and Only One Arrest.

HEATHSVILLE, VA. December 1O.-
SPECIAL )-Nothing further has developed
in the mystery which surrounds the death
of the colored lad who was murdered on
his way to school near Rehobeth church,
In this county. The community has been
stirred TO such a state of excitement that
children are afraid to go 10 school unat-
tended Suspicion pointed at first to the
deaf and dumb brother OF the murdered
lad, who was chastised on the day pre-
ceding for imposing on the lad. but the
people In the vicinity seem now TO think
that he is innocent, and there seems TO
be some suspicious in another direction,
but nothing definite has developed. This
murder makes three in number for
Northumberland county in the last month,
and justice seems 10 be slow, as only In
one out OF the three have any arrests
been made.
Mr.. James. the new Methodist Episcopal
preacher has arrived TO take charge OF
his new field in the place of Rev. G. s.
Warmsley. Their new church has been
nearly completed. and they expect 10
hold Christmas services in it. The church

Democratic Governor-e!ect of California.
This decision was reached late Saturday
night at a meeting Of Daniel Burns. r.
B. Cornwall, and other leaders. The
first movement was made In the AFTER
noon, when Chairman Cornwall. or the
Republican State Committee. filed a pro-
test before the city election commits
sioners against n canvass OF the returns
from 10 precincts OF San Francisco on
the ground OF fraud and irregularities
in each. This protest was purely legal
and formal. as the board Is Democratic'
and will simply pigeon-hole the protest.
IL has a material bearing on the Republi-
can procedure, however. as these pre-
cincts gave a plurality equal to that by
which Budd was elected.
The Republicans next move VIII be TO
apply to the Supreme Court for writ
TO restrain the election commissioners
from canvassing the returns in the dis
puted precincts.

CHARGED WITH LEVYlNC 8LAcKMAll
Now York's Ex-PoIlcc Captain Stephenson
on Trial in Court.

NEW YORK, December Io.-Cap-
tain-of-Polce John T. Stephenson was
placed on trial this morning in the Court
OF over and Terminer before Judge In
graham. Captain Stephenson was In COM
rsand OF the Leonard-Street Police-Sta-
tIon. and also of the Church-Street sta
ton during portions Of the year 1891 IL
Is alleged that on various occasions ne
levied blackmail on the fruit merchants
in his district The specific charge made
Is that In September 1891, he accepted
from Martin n. Edwards. of No. l3
Duane street, four baskets OF peaches
and one barrel of apples as considera-
tion for allowing Edwards to violate the
law relating to the obstruction of SIDE
walks
MIR. Edwards gave his testimony be-
fore the Lexow Committee. and admitted
that he had taken advantage or over
lures made by representatives OF the
Cnptain. and had sent fruit to tie home
OF the Captain, according to instructions
received from him. Captain stephenson
was tried before the police commissioners
and dismissed from the force September
g 1894. The evidence produced against
him was practically the same as that
given before the Lexow Committee, and
was furnished by businessmen or the
West Side. Some difficulty Is expected
In the selection OF a jury, which Is now
in progress.
