Bad Feeling Developed.

There are disputes about several Of
the towns. but according TO the most re-
liable information the standing now is:
Mccullough, 3I9; Clement. 222, and
Proctor, 175- Mccullough lacks 46 votes
Of a majority, and his opponents declare
he viii never get them, as their forces
are more closely bound together by the
issue than his. which we're chosen on
the ground of personal popularity. Bit
ter inyective has been freely INDUCED
in by the party leaders, and the latest
development is bunch Of afidavits
which the Clement men have secured
and are publishing from men who swear
they received money from Mccullough
or liquor from the prohibitionist candi
date for their votes This has stirred
up considerable talk that may be an I'm
po-tant factor against Mccullough, who
is put in the worst light

OF TAAfAIANY MEN.

Loud long and distressful complaints are being
uttered by more than half the heads of depart
ments in the new administration against the strIn-
gency OF the Civil Service regulations as they exist
at the present time. The pressure from district
leaders in the Republican Greater New-York Ne
mocracy and Citizens Union organizations Is some
thing unusual. and Is growing more pronounced all
the time II reports can be believed. Practically
one answer Is returned to these complaints and
that is that the Civil Service rules will not allow
any latitude TO the appointing powers who NAV

cannot appoint to fill the vacancies thus made

GEN. CRozIER ON THE NEW ARMY RIFLE

Washington JAM 25-General Crozier. the Chief
OF Ordnance. has prepared a paper in regard to
the Springfield magazine rife, practically
adopted for the army. in which ne gives some in
terestng statistics TO show the superiority OF that
arm compared with the Krag-Jorgensen rife
in use, the Mauser and the German military rifle.
These figures show among other things, that the
new United States service rife has an initial We
iocity of 2.305 feet a second, against 200 feet for
the -Jorgensen. 400 for the Mauser, and 2145
for the German rife. Although stronger and
perior in other respects the new service rife in
Guiding bayonet and scabbard, is lighter than either
OF the other arms. The rife has calibre of
80 inch, the same the Krag-Jorgensen, and all
four OF the rifles named have a capacity of five
rounds in their magazines

TO THE ..as8
DOOR AND SHOT
A Cleveland POStOffiCe Clerk Was
MysteriousIy Murdered.

The shot which caused death was
probably the second one fired. The
first bullet seems to have gone wide
of its mark and buried itself in the
house wall. The second pierced the
stomach, and 10 close was the muzzlc
of the weapon held that Lynam's vest
was powder burned over a space as
large as a saucer Here Lyman seems
to have raised his hand to the wound
as II to ward off second shot, for one
bullet plowed through the back of his
hand and glanced from the bone.
The news of the murder sped through
the neighborhood like powder fash.
The policeman at once telephoned to
the Seventh precinct police station, and
the lieutenant there Informed the Cen
trail station of the tragedy.
SO mysterious did the crime appear
that large squad Of patrolmen and
detectives were at once detailed on the
case.
The police were at loss to get
start on the murderer's trail until about
half all. hour later Frank Maybury,
i who lives at No. 1496 Harvard street,
dashed into the Seventh precinct sta.
ton, and declared he had just seen and
talked with the assassin.
While passing along Woodland Hills
avenue near the railroad, he said, a
man in state of excitement rose up
| from clump Of bushes and accosted
him. The perspiration was stream.
ing down his face, and he asked where
he could get the earliest train out of
the city. Maybury told him freight
train would soon pass going east.
| When the police were told of this,
Patrolman Holland was at once dis
patched to Newcastle, Pa the home
of the murdered mans wife. Later
a man was arrested on Broadway, but
after being closely questioned was re-
leased. Up to late hour last night no
arrests had been made.

Trouble Is said to have arisen between
him and his wife about two years ago,
and she is said to have applied for a
divorce. This has never been granted,
and the case is still pending. Lynam's
wife is said to live in Newcastle, Pa,
and has the custody of the child.

Cleveland, O., July 24.-"If you are
j. Frederick Lyman this is for you"
With this remark stranger fred
three shots point bank at the man
whom he addressed, inficting a mortal
wound.
What seems to be the strangest
and most cold blooded murder which
has occurred in Cleveland in years,
took place at No. 1916 Harvard ST.
last night Mt 9:15 o'clock.
On his own doorstep, j. Frederick
Lyman was shot down without word
of warning and died 10 minutes later.
Dozens Of Lynam's neighbors were
in their front door yards, but the as
sassin made his escape, and his identi-
ty is as mysterious as the motive for
his crime.
Lyman was clerk at the postoffice,
and was not known to have had any
enemies. He was 36 years old, and
lived at his Harvard st. home with
his brother, James Il Lyman, who
works for the American Steel and Wire
company his mother, and his sister.
Last night his mother and sister
were standing at the front gate when
man unknown to them came down
the street and accosted them, asking II
Mr.. Lyman lived at the house, and
if he were at home. The mother ana
sister preceded the man to the house,
and Mrs Lyman called to her son that
some one was waiting to see him on
the porch, little dreaming that she
was summoning him to his death.
The young man went to the door,
and his brother, who was in the house
reading a newspaper, distinctly heard
everything which was said.
SIS this Mr.. LYMAN" was asked in
a well modulated voice.
Receiving an answer in the affirma-
tive the caller next inquired:
"Are you the Mr.. Lyman who works
in the postofiice?" Again receiving
Eyes" as reply, the stranger shouted:
"If you are J. Frederick Lyman this
is for YOU" and fired. Three shots
rang out, and Lyman sank to the floor.
His brother, mother and sister ran to
him and he was carried to couch in
the front room. After the shooting tho
wounded man said only few words
before he died.
"You know I had no enemies" he
said to his brother, and further de,
clared that he had never before seen
the man who did the shooting. This
statement seems to be borne out by
the fact that the stranger asked par.
ticularly about Lynam's identity. As
to giving a description of his assail-
ant. he could only say that the mur.
derer was about five feet eight inches
in height and between 30 and 40 years
of age.
