special to the Star.
MANSFIELD, o., Dec. There Is the
greatest excitement here-one horrible
murder and the attempted murder of a
whole family, about 8 O'Clock this morn.
ing A family named Finney, two miles
south of this city, was attacked by two
men and old man Finney killed. Mrs.
Finney WAS so bally injured that she
is not expected to live. A grown son ia
badly used up, having three ribs broken
and one eye put out, aud s0n's wife
is also badly bruised ana supposed 10
be injured internally by the fearful
blows. The men used gun which was
clubbed, and one alter another knocked
down as they came to the aid OF the old
man, upon whom the assault was first
made. After the encounter the assail-
ants fed.
The authorities have been using every
effort to detect the murderers, and col
cred man, believed to be one OF them,
was arrested this morning.
The colored man arrested Is named
Webb. He was tracked by blood from
the residence Of the Finneys to his own
door. And the gun which is at Finney's
is believed to be his. After clubbing the
old people to death, or nearly so, young
Finney and his wife, who slept Ia an
other room, rushed In and the young
son olinchcd with the murderer and
succeeded in wsunaing him and RETAIN
ing the gun. There is now believed to
nave been but one assailant, and II
seems pretty sure tnat WEBB is the
man.

Walton al Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE signicance
OF the debate in the executive session
yesterday lies in the fact that Senator
Matthews championed the President
and defended him against the attack oil
Senator Conkling. This is the first lime
that issue has been Joined between any
friends of the President in the Senate,
so-ca!led enemies OF the President.
Now that the fight has commenced: in
earnest. it will no doubt be prosecuted
with vigOr until one or the other OF the
opposing lactions surrender, or may be
until the end of the session. The de-
bate between Matthews and Conkling
was almost the sole topic Of discussion
mere last night, and great curiosity is
manifested as to the stand the Demo.
cratic Senators will take.
Some think they will assist the Presi-
dents trends i'll securing confirmation
OF all nominations, while others express
the opinion that on account of the fail
ule OF Matthews and others Of the Presi-
denps friends in the Senate to stand by
the Democrats in their late struggle to
defeat the admission OF Kellogg, the
Democratic Senators will remain neu-
tral.
The executive session to-day lasted
ally three hours, and most of the time
WAS consumed by Senator Conkliug,
who made lengthy speech on the sui
ject OF the pending nominations, and
criticised, among other things, the form
adopted for the denominations which
nave been submitted 10 The Senate. Toe
language used In the cases alluded to is
so framed that the parties are dominated
to succeed themselves to Office. They
lave never been confirmed, and the form
was characterized by Mr.. Uonkling as a
solecism and glaring Inconsistency.

tical operations OF the civil service as
directed by the administration, and
