Brooklyn*, Jan. 11.?Detective Sergeant Kellalier, of Inspector Byrnes' squad, has arrived at police headquarters with a prisoner in charge, who was arrested by him on the charge of being the murderer of the young girl found killed in a creek under a wagon bridge near the cemetery at Elmird, X. last Sunday.

In : spector Byrnes, in giving an account of ' Menken's arrest, said that after a full de' scriptiua had been received from the EJmira i>oliee of the man last seen with the dead I girl, Detective Adams, of the Central ofliee, remembered that he arretted a ma.iv some J years ago answering the prisoner's descrip tion for committing a robbery ut Guhther's paviilion i:: the Bower}'.

"Do you know William Menken?" ' "Yes," answered the detective, "i- know 1 him as well as I kuow myself, aud cau eefc f as close to him as my shirt is to me." "All i igfafc," said the inspector. "Locate - him and cojuniunicato with njo before you i- touch your man." 1 Dcieetive Sergeants Adams, Crowley and, Dolan stsrted for Flatbush on the track of ' the suspacted man. They learned that Meu ken's sister resided on Clarkson street. They ftiuud her house and made preparations to watch it, in accordance with the chiefs orders. A high board fence opposite served 1 as an admirable screen to their vigils, and through a knothole in it one of the three kept | up an espionage u pon the movements of .the : - occupants of the dwelling, and soon' they ' were satisfied that the man they wore_. in 3 quest of was hid in the house they were ? watching. Soon afterward Inspector Byrnes 1 received a long expected dispatch that read: "Huve located'man. Adams." s 'Arrest him. Byrnes," was flashed back.. c- Th? detectives obeved the instructions, f nd . suddenly burst iuto the house. Adams found - Menken sitting in a chair. He arose when f he recognized the detective, aind appeared j overcome with apprehension. 2 "What you want"?" ho gasped. t "Oh, nothing, only you," replied Adams, s as he began a search of his prisoner. As he - plunged his hands in his trousers pockets, > Adams felt a chain. When he pulled it out - he recognized it as the one described by the - "Elmira witnesses. The peculiar memorial ring and bracelets were found next, together 1 with a woman's pocketbook containing 8160. f Then the officers found an enamelled gold o watch with a drain and seal, the drop earring / which had been torn from the dead girl's " ear, and a saver watcn ana caaiu, wumu w e witnesses bad also described. As each piece of jo'.velry, the possession of which helped to convict him of the -crime, was discovered, s Menken shivered in spite of his efforts to t conceal the dread which overwhelmed him. He donned his overcoat, the same one det scribed by the witnesses as having been < worn by tho murdered girl's companion, l A dispatch announcing the arrest was sent k to Chief of Police Little, of Elmira, and a . reply was returned that the chief was on his way to New York with a warrant for the f prisoner.

When in toi-mea or ice ooject 01 mo reporter's visit I Aribi inquired after the latest news from i E^ypt, and was told of the recent successes of the Mahdi, together with the aetiou of the English governmeut in in*jst(ng on the abandonment of the Soudan south and went of Wady Haifa and her determination of assisting the Egyptian army in the defeuse of the frontier. He listened to'the uaiTative of affairs in JSgypt with avidity, and when asked what be thought of the docision of the English government, said that it was a wise conclusion, giving it as his opinion that if 1 England sent troops into the Soudan they i would surely be defeated, as the Mahdi's ' force* were endowed, with a . spirit of self sacrifice and devotion which it would take a I largo force of expcriencod soldiers to subdue. "AIucli larger," he added significantly, "than Englaud can at present spare for service in Egypt." "Besides," said Arabi, "Egypt will lwrnii^Vi stmncer with the loss Snllrttiu as it has always required a large army to keep it in subjection, and with this army, quartered in Egypt, proper Egypt could present a fornmdable front in case of war with a foreign power. I have always expressed' tile opinion, since my arrival in Ceylon, that' the ilahdi would triumph, and I should not1 be surprised%to hear of him marching on Cairo. He .will not confine his operations to the Soudan, as I believe Cairo ;is his objective point.

WARNER MILLER. Tie Itliluc New Yorker and Wh? Ma* Antagonize Ulna. Nsw Yoke, Jan. 10.?Ij speaking ?f. the potency of tJiuaNft* iHKar's podtfcn in krganiiiiijc^ew York's state senate, a"Waldington tpeeiai to The Sua says: When Scnutor Warner Miller o^me ?ot of (he fight for the reorganisation of the senate with flying colors, republican senator* who stood by him. with certain exceptions, told liim to go ahead a6d clear the way for the .Chicago convention. He went ahead, beginning with Now York. The senior New York senator is one of tho&c who Ijuve never excusod Arthur for going to Albany to help Couklh:g. Although the president has since done much to atone for it, they havo never forgiven him, and are now. less disposal to do it than aver. Much skHl ha* been Shown in reviving antipathies against Arthur for acts which he has for years preyed might bo forgiven. For months after his coming into the presi- ' dency the panorama of the Garfield tragedy was operated with the adroitness of llie soldier, who, to deceive the enemy, marches and countermarches bis men so as to cause the few to seem to bo many. Now, the sins of Colliding, his complicity therewith, ?vnd the scenes at Albany, are rehearsed to frighten those wham Arthur has striven to conciliate. In tbis8enator Millert friends doelare ho has proved him#elf tho possessor of great powers for leadership. In disposing- of Arthur, as they say he has done, In so short a time, be has acquired a mighty influence. To it a majority of the republican senators are submissive in matters relating to thfe Chicago oonveution. "When New York votes for Miller in the Chicago convention as her favorite son," said a reoublican whom Arti.nj- has specially tried to conciliate, "the victory over Conicling will be complete, and the Empiro state's estimate of Arthur will bo properly emphasized." But Mr. Miller has his enemies and he has no more bitter opponents in New York state today than the knot of astute, far-seeing and aggressive republican leaders of St. Lawrence county. They are not cast down by defeat, nor are their resources exhausted. They propose to throw down the gau'?'o of battle to the Millerites. in the nomination of assemblymen in the ' fall, and dispute the WOOa piup DOSS'S ruie.,**iwi uujrieiuiujj ucwiinitiation.

In reply { to tliis statement, C. C.

J. G. Long, also one of the jurors, published the following communication, which speaks for itself: To the Editov of tlie Carolina Spartan : The letter which you published f from Claude C. Turner, of the 81st of Dec-ember, 1888, in which he uses my name, and denies certain charge* ' against him and others, published in the News and Courier of the 14th .oi" '1 December last, calls for a short notice from me. I will try and give yousome plain, simple facts in reference ' to the matter. Mr. Turner, on "Saturday evening, [ after the jurors had boon empanelled to try the''Marion case*, and were locked up in tl& court-house.- proposed that we ?hould organize a debating ; club, which we did, and elected Julius Littlejohn (colored) as the chairman. Turner also reduced the subject to 1 writing, which was as follows: ~ /?H M-OC *a in mi* /in IV IIUIIIUI 111 IIVI J% -? the panel with the intention of defeat ing the Government in convicting the defendant*? Aiid if so, what would i be the result, as there were the eyes of fifty millions of people watching and < waiting the. verdict of this jury?" '< Turner led off in the debate, and made 1 a long speech, in which he stated that ' in order to establish a precedent we must necessarily find a verdict of I .guilty. It. was the intention of the Government official* to secure such a verdict as we ali know. The other eight, whose names i win give you, an expressed the same opinion. They arc ' as follows: Middleton liny, of Spar taubiirg; Fuller Pricket, of Orange- ( burjj; J. M. Johnson, of Clarendon; D. C. Wolf, of Lancaster; E. L. Arthur, of Orangel>nr<r; .Inline Littlejobn, colored, of Greenville: Joseph iiush, colored, of Georgetown-; Childs, colored, of Edgefield. I stated as juryman, that I intended to give the defendants a fair and impartial trial, and that if it was the intention of ihe Government to puck the jury and convict innocent men I was the wrongman; so ai*o did Mr. Grauif, of Clio*- i terfield, and July Emlcv, colored, of Orangeburg. So the case went on until Wednesday evening when it was handed to the jury. Turner, the spokesman lor hi* friend, Ray (fore- ] man), began to get shy of the three, . and proposed to the juror*, before any , one expressed an opinion as to the de- j fendanis' guilt or innocence, that we would take'a two-thirds vote, and let ^ the verdict be whatever thev said, J -1 'Pit UUU tllUVtJII VOICII III l4J.fl VTl l.UMVt C | motion. To this, of course, 1 object- ( ed, which resulted in ' a mistrial. Turner stated to me in the jury room 1 that they would release nine of the defendants if 1 would find a verdict of guillv against Bethea and Moody, ? as they seemed to be leadrog Democrats of Marion couuty, and he wanted v to punish them whether they were ' iruilty or not, to establish a precedent in the eastern portion of the State, as it would help them during the cam- < paiarn of 1884. Now in reference to the Horsey case that Turner was on. About two min- ~ utes before the district attorney requested the jury to find a verdict of "not guilty," he, Turner, whispered back to Ellis and myself that we would j be obliged to fiud a verdict of guilty. tlA?Al??Ak T?ll?o nn/l hn will \y r 1 ik: IU illvxmuu XJIU^ utm uv recollect it.
