the murder. The iregejy was q hor-
rible one and created no little excite
meDt at the time. The police used all
means TO pisc)ver toe perpt traitor, but
what was called "ihe mystery OF the

Late last evening Mrs. Bermap, wife
tf the murdered man, sp6 jacob
Steinmller, her brother-in law, were
crested and locked up in jail on q

A full confession Of the murder is now

Matte Reeder, neighbor, last Satur-

the arrests were made. The dying
woman and Mrs. Beruan were arrested
in 1880 on charges Of murder on suspi'

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY
Considering the Availability OF
Calling ~ state Convention.

INV York, August 3l.-The World
prints the following, Chairman
0'Brien decided last night 20 issue a
cal for the meeting OF the Democratic
State COMMITTEE at Saratoga on Sep
TENDER llth or l4th, when will be de.
cided the question whether that party
viii call Stats Convention. Mr..
O'Brien rome time ago bad circulars
issued to the members OF the commi-
tee asking their opinion as TO the nd
yiSab lily of calling convention. He
received replies from nearly all the
members. The committee was pretty
evenly divided on the subject, and it
WAS decided that the only way 10 salts
fsctorily settle the matter was TO call a
meeting Of the committee. These
members who oppose the calling OF a
convention give IA their reasons the
unnecessary expense, the danger CT
committing Il mistake on the labor
question and the fear that an indorse-
ment Of the national administration
will not ba adopted. Another reason
advanced is the necessity OF reorgania
ing tn. State Committee. Many pei
sons believe that the smoke from the
ncQueduct agitation has involved Mr..
O'Bien to an extent that will necessl-
tate his retirement from the chain
msnehlp OF the committee.
