.v

The Washington special of yesterdays
Boston Post (dem.) has the following in re-
gard to Charles B. Morton's chances for Sc
curing being the next postmaster of Augusta
1t seems almost certain that Charles B. Nor
ton will not be made postmaster at Augusta,
Me. Manley's term expires on May 20, and
both the President and Mr.. Villas desire to
appoint Morton. He is vouched for by the
best democrats of the State, who do not yet
consent to withdraw his name. If he shall
not be appointed eventually. it will be be-
cause he has been too effective an opponent
OF Mr.. Blaine and his party friends. Senators
Hale and Frye have told the postmaster gen.
eral that they will see to il that Mr. Morton
is not confirmed if he shall be appointed and
it is believed that they will be able to accom-
plish their purpose. They base their oppos-
tion on the ground that Morton printed the
gravestone story in the New Age, but he also
discovered Blaine's authorship of the Madi-
gan circular And he did and wrote good
many other things that were offensive to the
Maine republicans. IL remains TO be seen
whether MIR. Morton can assure the President
of his power to influence enough republican
votes IN his favor to overcome the opposition
of Hale and Frye. AS the matter stands now
the President is not inclined to take the
chance of rejection.

ing made any threats toward Rosa, while in
