 and So Disposed of It.


 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Jan. la.-The borough of Jamesburg, Middleser county, N. J., is worked up to a seething state Of excite ment over the discovery of E.n-der com mitted on Christmas by William H. Schenck, a negro, who is now confined in the jail at New Brunswick upon the charge of burglary in the house of James Murray, neighbor.
 Schenck's boy died on Christmas day and was buried almost immediately. Many per- sons thought it queer that no phy ysician had been summoned, but the mystery was ex- plained when Prosecutor Rice formulated the charge of murdering the child against the prisoner.
 -- Schenck, who had long suspected his wife of infidelity, took it suddenly into his head on Christmas day that his son, child 9 years old, was not his own, and having pre- viously caused the arrest of William Will jams upon charge of adultery with his wife, concluded that the child belonged to Williams. Schenck entered his house and caught up the child from the floor; then, dashing the little one into it's cradle, stuffed its cries by choking it to death.

MALONE AND THE CABINET

He Frankly Admits That He Is a Candi-

 CHARLESTON, s. C., Jan. 18-Gen. William Malone is here, and he frankly admitted that he is candidate for the postmaster generals portfolio.

 Twill Blaine be in the cabinetY' the gen. eral was asked
 "His friends want him there for purposes of their own," said the general 'It isn't Blaine so much it is a representation of the interests of the monopolists who are his supporters"
 In speaking of the president-elect Gen. Malone said he was clear headed man, and not likely to express his views of important national topics or prematurely announce his cabinet.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-A special cor respondent claims to have positive informa- tion, obtained from an active member of the Republican national executive committee only recently returned from the west, the publication of whose name is, of course, pro- hibited, but whose identity can be readily guessed, that Gen. Harrison has decided not to appoint Thomas c. Platt to the secretary ship of the treasury-or, in fact, to any other cabinet position. He has also fully determined not to give Warner Miller the treasury portfolio, although he may invite Mr. Miller to become the new member of the presidents advisory board-the commissioner of agriculture. Whether Miller will accept this appointment or not is matter for con lecture. He is anxious to "get in" and may throw aside the little disappointment he may feel in losing the more importaht position, and accept the commissionership It is quite a drop from finance to agriculture, it is true, but agriculture it must be or nothing. The treasury portfolio is not to go to New York. New York will, however, be offered another portfolio in the shape of the navy, attorney generalship or postmaster generalship, and will thus have, should Miller accept, two re- presentatives in the cabinet
