How General Butler Won the Day.

Washington correspondence of the Springfield
Republican
There is another thing which must speak
of before quitting this unpleasant subject,
and it is the way in which the opposition to
Simmons fought him. Butler took his coat
and gloves OFT and won The "respecta-
bles" were too nice to go near the Senate,
and the consequence was that Butler drove
his plowshare right through the mellow
ground. Responsibility in Boston and in
Connecticut has different flavor. Who
can be more respectable than Deacon Buck
lngham! Yet Butler labored with him for
long time in the Senate. Boston would
have felt itself degraded by such work, and
Boston got whipped. and, what is more, if
this is the way the opposition to Butler in
Massachusetts, is going to fight its great bat
tie next tall, it is easy enough to see what
the result will be. Butler will be the neyt
Governor Of the State, and do not feel at
all sure it will not be a good thing. If he
is the bad man his opponents represent, let
Massachusetts, take him and manage him
and if we are mistaken, and he proves to
be good executive, it is time that he had
credit for his goodness. l see nothing to in
dictate that. those members of the Massa.
chusetts delegation who opposed Simmons
intend any hard fight against Butler. Not
one of them will admit that the President
IS seriously to blame, and in the content
against Butler next fall we shall see the ola
game played over sgain-of praises of the
administration that gives to Butler most of
his power at home, and depunciationa of
tho man himself!

Perils Of the Trnpeze.

The New York News of Saturday says:
James Sylvestre, trapeZe performer,
while in the act of playing at the Thirty
fourth Street Theatre last night, fell from
the rope and was killed. He had been en-.
gagged at the theatre about week, and
was doing at the moment he tell what is
known as the leap for life." His head
struck the stage box with terrible force,
and he was SO stunned by the conclusion
that he lay insensible on the stage for sew
eral minutes. The people engaged behind
the curtain removed him to the green room
and gave what attention was possible.
Warden Brennan, of Bellevue Hospital,
being notified of the accident, went
promptly to the theatre and caused the re-
moval of Sylvestre to the hospital. Medi-
cal attendance was at once brought to him,
but he died in few minutes after reaching
there. The audience in the theatre had SO
little suspicion of what had occurred that
they sat in the house during the remainder
of the entertainment.
The family of the young man, who was
but twenty years old, are said to be very
poor, and benefit at the theatre Is in con-
temptation for them, as he was their main
support. The coroner has been notified,
and an inquest will be held to-day. De-
ceased was formerly printer, but having
splendid. physique, abandoned that bust
ness and became an athlete.
The Syracuse Courier says that the trapeze
performer in the Boston Opera House that
city, Damed Hurdle, had very bad fall on
Wednesday. He has two swinging bars in
the dome of the opera house, twenty-five
feet apart, and the principal feat he per-
forms is to swing back and forth on one bar
until, it is we'll under motion, and then,
letting go his hold, he flies off to the other,
turning somersault in his passage through
the air, and Selling the bar twenty five feet
away as he passes the ropes. Wednesday
afternoon he was practcing this feat, when
he met with an accident which nearly cost
him his life. In making his leap through
the air he passed entirely beyond and over
the other bar without touching it and struck
the gallery. Fortunately he succeeded in
Selling the netting, or he would have fallen
on the seats below and been seriously if
not fatally injured. AS it was he was famed
so that it was impossible for him to appear
at night,

judge Lewis Dent.

A dispatch from Washington city last
evening announces the death, in that place,
of Judge Lewis Dent, brother of Mrs.
Grant. He died at six o'clock Sunday morn
ing, from a tumor in the stomach, which
has confined him to his bed for several
months.
Judge Dent was born in st. Louis, on the
corner of Third and Elm streets, and was
raised on the Gravois and Whitehaven
farm. the residence of his father, twelve
miles out from the city.
He graduated at St. Charles College. in
the city of st. Charles, Missouri, in 1898.
He then filed position as clerk in the
Othce), under General Ruland who, as clerk
of that court, was ex officio recorder of
deeds. Young Dent then studied law three
or four years in the office of Judge Edward
Bates. In 1916 he went to California, and
in 1850 he was elected one of the judges Of
the Circuit Court of San Francisco. After
remaining in California about six years, he
went to the State of Mississippi, where he
married the daughter of Judge Balm, of the
Circuit Court, and settled down to the prac-
tice Of the law. At the breaking out of
the war he came to Missouri, having spent
five or six years in Mississippi. On ar
irving in st. Louis he settled at Wishton-
Wish, on the Gravois; and built the man
sion known by that name, and which was
recently burned bown, it being owned by
President Grant. At the close of the war
Judge Dent went back to Mississippi, and
ran for Governor. but was beaten bv AL.

where he entered into par tnership with Mr..
c. Page in the claim business, and having
prospered, he bought fine residence on j

Died on the Boat.

A Waterman on the steamer Utah, named
Caesar Clucas, died on board the boat some
distance below this city on Thursday, from
the effect of INJURIES received at New Or
leans a week before: When the boat ar
rived here yesterday the coroner was sum-
moned and an inquest held on the body,
and from the evidence there adduced we
gather some particulars of the manner of
the unfortunate mans taking OIL. 1t ap-
pears that some i'll feeling Oh "bad blood"
had been existing between Clucas, who
was the Waterman on the boat, and the
cook. who was known as Charley, and a
cabin boy named George, both negroes
On Thursday nignt of last week, while
the steamer Utah was lying at the wharf
in New Orleans, the cook and cabin boy
mentioned came aboard the boat late at
night, and the Waterman met them at the
head of the stairs leading to the boiler
deck. They had some words, when the
Waterman told George and Charley to go
to bed.
George resented this demand and replied
that he would do nothing of the sort, that
he, Clucas. was employed to watch the boat,
not to order people to bed. George then
walked back in the cabin and pulled off his
coat, and, coming out again, remarked in a
bravado style to Clucas that he could
lick him or any other -. Clucas and
George walked out on the boiler deck to-
gether, Charley meanwhile remaining in the
cabin. While George and the Waterman
were standing on the deck. Charley was
seen to reach behind him and gather up a
heavy lump of coal, which he threw at Gu
cas-, and which striking him ia the back of the
head with such force, knocked him senseless.
The two negroes, George and Charley,
then left the boat and went on shore. A
few minutes after Clucas got up and
walked into the cabin with his head badly
cut and bleeding protusely. He laid down
on the floor, and some of the crew dressed
his wounds, after failing to obtain the SER
vices eff doctor that night. A physician
came the next morning and attended him.
and he fingered along until the boat was
within short distance of this city when he
died. During the holding OF the inquest
witness named Deart testified that the
cook, Charlie. came to him and asked how
Caesar was, and said I've got him now
After listening to all the evidence in the
case, the jury brought in verdict that the
deceased had come TO his death by wounds
inflicted on his head by an instrument in
the hands of George and Charlie, cook and
cabin boy. a telegram was Immediately
sent to New Orleans for the arrest of the
parties named, and the body was taken on
up the river for interment.- Ticksburg

The Mississippi Democracy Gone Up.

The Democratic party of Mississippi is on
it's last legs. A few nights ago H. H. Banks
dale. ESQ, one of the proprietors of the
Clarion, published in this city, since and
for long time before the war the leading
Democratic journal in the State, joined the
Republican club, and had his name enrolled
among the elect.
To this complexion will the entire South
come at last. The sovereigns will range
themselves on either side Of mild or ultra
Republicanism, or new issues will arise,
The temporary life infused into old time
Democracy by the election of Governor
Allen in Ohio fails of any marked effect in
this section. The AlcOrn wing represents
the native, as opposed to the carpetbag or
Ames wing. The gubernatorIal canvass
settled the matter so far as the Democratic
organization is concerned. A great major
ity of the Democrats who voted at all voted
for Alcorn. Forty thousand whites re-
manned away from the polls and this forty
thousand could have elected Alcorn beyond
any shadow of doubt They stayed at
home, however, on election day, and are
responsible for whatever ills pure and uu-
adulterated carpet-baggery may bring in its
train.
1t is understood that the detection of Har.
ris Barksdale receives the hearty approval
of his father, the editOr-ln chief of the Clar
ION, Major Ethel Barksdale, who has long
exercised controlling influence in the pol
itics of Mississippi, in common with the
Barksdale family. General William Barks-
dale, who fell at Sharpsburg leading his
splendid Mississippi brigade, was one of the
most ultra Yancey Democrats in Congress
Just before the war. With him abolitiOnism
was the sum of all moral, social and politi-
cal villainy. In this sentiment all of his
name heartily concurred. and, being men of
brains, position and influence, they added
much to the popular storm which swept the
State out OF the Union in January 1861.
The idea of a Barksdale as anything else
but Democrat seems almost preposterous:
and when detection occurs in such camp,
it needs no prophet to sing the final doom
of the Democratic party in this State. 1t
is, in fact, already dead. Men must live,
you know; and the proprietors of the lead
ing Democratic paper in the State see moth
ing else in sight unless they calmly told
their arms and 60 up the financial spout
