A NICE ONO BoY.-Edward Young,
son of prominent attorney, at George.
town, Ohio, shot and killed George Ash
more about ten o'clock Saturday night
and seriously, if not fatally, wounded
James Ashmore and Clinton Campbell.
Young and James Ashmore had previ-
ously had several qusrrels. The two
Ashmores and Campbell were in Lawill
& Inkskeep's grocery on Saturday night,
the Ashmores being intoxicated. As
they were going out they met Young en-
tering. High words followed, and
Young, drawing revolver, said: Don't
crowd me, or I'll hurt you" He then
fired three shots. the first killing George
Ashmore, the second striking Campbell
IN the left side, and the third taking
effect in James Ashmore's head. 1t is
thought the latter may recover, but there
is no hope for Campbell. Young is
about eighteen years old, and Jim Ash
more about the same age. Young was
arrested, and will plead self-defense.

Why Calabash Sam Consented to
Leave GunnIsOn.

ACdtO
Three months ago, when two hundred
of the leading citizens of Gunnison CITY
met in convention on a street corner,
there were seven or eight Michigan men
among the crowd When Col. Parker
presented the following resolution, it
was Michigan man who supported it:
'ReSOlted, That committee of five
be appointed to wait ON Calabash Sam,
late of Deadwood, and inform him that
after sunrise TO morrow this crowd will
open fire on him, with the intention of
furnishing a corpse for our new grave
yard.
The committee of five went out to find
Samuel and deliver their message. He
sat on bench at the door of his shanty.
a shotgun across his knees and a pipe in
his mouth, and he preserved silence
while the chairman of the committee
read the resolution. Then he asked:
THAT means me, does it?"
'She does.
"They don't like my style of carving
and shooting eh?'
That's what they kick on"
''Well, won't go. You haven't got
'nuff men in the whole valley to drive
Calabash Sam a rod. Return to the
convention and report that I'm here for

Exactly, Samuel, exactly. You may

Presidential Disability Vie,cs Of Toor
bees.


TERRE HAUTE, Sept. 5.-The Euening &C.
settc prints lengthy interview with Senator
VOORHEES,, Of which the following points are
the most striking: After promising that the
time required for the Presidents recovery
might extend through his entire remaining
term and that there were no presidents in
American history in the mater, the question
first to be settled is "who shall decide The
question of inability? Certainly not the Vice
President. lie might, If too aspiring,
refuse to turn over the Office
when once he had assumed IL.
It then would also be likely to change hands
on very slight inability if, as it once occurred
in our history, the Vice President
was at open war with the President. Neither
have the cabinet the power 10 decide the
Presidents inability, or to invite the new
President to act in his place. They could not
do so under the constitution or under United
States statutes. The question uust be decid-
ed by Congress, which meets in regular ses-
sion in December. The government is SO well
constructed, so strong and harmonious, that
no interest will suffer if the President should
not be able to lift his hand or speak until
then. Those who would raise needless diff
culties or present factious questions
would meet heavy condemnation at
the hands of the people. The safest and
simplest way for congress to do would be to
create commission of say five members, en-
bracing the chief justice of the United States
supreme court, the secretary OF state, the
surgeon general of the army, and two OF the
attending surgeons, whose duty it should be
to determine whether the President was I'M
able to discharge the duties of bis office, the
action of the Vice President of course, to de-
pend on their decision. The same commission
would determine when The President was able
again to discharge the duties of his office.
Such an act of Congress might become law
without the Presidents signature If the bill
had been presented him, and he had not vetoed
it in ten days thereafter.
