The worst blizzard since the set
tlement of Sully county prevailed on
Thursday of this week. The snow fly
ing in the air was so dense that it was
dangerous to venture more than two
rods from a building, i'm consequence
much stock went without feed and
water during the day. We have not

tering. 1t was storm that will be |
long remembered.

Solving . Mystery in Maine.

BANGoR Me, July 3o.-A brutal and mys- terious murder was committed in this city on February 5 1879. William B. Elliott, a respected citizen of Glenburn, was found dying in the snow by the roadside in the outskirts of the city There seemed no clew whatever to the as- sassin, their being TO trace of suspicious characters in Elliots company on the day of his death. Elliot's head had been crushed behind the ears with an axe The blood stained weapon was found in the sleigh which the unfortunate man occupied It now transpires that Lyons saloon keeper who killed himself three years ago, had before he died made confession to friend who now tells the story. Elliot, who had stopped in Lyons place. was fol. lowed on his departure by man named Haynes who struck him with the axe and then robbed him. Haynes for another crime was sent to State prison for five years While in jail he killed a keeper and was sentenced for life. This case like the Barron murder, has caused great excite ment in Maine

IRLAND'S POLITICAL PRISONERS
0uarraI of the British MinistsrS Over
 Their Treatment.

LONDON, July 29.-The fact that the government is compelled to arrange for an autumn session of Parliament IS a distinct advantage to the opposrtion. As the bulk of the estimates must be left till the No vember session, the Paruellites will be able at that time to reopen their criticism upon the whole area of Irish administra- tion in discussing the votes for appropri- ations for Irish affairs. The Dublin execu- tive, instead Of having d scope of six months beyond the control of Parliament. will have only two months in which to act with Q free hand before the November session will bring its conduct under review
 The members oS the Cabinet have been Quarreling over the treatment of political prisoners in Ireland, which has character ized Balfour's administration. Mr. Smith urged that as a matter of prudence MT. Dillon and others ought to receive the treatment of hrst-class misdemeanants This would permit them to wear their own clothes while in prison, to supply their own diet. to obtain books and papers and to re- ceive visitors. Mir. Balfour opposed the plan and9declared that if it were earned out he would resign his office as Chief Sec rotary for Ireland. The majority of the Cabinet were inclined to support Mir. smith, but Mir. Balfour's threat to resign his post should the policy of vigor be dis continued, decided the matter in accord snce with his wishes.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER AWAIT.
 ING HIS COMMISSION.
Tho Coming Week In Congress-The Senate Tariff Bnl to he Reported Next Monday.
 Major Mckinley to Visit Atlanta. VI

WASHINGTON, July 30. Chief Justice Fuller is receiving a great deal of atten- ton from all classes of citizens here, but he is keeping in retirement as much as pos sible.
 Il have not yet received my commits sion," said he. 'It will, I presume, be issued on the Presidents return''
 Mir. Fuller has made inquiry as to the precedents about taking the oath of office, and finds that he can suit his own pleasure, provided, of course, he takes the oath be- fore he enters upon his duties. The Justices of the United States are required to take two paths. One is the regular oath of loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, which is re- quired of all officials who hold a Federal commission. The second is the judicial oath, in this form: ''I solemnly swear that l will administer justice without respect to persons, anG do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially perform all the duties in- cum bent on me as Chief Justice of the United States, according to the best of my abilities and understanding So help me God" It is the practice to take this second oath in the Supreme Court room immedi- ately before assuming the duties Of the of- lice; but this oath may be administered by any Federal officer qualified to administer o"0LS' AAS 4lISL OdAll, luub Ol 1edlby UO Iu6 Constitution of the United States, IS generally administered by the Senior Associate Justice in the robing room. The oath of the Chief Justice differs slightly in pnraselogy from that of the Associate Juftices. The latter swear $ Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States"; the Chief Justice omits the reference to the Supreme Court, and qualities as "the Chief Justice of the United States" The impression that person appointed Jus tlce of the Su- preme Court must take the oath of office before he actually becomes a Ju stice, or can receive pay is erroneous. The appointee is Justice of the Supreme Court from the time of the date of his commission. The Treasury Department of the issuance Of the commission, and the salary begins from that moment

INTERNATIONAL REGATTA.
An Aquatic Event That Promises Fine
 Summer Sport for Amateur Sailors.

CHICAGO, July 30.-There is going to be an International Yacht Regatta at Macki- naw Island, August If, 15 and Is, in which all the best yachts of Canada and America lake ports will contest for prizes. Among the schooners will be the Wasp, of Cleveland; Oriole, of To ronto; Esperanza, of Toledo; Countess and 1dler, of Chicago The sloops will include the Eileen, of Toronto; Atlanta and Nora, of Bellcville; White Wings, of Hamilton; City of the Straits and Cora, of Detroit; Norden, of Pentwater; Minnie M. and Nerve, of Chicago. There will also be large feet of third-class sloops, which will doHbtlcss help to make the racing interest ing. The Idler, of Chicago, Is now in dry dock being calsed scraped, painted and re- fitted preparatory'to sending her to Macki. naw. She is unquestionably the "crack " flyer of the lakes and her reappearance aft CT warping and bleaching for two seasons between the Illinois Central elevators will give the regatta boom.
 The race that promises to be interesting will be between the Minnie M, the Nerve and the Cora, which, by the way, formerly belonged to Chicago. All three are pretty evenly matched, and if they should start in gale or even half gale the timers and judges will have their hands full to keep aftor them. The schooner race will be
 
 extend from Mackinac Island around Bois Blanc Island, and all the shoals off the same marked by buoys, and return. At least one yacht must sail over the course within seven hours or there will be no race On the following day there will be race for cutters and sloops measuring forty feet and over on the water line. Their course will be triangular, laid in either the north or south passage, as may be deemed most suit ablS. Tho distance will be twenty-five miles, which one yacht must cover inside of five hours. The last race will be for cut ters and sloops less than forty feet on the water line. The course and distance for this class will be the same as for class unless change of location may be deemed fair and proper by the judges The prizes are all valuable. The first for the schooners will be an elaborately engraved silver cup, worth S3o0, and the second, S75 in cash. For the big Slosps there will be cash prizes of $l50, $lOo and $50; for the smaller sloops t125 S1O0 and S75
