HELENA, Ark, June 19.-Jatnes Gregory,
constable of Hickory Ridge, in this county,
was shot and killed yesterday by man
named James Crosby, stave maker.

CHICAGO, June 19--There seems no
reason for the supposition that the Chicago

too happy over their escape from the re-
strictions of the presidents agreement to
think of placing themselves under restraint
again. They claim they are now recover

in consequence of the division recon-
mended by the association, but in spite of
fair competition.

DROWNED IN THE GENESEE.
Martin Luax, of Buffalo, While Bathing With
Sullivan Loses His Life.

SULLIVAN Loses his Lie.
Especial to THE HERAID-Examiner Dispatch
BELFAST, N. Y, June 19-When your
correspondent visited Messrs. Sullivan and
Muldoon at their training quarters yester-
day, they had Just returned from long
walk. They seemed in excellent spirits,
and the champion was looking well. He
then went through the process of being
bathed and rubbed. After this the party
dined and were joined by Mr.. Martin Luax,
a young lawyer of Buffalo, who is also
manager of Rogers, Willard and Locke, of
that city.
After dinner it was suggested by Messrs.
Muldoon and Sullivan that the party, in
Guiding Mike Cleary, of New York, and
Mr.. johnson, of Cincinnati, take stroll to
the Genesee river, whichis about one-quar-
ter of a mile distant from Mr. Muldoon's
residence. After arriving at the river and
sitting upon the bank few minutes and
chatting, it was suggested by the two
champions that they attempt to swim the
river. All hands went up for bath. After
enjoying the clear, fresh water for about
half an hour, the party came out and with
the exception OF Mr.. LuaX, who remained
on the opposite shore, began dressing. He
is an expert swimmer and athlete Of some
note, and as he started to swim back but
little attention was paid to him, as no
danger was anticipated The party was
chatting and laughing, when all at once
cry for help from Laux was heard. All
Immediately commenced divesting them
selves of their clothes. and in few seconds
plunged into the water The strong swim
mer put in his best strokes to reach LauX,
but before he could get to him he was car
ried over the mill dam, 200 feet below, and
drowned. Messrs. Sullivan and Muldoon
made every effort possible to rescue him,
even at the risk of their own lives, but all
their efforts proved fruitless, and as yet the
body has not been recovered. 1t is thought
that he was taken with cramps. The attn
letes returned to their training quarters IN
gloom.
Mr.. Sullivan is in perfect health, and al
though he is being reduced in weight by
doing hard work, he seems to be growing
more massive in size. AS he appeared
stripped for the bath yesterday, he looked
a perfect Hercules. He did not appear too
tieshy, although his trainers say they will
reduce him several pounds yet. He is as
brown and healthy looking as any of the
farmers He made the remark that he
was not overpleased at the reports of his
being on a drunk, but said it was an old
story to him, and supposed it originated
through some country jake"

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
NEW YORK, June 19.-Close upon the
scandal involving Squires, Tanners pri-
Vate secretary, comes still another blow to
the reputation of the pension office for
morals, which are apparently at low
level It is alleged that the reason for the
sudden departure OF Van Brunt from the
pension office was Secretary Mobiles as
cOvery that the Brooklyn man mad de-
serted his wife and family and had eX-
changed their society for that Of woman
in this city, and had been mean enough to
spend the woman's money and pawn her
seal skin sacque. 1t was as much on the
meanness of the transaction as upon the
immortality that Secretary Noble based the
dismissal of Van Brunt. He could not
stand that seal skin sacque incident.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Thursday even
ing Mr. Graves, chief of the bureau of
printing, drew pistol on M. F. Jackson,
an ex-employee of the bureau. Jackson is
u one armed soldier who keeps a small
book store on Pennsylvania avenue Two
years ago he was dismissed for the fault of
another man. He was trying to have that
record corrected, and something he said
made Graves angry and he ordered Jack
son to leave the house. jackson fired up
and called Graves a coward. Then the
chief rushed TO the bureau and drew re-
volver, which he pointed at Jackson, order
ing him again to be gone. Those acquainted
