A DARK DEED.

Assassination of Railway Agent Powers at
Marshall, Illinois, in His Office = The
Town Wild With Excitement-Hunting
the Trail of the Murderer. N A
MARSHALL, H., Sept. ~. Never since
war times has Marshall been in such
state of wild excitement as to-day.
This morning at seven O'Clock as Hector
Dulaney was passing the new. depot at
the crossing of the Cairo, Vincennes &
Chicago and Vandalia Railways, he
glanced in and saw pools of blood on
the floor. Summoning assistance an
examination was made, and it was
found that a back window had
been broken out, sash and all.
hasty glance in showed q body close
up under the desk, covered with papers
and an old coat. An entrance was at
once made, and the body was found to be
that of the agent, George Powers. He
had been shot and instantly killed, APP
parentlv. Soon hundreds of people were
at the depot, scarcely believing the
terrible news. The Coroner was sum-
moned from Dennson. In the mean
while your correspondent examined the
and half miles northeast of the city, in
deep and lonely cut. The agent was
required to stay only till midnight. Three
young men, friend f his, had accom-
panied Powers out to his post ana left
him at half-pas ten. The murder must
have been committed soon after that
time. He was sitting at his desk writing
a letter, and, being near-sighted, he
was leaning over close to the pa
per, and had his hat pulled down over
his eyes. The murderer must have
slipped up to the window and fred at the
top of his head The ball shivered the
pane OF glass through which it passed,
cut circular hole in the top of the hat,
and then entered the victims head. He
fell forward, his left eye striking on the
telegraph instrument, making terrible
bruSe. There was pool oil
blood on the table by the in
strument. The murderer then seemed
TO have gone around and entered
through the back window. He dragged
the body to the, floor and rifed all the
pockets, taking what little money there
was and his watch. The body was then
dragged through the pool of blood al
ready formed and land close under the
desk and covered up. The floor
was almost covered with blood. The
inquest was held this Afternoon
and verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above tects. Powers was
a young man Of twentysix, very popular
with all, especially the young folks, and
his awful death is felt as common
calamity. A thousand dollars was raised
in 4 short time to prosecute the search
for the murderer or murderers. The
feeling is most intense, and it
would take strong walls to hold
the fends if once caught. A
hundred men have been out since
the discovery of the murder securing the
country and kilograms have been sent in
every direction. There is no clew what
ever to guide the scarchers. An effort is
beng made TO get the blood-honnds from
Olney to start the search. This last
deviliSh deed seems to cap the climax of
crime which has reigned in Clark County
the last three months. 'ata t ..-

THE CUTTING CASE.

Although Properly Reticent, Secretary
Bayard is Pushing the Investigation of
tie Cutting Case, with Every Reason to
I:eIieye lie Was Right in First Premises.
WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Although Sec
retary Bayard is properly rcticent re-
specting any recent correspondence be-
tween this country and Mexico, it is
readily apparent to those who converse
with him that he expects to push the
point raised in tile Cutting case quite
vigorously. 1t can not be learned
whether any communications have come
from Mr.. Sedgwick giving a report OF
progress in the inquiry he was sent to
Mexico to make, but Mr.. Bayard so
speaks of the disputed points in the
Cutting tria! as to imply that he has
received satisfactory confirmation of
the original statements upon which
he demanded Cuttings release. He de-
cares very emphatically, in speaking Of
the matter, that there was not only no
misstatement in the first announcements
as to the offense charged against Cutting,
but that there has not been any change in
The Mexican court records in respect to
that matter He is quite sure that he
was right at the start in assuming that
the Mexican courts were undertaking to
try an American citizen for printing a
libel within the jurisdiction of the United
States and entirely outside of Mexico.
81 don't doubt that fact now any more
than did in my first. telegram TO Min
lister Jackson" said Mr.. Bayard, "and |
hardly believe the fact that this was the
original charge will be disputed. The
change of position afterward taken was
unques tionably suggested by ingenious
people on this side of the line who in
vented legal sublleties for the Mexican
courts"
Mr. Bayard went on to explain that the
device of trying Cutting for the circu-
lation of a libel in Mexico rather than
for the publication in Texas with the
idea OF making the subsequent publica-
tion a continuing offense, and thus con-
Meeting that with the original cause OF
complaint, which arose within Mexican
jurisdiction, was never thought of by the
Mexican officials until suggested to them
by their very swift allies in the United
States. 1t is scarcely probable that Mr..
Sedgwick has pursued his inquiries for
so long time without keeping the State
Department advised as to his discoveries,
so that the confidence manifested by Mr..
Bayard regarding what the Mexican court
records show can not but mean that he
has satisfactory assurance 10 this effect
from his special envoy. r

A story ortI,e Fire.

In 1879 Mr.. Ryan, the former owner
of the shop burned on Monday night,
died, leaving wife dependent at that
time upon their son Henry, who sue
ceeded to the business and became the
support of his aged mother and the stay
of the family. Five years passed and
the fond and dutiful son left home one
morning, full of hope and in apparent
health, to be brought home upon a
stretcher before noon. The stricken
mother, once more deprived of her sup
port, turned TO her youngest son, known
to all his friends as eddie" Equal to
the emergency, he assumed the respon-
sible place of head OF the family, and
ever since has unfinchingly kept his
shoulder to the wheel; and while ten
derby caring for his mother, was fast
bringing the business out of financial
embarrassment. In the shop on Monday
were three fine boats which would have
been out to-day, but in an evil hour,
together with his tools, patterns and
material, they were swept away. Mr..
Ryan has the fullest sympathy OF his
large circle of friends Communicated.
