zen by Mexicans.

Ell PAso. July 15th.-A cold-bloOded
murder of an American citizen took place
yesterday at point thirty miles below
Paso del Norte, place called Tres Jacales.
The murder was perpetrated under the
eyes of a Mexican magistrate, and, it is
said, by his direction and consent. On
July 9TH Gregoird Beserra, who lives OPP
posite Tres Jacales, on American territory,
and is q American citizen, was celebrating
the national holiday by giving dance in
the evening The ball went along nicely
until late hour, when Mexican Con-
stable with posse of four or five attend
ants, arrived and demanded a tax from
BeSerra. The latter told him he was an
American citizen, on American SOIL and
refused to pay The posse then broke up
the dance and ill-used Beserra's wife and
Garcia, even threatened to kill him
if he found him on the Mexican side.
few days ago Beserra was obliged to cross
the river to get some horses. While he
was riding along the Mexican magistrate
and the man who had threatened him
tAntonio Garcia) ordered him to stop.
This he did reluctantly, because he re-
membered the threat. No sooner had he
stopped than Garcia asked the Judge,
"Shall kill him?' On receiving an af-
frmative answer, he shot Beserra through
the body, and then brought him to Jail,
when his brother succeeded, by strong en-
treaties, in taking him out to die. The
Mexicans have made no arrest The case
has been submitted to the American Con-
sui at Paso del Norte, who says he will
press it to the bitter end

Condition of the Hop Market.

NEW YORK, July 15th-The Worlds spe-
cial of the 14th says: The Press to-day
publishes reports from various sections of
the hop-producing regions of central New
York and says The reports all agree that
lice and honey dew have committed ire
parable damage to the vines. Waterville,
which is known as the Kent of America,
will yield less than half the crop of last year.
Some growers have their last years crop
still on hand, and taking into consideration
the poor outlook for this year, they will hold
for higher prices. A grower of Brookfield,
Madison county. who had seventy acres OF
hops. has had them entirely destroyed by
lice. The general opinion prevails that the
hops of 1885 will sell for from 30 to 10
cents during the next few weeks. The
growers are in great despair, as many have
the largest part of their farms under hop
culture.

The Alleged New Treaty.

WASHINGTON, July 15th.---It was stated
at the White House to-day, in reference to
the cable dispatch that an extradition
treaty between the United States and Eng
land providing for the surrender of dyna-
miters had been concluded, that no such
treaty had been signed by the President as
the document would first have to be trans
mitted to the Senate by the President
through the Secretary of State. 1t would
appear that the matter, if completed had
not taken definite shape.

The Quality of Buffers Bricks.

New YORK, July 15th.-General Buffers
political friends here scout the idea that he
intends to run for Congress this fall in the
Lowell, Mass, district. They say he pre-
fers to represent New York city district,
and if the workiugmen viii place him in
the field, Butler himself has no doubt of
his election. He has lately been engaged
in some correspondence with the Knights
of Labor looking in that direction, which
will probably be given to the public before
long. On Buffers part it is substantially
bid for the workingmen's vote. An active
member of the Central Labor Union said
yesterday Butler would be of more use
to us here in New York than he would be
in Congress. If the old man would con-
sent to stand for Mayor, even Tammany
would indnrSa him y

New ORLEANS, November PA curl
ous incident of the fight over the property
OF the famous Myra Clark Gaines came to
light to- day. Among the claimants for
the estate is Mrs. Marie Evans, who PIE
sented will purporting TO be signed by
Mrs. Gaines, leaving her property to the
amount of S2 100000. This will depends
almost wholly on the testimony of Mrs.
Bradley, servant to Mrs Gaines, to whom
the latter was said to have given the
document. Mrs. Bradley testified strong
ly against Mrs. Evans, and it was on her
testimony that the will was ruled out of
court. Mrs. Bradley is deVout Catholic
and member of st. Anthony's Church,
which is presided over by Father Mancet-
ia. The father testified to-day that Mrs.
Evans waited upon him some time ago
and invoked prayers in his church for the
success of her claim in the Gaines case
and said that in case the prayers were
successful and she won the case she in.
tended to give the church large sum of
money and distribute $4,000 among the
poor of the parish. She also asked Father
Mancetta to see Mrs. Bradley and induce
her to tell the truth about the will. The
father did not think that the offer was in
tended as bribe, as people frequently
call to ask for prayers In his church and
to promise a donation if the prayer
brought success.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

rfOm our regular Correspondent,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 There are
many indications that Congress will
convene In two weeks Every In COM
ing railway train brings its coptinge {
LOT Washington's Congressional and
winter population, and at the Capital
the Appropriations Committee have
been forced to extra work by the call OF
special meeting. By such industry
1t is proposed to have . money bill
ready for Congress 10 begin upon. No
REQ tape OF bampering rules nor any OF
the other standing obstacles to legisla-
tion Is allowed to stop the spending of
money, and 1t is well 1t is SO, for else
the niggardly administration in its
efforts to show q reform would ftop the
wheels of the Government machinery
short off for lack Of funds.
Senator Vest, who has heretofore
lived In very quiet way in Washing.
ton, probably owing to the health of HIS
wife as we'll as OF himself, has purchased
q house here. That makes twenty-five
Senators who have Invested in real es-
tate in this city. Many of them live in
their own houses and some have in.
vested for speculative purposes. It il
possible that the whirlieig of politics
may return ex-senator Ste wart of Ne
vada TO the Senate to succeed Senator
Fair.
The best evidence of what the future
OF Washington will be is to be seen In
the real estate Investments here of capi.
talists from other cities. Each week
brings aome new investor of large
means, and prices that o few years ae O
would have seemed fabulous are being
paid freely for desirable property in all
sections of the city. 1t has been suQ-
8ested that each State of the Union
erect building here to be used by each
State respectively for its delegation in
Congrats, the reception of visitors, the
meeting OF State associations, etc. and
the plan seems to be popular one.
The doctors about Washington have
oeen indignant over q restrictive order
OF Pension Commissioner Black relative
to SICK certificates issued by them TO
his clerks. He WAS not satisfied with a
mere certificate of indisposition, but
wanted the physician to state the nature
OF the disorder. Naturally the doctors
thought that was going too far, and CON-
strucd General Blacks demand as a
slur upon their professional hoLor. The
matter was brought to the notice of
Secretary Lamar, and the latter let the
General down by sustaining the physi-
clans In projecting their patients against
explicit inquiry through them.
A certain representative in Congress
was run into the station-house one
night last week for getting up q row
after midnight in disreputable part of
the city. He was permitted to register
as clerk X under ficticious name,
while cab was called ard an officer
detailed to see him safs in his lodging
house. 1t is useless to say what would
have been done with him il he had
really been "clerk" and 1t is bad
that such distinctions should be made
and that the law breaker should 20 un.
punished because he in q law-msker.
