AV a sillNOToN, l)«*e. S.—Upon the opening of the senate Thursday Senator Oorman (dem.,Md.) offered a resolution providing
1
.«!
that, when the senate a«l-,
journ Thursday it meet, 011 Monday next. Adopted. The. presidents mesfcagc, in response to a senate resolution, submitting information as to tin* arrest of an American citizen in Peru, was received. 1'Ieellon of Senator*.
Senator Turpio (dem., Ind.) then took the floor for a carefully prepared speech on the resolution for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. Said hot "When wo recall the harsh criminations. Hit* gross charges of pecuniary corruption and of fraudulent combination or Intrigue, .disgraceful aiul dishonorable to the \vhole body witti which a .prolonged senatorial-''contest.-' is comimnicd. Avhcther in prirty ror.l'ercnoe or in the open assembly, the removal of such a procrcant evil should be deemed prin:e jioil: leal necessity, it has heretofore been said that the Grand Central railway has chosen senator in a certain nt:itc: that the Grand Central bank has chosen another elsewhere and that the Central Assocuulori of Mining nnd Manufacturers have defeated or elected'a third. Nothing Is Intended to be assumed hero concerning the truth or falsity of these assertions or aceunations. Hut these muii'easant charges have an existence The" way- of this riddance Is plain. If the choice of the constituent member* of this body were left to the mass of -voters in the state, tho^e perilous criminations would be inttuitely lessened. They would ulto^ether disappear. so reasonable ^tounds could bo. given for their support."
Senator Turpie claimed that the proposed change would not disturb in the slightest degree the special relations existing between the senators and the states which they represent, and that its only object would be to have senators chosen by the .suffrages of the whole people of a slate instead of by the suffrage* of a very .small minority. Xo action was taken on the resolution.
Four bills were passed: To exempt from the payment of duties articles of foreign exhibitors at the Portland (Ore.) uuiversa I exposition extending the time for the commencement and completion of a bridge across the. Mississippi river above New Orleans to reimburse the Washington and Lee university at Lexington, Va., fur injuries done by United States troops during the war (SIT,48-1) and appropriating S'2U.0U(T for the dedication of the Chieamanga ami Chattanooga national park on the w-o ha tb?Ibods on the P.'th and 00th of September. nator \'est (deui., Mo.) made an effort, at the close of proceedings, to get up his cloture resolution for action, but he was cut off by a motion to proceed to the considers Lion'.of executive business:,

Asm AMI, Kv., Dec. 7. A tragedy that will end in the loss oT three lives occurred late Wednesday uight ut a small hamlet called Fultz. miles out on the hesnpeaku & Ohio railway, in Carter county. For the past six months, Thomas James, a whisky peddler, representing himself to be a cattle drover, has been clandestinely meeting the cornel daughter of Farmer (ieorge Fultz The parents of the girl, knowing the real character of the man, forbade her having anything to do with him, aud supposed she was obeying them, uutil her condition became such as to arouKo suspicion. Then, after being brought to task about, it, she confessed her meetings with James and their consequences.
A ItuttU* «t Chnrch.
'I'he engaged father secured the assistance of his son. (Jeorge. Jr.. and his son-indaw and went in search of James. He was found at church, where series of revival meetings were being held. When the old gentleman took him aside the trouble was not long in developing. and Fultz was instantly killed by a bullet through his heart.. The sons then took hand, and when the pistols were emptied the younger Fultz was also deatl and tho sondndaw, John Phyllis, was mortallv wounded, a bullet having passed entirely through his head, entering at the temple and coming out at the opposite jaw. James escaped injury, apparently, as lie. vaulted over a fence into the underbrush and made good his escape.
TOOK POISON,
An I'l-^hcrifT or Will County, III.. KilU Htnifteir In Chicago. CHICAGO, Dec, 7.— Robert Huston, of Joliet, 111., was found dead iu his bed at the (irand Pacific hotel at 1 o'clock p. m. Thursday. A phial of poison at his side told the story of suicide. A dispatch from Joliet says that Huston ws.s well known in that city, and had been a resident of Will county for over twenty year-. During Harrison's term he was postmaster ot Hraidwood, and eight year* ago he was elected sheriff of Will county and he moved to Joliet. He made an active effort to prevent the great miners' strike when sheriff.
Letters which were found among the dead man's personal effects revealed the fact that he had held the position of grand treasurer of the grand eouncouncil for Illinois of the American Legion of Honor.
It is lutimated that inability to secure aid to meet financial obligations falling due in a few days, and embarrassments due to unfortunate speculation on the board of trade, were the cause of the suicide of Mr. Huatiu.
