There are stacks of charges coming into .the proper authorities conclusively proving their unfitness to hold the positions under this or any other reform administra- ' tion. Canfield is alleged to have said when he went home to vote for Blaine, that every : person who voted for Cleveland, and was re- - ceiving a pension, the - same would be itof ped. YanDyke pursued the same argnmeat with his political constituency, together with other falsifications pertaining to public matters, wherein votes could be obtained for the Plumed Knight.

Senator Voorhecs and the Democratic Representatives from Indiana held to-day a consultation with reference to the candidacy of Hon. John C - Stoll, of Indiana, for the petition of Public Printer. As the office will not be vacated until about the middle of April, it was - agreed that no qrgauization for a campaign . would be inaugurated in Mr. Stoll's behalf until about the 1st of April, when a strong . appeal for his appointment will be made. It is an -indisputable fact that Mr: Stoll has . made a good impression upon the President. He was particularly struck with his size and . handsome face, together with his bearing as a competent and practical business man, for just such a person will be appointed to the oftice, which are strong points with President Cleveland in his estimation of men. The Tariff It 111. Special to the Sentinel. Washlswtox, Feb. 15. Mr. Morrison to..day introduced, in the House of Representatives, hiafamons tariff bill, or rather the one that has been patched up by him and the Committee on Ways and Means. It reduces the revenue about $20,000,000 in the aggregate. The reduction in pig iron is from $!.72 to f-VO per ton ; steel and iron rails from $17 per ton to $12.50. A common duty of 2 8-10 cents per pound is fixed on wools. Flax and hemp goods are slightly reduced, : and sugar is reduced 20 per cent, excepting . on the product of Cuba, where an export duty is imposed. A majority of the Committee on Ways and Means has adopted a .resolution to drag the bill through without ipermitting a single amendment. There is a .margin of ten Democrats against it allowed for And a majority of twelve is calculated upon in favor of it. There is more or less juggling in the bill for wool for Wie purpose of catching Ohio and Indiana. The bill apparently provides for an increase of 2i percent, on wool, bt when it comes to figuring it out the way it is classified there is really a decrease of 5 percent, Telephone Stock. . gpyial to the Sentinel.

It would have been done some time since bad there not been a difference of. opinion among the members of the committee, borne additional information is yet wanted from General Crook, which will Je furnished in a few days." Among the very numerous iuestions with which the committee dealt was the finding, in many places, of gross extravagance in the purchase of supplies, and millions of dollars of the Government's money had been squandered by dishonest Indian agents, which is the cause, doubtless, for many of them getting rich eo fast. oneene About Harland'n Telephone Stock. ?pecal to the Sentinel. "Whvhi5;ton, Feb. 14. There never was any more nonsense within and published tipon any subject under the sun than has appeared in print about the telephone scandal. Here is the New York World stating and re iterating that the President has notified Mr. iarland that lie must sell his stock in the Pan Electric Telephone Company, or else rettign from the Cabinet; next it announces, on the authority of a memtter of the Cabinet, that Mr. Garland has told the President that he would dispose of the stock and endow pome benevolent institution with the proceeds, and, finally, a reporter of the World goes out to interview Mr. Garland, and esk9 if he has done so. All this simply shows an absolute and inexcusable ignorance of the case. Pan Electric stock is about as cheap as the air around Washington, and about as worthless as the last year's calen dar. The Fan Electric Company was Both in but a bubble tilled with the gas of a visionary old man, whose son invented a supposed improvement on the Bell patent, and who con -ineiiijr -Senator Harris, ex-Con-gressrcan Yon':, Tennessee, and others, that he had a od t hmp, organized with them a company . ... no ::, rith a capi tal stock of $H,W; ;'. i it b was divided among half a dozen ;-tie. o wltum Garland was one.

WAmflo.'l eb. 14 I notice a number of vtry virtuous Republican editors in lndi ana are growing somewhat excited about some Democrats who have been appointed to office without a certificate of good moral character from hypocritical, seducing Republicans. For the benefit of this class of alleged moral people they will please notice one James W. Donahue, who was appointed to a position in the Tension office ""by that immaculate patriot and spotless Re publican, Eill Dudley, when the latter was the boss of the Pension bureau, which he run exclusively for political porposes and in the interest of the grand thieving old Repub lican party. Donahue, whose name pollutes the virgin paper upon which it is written, was indicted for conspiracy in attempting to rob the Gov ernment, along with that very honest citi ?en, Mr. Dorsey. From the records of the Criminal Court I find the number of the indictment to be 14,i0, and in the same list of able Republicans whose names shine resplendent as patriots and defenders of the Republic's honor, are K. M. Armstrong, Wm. W. Jack son, Albert E. Eoone and Samuel C Cabell. Donahue is now in the Tension Department, but since the present Administration has come into power he has sought to make be lieve that he is the poorest of the poor. He has been connected with the Government service here for a number of years, but when he made auch splendidshowing as a Republican rascal by being indicted for conspiracy about the time Dorsey and others were, he was then given a much higher and more lucrative position by Mr. Dudley as a reward for his services in his alleged attempt to steal something. Commissioner Elack of the Pension Department may not know of the very spotless record of the illustrious Donahue, but he will when this is printed, and he will be made to go and his place filled by some honest Democrat. The departments are crowded with some of the grandest Republican jobbers, bummers and political highwaymen that ever went unhung. Mr. Donahue will please pack his trunk, his services 'are no longer wanted. Do you hear? The Fits John Porter Hill. Special the Sentinel. WaüHIS'.to, Feb. 14.

THE LONDON RIOT.

1 JM 'Which AsseiuNeu at Deptford Earth ing ob the City. TVe Polire Ordered to Take Powesion of All tbe Bridge A-roa tbe Thames The Police Art Better Tbe Ctty Qatet at midnight. LoNioN,:Feb. 10., noon. Thus far to-day there has been no renewal of r.uting in this city. A deme fog prevails ei.d favors the congregation of roughs. Small crowds of loafers are assembled on the street corners. Colonel Henderson, the head of the metrololitan police force, has been in conference to-day .with Mr. Childers, Home Secretary, in relation to the riots of Monday and Tuesday. An uneasy feeling prevails throughout the metropolis in consequence of the events of the past two days. Hundreds of genuine workingm?n, who are out of employment, are wandering about Trafalgar rqnare this afternoon. They have a very dejected apearance. News hat just been received in tbe city that a mob of roughs which had assembled at Deptford are marching toward the city, and that they are smashing windows and wrecking the fronts of houses along the route. A panic prevails among the residents of that portion of the city which the mob is likely to traverse, and shopkeepers are clos ing their establishments. The police and troops are in readiness to prevent the mob from assuming the proportions of that of Monday, and from committing similar ex cesses. Tbe Deptford mob has reached the Hop Kxcange in Boutbwark, nearly live ruila from the starting point of the march. The mob has enormously increased by constantly accession during its propress north. All the shops along the route were closed. The destination of the Deptford rioters seem to be iralalgar squre. J be mob is resting in Boutbwark, between London Bridge and Rlackfrier's Bridge. The police have been ordered to secure poseession of all tbe bridges spanning the Thames and to resist all attempts on the pait ot mobs to cross. The police at this hour hold all the bridge approaches, and are preparing to re sist attack, ine autnonties nave warned an tradesmen doioc; business in the Strand, Cock sour stree. Pall Mall and Regent street to expect disorder to-mgnt, and to immediately close their shops and take steps to pro tect their property. The West End already has a funereal appearance. Tbe Ieptford mob, on its way toward the Thames, swung through New Kent road and Newingtou Causeway. Tbey sacked several small shops aloug the way. Tney stopped at the mammoth establishment of Wm. Tarn fe Co. This establishment covers the ground from and including Nos. 5 to 21 on ew Kent road, and Hü to l: ewing' ton causeway, and is devoted to trade in linen, silks, men's and womens' clothes, boots and shoes, carpets, ironware, bedding, furniture, etc. Tbe building was under police protection, but the mob overran the officers, sacked the store, and when they re tired left the building badly wrecked. The estimate heretofore made of the losses inflicted by the mob on Monday appears to have been greatly to small. The otlicial esti mate places the amount of the damage at t0,000. The various socialistic and labor reform societies threaten to have a monster demonstration at Hyde Tark next Saturday to be attended by contingents of laborers from the country. Shops are being closed and barricaded everywhere throughout the city. The police have been informed that the Deptford mob is composed of a large number of roughs who have organized to attack city emioriums and banks. Such stores as remain open in the city at this hour have their windows closed and barred and are ready to close their doors at a moment's notice. Groups of anxious people stand about in the streets discussing the situation. The newspapers are printing extra editions, and these are eagerly bought. At this hour the fog is increasing. The Deptford mob has dispersed. The streets are thronged. No conflict with the authorities has yet occurred. A Socialist meeting is to be held this evening at Cumlerland Market, At 5 o'clock, two and a half hours before tbe time announced for the assemblage, over l,OOU men were on the ground waiting to attend the meeting. This crowd was being constantly augmented by accessions from Trafalgar Square. The cavalry from the Albany barracks and large bodies of police have been ordered to remain in readiness to preserve order at the Cumberland meeting. Ry 8 o'clock crowd that numbered many thousands gathered at Cumberland Market. The lowest criminal classes of London were represented by a strong contingent, intent upon harrassing and insulting tae police. At 1 o'clock Hyndman, Williams, and other Socialist leaders appeared, and were greeted with uproarious shouts of welcome. They held a short consultation and resolved to abandon tbe attempt to hold a meeting tonight because, as they said, the dense fog that prevailed prevented their distinguishing true unemployed workingmen from loafers. It was then announced that the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday. As the crowd slowly dispersed, cheering for the Socialist leaders, the disorderly element again manifested itself. The police were jeered at and stoned, but easily drove their assailants from the ground. Three regiments of foot guards, two cavalry and a battery of artillery were confined in their barracks all day in readiness to sally out at a momont's notice. The vigorous action of the police of South London compares favorably with the inaction of the police at Trafalgar" Square meeting, on Monday. Mounted constables, armed with cutlasses and revolvers, assisted the police on foot in dispersing a mob of 5.000 men near Elephant Castle tavern. A cratifying feature was the fact that many small tradesmen and numbers of bona fide workingmen joined in assisting the police to re-pulr-e the rioters who, dreading the encounter quickly disiersed. The police had been informed early in the day o conspiracy of thieves inhabiting common lodging-bouses to make south Ixmdon the starting point of a pilliaging exfeeition. lrecautions w?re accordingly taken to prevent disorder. Warrants were issued for the arrest of several Socialists believed to be leading spirits in the riots on Monday. These warrants were placed in the bands of Scotland Yard detectives, wlo expect to have the arrests all made by midnight. At midnight the city is quiet. The crowds disappeared by 10 o'clock. The streets are deserted and the panic subsiding. The seare is without parallel in the history of London. Tens of thousands desperate men gathered in the Btreets, and only needed some one more reckless than themselves to lead tbem to commit the wildest excesses. A $botgun Tragedy. rALEBTiKE, Tex., Feb. 14. Friday evening, on tie farm of. Mrs. Adams, in Beaver Valley neighborhood, twelve miles northwest ot

this city, two young men named Garrett and

Isewberry quarreled about eeding some stock. Newberry Blapped Garrett's face. Yesterday morning when Newberry went to tbe lot to feed tbo stock, he was confronted by Garrett, who levelled a shotgun at him. Garrett fired both barrels, blowing Newberry's head almost off his shoulders. From tbe meager reiorts it is learned that the murtiered man begged piteonsly for his life. Tbe murderer quietly walked away alter committing the cowardly deed. Deputies Beagler and Witcbaul have eone to make the arreeL THE WINDSOR OUTRAGE. Mi Aldridge Awake from Her Stupor, but la Vnable to Gle Any Clew. Special to the Sentinel. WiXDeoR, 111 , Feb. 14. Mi9S.Georgia Aldridge, the lady who narrowly escaped being hung by an unknown ruffian last Friday night, regained consciousness to-day at noon. She had lain in a stupor betwixt life and death for thirty six hours. She is still in a precarious condition, being completely exhausted from the excitement and tbe nervous sho k. She suffers great pain in her ( best and bark, and the attending physicians do rot now know how the ease may terminate. She c&nnot yot talk much about the assault. She has no remembrance of her assailant except that he was a large man. He spoke to her only in a whisper so that she can not possibly know whether the voice was that of any one she knew oi not. After she had been hanging a few moments, and while he was in the house, probably writing the note he left, the strings brok and she fell to the ground. He came back and hung her up to tbe tree for the second time, "fcihe has no idea how long she was hanging to the tree; it seemed to be an age. She remembers, she thinks, hearing some one come whistling along by the house, coming in and cutting ter down. She can give no clue that will be oi any service in detecting the guiltv man. It is as -much a mystery as ever. There are many theories advanced, but nothing but weak circumstantial evidence substantiates them. Windsor people are still wild with indignation over the affair, and would not hesitate to mob tbe guilty man wben bis guilt was once established. It is a great disappointment to the infuriated people that the young lady herself can not furnish any substantial evidence. The village will offer a reward tomorrow, and the county and the State wi)i be asked to add additional rewards. MiM Aldrldge Gradually Recovering, epecial to the Sentinel. Wisi'POR, 111., Feb. 15. Excitement over the late outrage in this city is still unabated, and little else is talked of by everyone. Miss Georgia Aldridge, the young lady, who escaped death so narrowly, is gradually improving, and with her returning powers of reason is able to give further particulars about the dark deed. She now recalls that the man after hanging her to the tree a second time went into the house, and when ber rescuer came he dashed by her suspended body and disappeared in the alley. The City Council of Windsor nlet to-day and passed a resolution offering a reward of $300 for the apprehension and conviction of the jierson who committed the deed. The Governor will probably o2er $200, and at a called meeting of the Bear J of Supervisors of Shelby County to-morrow they will probably add $500, making a total of $1,000 reward. The few scraps of evidence the cool villain left behind are being carefully preserved, and new traces are being looked for. Exierienoed detectives are being employed to investigate the case, and woe to the criminal, when he is found guilty, with all the protection there will be for him in this community. SUSPENDED ANIMATION. Narrow PNcape of an Ohio Woman from a Horrible Death. Wixlsyille, 0., Feb. 15. A remarkable instance of suspended animation, with a narrow escape from a horrible death, occurred a few days ago at Jethro. a hamlet on the eastern outskirts of this place, the particulars of which were disclosed yesterday. Two weeks ago Mrs. Raymond, 'of that place, while visiting her daughter at Allegheny City, was stricken with what was supposed to be paralysis. After a week of intense suffering she improved sufficiently to allow of her removal to her home at Jethro. The day after arriving she was taken with a relapse, and continued to grow worse until last Wednesday, when she died, as was supposed, the doctor having pronounced life extinct. Friends and relatives of the family were notified by telegraph of the demise; the services of an undertaker were secured ; the body was prepared for burial, wrapped in a shroud, and placed in the parlor to await the arrival of the cottin. A friend of the woman, who had arrived from a distance, had occasion to enter the room where Mrs. Raymond had been laid out, and approaching the body thought she discovered traces of animation in the lifeless form. She made a more critical examination and discovered unmistakable evidences of vitality. The muscles of the face and eyelids occasionally twitched, the eyes partially opened, and faint respiration was noticed. The woman instantly gave the alarm, and the room was soon filled with friends, who discovered the same indications of retaining life. Physicians were at once summoned, and every known restorative applied in the hope of saying her life. After three hours of vigorous and unremitting attention hours that seemed interminably long to the family the lifeless form was restored to consciousness. She slowly and languidly opened her eyes in perfect amazement, curiously surveyed her surroundings, and in a few minutes feebly asked in a scarcely audible voice the cause for the unusual commotion, and inquired how she came in j-ossession of the unique garb in which 6he was clothed. The situation was explained to her, when she replied that while in her comatose state she imagined she had fallen into a deep, refreshing sleep. Mrs. Raymond is improving slowly, with fair chances for recovery. Her escape from the horrible fate of being buried alive was very narrow. She had been in a state of insensibility for two days, the body was cold and el&mmy, and respiration had to all appearances ceased entire. In a few hours more the warnan would undoubtedly have been buried. Death of a Prominent Citieu. Special to the Sentinel. Ekazil, Ind., Feb. 12. A. O. Dildwin, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, was buried ia this city to-day. He has resided here for nine years during which time he made many warm and devoted friends. He was a man of warm and generous impluses, and was active in his charities and benevolences. The large and well-selected public library of this city is a monument to his public spirit and earnest desire for the diffusion of knowledge among men. Mr. Baldwin was a liberal in religious matters, but "the world was bis home and to do good waa bis religion." A wife and two children remain to mourn his untimely dctPJ

DILKE'S DIRTY DOINGS

A VIiKAik Rained by Titled . Scoccdrel, While Es Goes Acquitted. DtsgimtlnK DetAila of tbe Ce Brought Out on It Trial 8friB era Attack and Sack Several Booses -Socialist Leader .Visit , Hr.. (iladtone. Lonwhj, Feb. 12. Tbe trial ot the divorce case of Mr. Donald Crawford against his wife, in which Sir Charles Düke is a co-respondent, was begun to-day. - Great interest is felt in the-" Case, and the court-room was crowded when it was called. Sir Charles Düke arrived early, and took bis seat in the court-room without being recognized by most of the people in attendance. Mr.' Chamberlain, President of the Local Government Board, and many gentlemen prominent in official and social life were present. The case being announced, the petitioner's counsel stated that the first intimation his client had of his wife's unfaithfulness was on the receipt of several anonymous letters, the writer of which warned Mr. Crawford to beware of "the member from Chelsea," Sir Charles D'lke. Mr. Crawford thereupon made an investigation into his wife's habits and found that she had been corresponding with one Captain For?ter. This offense he had condoned. Receiving further anonymous letters, Mr. Crawford taxed his wife with infidelity. Sne admitted her guilt and made a full confession. She said she had slept two nights in the same bed with Sir Charles Düke. His attentions to her, she said, had com menced directly after her marriage. He professed to admire her because of her resemblance to her mother. The wife of the peti tioner bad attributed the anonymous letters to the vindicativeness of her mother. The jetitioner's case rested solely on the wife's confession. The servants of Mr. Crawford's household, counsel said, would give evidence showing that their mistress bad been absent from home on the nights she Biated she had slept with Sir Charles. The petitioner, Mr. Crawford, was called to the witness-8tanl, and gave testimony supporting the statements of his counsel. Mr. Crawford said he had been startled bv his wife asking bim whether he would for give her if she bad been uniaithlul to him. His wife's sisters had been' shown the anonv mous letters, and bad aereed that they were in the handwriting of their mother. In her confession, the witness said Mrs. Crawford bad declared that SSir Charles Düke bad compelled her to enter a bed with "Fanny." his mistress, &ir Charles himself lying beside tbem. He taucht her .every French vice. He then told her again how much she was. like ber mother. Counsel for the petitioner submitted the evidence against Mrs. Crawford, but submit ted none against Sir Charles Dilke, The court granted Mr. Crawford a divorce from bis wife and dismissed the charges against Sir Charles Düte. The consensus of opinion is that the filth v revelations made in the trial and his failure to attempt to either deny or disapprove the charges against him have practically ruined Sir Charles Dilke. Although Sir Charles Düke escaped under the technical plea that Mrs. Crawford s unsworn confession was insufficient evidence, the whole tenor of the trial has produced a profound and universal conviction of Dilke's guilt. Justice Butts, in summing up, de scribed the respondents' statements as clear. distinct and substantial, and said they com pel led him to conclude that the adultry charged was actually committed, lf the woman bad been put in the witness box and had given the same testimony there would have been evidence against Dilke. Pilk's position was further damaged by his refraining from giving evidence. The Attorney General's defense, "were we to put Dilke in the witness box his cross-examination would be on indiscretions in life, from which no man is free," was taken as a frank admission that Dilke was unable to give an explanation. That part of Mrs. Crawford's confession describing the depth of the debauchery between Dilke and her, is unfit for publication. The trial has caused a painful impression throughout the country in regard to the state of society morals. The striking operatives in the hosiery factory in Leicester, renewed the riotous demonstrations to-day. They attacked and sacked several bouses. The police frequently charged the strikers during the day, and in each instance were resisted, many of the policemen beine injured. The authorities, alarmed at the aggressiveness of the strikers and seeing that the regular police force was inadequate to cope with the disorderly elements, have ordered the appointment of special policemen, and a ruimber of citizens are now being sworn in to do duty as such. i'.urns, Hindman, Champion, Watts and Williams, the Socialist leaders who managed the Trafalgar Square meeting last Monday, called in a body to-day at Mr. Gladstone's official residence, in Downing street, for the purpose of obtaining an interview with that gentleman. Mr. Gladstone was absentat the time of the visit and his secretary received the callers. The Socialits stated that the object of their visit was to obtain from Mr. Gladstone some declaration of the Government's intentions with regard to affording relief for the unemployed workmen of the country by means of public works. They desired to obtaia this information before stumping the country in the impending labor agitation in order to be able to carry as much encouragement as possible to the people. Mr. Gladstone's secretary advised the deputation to call at the office of the Secretary for Home Affairs, as the subject was not one properly pertaining to the Treasury Def artment. of which Mr. Gladstone is First xrd. This reply was received with dissatisfaction, and the deputation handed the secretary a document for Mr. (Gladstone's perusal". This was in the nature of a formal declaration insisting on behalf of the unemployed workinemen that the Government . take immediate steps to relieve their press ing needs. To-night tbe strikers smashed many windows and stoned the police. The police in adjacent towns have been reinforced. No arrests have been made. THE DILKE SCANDAL. Judge ltutt Decision in the Case Geuer. ally Condemned. London, Feb. 11. Thoughtful ilagiishmen have reason to recall the words of Ccwley, so vigorously Cung at Cobbett by Feel, "We never blushed before." The national crisis has belittled jersonal politics. A pitiable collapse of the administration of the metropolis and a flagrant miscarriaeof justice following a nauseous revelation of the depravity of a prosperous British home such is the dismal , record of the week.

decision is still further aggravated by a hint that the lady is insane. If she is sane enough

to condemn berseli, she is certainty sane enough to criminate the co-respondent. Much comment has been caused oy Attorney General Russell's allusion to the alleged debaucheries and indiscretions common to men in Sir Charles Dilk's position. A German lad v observed at a dinner mat liberty of speech in England was robbing the shops oi their respectability, ana tne read inc of foibles w becoming as binding on the masses as the erusal of the hymn book. A caustic Frenchman points out with derision the moral, that if two negatives make an affirmative two mistresses must make a marriage. Sir Charles' marriage followed tbe Crawford disclosures. Tbe Tall Mall Gazette denounces the Daily News and Telegraph for their attempts to whitewash Sir Charles Dilke alter tne scandals revealed against him in the Crawford divon-e suit. Tbe Gazette says that Sir Charles evaded denying on oath the appalling charges made against him, and declares that in view of this and the 'ourt's conduct in ignoring these charges, "We must revise the axiom, 'The law is no respecter of persons.' " "Sir Charles Dilke's friends,' continues the Gazette, "expected better things of him, and his foes could have wished for nothing worse." The St James Cazette, commenting on the same topic, says that the judge's decision in the case amounts to the declaration that the stories told against Sir Charles by Mrs. Crawford were true. MURDERED HIS WIFE. SensatioK Created in a Kansas Town by a Young Druggist. Cleveland, Kan., Feb. 14. This community was shocked last night to learn that C. A. Fellows, a well known druggist, had shot and instantly killed his wife. When the facts of the tragedy became known there was the greatest excitement among the people. Fellows left his place of business about 7 o'clock in the evening, considerably under the influence of liquor. He proceeded directly to his residence, and shortly thereafter a sbot was beard in the front room of the house. What transpired between Fellows and his wife from the time that he entered his bouse until the commission of the terrible deed will never be told, except by the lips of the murderer. There were no witnesses. Neighbors heard the report Of the weapon, and the first of them to arrive on the scene saw Fellows hurrying away, No one seems to have had presence of mind to stop bim, and bis plans of escape, if he had any, were successful. Mrs, Fellows was found lying upon the floor in the center of the parlor. Blood was pushing from a wound in her head and the carpet was saturated. A doctor was hasulj summoned, but life was extinct long before he arrived. There was nothing in tbe room which would indicate the cause of the murder, and the bedy was placed on the bed and the Coroner summoned. Then a search for the murderer was commenced. Fellows had been seen shortly after leaving the house to return to the store and again leave it, walking on the railroad track going west. A posse was soon made up, and they are io pursuit of the murderer. The feeling against him is intense, and the impression is that should be be captured that his lynching would be sure to follow. The cause of the murder is certainly wrapped in mystery. Both were young people, and had not been married long, bellows was not over twenty-one years of age, and his wife was a year or so younger. They had no children. Heretofore, so far as was observable to the public, I Ujey have been leading a happy life. They lSth came of good families, and they were popular and respected. The generally ac cepted theory of tbe murder is tnat fellows went home intoxicated. and that the chidings of his wife exasperated him to such an extent that he drew his pistol and delibeately shot her. There are other theories, one that Fellows discovered his young and beautiful wife was untrue to him. but this latter theory has few adherents. Liquor was the probable cause of the tragedy. When Fellows left he was dressed in a brown suit of clothes and wore a black cap. He is heavy set, weighs about 113 pounds, and has a light mustache. Two ln Killed Through an Ohl Love Affair. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 11. The counties of Clayton and Fayette are greatly agitated over a tragedy which began on Monday eve, continued through Tuesday, and resulted to-day in the death of one of the principals with two others still on the ragged edge. George Venable, the son of Dr. Venable, had a tender feeling for the wife o, Matthew Harris, a Citizen of Fayette county. Mrs. Harris was formerly a Miss Davenport, and was at that time engaged to Venable. On Monday evening, George Venable, accompanied by his brother-in-law, W. C. Dulin, drove out to Fayette County, passed the residence of Hams, to Joe Graves' distillery, where he became intoxicated. Returning by Harris' house after dark, George Venable, it is claimed, made efforts to attract Mrs. Harris' attention when, being discovered by her husband, the latter shot the Lothario down. Dulin put whip to his horse, and has escaped for the time Harris' wrath. During the night Dulin quietly returned, found the wounded George Venable, and had him removed to the house of a Mr. Brogdon. By morning the whole community was ablaze. Two of Mrs. Harris brothers, the Davenport boys, being aroused to desperation by the attempt of Venabie to ruin their sister, they armed themselves, ar.d on Tuesday evening came across Dulin and K. M. Venable, a younger brother of tJeorge Venable, when an interchange of shots took place in which Dulin was fatally shot and K. M. Venab'e's nose was shot clear off. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Ceorge Venable died; Dulin is still living, while E. M. Venable is horribly disfigured. The Venables are people who have always stood high, though a stain was attached to their father's name, growing out of an amatory event some years ago. The Davenports openly threaten that they will make short work of any of the Venables who may hereafter dare to cross the Fayette line, Mr. AVatterson's Condition More Favorable. LorisviLLE, Feb. 15.
