we'll, but were taken in carriages. to
their homes and were kept busy recgiv.

Tony Milaro, was arrested i'm
mediatsly after the fatal blow
was struck and committed to await the
result of Conlon's injuries. Milaro
kept stand at the corner OF Belleville
avenue and Broad street, and was, he
asserts, grievously pestered by the men
and boys who could not pass without
surreptiously helping themselves to his
peanuts
Thursday he resolved to effeetually
check this practice no matter what the
consequence might be, and for that
purpose he made long club of a
broomstick handle. Young Conlon hap
pened along and, it is alleged. stole
few peanuts Milaro rushed from his
stand in pursuit of Conlon, who started
to run, and overtaking the lad, dealt
him several stunning blows which
fractured his skull and felled him to
the pavement.
Terror and remorse seized Milaro
when he saw his victim fall to the
floor and he offered no resistance to ar
rest. Milaro when informed at the
jail today of his victims death fell to
the floor in faint. He is guarded
closely to prevent an attempt at sui

announcement made In positive
u terms by the Brooklyn Eagle,
that the factions excluded from the

a state ticket of their own, with Charles
S. Fair child heading it, and will run
independent municipal tickets in New
York, Brooklyn, and other cities.
According to the Eagle this ticket is
not to he nominated by any conven-

according to the plan set forth. the
disgruntled leaders will meet the latter
part of the present week-probably in
Syracuse--for the purpose OF agreeing
upon ticket. or, rather. upon the
candidates for lieutenant-governo and
associate Judge of the court of appeals,
