Batesyille, March S.-Special. The town of Batesville is in a state of great excitement over a tragedy that occurred here this morning causing the death of two people and seriously woundimr two more. John Diracherl, a we"k-rtown hotel man and former proprietor of the TJatesvii'.e house, ehot and killed his little daughter and cut bia ow n throat. He was drunk and crazed with jealousy, and Laving quarreled with Mrs. McCoy, Lis wife's grandmother, seemed to lose bis tnind entirely, an J, rushing into the room where bis wife was, bezan firing at her. Myrtle, bis three-year-old daughter, bearing her mother's rcreams, ran into the room, followed by Jlrs. McCoy and a kitchen girl. Dirscherl then turned and placed the revolver near Mrs. McCoy's head and fired at her, making a 6ca'p wound. The litt'e girl screamed and clung to the old lady for protection, but the father caught her and placed the revolver, a thirty-eight caliber bulldog, within a few inches of her back and t-hot ber through the heart, killing her instantJy. He then fired the remaining shot at the frightened cook, who was seriously hart in the back, and fled upstairs. By this time quite a number of people had gathered and were doing w hat they could for the wounded ones when Diricherl came starring info the room with his throat cut and fell dead. He had used an ordinary casekni.'e to cut his throat with, but it didjthe work effectually, having severed both arteries and the wind pipe. His wife is badly wounded but may recover, but up to the present the ball hns not been located.it having struck a corlet stay and ranged downward, undoubtedly saving the woman's life. Pirscherl was in unusually pood spirits last night. THE SAN REMO TRAGEDY. tdermn Thoucbl to Have Hern Decoyed to IK la:ti by n "V oman. Lorcnov, March 8. Further facts have come to 1 gut regarding th? murder of Dr. Liederman, whose body was found ia a ravine near San Bemo and who was at first supposed either to have committed suicide or to have fallen by accident down the ravine. Dr. Leiderman was a German and formerly resided in Manchester. In December last he en cage J quarters at the National hot-.l at San Homo and pai 1 frequent visits to Monte. Carlo. Subsequently two Germans joined the doctor at the hotel and all three departed together by rt.il ou December It). On t! o evening of the pain day, the two Germans returned to the hotel without Licd2rrmn. In response to inquiries they exp'ained that Liederman had eudJcnly beroxe insane and had been placed m confinement in an asylum at Nice. That night the two Germans left the hotel without bavin? given notns of their departure. The body ol Ir. I.indermau was pfterwsrd found 5 described. Tho -pine of the murdered man was broken mid the body punctured by a pin similar to those used for pricking car-is at too gattdirr tables at Monte l.ir.o. The peekem of tho dead man Lad been rifled. It was evidently the intention of the murder r.s to 2ive tho idea that the deea.ced had been ruined by irarabling t Monte Car.o and that in desperation be had committed suicide. After fruitless attempt to unravel the mystery, the San Keino police sent a photograph of the ritad man to the official at Monte Carle. The police cf Monte Carlo rcnu-nibc red having seen the dececped gambling incompanv with. a reputed lolisri countess ana nr German paramour and tho woman nnd ber companion were arrested and f-ent to San JHemt 10. The theory of the poiue is that alleged countess decovea the unfurttte doctor to her room, where be Hifa fate similar to that cf the victim "J in I'nri-. It is not at all certain

committed. Both the man and his wife ha.l been brutally murdered end the hr.ue stripped of everything- of value that could be conveniently carried away. The bodies of the aired victims presenied a ghastly appearance, the household dogn having been driven by hunger to feed upon the holies, laree "portions of which, hsd been devoured by the animals. No arrests have as yet been made. SHOT H1R HUSBAND.

Ainoost immediately aftT-r srmethin like order had been eecur.'d in the wnate Monday morning-, Mr. L'wing submitted thereiortof thy committee on elections on the Barnes-Loveland content. The report recited thatMilo W. Barnes, the contes?L'.r, began proceedings to contest tho seat of Bobert J. l-oveland within th time prescribed by law, but several weeks after the e'ectioa abandoned the same, ana no further Bteps were taken until after Loveland had received his credentials as senator from the counties of How ard and Miami and taken the oath ot oiiice. The committee wa3 therefore of the opinion that by reason of the dismissal of the proceedings end the failure of Mr. Barnes to tile a peti -tion within a reasonable time lie had lost his right to contept, and they recommended the indefinite ;Kstponement of the matter. On the face ot the returns Mr. liar nes received o.-Vd and Mr. Loveland 5,o7y votes, giving the latter a majority Of 1. Mr. Burke was opposed to the adoption of the committee's report. He enid that it was withiu the povince of the teuaba and not the committee to say when a eontebt f-hou.d be'in. If the committea found that Mr. Barnes was not elected it should say so. He thought that this was a most cowardly uuthod of disposing of the matter. He conclude 1 by offering a substitute to the r port setting forth tnat it was the sense cf the senate that Mr. Ixiveland had been elected senaaor from the counties of Miami andHow ard. Mr. Rwing said that if the sonata adopted the substitute it would virtually declare that tha committee had failed to perform its duty. It would also set itaeif up as being better informed as to th views of this case thru the commitioe which bad thoroughly investigated iw He therefore moved to reject the substitute. The motion to reject waslot by the following vote, the names of republicans being in italics: Yeas Messrs. Bjrd, Chandler, Cem-m-T, Ewing, Foley, French, Griffith, IUyden, I!olromb, Jones, Magee, tfoiilb, ThonJieou (I' Isski), Wiggs. 14 N'ars-MtHirf. c.y, Burke, Carvrr, Coert F.ibson, G'.V..cn, fVro.v. hav..oiJ liirlan, Ujytt Howard, Kenuedy, Kerch, h.oplke, Lynn, Lynn, Mcllugh, Mirao, Moore .Voun, Snanks, Hhcckncj, Sweeny, Thoir pson (Marion) 24. The substitute was then adopted by a viva voce vote and Mr. Ewing ought in withdraw tho committee's report. Tha presiding oiheer, however, decided that this could not be done since the substi tute was simply a substitute to that Hrtion of the report which recommended indefinite postponement. Withdrawal of the report would, therefore, mean a withdrawal of the entire matter. The report of the confennc committer appointed to confer with a iniilar committee from tin house ou the tax bill was Ktibmitted. This report recommends tho appointment of two tax commissioners instead of three such rppoiniment to t made bv the gover nor. Mr. Howard demanded the previous question on the adoption of the report. Mr. Burke characterized this as an attempt to rush the bi 1 through the senate without giving ihe members an opportunity to di-i us it.
