Especial Correspondence
GUHFORD, Conn, Aug. 1S.-While
registering in the visitors book, on a re-
cent visit to the Old Stone House, was
surprised to see the signature Of w. II.
II. Murray two or three spaces before
my own. The Guilford address he gave
suggested a visit to his old home, which
lies about three miles northeast Of the
village center in picturesque farming
section. The homestead has grown by
the addition Of other farms until it now
comprises about 200 acres. The original
farm has been in the possession Of the
family $50 years, Murray's ancestors
having been residents of Guilford since
1885. They were a race of farmers and
shipbuilders. The old farm house is
still standing in which Adirondack Muir
ray was born in the year 1871. 1t is an
oblong frame with solid oak timbers
and with quaint two story veranda
on the western end. It is undergoing
repairs and will be enlarged considera-
bly, to make it n permanent home for
Murray and his children. After years
Of absence as minister, lecturer, sports
man and traveller he has returned to
the ancient seat of his fathers, where
his future literary work will be car
ricd on.
1t is often noticed among literary and
other brain workers that some pet en-
terprise will be pursued as an intellec-
tual diversion, and as an aside TO their
more serious work. Frequently this
pardonable hobby appears as love for
thoroughbred dogs, or blooded poultry
and fancy pigeons, but with the subject
of this sketch the amiable mania APP
peared in n more serious and meritorious
guise, and we find him at one period of
his career breeding blooded horses.
Beauty and speed were the goals. in this
minor pursuit, and they were abun-
dainty realized. On his farm he erected
extensive barns and constructed a short
speeding course. This was years ago
ere the activities of body and mind were
wholly engrossed in what has be.
come his life work. Yet even this ex.
cursion into a difficult field has borne
good fruit in the shape of most in,

Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DovEp, Aug. 1S.--Whatever hope the
Republicans may have entertained of
carrying Kent County in November next
is now apparently destroyed by the dis
sensions in the party, which, notwith-
standing all efforts to repress, have come
10 the surface
After the last gubernatorial election
several members of the State Capital
Republican club, the leaders of which had
had the conduct Of the campaign, being
dissatisfied with the manner In which it
was conducted, Withdrew from the club
and organized the Young Mems Republi-
can club.
This organization was Immediately
dubbed by the state capitals by the obnox.
ious name of the Higgins Club, IA name
against which the seceders have ever
protested. Notwithstanding their pro.
tests however. there are some reasons
for the name inasmuch as at one Of its
public meetings one Os i.s members. de
clarod that he was Higgins man from
top TO toe.
Besides the club evidently drew its in
SEPARATION from Higgins sources for the

George A. Elliott Hugh G. Brown and
men of that ilk. But be that as IL may.
the Young Mems Republican club has in.
creased i'm numbers and become a factor
I'm the politics of the state. while the
State Capital club was only heard of
when the hat was passed around
for subscriptions to pay expenses.
Finally it gave up the rooms IL had
occupied during the campaign and some
four or five Of it's members whom the
seceders call the still Hunters, rented
a room in the Collision building. TO this
secret organization the Young Mems
club has from time to time extended the
olive branch, and evinced desire for
cooperation and harmony. 20 all of
which overtures the "Still Hunters
took kindly.
Previous to the primaries on Saturday
last the Young Mems club met and
nominated two candidates ont of the
four to be elected as delegates to the
state and county conventions and ap.
pointed a committee to wait ON the other
organization and report with a request
that it should nominate the other candi.
dates, thus giving two to each club. Ia
which the president of the other organi.
cation expressed his satisfaction and
agreed.
But on Saturday, when the election
was TO take place the State Capitals an.
peared in force, ignored the agreement
previously made by their president. and
the Young Mems club, not expecting such
course, and not having made any effort
to have its members and friends present
was beaten. The State Capital club had
everything It's own way, and nominated
for delegates whom IL pleased Now tn,
young men declare that they will not
support the candidates.

expected 20 be the biggest that ever went

Much disappointment is felt in this
city among the friends of Colonel f. G.
Boyd who was prominently spoken Of as
fish commissioner of this state. Colonel
Boyd was pushed ahead In the canvass
by all the young Democrats in this vicin-

young man. but because of his knowledge
of the work of the fish commission and
of the Delaware men now employed in
the United States Fish commission. His
candidacy was also advanced because

Reporters did the Rest.
The citizens are very much irritated
over the sensational stories that have been
sent 20 the Morning News and Philadel-
phia dailies by the reporters here. The
fire burned a portion of the town; the re-
porters did the rest. They did not leave
house on the Delaware side of the line.
The fire was more liberal--it left fifteen
or twenty very fine buildings standing.
They had eight persons missing; one
killed by falling walls; two burned to
death and several badly injured. This is
all fake. DR.. Wright was asked if he
heard Of any such cases. He said
NO the fire was not attended by any
fatal or personally serious circumstances.
There were no deaths, fractured bones OF
serious wounds. There may have been a
few slight burns and scratches, but that

day, December IA, 1861; Princess Alice,
her daughter, died Saturday, December IA,
| 1873.
One of the numerous pathetic incidents
| connected with the death of the Duke OF
Clarence is that workmen were engaged In
! decorating the bridal chamber at st. James
| Palace when the telegram was received
| announcing the bridegroom's death, and
the work of course was abruptly stopped.
The decoration of the entire suite OF apart
ments in the palace which the Queen had
| allotted to the young couple was nearly
completed when the sad news arrived.
Decorations Now Black-Draped.
The grand drawing room is large and
handsome apartment The ornamentatlon
of the walls is not quite complete, bnt the
prevailing hue was to have been blend of
gold and amber, while amber curtains
were to hang from the windows, and
draperies of similar hue have been ar
ranged in the various corners These win
dows are now heavily draped in black.
The smaller drawing-room was already
complete when the intelligence of death
was received at st. James palace The
room has a dark, almost chocolate-colored
suite, and several valuable oil paintings are
on the walls, which are of bright golden
tint The bed rooms and princess boudoir
are not complete, but the latter would have
been charming apartment, is almost pure
white, with an elaborate array of mirrors
What will be done with the unfinished
rooms, or whether they will be completed is
not yet certain.
The Cardinals Remarkable Funeral.
The features of Cardinal Manning's
funeral were the pomp and soiemnity of the
requiem mass in Brompton oratory, and the
somber simplicity of the actual interment
in Kensal Green cemetery. All the poor of
London seemed to have turned out into the
cold, fog-fllled streets, to do homage to
their benefactor's remains on the long jour
ney from church to cemetery.
No similar demonstration of popular love
and reverence for dead man has been wit
messed within living memory. Many poor
creatures, not few barefooted, who waited
in the street or cemetery for hours. must
be now suffering for their devotion. The
demonstrations was palpably spontaneous,
and its magnitude was so entirely unex-
pected that the police arrangements tor
keeping route proved ludicrously made
quate. A the cemetery the crush was pro-
digious, and the good sense and BETTING
reverence of the people alone averted
serious consequences.

A PorENTATE LOSES HIS SUIT.

The Nizsm OF Hyerabad Soaked for a.
100000, tho Value of Diamond Case.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The 81, 600, 600 dia-
mond case Of the Nizam of Hyerabad was
decided in India about three weeks ago
against the Nizam. This distinguished
potentate was beaten in the courts by an
humble though famous dealer in gems and
bric-a-brac, named Jacob, who is said to be
the very person whom Marion Crawford
immortalized under the name of ''Mr.
Isaacs"
The Nizam is one of the greatest of all tho
Indian potentates. His large territory,
nearly two-thirds the size of Bengal, lies
between the Madras and Bengal presiden-
cies He is noted for his triendliness
toward the Empress of India and her Gov
ernment, for the magnifcence of his jew
elry, and for the lavish hospitality with
which he entertains distinguished guests.
