LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 9.-An-
other person whose name came into promi-
neHce in connection with the famous politi-
cal murder case, in which Hon. John NJ.
Clayton was the assassin's victim, a crime
that startled the entire country and has to
this day remained shrouded in mystery,
has come to violent end.
Word was received here to-day announc-
ing the suicide at Walla Wall, Wash, OF j.
A. Clobentz. last night. ClObentz was
Sheriff of Conway county, Arkansas, at
the time of the famous Breckinridge-Clay
ton Congressional contest, and il was he
who apprehended Clayton on the day pre-
vious to the assassination with an admoni-
tion not to remain at Plummersville. "Mr.
Davton,n said Clobentz tnat day, don't
remain in Plummersville. If you do, you
will be killed"
Whether or not the advice was given
With any positive knowledge on Clob
lentz's part of the fate that was in store
Tor Clayton will never be known 10 the
public at large. Clayton paid no atten-
tion TO the admonition, however, and that
night crime was committed which has
puzzled detectives ever since. Cloblentz
was a prominent figure in Conway
county politics, and after his term
expired, Mr.. Cleveland, during his first
term of Office. appointed him collector Of
the port of Seattle Washington. He held
that position until two years ago, when he
was appointed Warden Of the prison at
WallaWalla, Wash, "a position he was
filling at the time Of his suicide, last night.
No details of his rash act have been re-

The Porte HeSitateS to ACquiesce in American
Investigation of the Armenian OuhageS,
Yet Knows 1t Must Do Something
Quickly.

LONDON, December l0-A dispatch TO
the Standard from Constantinople, says
that the Sultan has not acquiesced in the
mission of Consul Milo Jewett, who was
selected by President Cleveland to inquire
into and report upon the Turkish outrages
in Armenia. The dispatch adds that the
Sultan appears TO fear the effect
OF an independent report TO the Wash
ington government. Sir Philip Currie,
the British Ambassador TO Turkey. Is in
very active communication with the Porte
and the foreign embassies. IL is believed
with good reason that he is pressing the
Porte TO accept some measure that Will
satisfy the outraged public opinion OF
Europe. The Porte is completely alive to
the gravity Of the situation, and seems TO
fear either collective note from the pow
ers or an agreement between Russia aud
Great Britain for an Russian occupation
Of Armenia.
LONDON, December 10.--A dispatch 70
the Chronicle from Rome says that Italy Is
in full agreement with Great Britain and
is ready to consent to European interven-
ton in Armenia.

HouseS-The Fire Ragged for Six Hours.

New YORK, December 9-The Dutch
steamer Prinz Wilhelm III. arrived thls
morning from West India, touching at
Port au Prince on December 3. She
brings the news of big ire that broke
out there on December 30, at p. m, in the
poorer quarter Of the city, which is on an
elevation. More than one hundred dwell
ing houses were destsoyed before the fire
men succeeded in subduing the flames.
No lives were lost, however, and
none of the business portion Of the
CITY was burned. The fire burned
furiously for about six hours, during
which time the tiremen worked under
great disadvantages owing TO the elevated
position of q portion of the houses. About
9 o'clock the fire was gotten under control,
although its PROGRESS was not entirely
STAYED.
The flames were first seen bursting
forth from dwelling where lighted can
dies had been left on an altar and they
communicated quickly 10 the adjacent
houses, which were chiefly occupied oy the
poorer classes. A religious celebration
was going on at that date.

The ball games which few years ago

smashing noses, breaking fingers and kick
ing souls out OF mems bodies in the name
of athletics. The Gladiatorial shows OF
Rome, the bull fights OF Spain and our
prize fights are refnements compared with
the foot oall brutality OF to-day. Every
