Paris, Mo., Oct. 31.—Ah Generals Palmer and liuckner stood on the rear platform of their car here this morn ing to speak for the gold standard, a number ot young men pushed up with a liryan banner and fluunted it In the faces of the generals. The disturbers hooted for liryan, when at a number of ex-Confederate soldier* cried to General liuckner: "We are ashamed of them.” General Palmer tried to speak, but liis words were drowned. “This is a fine coimtry,” he exclaimed, finally, “and If you want to argue your causes this way you can do so with impunity.” Fresh shouts of derision greeted Gen eral Palmer and the old aoldler grew indignant, while his eyea snapped. • “Let these fellows wltn long ears bray,” he exclaimed. T. I! liuckner of Kansas City tried to quell the disturbance and finally General Palmer was able to say that lie simply wished to introduce General Uiicknsr. General liuckner was cheered, hut the crowd set up renewed cheers of “Look at the McKinley Aid Society!” General liuckner pointed at the ban ner and said: “Let ine tell you who and what constitute the McKinley Aid society, 1 hen referring to Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio, he said that the free silver agitators were the authors of the Democracy's ruin. “In Is!*'.’ on a sound money platform we elected Grover t 'lpveland, hut the last elections in Missouri, in Illinois, in Kentucky, in Ohio, wrre disastrous lie cause you. you siiouters with your heresies, drove the party on to failure and contempt. Hold up that banner. • There is the emblem of the McKinley Aid society. Look at it.” Ttie banner was then dropped to the ground. After hesitating some mo ments, tiie tuuntlng words of Oeneral Huckner urged them to raise it again. Mingled cries of “shame” and hoots ensued. General Buckner said: “All through Iowa we were treated with great courtesy. 1 did not believe that we would l>e shown such disrespect in Mis souri. I do not believe that it went further than the few roughs.” General Palmer said tiial all through tin- Mouth he had not met with any thing of the sort and was deeply surr prised. Boonvir.i.K, Mo., Oct. 30.—At Fay ette, a Bryan banner was advanced with an American flag marked: “Fay ette Democratic Club,” when Generals Palmer and Buckner appeared, and the bearers attempted to put the banner in General Palmer's face. A citizen named Williams tried to urge peace and the gold men rallied and rushed tin- Bryan banner back. A man tried to punch General Buck ner with the flag pole and Williams seized it and the crowd rushed upon him and began belaboring him. He is a Democrat. The lighting went on under the eyes of Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Buckner. The rioti rs tried to get at the generals and strike them with their Bryan ban ners. Scores of men fought bitterly around the car and the train had to leave without a word from the candi dates being heard. Before the actual blows began to be exchanged, dozens of citizens rushed up and shook hands witli the generuis and Pope Yeainan. who was to have introduced them. Most of the rioters were young men, members of the Fayette Democratic ciud. i ney wore nign wnue nals witn Hryan's name inscribed thereon, and white badges. Most of them seemed to belong to the well-to-do element. There was no warning of the intentions of the Fayette Democratic club. skiiai.ia. Mo., Oct. 30.—At Hannibal, nt Moberly and at Hoonville the recep tion of the generals was in murked contrast to the disorders at l’aris und Fayette. At Hoonville the boys from Kemper college, in their gray uniforms, mu relied up und formed a line, and '.'.nisi men and women, most of them wearing yellow flowers und yellow badges, greeted the generals with cheers and listened carefully to (ten* v oral 1 “aimer's remarks.

Oct. 31. — A San Francisco dispatch announcing the hasty marriage in that city of Dr. Frank: Donaldson and Kthcl l huso Sprague, the actress, daughter of Kate Chase Sprague, did not surprise the Maryland friends of Dr. Donaldson. He is the son of a Baltimore physician. Upon his graduation from Harvard he practiced his profession for several years in this city with success. In early life he married Mias Nnnnie B. McDonald, member of an old Virginia family. They spent several years abroad, but upon their return from Europe Mrs. Donaldson procured a di vorce from her husband, fkne of the sisters of Dr. Donaldson three weeks ago received a letter announcing that he had accepted a professorship in one of the medical colleges of Nan Fran cisco. I’rlor to this he lived for some months In New York city. He has written several plays anil was oulte a noted amateur actor, though he was never known to-aspire to the profes sional stage. It is understood that a secret mar riage was contracted by the young peo ple in July. The opposition of the bride's mother and tne fear that it might injure her professional career have been given as the reason why an nouncement was not made at the time of the marriage several months ago. The discovery that the facts were known is said to be responsible for the hurried religious ceremony performed last evening. TORNADO IN OKLAHOMA, rive Persons Killed at Mitchell—Was a Terrific Mlorni. Ot/TIIKIK, Ok la.. Oct. 31. — Wednesday night a disastrous tornado swept over the little town of Carney, thirty miles cast of here, which was recently held up by outlaws. The tornado came from the south west and traversed northeast. Its track was about six miles long, an«l varied from 100 to 150 feet in width. The first house struck was that of a farmer named Miles Tobe. Total's house was blown down anil Tobe. with his 10-year-old son Millard, was killed in the ruins. The barns and fences were razed, and fourteen head of stock were killed. One mile from Tobe’s place Is the Mitchell postofHee. M. T. Mullin kept thr postofllec. which was in his store. I'ostinaster Mull in's residence was lifted from its foundation and carried seventy-five feet, where it was smashed to smithereens. A bedstead which was in the house was blown over a mile. Yesterday morning the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Mullin were found in the rain and mud about sixty feet from where the houses were shattered to pieces. The two bodies were locked together, and a stick a yard long and two inches thick was driven through Mul tin's he-o‘ __ DENMARK RUSSIA’S ALLY.

A dispach to the 1’all Mull Gazette from Copenhagen relative to the enormous sums which are being expended by the Danish gov ernment upon fortifications of Copen hagen, says that this work is under taken in pursuance of a secret understanding arrived at between Rus sia and France, by which Russia guarantees the integrity of Denmark and tiiat, should a favorable occasion arise, site will insist upon part of Schleswig-Holstein, inhabited by Danes, being restored to Denmark in case a plebiscite of the inhabitants shows a desire of the people that this step should be taken, <>ii the other hand, the dispatch adds.

Nr.w York, Oct. 30. Wall street to day experienced an ante-election twist in the money market which precipi tated lively selling of stock* and caused a loss of most of the advance iu prices which Its* occurred during the past few days. it has l»cen evident for several days past that a good many |M'opie were taking steps to protect themselves against the effects of a free silver vic tory If lirynn should win in the elec tion Tuesday. This tendency showed It self in several ways. There was an increased demand for sterling hill* of l/ondon, a greater inquiry for “calls" on gold and a growing demand for gold to hoard. Hankers nave felt this movement through a loss of de posits. and they have heen compelled to withdraw more and more money from tlie call loan market. For several days call rates have ranged ratiier high. To-dar they were hid up to 50 per cent, and later up to 100 per cent. There were no great amounts loaned at the high rates, and comparatively little excitement was stirred up by the ad vance. as It was In a measure antici pated. There is more disposition now to hedge against n possible free silver vic tory than there lias been at any time since last summer, wlicu. as a result of the transfer of funds from this country to Kuropc. gold was going out in large amounts The action of the syndicate of foreign banker* in attempting to Stein that movement, and tin- favor utile turn in the trade balance a little later, which brought large sums of .. .

Hut the feeling has broken out again in the last few days. Hankers fieri- antici pated it and prepared for it as well as they could. Hut bunkers everywhere in the country did flic same tiling, and the withdrawal of funds from here by interior banks has prevented any great accumulation of cash here, it is well known that many hunks in interior cities are carrying a cash reserve of fifty to seventy per cent of their de posits. This sort of thing lias kept the cash reserves here at a very low point and compelled extraordinary conserva tion* on tile part of New York hunks. The drain of money to the country has been so great that practically all of the •60,000,000 which have come from Ku rojie hove gone into the Interior. Much of the gold Itself went into the treas ury, but the currency obtained In ex change went west and south. The nominal broker's premium on gold to-day was per cent. A number of reputable firms lire selling “calls''on gold, good thirty to ninety days, at Kct/l'/i per cent premium. There was a good deal of talk on the street about a probable issue of clear ing house certificates, hut It docs not come from an authoritative source.

A Missouri Butchery. Richmoxo, Mu., Oct. 39.—The most horrible and brutal crime ever com mitted in Hay county mine to light yes terday, when the dcud liodie* of Mrs. Jesse Winner and her two small chil dren were found at their home, on the Wulkins place, six miles northeast of this city. The victims Bre: Mr*. Kvii Winner, aged 39. Clara Winner, girl, aged 3, I’earle Winner, hoy, aged It months. Mr*. Winner'* body was found just outside of the house, with the skull terribly crushed, and the bodlr* of the two children in a corner of the one room of the house. The children's throats were cut. The murderer or murderer* are not known, hut the hus band uud flit her Is in jail (lending an Inmilry. The triple murder look place some time between II o'clock Monday night and 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The Winner home is alsiut half a mile back from the county road, and was occu pied by Jesse Winner and his family, which lias consisted of his wife and three children. Mr. Winner was not at home Monday night, his wife and children lie lug the oiflv ones on the place. Koine time during the night Mime unknown person or persons gained admittance to the house and before leaving blotted out three lives. From the apiM'itriiiice of the interior of IIki house it is evident that a tierce tight whs waged by tin- mother in de fense of herself and her little ones. Kverything wss in disorder and a broken chain, besmeared with blood, tells the late of Mrs. Winner's resist ance, for the blood was hers, and it was shed in liattlino with the inur dcrcr. It is plain that before she re ceived her death blow she managed to escupc from the house and was fleeing across the vnrd, when she wan over taken and felled with u fence rail. The blow crushed her skull, but to make sure work the murderer split tlie woman's head with an as, tlie blade burying Itself to tlie victim's eyes. After killing Mrs. Winner the brute returned to the house and killed two of the children, one a girl aged 3 years, named Clara, and the other a boy. is months old, named I’earle, by eu iting t-helr throats with a knife. The mur derer not only cut the jugular veins, hut severed the spinal cords of tlie hahies. Tile third child, which is deaf and dumb, escaped without injury. Jiefore tlie crime was discovered, hogs found tlie liody of Mrs. Winner and had eaten ail tlie flesh ofi her hend, leaving nothing but the skuli witii two gaping holes in it. Wiieri tlie husband and father was informed of the murder of ids family he appeared wholly unconcerned, which seemed to create strong sus picion against him. Winner is a coal miner, lie claims to have been in liiclimond when the crime was com mitted. Tins Winners came here about five ?’ears ago, coining from Tipton, 1'auld ng county, Ohio, where bis wife resided, ltotli were well connected, she having two brothers back in Ohio who are considered very wealthy. There Is strong talk of lyncliing, if the crime is fustened upon anyone. A $100,000 ERROR. Mistake of a Court Clerk Costs an In surance Company Heavily. Wan Fhabciscm, Oct.
