PORT CLINTON, May Am Italian,
whose name could not be learned, but
which is Thought to be Tarrales, was en-
ployed as a section repairman on the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad in this
vicinity. The fellow had saved considera-
BILE money, the greater part of which he
usually carried upon his person, and IL is
thought that some one having knowledge
OF this fact committed the murder. The
man worked very regularly, but failed to
show up Tuesday morning Inquiry was
made at his boarding house as to bis
whereabouts but no one could give any
information about him.
Late yesterday afternoon several repair
men had occasion to visit tool house
near the Port Clinton station, and upon
opening the door they were startled to find
the dead body of the Italian lying upon
the floor. An examination disclosed the
fact that the dead mans head had been
crushed, while his body also bore marks
OF violence His pockets had been rihed
and there was nothing whatever found
that would lead to the perpetrators of the
crime.

WARRINGTON, March 15-The fifth day
Of the Pollard Breckenridge trial was de-
voted by tho plaintiffs attorneys to elab-
Grating tine main points already marked
out by them in their case. There were no
sensational incidents, nor was there any
display Of belligerence among the legal
gentlemen, failure grievously disap-
pointing to the populace, which expects
daily excitement from the affair.
Since his encounter of Monday evening
with Attorney Shelby of Lexington, Mr..

appeared in court but twice, not that he
anticipates trouble, but because he is en-
gagged outside in working up the testi-
mony.
Miss Pollard was in court during the
morning, but left when her friend, DIR.
Belle Buchanan, Of Cincinnati, began to
testify concerning the birth Of her first
child. Colonel Breekinridge was there
also and SO were some of his Kentucky
constituents, one of whom secured admis-
sion to the court room on the represent
alton that he holds membership in the
same Presbyterian church in which the
congressman is enrolled.
Most OF the day was occupied by the
reading of depositions from Cincinnati

BROOKLYN. March l5-Mayor Schiren
expresses himself as fully determined to
maintain the position he has taken In re-
fusing to allow the Irish flag to be raised
on the city hall on st, Patrick's Day, not
withstanding the resolution passed at the
recent meeting OF the board OF aldermen.
Without his approval the resolution Is in
operative, and the passage Of the resolu-
tion over his veto cannot be done until ten
days have elapsed. Mayor Schiren says
he is actuated only by what he believes TO
be the spirit of true Americanism. No
other country would consent to have tho
Stars and Stripes hoisted on public build
ing on the 4th of July, and he could not
consistently allow any flag other than the
Stars and Stripes to ba raised.

M'kANE'S METHODS.

Lighting nnl License Funds.

BROOKLYN, March 15,-Lawyer George
+. Elliott, counsel for tho citizens com
mittee of Gravesend, who is helping the
committee to investigate the finances OF
Gravesend, will apply to the supreme
court and make demand on John Y. Nc
Kane or his assistants for permission to
inspect the books and papers OF McKane.
If he succeeds in getting these documents
the information will be used later when
action will be brought on the part OF the
taxpayers against the town officials Of
Gravesend. Mr.. Elliott claims that Con-
troller O'Rourke, s. s. Williamson and
James McKauc, brother of the ex-chief,
have the books he wants to inspect.
The contract price for the electric light
plant was Sic. 900, and the records show
that Mckane drew requisition for s200,-
600, alleging that that sum was to be put
in the building and plant. The sum was
allowed on that requisiton, and on this
requisition McKane drew out at different
times the sum of $4,000. The sum of
go, 900 was paid just before election. The
court will be asked by tho committee to
Investigate what work was done on this
plant. The question now Is whether the
requistion was not S90,0 too much.

in license the sum would amount to tle,-
600 year, but Counsellor Elliott says he
has discovered that ull that was turned in
