JUS VICTIM MM !IR.

ST. T.ons, .1 a 11. A little aft-r S o'clock Monday f'I'Mionn Harry 11. SI organ, of the Laclede Gaslight company, liigh in society, shot and so badly wounded his brolhe.-ivi-law, A. P. hklgerton, that it cannot now be told whether ho xvil 1 live or die. The ball entered his month, knocking out teeth and lodging' in tlie real of the head.

A t'tandchtine Marriayo.

The parties concerned are among" tho most prominent social people in the city. Morgan is a son of Judge Morgan, of New York, who was United States minister to Mexico under Garfield, the Ron he in if secretary of legation. Young- Morgan, after the close of Garfield's administration, traveled about the country and finally located in this city. He became acquainted with Miss Mollie Edgerton and it wau not long before they were engaged. The .young lady's parents forbade the match, as they thought Morgan too wild, and they were married on the sly. Col. Edgerton, the girl's father, soon after removed to Kansas City, where he is now a street-railway magnate

Domestic Trouble*.

The young couple have lived most of tho time in St. Louis. At first they were happy, then mutual coldness and finally dislike arose. Mrs. .Morgan reproached her husband with having subjected her to indignities and cruelty and with preferring to take in the town to passing the time with her. lie in turn charged her with receiving attentions from other men. .Some time ago Mr. Morgan informed his wife that lie intended bringing divorce proceedings against her, threatening to summon as co-re-spondents live of the best-known society men in the city whose names he mentioned at the time. Mrs. Morgan indignantly denied the insinuations and detied him to do his worst.

KUi.iaped HI* Child.

Separation was determined upon. The only child remained with its mother. One afternoon In November Mr. Morgan drove out to the residence of his wife. Tlie little one was plavingin the front yard. A proposition to take a walk and buy .some candy was eagerly accepted. The clulii was soon being carried away hundreds of miles. Tlie almost distracted mother notified the police. Ten days later she learned from her husband's lips that he had kidnapped the child, blie was told that it was in l'aris ami that she could never see it again. Mrs. Morgan at once sought legal advice. She was in the meantime informed that the child had not been taken to Paris, hut was in care of her husband's relatives in New York.

Mrs. Morgan then placed the case in tho hands of Attorney Kdrooncl A. U. Garesclie. Saturday night a warrant was secured for abandonment and another for abduction. A writ of habeas corpus was also served upon Morgan, requiring him to produce the child in court, lie was released on bond, with J. C. Calhoun as security.

A TKIASC, N.AH FKHI

WASHINGTON-, Jan. The anti-.ip-tion forces are gathering for tlie sM-uir gle. At the caucus of the republican senators, which will be held Thursday, the supporters of that measure will try to have it put first on the order of business, which is the position it-: now holds. They think caucus de^liberation would have the effect of strengthening its chances of coming to a vote. Tho various state legislatures a re. expected to b»»gin passing resolutions in favor of the bill, and these are to be used as a me of keeping individual senators on the n«'d\. 'But some of the friends of the anti-option bill. who also desire action upon other measures at, the earliest possible moment, intimate plainly that although they are disposed to continue loyal to the anti-option bill the limit to their loyalty has been almost reached. Here lies the danger which disturbs Senator Washburn, the especial champion of the bill, and causes serious apprehension as to tlie fate of his measure.

An Jut eretit lug Content

The particular measures of leading public concern which will contest with the anti-opiion bill the right of way in the senate are the Nicaragua caual bill and the bill for the suspension of immigration for one year. Hoth of these have advocates who deem them far more generally important than the antioption bill, which many persons denounce as utterly impracticable and wrong, with nothing more than mere sentimentality to support it. The conflict between these measures will be very interesting, because senators who are in favor of all three bills will be called upon to decide by their votes which of them they will give prece1 denee.

Senatur Sherman has voted on tho side of the anti-option bill thus far and will continue to support it, hut he has charge of the Nicaragua canal bill, and

his first allegiance Senator 'handler singularly situate-1 tofore voted to option bill before he is 1 he father of tion bill, which he believes measure of prime iniportanet

is to the laiter. is somewhat lie bus •hcrekeep be a ulithe senate, but the ant i-i!iiiuigni be the noA be-

fore congress, and he has notified the senate, with the concurrence of.his colleagues of the committee on immigration. that immediately afte- -the resumption of business in congress this week he will earnestly urge the senate to give immediate consideration to the anti-immigration bill.

The committee ou immigration insists that its bill is of the most vital importance, because unless immigration from Kuropcan countries shall be absolutely suspended at an early date this country will surely softer from an epidemic of cholera, the germs of which will be imported by incoming immigrants from portions of lCurope where the disease has been ravaging whole communities. Senator Chandler and the members of his comj miltee believe their bill is so important that it should take precedence of all other matters now* pending before congress, and therefore he and they will vote to give priority to the anti-immi-gration bill, however friendly they may be toward the anti-option or anv olhct bill.

This triangular fight for priority of eonsideration is expected to begin with the close of the morning hour 2 o'clock p. m. on Wednesday. The famoiib Meiiarrahan bill will occupy the morning hour from day to day until disposed of.
