THE MURDER OF TOBIN
Great Excitement Over the Kill
ing at Armenia, N. Y.
SLAYER KELLY ALMOST LYNcHeo.

The Evidence at the Coroner's Inquest
shows that TObin Was Trying to Save
RelIy's wife From a Beating-The Body
was Left All Night in a Field.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N, Y, May %. The
murder in the town of Armenia, Dutch
ess county, Monday night has caused
great excitement. The murderer is Pat
rick Kelly and the victim was James
Tobin, a farm hand, 20 years old. KEEL
ly lives about a mile from the village,
where he sells cider.
Tobin called at his house and Kelly
refused to admit aim. Tobin started TO
climb through the window, when Kelly
shot him in the head, the bullet passing
clear through. Death was instantane-
GUS.
Kelly then carried the body to a field
close by and left it there until yesterday,
when it was found. Kelly was at once
suspected, and for a time it was feared
that Tobin's friends would lynch the
murderer. Coroner WILDER took charge
of the remains and ordered the detention
of Kelly.
The evidence adduced thus far at the
inquest shows thai the victim thought
Kelley was numbering his wife, and was
hurrying to her aid when killed. Dis
trict Attorney Hufent, of this city, has
been notified, and he is only awaiting
the action of the c%oroner's jury before
demanding Kelly's Indictment.
The resort at which the tragedy oo-
Cured is an unsavory one, and has
many times been the scene Of drunkenness
and debauchery.
Coroner Wilbur, of Pine Plains, said
this mornings "Tobin left his employers
| place last Sunday morning for church.
He was next heard of at Kelly's place,
with Edward McEnroe. Kelly's wife,
who was upstairs, called out that she
was locked up and that her husband was
striking her. Tobin helped her out of
the window, but she went back and was
again locked up.
Before this McEnroe had smashed
two windows. Kelly shot at him, hit
ting him in the shoulder, but the wound
was not fatal Tobin then kicked the
door, broke In another window, and
shouted that he would get the woman
out. AS he started to get in the window
Kelly shot at him, blowing out both Of
his eyes and killing him instantly. Then
he made his wife hold a light while he
dragged Tobin's body forty yards to a
brook. Mrs. Kelly swears that he threat
ened to kill her if she ~disobeyed. Will
liam Pitcher and wife and Robert Nit =
chell were near and Pitcher was wiGhin
fifty feet before the shooting. He heard
the conversation, then the shot, saw
Tobin's body fall out of the window and
saw it dragged away, He did not go
bach to Kelly's.
mo one was notified Of the occurrence
until yesterday. Kelly has been ar
rested on a warrant issued by Justice
Barrett, by direction of Coroner Wilbur,
and is in charge of on officer. Three
witnesses were examined yesterday
Pitcher, his wife and Mrs. Kelly. The
inquest will go on to-day. SE@nas
"Tobin was a single man, with no rel
atives in this country, and was about 80
years old. Kelly is about 81. He wa'
within but a few feet of Tobin when he
shot him, and a few minutes before had
given them all some cider in the yard. .

He SCORED SALISBURY
Gladstone's Vigorous Speech in
the Commons.
THE GOVERNMENT ARRAIGNEO.

Debate on tho Irish Local Parliament
Bil-The Premier's Primrose Address
Stated to BE Nothing but an induce
ment to Civil War.
LONDON, May 25.-All London is talk.
ing to-day of the speech of Mr.. Glad
stone in the House of Commons yester.
day, in the debate on the Irish Local
Government bill,
He said that the bill stamped Ireland
and Irishmen with the most ignomini-
ous inequality, as compared with Great
Britain. The bill falsifed even the
miserable contracted relics of solemn
pledges, whereby the present majority
in Parliament obtained the peoples com
mission in 1886. 1t was a bill, the pro-
moters of which found it expedient to
press upon the acceptance of the people
Of Ireland by menacing them with the
horrors of civil war if they should dare
to refuse the measure thus forced upon
them.
what" exclaimed Mr.. Gladstone,
twas Lord S~alisbury's speech at Covent
Garden but an Indictment to civil war ?
In the whole domain of political litera-
ture it would be impossible to find an
utterance displaying more reckless con-
tempt for the dictates of wisdom, pru-
dence and sagacity. The Government
has apparently ransacked the past for
all the most odious Legislative prece'
dents and combined them all in one
measure, which it has presented to the
people of Ireland as a generous fuldl-
ment of the promises which the Govern
ment has made. No self-respecting man
could serve on the Irish county councils
in view Of the monstrous restrictions on
his liberty Of action.
"The bill is branded in every clause
with the stamp of inequality. Every
evil precedent in the past has been uti-
LIKED by the trainers of the measure in
order to find provisions bad enough to
suit their purposes. Everything good in
previous legislation has been left out;
everything bad inserted"
Returning to his attack upon Lord
Salisbury and his Ulster speech, Mr..
Gladstone said:
at is imperative that the country
should know what defence it is proposed
to offer for the use of such language by
was distinct encouragement to a fe w
misguided men, capable of fanatiCism
and folly, of e~nbodying in deeds the
Prime Minister'S words"
MIR. Gladstone spoke with his pristine
vigor. His voice was sonorous and his
figure was erect. His eyes flashed and
his voice rang through the house with
all the strength of his youth.

NEW JERSEY A DOUBTFUL STATE.
Sixty Thousand New Voters Who VIII Cast
"a Ballot Next Fall.

TRENTON, N. j., May %. The last
bulletin of the Census Department gives
some statistics regarding the voting pop
ulation of New Jersey, which, in view
of the Presidential election, is of more
than ordinary interest. The enumera-
ton made in 1890 of males 81 years of
q and over shows the number to be
413, $50, as against 800, 635 of 1880, an
increase in 10 years of 112, 800, or 81. SO
per cent. The total number of males,
including those who had taken out first
papers in 1890, eligible at the fall cleo
tion, is $50, 849.
AT the last Presidential election $685.
TAI votes were cast, which gave the
Democratic ticket a plurality of 8, l49.
If the census figures are correct, there
will be nearly 80, 900 new voters next
fall, whose politics are unknown. This
new element adds to the uncertainty as
to the result Of the fall election, and
makes New Jersey az exceedingly doubt
