I was somewhat surprised to see Mr. Walton’s name signed to the article | mentioned, inasmuch as I have met | and talked with him repeatedly and | frequently in the last few weeks and | within the last few days, and he! has never said one word to me about, the matter of a convention. My sur | prise was increased, if pogsible.when | J read that he had written letters to the members of the central commit- tee asking their views as tu the ad visability of a convention and had not seen fit to honor me with such communication, although 1 am a elected by the Democratic voters of the second largest township in the county. I wish to say to Mr. Wal- ton through the columns of your paper, since he has sought this method of discussing party matters, that I stand read at any time to call the Democratic Central Committee together to consider the calling of a county convention to take action on the silver or any other question whenever I am advised that the members of ths committee or the Democratic voters of the county de- sire such called issued.

The cyclone was from 80 to 100 feet in width. A number of houses and outbuildmg were totally wrecked, and several persons were so badly injured they are not expected to live.

Leusiville, Ky, June 16.—-Arthur Gaucon late this afternoon shot and member of the committee, regularly | kille«! his wife at Rollington, near Pewre Vulley.and mortally wounded her boy paramour, Tom Murphy. Gaudon's wife took her three child ren five years ago and left him on} account of his dissipated habits, and since then he had been of little ac count. Gaudon operated store at Pewee Valley, but did noth- ing for his family. after the separation scandalous talk was circulated about the conduct of Mrs. Gaudon. She was a very beau tiful woman and readily attracted the men. These reports reached Gaudon’s ears and he had often threatened to kill the man on whom | he could fasten any illicit connection with Mrs. Gaudon. Of late Tom Murphy, a young fellow of about 20, was very frequently mentioned. This afternoon as Gaudon was riding along the road he met Murphy, who was on horseback. Gaudon at once opened fire, killing Murphy’s horse and putting two bulletts through Murphy's head. He then left Mur- phy lying in the road and coolly riding to where Mrs. Gaudon was to Mr. | Chairman that in my judgement,|!which had been brought into the| or more questions | arise in the party of such mammoth proportions as this financial ques- tion has, and Democrats are meeting al) around him, as throughout the entire country, itis his duty to call a shoe In a short while issued that had been so unanimous | boarding, litterally chopped her to in the party, the members of the/ pieces with a big knife.

What nonsense. Why repeat- | edly consult him? One interview is | sufficient. My reason for writing to | these gentlemen was to get an ex-| pression from the Democrats | throughout the county. This is what the chairman should have done. He manifested no desire whatever on | his part to consult the committee, | but ignoring their counsel altogeth- er and in his judgment, saw fit to} consult one law firm in Butler, | especially in his letter to the Post Dispatch.

The early hours last night were passed iby the members drinking beer, House and committee rooms in cases. Case after case was drained and the| members felt it’s influence. Speaker | Meyer held the fort until the last; motion was put and carried. At 11 o'clock a janitor named Scotten was discovered by several members to | be voting their names and a dive} was made for him. Pandemonium ensued and Speaker Meyer ordered them put out and! the big door locked. Reaching the corridor the mob grew to several huudred, members, | citizens and employes, cracking each others heads at will and without | discrimination. | | Big members struggled with little | janitors and big janitors took de- iight in seeing how hard they could hit the little Representatives. The Senate was thrown into a tumult and many of the Senators came over | to the House corridor and took al hand in the shindy. | During the riot two janitors were discovered throwing furniture, desks, chairs, writing paper, waste baskets, etc, out of a third story window. They were corralled and another fight ensued. This disturbance con- tinued for nearly an hour. Speaker Meyer oalmly viewed the | closing hours of his menagerie, aud bad the clerk read bill after bill, and declared it passed, or lost, as he wished. There is no telling what bills did pass until they are en- grossed by the clerks, which will take aweek. An attempt was made to adjourn several times but Speaker Meyer had the clock turned back two hours, and would not put the motion until midnight arrived. After the smoke of battle had cleared, it was found that several members and others bore traces of their scrapping. All order was out of the question. The infamous consolidation of street railways was passed over the Gover- nor’s veto in the Senate. The train robbing bill was defeated in the House and the Express bill was kill- ed. Others of more or less import- avce were passed or killed. Votes of thanks were tendered President Gill and Speaker Meyer. Clerk Reeves, of the House, was given a $500 diamond stud by the members. The scene of the wreck this morn- ing is a desolate one. The House is strewn with all sorts of paper, boeks, broken desks, demolished chairs and ruined carpets grace the chamber that has known so many dignified occasions. The Capitol yard sur- rounding House is littered with broken furniture, paper, pieces of clothing, hats and other chattels. The noise of the confusion last night was heard for a mile and at- \tracted an immense throng of citi- }zens. Weston of Cook, at 1:35, | moved an adjournment sine die and the Speaker, scarcely able to hold his head up, declared it carried, and the session was of the past The cost tothe State of this ses sion will be awful. The appropria tions alone will run into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars, while that stolen will exceed the amount rightfully appropriated. New State inttitutions have been established and the sum so magnified that it will take over $5,000,000 to keep Illinois out of the poor house during the next two years. This will, of course, work to the disadvantage of the Republican perty, who were ina majority in both branches. Gov. Altgeld bas done all he could to j hold the extravagance down, but the odds were against him, and the matter goes on record against the | Republicans. of Abbeville, S.C., a brother-in law of the late President Abraham Lio- coln, now 79 years of age, has gone blind.
