 Going back to the entl ince, MT. Hill CT remarked, pointing toy the brick walk, Right there was found what appeared to be blood, but 1t might have been grease and then the attention was again directed to the door.
 Where was the other bullet found?" MT. Hitler was ask4d.
 T don't know asj it has been found, I can't say about fit, therefore"
 Calling to the servant for lighted lamp, MT. Hillep led the way to the stairway and pointed out the blood stains. From the bottom step large drops of blood appeared regularly and in almost direct line to the top About half way up, where the hand rail was fastened to the wall, was a large smear of blood, which was so pronounced that it Is surprising that it was not discover ed long before it was. Although a week has passed 1t was still a clear red,
 Along the wall there were other spots of blood, and in one place where it was said a heavy blotch was found the wood had been cut out in order that the blood might be analysed possibly to deter mine if it was from a human being.
 A Washington, D. C., dispatch says: A further examination of the records of the war department has established the fact that A. Maxcy Hitler did not serve any time for the homicide for which he was sentenced in Virginia in 1865. His aged and widowed mother put in plea for clemency, and his brother officer, colonel and division commander recom- mended that the case be considered as a special one and worthy of considera- tion, and the prison sentence was re- mitted. He is mentioned as having taken part in the actions about Rich mond with bravery.
 The pardon, which came from Judge Advocate Holt, did not relieve him, however, from the dismissal from the service and loss of all pay and al- lowances.
 The homicide occurred from the ac- cidental discharge of the gun, accord ing to the facts related along with the pardon order, but the court found gross negligence on the part of Lieu 1 tenant Hitler.

Masonic and English Buildings to be
 Taken Down at Once.
 The New Haven road management has decided to pull down the Masonic building at Chapel and Union streets and the English building just east. Engineers were engaged for a time in planning some scheme whereby these buildings could be saved, the plan em- bodying the erection of a heavy steel framework underneath, but it has at last been decided that this would not prove paying investment-that the buildings were not worth it. It was stated to-day that the work of tearing down the corner building would begin in ten days. The railroad people will employ heir own men at the work.
