; | i oo a “YOU'RE A LIAR"—“YOU'RE AN- OTHER.” Mr. Ingalls ana Mr. Voorhees Air Their Vituperations in the Senate. Washington, May 2.—In the course of his speech yesterday Sena- tor Ingalls alluded to the war record of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. He recalled the speech of the Indiana senator made at Sullivan, Ind., in 1862, in which, it is charged, that Voorhees called the soldiers ‘Lin- coln’s hirelings” and said they ought to wear iron collars inscribed “My dog. A. Lincoln.” He also recalled the charges of other speeches made by the Indiana senator opposing the war for the Union in sentiment and declaration. At the conclusion of the Kansas senator's remarks Senator Voorhees arose and denounced Ingalls as pu- sillanimous liar and his references as contemptible and foul slanders. He also referred to the war record of Mr. Ingalls in a sarcastic manner. Mr. Ingalls replied that if his record was not brilliant, it was on the Union side, and was not one of determined, outspoken, positive, ag- gressive and malignant enmty to the Union. Mr. Voorhees then de- nounced that asalie. Mr. Ingalls repeated the charges made in this speech, and said they could be prov- ed by reputable citizens of Indiana. Mr. Voorhees said that even if In- galls declared it, it would be a lie. Mr. Ingalls proceeded to read the proof and said Mr. Voorhees was an object of charity. “The senator from Kansas is an object of contempt,” was the reply of the senator from Indiana. Con- tinuing, he said that if he had ever been a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle or ofany other se- cret political body, he hoped God would not allow him to leave the senate chamber. Mr. Ingalls asked: “Did not the soldiers of Indiana threaten to hang the senator with a bell rope on a train after he made the Lincoln dog speech?” Mr. Voorhees rejoined: “The sen- ator 1s a great liar when he intimates such a thing,—a great liarand adirty dog. It never occurred—never in the world. This is all the answer I have, and I pass it back to the scoun- drel behind the senator who is in- stigating these lies.” (This remark was made in reference to Represen- tative Johnson of Indiana, who was seated at the desk directly in the rear of Mr. Ingalls.) Mr. Ingalls replied: “There is a very reputable gentleman in the chamber, a citizen of Indiana, who informs me that the. signers of the certificates are entirely reputable in- habitants of Indiana and he knows fifty people who heard the senator.” Mr. Voorhees answered: “Tell him Isay he is an infamous scoundrel and a liar. Tell him T say so.” Justice Harlin Astonished. Justice Harlan tells the story of a man who came to his house one w why rI E do do | i ' re of the n and tell you how you can get the infor-' mation you seek before anyone else.” The man’s face brightened up when the justice continued: | “The day when the opinion is de- | livered—I can not tell when that} will be—come to the supreme court | room and take a seat on the front | bench. Then, as it is read, the sound will reach your ears first. Good evening.” And as the man, with a somewhat crestfallen mien, turned toward the door, the justice added with a pe- culiar emphasis in his voice: “Wait a moment, sir; you should thank me for uot kicking you down stairs.” But the man with one bound had already cleared the hall and was tearing down the street when the justice thoughtfully returned to his study.—Chicago Herald.

All readers of newspapers remem- ber the aecounts of depredations by footpads in Kansas City, in January, that culminated in the murder of the popular young man, Allen M. Hynson. The murder wasshrouded in mystery and has baffled the skill of detectives. The officers have sus- pected all along that they had the murderer in one or two of the four persons who were arrested as Jack Keith, Charles Williams, Charles Ward and one Williper, but positive proof has been hard to get. These four feotpads have been in jail for some time, one of them, Charles Ward, in a confidential moment con- fided to a cell mate named Dickson, that himself and Charles Williams killed young Hynson, Ward firing the shot that killed his victim.

El Paso, Texas, May 1.—Last Christmas, John Connors, who lived in El Paso but owned a saloon in Paso Del Notre, beat his wife nearly to death. Returning next day and finding her still in bed, he again beat her senseless. It was regarded as one of the most fiendish cases of brutality on record. After weeks of lingering between life and death, the woman recovered from her broken ribs, fractured arm and other injur- ies. She applied for a divorce, e: ly secured it, and had a division of their somewhat extensive property.

Martin, editor of the New Mississip- |pian, was returning to his office | from his dinner about 2 o'clock yes- | terday afternoon, when he was met | about midway between his home and | his office by General Adams and a friend who had left the postoftice a few minutes earlier and were pro- ceeding towards Martin’s home. Adams stopped Martin and engag- ed him in conversation for about a minute, when Adams drew his _pis- tol and fired, knocking Martin's hat off, Adams’ second shot brought Martin to his knees. Martin experienced considerable difficulty in drawing his pistol, but finally succeeding, he fired rapidly. A third shot by Adams caused Mar- tin to fall flat on his back. After a few seconds, however, he partially arose and steadying himself on his elbow, shot Adams directly through the heart, killing him instantly. Martin lived a few minutes only. Owing to the fact that Martin is be- lieved to have received four shots while only three chambers of Adams’ pistol were empty somesuspicion at- taches to Ned Farrish, Adams’ friend, and an investigation will be held. Martin, though only 25 years of age, stood at the head of Mississip- pi journalists. General Adams was between 65 and 75 years of age and was one of Mississippi's most dis- tinguished men. The following article, published this morning in the New Mississip- ian, was the immediate cause of the tragedy, though a breach has long existed between the two men: “Peo- ple who do not receive the New Mississippian regularly will please remember that since we exposed the obliquities of General Wirt Certiti- cate Adams, the postoffice is endeay- oring to wreak its spite against this paper in every possible way. This paper has to be in the office about halt an hour or an hour sooner than the republican paper here, or it is made to lie over for another mail. It is strange how mad some men will get when plain truth is told them in print, and yet this paper is feeling remarkably well] English Spayin Liniment removes all Hard, Sott, or Callouscd Lumps and Blemishes from horses, Blood Spavin, Curbs, Splints, Sweeney, Stifles, Sprains Sore and Swollen Throat, Coughs, Etc- Save $50 by use of one bottle.
