the mystery surrounding the murder of the
two Lcavitt children near Gresham a year

they had the man. The police-
liian then wrote Sheriff Adams n
long letter detailing the circumstances

had been committed. A colored man In
Memphis cnmo to him nnd Informed him thnt
whllo eating a lunch In n restaurant hoover-
heard a conversation bctweea two men In nn

when ono ol the others told bis companion
that the man who hud Just gone out. wbilo
tramping from Dakota through Nebraska ,

cred for the murderer The colrm-d ninn

what ho liad heard , nnd the three men were
arrested , but it seems that only the one who
Is supposed to bo the real murderer was
held , but Sheriff Adams telegraphed for
them to hold nil three of them until ho could

The murder of Caroline nnd Besslo Lcavitt
cceurred on the evening of Juno 10 , Ite'J ' , and
U looks very much as If the right party has

fciited In the senate. Then the democrats
gave cheer after cbeer. The speaker's gavel

eratio enthusiasm. "Another Bull Hun , "
ejaculated Brewer of Michigan.
The house went into committee of tnc
whole on the naval appropriation bill.
Mr. ICelly of Kansas , referring to the dem
ocratic enthusiasm , said the news from the

.o Tin : BKK. ] If there was consternation in
.ho combine's camp this irorning when the
republicans carried their point to refer tlio
egal points of the Lawrence county contest
cnso to the supreme court , It was only a cir
cumstance to the surprise the republicans re
ceived this afternoon when the
tables were turned nnd Bowell ( lud ) ,
who voted with the republicans , moved
a reconsideration , which carried by a vote of
01 to 58. A motion to take up the majority
report of the committee In favor of seating
.ho remaining contcstnnts from Lawrence ,
four in number , was then nwde , but after
considerable discussion , the previous ques
tion being seconded , Xortoif made a call of
the house , which was being rigidly held with
the prospect of a lengthy night session. He-
publicans stated on the lloor of the house that
: hey felt justified in resorting to dilatory tac
tics , and would oppose nn effort of the oppo
sition to force the question to a vote to the
uttermost. Those four additional contestants
being seated , republicans are forced to seol :
another candidate , which they nro now
casting around Dfor. Tlio Ulaek Hills
section claims the right of selecting such
candidate , which will bo hotly contested by
other portions of the st.Uc. Lake of liapfd
City is being trotted out as a dark horsn.
Atoint ballot for United States senator WRO
held n noon and attended ns usual. On thu
Jlrst ballot Moody received 73 votes ; Preston ,
3 ; litirdon , 21 ; Grose , Hi ; Kyle , 14 ; King , -I ;
Tripp , t3. ! and Pickler , Kellan , Converse ,
Howard , Sullivan nnd Howe each 1. The
total vote was 10 : ! , Shcafe , Dunham , Jolly
and McPnrlano of the sonata nnd IlicKiimn
and Wlttinnycr of the house being paired.
This vote showed no material changes ,
although when Preston announced his
.vote lor Kellan early In the roll It
was supposed to bo a signal for a break.
It scorns to becoming gradually. A second
ballot being taken , two moro left Moody ,
Corey going to Bixlcr and Robertson to
Preston. Ilnrdcn's vote was raised two ,
making him next to Moody. King , who re
ceived four votes , is a prominent grecnbacker
of Hand county. Predictions nro rlfo that
tomorrow or next day will see some radleuj
changes and probably an election. They do
not seem to bo well founded. However , In
the went of the Luwrenco county contest
ants .bclng-.scntcid thcro Is talk of the Black
Hills agreeing on a dark horse to take.
Moody's ' place.
The call of the house was finally broken at
0 o'clock and the republicans allowed a vote
to bo taken on the contest case , Blake vs
Fowler , which resulted In the seating of the
contestant. Fowler In giving up bis scat
made a speech in which ho promised that the
now independent party would hoar from It
two years hence. Ho'said If they had taken
his own personal property in the sanm way
ho would have shot the party who did It. By
agreement adjournment was taken until 10
o'clock. It will now almost be a miracle if a
republican senator is elected.
No Change In Illinois.
Si-niNOi'iEi.n , 111. , Jan. 2 < ! . In the Joint ses
sion tlio iirst ballot was without change from
the previous ones. As no one moved to ad
journ the oallot ing continued.
After the tlurty-llrst ballot of tbo session
was taken without result the assembly ad
journed until tomorrow.
On the ballot In the
thirty-first Joint ses
sion today there was a decided sensation
when Taubcneck , F. M. B. A , , voted for
Palmer. Cheer after cheer arose from the
democratic side , but It was soon learned that
Tnubcncck had ncrecd for a joke to exchange
votes with Kowand. The democratic leaders
endeavored to pcrsundo Ilownnd not to carry
out the trailo , but ho did , nnd when his nnmo
was called voted for Strecter amid laughter
from the republican side. '

SriuxoFicLu , 111. , Jan. 20. Mr. Streotor
will have a conference with the three Farm
ers' Mutual Bcucllt association men , nt which
will bo decided the question of drooping
btrccter and taking up nnothcr candidate
who might be moro acceptable to the other
parties. The farmers would not say what
other man tlicy had In mind.
In nn interview tonight Moore nnd Cockrcll
both said llatly that they will not nt any time
support General Palmer.
Codfroll had an extended conference this
evening wlthCliKlrninn Jones of the republican
state central committee nnd Senator Fuller
of the republican steering committee on the
senatorial question. Ho was positively in
formed that the republicans would not conio
over to Streotor. Cockvoll frankly told the
republicans that the Farmers' Mutual Bene
fit association men would never vote for
Palmer if the republicans would not Join
them In ths election of thu farmer candidate.
The republicans tliinlly held out hopes to
Cockrcll that pcrhapj ultimately some com
promise candidate might bo found who would
receive the solid republican mid Farmers'
Mutuul Benefit association vote.
