tary Fran kiln Dye. Morris Bacon. W. r.

Mise, of the State Board of Agriculture,

Of mines and minerals of New Jersey,
very good display. The State Board OF

own expenses. Secretary Dye said he
was very anxious for New Jersey to make
a good display at the fair, and if the Com
mission would bear the expense the
Board would go to work with renewed
energy and do their best to make q salts
factory display. The Commiss toner's dis
cussed the su b ject of placing the agricul-
tural di splay in the hands OF the State
Board but left the m after undecided.

ark. who has been in Chicago since the
last meeting loo king after New Jerseys
interests, was present aud exhibited a
map of the grounds New Jersey has
been given a place among the regular
State exhibition buildings. Plans have
been examined and made for the State
building, but as there is not enough
money to begin building it no thing can
be done yet
The Co mmissioners will probably go 60
Chicago next month. Commissioner
Smith will leave again on Sunday to

EELTlDERL's MURDER MYSTERY.
Detectives Think Thew Have n Ciew--
Two Persons Suspected.


Special to the Jersey City Nelcs.
BELvIDERE. Aug. u, 1S91.-The man
murdered by the roadside near Hope was
not the Rev. George Everett. That gem
tleman has been heard from and Is at his
home in junction. How the murdered
man came to have one of his letters is not
known. unless he picked It up near Mr..
Everett's home.
The victim was buried last evening, the
Coroner's jury having rendered a verdict
that the deceased came to his death from
pistol shot wounds inflicted by persons
unknown.
Search is being made for the negro aud
the beetle browed white man who were
seen on the highway with the victim Just
before the murder was committed.
These two were seen in Buttesville
Friday morning, and the white man dis
played a revolver there. They had de-
manded something to drink at the
Brokaw saloon, and when it was given
them they refused to pay for it.
Mrs Brokaw threatened them with ar
rest. and they became ugly. She hissed
her dog at them, and then the white man
drew a revolver and shot the animal
dead. He shook the pistol at Mrs. Bro
kaw, too. and told her she had better be
careful or something might happen TO
her.
Afterwards the two were seen on the
road to Hope, aud they probably overlook
the man who was murdered on this high
wav. for he was not with them in Buttes-
Vile.
Half dozen people who saw the pair
are positive they can identify them, and a
general alarm and request for their ar
rest has been sent TO all the cities in the
State.
The murdered man was an entire stran-
ger In the neighborhood, for OF the hun
dreds who looked upon mis- corpse not one
was able to identify it. The remains we're
photographed and the clothing preserved
in the hope that these things will lead to
the clearing up of the mystery Of the
