Mutton Devlin, of Woodbridge, Sought
Fight and Got It.
WOODBRIDGE, N. j., Jan. 16.-Thomas
Devlin, alias Mutton" the bricklayer,
who was shot and killed yesterday morn
ing, was looked upon as the village
bully, and one of his amusements was
annoying a gang of Hungarians who have
been working just outside of the village.
With two companions, Devlin was in
James McGowan's saloon on Main street
about o'clock in the morning, when
Andrew George, one of the Huns, en-
tered the saloon and bought pint of
beer.
Just as he was going out Devlin tried
to grab the pail, and in doing SO split a
part of the beer on the floor.
A number of other Huns ran up when
they saw what had happened, and fight
was expected.
Before this could take place, however,
George drew a revolver and fired five
shots at Devlin. One of the bullets en-
tered his left breast and lodged in the
heart.
He fell to the floor dead. George ran
out and disappeared, but later surren-
dered himself to Constable Mcdonald.
Devlin's companions have not been seen
since the shooting.

In SENATE AND HOUSE
Forecast of the Work Mapped
Out for This Week.
ANr1-oPTIoN TO BE DISPOSED OF.

Not Hoped that This Can be accomplished
without IA Hard struggle-The Oppose
ton to the ImmiG ration Bill Commerce
Committee Plans.
WASHINGTON Jan 16.-The week prom
ises to be eventful in the Senate. Save
the passage of the Quarantine bill the
Senate has accomplished very little and
not one of the annual appropriation bills
has been passed
The Committee on Order of Business
has determined that something must be
done to advance the public business. 1t
was at the suggestion of Mr.. Sherman,
Chairman of the Committee, that Mr..
Washburn gave notice that he would ask
the Senate to sit Wednesday until the
Anti-Optiou bill is disposed Of
That this can be done without a bitter
struggle is not expected. What will
follow the Anti-Option bill will be de-
| cided by the Committee on Order of Bust
ness before Wednesday.
At present the indications are that
priority will lie between some of the
Interstate Commerce bills, if Senator
Cullom is able to resume his duties, the
| Nicaragua Canal bill, and perhaps a
| resolution to repeal the Silver Purchase
| act
Mr.. PETER of Kansas is down for a
| speech on the limitation of the Presilen-
| tial term, and Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont on
| the McGarrahan bill, both for to-day.
| The majority have mapped out big
programme for the House. To-day is
suspension day. Efforts will be made to
| pass the Raum Pension Office report and
| the bill for the election of Senators by the
| DeODle bV n O-thirQS vote
| The majority of the Rules Committee
| has decided to allot tomorrow to bills
coming from the Judiciary Committee,
| Wednesday to the Immigration bill,
| and Thursday and Saturday to bills
| originating with the Committee on For
| eign and Interstate Commerce Commit
| tee.
Friday, under the regular rules, is pri-
| vate bill day. There is some opposition
| to the Immigration bill, and it is hardly
| likely that one day will suffice for its
passage.
The friends of the Quarantine bill, re
ported by the Committee on Foreign
and Interstate Commerce, which will,
it is contended, meet all the evils as t.
cholera which the immigration bill was
designed to remedy, are opposed to the
| immigration bill.
The Quarantine bill was antagonized
very strongly by the State Quarantine
officers of New York, but a part, at least
of this opposition has been withdrawn.
There is probability of some trouble
for each of these bills from the opposition
of members who favor the other of thu
two members.
The Commerce Committee has q for
midable list of measures which it hopes
to pass, headed by the Omnibus Light
house bill and the bill for the erection o
a couple of additional revenue cutters.

Dempsey's Attorney Says They Have
Tribed Their Witnesses.
PTrTsBURG, Jan. 15.-The trial of
District Master Workman Dempsey, of
the Knights of Labor, charged with COM
plicity in the plot to poison men at
Homestead, is being continued to-day.
There arrived in this city last night
VIM. G. Kaiss, q coal dealer, of Balti-
more. He had a letter written by DR..
James Cooper, one of the witnesses for the
Carnegie company, in which, it is al
legged, the writer said he had received
money from the Carnegie company.
AS he performed no professional SER
vices for the company, the attorneys for
Dempsey claim there is no other conclu-
sion but that the money was taken by
him for services as n competent witness.
Attorney Porter, chief counsel Cor
Dempsey says he has Il clear case of per-
jury and bribery.
Proceedings will follow later, when the
Carnegie company and DR., Cooper will

lac Nu.Orauo Gold Fever.

AAS GG4orS.AO cold Fever.
The greatest gold fever that has
stricken Colorado since the Ruby and
California gulch diggings drew thou
sands of miners into those camps has
now complete possession of the west.
In every camp in Colorado, New Next
co and Arizona, there is nothing talked
of except the new placer fields of the
San Juan river in southern Utah. AT
Durango, Rico and Dolores, in Colo
RADIO, many outfits have already been
started for the new fields. At Albu-
querque, N. NJ, and other points along
the lines of the Atlantic & Pacific, the
excitement is intense, and railway Of
fcials and clerks have thrown up their
positions and followed the great army
of gold hunters. The fact that of the
many who have already gone on to this
country none have retmned, is strong
evidence that the land is rich enough to
keep them there.

ONE of the professional men employed
to conduct the investigation in regard
to the condition of the United States
greenbacks in circulation reports that a
one dollar bill he examined contained
three kinds of bacteria, and that the
culture made of the notes submitted to
him showed that there were bacteria
colonies on each one of them capable of
invading the human system. A Lon
don journal, speaking of kindred exami-
nations in England, declares that on
two bank notes examined there 10000
were found. We should not pay much
attention to news items of this char
acter were it not from the dread we
have of Asiatic cholera, almost sure to
do great damage in our land this year.
1t is not strange, when we come to
think of it, that money gets into filthy
condition. Not only are bills slowed
away in greasy wallets and hidden in
noisome corners, but they are kept and
handled by all classes and conditions of
men.

M,cLELLAN's FATAL MISTAKE.
DIsregarded a SuborIinate's Warning and
Lost IA Great Opportunity.

Lost Great Opportunity.
MILTON, Pa, Jan. 16 - A batch of
manuscript belonging to the late Gen. ].
Irwin Gregg, for many years citizen of
Lewisburg, Pa, has just been found. 1t
includes a copy of a report of Gen. Gregg
to Gen. Mcclellan when the latter COM
manded the Army of the Potomac.
Gen. Gregg, who at the time was a
colonel commanding Il regiment, was de-
tailed as commander of McClellan's out
posts and while occupying that position
he discovered that Gen. Johnston of the
Southern Army was moving on McClel-
lan's flank. He reported the movement
to Mcclellan at once, but the Union COM
mander could not be convinced of the &C
curacy of Gregg's report, and therefore
did not take the precaution that he should
have taken.
Three days after Gregg submitted his
report Mcclellan found out that his
subordinate officer was correct. Johnston
suddenly attacked the Union forces on
their flank and Mcclellan was forced to
retreat. Then the fighting on the PENN
sula ensued, the Southerns followed our
army to the James River, where the hard
fought battle of Malvern Hill followed.
Mcclellan was relieved and Pope who
was placed in command, met Johnston at
Bull Run and was fearfully routed.
1t is commended that had Gen. McClel-
Ian taken the advice of Gregg, when the
latter first reported Johnston's contem-
plated move on the flank of the Union
forces, Richmond could have been taken
and the backbone of the rebellion broken

GEORGE ]. GOULD since the death OF
his father is said to have received an
average of four letters of advice daily.
All of the cranks in the country, for
getful of the fact that young Mr.. Gould
was associated with his father in bust
ness for twelve years, and that he had
almost entire control of affairs for the
last two years, are eager to tell the
young man how to manage the vast es-
tate in his charge. A goodly proper
ton of these would-be advisers are
anxious to have share of the Gould
millions diverted into religious and
charitable channels. One writer ad-
viscs the Gould children to build the
largest and finest church in the world
as u memorial of their father.

WE are getting some record breaking
winter weather these. days. The oldest

find its parallel for sustained zero tenn

means confined to this section of the
country, but takes in a very large por'

have had more real vigorous winter
weather during the last three weeks
than for several years. Nor does it ap
pear from the representations of the
weather sharps that the season has YET
reached the climax of it's severity.

IT is claimed that the production Of
beet sugar in the United States has in
creased from COOS tons of 1000 pounds
each in 1891, to about $4,000 tons in
1892, yet this makes n small figure be-
side the 100000 tons of 2,24o pounds
each which is the estimate of the
worlds crop this year, as given by a
German authority. Yet we made a
gain while other countries fell off in
production, as the total supply last
year was placed at S,4o1, 900 long tons.
