Death of Vicar General Murphy.

PORTLAND, July %. Vicar General John
w. Murphy of the Portland diocese and St.
Dominic's Church starting to ride to-day had
just taken seat in the carriage, when the
horse took fright, overturned the carriage
and dragged him 70 feet, bruising him about
the head. He was taken to his home, where
he died shortly after from heart disease with
which he had been troubled several years.
He has been in feeble health for long time.
He was one of the leading Catholics of New
England, was born in Cork, Ireland, and
was 50 years old. He was educated in Dub
lin, and has been stationed at Portsmouth,
Bangor and Augusta. He had been in Port
land at various times, and permanently
since 1884. Through his efforts the new St.
Dominics Church was built.

The New York Herald,
in order, as it says, to
make light the dark places, has
sent to every delegate-at-large to
the Minneapolis convention tele-
gram as follows:
will you kindly wire how your
delegation stands for choice for
President; whether in favor of re-
stricted or unrestricted coinage,
or high or low tariffsT'
Replies to the above printed in
the Herald, show that Mr.. Harri.
son will have 366 delegates, Mr..
Blaine 266, Mr.. Alger %, with
one original Mckinley man from
Montana. This leaves in the
doubtful list 238 delegates and II
is from these that Mr.. Harrison
must get the 81 or Blaine the lS5
votes which are necessary to So
cure the much coveted prize.
On questions of platform there
seems to be an almost unanimous
opinion. Not a delegate appar-
emily opposes the Republican doc
trine of high tariff, while unlimit-
ed coinage Of silver men are able
to muster only seventy.three dele
gates out of the 1913, of which the
convention is composed.
