Suicide o. ;MurdeT.

FroAa Public Administrators Scion
Peek, who, as e&-ofacio Coroner. beld an
inquest on the body Of the Italian found
dead ON the East-bound Immigrant trnin
tsn miles beyond Wells, Z few days ago,
We learn that there are circumstances
connected with tho affair which create
a suspicion that the man might have been
murdered, instead Of committing suicide,
as was supposed. From an Eastern rail-
road ticket agent, who came up from
San Francisco. and after paying costs oi
inquest, ETC., took the body Of deceased
back to the Bay, it is learned thai de-
ceased. with an Italian friend, after my
ing tickets direct to Paris, France, started
by rail, the former having some Sl,7OO
in checks our vouchers upon his person.
When the train arrived at Wells, the
friend mentioned quit the train, saying
that his partner was crazy II that he
was afraid to remain with him. The
train proceeded without him, and when
some ten miles out the partner was dis
covered dead in the wuter-clOset, the
head being nearly severed from the body;
the instrument used being "A razor, which
was found close by. When the new Of
the horrible affair reached the ears Of
the dead mans companion at Wells, he
refused Ia 20 to the corpse, but took the
West-bouud train going back over the
he had just come. At the inquest,
IA few dollars were found on the per-
son Of the deceased, but no
checks OF vouchers, which it is now
alleged he had taken with him from san
Francisco. After the body was taken
out, the train Of course. continued its
route and those who might have given
some information were not at the in
quest; in fact, little or nothing with re-.
gard TO the facts could he gathered. Tbs
conduct Of the companion referred Ia
WAS strange. to say the least, and il il
just possible, that the deceased met his
death before reaching Wells, and that II
was not the work ni his own hand.

CLEVELAND VISITS TILDEE.

Anew York dispatch states that Prcsi-

Daniel Manning. went up on a visit to
Samuel J. Ti!dcn, TO his place at Grey
stone, Monday, took dinner thcre-Mr.
TildGn at the head OF the table with
Cleveland on his right and Manning on
his left-nnd remained all night AS Mr..
Tildcn's guests. 1t i further stated that
they were warmly welcomed and that
their visit Was 4 very pleasant one. So
IL appears that the excessive infirmities
of the Sage of Gramercy and the sup
pressed cnmity between himself and
Dir. Cleveland were merely cmnuutious
of the enemy for service in the campaign.
Thus are the cherished political legends
