He beeame prominent pelitically and served as state's attofney and also in the state legislature. Under Mr. Cleve- land's first administration he was appointed as deputy first auditor of the treasury, and his record in that office is what doubt- [less brought about the seeming viola tion in his case of the rule regarding the reappuintment of ex-office holders. While deputy auditor, Mr. Baldwin systematized the | business of the office to a remarkable and he won the admiration of Senator Coel ance he afforded the Senator in the Inter’ | effort to familiarize himself with all the details of departmental machinery.

Saw Kramer going eastward while witness was going westward on E street; next saw Kramer coming back westward and witness supposed that he was after him, but went in and got his buttermilk. Next saw Kramer on the south side of the street and then he (Kramer) went to Tth street. Witness continued his course to Sth and E streets and ssw Kramer going east- ward on the south side of the street. Was satis- fied that Kramer was pursuing him. But the man turned backward and went down 6th street. Arnold then to the corner of Sth and E. where he waited for some time for his wife and Sister. Not seeing them he turned and saw Kramer for the fifth time coming along E street toward him. Arnold stepped back | from the corner and leaned against the iron Kramer stopped and muttered some- himself, which he did not hear. Arnold sai re you following me?” Kramer replied i am ath aed peed. om. ‘When he got as far as the car tracks he stopped and said something which witness did not quite understand. it was something about cot back to witness.

Kramer | did not then stop, ard witness had no reason | believing that he hed been hit. The man | nd he believing that 2 6 was inevitable, he stepped down from the pavement. Just then they grappled, Kramer catching his pistol bard, when, by sheer strength, witness turned the revolver down toward him and fired the second shot. At that moment Kramer made a passat him with « knife, as witness thought. as he heard s ripping sound. They being still grappled and still fearing for his life, witness beat him six or seven times over the head as well as he could, but without much force. Arnold's vest was here shown bim and he pomted out 2 ent or ripped place, which. he ex- plained, was mace by the knife or other instra- ment in Kramer's hand. WHY BE KILLED KRAMER. “Mr. Arnold.” asked Mr. Davis, youkill Kramer “I shot him,” answered Arnold, “because I believed it was a case of dead Arnold or dead | Kramer, and [ shot him to save myself. Had the man thrown up his hand or indicated in the blightest manner that he ‘was unarmed I would | ‘not have harmed him.” ‘Arnold denied having pointed his revolver at | any one else in a threatening manner, and said | that when the officers put him under arrest he said: “All right, gentlemen. { surrender. It is aterrible adair, but I had todo it in self- defense.” Arnold was cross-examined by District At- Birney and stated that he had studied law at the Columbian University. “You have rtudied criminal law, bave you not, and famulinrized yourself with ‘the requir ments necessary to et oup the defense of eclf- defense?” asked the District Attorney. Arnold replied that he bad been a student at the law school and had familiarized nimeelf somewhat as to the law of self-defense. At the request of the district attorney Ar- nold explained the law in Texas and Kentuek and was asked if he did not know at the time the shooting that the law here required the slayer to use every means to avoid a contlict ‘MR.

A much disgusted gathering saw the fight be- tween George Dixon and George Siddons at the ring of the Coney Island Athletic Club Inst night. Mankind evidently has not risen above the level of the Romans, who were entertained by the gladistorial duels, for, no matter how scientific the boxing ia, the spectators are dis- satisfied uniess hard punishment is inflicted and angry blows exchanged. Many cries of “fake! fake!” were raised, which spurred the boys on to greater energy. The fight was de- clared a draw at the end of twelve rounds. John Eckhard was referee. Tom O'Rourke, Eddie Daly and Tim Ashe were seconds for Dixon and Billy Dacey, Danny McBride and Jack Siddons for Siddone. ea i aka ixon, accordiny ment, had to Siddons out or best hint in twelve rounds As he failed to do it he clearly lost. Dixon bad not trained for the fight, and many thought he was taken at a vaninge. Siddons was in | prime condition, having tramed faithfully and entered the ring strong and confident.

McGee had slightly the best of the first round, but McCarthy took the lead in the second by landing several wicked uppereats. Honors were even in the third. McGee changed his tactics in the fourth and played for omach with considerabie success, repeatediy jabbing the Australian with both Tight and left. At theend of the fifth McGee was tired from his own exertion and his oppo- nent weak from the punishment. In the sixth and seventh McGee gave McCarthy innumera ble openings, but the Australian showed him- self to be the slowest fighter ever seen in Coney Isiand and failed to take udvantage of them. He seemed to like punishment, how- ever. and the more he received the faster he fongat. The fighting in the eighth was terrific and in MeCarthy's favor. He landed repeatedly on McGee's left ear, and the Boston boy showed great signs of fatigue. McGee started the ninth by splitting McCarthy's eye. The round was all Magee’s, who followed McCarth~ all over the ring. Both men fought like wildcats in the tenth and divided the honors. The contest was declared a draw. ENGLAND'S BIG BOAT KACE. Oxford and Cambridge Will Row on the Thames Tomorrow. England's great ‘varsity boat race will be rowed on the Thames tomorrow by c--ws from Oxford and Cambridge.

Some interesting dates in connection with this race are as follows: In 1846 the race was first rowed on outrigger.

Corbett Thinks Lightly of Smith. Jim Corbett arrived in Pittsburg yesterday. Corbett docs not consider “Denver” Smith a first-rater and will pay no attention to Smith's | chalienge. Corbett said: “If anything should | turn up that Mitchell won't fight me, Pete Jackson is the only man that will claim my attention.” Late Inst night John Quinn, the backer of “Denver” Smith, called on Corbett at Hotel Schlosser and exhibited a certified check for $5,000, wanting to back Smith against Corbett. signing articles, or to take Mitchell's place in ase Mitchell flukes.

Avovsta, Mz.. March 20, 1898. Maine's rock-ribbed republicaniem has not had the effect of making the democracy of the state any more modest in their demands for federal offices than those whose state tickets are always carried for the democratic nominees by a safe majority. There are many candidates, but their conflicting claims will doubtless be eanvassed by a local triumvirate, composed of Chairman Donovan of the state committee, Col, Morton of the congressional committee and Arthur Sewall, member of the committee from Maine. The object of these gen- tlemen is to settle confiicting claims in Maine rather than in Washington. ‘The best federal office in the state is the Portland collectorship of customs, It carries a salary of $6,000, and has attracted as appli- cants “M. P. Frank, who ran for Congress against Tom Reed in'1890; Gen. Samuel J. An- derson, who enjoyed the office under Cleve- land’s “first administration, and William H.

A good many politicians are aware that tho Portland post office pays 3,300 salary. ‘They know it because they have been looking it up. ‘They also know that tho term of the present in- | | cumbegt does not expire until December 18, 1895—almost three years. Doubtiess some pre- text will be found for putting a democrat at the he!m befdre that time. One of the first places to be filled will be the Butte collectorship, for Coll&ctor Wakefield's term will expire March 27, 1898. His successor to the oftice will be Charles W. Larrabee. There will be a vacancy in the Bath post office next December, if uotearlier. Earnest F. Keily has the backing of a monster petition, but Arthur Se more favorablgto George H.

The Augusta post office is worth $2.900 and undoubtedly a democrat will be appointed to the place before July 26, 1896, the time of the expiration the present incumbent's term. Fred A. New Age, stands highest in local favor, but he encounters the expressed aversion of Cleveland to newspaper men. ‘The prizes in Eangor are the collectorship and the post oftice, the former paying 82,900 nad the la:ter $3,100 vear.

Beatixctos, Vz., March 20, 1893. Col. B. B. Smalley of this city, secretary of the democratic national committee, and Gen. T, J. Boynton of Montpelier, chairman of the democratic state committee, have prepared a siate for the most important ap- pointments of Vermont, which will be submitted to President Cleveland for his guidance in the distribution of patronage in the Green moun- tain state. It is understood to read as foliows: Collector for the port of Burlington, B. B. Smalley: United States district attorney, Jobn H. Senter of Montpelier: United States marshal, Jobn Robinson of Bennington; deputy collector of internal revenue, M: P. Bowman of St. Johnsbury or Mr. Flynn of Rutland; United States bank examiner for the Vermont district, Elisha May of St. Johnsbury; consul at St. John's. Quebec, State Committeeman Keefe of Windsor. Gen. Boynton was a candidate for fourth assistant postmaster general, and being disap- pointed then it is possible that he will ask to be made superintendent of the railway mail cervice in New England. He is sure of a position of some sort. is a prominent lawyer in Montpelier, the capital, and is well liked there. He is an earnest party worker and a keen campaigner. Last sum- mer he planned and executed a “still huat” campaign, and cut down the usual republican | majority nearly 10,000. The moral effect of this on the democratic campaign elsewhere was considerable. Col. Smalley received the credit, but he was in New York city most of the time and Gen. Boynton did the work. Bourke Cockran on Cleveland. A Baltimore evening paper prints the follow- ing interview with Mr. Bourke Cockran: “I do not think Mr. Cleveland is the best man the democratic party had for President. but I by no means think that he will be anything but an excellent magistrate, Cleveland is s man of strong will, aud will make his term of office be remembered with pride by bis party. That he will uphold his party platform is shown by the polics he outlined in his inaugural address, and ¢ will follow out that policy to the end, When Cleveland makes up his mind to do a thing he generally does it, He 18 notoriously an anti- silver man, and I expect that before his term expires he will manifest his feelings in that line pretty strongly.
