LONDON, May 2.-It is stated that the
Papal decree and Cardinal Monacos cir
Cular to the Bishops are considered pre-
liminary steps TO further action in Irish
affairs. A special congregation OF the
Propaganda, composed exclusively OF
Cardinals, is now examining several
questions relative to the Irish agitation,
upon which il will formally vote. Car
dinal Simeoni has submitted at least ten
points to the congregation. The Vatican
appears resolved that those opposing its
decisions will place themselves outside
the pale Of moral and Christian law.
The Vatican does not doubt that the
Irish Bishops will feel the necessity OF
adopting the line OF conduct the Vatican

DUBLIN, May 2.-Thomas Dickson, on
the invitation OF Mr.. Parnell, has con-
sented to become a candidate for MEM
Der OF Parliament for the st. Stephens
Green division Of this city. II is believed
that his candidacy will have a reassuring
effect upon the Presbyterians in Ulster,
who will consider token Of good will
on the part OF the Nationalists OF Dublin.
Mr.. Dickson is the only man among the
old members Of Parliament from the
North Of Ireland who has remained true
to Mr.. Gladstone, and, being a large
employer Of labor in the North, his can
didacy is likely TO evoke the sympathy
of the wOrkmen OF Dublin.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, May 2.-The
most brutal murder that ever occurred
in Tennessee took place at Hunters
Bluff, on the Tennessee River, near Day

mond was killed by Morgan Hunter and
his body thrown into the Tennessee
river. Hunters wife has confessed, and

Bile crime. On the night OF the murder
Hunter compelled her TO accompany him
TO the river. He shot Dearmond twice,
and then made her assist him to carry
the body to the waters edge. Finding
that Dearmond was still breathing, he
took knife from his pocket and cut his
throat from ear to ear, after which the
body was thrown into the river.
Hunter was indicted for murder in the
first degree, but was out on 5000
bond. He has fled the country and his
whereabouts are not known even by his
wife. The neighborhood where the
murder occurred is wild with excitement
over the confession OF Mrs. Hunter.

NEW YoRE, May 1.-Two ladies have

den for l9-year-old girl named Annie
Breckinridge, who is known to have left
Liverpool on April IS for New York.
The girl is an accomplished vocalist
and member OF a Mexican band Of opera
singers which disbanded at Sheffield,

and excited the sympathy Of the Amer

to people OF the same name in this city,
whence the girl claimed TO come.
The name OF the vessel on which the
girl started was not given, and no trace
OF her can be found in the Garden reg

woman, Mrs. Ratcliff, OF this city, recog-
nized her granddaughter, who, with her

Particulars of the Shooting AFFAIR between
the jackson Postmaster and an Editor.
NEw ORLEANS, May 2.-F. L. Martin,
publisher ofthe Netrlfssissippi, sends the
Picayune the following account Of the
tragedy at Jackson yesterday: Martin
was returning to his office from his din
ner at about o'clock, when he was met
midway between his home and his office
by General Adams and friend who had
left the postoflice few minutes earlier
and were proceeding toward Martins
home. An eye witness, Walter John
son, who was standing near, states that
Adams stopped Martin and engaged him
in conversation for n minute, when
Adams drew his pistol and fired,
knocking Martins hat Of. Adams
second shot brought Martin to his knees.
The latter experienced considerable
difficulty in drawing his pistol, but
finally succeeding, he fired rapidly. A
third shot by Adams caused Martin 10
fall fiat on his back. After few Sec
onds, however, he partially rose, and,
steadying himself on his elbow, shot Ad-
ans directly through the heart, killing
him instantly. Martin lived few min
utes only, remarking to Charles Camp
bell, 81 am dead man." Owing to the
fact that Martin is believed to have re-
ceiyed four shots while only three cham
bers Of Adams pistol were empty, some
suspicion attaches to Ned Parrish, Ad-
ans friend, and an investigation will be
held. Martin, although only twenty
five years Of age, stood at the head Of
Mississippi journalism. Gen. Adams
was between sixty-fve and seventy years
of age, and was one Of Mississippi's most
distinguished men.
