John W. Mackay, Jr-, Was Dashed Against a Tree. Paris, Oct. 19.—The following de- tails of the death of John W. Mackay Jr., have been obtained: For some days past Mr. Mackay and two friends, Messrs. Lynch and Digby, have been trying some lately pur- chased horses over hurdles and ditches on a course laid out by Mr. Mackay on the estate of the Duke of Gramont, in the department of the Sarthe, which he had rented. Con- trary to the adyice of his friends, Mr. Mackay yesterday mounted a particularly restiye horse, who had been ridden by Mr. Lynch on Thurs- day. Asaresult, the horse bolted from the track and rushed through the thickets. Mr. Mackay succeed- ed in dodging several of the trees, but he was finally overcome by the exertion, lost all control of his horse reeled in the saddle and finally col- lided with fearful force against a tree, which he struck with his head and knee. The collision hurled him to the ground and when his friends | rushed to the spot they found him suffering from ghastly wounds in the head, both of his eyes being | crushed. All the immediate attempts to restore the young man to couscious- ness proved futile, and he was car- ried home and the doctors were called. After three hours of atten- tion they succeeded in restoring their patient to consciousness, but he had several relapses and expired at 9:30, after shaking hands with and saying good-bye to all his) friends, whom he recognized by the | sound of their voices. His last fare- well was toa favorite dog, which would not leave his bedside. No member of the Mackay family was present at the deathbed. Mr. Lynch came to Paris to inform Mr. Clarence Mackay, brother of the dead man, of the terrible accident, and succeeded in persuading him not to go to the castle where the re- mains rested. Mrs. John W. Mackay left Paris yesterday on a trip to| Normandy, but she is expected back in Paris at any moment, when the sad news will be broken to her. The body will be enbalmed and brought to Paris on Monday next, after which it will be exposed to the view of the friends of the family in a chapelle ardent at Mrs. Mackay’s residence on the Rue Tilsitt. ] Senator Vest Misquote Dr W D Hannah Dr W E Tucker Robert McCracken W B Tyler A McCracken E Turner John Pharis Wm W Trigg JK Rosier Wm Walls JW Reisner GP Wyatt L B Starke Dr NL Whipple Clem Slayback John H Sallens Peter Swartzendruber Max Weiner RG West di. Jefferson City, Mo, Oct. 21—A | state officer to-day received a letter | from United States Senator George | G. Vest, who complains bitterly that | he was grossly misrepresented in an interview published in a St. Louis afternoon paper. Among other things the senator says in the letter: “The reporter colored and dis- torted what I said. There werea half dozen gentlemen in my room, including Judge Shackleford of Glasgow, Vincent Marmaduke and | R. C. Clark. Iexpressed my fears of the national eenvention on ac- count of money and patromage, and said we must watch the matter of selecting delegates, or they would stock the convention. I said the odds were against us in the conven- tion, ulthough we would win at the polls. I did not say that we couldn’t win. In my speech I said the same thing. Iwarned our friends against over confidence and urged them to be active and vigilant. The inter- view was fixed up by the reporter, and for sensational purposes went | far beyond all I said or meant. Things are getting im fine shape. We have no organization, no money, and are fighting each other. What does the state central committee propose? Why don't they meet and appoint an executive committee, so | that the work of organization can \ be commenced? We ought now to | be at work in every doubtful county | but the only work going on is that | of democrats fighting and misrepre- | senting each other.” | | Ovations Tendered Joe Blackburn in Western Kentucky. Versailles Ky., Oct. 18.—Senator | Joe Blackburn wzites home that his tour through western Kentucky has |been a series of ovations and he has no fears as to his victory in that | end of the state. A Blackburn man has been nomi- nated in nearly every legislative | primary that has been held recently in the first and second congressional districts. ; Senator Blackburn will return to Versailles and deliver a speech here on the 28th. The republicans are ‘making a streneus effort to wrest the senator's home county from him, having nom- inated for the legistature Col. C.

In jevent of a clash of arms in the dis- puted territory the United States must fight, also. That is the logic of the situation. 1t is highly improbable, however, that a conflict will occur. England is an adept at a bluff game, itself. An unmistakable declaration, in plain | eorane, reaffirming the position of | the United States to the court of St. James, backed by a movement of battleships to strategic points, may convince England that the Monroe doctrine “bluff” is a serious affair, indeed. If England is bluffing the bluff must be called. If it’s statesmen are serious, it is time to prepare for a conflict. Boodle *‘To Aid My Campaign” Asked by a Preacher. Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 19.—The Democratic State Executive Com- mittee published this morning a let- ter purporting to be from C. W. Heoffer, Republican member of the present Legislature and candidate for re-election, addressed to the committee in which he offers to sup- port Senator Brice in his canvas for return to the Senate, in consid- eration of financial support in his campaign for Representative from Darke County. In the letter he says; “On account of personal reasons, I can not consistently nor will I support Hon. J. B. Foraker for United States Senator in the event ofa Republican Legislature being elected this fall. On the contrary, I| hereby pledge upon my honor in the event of my election to vote for any candidate your bodies may indicate, whether he be Senator C. S. Brice or another, provided that I am re-| munerated to the extent of $1,500} for the purpose of making my cam-! paign and bringing about this re-| sult.” | Heoffer is a preacher. He left for| his home in Greenville, where he said he had to preach a funeral ser-| jmon yesterday. His proposition, properly attested, has been photo. | graphed and is published in the Democratic papers of the State in facsimile. The State Republican Committee received a telegram from the Darke County Republican Com- mittee stating that C. W. Heoffer has withdrawn from the ticket. Shipped a Dying Man. Kansas City Star. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train from the Southwest this morning bore a passenger who had been placed on the train by the authorities of Wagner,I.
