Driven by a hurricane they rushed 6wiftly on, displaying that ominous olive green color with fleecy fringes so peculiar to dangerous storms. Suddenly the wind etruck the grand stand at Latonia, in which were 3,000 people, one-third of them women. Then came the rain, first in streams and afterward in sheets. Horse Eheds outside of the race course wero picked np and strewn clear across the railroad tracks 200 yards away. The iron anatomy of the grand stand shivered and creaked. Blinding sheeta of water, driven by a forty-mile-an-hour hurricane, drenched everybody. A ruah to the center of the grand stand did not help mattors.

Illinois Senators Have a Fight on the Floor. Springfield, 111., June 3. The novelty of a fisticuff in the senate chamber was witnessed yesterday afternoon. It was between Senators Campbell and Allen and grew out of a dispute over a bill. Senator Allen accosted the gentleman from MacLeaneboro, who said he did not want to have anything to do with him, and the gentleman from Scott gave the retort discourteous. Hereupon ensued a fracas. Senator Campbell banged Senator Allen in the left ear and Senator Allen reached for a mucilage pot, but misssed it and had to smite at his adversary with a bill li!e loaded down with bills which had failed to pass. Of course there was a commotion and the contestants were firmly grasped by their respective adherents. The combatants were separated and Lieutenant-Governor Ray remarked "The senate will be in order. Subsequently there were proper apologies. An extraordinary scene of wild confusion and excitement was witnessed in the lower houso of the general assembly this afternoon when the world's fa;r bill which, as passed by the senate, appropriating $1,000,000 for the Illinois exhibit, was acted upon. Efforts to reduce the appropriation to $500,000 or SG00.000 were successively defeated, but in a motion fixing the amount at 750,000 it was apparent that the vote would nearly be a tie. Then Speaker Crafts, (democrat) voted for the amendment and ignoring a republican member who wished to change and vote in favor of the bill, hurriedly announced that the vote had been closed. Then the hou5e became a bedlam of shrieking, blaspheming and hurrahing men. While Crafts coolly declared the $750,000 amendment had been adopted, 70 yeas to 73 nays. In tho face of a terrific storm of protest;, the speaker vould listen only to a motion to adjourn, and calmly declared the motion carried. The members were now yelling and running about like so man Comanches. Half a dozen made a rush for tho speaker to drag the "czar," as they called him. from the chair, but were forcibly held back by his seconds. More than one legislator reached for his revolver, and a riot seemed inevitable. Mclnery of Chicago (democrat) at his moment iumpod to the speaker's stand and thouted, "We will reconsider it tomorrow," finally succeeded in bringing about a truce. It is expected that another outbreak will take place tomorrow. A HORRIBLE CRIMfc. A Chicago Womn Throws Her Child From a Car Window. Wichita, Kas., June 3. A horrible case of infanticide occurred on the Santa Fe railroad near Cimarron, about one hundred miles west of here. On the train was a wcll-dresHcd woman of about thirty, who seemed in great distress. As the train passed over a small bridge the conductor, who was standing on the platform, noticed a bundle thrown from the window of the toilet-room. Just before the bundle reached the water it opened and to his horror the conductor saw a small body exposed for a moment before it sank beneath the water. In the toilct-roora he discovered the Roman previously mentioned. Her mind was wandering and she could give no account of herself. In a handbng were found some letters addressed to Mrs. Grace Worthington of Chicago, and her ticket was from that point to Pueblo, Colo. A man on the train who had spoken to her earlier in the day said the told him her husband died two years aco, and she had been spending the interval in Chicago. She was taken on to I'ueblo. DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE. The leperat Trlpla Crime ot as London r tii or. Los-Doy, June 2. A horrible crime of double murder and suicide came to light today. The scene of the tragedy was in one of the poor quarters of Kentishtown, a suburb of London. The neighbors of a family occupying apartments in a house in this quarter noticed that none of the family had been seen for some little time, and upon opening the apartments vhe head of the family, his wife and his child were found dead in the rooms. Judging from the condition of the rooms it is evident that the man first killed his wife and child by cutting their throats and then killed himself in the same manner. The wounds inflicted are terrible ones. o reason is known for the crime. A Patriot and Atatesmao fltoclies er eattnel.

WILL CRM "CHRIST

If He Doesn't Leave Kansas City Forthwith. Tar and Feathers Promised Schweinfurth. Leading Business Men Shocked by His Teachings. They Organize a Strong Vigilance Committee And Prepare to Drive the Prophet "From Their Midst' Kansas City, June 2. A number o business men, citizens of Kansas City, met yesterday afternoon as a vigilance committee and decided that Schweinfurth, who is visiting and holding meetings here, was a blasphemous impositor. It was also decided that he should be made to leave the city or suffer the consequences. A committoo of twelve on the execution of the latter decision was appointed. Thlis committee met and organized and sent the following notice to tchweiufurth by messenger last night: Kansas City, Mo., June 1, 1891. Geore J. Schweinfurth, 914 E. Fourteenth-it., Kansas City, Mo.: At a meeting held here today by a committee of a number of citizens it was resolved that you, as an imposter among a Rood people in this community, hare been a detriment to such an extent that the means adopted as shown hereafter have become a necessity in order to proteet some of your unfortunate, weak-minded victims against beinc openly led to deviations from the true path of good morals and Christianity by your pretended teachings. The people composing this committee are thoroughly Kamai Citjani and will not tolerate this imposition any longer, but will readily adopt the Decenary meant to carry out this verdict We hare resulted that for the good of cur community you are to leare this city within twentyfour hours, and unless yon no comply you must abide by the eoirsequenoe. Wi want an answer by bearer of this letter, and if the sania is not given your non-compliance will be accepted and you may expect au early visit from The Committee. Mo im. Flrit service. Tar and leathers. Schweinfurth declined to send a reply to the committee by the messenger. Tne committee held a further meeting this afternoon but it is not known what action, if any, was decided upon. The alleged "Clintst" instead of miraculously sotting at naught the machinations of the unappreciative Kansas Cit-ans appealed to the worldly powers that be. He dispatched an'anrel" to his honor. Mayor Holmes, this afternoon, who entertained the seraphic vistor and promised worldly protection to the redeemer from Kockford. He detailed two policemen to guard the house where the pretender tarries. The twenty-four hours granted Schweinfurth in which to leave town expire at midnight. Kansas City, Mo. June 3. The executive committee of the vigilance committee which gave warning to Schweinfurth, who has been visiting here for the past few days, to leave town within twenty-four hours or submit to the humiliation of being tarred and feathered, attempted tonight to carry out the will of the full committee. One of their number early this morning went to the house of Mrs. Ward at No. 1422 E. Fourteenth-fit., where Schweinfurth is stopping, and ascertained that the claimant to "divinity" had not obeyed the order to leave, fie reported the fact to the committee and steps were immediately taken to carry out their threat. The lull committee, consisting of thirty men, was called together and each was instructed to fecuro the assistance of ten other men. The plan was to meet tonieht, 000 etronsr, storm Schweinfurth's abode, secure the alleged "Christ" and tar and feather him. Ten o'clock tonight was the hour set for the meeting of the commit tee. At that hour a crowd of hoodlums which had been gathered together in front of the house, were still there, "coffin? and jeering at Schweinfurth. When the hoodlums saw the approach of 300 men, they divined the latter's object and immediately prepared to take a part in the contemplated humiliation of Schweinfurth. They threw rocks and mud at the house which attracted tho attention of the inmates. One of them, a Allen Ford, suspecting that the committee was about to carry out its threats, made a break through the crowd and ran to the nearest telephone where he called for police protection. A patrol wagon full of officers was sent to tho Econe. At its approach the mob quickly disappeared. No arrests were made. BYNUM AND RECIPROCITY. Our Congressman Will Soon Show Up the Brnz ! Fraud. BritKAtr of The Sf.stixbl, ) No. 1418 Niw YOBK-Avit. N. W., V Wasiiingtox. D. C. June 3. ) The actual results of reciprocity arrangement with Brazil are just now occupying the attention of Representative Bynum of Indiana, who stood chatting with friends in the Ebbitt last night Mr. Bynum does not believe there are any advantages, and he proposes soon to incorporate some of his ideas into a magazine article. This paper will bristle with new facts about Brazil, and will open the eyes of many who, he aays. have been blinded by the dust of reciprocity. When he undertakes to show that of the 14,000,000 people in Frazil only 1,500,000 are in a position to buy anything from the United States; when he points out that the cost of freight, insurance, exchange and inability to irive long credits effectually bar the Brazilian market against American manufacturers, and when he undertakes to prove that we are actively engaged in increasing the wealth of Brazil without receiving due return, he expects to rub eome of the glittering polish from what he calls the romance of reciprocity. FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. Tennessee Toughs Commit a Most Outrage out Crime. Bradyvtlle, Tenn., June 3. Quite a sensation prevailed in this community on account of a lot of young men frightening to death the wife of Mr. Thomas Luper last Monday night Three young men went to Mr. Luper's house during his absence about 10 o'clock at night and jumped into the bed where & sixteen and a fourteen-year-old daughter were sleeping. Tho girls at once jumped up and got into bed with their mother, who was nursing a young baby only two weeks old. The boys were induced to go out but at once began throwing rocks at tho house. The sheriff tried to arrest the men, but they resisted and made good their escape I after several ehots had been exchanged.

It is the general opinion that there will

be another lynching if they are captured while the excitement here runs so high. GRAMMARS ARE ADOPTED. Contracts Awarded for All the deheol Bonks Named in the Lsw. - The state board of text-book commissioners Thursday, after nearly an all day session, awarded the contract foradvanced grammars to the Indiana school book company, and for "Elementary Lessons in English" to G inn & Co. of Boston, at the maximum legal prices, 40 cents per volume for the former and 25 cents for the latter. This action completes the list of books authorized to be contracted for by the school-book law. The advertisement for bids on the six books named in the supplementary law was published April 0. The board met May 7 and opened the bids and at once adjourned until May 2ft. The interval was devoted to a careful examination of the sample books submitted by bidders. Upon reassembling the board promptly awarded the contracts for histories, spellers and physiologies. Itfl remained in session for tive days when it adjourned until yesterdav for final action as to the grammars. Following is a full list of the contracts awarded under the supplemental law : Indiana school book company "Spelling Book," Indiana state series, 10 eents; "Advanced Lessons in English Grammar," Indiana state srics, 40 eents; "Adraneed Lessons in Human Physiology," Indiana state series, 60 cents; "Elementary Lessons in Human Physiology," Iodiana state aerie. 30 cents. Oinn & Co, Hoston "Montgomery's History of the United Statts," 65 ceuts; "Elemenary Lessons ia English," 25 cents. The supplementary law requires the trustees to make requisitions for books on the first Monday in June. As the contracts were not awarded at that time, the requirement could not be obeyed, but it will be the duty of the trustees to make their requisitions aa soon as the governor's proclamation announcing the awards is issued, which will probably be within a week, as the contracts will be executed at once. The board of echoot book commissioners has given a great deal of time and labor to the selection of the books and there is no doubt that every book adopted is strictly first-class. The final awards were all made by unanimous votes. THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

Its reference to progressive euchre as reconstructed was read, and after reference to the deliverances of previous assemblies, Dr. Condit, a member of the committee, thought only the first resolution, which was a reference to former deliverances of the assembly, was needed.

In the United presbyterian general assembly tho first order of the day was the relation of the woman's board of missions to theother boards in the foreign fields. The jurisdiction and regulations of the two bourds in some measure conflict. The assembly expressed its judgment that the charter and by-laws of the woman's board should be modified so as to brine the boards into more direct relations with the general assembly. A committee of six was appointed to confer with the woman's board on the subject. The assembly made provisions for the circulation of literature on the subject of systematic giving aud called upon all the churches to co-operate with the committee on ways and means in the raising of money for the boards and institutions of the church. The regular work is to have precedence of special work by congregations. The subject of home mission chatiges was removed from the assembly by a reference to a committee to formulate the plans more perfectly. On invitation the Rev. James Boyce of Louisville addressed the assembly on the position ot the synod of the South as to union. His address waa in a most cordial spirit. The committee on union and the reformed presbyterian ch arch was continued. A very carefully prepared and strong paper on temperance was adopted. As to license, high or low, its tenor is in the sentence, "For the Son of God was manifested to destroy and not to regulate the the work of the devil." The previous deliverance of the assembly of the most radi

cal nature were reaffirmed. Any form of license or taxation of the liquor traffic is unseriptural in principle and contrary to ; iod's government and ought to be disrouraged by every philanthropist and patriot. Partisan friendship for the saloon must bo accepted as hostility to the church, the home and all that is valuable to society. "We favor the abolition of the Kovernment tax on intoxicating liquors as making the nation a participant in the crimp of drunkard-making. We have learned with regret and shame of the actions of the department of state at our national capital in using our government to open markets for the malstera and brewers in neighboring nations."
