Trouble Over n .Inke.
A ] eke perpetrated by J. H. McMurtry of
.Lincoln has made the senators hero a great
deal of trouble. Some tlmo stnco Mr. Me-
Mnrtry wrote huro asking the senators of
Nebraska in a very great personal favor to
himself to unite with certain Kentucky
friends in saying a goal word for a relative of
his of the same name , residing in Kentucky ,
who Is a candidate for a foreign appoint
ment , chargeable to the state of Kentucky.
Both senators cheerfully compiled with this
request nnd Senator Paddock , as nn answer
to J. II. MeMurtry's request , sotit him the
letter of Private Secretary Halford , ncknowl-
edclnT the recolot ot his concurrent com
munication. The playful observation of too
"
.Lincoln MuMurtry us "to the crofter to him
self of such nn appointment which ho did not
care about taking 1 bringing down upon the
senators n deluge of patriotic nssurances
from their good republican friends In Ne
braska that each und all of them ara ready
to accept the appointment which Mr. Mc-
Murtry-is doubtful about indulging in hlni-
nclf. The senators are of the opinion that
neither the Nebraska nor the Kentucky Mo-
Murtry is In imminent danger of being
called to Sidney , Australia , or nny other
foreign consulate at the present time.

disposition Is to get toaotbor and agree upon
a program of business , At present , mat-
tcrt are simply drilling along , and it Is d&t
sired to bring order out of the confusion
which prevails. The silver question is the
most discouraging element. Tbo tariff bills
and the regular annual appropriation bills
, 'will soon demand u great deal of attention ,
and It U agreed there must shortly
coino a time wtiou the program
-of business for some months to
come must bo settled upon if anything
Is to bo accomplished. It Is probablothat the
whole democratic policy will bo considered
at a caucus to bo called soon and u program
of action outlined as far as poislblo. The

of antagonizing the tariff and
other measures. They say , however -

subject to llta of low spirits. Ho und M. Abolllo
mot about three .vcttrs ago and soon became
intimate , owing to a similarity of ngoz and
character. M. Abclllo's relations with Mr.
nnd Mrs. Deacon were these of a frlond. Ho
visited thorn frequently , often calling several
times on the same dny ,
rlnns for'tho Winter.
It was arranged some months ago that'
Mrs. Deacon was to spend the winter at
Cannes whllo her husband was going to
America. Mrs. Deacon loft Purls for the
Rivtorn on February lIanit her four daugh
ters with servants came on the next day.
After his wife's ' departure Mr. Deacon loft
his residence In the Kilo do Gronellc , Paris ,
and look rooms at the Hotel Windsor. In
stead of leaving- for America ho started for
Cannes last Sunday. I was informed at thu
Windsor that Mr. Doncon "buvalt un pou , "
which may mean very little or a great deal ,
There is no reason , however , to discount In
a similar fashion nn additional statement to
the effect that Mr. Deacon was exceedingly
violent in disposition. On ono occasion ,
when tbo potatoes were not cooked to his
liking , ho How Into a violent rage , aousing
the servants and smashing the glass door
with his fist.
Mr. Kane of Chorbetto , Kane & Co. , the

Deacon. The latter is couched in the follow

"Last night I flrod three revolver shots at
Kmllo Abcillo , whom I found in my wife's
apartment. One ball wounded him in tbo

The dcueased's sister , the vicamtojso do la

at Monte Carlo.
According to the latest dispatches tbevo
seems to bo no doubt that Deacon found

magistrate Mr. Deacon said ha bad boon sus

Figaro this , Saturday , morning contains
the following about tbo Cannes tragodr :
"Tho murder was not committed under
circumstances hitherto reported. Mrs.
Deacon made her husband belimro Abiello
had left Cannes , but still remaining sus
picious of the guilty relations between them ,
the husband announced his intention of
going to Monte Cailo. Instead ho remained
in Cannes all the evening and Just before
midnight returned to the hotel. Ho wont to
the door of bisvifo's room , overheard voices
inside. Then getting a pistol and meeting
the hotel manager ho said , "Follow mo. "
Then bo forced hi1 * way Into his wife's room
and finding no ono there except bis wife ,
went into thu adjoining parlor whcrn he
discovered Abelllo hiding , not behind a chair
as stated , but under a sofa. Deacon dis
charged three shots from his revolver under
the sofa , severely wounding Abcillo who ,
however , succeeded in getting away and re
turning to his own room in tbo hotel , wboro
after great suffering of several hours'
duration ho died.
"After taking two employes of the hotel to
witness that his wife's ued had boon occupied
by two persons , Deacon wont to the comrals-
sairc of police and constituted himself a pris
oner , declaring to the commlssairo that ho
had lorigfluspoctod his wife and foil that the
affair would end badly , but that ho had no
intention of killing bis .vifo'.s paramour.
"During the day Mrs. Deacon loft the
SplondUo hotel with her children and is now

"It is said that a countess living In ParU ,

about to bring an action for divorce with a
view to marrying Abulllo , and that this pre

Rltlon to the Srlirino ,
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. 19. The Interest
of the great reform organization of the coun
try Is centered In the national conference to
bo hold in SU Louis on Monday next , and
upon the outcome of this conference rests the
fate of the national third party movement.
It Is conceded by lha representatives of nli
the great industrial organizations , the farm
ers alliance , citizens alliance , Farmers
Mutual Benefit association , Colored Farmers
Alliance nnd Co-operative union , Knights
of Labor and the Patrons of Husbanu ;
( hat thn predominant issue at th
coming conference will bo the third partykV
movement. Principles , measures nnd dec- >
aratlons will , of course , all bo discussed by
the 1,000 or more delegates In attendance ,
but the great question at Issue will bo ,
"Shall tbo various labor and Industrial or
ganizations of the country unite In a ua-
tlonnl nnd independent movement , promul
gate n common declaration of principles ,
nominate candidates for the presidency nnd
vice presidency , and contest with the two
old parties for supremacy In the nation.
The people's party representatives In congress -
gross generally believe that this question
will bo answered In afllrmntivo by Iho St.
Louis conference. Representative Simpson
of Kansas , guo.s lo St. Louis as the champion
of the third party movement , nud although
his eight colleagues of the regular people's
party in the house may not nil bo in attend
ance nt SI. Louis , it is understood they shuro
his views ns to Iho necessity of u national
party.
I'owor of llui Conlrrciirn.
Representative Watson of Georgia , the
nominee of the tilno people s party congress
men In the house for speaker , and consequently
quently the general recognized loader of his
party in congress , will not attend thu St.
Louis conference , but lils views will bo Im
portant as indicating the line of action likely
to bo nursuod.
"I shall not myself go to St. Louis , " said
ho today , "but will remain hero and attend
to my congressional duties. I am. however ,
heartily in favor of independent political ac
tion in support of the Ocalu demands.
I believe that is the only way
to get them enacted Into law. To have any
success wo must cotsoulheru reformers , who
are democrats , lo join in the action with the
western nnd northwestern reformers who
uro republicans. Wocannotgo totheir party ; '
they cannot cnino to ours. The only practical
schema lo unlto Ihom is to go into a now or
ganization lha. basis of which shall bo Iho
unit of our demands. In other words , wo
propose to unite by getting together. Mr.
Livingston's nlan is a proposition lhat wo
should unlto oy stuylng apart. 1 have no
doubt that the St. Louis meeting will dcclaro
m favor of Independent political action In
support of the platform which they will
ugroc upon. "
Simpson's I'liins.
It Is crenorally understood that Representa
tive Simpson of Kansas will bo among the
loaders of Iho third party movement at Iho
SI. Louis conference. Ho maintains , however -
over , that he will not bo so radical in his de
mands as his opponents have supposed , but
will do nil in his power to preserve unity.
"I am going to St. Louis , " said ho , "bo-
cause I am a dclocate , delegated by'lh'o Kan
sas pcoplo of my district. I am going there ,
as other delegates are , for ino purpeso of or
ganizing u new party. I will be glad of it ,
thouirh I .shall not insist upon this in the con
vention. "
"What action , in your opinion , should betaken
taken as to tbo organization of a third party
and Iho nomination of presidential candi
dates ? " Congressman McKolghan of Ne
braska was asked.
"In ' said bn "there Is
my state,1' , already a
third party organization , and I have made u'p
my mind tbat tbo organization of a now party
in America is necessary in order lhat thu do-
mantis of the pnoplo may bo crystallized
into life. , It is clear to any
fair-minded man that the republican
und democratic parties of today are
very much divided on many ot Iho demands
made by Iho people. Believing , as I do , that
tbo interstate commerce law should bo so
amended that the average man may he nblo
to understand something of the provisions by
reading ; believing tbo llnancial affairs of the
counlry in the past have been in the lulor-
osts of the moneyed classes as against the
producers ; Hint the present system of
national luxation , falsely called the proloo-
llvo tariff , is and has been an In
strument of robbery and extortion.
It Is my deliberate Judgment lhat
neither ono of the parties , as a
national organization , has shown any dis
position to right those groal wrongs. At St.
t.ouls the people of my stale will bo unani
mous for Iho organisation of a national
party ; I would not call it the third parly , bul
the llrst , bocaaso I bollevp it to represent the
interests of the great muss of the common
people who are and ouirht lo bo , m realtly ,
the government. Representative. Livlncston
maintains tbat the delegates to the St. Louis
convention have no power lo tune nnv action
loaning to tbo organization of n third'party. "
