ON THE WRONG TRACK.
A Specimen of the Work Done by Chi
cago Detectives.


cagO Detectives.
KANSAS CITY, June 4th-William G..
Melville, of this city, is at present clerk
in the office of the Transmissouri Railway
Association. He formerly travelled for the
st. Paul and Kansas City road. On the
18th day of last April he was in Chicago
on business for the Chicago st. Paul and
Kansas City Company. He registered his
name as W. q. Melville at McCoy's Hotel.
in that city. A Chicago detective heard
that John J. Mar0ney, an Irishman who
is supposed to have been one of the MUIR
derers of Cronin, registered at that hotel
about April 16,h and they examined the
register, and after com mparing the alleged
specimens of Maroney's handwriting with
the names on the register, declared Ma
roney had written the w. G.. MelYilie.n
Detectives also discovered that Thomas
Desmond, an Irish Nationalist of San
Francisco, had numerous interviews with
Maroney, or Melville, at the hotel between
April 10Th and April 2lst
Melville only stopped in Chicago one day,
and the man who had interviews with him
was not an Irish Nationalist, but Samuel
Stophlet another railroad man, who is al
present also clerk in the same otfice with
Melville.
On May Sd, Melville and wife, of St.
Paul, registered at the same hotel, and the
detectives are making strong but unsuc-
cessful attempt to reconcile thatwo hands
as shown in the writing on the register
W. g. Melville is not an Irishman, and
never had anything to do with the Clan or
any clandestine organization. He was
reared in Lawrence, kas., and since leaving
school has been in the employ of railroads.

Workings of the Relief Committees-A
Notable Murder Trial.

Notable Murder Trial.
SEATTLE, June 14th.-To-morrow the
General Relief Committee will take charge
of the Tacoma Relief Bureau. Those in
charge of the Tacoma tent, with stock of
provisions, have been willing to turn it
over to the committee for several days, but
it was not fully decided to do so until to-
day
Many contributions of both the Pacific
coast and Eastern towns have prevented
great deal of suffering in this city. The
number who apply for relief does not de-
crease, and is not likely to for some time
to come. So far it has been discovered
that four persons lost their lives in the ru-
ins. but no one has yet been identified.
The 0regoaidn yesterday sent in S81S to
the relief fund. The fund now aggregates
S55, 900 since Monday.
The trial of James Evans, charged with
the murder of William Ruston, at New
castle, during the riot on June 4th last, has
been in progress. Evans left for Ireland
lust after the riot, and just before the
Court convened he voluntarily returned so
that he could be arrested and tried. The
trial attracted a great deal of attention.
The case was given to the jury at o'clock,
and al $50 it returned verdict of acquit-
tai. Evans was the recipient of numerous
congratulations from his friends and the
miners from Newcastle, who were present
in large numbers. They considered the
verdict a justification of their action during
the RIO.

SAMOAN AGREEMENT.
1t is Signed by All the Commissioners
Ready for Ratification,

Ready for Ratification.
WASHINGTON, June 14th.-The agreement
between England, Germany and the United
States on Samoan affairs, was signed at
Berlin this afternoon. 1t will not be made
public until confirmed by the Senate
While it is called an agreement by the Off
GERS of the State Department, Walker
13laine said, this evening, that he thought
it would undoubtedly require ratification
by the Senate.
If the instruments signed were on regu-
lating the conduct of two countries to-
wards each other, as for instance, be-
tween the United States and Samoa, il
would properly be designated as treaty,
but where the instruments signed
is to shape the conduct of three Govern
ments, viz: The United States, England
and Germany, toward a fourth party So
moa, it is held that its proper nomenclature
is an agreement, AT the same time, as it is
a matter affecting the foreign policy of the
United States it is said it will need ratifica-
ton by the Senate and that therefore it
cannot be made public prior to action by
the Senate. The agreement was cordially
approved by all the members of the con-
ference and by their respective Govern
ments. The best of feeling prevailed at
the termination of the labors of the Com
missioners.
WASHINGTON, June I4th.-" The Samoan
agreement is in the nature of treaty"
said Mr. Blaine tonight, "and ii will have
to go to the Senate for ratification. Its pnr-
port cannot be given out and il will not be
made public before the Senate meets"
This was as far as the State Department
would go in regard to the Samoan treaty
tonight So as far as can be gathered from
various sources this evening, the United
States Government has reason to be
thoroughly satisfied with ghat II has Sc
cured in the treaty to-day ratified.
This treaty is the first made by the pres
ent Administration. aud 1t IS expected to
demonstrate its policy in relation TO Amer
ican interests. As a consequence greater
secrecy is 10 be maintained regarding it,
and full consideration was given il before
| the American Commissioners were allowed
TO consent TO its ratification.
1t is understood that the first draft of the
treaty as outlined by the Commissioners
was pretty generally satisfactory to the ad-
1 ministration, and that there has been none
of the hesitation attributed to Mr.. Blaine
| by the press. Few changes have been
made. The only consideration given be
ing to the demands made by Germany fol
additional privileges in the islands. A few
of the concessions asked were granted, but
it may DE stated upon absolutely perfec
authority that the United States has main
tanned the purpose with which it started
and that the Samoan Islands Government
is to-day closer to the United States anC
stronger in its autonomy than ever before
Competent authority asserts that thi
Government has gained all that it de
manded.

PETALCMA, June l4th.-Sherman A Hau-
bTuCh. q young man aged p years, and g
resident of Two Rock, has become sud
denly and unaccountably deranged. He
abandoned his labor at Two Rock last Sat
urdav and came to Petaluma. and his be-
havior has been unusual ever since. Yes
terday morning he hired carriage and be-
gan to drive furiously about the city, closely
followed by City Marshal Collins and the
father of the unfortunate young man,
wealthy farmer of Two Rock. He returned
the carriage to the stable and was shortly
afteward captured by the City Marshal, and
after desperate struggle was lodged in
the City Prison.
The unfortunate young man is we'll
known in San Francisco, having been for
merly in the employ of the Sutter-street
Railroad, as conductor. He is a finely
built muscular young fellow, of prepos-
sessing appearance, and this unexpected
attack of insanity has startled the commu-
nifty. No cause is assigned for the sudden
attack, although the young man at times
appeared to be afflicted with melancholia
He was taken to Santa Rosa this morn
ing, it being necessary to tie his hands. He
will be brought before the Commissioners
of Insanity for examination. This is the
strangest and most unaccountable instance
of mental alteration that has ever occurred
in the history of Petaluma.

RACE WAR IN TEXAS.
One Town in Which the Negro Holds tn
Balance of Power.


Balance of Power.
AUSTIN TEX. }, June 14th.-An incipient
race war began in Bastrop county twenty
miles from Austin to-day. At the last
election the negroes proved most numerous
at the polls IN Cedar Creek precinct and
elected for Justice of the Peace a man
named Orange Wickes and for Constable,
Isaac Wilson, both ignorant cornfield
negroes, totally unfit to deal justice either
to whites or negroes.
a few DAYS ago a white citizen named
Alf. Ltten went to a negro's cabin and re-
monstrated with him for sending an insult
ing message to him and his wife. For
this he was arrested by the negro Constable
and brought before negro Justice Weeks
for trial. While the trial was in its pre-
iminary stages the accused turned toward
his lawyer and asked him if he could step
outside moment. He said yes but the
negro Constable said no. The prisoner,
not understanding what the negro Con-
stable said, walked out the door, when
stantly. This precipitated a race conflict,
and knives and pistols were desperately
used.
The first shot of the Constable was sig
nal for the crowd of negroes in the Court
room to fire, and they delivered perfect
yolley of bullets. When the negroes had
emptied their pistols and firing had ceased
the following white men were found TO be
shot Alf Litten, mortslly wounded; B.
Strother, shot twice, badly wounded; G.
Schoepf. killed; Hector Glass, dangerously
wounded, aud A. Nolan, killed. Peter
Bell, negro, was also killed. He was the
only negro killed, and he is said to have
been struck by stray bullet.
After the massacre the negro Justice and
his constable got horses and fed. Mr.
Murchisen, prominent white citizen liv,
ing in the neighborhood, says the negroe:
have been plotting a massacre for some
time. More trouble is feared.

ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE

No impartial man could believe it pos
sible for jury to convict Sullivan on the
evidence presented.
"As any hesitation ought to be resolved
in face Of personal liberty" said the Court,
Il will admit to release to bail, and hear
the counsers suggestions as to the
amount"
United States Attorney Longenecker sug-
gested $25, 600 bail, which lawyer Trude
thought would be excessive. Longenecker
said he would consent that the bail should
remain as fixed, provided the indictments
were found on no other evidence than that
already before the Ccroners jury. If ad-
ditional evidence were introduced be would
reserve his right 70 secure capias and then
settle the question of additional bail.
