New York, April 21.—On Saturday afternoon James Ritchie, a patient of the fawns asylum, Who has been an inmate since 187S, and who is a harmless imbecile, was herding cows hear the old home. A heifer got frightened and beg& romping and jumping around. Ritchie ran after the unruly beast toward the shore and pile of bones. When pretty near the latter point ha saw three men, who had evidently como to rob the pile, and who had a Rmall boat drawn up on tho shore near by. Just as Ritchie caught sight of them, one of them, who apparently thought the lunatic was an official running to intercept his party, threw up his hand, a flash followed, fcud Ritchie fill to the ground Srith a bullethole in his head. Tlie shooting was witnessed by two little girls, Nettie Kennedy, aged 9, the daughter of tho fnsano asylum steward, and Kittie Wilner, aged 7, who were sitting on the piazza of the engineer's house about 300 yards away from where the man fired. rate*. Gordon Aahing for Money From Eng- Buffalo, N. Y., April 31.—A oltfer robbery was committed at the office of J. £.yth St Bonn, dealers in tile and sewer pipe, Saturiay. Just aftcj the bookkeeper, tad returned from dinner and opened the vault, where the boob and valuable articles are kept, a well-dressed man stepped up to. an Dltlee window which fronts tho yard in tlie rear and said, "I want some tile." The only :lerk about the office just tlien was sent to wait on 'him. A few moments later a man opened the front door of the itore and said, "A giaa in a buggy wants to talk with you." The bookkeeper went out to the walk and was engaged in conversation by tho occupant of the bnggy, who was well dressed, and who wore a high hat. The man asked numerous questions about sower-pipe and its prices, and said lie would caH again. The man in tho yard said he wanted some pipe shipped to Humbn-sr, and also left, saying he would return. Ho hud taken particular pains to lead the clerk away from tho rear window. About'J o'clock the bookkeeper entered the vault to change a bill, and was astonished to find that his cash box, containing nearly 100 drafts for about $400 and some papers of value was inissiug. It is supposed that while the two men engaged the bookkeeper and clerk an accomplice entered the store and stole the box. The thieves evidently know where to find what they wanted, and probably had previously learned the bookkeeper's methods. Thieves obtained Ifeo Cash-Box.

BIr Brtlrn Raring: Ordered to England Oakey Hall Writing to the London Papers — Jamei Stephen* on tbe Dynamite Poller. N*w York, April at .—There are two event* of special political interests in the cards for the present week In this state. The Republican state convention at Uttaa and the first meeting of tbe Democratic state committee. Atthe latter,which tt is now said may be postjBtad until after the adjournment of the Jsjnlature, the principal business will be the fixing at a ttme and place for holding the Democratic slate convention. The preferences of prominent. Democratic members of the legislature in this respect as well as their individual leaning in the selection of a presidential candidate are made known in the following brief interviews: Utioa, N. Y., April 81.—The Republican rtate convention meets here on Wednesday. Among the delegates thereto are Speaker Sheard and Assemblymen Roosevelt, Husted, Haral, Lewis, Locke, Bailey, Veeder. Hawkins, Hunt, O'Neil and several others* At least a score of Republican assemblymen will be called away from Albany by this event, leaving the majority in a minority. The votes of delegates show that the anti- Arthur men have tho convention. But it it not quite clear that Blaine will have it. Of oourxe the fight is between these two. There are 497 delegates in the convention. One estimate gives—Blaine, If*); Arthur, 100; Edmunds, 75; any one but Arthur, 87; unknown, 27. Between now and the time of meeting several combinations are possible. For instance, the Arthur and Edmunds men may make common cause to beat Blaine out of the delegates-at-large, or all the anti- Arthur elements may coalesce so as to leave the president in the position of asking a favor which his own state is not willing he should have. Tho Time* confirms the statement that there will be a conference of the Irish bishops at Koine in the autumn. London, April 21.—Canon Brennan is dead. It is believed that the expulsion of several Irish-American agitators from Paris .will soon occur. An interview with James Stephens, the ex- Fenian head center, is published, in which ho predicts Uiat the dynamite policy will result in the Irish residents in England being ostracized or drawn from the country.

There are nearly a tundred members who have asked the speaker 'or recognition and whose names are on the ist. The bill is likely to come up on Tuesday, although Mr. Morrison may give a couple of loin's at the beginning of that day to Mr. .lancock, to conclude l ie consideration of he pension appropriation bill. The Congressional Record has already reached the ize of the ordinary volume for the month, md a new volume was begun. Three young men with a very bad reputation have been arrested as the supposed criminals. Their names are John Flannigan, Thomas Brown and William Glynn, and tho two former have been identified by the children. Other damaging testimony has also been discovered, among which is a pistol, said to belong to Burns, with one chamber empty. Mr. A. Oakey Hall writes to The Times pointing out defects in Sir William Vernon- Harcourt's bill to provide improved dwellings for the London poor. He cites his observations in Now York and Boston as arguments against the measure. Senator John C. Jacobs—I think the convention will be held about the middle of June, in either Albany or Utica. I have but one candidate—Mr. Tilden. It is useless to talk of anyone else until ho has given un unequivocal assurance that he is not a candidate. Senator M. C. Murphy—Saratoga, well on in June.

The loyalty of the people of Khartoum, and his own critical position, justified him, ho thought, in appealing for money. He would appoint Zebehi Pasha to the command of the troops. The New Orleans Exposition. Washington, April 21.—Major E. A. Burke, director general of the world's industrial and cotton centennial exposition, made on Saturday a long detailed report of the progress of that enterprise to the president. That report shows that the people and governments of Mexico, South America, Europe, and other foreign countries, have taken action looking to a large representation of their products and industries, and that most of the states ot this country are deeply interested in and expect to contribute to its success. It also shows that the New Orleans exposition has made greater progress thus far than was ever mode by a similar undertaking at home or abroad at a period so long before its opening day. The facts stated indicate that this next international exhibition will fully equal in extent, variety and interest that held in 1870 at Philadelphia, and that as a display of natural resources and agricultural products of tho two Americas, it will surpass anything before attempted. Yours Bespectfully, A. A. HERMANS. Suauokin, Jan. 1C, 1782. Senator John J. Kiernan—I believe Gov. Cleveland to be the most available man. Next to him I favor Flower. We must have a New York man. The Arthur men have the advantage in their control of the state committed?"which will put the temporary organization in the hands of Arthur's friends. The Blaine men see this, and are disposed to be conciliatory. They are prepared to accept a mild-mannered Edmunds man, like James W. Wads worth or Theodore Roosevelt, for temporary chairman, if the Arthur men will consent. They think that the Arthur men will be ready to do so in order to keep on good terms with the Edmunds idealists. Tbe Swiftest Ocean Fauae*. Niw York, April 31.—The Guion steamer Oregon arrived at this port from Liverpool Saturday evening, having completed the voyage from Queenstown in six days, ton hours and thirty minutes, the best on record either from Queenstown to this city or tho other way. Her record beats that of the steamer Alaska, of the same known as thj "G rebound of the Atlantic," by eleven hours and ten minutes for the westward voyage, and excels the latter's eastward record by eight hours and seven minutes.

To dispose of the appropriation and tariff lills, and even a fraction of the 286 bills emioC1ying general legislation now on the alendars, will require much closer attention o business than has thus far been manifested Dy congress, or the session will be protracted nto the fall months. Senator J. Hampden Robb—For the con vention I favor Saratoga. After Tilden, I favor Payne. Payne and Flower would be a good ticket. The governor of Berber telegraphs that thC town is almost entirely surrounded by rebels, and that the situation is desperate. The telegraph clerks have requested permission tc leave.

Up our way the Democracy want the man who can be elected president SHOT AT A PICNIC. V Young Clrl Goes to Confesstou and The Blaine men want to elect Alonzo B. Cornell, Frank Hiscock, Warner Miller and Whitelaw Reid as delegates-at-large to Chicago. The Edmunds men and tho Young Republicans generally are very anxious to defeat Miller and Reid. They are going to concentrate on Theodore Roosevelt, and try to induce the Arthur men to join with them in putting him through. Reid will get tho vote of tho John O'Brien men, besides the rural Blaine vote, and is pretty sure to pull through, but if O'Brien should not help Miller. Mr. Roosevelt may beat him. Miller's friends are beginning to fear the success of tho young Now Yorker, and are raising the cry that RoosevoU-is a free trader, whom it would be unsafe to put forward at this juncture. They point to Miller as the staunch friend of American industry, particularly the wood-pulp branch of It. The Arthur men have not mado known their slate for delegates-at-large, probably for the reason that they do not expmi to elect any. Tiienee to WwhlnKton Park.

Nkw York, April 21.—Katie Murphy, a pretty girl of eighteen, lies dying to-day at ier home, at No. 329 East Thirty-third street, from a bullet wound inflicted either by a policeman or by one of a gang of roughs whom tho officer was attempting to disperse in front of the entrance to Washington park, the well-known pio-nic grounds at the foot of East Seventieth street. po*n It is reported that the garrison of Shendy, while trying to escape to Berber, have been attacked from both sides of the river and completely massacred.

He is 30 years old, 5 feet 2 inches high, with dark complexion, curly black hair, and a scar on tho inside of ono hand. Recently he approached two business men here, claiming to iiave discovered a valuable mica mine on a farm near the city, and showing specimens. He proposed a partnership, the men furnishing $1,000 and he $l,.r)00 to purchase the farm. The men, lielieving they saw a big t/oke, accepted. Joyce requested an advQnoe of $400 to bind the bargain. They gave it, and Joyco, leaving "the town the samo day, has not been heard of since. Col. Ashburnham, acting governor of Suakira, boa proclaimed that there will be no more tons levied for the present. Ho advises the sheikhs to remain quiet, but to defend themselves if menaced. He also urges them to assist in opening the roads to Berber and Kassala. Lower house statesmen expressed themselves as follows: Rico, of Ontario—The convention had better not be held earlier than June 10, at Syracuse or Utica. I am for Tilden if a candidate. Next to him, Bayard On Saturday evening Katie went to confession, aj)d instead of returning home went, without the knowledge of her parents, to the picnic of the "Junior Sylvan Stars" at Washington park, in company with Lizzie and Jennie Atkinson, Michael Murphy and John rtuly. When they left the park at midnight a number of young roughs stood in a vacant lot in front of the entrance and hurled stones at the picnickers. Officer Thomas Dondine ordered them to disperse. They replied with a fresh volley of missiles. The officer then drew his pistol. As he did so it was discharged, the bullet grazing his left forefinger, inflicting a slight wound. In return several shots were fired by the gang, and Miss Murphy fell to the ground with a bullet in her head just iiehind the right ear. Her friends think that the shot came from the officer's pistol, but there seems to be little doubt that it was fired by one of the roughs. Osborne, of Duchess—I favor Syracuse, and the middle of June. I am an original Tilden man. For the Washington Headquarters. Washington, April 91.—Hon. Lewis Beach, chairman of the joint congress com mlttee on the Newburg centennial, has sent to the Washington headquarters trustees at Ne'wburg, a photographic view of a new design for the centennial monument it is propped to erect on the headquarters grounds. The design by Emlen T. Littell and Douglas Smyth, of New York city, represents a monument eighty-three feot high from the ground, with a base of Qothic pyramid, airmounted by a round shaft. On the shaft are garlands at equal distances, and a bronze figure of liberty at tbctop. On the sides of the base are panels of bronze containing 1msrelief illustrations of revolutionary event* and inscriptions. At the front of the monument, and upon a blue stone platform surrounding it, is a bronze figure of Wuslilngton addreaMng his army. The finished monument is to cost $35,000, and specifications, which accompany the design, cull for itf completion in one .year from the, time at signing the contract A large dumber of refugees, owing to short dssb of provisions, left Shendy a few days ago in a steamer for Berber. The steamer ran aground on a sandbank near El Baala, and was soon surrounded by swarms of rebels, who attacked the steamer on all sides and massacred everybody on board. The fugitives numbered 4o0, including a portion of the Shendy garrison and many women and children.  Wilson, of Erie—The nearer home the convention is held tho better I will like it Tilden our best bold, but if Cleveland is a candidate Erie will be with him. Welch, of Niagara—Syracuse, after the Republican national convention. Tilden's letter Is net a definite withdrawal. I am for the old ticket My second choice is ClevelandHowever things may result here on Wednesday, it is quite settled that Arthur's name will be presented at Chicago, if for no other reason than to prevent Blaine's nomination.

The.transfer may be made to Edmunds or Hawley or Lincoln, with the chances in f»vor of the first named. 6 Haggerty, of New York—Saratoga, by all means, after the Republicans get through at Chicago.

He says that Washington opinion places Blaine far in advance for the Republican nomination. Arthur is by no means considered out of the race, but Blaine has developed so mucl) strength that many at tluD capital consider bis nomination on the first ballot assured. On the other hood, there is a strong feeling among the Arthur men that Logan and the friends of Edmunds will unite on Arthur or some other candidate as yet unmentioned, and by such combination defeat Blaine. Edmunds is everywhere ackliowledged as a safe candidate, und one hi whom evory one has confidence, but he lacks the element of personal popularity that is so strong in Blaine, and which Arthur has to a considerable degree. The Republican senators are said to have agreed that an adjournment sine die of the legislature cannot possibly he had before May 15.
