The Republican Primaries in Chicago
An Anti.Grant Victory.
CHICAGO, May 8th.-The Republican pri-
rnaries, to elect delegates to the Cook County
Convention, held to-day, elected GO Wash
burne, 5S Grant and Is Blaine delegates in
the eighteen wards of this city, and 10 Wash
burne, IL Grant and Blaine delegates from
the outside towns in the county. Total for
Washburne 70, Grant Co. Blaine 90. As the
remaining towns only send 20 delegates, these
figures insure an anti-Grant Convention, and
an anti. Grant delegation of % to the State
Convention on the 10Th. The fight was
sure Grant and anti Grant one from the start,
the Blaine and Washburne men having
agreed to work together, and to settle who
should have the delegation after it was won
from their common opponent. Chicago
never before witnessed such sharply-con-
tested primary election, and it was remarked
tibet never before had the Democrats turned
ont so strong at purely Republican primary.
Both parties are credited with getting in ex-
traordinarily rapid voting. In one ward lis
votes were polled III the five hours the polls
were open. The Grant men feel sore over
their defeat, but now declare that Cook
county was not necessary to their winning at
the State Convention anyway. They find
consolation in the returns coming in from the
County Conventions tonight, which give
them sixty State delegates to twenty-one for
Washburne and Blaine. These, added to the
figures compiled for the Times this morning.
give Grant 2f3 to 2l1 for both his opponents.
Cook county's 92 delegates will therefore be
a very important faction in deciding the COM
plexion of Illinois at the National Conven-
zion.
The Sensation n C0lOrcd MOnOmaniac
Caused in kentucky.
LOUISVILLE Ky, May Sth.-A Clarks-
Considerable excitement was caused yester
day by the Judgment in the Ovid Jail of Dan
Lyle (colored), his wife and a negro woman
named Susan Talley. 1t seems that Dan
and his wife, who have resided in Civil Dis
trict No. Is of this county for some time,
where they have been considered quiet, inof-
fensive people, of good character and frugal,
industrious habits, have more recently be-
come thoroughly imbued with emotional
religion, which Dan has let unseat his reason,
until ne is a perfect monomaniac upon the
subject. He has asserted that he was the
Saviour, ais wife the Virgin Mary, and
Susan Talley, who lives with them, the
prophecies. In his zeal he has, on divers
occasions, appeared at places of worship both
for white and black people, and insisted upon
playing his part as preacher, to the
great disgust of all present. Yesterday
the Csnstables of District No. 10 pro-
cured warrant for his arrest upon
q charge of disturbing public worship,
and went to his house to execute the same.
Dan resisted furiously, and assaulted Consta-

caded the windows and doors. Sheriff Mos
ley was sent for, and Immediately went to
the scene of action, accompanied by police
man Morrison, of this place. Upon his ar
rival Lyle Immediately surrendered. Upon
entering the house the officers were attracted
by smell of putrid human flesh, and on
making a search found two of Lyle's children
dead, with their necks broken. From the
appearance of their bodies, decomposition
having commenced, they must have been
dead for some time. A Coroners jury was
summoned, and verdict returned that the
children came to their death by violence.
Parties from the neighborhood say that the
impression is that the murder was instigated
by the Virgin Mary" and the Prophet
ess, who have both welded strong intlu-
ence over Lyle, and that be did the killing to
relieve the women of the care of the children,
believing that for the occasion he was a
Herod. Lyle's wounds are very painful, but
not considered mortal.
