ment which arose during ths hearing
OF a civil suit instituted by Mr.. Brad
ley against Mr.. Ruegg for sum OF
money. due Mr.. Bradley. Ruegg made
certain statements and threats which
Mr.. Bradley did not relish The lie
was passed. and for a minute there
was some shuffling and sidestepping
Mr. Ruegg. II appears, had done
some work for Mr.. Bradley at mis-
bungalow. and 1t was concerning ING
over which the argument started.
1t was said yesterday that MT. Brac-
lev had four members of the Madison
Ward delegation with him--Messrs
Jones Workman, Fuller and Choat-
wood.
Alderman Christian last night ac-
MED that he had deserted Dr..
Mathews THE report liz without the
slightest foundation" declared Major
Christian.

nomination OF Mr.. Mccarthy, win
Hirchette as second choice.

result may be.

at rest as to the race to which the
dead man belonged.
While the officers have not given
up the search for clues to the identity
of the man and of the murderer it IS
: case which battles public opinion
as no man, either white or colored,
has been missed from the vicinity nor
can anyone assign any reason for the
preparation of the crime. It is gem
orally thought that the deceased was
a stranger in this section and the
motive possibly robbery. The neigh
borhood Of the crime is occurIsd en-
tirely by negroes, and at this point
on the river the swamp or hammock
is quite wide and the territory alto
gether a very wild one, well suited
to the purpose of crime.
Further developments in the case
are awaited with interest.

the pontif expresses deep affection

at learning that indignation over
Louis La Tapie's interview with him
has been appeased in France, says:
1.-THE interview reproduced neither
our thought nor our sentiments and
many passages in it were invented

that country so noble and so gen
erous to which it has. pleased US to
give testimonies of our sovereign be-
nevolence and to which it is sweet
to us to apply the glorious title eldest
daughter of the church certainly
could not doubt our love for her OF
