Pursuing a Murderer.

The Lenoir Topic contains very
interesting account of the murder of
revenue officer Julius ID. Miller in
Wilkes county last Sunday, by horse
thief who gave the name of Mitchell.
The facts as to the killing appeared in

Topic gives these additional particu-
lars:

tense excitement in northwestern
North Carolina and large bodies of
men from Caldwell, Alexander, Wilkes

night, and it looked like war times as

MODUS VIVENDI RENEWED.
The Terms of the Treaty Agreed to by
Both PARTIES.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-There are
strong reasons for believing that a re
newed modus vivendi on the Behring
sea matter, the terms of which were
agreed upon yesterday between Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Mr.. Blaine, was
submitted to the President by Mr.. J. W.
Foster this morning and meeting with his
entire approval, was signed by Mr.
Blaine and Sir Julian Pauncefote on
behalf of the United States and Great
Britain to-day, which is diplomatic re-
ception day at the State department.
The last correspondence on this ques-
tion as made public on both sides OF
the Atlantic-taken in conjunction
with the ratification of the ar
bitration treaty of the United
States Senate, really left moth
ing to be settled except details as
to the mode of announcing and enforc.
ing the modus uivendi, and of reducing
to minimum the vexatious questions
of possible damages which both sides
agreed should be made, if necessary
the subject of future arbitration. 1t il
understood that all these details have
been satisfactorily arranged.
Confirmation Of this belief is found il
the fact that Lord Salisbury has start
ed for the continent toni ght, un
doubtedly with a view of having tn,
matter before the Queen, who is il
nothing more tenacious of her roya
prerogatives than in matters pertain
ing to treaty relations with the foreigl
powers. If further confirmation wer
needed it might perhaps be found il
the fact that our own State departmen
officials have suddenly become as dun
, as oysters, aud that President Harri
, son has gone snipe shooting.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 7.-AccOrdlng
to the firm belief of Mr.. II. G. Sparks,
reputable citizen of Benton, a suburban
town west of this city, the missing
Charley Ross, stolen from his parents in
Philadelphia on July 1, 1874, is
found If Mr.. Sparks is correct in
his belief, Charley Ross, now
arrived at mans estate, is at present
living with and employed by him at
Benton and the world famous mystery
of the greatest abduction sensation
known to criminal annals is about to
be cleared up forever. So strong is
the evidence already gathered in the
case that relative of the boy is even
now en-route from Philadelphia
to Benton, Mo-, to meet the young
man. The relative is expected to
reach here to morrow. Mr. Sparks
says that about four months ago a
young man bearing the appearance of
a tramp, applied to him for work
After becoming acquainted with him,
the young man told him enough of his
history, so far as he could remember
it, to convince Mr.. Sparks that he was

The Republican congressional conven-

and closed in general row. The
Brady faction from Mecklenburg was
recognized in exclusion to the Gordon
faction, which caused the trouble.
Gordon said he and his followers
would remain in the courthouse until
hell froze over and then stand on the

Brady faction retired and nominated
j. +. Lockey, of New Hanover, for
Congress, and elected j. Ii. Young

National Convention. The Gordon
faction nominated y. NJ. Long, of
Richmond, for Congress and elected

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., April T.
Complete returns from all parts of the
State show total vote on State ticket
of "a, 746, an increase of about 10000
over the largest ever polled before.
The two parties rakei every city and
town almost bare of voters, and got
out an Unexpectedly and unprece-
dentedly full vote, both in actual num-
bers and in proportion to the possible
vote. The finished returns show a great
Republican victory. On the State
ticket, Brown, Republican candidate for
Governor, polied 27,464; Wardwell,
Democrat, 25,3S5; Gilbert, Prohib-
itionist. 1887; Burton, Peoples candi-
date, 1873; and IS scattering These
figures show plurality of 2,079 for
Brown and majority of 229. Bull
and Utter, Republican candidates for
Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of
State are also elected by small majori-
ties, but there is no election for At
torney General and Treasurer. The
cities of Providence, Newport and
Woonsocket went Democratic on State
ticket. The legislative returns show a
good Republican majority in both
branches already, with between fifteen
and twenty vacancies yet to be filed. In
the Senate the Republicans have thus far
elected 20 out of SO members, and in the
House Al out of 70 members. This gives
them 81 on joint ballot, majority of 6,
besides the vacancies yet to be filled by
second elections. Most of these failures
to elect are in Providence and Newport.
In the former city only three of thirteen
members of the legislature were chosen,
and in Newport only one of six. The
other failures were scattered among the
small towns. The control of the legisla-
ture by the Republicans gives them the
choice of their candidates for Attorney
General and Treasurer and secures be-
yond doubt the reelection of Nelson
W. Aldrich to the United States
Senate. Mayor Carroll was defeated
for representative in Pawtucke1
and Mayor Honey failed of ar
election for a similar position in New
port, but has another chance on the
second election on Tuesday, there be
ing no election by any candidate fol
the position. The Republicans art
, feeling very jubilant as they have Sc
cured everything to be desired, or th'
assurance of everything-the legisla
l ture, all their State officers and ;
United States Senator; while the Dem
! ocrats are crestfallen, having nothin!
to hope for from the second election
except local influence and endorse
ment, as the postponed trials canno
affect the result in any importan
respect.
