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*

h<s|uct of yellow chrysanthemums was

At Filot drove, where the train only

ETHEL SPRAGUE MARRIED.
The Tonne ArlrrM of Noted Family
Iferomeft a Pliyuli lan‘« Wife.
Rai.timoiik. Mil.. 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

London, Oct. 31. A dispach to the

relative to the enormous sums which
are being expended by the Danish gov
ernment upon fortifications of Copen

taken in pursuance of a secret
understanding arrived at between Rus

guarantees the integrity of Denmark

step should be taken,

THE KISSING PROBLEM.

Ini>ianai'oi.ih, 1ml., Oct 31.—The
secretary of the state health board re
port* that at Columbus a man persisted
in kissing his sweetheart, who was
alarmingly ill of diphtheria, by which

therefore wants to interdict all kiss

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

rope, had the effect of <|itieting |»eo
plc's fear*. and since then, until tills
week, there has not been much
uneasiness over the election. 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

Arrested.
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.
