The following dispatch was received by Lieut. George A. Davis, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, this morning: ANGOLA, Dec. 21. Supervisor Benjamin Judson found dead on railroad track here this morning.

ORSON EARLE. A dispatch to THE NEWS about the same time said: ANGOLA, Dec. 21. Supervisor Judson of Brant jumped from Lake Shore train 5 here this morning and was instantly killed. RECORD.

Supervisor Judson has represented Brant in the Board of Supervisors for nearly two years. This year has been his second term, and he was 'a member of the Penitentiary Committee. He was about 36 years old. He has taken a prominent part in the affairs of the county and was looked upon as one of the brightest members of the Board. Mr.

Judson went to Springville with the Supervisors party yesterday to look at the Chaffee farm. Suitable action will be taken by the Board of Supervisors at its meeting on Monday. How Judson Came to Jump. It is learned by telegraph that Judson passed the night in Buffalo and took 6:40 Lake Shore Chicago day express train out of town this morning. This train does not stop at Angola and Judson attempted to alight, as presumably he had done successfully on other occasions, but it was the fatal leap.

His head was terribly crushed when found, showing that he had been hurled forward and taken the full force of the train in descending. Death must have quickly followed the leap. A heel was missing from one of his boots when found, showing his foot had become caught on striking the ground. Supervisor Judson was chairman of the Committee on Board and Clerk and a member of the Committee on Penitentiary, Erroneous Taxation and Roads and Bridges. He was years old and leaves a wife and three children.

A further dispatch from Angola says Judson took the wrong train at Buffalo and took the risk of jumping rather than miss an important business appointment at home. Lucretia Had a Gun. PORTLAND, Dec. P. Martin, aged 70, an old pioneer, was shot dead yesterday by Mrs.

Manning consented to be interviewed. He. said: "I stated no reason in my resignation and only used nine words to express the resignation itself." "But you had a reason?" "Yes. "Am I right in drawing the inference that your resignation is due in some measure to the recent action of the State officials in designating the Albany Times instead of the Argus as the State paper?" "That would be a natural inference to draw under the circumstances." "And you will not deny that such an. inference is in general "I don't think I should.

"Then I am to understand that you consider this a personal matter between the Governor and yourself?" "As I was appointed by the Governor and sent my resignation to him, I should say it was," replied Mr. Manning with a smile. "No, I mean that you consider the designa tion of the Times as the State paper, a matter in which the Governor was personally interested and the loss to the Argus in that connection, a matter that is of personal interest and importance to you?" "Well, I felt that under the circumstances I could not retain an official relationship with the Governor as a member of the Civil Service Commission. It has been intimated that my price is $2000 (the salary of a State Civil Service Commissioner), and I propose to have it understood that, although I am a poor man, neither $2000 nor $200,000, nor any other price, can buy me." "Then you feel that you cannot consistently remain an appointee of Gov. Hill believing as you do that he was instrumental in transferring the title, patronage, of the State paper to the Times?" "That is about it.

The patronage is not a matter. of great moment, but the prestige can neither rightfully nor properly belong to an assassin that has never lost an opportunity to thrust a knife into the Democratic party. I could not consistently remain an appointee of the Governor, AN I was in the position of. a Civil- Service Commissioner, hence my The candidates for the vacancy caused by Mr. Manning's resignation already in the field are Gilbert Tucker of Albany, J.

Thompson's grocery at 424 Swan street to collect a delinquency fine of $6.25 from Thompson for not attending to his 65th Regiment duties, Thompson pulled a cheeseknife and a revolver and made it hot for the marshal. Mr. Thompson called at THE NEWS office this morning to set himself right-before the public.

I have witnesses to prove all that took place between Girvin and myself. There was no tussel as stated. I acted under advice of my attorney, Arthur Decker, in resisting payment of the fine, but when I found I had either to pay or go to jail I paid, and will seek now to recover my money, as it was an unjust fine.
