AN ECHOOF SICILY.
An Italian Foreman Murdered
at Lyme.
THREE MEN SUSPECTED
They Were Bad-a Men and Bore Him
No Good Will.
MIKES" RECORD IN SICILY.
The Supposed Murderers Have Gone to
New York - Two Were Known by
Nicknames, the Third Only by
Number-Omcers on the Case.

LYME, Conn, May 2l.-A shocking MUIR
der was committed some time last night
night at quarry at South Lyme known
as Giants Neck, where gang of Italians
are employed.
The foreman of the gang, who also
acted as interpreter, was known as
'Pete" and Pietro was very unpopular
with some Of the men. Among the other
employees were three Italians. two of
whom were known to their employers
and fellow workmen as ANDY" and
mike"
The third was known only by number.
These men bore intense hatred for their
foreman, owing to the fact that feud
had existed between Pete" and Mike"
for long time, originating by the fore
man accusing mike" of having commit
ted a murder in Sicily.
mike" who was known in the camp
as a desperate character, has upon one
previous occasion endeavored to stab one
OF his companions, aud it is said has re-
peatedly threatened to kill Pete.
At an early hour this morning the men
employed at the quarry were Mortified to
find the body OF the foreman with his
throat cut aud body horribly beaten. His
murderers had also robbed the body of
everything.
Investigation proved that mike" and
candy" and Pete's other enemy were
nursing and suspicion at once pointed to
them as the murderers. 1t was learned
that they had taken AN early morning
train for New York.
The murder created the widest excite
ment among the quarrymen and other in
this vicinity. AS the murder was not dis
covered until several hours after it was
committed the three men had plenty OF
time to cover their tracks
II is believed that ii they reach New
York it would be difficult matter for
the police to catch them. The Italians
employed at the quarry are all known by
number and there is no way telling the
lasts OF the parties to the tragedy.
1t is believed that the murderer obtained
several hundred dollars as the foreman
was known to carry large sum Of money
OH his person CONSTANTLY

WITHOUT A BALLOT
A Significant Prediction from Chair
man ]. S. CIarkson.
A NOMINATION BY ACCLAMATlON.
Fresh from Detroit Mr.. Clarkson IL
Going to washington to See the One
Man who Could Fulnl His Prsdic-
tion-An Appeal to Blaine.
ESPECIAL TO THE sswsa


NEW YORK, May 21-Gen. John 8.
Clarkson, chairman Of the Republican
National Committee, is in this city, hav-
ing come directly from Detroit He is
not anxious to talk politics, but in con-
versation with reporter this morning he
said: "It is my opinion that the Presiden-
tial candidate of the Republican party
will be named at Minneapolis by acclama-
tion"
"Then you believe that no ballot at all
will be takenS"
"Yes. There is only one man In America
who can be nominated at that convention
by acclamation.
Gen. Clarkson has thoroughly recovered
his health, his trip to Hot Springs having
cured him of his rheumatism troubles.
and he Is ready to take of his coat and go
to work for the success of the ticket soon
to be named at Minneapolis.
'The list of doubtful States," he said,
lis greater than ever this year. They In
clude New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire,
Michigan, Indiana, and my own one time
banner State OF the Republican party,
Iowa. We must name candidate who
will be the strongest possible one with
these doubtful States.
''The conditions surrounding the ap-
preaching National Convention are Of
character probably never before known in
the history of National Conventions in
this country. There are great number
of uninstructed delegates, and many of
the instructed delegates come from States
whose electoral vote Is hopelessly lost TO
the Republican party.
"They are from the Southern States
which are surely Democratic. The doubt
full states, the states whose electoral votes
oil ha nd <xf he
surely Republican states have sent their
delegates to the convention without In
structions."
This means plainly that the party, the
rank and file as well as the leaders. have
not determined that any of the yaen who
are seeking the nomination would be .
wise choice as the party standard bearer.
1t can mean nothing else"
what Is to result from such q condi-
tion Z"
"The result will be that the delegates
will come together at Minneapolis. and
then they will determine which will be
the wisest nomination they can make,
They will make that nomination, and
then 20 to work with will to elect the
chosen candidate.
II am delegate at largo from Iowa.
am uninstructed. When l get to Min
delegates from my State, ana then shall
consult with the delegates from the other
doubtful States. believe that this will
be the course pursued by all the other rln-
instructed delegates The result of these
deliberations, believe. will be the agree
ment upon candidate who will be named
by acclamation."
Clarkson will consult with Mr.. Platt
and Mr.. Miller while in New York, and
will then 90 to Washington. He will not
talk about the Alger conference, but 1t is
well understood that he will make per-
sonal appeal to Mr.. Blaine to agree under
certain conditions to accept nomination.

"A Nauseating Disk Once More Served Up
and Warmed Over.

CONCORD, N. H., May 2l.-The Almy
case has been trotted out into prominence
again by the announcement that legal
proceedings in behalf of the murderer will
be taken before the full bench of the Su-
preme Court in the form of raising the
question of the constitutionality of the
law under which Almy was tried by the
court, as the Constitution of New Hamp-
shire provides that no subject shall be
deprived of his life but by the judgment
of his peers. The Almy case was the
first instance in the State when man
has been sentenced to death under this
statute providing that when n person is
charged with "A capital crime and pleads
guilty the court may award sentence
against him according to law. Some Of
the ablest lawyers in the State have ex-
pressed their opinion that this statute is
unconstitutional, and there is "a lively
prospect that the farce of sentencing him
will be gone over with again.
