Toledo, o., December 25,-About o'clock this
morning Walter G. Drury drug clerk at Napoleon,
was shot and instantly killed by General Robert
X. Scott, Of that place, formerly Colonel of the
sixty.eighth Regiment Ohio Volunteers, and sf.
forwards Governor Of South Carolina. The only

and somewhat dissipated, had been on a Christ.
mas spree with Drury and a party Of friends, and
early In the evening his fether had succeeded in
getting him home. Later the boy had gone off
with his companions and finally had been put
to bed by Drury in the lbtter's room over the
drug store. When Governor Scott discovered the
whereabouts Of his son he went to the drug store
and demanded admittance. He remained within
only q few moments and on coming out declared
he had shot Drury. The declaration was found
to be only too true. Scott was not arrested till
o'clock this afternoon, when he was taken in
custody by the Sheriff on his own responsibility,
Meantime the excitement spread among the peO.

Drury declared that no justice would be admin.

trouble OF holding a trial. The feeling soon
grew so intense that 1t was necessary to summon
Company OF the Sixteenth Ohio National
Guard, OF Napoleon, to protect the hotel at which
the prisoner was held and they are now on guard.
The reason Of this feeling is the fact that there
has been three murders recently in Henry COun-

course the greatest confusion and disorder pre-
vailed on the aoor and In the galleries, but in
the midst of It the Speaker took the chair and
called upon the Sergeant'at.Arms to do his duty.
Just then, however there was nothing particular
to be done by that official, as the combatants had
been removed by their respective friends and
there was no danger Of them assaultng each
other. After the disorder had subsidized Mr.. Covert
resumed the chair, the committee rose and the
House adjourned.

SETTLING Yesterdays ROW - WEAVER AND
SPARKS APOLOGIZE.
Washington, December 22,-Iu the House to-
day the first thing done was to haul Weaver and
Sparks over the Goals for the disturbance they
raised yesterday There was good deal Of talk
about how terribly the dignity" Of the House
was outraged by the brawl of these two gentle
men and they were threatened with expulsion
although as Fernando Wood suggested, the
House collectively was about as much to blame
as the two Cul prt9 were and had better apologize
to the country. Weaver ar Sparks got severe
lecturing by several members and were hidden to
apologize or be expelled. They declined to
apologize upon such terms, when the House got
down little and resolved that the two delin.
quents be permitted" to apologize. Thereupon
Mr. Weaver arose and spOlogized in very hum.
BILE manner, and was followed by Sparks, who
was not 80 humble but who made an apology
that was deemed satisfactory. This appeased the
offended House and Its wounded dignity was
considered to have been sufficiently salved, and
no further punishment was administered to
Weaver and Sparks. The House, after this did
nothing OF Importance. In the Senate there was
some discussion on various subjects and Mr.
Morgan made long argument on his resolution
to submit a constitutional amendment giving
Congress power to make rule governing the
electoral count, There was no quorum present

GRAIN STATISTICS.

Chicago, December 28-It appears, from pub
lished figures, that the total storage capacity in
this city is %, 100000 bushels, Of which 19455 900
Is elevator room, 2S22OOO is sail vessel room, and
925 600 is steam vessel room. The increase over
last years capacity is 100000 bushels. There
are now in store here 100000 bushels Of grain
against 12 100000 bushels this time last year, A
grain glut, similar to that of last spring. Is not
improbable.

from the different district organizations that go to
make up the Tammany General Committee to the
number Of thirty or forty have resigned, and the

his intention of remaining out Of Tammany
Hall in the future. Mr.. schell has for several
years given much Of his time and thousands Of
dollars toward furthering the interests Of the or
gani alton under John Kelly. 1t was no secret
that Kelly looked upon him as one Of the few re-
