Crime Cleared Up.

Butte-Secretary Keliermans Shortage
The Rocky Mountain Club.

PORTLAND, Ogn., July 17.-[Special tele-
gram TO The HERALD. "A few minutes be-
fore noon on Saturday, November 6, 1883,
Deputy Sheriff c. T.. Powell and Martin
Dyer, who were searching for Dan Moran,
a missing witness in the Kelly murder case,
then in progress, discovered the body of
murdered man in the debris of the founda-
ton of the Willard hotel NOW Hotel Port
land). The body lay on a Pile of broken
stone and there were knife wounds in sew
eral different places, evidently made with
sharp dagger. There was one wound
across the throat, which partially severed
the windpipe. Another wound was over
the pit of the stomach, the knife having
gone more than half way through the body.
A dozen smaller wounds were found on the
dead mans hands and face, all giving evil
oence that the murdered man had fought
desperately for life. This morning
Henry Symmetrical, commercial man
doing business between San Francisco
and this city and the sound, informed re-
porter that the Kelly murder mystery was
solved. He then showed the reporter a
brief letter from Springfield, Mass, pa
per, supposed to be the Republican, making
publication of confession of man giving
the name of Halock II. Dolan, who died in
the county hospital there. He was con-
scious up to within few moments of his
demise and told an attendant that he wished
10 make confession of a great crime to a
Catholic clergyman who was hurriedly dis
patched for. Dolan, in his confession,
stated that he formerly lived in Oregon
and other northwestern states, and in the
latter part of 1886 he and another man
murdered stranger in ali old hotel found
alton in Portland. More than that
the dying man did not reveal,
but then there is no reason
10 doubt that the deceased was one eff two
who brought Thomas Keneally to his death
in the basement of the Willard hotel (now
the Portland), a horrible murder which is
still fresh in the minds of the people of this
city.
In his confession Dolan made no allusioI
as to how he managed to get from here, il
fact he states no more than that b,
murdereda man ina hotel basement here Tn,
efforts of the Portland police to capture tn,
dastardly assass;ns wer esuntining TO
months and numerous arrests were made
but the fearful crime could not be fastened
upon anyone taken in custody.

TAMMANY'S NOMINEE
For Governor of New York may
be Chairman Murphy.
THE PRESIDENT AND MR.. BLAINE.
the Secretary CT State is Very Much
Disguised.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.|
New York, July 1.-THE current num-
Der of Chatter contains the following:
1.-THE fact that Richard Croker has been
in consultation withuC Chairman Murphy, of
the Democratic state committee, has sig
nifcant aspect to the. politicians and the
intimate friends of the two gentlemen.
They have it that Mr. Murphy is to be the
party's candidate for governor, and will
shortly take up his residence in New York,
so as to take Grand Sachem Croker's place
at the head of the Tammany association,
while he is abroad in search of health. AS
for Mayor Grant being a candidate for re-
election, the knowing ones declare that it
is fixed event, and Mr.. Murphy approves
the programme. Those who know the in
innate relations between Chairman Murphy
and Mayor Grant expect a more compact
bond to be made in the fall. This will be
nothing more or less than the marriage of
MIR. Murphy's daughter to the handsome
young mayor of New York. No one seems
able to tell the date of this event, but there
are signs that the preparations are being
made on quiet but elaborate scale.n

FORTUNATE DOOLY.
The Postoffice Will Surely Go
to His Site.
FARMERS ALLIANCE CONVENTION
A Platform Promulgated and a Ticket Nomi
mated in Minnesota-The German Cues
ton in Indianapolis Settled.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July II Special
telegram to THE HERALD. = The post
master general has been considering to-
day the report of Inspector Seebold regard
ing the proposed change of site for the Salt
Lake postoffice The inspector regards
Main and Second South streets as the
business centre of the city and draws his
conclusions with that location as his
promise, SO to speak The report reviews
the different propositions advanced, and
makes on the whole fair statement of the
question.
The Groesbeck site finds favor in the in
spector's eyes on account of its excellent
location, but the quarters are too small and
the appointments lot ofsuch character as
should belong to so important an office.
Moreover, he has no reason to believe that
the present owners would improve them If
it were desired to remain there.
The Tebbetts site he dismisses with a brief
statement that it is not only remote from
the centre Of the city, but that it is liable
to remain so indefinitely. The same OBJ
lection, he thinks, applies to the Walker OF
Third South street site, but aside from this
he is disposed to regard it favorably.
The Dyer site on Commercial street is
central, but the street is narrow
and limited to one block and does not pre-
sent offsetting advantages enough to justify
its acceptance This brings him to the
Dooly site which, on the whole, he regards
as the most favorable and the EXCELLENCE
of which he recommends to the depart
ment
1t is expected that the postmaster genera
will, if he has not done so already, endors
the inspectors recommendation and selec
the Dolly site.

Especial to THE HERALD - Examiner Caplel
LONDON, July 17.-Mrs. Alma Stuart
Stanley has at last secured a divorce. She
is an actress we'll known in San Francisco
where she played in the Old California and
Baldwin. She married Charles de Garmo
Porter, the 18th of November, 1884, at ST
Raphael's Catholic church, Surbition.
There was no issue. After the marriage
they left England and went to America.
According to the evidence of Mrs. Alma
Stuart de Garmo Porter, the petitioner, her
husband represented he was stage man
| ager to the Haverly MINISTRIES, but when
she got to America she found out that this
was false representation and she had to
take a theatrical engagement with a
| travelling company. At Chicago he
left her and used to be out late. There
he associated with gamblers and women
and on one occasion had to pay wine bill
for 800 before he was released. In June,
1885, at New York he struck her violently
with his open hand on the head. After a
short separation they again lived together
at Philadelphia, where he stabbed her with
a knife in the arm. In February, 1885,
when they were living at New York he
used violent language toward her and
struck Der on the head. She was uncon
scious for upwards of five hours. Later on
at Manchester, he was with another woman
and when demonstrated with he struck hel
violently on the head and then shut the
door in her face after which she was uncon
scious. He then left her, taking with him
all her jewelry. Since then he had not con
tributed to her support. From the Crane
hotel, Paris, he had, twas said, written al
insulting letter to her, in addition to which
he had posted to others communications O.

DIR. Verdi on the Padrone system.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE House COM
mittee on immigration to- day heard a state
ment from DIR. Verdi, of this city, himself
native of Italy, upon the subject of the
padrone system. His statement was mainly
III refutation Of those made by the proceed
ing witnesses respecting the existence of a
system of Italian slave labor in this coun-
try. He said he had lived forty years in
the United States, and never yet had found
an Italian laborer who worked under a
padrone The Italians were not fools, and
were not to be gulled so easily into surren-
dering themselves voluntarily into slavery.
The Italian government appointed a COM
mission to examine the emigration system,
and as result law was passed which,
while recognizing personal rights, guarded
against unrestricted emigration, assisted
by unworthy persons for personal gain. A
prohibition was placed upon the emigration
nf any class of persons whose emigration
to which they sought to 60. Italy needed
all her citizens, and was doing all she could
to keep them. AS matter of fact the so
briefly. intelligence and skill of the Italians
in New York was not a fair sample of heI
representatives.
Oates. who had been member of the
Ford committee of the last Congress, said
he had little doubt the Italian restrictive
law cited by DR.. Verdi, which had not been
in operation before this year, would be Of
great benefit in preventing the immigration
of undesirable elements.

Secretary Kellerman Short in His Accounts


DENVER, July 17.-[Special telegram to
TIE HERALD. Frank Kellerman, secre-
tary of the German and Centennial Build
ing associations, is short in his accounts
with both concerns, and has been COM
pelled to resign. The amount of his short
age is variously estimated up to thirty
thousand dollars, but his property, valued
at $4,000, is in the hands of the attorney
of the Centennial, which also has a bond
for $4,000, and may lose nothing. He has
been secretary since 1854, and recently the
auditing committee of the Centennial com
pany threatened to resign unless he sur
rendered his Office. The indications are
that his books were loosely kept, and it may
be some time before the actual amount OF
his deficiency is known.

New YORK, July III. B. Allen, an

became entangled in the line and just then
the fish made terrific plunge, Allen went

about .his body and the great fish, lashing
the ocean into foam, made off rapidly, drag
ging the fisherman out to sea. Allen made a
desperate effort to extricate himself, but
half the time he was drawn along furiousy
beneath the oceans surface. His com
ponions on the vessel turned her bow in the
direction he was being drawn but could do
nothing else to aid him. Every one be-
lieved he must be drowned as he went bob
bing and plunging out to sea, but Allen
preserved his presence of mind and finally
secceeded in releasing himself from the
coils of the rope. He rose to the surface
and fioated, few moments later his vessel
came along and he was pulled on board
He was almost completely exhausted
Then the vessel put out to chase after the
swordfish which was killed. 1t was the
| largest swordfish of the season; its weight
