Mnrdar ON the High Seas.

New YORK, April 17.-Murder on the
high seas Is the charge to which c.
Petersen, 3 sailor on board the British
bark Duleep Singh will have to answer.
The Duleep Singh sailed from Pisagua,
November 80, with a cargo Of nitrate,
and reached this port to-day. Her crew
was composed of British seamen, except
Petersen, a Norwegian. The latter
was from the first the object of perse-
cution by his fellows. February Il
seaman Shields engaged in fight with
Henderson, and was getting the worst
of it, when he seized bar Of iron and
being joined by the rest OF the crew,
had Petersen in desperate strait. The
Norwegian thereupon drew knife and
stabbed Shields twice in the abdomen
causing death. The captain and officers
with difficulty restrained the crew from
taking summary vengeance upon Peder-
sen.

The best previous record on the new
regulation alleys at Wheeling Park, IFS,
made by Mr.. Paul o. Reymann, was
smashed last night by Mr.. Charles
Lamb, a member of the Crescent Club.
Mr.. Lamb made total Of 1875 pins. The
local bowlers are improving as they be-
come familiar with the new alleys, and
scores higher than $50 are frequently
made. Mr.. John Wright's score Of 205
on the Musee alleys will probably stand
for some time as the best local record on
a regulation bowling alley.

A MISTAKEN idea seems To prevail
among the West Virginia Democrats
that JosErH r. CuLroN is standing
candidate Tor any Office that may be
.bourht TO be within his reach, and In
consequence he is much annoyed by the
many criticisms aud petty personal
filings concerning him which often come
20 his notice in the public press. The
fact is, as stated by his friends, that Mr.
CHrroN is not and has not been candi-
date for any Office. Ana though a man
who has attained the high place in pub
lie life which Mr. CHmroN now enjoys
taust expect 20 see his name occasion
any in print, there is no excuse
for constantly discussing man
who continues his assertions that
he IS not candidate for
office. When Mr.. Chiffon becomes a
candidate it will then be time enough
20 discuss his merits and any previous
discussion serves only to encourage dis
cord in the party ranks. Principles
and not men are what the Democratic
PARTY fights for and the discussion Of
personalities viii not help to win.

AFRAID OF THE MIHurr.
esnstsr Duboi6 dalisMhy Makes Hin

Senator Dubois 10 frightfully an
noyed by story which has gained
currency in the press throughout
the country that he will be one 81
the society men who will shortly
dance the minuet at q fashionable
charity entertainment in this city.
It all originated in = little pleas
antry, but it will probably raise
havoc among the senator's mining
constituency in Idaho. The way
the senator explains it is as follows
He was at dinner q short time ago
and was sitting next to Mrs. Carlisle
"Of course you have heard of the
charity entertainment that we are
getting up" said Mrs. Carlisle. Il
was just thinking you would cut q
charming figure in the minuet."
Of course the rudimentary in.
stincts of gallantry-and Dubois
is a gallant gentleman-dictated 9
ready assent to the proposition.
"Why, I should be charmed, .
said the senator, with one of his
most witching smiles.
The matter passed with that, and
the senator thought no more of il
