Lucker’s Senator Hayward Dying. Neb... Nov. 16.—United States Senator Hayward is dying at his home at Nebraska City, from a lesion of the brain, eaused by over- work. He was first attacked Thurs- day last, and has been steadily sink- ing. To-night his physicians give no hope of recovery. His condition is the great mental strain he endured last winter in the senatorial contest, which he won only after a ten week’s struggle. Last August he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis. He recovered partially, but overworked himself in the campaign and in getting his pri- vate business in shape to “leave for Washington next month. Here at Lincoln it is believed that Goy. Poynter will name ex-Senator Wm. V. Allen to succeed Senator Hayward, should his illness result fatally. His is the only name men- tioned. Mr. Allen was appointed a Judge of the District court last April, to succeed Congressman Robinson, and at the recent election he was elected to the position by a large ma- jority. Mr. Allen’s term expired in March last. If appointed, he will hold until 1901, 1 meeting of the legislature occurring till then. Senator Thurston's term expires then, and it is confidently asserted that if Mr. Bryan is not called higher he can have one of the two senator- ships then, as the legislature is quite certain to be fusion.

Bristol, Nov. 15.—The visit of Queen Victoria here to-day to open the Convalescent Home of Clifton was made the occasion fora great display of patriotism. The town was lavish- ly decorated and the Queen passed through six miles of venetian masts, imperial standards, heraldic designs, and garlands of flowers. Thirty trains brought immense crowds of visitors to Bristol. The Queen, who was accompauied by Princess Chris- tian of Schieswig-Holstein, Princess Heury of Battenberg and the Duch- ess of Connaught, was received with a royal salute, and, escorted by ade- tachment of the Household Cavalry, the procession started for Clifton in the midst of a tumultuous popular YOUNG IS MAKING RAPID MARCHES.

Before leaving the jail he tore the masks from the faces of three men and called their names out loudly. He also shouted to the prisoners to send word to his son in Arkansas to come home and wreak vengeance upon the three men. Huff's body was cut down this morning and now lies in Bloomfield awaiting the finding of the coroner's jury, which will return a verdict to- morrow. The crime for which Huff was carcerated was the killing of Andrew Melton, a young man who lived near Puxico in the northern portion of this county last Saturday. A feud has existed between the two families for several months, and of late the heads of the two families have been contin- ually on the lookout for trouble. Last Saturday young Melton and old man Huff were seen approaching each other on the railroad track. As they neared each otherthey began to fire and at the first volley Melton fell mortally wounded. Three other shots finished him.

Some valuable evidence collected to-day, which, it is thought, wilf lead to the apprehension of the leader and the men who composed mob.
