Burning of the Mill which Produced the

the Stock on Hand.
WASHINGTON. April 16. - Secretary
Foster was yesterday notified that the
Pittsfield (Mass.) mill where the dis

but the Authorities are Trying to Sup
press the Facts, Evidently for a ?ur-
pose.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April 16.-The
circumstances attending a brutal muir
der developed last night win the death
of Samuel Clayton at the City hospital,
but there seems to be an effort on the
part of the authorities to prevent the
facts from coming out. On April Clay
ton was taken to the hospital on Cor
oner Markers order. ana died yester-
day of conclusion of the brain. There
were several bruises at the base of the
skull. but the coroner. who was called
to see him at the Crawford house. says
that they were received by falling down
stairs.
It now develops that Clayton. T. J.
Burton, the keeper Of a gambling room,
and others were playing cards in the
club room at the Crawford house when
a fight ensued. Burton. it is said. beat
CLAYTON over the head with billiard
cue. and the next day closed his place
and left for parts unknown, Clayton
having in the meat:mc been removed TO
the city hospital.
The coroner said lust night that Clay
ton was not murdered, but several
persons at the Crawford house gave the
details of the AFFAIR and the fight of
Burton makes it evident that CLAYTON
died from violence.
