New Phase to the Crime.
lBy telegraph. to the Dispatch.l
ASHLAND, KY, March l0.-The
horrible murder on Christmas eve, 1881,
when three children were murdered
here, which resulted in a lynching, is
recalled again by developments about
to be made which will demonstrate that
Neal, Craft, and Ellis were innocent of
the crime for which they suffered.
For some time several gentlemen
have been employing detectives to sift
every theory and investigate every
clue. Their work has been crowned
with success, and it is claimed that the
arrest Of the real criminals will soon
follow. The evidence is said to be con-
elusive, and will show that the triple
murder was committed early in the
evening; that the perpetrators went
to the house by appointment. with
one of the girls who had previously
been on intimate terms with one OF
them, and that the triple murder fol-
lowed the unintentlOnal killing Of the
boy for resisting the assaults on the
girls. The arrests would have been
made before but for the excited state Of
public feeling. here on the subject. The
suspected parties hold very respectable

RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.

MARCH 10, 1885.
The tobacco market this week shows 40
perceptible deviation from the course of
trade last week. Loose receipts have fallen

this week for fine stcmming leaf Lugs
show rather more life, but 10 would be un-
safe 10 quote prices higher. There are Just
few more buyers and 1t is hoped that they
may increase in numbers and competi-
ton, too. Some years tobacco IS tobacco;
and when an article is scarce a low grade
will substitute higher one often. and lugs
and short leaf are sometimes on a par. This
year, with q large crop. no reliable outlet 10
foreign markets, and dull trade and small
profits and uncertain times al home. there
is nothing to encourage general buying but
bare speculation, based Oh the belief
that the weed is low or below pro-
ductiOn, and that money IN the hands OF
a favored few Is seeking an investment that
might find less pront IN something else for
IL Is known all safe securities are high and
money comparatively cheap and abundant
IN money centres. Still cotton and all food
products are at least as low as tobacco and
as liGc,ess Is tobacco. there is after all not
so much room for complaint. There is
samcuess IN all the offerings Of dark toblc-
COS here thus far; there are always parties
willing to pay an extra price for an extra
qUalty-Wlth no exception this year,
whether IN dark or bright tobacco. II is

WASHINGToN, March lO.-The Pre-.

sage declining TO approve the act for
the relief Of John llolins McBlair. Nc
Blair was a lieutenant in the regular
army, who was wholly retired from the
army by the Retiring Board in 1861,
but was'subsequently restored to the
army and placed on the retired list b.
the Presidents order. After tTenty
years he put in claim for longevity

cided his restoration was illegal. Ilo
then had a bill introduced in Congress

latIng appointments to the army, and 10
is this bill that the President vetoed.
he says McBlair's claim is devoid Of
merit, and tho bill establishes a bad
