Mr.. BLAINE CALLS.
He Makes his First Visit to the Republican

New YORK, October 20.-There was an
unusual stir at Republican National head
quarters this morning when carriage
drove up containing the form Of James o..
Blaine Mr.. Blaine walked briskly up the
long fight of stone steps leading TO the
main entrance, in a manner hardly TO De
expected Of a reputed invalid. DE was
met by Col. Swords, the sergeant-at-arms,
and escorted 10 the private Office or MIR:
Manley, where he had talk on political
matters. Mr.. Manley afterwards stated
that Mr.. Blaine's visit was purely for the
sake of political conference. The details
of the conference, as it was of contden-
tial nature, he could not make public,
"out,n he added, 'you may be sure that
Mr. Blaine is in hearty sympathy with US,
and will do what he can to aid the tight. !"
"Will Mr. Blaine make a speech during
the campaigni"
No; MIR. Blaine's physical condition
will not permit of it. You must bear In
mind that MIR. Blaine has been in retire
ment siEce the death Of his son Emmons,
and his great Affections have rendered him
anxious to be as quiet as his position as q
public man will allow"
The gentlemen present at the conference
were Chairman Carter, James II. Manley,

Bradley and w. H. Hahn.
Mr.. Mauley stated that Blaine would
probably leave for his home IN Washing

MURDER MOST FOUL.
The Body Of a Sixteen Year-Old Girl Found By
the Roadside-She Had Been Entcsd Away
from Home Assaulted, and Then Murdred-A
Young Man Who Kept Company With Her
Arrested.

WILMINGTON, DEL, October Gown. B.
Carswell, while returning to Wilmington
from his home at Elsmere, suburb OF
Wilmington, to-day discovered the dead
body of white girl apparently about 10
years old partly nude and frighttqlly
mangled. There were evidences OF a deS-
perate struggle.
The body has been identified as that of
Katie Dugan, aged IL years. AT tirstit
was thought that the crime was committed
by one of the negroes living in the vicinity,
particularly as other girls had been out
ragged at this place some time ago.
The belief was, however, quickly dis
pelied when the crowd heard the story of
the girls father, James Dugan. He stated
that at about 5 O'Clock last night he was
entering his house, near the scene of the
crime, when medium sized young man
emerged from the shadow of the house and
disappeared down the avenue.
1t was not long after that when Katie
put on light evening coat, and stated that
She was going out, but would return in a
few minutes. Her younger sister Lizzie,
asked permission to accompany her, but
this request was refused.
The girl left the house and that was the
last seen of her alive. Mr. Dugan also
stated that the girl had received letter
during the morning written In masculine
hand and that she had refused to divulge
its contents even to her parents.
This letter, it is believed, was written by
the murderer, who enticed her to the spot
where the body was found. The authori-
ties are securing the country for miles
around, and every effort is being made to
bring the murderer TO justice.
A postmortem examination was held
this afternoon when it was learned that a
criminal assault had been committed and
that the girl had first been knocked down
by a stone which rendered her unconscious.
Recovering her senses, she fought fierce
lv for all that was dear TO her and until
the knife Of the murderer silenced her.
Detectives at eleven o'clrck tonight ar
rested Richard Riley, on suspicion Of be-
ing the murderer at his home, No. S3l Ben
nett street He kept company with the
murdered girl.

graceful act in foregoing his expected visit
to Chicago on account Of the illness Of Mrs.
Harrison, the London Chronicle says: AL
though generally intensely practical. there
is broad and almost dangerous streak OF
sentiment in the Yankee character; aud

mean votes in November"

Jim Hall. in the middle class, and Jack
McAuliffe, lightweight champion Of

Judge Newton, Of the Coney Island Ath-

wise move when he took quiet trip 10
Chicago in order 10 secure Jim Corbetts
signature for a battle with Peter Jackson.
He was clothed with authority TO make
generous offer in the shape Of a purse
which the club was willing 10 hang up for
a battle between these two celebrated pugl-
lists.
He was thunderstruck when informed that
Corbett had already signed with the Olym-

Mitchell during Mardi Gras weekin Feb
