MADE MINISTER TO PARIS.
THOMAS JEFFERSON OOLLIDGE OF
BOSTON NOMINATED.

The Nomination a Surprise to Nearly
Everybody in Official Life at Wash
ington-A Belief That he Was Chosen
as the Representative of the Protec-
ton Democrats.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Ths President
to-day nominated T. jefferson Collidge Of
Boston to be envoy extraordioary and
minister plenipotentiary to France.
The nomination of Mr.. Collidge was
surprise to everybody. Even Senator Hoar,
who had been pressing Mr.. Collidge for this
appointment very earnestly on the Presi-
dent. went away feeling, as he said just be-
fore he left, that it was anything but likely
that Mr.. Collidge would get the appoint.
ment. The President, as he is very apt to
do, made no promises and gave no intima-
tions Of his purpose. He has lively recol-
lection Of the reputation President Hayes
had among public men because he was too
ready to promise what was asked Of him,
and President Harrison has made it rule
never to promise anything where he can
possibly avoid it. 1t was generally
supposed that this fine place would be
given to New Yorker, Andrew
d. White, J. Sloat Fassett and Warner
Miller being considered, and Elliott r.

said that it might even 60 to Massachusetts.
WHY COLLIDGE WAS CHOSEN.
No reasons are, of course, given for the
selection except Mr.. Colleges eminent fit
ness and the desire of the President to recog-
nize in him the democratic protectionists
who left their party when President Cleve-
land raised the standard Of tariff reform
a class toward which the President has al
ways had decided leaning. But the gem
eral opinion among senators and representa-
tives is that President Harrison, who ex-
poets to see both Mr.. Cleveland and
himself renominated, regards Massachusetts,
as likely to be doubtful state next fall,
and for that reason gives an influential
Massachusetts man this first-clAss mission.
Secretary Blaine is content with the selec-
tion, for he is on friendly terms with MIR.
Collidge, but If Secretary Blaine had made
the appointment his intimate friend, Repre-
sentative Hit of Illinois. chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs (of which he
made James G. Blaine, Jr., clerk in the last
congress, who desired to return as minister
to Paris, where he had been secretary of
legation, would undoubtedly have been the
appoinSee.

Harrys became fast friends One Sun
day they boarded a train and turned
their faces TO the west, after
having appropriated q watch, a gun, the
proceeds of a couple OF machines and other
valuables. They were arrested and brought
back. Wise was released on account OF his
health. and died shortly afterward in the
hospital. Leslie has been In Jail ever since.
Few recognized the gay, careless Harry
they had known in the feeble hearded man
before them to-day. Jail life Is fast prov
ing fatal to him. There was technicality
in Leslie's favor. This, with tho sympathy
the jury could not but feel, resulted in a
verdict Of not guilty. A number crowded
around and congratulated him on bis es-
cape.
II. T. Mashs residence caught fire to-
day, but the flames were extinguished
ID. s. Marshall, head lineInan of the
Western Union company for this section,

FOUND DEAD ON THE TRACK.
A Convict Guards Corpse Found anc
Murder Suspected.

ABBEvILLE, GA, April 2S-A tragedy
occurred at Gress' mill, near Goodman,
three miles west OF Abbeville, on the Sam
road last night, in which a convict guard
was killed. He was found on the railroad
track with his head completely severed
from the body, and his arms and body
badly lacerated. Parties who saw the body
say that there was wound in
the left breast, resembling q knife wound,
from which the blood oozed, but that there
was no blood visible about the neck or
elsewhere on the body, This gives rise to
the suspicion that the unfortunate
man was murdered, ard his body
placed on the track. The officials OF the
road decline TO assume any responsibility in
the matter. Justice j. I. Williams, and DR..
A. K. Royal, surgeon for the road at this
place, arrived on the scene, and an inquest
is being held. This is the third man who
has been killed within the past few months
at Gress mill. Two of them were killed
while intoxicated by moving trains. The
inquest will probably determine the cause
OF death in this instance.

Secretary Blaine Opposes Granting 1t
a Right to Land.
WASHINGTON. April %. - Secretary
Blaine appeared to-day before the Senate
committee on commerce and made strong
argument in opposition to the passage OF the
pending joint resolution authorizing the
landing of the French cable on tie shores Of
Virginia and South Carolina. The pith of
the secretarys objection was that the
French Cable Company, cooperating with
the Brazilian government, had an absolute
monopoly of the cable privileges between
the United States and Brazil, and that If the
resolution was passed negotiations which
have been in progress for two years look
ing for the procurement OF con-
cession to an American cable company
to enter Brazil would come to naught. The
secretsry's argument was supplemented by
statement made by Solicitor Partridge,
while the cable company was represented
by jeff Chandler and Eppa Hutton. who
endeavored TO controvert the departmental
view of the proposed legislation. The sec
retary appeared to be in excellent health
and made his argument with spirit and
emphasis.
