Fatal Collision of Electrie Ca Disobedience of orders by the conductor and motorman of an east-bound car on the Clayton electric road last evening resulted in a coll's on about one mile west of Kirk- wood, St. Louis county, Mo. Four persons were fata‘ly injured, twenty-nine badly in- ured and about thirty received slight bruises. The road was recently opened from St. Louis to Clayton, the county seat, and operates a single track from Kirkwood west to Clayton. The fata'ly injured are: J. L. Jones, claim agent Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad; J. A. Aiken, motorman; James Smith, mo- torman, and Dick Lannigan, a passenger. Indications of a Crime. The body of a man chopped to pleces, to- gether with an fafant with {ts skull crush- ed, was found in a barrel in the alley a the rear of 4828 Prairie avenue, Chicago, yesterjay afterroon. A physician exam- ined the rodies last night and said the dis- secting could not have been done by a med- feal student, no matter how inexperienced and as the remains have not been in a pickling vat, it is almost assured that mur- der was committed.

THE OLD LEGISLATIVE ELE CTION DISTRICTS BEFORE THE BATTLE + Democrats Are Ready for the Fray Tomorrow Night. ee REVIEW OF THE SITUATION The Central Committee Combina- tion More Than Sanguine. a ee GLANCE AT THE CONVENTION —— ‘The democrats of the District have com- pleted all their prelimiraries for the con- test tomer ow night, and all sides are rest- ing on their arms preparatory to the com- mencement of the real engagement. The tickets of the central committee, or “straight-out’ combination, as it is jointly termed, have all been printed and distrib- uted in the various assembly districts. The candidates on the “straight-out” ticket are more confident than ever that they will be chosen at the corvention on Thursday, al- though keen observers who have an inti- mate knowledge of the conditions existing thrcvghout the city, and who do not depend entirely for information from one side in particular in order to base their judgment, are of the opinion that there will be a strong tussle in the convention for the Chi- cago trip between Mr. Geo. Killeen and Mr. E. L. Jordan. Mesurs. Turner and Lipscomb. The attempt to inject ex-Congressman Turner into the campaign as an issue and to make Mr. Andrew Lipscomb the arch dictator of both the platform and the policy of the convention on Thursday is generally laughed at. Mr. Lipscomb is a resident and citizen of Virginia, and has been ac- tively engaged in the politics of Alexandria county, and while ke is naturally interested as a democrat in the success of those of his friends here who are candidates for ‘9, he is not exerting any such activ- he has been credited with. Mr. Turrer is very much annoyed at the attempts to puch him forward as a factor in the fight. He said today to a Star re- porter that the persons responsible for the sistent publicity of the statemen‘s re- ng his allered candidacy for various ions were fully aware that he did not ccntempiate striving for any of the honors ationed. First they have me falling over m in the scramble to be a delegate to Chica- go,” said Mr. Turner. “Now they declare my sole ambition is to be the member from the District of Columbia on the democratic ational committee. I reckon if this cam- sign were to last a few days longer, they would have me aspiring for nothing less than the nominaticn to the vice presi- dency.” Increased Representation. Mr. James L. Norris, as the representa- tive of the District on the democratic na- tional committee, secured the adoption of the resclution recommending that the Dis- trict be allowed six delegates in the com- ing national convention. Simon P. Sheerin, secretary of the committee, has sent here copies of a printed circular certifying the passage of the preamble and resolutions referred to by the democratic national committee at its meeting at the Arlington Hotel Thurscay, Jenuary 16. There is some evidence that this recom- mendation of the national committee will be opposed in the national convention. Those who are ir favor of having but two delegates admitted at Chicago are using the argumenis that no issue has been in- jected into the present campaign. They declare that every man who has presented himself as a cardidate has avoided the discussion or even the consideration cf any of the questions which are of vital interest to the demccratic party, and which must be solved at the national gathering in Chicago. They also declare that the announcement of the candidates that they propose to follow the mandates of the convention, no matter what they will be, effectually takes away any influence that @ delegation composed of six could wield, and that the complimentary nature of the District representation could be as well carried out by two delegates as by six. On the other hand the friends of an In- creased represertation from the District, Oklahoma, Indian territory and Alaska point out that the twenty-four votes thus assured by the adoption of the national committee’s recommendation will, be a very substantial factor in assistifig the majority at Chicago to carry out its de- si not only in the adoptien of a plat- form, but in the selection of a man to make the rac? on it. It is pointed out atso that the delegations from: Oklahoma, Indian territory, Alaska and the District would be a anit with such a majority on ary question that might be presented. From this, consequently, they feel com- tely confident of the adoption of the committee's recommendation and the ad- mission of the six delegates. Mr. Norris as an Issue. * AN is not as pleasant as it might be ameng the candidates on the so-called “straight-out" ticket and the numerous democrats in the District who are naturally expected to support them. An effort has been made to secure from each one of the cardidates a formal promise that he will not support Mr. James L. Norris for the democratic rational committee member- ship from this District. Democrats gen- erally all over the District, no matter whether they are cpposed to Mr. Norris or friendly to his interesis, are quite indig- nant over this attempt to intreduce a per- sonal issue into the campaign which has no place in It, and which, they declare, will only iead to a renwal of the bitter factional differences which in the past have torn the democracy of the District asunder and destroyed its collective in- fluence and stilled its voice, so far as pa- tronage and the distribution of the other frvits of victory go. Some of the candi- dates on the combination ticket decline to enter into any agreement that will bind | of allowing these bodies to report, and them to antagonize either Mr. Norris or eny one else for national committeeman or that will pledge them to the support of any particular gentleman who has aspirations toward the position. While it is now more confidently believed than ever that the six candidates iginally named on the “straight-out” ticket, and who are Messrs. Holmead, Boyle, Morgan, Jordan, Matting- ly and Forest, will have the support of a substantial majority of the local con- vention, it ts not believed that the en- tire program outlined by these gentlemen will be followed, and the expectations are that a very lively convention will be held, with many exciting features. No Instructions to the Delegates. The gossip that has been going on for several days about the probable ::ttempt to get the local convention on Thursday to in- struct the delegates sent to Chicago in favor of some particular man for the na- tional committee of the party is not credit- ed amiong the managers of the campaign in behalf of the “straight-out” ticket, und it can be pretty definit stated that any ef- fort to interject the question of who or who shall not be cn the national committee into the deliberations of the meeting at the Acade! of Music will be summarily pre- vented. The convention will proceed in.the same manner as other bodies of its charac It will be called to order by Chairman Hol- mead, and committees will be appointed on credentials and permanent organization. A short recess will be taken for the purpose after ed, the permanent organization is establi. the committee on the resolutions will be ap- pointed. All resolutions introduced during the convention which bear upon matters of rarty policy, and which can be included in the plaiform, will he referrcd to. this committee, but motions r tions to the di are offered, will be vention without reference. It Is expected the cemmittee on resolutiens will consist of fifteen members, and that the platform reported will reiterate the well known prin- ciples of the democratic party, preserving the diplomatte attitude on the money ques- tion and reaffirming the principles of free trade. Mr. Cleveland and the A. P. A. It Is expected that the administration of resident Cleveland will be indorsed, and that his enunciation of the Monroe doc- trine In cennection with the Venezuelan boundary question will be cordially ap- proved. It is also thought that the platforra will contain a plank deploring the tendency that is at present apparent to interject re- ligious questions into national politics to the obscuring, as the resolutions will de- clare, of the real issues that confront the great parties. After the platform is adopted and the delegates are elected a new central com- mitiee will be formed. In the creation of this body the three delegates from each as- sembly district will present the name of a demecrat in such district to represent it on the central committee, and when all the districts have so expressed their prefer- ences the chairman of the convention will announce the central committee thus se- lected.

From the expected opposition of the commanding general of the brigade to +h participation hereafter of local ¢ in interstate drills and the small pi fered in the rifle contests it would most a certainty that the District w be represented at vannah. How Capt. Shilling of the Morton Cadets communication to the adjutant general, has formally requested permission for his com- pany to attend the competition. Cap® Shill- ing took occasion to explain that notwith- standing the attendance of the Morton Ca- dets at the Memphis drill, the compaay showed up in full numbers at the brizade entampment and that during the entire winter unusual energy has been exercised in advancing the work .of the company in matters pertaining to things of a legitivaate military nature. Marked activity has jeen displayed in rifle practice, and a school of instruction conducted for'the advancement of the military knowledge of the men. Capt. Shilling is of the opinion that par- ticipation in interstate drills is necessary to the success of his company, and he guir- antees that if permitted to go to Sav the Morton Cadets will perform all is duty expected of them in a sati: manner. Maj. Wilson, commanding the third battalion, in an indorsement, has fully approved all that Capt.Shilling stated, and it is expected that Col. Moore, com- manding the first regiment, will do the same. Action on the request will be awaited with interest. ; a7” FOR GRIP They Say!!! breaks up a Cold. knocks out the Grip. stops the Snuflles, cures the Congh. soothes the Throat. works wonders in Catarrh. is peerless for Influenza. prevents Pneumonia, clears Clergymna Throat. restores Lost Voice. annihilates Hoarseness, is a sheet anchor for singers, nids Respiration, is Dr. Humphreys’ Grentest Discovery. is recommended by Physicians, is the Triumph of Homeopathy, is a safe-guard against Colds, makes you “Cold-Proof.” acts like a flash. prevents half your sickness, is pleasant to take. “77” just fits your pocket. “T7’ is the best seller. “TT” tho’ priceless, sells for a quarter. “17” {a Sold by Druggista Everywhere, or sent upom receipt of price.
