THE PATRONAGE OF NEW YORK.

Why she President is Going Slow i'm
 Making His Appointments.
 WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Star this evening publishes the following respecting the political situation in New York State and the delay of the President in making ap- pointments in that State:
 t'The President is said to be giving thoughtfufh attention to political affairs in New York. Though the subject has been freEuently discussed between him and Secre- tary Manning, nothing has been yet definite ly settled concerning the New York appoint ments The President is said to feel that the future of the party depends upon their carving New York this fall, and ill order to assure this all differences must be settled and the party thoroughly harmonized. The great danger to be averted is that of fac tional fight over the federal patronage in the State. which fight will be carried into the convention, finally causing a grand burst up and giving the State to the Republicans. The President is giving much thought, it is said. to the question of how he is to guide the party into the right channel without getting involved himself in any entanglements. His policy will be not to espouse the cause of any particular individuals or factions, but to ap- peal to party loyalty to be united in their action, each to make such sacrifices as may be necessary at this time to enable them to get frmer hold. His advice is that they first get the pie in q safe place before they begin to talk about the division, for if they do not the enemy will come in and carry 1t of while they have each other by the ears. The delay about the appointments in the State is occasioned by the fact that the policy adopted is to look closely into the records of the candidates recommended by the different factions, considering both the suitability of the appointments and the effect it would have on the party. The idea is after careful investigation to select the very best men, regardless of faction, and to present them to the various local leaders together with the reasons for selecting them and to attempt by candid argument to show that the selections were made with regard to the best interests of the whole party. Those who are disappointed will then. be appealed to and urged to lay aside their personal feelings and to assist in strengthening the party's hold on l bower. Meanwhile MT. Manning is doing l all in his power towards this end and the New Workers, with whom he has surrrouded himself here, will exercise their active in l fuence on home affairs"

MURDER WILL OUT.

A Co1ored Man Arrested for a Crime
 Committed Twenty Years Ago.
 RICHMOND, Va, June 23.-Peter Grins, 8 colored man, has just been arrested here for the murder of Mir. George Ponnill twenty years ago. The dead body of MT. Ponnill, who was among the most prominent citizens in Henry county, was found in his office. By his side was the pistol of the dead man. The circumstances surrounding the case seemed to point to suicide. This theory was accept ed and never contradicted until yesterday when daughter of Grins came to Martins yil1eS and admitted that her father killed Ponnills She declared that both she and her father were cognizant of the crime. The father sent the daughter away from home and had his son convicted of horse stealing and sent to the penitentiary. The sudden return of the daughter yesterday and the startling confession she makes causes a sen sation. Peter Grins will be tried for mur- der

 The second prize in the second class was won by the Concordia Singing society of Bridgeport. It was handsome silk stand ard.
 This makes the thirty-second frstprize re- ceived by the Arions within the last eight years.
 The Arions arrived in this city about il o'clock from Bridgeport thoroughly tired after.their two days stay in that city. They marched down State street, headed by the Arion hall. Red lights and rockets were plentifully displayed on the line of march and the German citizens of New Haven seemed oyerjoyed by the honor which had been carried off by their society. A bounti- fuI collation. was served in the hall. About sixty members of the society partook in the contest, and about 12O accompanied them to Bridgeport

A SENSITIVE YOUNG MAN Kills Himself As The Result Of A
 Ladv,S Joke.

Kills Himself As The Result Of 4
 Lady,s Joke.
 WEST STocKBRIDGE, Mass, June 23.-The mystery surrounding Robert Stinson's sui eide is in measure dispelled. A month ago he offciated in oswego, N. Y., as best man at the wedding of college chum named Morrow. During the fortnight of festivities that followed Stin- son became such a general favorite that one evening Miss Morrow, his friends sister, remarked to him that 1t might be well that his Massachusetts, young ladies should be informed of his gallantry to the Oswego fair ones. He replied in the same vein and gave her Miss Edwards address to which she afterward wrote that Stinson had disappeared and was be- ieved to have been drowned. The letter caused much distress and, when the hoax was discovered, more indignation in the Edwards family. Stinson on learn ing the facts went to West Stock bridge and proved his own innocence so well that a wedding was planned for Sep tember. The news of his death, however, had spread and the gossips annoyed him, as he declared, to the point of frenzy. He wrote to his father, who opposed his plans ana SenC ftODoTGS DrOCQer Harry to see him. They met Friday. What passed between them is not known. After their parting Robert appeared much distressed and visited several bar-rooms. He was unused to intoxicants. In a pitiable plight he called on his affianced, who received him kindly despite his condition. At 6 he left the house, bought a revolver, sent tele- gram to his brother and note to Miss Ed wards and started down the railroad track. He was never again seen alive

In the second class were the Con- cordia of Bridgeport, Dan Loeser, director; GeEmania, South Norwalk, Hereher, direc- tor; Cancorclia, Seymour, Falge, director; and Mannerchor, Hartford, Blasius, director: The favor seemed to be about evenly divided between the Concordias, of Bridgeport, and the Mannerchor, of Hartford. The second part of the programme embraced two selee- tions by the rnassenehor, or united chorus of all the singers, accompanied by the band. These songs were rendered by fully 300 voices, carefully trained, and the effect was grand, the finest thing ever heard in Bridge port. The Amphion club of Waterbury gave beautiful rendition of "Annie Lau- rie'' and was obliged to respond to an encore, when waltz song by Voge1 was offered and tumultuously received. A notable feature was the appearance of Messrs. Wander, Waltz, Merklein and Gunlach of Hartford, four gentlemen who have sung together for the past twenty eight years. They were al so encored. s' THE ARIoNs, WELeeMn HoMn. The prize won by the Arions was a framed wreath of laurel leaves with 8 Tyre in the center.

The Disease Making Steady Progress
 on His Vital Resources.
 MT. AcGREGoR, N. Y., June 23.-To-
 days cool weather has proved & blessing to
 General Grant in the line of work accom-
 plished. His first thought after rising turned
 toward the notes that had been prepared
 for him that he might amplify certain parts of the unrevised memoir proofs. Go-
 ing to the office he began to write
 He soon tired, however, and called
 the stenographer to him and began
 to talk. He spoke above breath.
 The sentences were punctuated by long pauses, but by o'clock, dictation hay ing started before noon, the steuographer's
 book indicated that the general had spoken not far from fifteen hundred words. When that was over he went to his room and dosed for au hour. On his return he picked up a tablet and wrote. This effort fatigued him quite as much as had the dictation and he was compelled to seek further sleep. generals chairs were drawn in front of the blazing fireplace at sunset after hs had reused from his second nap. There the fam fly joined him. He seemed no worse for the days effort The sky had clouded in the afternoon and when the sun sank the ther- mometer began to recede quickly toward the chilling figures.
 The thought of the family has run all day to comparisons between the generals con dition week ago when he came here and now. There is nothing to denote other than steady prog ress of the disease. It is doubtful if he now weighs more than 130 pounds. This troubles the fam fly more than anything else and such efforts as .to-day's
 bring only fresh apprehension that they have to pay a speedy penalty for overwork. The family group was not broken until g o'clock,
 when Dr. Douglass prepared the general for l the night. It had been 8 very quiet | evening after the family nervousness
 had worn off. The. general said on retiring
 that he should sleep. Dr. Douglass noticed | no ill effect from the days effort. The gen. eral seemed to him on the con
 trary to be in improved spirits. The disturbing causes that have heretofore | induced early wakefulness were less | annoying than of late and the doe l tor thought the outlook for z good night was better than on any ! former night on the mountain. The l general was asleep at Il o'clock.
