secretary Noble Writes Letter to Mayor
 Grants Messenger.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Secretary Noble sent note to w. J. Kenny, the repre- sentative of Mayor Grant in the Census controversy, requesting that the enumer- atiOn books, etc, of the police census be forwarded to him, as he wished to make an examination of them with view to deciding upon the mayors application for a recount of the population of New York
 To this note Mr. Kenny replied that he was under instructions from Mayor Grant not to let the documents go out of his possession; that they had been in his charge since the police census was taken, and he did not believe he was justified in allowing them out of his custody.
 Secretary Noble then penned the fol lowing explanatory note to MT. Kenny: w. J. KENNY, Arlington Hotel, Washington:
 Your of this date has just been received. It was said by me that 1 would read the Mayors letter, which, at the interview you referred to, did not even open; that when ever found need of the books and papers you retained 1 would let you know, and if you wished it would send messenger to aid you in carrying them to the department.
 But 1t was not then in my thought, DOT can now consent, that you not to leave the books you wish me to consider in my sole cus- tody. Governor Hills letter and Mayor Grants instructions to you alike indicate spirit of suspicion against tn he department that can no longer tolerate. If you are unwilling without further delay to comply with my quest, communicated to you in writing, you may take the books and ptpers away with you and shall proceed with the business without them. Yours respectfully,
 JOHN w. NOBLE, Secretary.
 Secretary of the Interior Noble has sent a long letter to Governor Hill in answer to his request that New York city's claim for recount be considered. In conclud- ing his letter the Secretary says:
 II regret the necessity of addressing the chief magistrate of. the leading State of the Union in the terms I have em- ployed, but find my justification in the reckless intemperance of language you have seen fit to use-language which is lacking as much in truth as it is in the dignity befitting your great office, which in the past has been filled by eminent men of both political parties of New York "

MURDERED BY THIEVES.
A Constable Attacked and Killed While
 Trying to Make Arrests.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 4.-Constable Harry Mateer, of Tarentum, F miles east of this city, was murdered at that place last night by thieves.
 At S:30 o'clock three thieves broke into the tailoring establishment of Biehl Brothers, in Tarenturn. They were suB prised by the son of one of the proprie- tors of the store, who gave the alarm, and the thieves broke out a side door, each with an armful of clothing, and ran toward the river.
 Constable Mateer was notified of tho theft, and with a party of citizens went in pursuit of the robbers At Peterson, half mile below this city, Officer Mateer boarded the Blairsville express on the West Penn Railroad to look for the thieves, and as he walked into the smoking car the thieves recognizing him jumped off the train with Mateer after them.
 He caught one of the men and struck him with billy. As he did so the thief shot at him, the ball striking one of his pants buttons and causing a slight flesh wound. Mateer pulled his revolver and shot another of the men who came up at this moment, and as he did so he was struck again by billy and rolled into the ditch The third man came up at this time and shot the prostrate officer, the ball striking at the base of his spinal column, flom the effects of which he slowly sank, dying at 10 o'clock.
 All this happened inside of a minute. The trainmen and some passengers rushed to the rescue of Matteer, when the mur- derers ran away. They have not yet been captured. Great excitement prevails in Tarentum, and searching parties are out all along the West Penn Railroad from Allegheny City to Tarentum in search of the murderers.
