but as yet the committee has taken no
definite action in the matter.
List evening, however, two Of the clubs
composing the Markham Brigade met and
adopted resolutions, which will be taken
up and probably acted upon by the County
Committee this evening. Those OF the
Cheerful Workers are as follows:
WHEREAS, Some of the county candidates
upon the Regular Republican ticket, as nem-
mated by the County Republican Convention,

their refusal of such Endorsement, and be 1t fur

Resolred, That if they refuse to publish such a

drawal from the regular ticket and the substi-
tuition of better Republicans.
At meeting of the Markham and Red

were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowledge of
this club that some candidates upon the Repub-

ouillity and the welfare OF Central America.
Coneratulatory letters passed between the
representatives of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
on one side and those of the foreign pow

strife was but barely initiated when it was
ended by dignified and honorable peace.
The Diplomatic Corps reassemb.ed in
Guatemala on August 2SIh, and passed q

of the Corps, for the tact and discretion he
had shown in the prelimlneries relative to
the medistion, and the solicitude he ex-
hibited in its successful termination.
The last act in this notable and happy
chain of events was the naming OF Com

UNFORTUNATE JOHN COLLINS.

Result of the Coroner's Inquiry Into the
Cause of His Death.
An inquest was held last evening by Cor
oner Clark on the remains of the man who
was burned in the fire Tuesday morning at
the Telegraph House.
Samuel Mcdonald testified that he could
not completely identity the remains as
being those of John Collins, as was sup
posed, but from the fact that some of his
front teeth were missing and that he had
not been seen since the fire, he firmly be-
lieved that Collins was the man who per-
ished. The deceased worked with him in
a blacksmith shop, and he had known
him for four or five years. Collins was a
native of Ireland and about forty years of
age.
j. B. Mccoy, the man who, with officer
Shook, rendered such good service in
arousing the occupants Of the house, testi-
fed that in waking up those sleeping he
went TO the door of the room in which Col
Inns was afterward found burned to death
and kicked it in. He saw man lying on
the bed dressed in his shirt and trousers,
but in the excitement did not recognize
him as Collins. He Strengthened him up,

out. The reply was, I'm all right, John
ME you wake up the other lads"
This was the last he saw of Collins until
the body was discovered.
The jury returned verdict to the effect
that the deceased was nam ed John Collins,
aged about 40 years, native of Ireland,
and that he was burned TO death.
Collins, it appears, had on the evening Of
the fire, participated in the parade in honor
of Cong Morrow. He was given q
uniform of the Fire Brigade and marched
with that organization.
One of the members of the club says he
does not think Collins was under the infu-
ence of liquor, as had been supposed, as he
was present when deceased refused several
invitations to drink after the parade was
over. There is belief that Collins had
some money in his room, and that he went
back into the burning house to secure it,
and thus lost his life.
So far as is known here, he had no rela-
tives in the State, and it is not known
what part of the East he came from
