T"!
Une oi tne most startling ana aepioraoie cases
of homicide which has occurred In this city for
a lens; time transpired yesterday evening at the
freight depot of the Fuel fie Railroad. The
i . . t r 1 1 "1 1 1 1 IT f .i a .
Victim was jur. wiiiibiu ix. uray, ui mo urm oi
Gray & Painter, grocers, and the perpetrator of
the outrage was a drayman.
STATEMENT OF MR. D. IT. PAINTER.
Mr. Gray, myself, and the driver went over to
load some hemp. In the depot we got a track
and put a bale on It; tne driver pot abend of tne
draymen, and tne draymen tbreatened to move
our team away; we were probably 80 feet from
him; he came to where we were and fret to
quarrelling; he had hardly srot at him when he
took a stake lying; on the ground and lust klra
once; he fell towards me and I got hold of and
raised blm; be never spots.
Mr. Uray appears to nave neen strncK wnen
cnite unaware of any foul inteations being
entertained towards him. lie was approached
from behind, and Mr. Fainter observed the
drayman hit him, but the man's actions were so
quick that be could not avert tbe blow. Tne
stake was a heavy one. and swung by the power
ful arm or a stalwart irame, came down with a
fearful momentum, andrashed in the skull to
an extent which dissipated all hope of successful
treatment.
FLIGHT OF Till SLATIR.
There were quite a number ot persons in the
vicinity ef tne scene or tne occurrence, and con
siderable excitement prevailed. No one except
those immediately tending tne wounded man
had an adequate conception of the shocking
character of the attack, but when the perpe
trator oi tne outrage fled he was hotly pursued.
lie evaded capture and got clear oi his pur
suers, i '
DEATH OF MR. ORAT.
Mr. Gray, on being removed to his residence
on largee street, between Market street and

crushed in; one fracture extended four inches
from behind tne left ear, and the brain was ex
posed. The operation of trepanning was per
formed, but all surgical aid was of no avail.
and Mr. Gray expired at 10 minutes to 8. lie
did not speak or manifest consciousness from
the time he was struck.
THE ACCU8ED.
ine delivery cierK at the freight depot gave
it as his opinion that the man who 6truck tbe
blow was John Tracy, a drayman in the employ
oi Lewis rsanson s jo.. commission merchants.
Tracy had come for six barrels of butter, and
baa signed tor it in tne deilvery-booK.
1 be police made strenuous exertions to effect
the arreBt of the guilty party. There was but
little doubt of his speedy arrest.
DECEASED AND HIS FAMILY.
. Mr. Gray was thlrty-slx years old: ne had a
large circle of friends, and had acquired con
siderable property, lie left a wlie heart broken
with the grief which had fallen on ber and her
four children with such appalling; swiftness.

A German Liberal's Blast Against Bis
marck.
Ilerr Vlrehow. one of the leaders of the Ger
man liberal party, has written tne louowing
letter refusing the candidature te the uerman
Diet:
"In reply to your letter, Informing mt that I
have been appointed a candidate for the Second
Electoral district of Berlin, l beg to say that 1
do not think there is any reason for changing
my resolution to remain a stranger to tne
Reichstag, in my opinion mere does not exist
at this moment, nor will there for a long time
exist, any possibility for modifying or ame
liorating. In the proper sense of liberty, tbe
present constitution oi tne uerman empire. 11
it ia thonerht that the duty devolving uoon me
would oaly be to keep on tbe qui vive in order
to prevent tbe present situation from becoming
stili weree, I hope that the electors will also
acknowledge that even to render a good serve
as a check agaiast absolutism Is Impossible with
out a dissolutien. For ten years have I been
content to render this ungrateful service in the
Prussian Parliament. 1 now leave it to others,
who have more time and confidence than I
have, to do likewise in the RslchBtag."
