CAMDEN. N. j., Jan. 9.-Rev. Henry
E. Cheeeman, pastor of the Eighth
street NJ. E. church. was deliberately
drowned tonight in the Delaware river
at the foot of Chestnut street, by two
men. Officer Zaeser heard the clergy
man cry for help, but owing to the dark
ness wac unable to locate the direction
from which the sound came. He heard
a second cry, but much stiheo. Two
sailors who had also heard the cries
reached the spot about the came
time as the officer. They saw
the body of man floating
in the river, and lesping in, brought it
to shore. Cheesman expired a few
minutes later. Shortly after the cries
were heard, two men are known to have
run away from the wharf. The police
shortly before midnight arrested Isaac
George and Solomon Willis on suspicion
of having committed the crime. What
the clergyman was doing on the wharf
at that time of night, and what the mo-
tive WAS for the crime is a mystery.

DENVER. Jan. 9.-The extra session of
the legislature meets at noon tomorrow.
From present indications the session
will be very short, and the governors
suggestions will receive little or no con-
sderation. Twenty-Five senators are
committed to the policy of immediate
adjournment, and at q caucus today ap-
pointed a committee to prepare an ad-
dress embodying their reasons for taking
this course. In the house the vote on
the question of immediate adjournment
will be very close. Most of the Popu-
lists, it is said, will vote against adjourn
ment. The Republicans have msjor-
ity of one in the house, but it is not
believed they can be induced to favor
immediate adjournment. The state
central committee of both wings of the
Democratic party have adopted resolu-
tions urging upon the Democratic mem
bers to vote for adjournment.
