It is understood that Engincer Melville hassince his recent family troubles expressed some doubt as to the propriety of accepting the public recep- tion on his arrival in this city which it has been expected would be given to himself and comrades. ‘The sentiment of those having the matter In charge is that the reception should undoubtedly take place, and arrangements to that end are being perfected. Mr. Melville will probably arrive in thts city by the ilaited express, reaching here at 4 p.m. on Saturday next, and It is expected that the demon- stration in ts honor will be a grand popular ova- tion, Members of the committee say that this ception 1s Intended to honor others as well as Mel ville, and. thav furnishes a reason for not surren- dering to Melville's doubts, AOS ee The Loss of the Jeannette, LIEUTENANT DANENHOWER’S RE PORT. Lieutenant Danenhower called at the Navy de- partinent this morning and submitted to Acting Secretary Walker his report upon the loss of the Jeannette and the attending clreumstances, and also his experiences from the time he separated from Engineer Melville untft his arrivul here. Lieutenant Danenhower has been engaged upon this report, as his health would permit, sinco his return, and it makes quite a voluminous docu- ment. "The contents, however, will not be made pubile until Engineer Melville has submitted his Teport, and probably not until the investigation of the loss of the Jeanne tte, which ‘was authorized by Congress, is made. a A WASHINGTONIAN NoMrn argD FOR CONGRESS.— Hon.

FLIGHT AND SUBSEQUENT SURRENDER OF THE MUR- DERER. This morning about 1 o'clock, at the corner of 4th and N streets northwest, George Hill a well- known colored young man, restding at 414 N street, wasshot by Charles Hamilton, another colored man, residing at No, 1812 4th street. Hill died in about half an hour. Hill was ayoung man of about twenty-four or five yearsof age, who has been employed by Clark & Trunnell, dry goods merchants, for seven years past. He bore a good reputation. Hamilton is about twenty years old and 1s well known as a clarionet player in the National brass band, and has been regarded as In- clined to recklessness of conduct. Immediately on tiring the shot Hamiiton ran off. but subsequently was arrested by Sergeant Saffell, of the second precinct. JEALOUSY. It appears that Hamliton had been keeping com- pany with a colored girl named Mary Tutt, a daughter of a laborer at the Northern (0 street) market. Recently Hill appeared to have sup- planted him in the young woman’s affections. Last night, about 11 o'clock, Hill and the girl passed the corner of 4th and N streets, on their Way home from the Third Colored Baptist. church, N street,between 4th and 5th streets,and Hamilton was standing there with several others. Hill see- ing Hamilton, left the girl and asked if he had sald that he’ (Hamfiton) would mash his (HIII’s) mouth, and received a negative reply. \ After further conversation Hill escorted the girl home, and then returned towards his own home, only a short distance from the corner where they had met Hamilton. Hamilton, who was sitting on steps of a store, upon secing Hill again, poured out a torrent of abuse upon him, and drawing a revolver, DELIBERATELY FIRED one shot. ‘The ball entered Hiil’s left side, in the region of the heart. Hill was carried to his home and Dr. Newton was summoned, but Hill died in about half or three-quarters of an hour. The police were soon on the ground and started in search of Hamilton. About 6 o'clock this morning Hamilton walked Into the second precinct station and was taken into custody by Sergeant Saffell. ‘The coroner was notified this morning, and Dr. Hartigan, assisted by Dr. Newton, made an au- topsy, and the time for the Inquest was fixed for noon to-day. EXCITEMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. The affair created great excitement in the nelghborhood, where the impression prevails that itts a deliberate murder. The assertion was mate there this morning that when the case comes to trial it will be shown that yesterday Hamilton, threatened to “get away” with Hull. HAMILTON PLEADS SELF-DEFENSE. Hamilton was brought from the second precinct about 11 o'clock to-day to the sixth precinct, on Massachusetts avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, and in an interview with a reporter of THE Sar he sald that after the occurrence he ran away and went to a friend’s house, where he went to sleep; that as soon as he awoke he walked to the second precinct station-house, and he did not know that Hill was dead till he was locked up, and then Sergeant Saffell told him. He states that he for- merly went to see the girl, and that they were en- gaged to be married; at least she wanted him to mnarry her, but his mother objected and he would not marry. He left off going with her sometime about last Christmas, and afterwards Hiil got to going with her. Last night he went with some of the band serenading, and while standing on the corner playing some’ one passed by him ind: put his hands on his shoulder, when he turned and found it was HilL Hill said: “Dia you say you would smash my moutli,” and he (Haunliton) sald “No.” Hill then said something about his not being a chicken, and the girl sald something he could not understand, and they went off. He and some others then sat on the steps and stood about the corner. About one o’clock one of them Started to the pump, but returning said Hill was around on 4th street, and maybe intended that he (Hamilton) should not go home.

NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. MR. McCOMAS NOMINATED AT FREDERICK. MASSACHUSETTS AND CONNECTICUT CONVENTIONS. STAB ROUTE CASES IN PHILADELPHIA ECHOES FROM THE NILE. ‘The Saratoga Convention, ‘THE FOLGER MEN AHEAD, ETC. Special Dispatch to 1ue EVENING Sra SaraTooa,Sept. 20.—The convention met at 11:20 a.m. The first point has been scored for the ad- ministration side. The Corneil and Wadsworth men decided to make Senator E.S. Pitts temporary chairman. When the half-breed state commitiee met this morning his name was presented, and the Folger men promptly named ex-Senator E.M. Madden. The committee selected Madden by four majority. This was a surprise to the anti-admin- {stration men, for they supposed they had the state committee. The first contest in the open convention, as in the committee, on temporary chairman, has re- sulted In a victory for the administration side. Mr. Madden was named for chairman by Mr. Sharpe on behalf of the state committee. U. s. Senator Warner Miller intimated that there ha@ been some chicanery in the action of te state committee, and moved to substitute the name or E.L. Pitts) At this the balf-breeds and Corneil men made wild demonstrations. The roll was called amid excitement, resulting in Madden 251, Pitts 243, giving Madden § majority. Tue result was grecied with cheers and hisses. SECOND DISPATCH. Sararooa, N. ¥., 2:26 p.tn.—The test of strength on the question of temporary chairman of the con- vention has been disastrous to the Corneil and Wadsworth factions. Warner Miller, in making the motion to substitute Senator Pitts for Madden, iisinuated that there had been !m- proper influences brought to bear on the state committee so induce it to seltct Madden for chairman; this was repelled by Gen. Sharpe, who thought It strange that such insinua- tions should be made agaifst_ a committee that hud made the selections Unanimous. The result of the vote of the convention in selecting Madden was a rebuke of Miller, apd a knock-down of the Cornell and Wadsworth combination. They polled their utmost strength on that ballot, The Folger men had a majority of the committee on credentials, resolutions and organizations, and In handling the four contested distri ts will in- crease thelr strength in the convention.

Saratoda, N. Y., Sept. 2), 10:45 a. m.—The dele- gates in the state republican convention took their seats with less confusion than was ever known ata convention here before, The hall is not decorated beyond a ac ed of bunting, cover- ing the rear of the stage. The opening of the con- vention Was attended with no exciteinent in the streets. The Albany Grant Club, with a band, marched from the depot down Broadway, making about the only demonstration that was seen. The convention was called to order at 11:20 a. m. by B. Platt Carpenter, chairman of, the state com- mittee. After the roll had been called, George A. Sharp> sald the state committee had ‘decided to recom- mend as temporary chairman the Hon. E. L. Mad- den, and he placed him in nomination. SENATOR MILLER OPPOSED TO DICTATION. The Hon. Warner Miller said he did not think 1t in the province of the state committee to dictate who shail be temporary chairman. He would not speak of the influences that Lad brought about that suggestion, but he would nominate the Hon. Edmund L. Pitts, and asked for the ayes and nays. Mr. Sharpe’ sald he feared something was to be brought into this convention beside republican harmony. When has the state committee at- tempted to dictate to a convention? Has this state committee, made up of the friends of the gentle. man who has just sat down, attempted to dictate? No; It has tried to prepare this convention enter upon its work In the spirit of harmony. I repel the suggestion that the nomination of Mr. Madden has been impelled by any other reasous than those in the interest of harmony and good feeling. I second the motion that the ayes and nays be called. ‘The roll call was ordered on the amendment. Lesite W. Russell moved each delegate name his choice, instead of voting “aye” or “no.” Carried, MR. MADDEN ELECTED CHAIRMAN. After the appointment of tellers, the vote was taken and announced as follows: Madden, 251; Pitts, 43. The Hon. Hamilton Fish and EL Pitts conducted Mr. Madden to the chair. Mr. Madden was recetved with applause. Committees on permanent organization, cre- dentials and resolutions were appointed. THE ANTI-MONOPOLISTS. ._A. B. Hepburn said that a convention of the ‘anti-monopoly party of tne state had appointed a committee to confer with this convention about the candidates and platform of the republican party. He said they had placed a communication In his hands containing their suggestions, which he wished to be read and referred to the cominit- tee on resolutions. Mr. Hepburn began reading the communication himself, but so many persons started to leave the hall that he could not proceed for some time. A delegate raised a point of order that the com- munication must be referred to the committee on resolutions, but the pcint was not sustained. ‘Mr. Hepburn continued the reading, but was heard with aifficuity. ‘The communication was addres3d to the repub- Mean state committee. It set forth that the state committee of the New York anti-monopoly league earnestly desired to call attention to the relation of corporate and public rights as the most im- portant question before the American people, ——— ‘The Sixth Maryland District.
