Yesterday the delegates of the First congressional district of Indiana, met here to select a republican candidate for congressional honors. They took fortyseven ballots during ths day and night, adjourning at midnight. At 0 o'clock this morning they reassembled, but the delegates hadn't changed their opinion. The Gibson, county delegates received a telegram instructingthem to "vote . for Twineham forever and one day after." Posey and Jieminway were about as strong: today as yesterday. Combinations were tried, but failed. Then a complimentary vote of fifty-four was given John II. Osborn of this city and immediately delgates from other counties wanted to know: "Do you mean It?" Ha could have been chosen then and there, but refused to allow his name to be used. The three candidates agreed to have the convention adjourned and let new delegates be appointed. They were almost mobbed by delegates who offered such a thing. As the ballots grew in numbers Chairman J. "W. "Wilson of Pike county became Impatient and "roasted" Vanderburg county especially, saj-ing there were too many "statesmen" in this county. The convention soon reminded eld democrats In attendance of the "rump" convention held in Booneville during the early SOs. After the seventieth ballot a motion to adjourn to meet again at the call of the district committee was overwhelmingly defeated. The same motion after th seventy-third ballot was carried. The delegates are hot at each othr and at Chairman "Wilson, although not much feeling was displayed, except as to the chairman, who was vigorously denounced for the 'high-handed way in Irnich, he ran the convention. The various factions are firm for their own candidates. It is more than likely that when it meets again the pamu scene will be enacted. FRANKLIN. April 20. Special. All Js not smooth sailing with the republicans of this congressional district, especially with those of this county. There is evidently a split among them which bodes no good for the candidate from this county. Jesse Overstreet. It has all along been understood that if Mr. Overstreet would cme out he would receive the Indorsement of the entire county and have no opposition whatever. A few weeks ago the republicans of Blue River township at a meeting instructed their delegates to support Judg William A. Johnson, who was formerly a resident of that township. When this news reached here it was as if a bombshell had exploded in the camp of the republicans, and from that time on it has been the only topic of conversation among them, and secret conclaves have been held to derive some means by which the Judge could be gotten out of the race. There is evidently some underhand work being done on the quiet and those interested In the judge's welfare will not show their hands until the day of the convention. In the meantime Judge Johnson states that he is not a candidate, but at the same time intimates that he would not refuse the nominalen If It was given him. Last Wednesday the Columbus Herald published an article to the effect that the Judge was In that city and had a conference with Weldon Lambert. Joseph I. Irwin and Judge Hacker and It was surmised that a coaliti. n has been enterd into to down Jesse Overstreet of Franklin and Candidate Norton of Columbus, and that the Judge had slipped into town unawares to the "kids." Today Judge Johnson, who is holding court at Shelbyvllle, comes out in a letter and denies It. but between the lineg he says he wants to be a candidate. Cooper will defeat anybody the republicans nominate. LOGANS POUT, April 20 Judge Johnson and Charles D. Landis, the two republican candidates for the nomination for congress in the Tenth district are here working. Two delegates were selected In "Washington township today and Landis captured them. Tonight Land's emphitically denied the claim votes of having enough to nominate him at Hammond, May 24. Landis claims that he wil capture a majority of the delegates from this county Saturday an 1 that ha will secure the nomination. It Is predicted that whose ver secures the delegates her next Saturday Landis will be the nominee. Landis is charged by his enemies with being a mugwump on account of his brother, K. M. Landis, who la Secretary of State Gresham's private secretary, but this Is not true, lie Is a clear cut republican and will vote with his party right along. HARTFORD CITY. April 20 Special. At a rousing city convention of democrats last night. Isaiah Cortright was nominated for mayor and Jefferson Butler, the present marshal, was renominated. Mr. Butler is quite popular and will surely be elected. George F. Dale was renominated for clerk and William N. Gable for treasurer. All are first-class democrats and will make a good race. GREETED WITH ROTTEN EGGS. llorr a. Preacher Was Received In Iiis Pulptt at Monument City. HUNTINGTON, April 17. Special. The Rev. Samuel Rothermel of Monument City, this county, was in this city today and swore out warrants for the arrest of nine young men whom he alleges disturbed his meetings. Ills Is a country church and It seems some of the people do not like him. Sunday evening he was conducting his usual services when a noisy crowd appeared and began raising a disturbance. The preacher called them down and In return h received a big volley of rotten eggs that broke and splashed all over him and several other persons. The preacher's clothes were ruined. The excuse given by the assailants was that the Rev. Mr. Rotherrm-1 is such a poor speaker that they wanted to keep him from holding any more meetings. A West Pointer Selected. CRAWF0RD3VILLE, April 20. Special. Congressman Brookshire has appointed Michael E. Foley of this county to fill the vacancy at the West Point military academy for the eighth congressional district. While it Is a very desirable ap-polntment It came unsought to Mr. Foley.

THF! MARSHALL. TRAGEDY. Voanc Raton's Fnneral-Te t of the Letter That Made the Trouble. MARSHALL, 111.. April 23. The funeral of Will Eaton, killed Friday night by a too-ready offlcer, was held yesterday and was one of the largest ever witnessed In Marshall. A shudder ran over the vast assemblage at the grave when ihe frenzied mother called down curses on the "murderers of her boy." She and her husband are among the most respected citizens of the place and both are members of the Christian church. The killing of Eaton is believed to have been wholly unwarranted, as he could have been captured easily without resorting to violence. It Is even doubted If he Is the man who tried to extort money from Mrs. Rrown, In spite of his utterances when he was shot. The letter Mrs. Brown received was as follows: "You are herein requested by parties unknown to you to deliver to said parties on the night of the 20th of April, 194. the sum of $200 in paper money. We are desperate and determined men, and we make this demand for money because we must and positively will have it at any cost. You are one of the wealthy persons of this town and are able to stand It. Should you refuse to give us this money It will cost you your property; on the other hand. If you grant this request, you need have no cause to be afraid of us ever troubling you again. This Is no Idle threat, for we mean Just what we say and are prepared to do what we say. This amount you will never miss, but It means a great deal to us and we are desperate enough to do anything for money; it will be useless for you to get out of it without suffering the consequences, for we have been there before. It will also be usless to attempt to trip us up. for we are prepared for any emergency. This is a warning and the last we will give; the money must be ready tomorrow night. Place it in an envelope and layIt on the fence by the side of the west gate-post at the top of the post of the barn-3-ard gate; place it there promptly at 8 o'clock and it will be taken without molesting or meeting you, which we suppose would be very unpleasant to you. Don't allow yourself to think we do not mean this, for we do, and we will most certainly carry out our threat. We must have money." The note was turned over to the officers who expected an attack from several men and prepared to prevent it. At the appointed time Sheriff Herst, City Marshal Hedwick. two sons of Mrs. Brown, and John Hanks were located at convenient places about the house. An envelope containing blank paper was at the place designated In the letter. The watchers saw one man approach at about the hour named and stop before he reached the location of the envelope, pause an instant and pass on. A few minutes later another man was seen approaching. This man reached the gate, secured the letter and turned to go. The officer cried "Halt." but the man did not halt. He started to run and had gone only a few feet whn five shots rang out simultaneously as of one gun. The officers found their victim was Will Eaton. It is hard for the people to believe that a young man of Eaton's reputation would have been in such a scheme, and many friends believe firmly that he was either led into it by accomplice or hired to do. the Vork. The statement of the officers make it appear that the attempt was by at least two people. Marshal Hedwick stated that the first man was evidently an accomplice on account of his behavior. "When the shots were fired." said Hedwick. "I started toward him. or rather he started toward me. I supplied it was a tramp and caught him by the arm. The wounded man paid, My God. Willard. is that you? I did not intend to murder the poor widow. I must have been crazy.' He said something about some other person which I did not hear, and when he began to stagger I did not know who it was at the time. If I had had l.ftoo guesses Eaton wmld have been the last I would have mentioned." The dead boy had left a young lady' to whom he was engaged only a few moments before the shooting. lie could have had only time enough to walk to his death. The officers are hard at work trying to find the other parties in the affair. THE MIMIE MIKDER. llorr a Man Vn Put Out of a Saloon and Killed. MUNCIE, April 23. Special. This afternoon Frank BeneJum made a confession of the affair in which Attorney Lemuel Bailey was killed Saturday night. He stated that Bailey was killed by Mike Gorman, his bartender. Benadum saya when he entered his saloon Bailey was sitting there intoxicated and he ordered Gorman to take him out. Benadum 6ays Gorman got the man outside, but in the scuffle struck Bailey with a pair of bras3 knucks killing him. Benadum says he will swear to this at the preliminary hearing tomorrow morning and will be able to prove his statement- Dr. Green, who made the po3t mortem examination, says he does not believe the story as there was no evidence of such a lick, but that the man was choked to death. There is no doubt that some startling evidence will be given at the preliminary hearing. William Watson, the other man accused, has secured the services of Attorney Mason of Toledo. O., to defend him. and it is thought that his home is in Toledo Instead of St. Louis. Eenadum's confession caused a great commotion this afternoon.
